It's terrible. Mr. Lu is too clingy.

After getting off the car and searching for ten minutes, she finally found Lu Ciye by a flower bed when she was returning. Her poor vision made her not see the person on the roadside when she got off the car.

At that time, he was holding a branch in his hand and squatting on the ground, drawing circles.

I kept repeating one sentence in my mind and mouth:

[It's been so long, and my wife still hasn't come to see me... Humph? (?`^′?)? I'm drawing a circle to curse you, and I curse my wife, who loves me to death and can't leave me.]

Xie Xingran: ...

What kind of curse is this? Love-brained.

You are such a grown-up, but you still play such childish tricks. What’s the difference between you and a big fool?

She walked over with an umbrella and kicked him in the butt:

"Get up. It's so sunny, aren't you afraid of getting sunburned?"

Even with an umbrella, she felt like she was going to be sunburned during the ten minutes she spent searching.

"I've been frozen into an ice cube by your cold violence. I need to thaw out in the sun. Please leave me alone."

He grumbled, leaning to the side and pretending to be hurt by her.

In reality: [Wow, my wife finally came to see me. If she hadn't come soon, I would have been dried into a raisin.]

Xie Xingran was successfully amused and laughed out loud, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little.

"Sunbathing is so slow, get up, I'll cast a spell on you and you'll be thawed immediately."

Lu Ci also raised the corner of his mouth and stood up reluctantly.

As he stood up, Xie Xingran was completely wrapped in his shadow.

It’s not wrong to say that he is a big fool.

Ever since he got his body back, Xie Xingran's gaze on him changed from this to this.

Lu Ciye is 188cm tall. If it weren't for her strong aura, she would have looked like a little bird in front of him.

"Aren't you going to cast a spell? Hurry up, I'm freezing to death."

Lu Ci also bit his lip, wanting to look at her but not wanting to, with an awkward attitude of being full of expectations but afraid that she would notice.

So pretentious and cute.

"Here." She handed him the umbrella and said, "Squat down a bit."

Lu Ci couldn't suppress the smile, so he obeyed and pretended to be disgusted: "There are so many things to do, hurry up."

Xie Xingran smiled and raised his hands to touch his face.

The next second, the corners of her mouth sank, and she pulled hard on the corners of his raised lips, pulling them left and right.

"Lu Ciye, I think you deserve to be punished. Do you know that I've been looking for you everywhere?"

Who would have thought that this guy was right next to the flower bed, causing her to walk for such a long time.

"Ugh...Wife...it hurts~" He was ravaged to the point of being unable to speak clearly, but he did not resist because he was actually extremely happy in his heart.

[My wife still cares about me.]

After rubbing, Xie Xingran grabbed the umbrella, turned around and left without looking back.

Lu Ci also rubbed his face, followed her happily, and ran to stand next to her under the umbrella:

"Honey, is the magic done? But I'm not completely thawed yet. How about trying a different kind of magic, like ferrying fairy air into my mouth~"

Xie Xingran said indifferently: "Do you believe I can freeze you into ice again?"

Lu Ci also made a heart shape towards her and started to say sweet words:

"I don't believe it, because my heart is always burning for my wife. Even if you freeze me into ice, I can melt it in a minute."

"...slippery," she commented, but the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up.

Lu Ciye: "No way, I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, feel it and see if it's hot."

Xie Xingran touched it for two seconds and pulled his hand back: "If the heart is not warm, how could it be cold?"

Lu Ci also pouted: "My wife's heart is cold."

Xie Xingran did not refute.

If you refute me, he will definitely say: I don’t believe it unless I touch it.

Oh, she won't be fooled.

The person who failed to succeed was not discouraged. After getting in the car, he kindly offered to rub her back.

Xie Xingran refused, saying that the wound had already scabbed over and a little sweating was no big deal, as long as he didn't jump too hard.

But Lu Ci refused to agree: "How can that be? It's all my fault. My wife has been out looking for me for so long. It's only right that I help her wipe her back."

After he got it back, he became less and less willing to hide his dirty mind, and all his thoughts were exposed.

In the end, they couldn't resist his insistence on acting coquettishly, so after raising the tailgate, the two people in the back seat started to make trouble again.

