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

After returning home, Lu Ci picked up the backpack that he had prepared long ago and went into the mountains to visit the grave again with Xie Xingran.

Considering Lu Ciye's foot injury, Xie Xingran didn't want him to come with him.

But Lu Ci insisted and even jumped twice to prove that he was really fine.

Xie Xingran had no choice but to let him follow her. Halfway through, she was very glad that he followed her.

It had rained before and the road was muddy, so it was a bit slippery.

With his help, Xie Xingran arrived at the cemetery safely.

This time she didn't say much. She calmly burned paper and incense for them, and specially burned two more stacks of paper to thank her mother.

Xie Xingran accidentally fell while going down the mountain.

She didn't know if she was hurt from the fall or what, but she was stunned for two seconds, and then her eyes became wet.

"What's wrong? Where did you fall?" Lu Ci also quickly squatted beside her to check.

Xie Xingran didn't answer, blinking to hold back the tears, but as soon as he raised his eyes slightly, tears began to fall, and the more he cried, the harder it became to hold back.

How could it be possible that those words really had no effect on her?

She herself felt that she was a disaster.

Otherwise, why was she alive and well while they all left?

Why is she the only one still alive?

Is it really her fault...

"Don't cry, don't cry. It's my fault. Where did you fall? Honey, say something." Lu Ci was so anxious that he almost bit his tongue.

"Lu Ciye..." she shouted.

Lu Ci also quickly responded to her: "Here I am, what's wrong, honey?"

Xie Xingran looked away, his mind empty: "Maybe I really am a disaster star..."

"Nonsense!" Lu Ci refuted seriously: "Xie Xingran, you believe those people's nonsense? Then why don't you believe me when I say you are the God of Luck and the Lucky Star?"

Xie Xingran sniffed and stopped talking.

Seeing her like this, Lu Ci suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart, and he grabbed her hand.

"Get up and go! Go to the hospital."

Xie Xingran staggered a bit and was dragged by him to follow behind him. Fortunately, the ground was flat along the way and he would hardly fall again.

She: "I didn't fall there, no need to go to the hospital."

Lu Ci also scoffed: "Didn't you fall? I think your brain is seriously injured. I must take you to the hospital today to cleanse your brain and get rid of all those messed up thoughts."

Xie Xingran: ...

Lu Ci was also really angry.

He had just denounced those foolish people just to protect her, but he never expected that the people he was protecting would also become foolish.

How could he not be angry at the feeling of being backstabbed?

"What I said before was a joke!" He was still angry and said:

"If I had known you thought the same, why would I have spoken up for you? Just let them talk. Next time, no one will care even if you talk to the sky. Do you really have a brain?!"

He spoke in a very fierce tone and walked very fast, completely ignoring her stumbling steps.

Xie Xingran could barely keep up with him, silently enduring his ridicule, but his eyes were getting redder and redder.

This time the tears were like a flood that had been released from a dam, falling without any warning and completely unstoppable.

After talking for a long time and no one responded, Lu Ci turned around with a glare.

But when I saw her tearful little face, all the words in my throat turned into smoke and were blown away by the wind.

He resisted the urge to comfort her immediately. After a while, he stammered:

"You, why are you crying? I said you're still here, but am I wrong? Take a look at your thoughts and see if they are correct."

After she finished speaking, she saw the tears streaming down her face even more violently.

Suddenly, the pain and panic in his heart could no longer be contained. Lu Ci held her face in his hands and wiped her tears with his fingertips.

"Don't cry, don't cry. I was wrong, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that to my wife. I deserve to die." His face was full of heartache.

"I'm sorry, honey. I shouldn't have mocked you. No, it's not a mockery. I just, I'm just disappointed in you, you know?"

Xie Xingran stared at him with tears in his eyes and said aggrievedly:

"You're mean to me, and you even say I'm not smart."

Lu Ci also held her hand and slapped it on his face, with two slapping sounds.

"You were too fierce and scared your wife, didn't you? It's my fault. My brain is not working well. Let's go to the hospital together later."

Xie Xingran lowered her eyes and curled her lips. Wasn't he still saying that she was not smart?

Noticing her pout, Lu Ci poked her cheek, which had become soft after being nurtured for nearly a month, and said, "What? I told you you're not smart, but you're not convinced?"

Who wants to be called stupid?

Oh, there was one right in front of her, or he said it himself.

Xie Xingran didn't say anything, and Lu Ci knew that he must be talking about him in his heart.

He bent down and ruffled her hair, his tone helpless and doting:

"Wife, in my heart you are the most powerful, beautiful and kind person. If others slander you and look down on you, you can ignore them. I am here and I will scold them back for you.

But you can't look down on yourself because of this, and you can't agree with their ideas.

You should just stand there and laugh at their stupidity instead of doubting yourself, okay? Huh?

Xie Xingran's heart was pounding wildly.

Especially when his eyes were only on her and he was only looking at her seriously, her uncontrollable heartbeat almost jumped out of her chest.

Seeing that she was staring at him blankly, Lu Ci chuckled proudly.

He raised his hand and gently touched her hair at the temples, saying:

"Do you feel like you're about to grow a new brain? For example, a love brain that's filled with my Lu Ciye?"

Xie Xingran was amused by him and nudged him: "Narcissist."

Lu Ci also held her hand, interlocking their fingers and holding it tightly: "My dear wife, will you forgive me?"

She pursed her lips and said, "It's not that I forgive you. I was wrong. You were right to teach me a lesson... but your tone was too harsh."

Lu Ci also corrected himself immediately and said, "I have received criticism and I will never be mean to my wife again. If I am mean to my wife again, just slap me and I promise not to fight back."

"Okay." Xie Xingran nodded proudly, then smiled: "Okay, let's go home and pack our bags. I should go back to see grandma the day after tomorrow."

Lu Ci also took her hand and walked forward, "Let's go, we can talk about the luggage tomorrow, think about what you want to eat tonight first."

Xie Xingran thought about it carefully and said, "I can't eat much, so I'll just have braised pork, shredded potatoes, cabbage vermicelli noodles, and egg soup."

Lu Ci also waved his hand: "No problem."

His arrogant and proud look made her laugh. Lu Ci also said that he was her personal chef and only served her.

But Xie Xingran thought that she couldn't let her grandmother and the others raise such a bad boy in vain, so after her reminder, Lu Ci changed his mind.

When he returned this time, many people were waiting for him to show off his skills and wanted to taste his cooking.

—

Xie Xingran wanted to spend today as a normal day.

Lu Ci really didn't prepare any fancy gifts or surprises.

But last night I worked continuously until 2 or 3 in the morning, and when I was drowsy,

She seemed to hear a very soft voice:

Happy birthday baby.

I don't know if she heard it wrong.

While she was wondering whether it was true or not, Lu Ci, who was cooking, started playing music as usual.

It just happened to be the English song with a strong rhythm that I had played countless times in my ears last night...
