That night, He Qing Nian drove Rong Lu Xue home. The car ride was enveloped in a heavy silence, the weight of the evening's events still fresh in their minds.

He Qing Nian's grip on the steering wheel tightened, his jaw clenched in silent fury. The image of Deng Lun's callous words and cruel accusations replayed in his mind, fueling the fire of his anger.

Beside him, Rong Lu Xue sat in silence, her gaze fixed on the passing scenery. He could sense her turmoil, her emotions roiling beneath the surface. He wished he could ease her pain, but he knew that healing would take time.

As they pulled up to Rong Lu Xue's home, He Qing Nian turned off the engine but remained seated, giving her a moment of quiet reflection.

After several moments, He Qing Nian finally broke the silence, his voice gentle but filled with concern. "Lu Xue, we're here."

Rong Lu Xue looked at him, her eyes reflecting a mixture of gratitude and sadness. "Thank you, Qing Nian. For everything."

He Qing Nian nodded in reply.

As Rong Lu Xue stepped out of the car, He Qing Nian followed, walking her to her front door. He wanted to make sure she felt safe and supported, even if it was just for this moment.

Rong Lu Xue stepped onto the threshold of her porch. Her mind could already predict the foreboding sense of solitude that will overwhelm her tonight. The weight of the evening's events pressed heavily on her, and she longed for someone, anyone, to share in her turmoil. Not a house that was empty with its haunting absence.

She could feel the man was still standing behind her patiently. His warm presence was a reassuring comfort.

Maybe, just maybe...

When it was time for Rong Lu Xue to turn the door knob of her house, she paused. Looking back hesitantly, she embarrassedly asked, "Would you care to accompany me for a drink? I.. just need a companion for tonight."

The man behind her seemed surprised by her sudden invitation. His eyes widening in surprise.

"I-it's just for a drink...", Rong Lu Xue repeated, "There's no hidden purpose behind it, I swear!"

He Qing Nian's surprised expression softened into a deep chuckle. "Sure, a drink and some company sounds like just what we both need right now."

"Ah, great!" Rong Lu Xue's face lit up with a radiant smile, her eyes forming crescents of joy.

"After you, Qing Nian." She opened the door, welcoming him into the comfort of her home. As they both stepped inside, the door closed behind them, enclosing them in a sanctuary of warmth and quiet. The world outside seemed to fade away, leaving just the two of them in the comforting embrace of Rong Lu Xue's home.
