After getting into the car, Jiang Yixia sat in the backseat, leaning against the window with her eyes closed. Lu Fan sat beside her. Chen He started the engine, and the car headed toward Jiang Yixia's home.
The interior of the vehicle was quiet, save for the low rumble of the engine. Jiang Yixia's breathing was faint; she seemed to have fallen asleep. Lu Fan glanced at her. Her head rested against the glass, swaying gently with the bumps in the road. He reached out and gently guided her head to rest on his shoulder. Jiang Yixia stirred and mumbled something, but she didn't push him away.
The car pulled up to Jiang Yixia's apartment building. Lu Fan gently patted her shoulder.
"Yixia, we're here," he said softly.
She didn't react.
"Yixia," he called out again.
