"Stupid, you scared me to death today. I’m so angry. I’m going to put chili in your food and make you cry!"
"What right do you have to withhold from me what you give her so freely?"
"Lu Xing, this isn't fair."
"If one day I meet someone I like, I'll teach him to play the piano! I'll sing, and he'll be my accompaniment. We'll share the cheers and the applause! From then on, every lyric I sing will bear his mark!"
"Lu Xing, I hate you."
The blonde girl sat on the bridge railing, the rushing river water churning below. She turned her head and flashed her usual arrogant smile.
The next second.
She was swallowed by the rolling river water.
Ah!
Lu Xing sat up abruptly, drenched in a cold sweat.
"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
A gentle voice sounded by his ear. Lu Xing met CEO Wen's worried eyes.
Wen Lingxiu anxiously tidied her messy sleepwear, which barely covered the large patches of her snow-white skin. She quickly asked:
"What did you dream about? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
Lu Xing tugged at the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't force a smile.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. CEO Wen, let's go back to sleep."
Lu Xing lay back down.
Wen Lingxiu looked at him with concern. She was just about to speak when her wrist was caught, and she was pulled directly into Lu Xing's embrace.
"Sleep, CEO Wen."
Wen Lingxiu sighed. Since Lu Xing wouldn't speak, she couldn't force him.
Instead, she gently patted his back and slowly hummed a lullaby.
Lu Xing's eyes were tightly closed, but his mind was incredibly sharp.
It had been two weeks since he had completely rejected Xia Yeshuang.
He should have been very happy during these two weeks.
During the day, he would spend time with the senior sister; at night, he would return to CEO Wen.
He would stroll with the senior sister along the school’s ginkgo path.
They would spend an entire afternoon arguing over whether scrambled eggs with tomatoes should be sweet or salty, and they’d take Xiaobai to the pet groomer for a trim.
By the way, the groomer's skills were better than any "Tony" at a hair salon. At least Xiaobai came out of the shop with a smile.
But.
Lu Xing hugged the woman in his arms tighter. His nightmares were becoming more frequent.
This was "adding frost to snow" making his already insufficient sleep even worse.
'Xia Yeshuang...'
She wouldn't do something so desperate, would she?
Lu Xing frowned, mentally criticizing his current behavior as extremely unprofessional.
He had never expected Xia Yeshuang to have actually read that book.
Her feelings were too strong, too fervent, so much so that the memory of it still haunted him.
But.
He had rejected her thoroughly that day. It should be over.
A tsundere like Xia Yeshuang would remember a slight for years; he had rejected her so harshly that she must hate him now, right?
'Wei Qingyu...'
Right!
And Wei Qingyu!
Why on earth did she go to that mountain temple that day?!
Lu Xing was full of questions.
But he couldn't just go and ask her.
Things on Wei Qingyu's side had finally quieted down. If he messaged her now, it would look like he was trying to "fish" for her again.
Countless doubts tangled in his heart.
He felt he wasn't working hard enough.
If he were a real protagonist, he should have been hit by a truck, awakened a "system," and been given a mind-reading "golden finger."
That way.
He would definitely reach the pinnacle of the Simp Gods!
"Be good. Don't think so much anymore. Your head will hurt."
Auntie Wen's soft hand landed on his brow, gently smoothing his furrowed gaze.
Lu Xing caught her hand and said with a low laugh:
"Can't I even think about you?"
"...You can think about me."
Wen Lingxiu's face grew hot. She lowered her head and buried it in his shoulder.
She could feel the slight vibration of his chest as he laughed, making her cheeks flush.
The land for the amusement park had been acquired.
Lu Xing was still holding her tightly.
Her career and love life were both smooth sailing. Wen Lingxiu felt that heaven had been too kind to her recently.
A person is always happiest when they are "infinitely close to happiness."
As she leaned on his shoulder, enveloped by warmth and security, she thought:
This happiness has an expiration date.
But when it expires, will she be able to successfully "quit" him?
She should be able to, right?
She was very good at self-restraint.
Wen Lingxiu took a deep breath and relaxed in his arms.
Her birthday was coming up.
Would Lu Xing remember?
...
Saturday.
Liu Qingqing invited Lu Xing to the aquarium. He agreed.
"This one smells good."
In front of Liu Qingqing was a row of perfumes.
She was struggling to choose the best scent, occasionally glancing out the window with anticipation to see if Lu Xing had arrived.
A woman adorns herself for the one who pleases her. She had to appear before him in her most beautiful state!
Since the museum incident, she had apologized to him with extreme sincerity, and Lu Xing hadn't been angry.
After spending all this time together...
Liu Qingqing thought, it was time.
She hadn't planned to reveal her feelings so quickly, but Xia Yeshuang's kiss had completely snapped her sensitive nerves.
A pursuer, a pursuer.
If there was one Xia Yeshuang, there would be another, and then another.
Only when Lu Xing officially belonged to her could she be at ease.
Liu Qingqing nervously opened and closed a small box on her dressing table, checking it over and over.
Inside the box were two shiny rings.
She...
Was going to confess to Lu Xing.
Liu Qingqing’s gaze fell on her own wrist.
Since she had been spending time with him, she hadn't self-harmed in a long while.
To ensure Lu Xing never saw anything unsightly, she had even started going to the hospital for scar removal treatments.
Meow~~~
Liu Qingqing picked up Xiaobai and kissed the cat, a deep, intense look flashing in her eyes. She murmured:
"Xiaobai, there are only two outcomes today."
"If the confession succeeds, you'll have a daddy."
"If the confession fails, you'll have no mommy."
