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

Lu Ci also stared at her with a pout, "Do I disgust you so much? It's even escalating to mental pain."

Seeing the grievance that was almost overflowing from his eyes, Xie Xingran couldn't continue speaking.

"It's not that I hate it..."

Seeing that there was room for maneuver, Lu Ci also took her hand and took advantage of the situation to act coquettishly:

"If you don't mind, then why don't you sleep with me? You know I've never had a bedstead since I was a child. I've been sleeping alone since I was six years old. I'm also very afraid of ghosts. Now that I'm finally married and have a partner, why don't we keep each other company?"

Xie Xingran looked at him blinking eyes, really confused.

How could he, a man, be more coquettish than her, a woman, and act so confidently and shamelessly.

Seeing that she didn't speak again, Lu Ci also raised his hand and swore:

"I promise that I'll just sleep under the covers for the whole year and won't do anything that crosses the line... I just want a bed, so please fulfill this small wish of mine."

The scales in my heart began to waver again.

He has begged her like this, so if she refuses him, wouldn't that be a bit cold and heartless?

While hesitating, Lu Ci also covered his stomach and suddenly fell into her arms.

"It hurts so much, Xie Xingran, wuwuwu, it really hurts, please have mercy on me..."

Xie Xingran looked up at the sky speechlessly.

I really lost to this spoiled freak with no bottom line.

"Lu Ciye, do you know what I want to find most to give you right now?"

"Ah?" Unable to follow her thoughts, Lu Ci looked up in confusion and was stunned for two seconds.

In line with the principle of flattery, he said:

"I was born with everything I need, but if you give me something, even if it's a piece of shit, I will definitely keep it."

Xie Xingran pushed him away with a look of disgust: "Lu Ciye, you are so disgusting."

He might not dare to send her off even if he dared to pick her up.

Lu Ci also looked at her with a hurt expression: "I'm doing this for your sake. Do you think I'm happy to receive shit?"

"It's a mute potion!" she said firmly, "If I had the ability, I would definitely find the best mute potion in the world and give it to you, a chatterbox."

When someone heard this, he was so angry that he seemed to have been poisoned and silenced. He stopped talking and just glared at her angrily.

[That's right! I'm just a little more cheerful and sunny, and she wants me to be mute. If...if my little brother were a little older, wouldn't she want to send me to be a eunuch?!]

"Pfft-cough cough cough."

Xie Xingran spit the water he had just drunk onto the coffee table in front of him, his face red as if blood was about to drip out.

This guy! He's totally outspoken!!

"What are you doing? You splashed all over me." Lu Ci also moved away a little with a look of disgust.

"I choked accidentally." Xie Xingran pretended to be calm and wiped his mouth with a tissue.

After calming down, she finally said, "You can have me be your bedstead, but I have one condition."

Lu Ci's eyes lit up, "You say."

"After I go to bed, if you don't want to sleep, go to the study. If you want to sleep, you must fall asleep within ten minutes. You are not allowed to talk or think about other things."

Lu Ci also curled his lips in grievance: "I'm not that noisy, am I? I'm always quiet when you sleep."

But your inner voice must be restless and quiet.

In fact, it made no difference to her whether he was mute or not. It would be better for her to be deaf herself.

Under her silent gaze, Lu Ci quickly agreed.

After thinking about it, I felt that this request was like nothing to him. After all:

"If I don't say anything and pretend to be asleep, how can she know I'm awake? And she even tells me not to think about other things, hum~"

Xie Xingran coldly broke his fantasy:

"I can tell if someone is truly asleep by their breathing rate, so, Lu Ciye, you'd better fall asleep within ten minutes, otherwise we'll have to sleep in separate beds."

Lu Ci opened his mouth in disbelief and had to accept his fate.

"By the way," he asked with interest, "where did you learn this? Please teach me."

"No." Xie Xingran stood up, too lazy to pay attention to him. He still had to move his luggage back.

Lu Ci also put on slippers and chased after him.

"Hey, just teach me. I promise I won't use it against you."

"……Shut up."
