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

The next day, both of them stayed in bed to varying degrees.

Lu Ci also had to eat breakfast because of his stomach problems, so he woke up at eight o'clock.

Xie Xingran gave himself a complete vacation and slept until 11 o'clock in the morning.

After washing up and going downstairs, Lu Ci had already prepared two dishes and a soup and served them on the table. They looked delicious.

"Eh? You're up?" Seeing that she had arrived so unexpectedly, he teased, "Did you wake up to the aroma of the food I cooked?"

Xie Xingran said truthfully: "No, I was woken up by the birds outside the window."

Lu Ci made a "huh" sound in response to her non-cooperation, but didn't care and invited her:

"Come on, come on, sit down and try my cooking. I think I've made a lot of progress."

They were like an ordinary couple, sitting opposite each other and eating together, and the atmosphere was great.

Xie Xingran didn't hesitate and scooped a bowl of pork rib soup to drink, then picked up the chopsticks to pick up the meat.

The taste is not the best, but it is edible.

It’s pretty good to have made such progress the second time.

Looking at the expectant and nervous expression on the other side, in order not to dampen his enthusiasm, she praised:

"Not bad, you eat it too."

Hearing this, Lu Ci grinned happily and asked uncertainly, "Really?"

Xie Xingran: "You'll know if you try it yourself."

So Lu Ci also picked up a piece of spicy and sour potato shreds with chopsticks, but as soon as he put it in, he couldn't help but want to spit it out.

But looking at the people in front of him eating normally, he immediately swallowed it as if nothing had happened and ate the other two bowls.

Then, he stood up and took the plate of shredded potatoes away, and before taking it away, he asked her seriously:

"I just remembered that this potato seems to have sprouted. Are sprouted potatoes inedible?"

Xie Xingran thought for a moment and nodded: "Well - but I remember," the potatoes in the refrigerator did not sprout.

But before she could react, he turned around and threw the shredded potatoes into the trash can.

After sitting down, he picked up a glass of boiled water and drank it, then said casually:

"Keep eating, two bowls of food are enough for the two of us."

He said this, but there was a completely different voice in his heart.

[Tsk, those shredded potatoes are raw and salty. I didn't mistake sugar for salt... It seems I haven't mastered the heat and dosage well enough. I need more practice.]

Looking at his series of actions, Xie Xingran saw through it but did not say anything.

After all, he had a very clear understanding of himself and didn't need her to say much.

After lunch, Xie Xingran went to wash the dishes, and Lu Ci also sat on the sofa, holding his stomach and drinking brown sugar water.

The two of them chatted with each other.

"Xie Xingran, I'm going to take the driving test in mid-May. Are you really not going to get a driver's license?"

Hearing his words, Xie Xingran kept moving: "I don't want to, it's enough for me to drive an electric car."

He didn't force it, but instead said, "What about fighting and boxing? I think you should learn that."

"Well, I'm looking at clubs and plan to take two classes every weekend."

Unlike him who had been training since childhood, work was now her top priority, so she would not spend a lot of time on training, and it was enough for her to have some basic self-protection skills.

Lu Ci also expressed his understanding and planned: "Two classes a week, and I will teach you again every night and supervise your training for half an hour. That's enough."

Xie Xingran stopped washing the dishes and wanted to politely decline his "kindness".

But when I thought about what happened in the elevator that day, I was instantly frightened and still didn't refuse.

"Okay, thank you," she said.

Lu Ci rarely heard her thank him, so he felt relieved and raised his chin and said in a dramatic tone:

"You're welcome. This is what a teacher should do."

Taking off the apron and walking out of the kitchen, Xie Xingran said calmly:

"Then do I have to prepare a gift for you? Master, father."

He smiled and waved his hand: "Hey, we are all family, why bother with all that nonsense."

Xie Xingran rolled his eyes and prepared to go upstairs to his bedroom to sleep for a while.

But when I glanced out of the corner of my eye, I saw that it suddenly started raining outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Rumble--"

Accompanied by loud thunder, the rustling sound of raindrops hitting the leaves gradually became louder.

There was a thunderstorm and heavy rain.

"Ah! It's raining. It hasn't rained in City A for a month. Today, the God of Thunder and the Goddess of Thunder finally remembered us."

Lu Ci also sighed, turned around and said:

"This weather is perfect for sleeping. How about we take a nap now, Xie Xingran?"

He asked with a secret thought in his mind.

After a while, Xie Xingran was seen staring out the window in a daze, with unspeakable pain in his eyes.

"What's wrong with you?" he asked worriedly.

His rationality returned, Xie Xingran blinked, and the moisture in his eyes disappeared completely, returning to his usual calm and cold expression.

"Nothing, I'm going to take a nap on my side. If you want to sleep, go to bed early."

After saying that, he quickly went upstairs with an expression that clearly showed he didn't want to bother with anyone anymore.

[Doesn't she... like rainy days? ]

Rainy days... Of course I don’t like it, Xie Xingran thought, what she hated most was rainy days.

The heavy rain ten years ago soaked everything, including her sixteen-year-old youth...