In order to avoid touching her back, Lu Ci also let her sit on his legs...

—

It was already late when they arrived at Qiaoba Village, and they walked into the yard in the moonlight.

I simply cooked noodles on the induction cooker for dinner.

They sat in the empty courtyard with their bowls in hand.

The night sky is dotted with stars, forming a Milky Way, and the half-moon is spotless.

The symphony of crickets, grasshoppers and frogs makes the night even more quiet.

Lu Ci also ate two big bowls by himself, and after that he sighed that he had not eaten so much food for a long time.

Xie Xingran felt a long-lost sense of peace.

It feels like the warmth of a couple living together in an ancient farmyard.

After eating, Lu Ci also went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Xie Xingran tied the apron for him personally, and then stood by and watched. Mainly, he didn't allow her to do it.

The light in the kitchen was dim, but it couldn't block out the light emanating from him. He was like a saint, and all that could be heard was his chattering.

"Honey, let's go buy some light bulbs tomorrow. Many of the lights at home are too dim."

Xie Xingran: "Can you change a light bulb?"

Before, she and her sister Ayan didn’t know how to change light bulbs, and they didn’t come here often, at most twice a year, so the lights in the house hadn’t been changed for almost ten years.

Lu Ci also said proudly: "Of course, it's just changing a light bulb, no problem. I can fix pipes and circuits too."

Xie Xingran curled his lips and said, "Okay, if there's no water or electricity at home, I'll trouble you, Master."

Lu Ci also felt needed, and immediately straightened his chest and said in a cheerful tone: "It's a small matter."

"Okay, wash it quickly." She patted his arm and handed him a colander.

Since we haven't lived here for a long time, the furniture needs to be cleaned.

His erect chest bent down in an instant, and Lu Ci continued to work grunting, his palms almost sparking.

After cleaning the furniture, I boiled water for a bath.

Xie Xingran has a bathtub that she has used since she was a child. It was made for her by her grandmother out of wood and has been gathering dust in the corner for a long time.

But Lu Ci's eyes also lit up when he looked at the bathtub.

Xie Xingran knew what this old rogue was thinking without having to guess.

Lu Ciye: "Wife, let's take a bath in this tub from now on, shall we?"

Xie Xingran tried hard not to blush and glared at him: "This bucket is so small, you..."

"But it's more than enough for one person to take a shower. Honey, you don't think I want to take a shower with you, right? I said I want to take a shower in there too, but I didn't say I want to take a shower with you."

Seeing the obvious smirk in his eyes, she paused, then kicked him angrily: "That's not allowed either."

Lu Ci also hugged his feet and pretended to cry out in pain: "Hiss, my wife, you are so cruel."

[Hey, this bathtub is a little small. I'll buy a bigger one someday.]

Hearing his inner voice, Xie Xingran kicked him again angrily: "Get out, I'll wash first."

Ever since she was injured, Lu Ci had been cleaning her body, but this time, no matter what he said, Xie Xingran firmly refused him.

These basic self-care skills do not require his help at all.

Finally, Lu Ci reluctantly left the bathroom.

It is called a bathroom, but it is actually a separate small room, enclosed on all sides with no windows.

After taking a shower, Xie Xingran came out wearing thin long clothes and trousers.

In the yard, Lu Ci also sat quietly on a bench. He held the bench upright so that he could lean his hands back to look up at the starry sky.

Looking from her direction, his profile was well-defined, his nose was high, his black hair was fluffy and thick, with a small tuft lifted up by the breeze, and his posture looked somewhat unruly and free and easy.

Lu Ci noticed her figure out of the corner of his eye, turned his head, raised the corners of his mouth towards her, and his eyes almost curved into crescents.

"Honey, are you done washing?"

Xie Xingran's heart softened. He hummed softly, walked over, and smoothed down the small tuft of his hair.

Lu Ci took the opportunity to put his arms around her waist and lay in front of her like a child.

The bench was already quite high, and considering Lu Ci's height, this hug and lie-down move could be considered a gangster move.

Xie Xingran's ears suddenly turned red, but she forced herself to remain calm and pushed his head away, "Go take a shower."
