According to scientific research, under the influence of serotonin and melatonin, people are more likely to fall into an emo mood at night.
Therefore, at night, it is not suitable to make decisions, and even less suitable to be truly open and honest.
Otherwise, the next day, some people are very likely to want to beat themselves to death from the previous night.
But for Lu Xing...
At night, his brain would be exceptionally active and clear.
His occupational disease was much more serious than Chi Yueshan's. He would unconsciously review the day's events at night.
While telling stories as usual...
Lu Xing was thinking in his heart, why on earth was Auntie Wen acting like this?
He felt that Auntie Wen's behavior was a bit beyond the scope of guilt and compensation.
Under the warm yellow light.
Lu Xing leaned against the headboard, flipping through the storybook, reading those fairy tales in a low and bewitching voice.
Day after day, he repeated that the princess and the prince lived happily ever after.
Nannan was already so sleepy her eyelids were fighting, but Wen Lingxiu was still wide awake.
She lay on her side, her gaze fixed on Lu Xing's hands.
Long, and very handsome.
Finally.
After confirming that Nannan was asleep, Lu Xing closed the storybook and placed it neatly on the bedside table.
"Are you leaving?"
Just as Lu Xing was about to lift the covers, his hand was suddenly held by Auntie Wen.
Not right.
Lu Xing's heart was filled with disbelief.
Again?
Last time he slept with Wen Lingxiu, it made him run out of the bedroom the next day, clutching his junk and stumbling.
And now again?
Wen Lingxiu's eyes were watery as she said, charming and beautiful.
"I've been having nightmares recently."
Nightmares?
Lu Xing subconsciously thought of that great fire.
Alright, alright.
Soothing the client's emotions is his duty.
Lu Xing held Wen Lingxiu's hand, patted the back of her hand, and said softly.
"Don't be afraid. I'll stay here with you."
Although this Lu Xing person was young, he was extremely reliable.
Wen Lingxiu thought, perhaps in another time and space, the two of them would have a different ending.
And she...
Could only cherish the remaining time, and live every day as if it were the last.
Click.
Lu Xing turned off the light, leaving only a night light.
He once again lay on the master bedroom's large bed. The presence of Wen Lingxiu beside him was impossible to ignore.
Suddenly, a light laugh sounded by Lu Xing's ear.
Wen Lingxiu slowly slipped her hand into the gaps between his fingers and said softly, "You're about to fall off."
Lu Xing wanted to die. "I'm afraid of crowding you."
"You won't. The bed is very big."
Lu Xing was furious.
This Auntie Wen has really fucking gone crazy!
Isn't it enough for me to be proper? Do you have to...
Good, good, good.
Anyway, I'm not the one losing out!
Lu Xing directly squeezed from the edge of the bed towards the middle, making Wen Lingxiu dumbfounded.
After a moment, under the cover of the night, the corners of Wen Lingxiu's mouth lifted.
She had never seen Lu Xing get anxious before. Before, Lu Xing's emotions were as stable as a robot.
And now...
It seemed Lu Xing was really anxious.
Wen Lingxiu patted the back of Lu Xing's hand and said in a low voice, "Sleep."
"Goodnight, CEO Wen."
Lu Xing's anxiety quickly subsided, and he returned to his previous obedient state.
Wen Lingxiu was a little wistful.
Sigh.
Lu Xing's anxious look was quite cute, but he calmed down too quickly.
Ten-odd minutes later.
Wen Lingxiu felt Lu Xing's breathing become long and steady. She called out softly.
"Xing-xing?"
There was no reply from Lu Xing's side.
He was asleep.
Wen Lingxiu took a deep breath, having done enough mental preparation.
She moved up a little, then carefully slipped her arm behind Lu Xing's neck.
Stop—
A few seconds later, Lu Xing didn't wake up.
Only then did Wen Lingxiu continue with the next step.
She followed Lu Xing's force, let him rest his head on her arm, and then held him in her arms.
Through the dim night light.
Wen Lingxiu let out a long sigh of relief and looked down at Lu Xing, who was being held in her arms.
Lu Xing leaned against her chest like a child, his brow slightly furrowed, his hand resting on her waist.
"Why are you unhappy even in your dreams?"
Wen Lingxiu reached out her hand, gently smoothed Lu Xing's brow, and then tightened her arms.
Lu Xing was in her arms.
This fact made Wen Lingxiu subconsciously want to smile.
"Don't you bite me."
Wen Lingxiu muttered to herself and, after a completely unthreatening warning, began to soothe Lu Xing's emotions, stroking him as if she were stroking a small dog.
Only when Lu Xing had completely softened in her arms did Wen Lingxiu stop.
If the light were a little brighter, one could see the blush on her cheeks and the shyness in her eyes.
"Although we have to say goodbye in June, but..."
Wen Lingxiu, as lightly as if she were touching a fragile object, said in a low voice.
"But I think I may never meet someone as good as you again."
"I'm glad I chose to go to that mall two years ago..."
Parting is common. She was grateful for having met.
Wen Lingxiu chattered on, and finally, she talked herself to sleep, falling into a deep slumber.
A few minutes later.
Lu Xing slowly opened his eyes, his pupils a few shades brighter than the moon outside.
A professional simp's professional quality—always fall asleep one second later than the client.
"CEO Wen?"
Wen Lingxiu did not answer. She was really asleep.
Phew—
Lu Xing let out a sigh of relief, but his nose was filled with softness and fragrance.
He gently leaned against Auntie Wen's chest, his entire upper body held in her arms.
An unprecedented feeling.
"No wonder you've been so abnormal recently."
"So it's because you were thinking you'd never meet someone like me again, so you wanted to cherish the remaining time and have a taste of a romance."
Lu Xing was relieved.
Thankfully, thankfully.
Auntie Wen was still rational. She just wanted to cherish the remaining time and would still let him go!
This is the best!
Lu Xing's hanging heart finally settled down.
He gently leaned against Wen Lingxiu's chest, closed his eyes, and felt a sense of security he had never felt before.
Three seconds.
Just three seconds.
One.
Two.
Three.
Lu Xing opened his eyes, carefully pulled Wen Lingxiu's arm off of him, and then stuffed a pillow into her arms.
Standing by the bed, looking at Auntie Wen hugging the pillow in her arms, Lu Xing said in a low voice.
"Thank you."
Creak.
The door opened and closed.
Lu Xing walked out of the master bedroom and towards the guest bedroom.
He had finished editing Chi Yueshan's video. Starting tomorrow, Chi Yueshan would be too busy to bother him.
And now.
He was going to post the video.
And then study.
Learn, there is no end to learning!
