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

"Bang bang bang - bang bang bang -"

The violent knocking on the door sounded like a scene in a horror movie where someone was being chased by ghosts and crying for help.

"Thank you, thank you, Secretary. Thank you, Secretary! Open the door!"

[I'm scared, wow, wow, what a lousy hotel! There's even a power outage! I'm never staying at your place again!]

Lu Ci also stood in the dark corridor, his body trembling slightly, and he kept knocking on the door.

The door of the neighboring room was knocked, but Xie Xingran didn't come to open it.

Because of the power outage, many people came out to check, the corridor became noisy, and gradually the light came on.

Lu Ci's fear was also relieved.

"Secretary Xie? Xie Xingran, Xie Xingran! Are you still in the room?" He continued taking pictures and asked with some concern.

After a moment, the door was opened and Xie Xingran was seen wrapped in a bath towel, his chest exposed and his hair dripping from his forehead.

Knowing that he was afraid of the dark and ghosts, Xie Xingran did not show any impatience when being disturbed. He handed him his mobile phone with the flashlight on and stepped aside to open the door.

"Come in. I was just taking a shower. You can call the front desk and ask when they'll call."

Lu Ci also held the phone, looking at the dimly lit phone, and asked:

"Do you have any other lighting tools? I think the room is still too dark. How about we change hotels?"

Compared to Lu Ciye's timidity, Xie Xingran seemed much calmer. He took a sip of water and said:

"No, it's not easy to change hotels at night. Ask the front desk first. I'll go get dressed."

Seeing that she was about to go to the inner bathroom, Lu Ci immediately started to make a fuss:

"No! Don't leave!"

【Wuwu, don’t leave me alone! 】

As he spoke, Lu Ci had already tightly grasped Xie Xingran's arm and spoke nervously:

"Let's ask the front desk first. I'll help you get dressed. There's only one flashlight, so be careful not to fall."

Xie Xingran had no choice but to accompany him to call the front desk on the landline.

The front desk staff first apologized, then reassured them that the circuit would be repaired in about half an hour and asked them to be patient.

After getting the guarantee, Lu Ci hung up the phone, and the two went to the bathroom.

Lu Ci was also isolated outside. He didn't dare to look at the dark objects around him and just stared at the light of his mobile phone.

Out of fear, he began to talk to himself:

"Actually, there's no need to close the door. It's too formal, isn't it? I don't even know my body. It's just like that. You don't have to be shy. You can open your eyes and take a look..."

Xie Xingran said coldly: "Shut up."

Lu Ci also pursed his lips and stopped talking, but his mind was still busy.

"Why isn't she dressed yet? I might as well go in and dress her. It's my body anyway. That scene is so weird, dressing herself..."

Xie Xingran kept taking deep breaths and trying hard to suppress her temper, otherwise she really wanted to beat him up!

After putting on their pajamas and walking out of the bathroom, they sat on the sofa.

Lu Ci also tugged at the corner of her clothes: "Secretary Xie, do you think there is a ghost in this room?"

Xie Xingran threw the towel he had used to wipe his hair onto the coffee table and replied calmly, "Yes."

This one sentence frightened Lu Ci so much that he became paranoid.

He leaned close to her, looked around, swallowed his saliva and asked, "Where, where?"

Xie Xingran suppressed his laughter and glanced at him, "Isn't it just you? Cowardly and cowardly."

Lu Ci also paused, then reacted and got angry... got angry.

"Hmph, I won't argue with you. I know you're scared too. You don't have to pretend. I understand."

Xie Xingran rolled his eyes, too lazy to argue with a coward, and gave a pertinent suggestion: "If you are really scared, why not listen to some music."

"That's fine." Lu Ci's eyes lit up and he immediately opened the music app.

After a while, the cell phone suddenly rang loudly, and a familiar song with a strong aura sounded.

"The five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind

How loud the victory song is

Sing our dear motherland

From now on, we will be prosperous and strong..."

The volume of the cell phone was turned up to the maximum, and Lu Ci sang clearly and passionately word by word.

It seemed that in this way, the dear motherland could help him dispel the fear in his heart.

Xie Xingran couldn't help laughing for some reason.

Seeing her smile, Lu Ci turned his head proudly and continued singing his own song.

As one song ended, the next one followed, and the room was filled with various military songs.

It wasn't until someone knocked on the door and said they were too noisy that Lu Ci reluctantly lowered his voice.

Half an hour later, the hotel called and Xie Xingran started to drive people away: "You can go back now."

Lu Ci also licked his lips and said hesitantly: "What if the power goes out again later?

Xie Xingran had already gone to bed and was ready to sleep. Hearing this, he said perfunctorily:

"No, go back and take a shower and go to bed. You have to get up early tomorrow."

"What if?" Lu Ci was now completely afraid to stay alone, and said hesitantly: "I, I want to sleep on the floor in your room, is that okay?"

Xie Xingran lay flat on the bed, closed his eyes peacefully, and firmly refused: "No."

She didn't want to listen to his nagging, and she couldn't turn off the lights to sleep. Just thinking about it was torture.

After his plea was rejected, Lu Ci also jumped onto her bed, kneeling beside her and acting like a spoiled child:

"Thank you, Secretary~ Thank you, Secretary~ Just agree to it. We're not sleeping on the same bed, so sleeping on the floor won't take up much of your space. Besides, I'm very quiet and won't disturb you."

Annoyed by the noise, Xie Xingran shook off his hand and compromised: "Whatever you want, get out if you keep making noise."

Lu Ci's plan succeeded, and he happily returned to his room and brought back a quilt.

In May, the weather has warmed up and you won’t feel cold even without a blanket.

Lu Ci took a shower in her room, and while blowing his hair, he shook his sore arms with a resentful look in his eyes.

[Oh, her hair is so thick and hard to blow dry. It takes me more than half an hour every time.]

If I cut her hair short, I wonder if Secretary Xie would be angry?

[Oh, my hands are so sore. I really don't want to blow-dry my hair anymore. But if I sleep with wet hair, and Secretary Xie gets rheumatism in her old age, I'll be guilty.]

Xie Xingran, who couldn't sleep because of the noise: "..."

She got out of bed, grabbed the hair dryer without saying a word, and quickly and hastily dried her hair.

Lu Ci was also stunned. He didn't dare to move and let her play with his hair.

ten minutes later,

Xie Xingran: "Okay, go to sleep, don't make any more noise."

"Oh." Lu Ci's mouth curled up slightly, thinking:

[She's quite considerate. If I don't change it back tomorrow, I'll just ask her to blow-dry my hair from now on. It's her hair anyway.]

Xie Xingran: ...Well, I got myself a job for some unknown reason.

……

In the middle of the night, the moon and stars are sparse.

Lu Ci was also woken up by the urge to urinate. He got up in a daze, and even bumping into his knee while walking around the bed didn't wake him up.

Going to the restroom, he fumbled around for a long time out of habit, then muttered strangely, "Huh? Where's my brother?"

After saying that, he realized it belatedly and said, "Oh, yes, my brother went to her place."

After finally coming out of the bathroom, I didn't think much about it and just lay down on the bed.

Because he usually slept with his giant panda stuffed animal in his arms, Lu Ci mistook Xie Xingran for a pillow and hugged him like an octopus.

Xie Xingran, who was sound asleep, had no idea that he had been taken advantage of...
