Everything inside the room was covered with a layer of dust since no one had been living there for a while. At some point, the window had also been blown open by the wind, and there were leaves everywhere…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold autumn wind blew through the window. Lu Tingxiao stood at the entrance, a tall and slim figure. He swept his gaze over every corner of the room with some warmth in his cold eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\" Ning Xi didn't understand as she looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing.\" Lu Tingxiao stopped looking around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a tiny, run-down apartment which Starlight had arranged for her, but it held precious memories of the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mm, later he would arrange for someone to purchase the building straightaway…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What can I do?\" Lu Tingxiao asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Xi scratched her head, and found a large empty box, then pointed at the tall bookshelf \"You’re tall, can you help me pack all the books in here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"Lu Tingxiao rolled his sleeves up, ready to begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Xi looked at his clothes, which were probably more expensive than this apartment, and touched her forehead as if she had a headache. \"Wait… wait a minute!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, she pulled out a doctor’s white coat from who knows where, and stood in front of him. \"Take your coat off and put this on so that you don’t get dust on your clothes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Tingxiao obediently removed his suit jacket, looking at the white coat with curious surprise. \"Where did you get this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a costume, I was working with a production team that was too poor to buy their actors clothes, so I bought it myself!\" Saying this, Ning Xi gave it to him to put on.\"Luckily it’s quite loose!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she said that, she looked at Lu Tingxiao and was struck completely dumb. She couldn’t help swallowing, and couldn’t hide the impressed look on her face…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Tingxiao looked too good in a white coat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was straight-up uniform temptation, hey!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy sheet, even moving house was not safe!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Xi shook her head and came back to her senses. \"Nothing, nothing… then let’s start! I’ll go pack up all my clothes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"Lu Tingxiao nodded, and looked at Ning Xi’s fleeing back before he started packing up the books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Tingxiao might look unhurried when he did things, but actually he was swift and very productive, and he cleared the bookshelf very quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he continued to move books, a picture fell out of a book of Shakespeare’s collected works…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Tingxiao picked it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a group of young people in the picture, wearing clothes in punk and metal styles. Ning Xi was in the middle; she had extremely short hair, was dressed head to toe in a black motorbike suit, and had a free and confident smile on her face, looking like a handsome young boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her arm was resting on a man’s shoulder, and she had turned her head to talk to him; they looked intimate, so presumably they were very close to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for that man, his head was turned to the side as he lit a cigarette, plus the lighting was dim, so instead of a clear image, he was nothing more than a blurry side profile…\u003C\u002Fp>",701,"2026-06-06T10:48:50.570Z",1,"novelbin.me","25ff4e2a3818189305c875bfc2611c234d1da1fd471f214e445b5df65104e13b","hidden-marriage-chapter-241","hidden-marriage-chapter-239",2163,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhidden-marriage-cover.jpg"]
