When Jiang Qiu was asking questions, he felt his eyelids drooping. He said he could sleep and immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Lu Ce: “…”

There was nothing I could do but cover her with the quilt and let her sleep.

But he still had a lot of problems in his heart, so he got up in the middle of the night to write a letter, planning to find an opportunity to hand it over to his father's subordinates who he once trusted, hoping to help in any way he could.

No matter how the upper class changes, the poor people are always the ones who suffer. Military service and increased taxes are the things that are most likely to crush a family. Lu Ce looked at the letters one after another, feeling a sense of powerlessness. He went outside the yard, looked up and gazed into the distance, looking lonely and heavy.

His eyes revealed a hint of fatigue and disappointment, as if he had experienced an unspeakable ordeal.

He felt a little resentful that his father did not choose to rebel, which put the whole family into a passive situation. However, during this period of time, seeing how the lower-class people lived, he understood his father's hesitation.

One will be a million bones.

Lu Ce turned back into the house and lay back on the bed.

Jiang Qiu, who was sleeping on the inside, suddenly came close and hugged his arm tightly. Lu Ce paused. Their arms had always been in contact in the past, but today, that arm didn't seem to belong to him. It was burning hot, and his skin felt numb and itchy. Lu Ce immediately shrank his shoulders and pulled his arm back.

He is not her good friend anymore.

It's her suitor.

Can't take advantage.

After a moment, Lu Ce felt deeply regretful again. If he had known earlier, he would not have realized his feelings for her for the time being.

Seeing a gentle smile on the sleeping face, it seemed that he had fallen into a sweet dream. Just as he was about to fall asleep, Jiang Qiu's lips trembled slightly, "Li Hongnian..."

Lu Ce suddenly opened his eyes and saw her peaceful smile. He laughed out of anger, tightly grasped the quilt, then suddenly stood up and glared at Jiang Qiu.

With his brows furrowed and his hands clenched into fists, he tried to remain calm, but the fire burning in his heart made him furious and unable to hide his emotions.

Why should he like her!

A philandering woman!

Very bad!

"Jiang Qiu!"

he shouted.

No response.

Lu Ce was so angry that he felt like he didn't like Jiang Qiu at all! !

"Jiang Qiu!!"

Her tone became heavier, and Jiang Qiu finally woke up. It was dark in front of her eyes, and she couldn't see clearly: "Lu Ce? What's wrong? Are you in danger?"

"You were just dreaming, and you kept talking in your sleep!"

It's impossible to expect him to be magnanimous enough to let Jiang Qiu continue to do improper things with Li Hongnian in his dream!

Jiang Qiu said "Ah" and scratched his face: "Really? I rarely talk in my sleep. Sorry for disturbing you."

Lu Ce suddenly felt that he had gone too far, and his voice slowed down: "It's okay, tell me, what did you dream about?"

"Hehe, I dreamed that I became rich, and I went out to explore the world with Li Hongnian. We made a lot of money together..."

Lu Ce: "Dreams are all fake."

Jiang Qiu was used to being angry. "Yes, yes, it's all fake. Come to bed. Aren't you sleepy?"

"I finally fell asleep, but you woke me up."

"You have insomnia?" Jiang Qiu was surprised. Her sleep quality was as bad as a pig's. She had no idea what Lu Ce's sleep quality was like.

Lu Ce's eyes flickered slightly, and his voice was a little low: "It has been like this since I left the capital."

"Ah, this..."

Jiang Qiu instantly felt that he was very pitiful, "Don't just stand there, lie down quickly."

Lu Ce lay down obediently.

Jiang Qiu propped up his upper body and sat up, crossing his legs and said, "Let me tell you a story, and you should go to sleep soon."

"...Yeah." Lu Ce closed his eyes, feeling a warm sunshine in his heart.

Jiang Qiu didn't want to instill any ideas in him, she just told him the childish stories her parents had told her.

When these words fell into Lu Ce's ears, they gradually calmed his inner anxiety.

Jiang Qiu said three sentences in a row and called out softly, "Lu Ce, are you asleep?"

He didn't respond, so Jiang Qiu slowly lay down.

I can't help but feel sorry for him. He has been through so much at such a young age, and now he looks like nothing happened, but deep down he must still be concerned.

Just as Jiang Qiu was lying quietly in the brocade quilt and about to fall asleep, a hand gently went around her waist and held her in his arms. His breathing was even and deep. Judging from his body shape, Jiang Qiu did not need to panic to know that it was Lu Ce who was fast asleep.

This kid has a very uneasy sleeping posture.

Jiang Qiu tried to gently break free from that arm, but didn't want to wake him up, so he fled very slowly.

no way.

She is panicking!

Now Lu Ce was hugging her unconsciously, like a doll, but she had a criminal record. If Lu Ce turned the tables on her tomorrow, she would really have no evidence to prove her innocence!

But her escape made Lu Ce hold him tighter, and Jiang Qiu could only use a little more force.

The night outside the window was as dark as ink, with occasional sounds of dogs barking from afar.

Jiang Qiu was tired, really.

He is too strong, that is all he can do.

Jiang Qiu fanned herself in the face and finally chose to let it go. If Lu Ce dared to accuse her of being an indecent person tomorrow, she would slap him to death!!!

Lying in Lu Ce's arms, Jiang Qiu was about to think about why she was so indifferent lying in a man's arms. Is she asexual?

Before she could think for two seconds, she felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.

In the early morning light, Lu Ce was the first to open his eyes. He slept very late last night, but had a good sleep. In front of him was a familiar face, lying quietly in his arms.

Lu Ce's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Did she touch him last night?

can you?

He always sleeps in a very peaceful position and doesn't move around, so it's likely that this was the position Jiang Qiu put him in.

She had been a pervert before, liking to touch him here and there.

Lu Ce's lips curled up slightly, his heart was beating fast, and a trace of tenderness spread in his heart.

also.

Just hold it.

It will be cold tomorrow, but this is warm.

Suddenly, her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was about to wake up from her dream. He immediately closed his eyes and held his breath, not daring to move, for fear of disturbing the tranquility of the moment.

Jiang Qiu opened his eyes, saw the enlarged handsome face, and observed it carefully.

Lu Ce's heart had already been beating like a drum, with a mixture of nervousness, apprehension, anticipation, and other emotions, and he felt a pain on his face.

"Lu Ce, wake up quickly. It was you who hugged me last night, not me." Jiang Qiu said.

Lu Ce opened his eyes, reluctantly let go of his hand, and retorted: "How could I do such a thing?"

Jiang Qiu laughed in anger. She knew Lu Ce would not admit it, so she pinched his neck and threatened: "It's you, did you hear me?"

Lu Ce raised his hands in surrender: "It's me."

"Huh, it was you."

Jiang Qiu felt a little helpless.

Once you misstep, you will regret it forever.

She really shouldn't have been so naughty as to take advantage of others. Now everything is her fault.
