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

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and after the heavy rain, a drizzle continued.

There was already a hint of coolness permeating the air.

But Xie Xingran sat motionless in front of the window, looking at the flowers in the garden below, wondering what he was thinking.

[Should I knock on the door? What if she's already asleep? Wouldn't it be disturbing if I knock?]

[But the look in her eyes just now was really sad...]

Hearing this voice, Xie Xingran's eyelashes moved, and soon returned to silence, still without saying a word.

My mom can be comforted by a bag when she's unhappy, but these days I've noticed her luggage doesn't have many luxury items, so buying a bag to appease her probably won't do much.

Lu Ci also stood outside the door, frowning and thinking hard.

After a moment, he looked up and opened his mouth, looking as if he had suddenly understood.

[As long as they are not allergic to pollen, girls will definitely like flowers, and there are plenty of them in the garden.]

[But what kind of flowers does she like...]

The voice in his heart gradually faded away, and the person outside the door left. Xie Xingran wondered doubtfully, was he really going to pick flowers?

It was raining outside, but he wasn't afraid of getting wet and catching a cold.

Sure enough, in less than two minutes, a pretty figure holding an umbrella appeared in the garden.

Within ten meters, she heard his mumbling voice again.

[Wow, I didn’t notice it before. I didn’t expect there are so many colorful flowers here.

Grandma is really thoughtful. She gives a villa like this to every grandson when he gets married, just to please his grandson's wife, right?

I love all of these flowers. Clusters of them are so vibrant and beautiful. Flowers should be paired with beautiful women!

[I don't know what her favorite flower is, so I'll pick one of each.]

[Hmm~ I'm a flower thief, I'm very good at picking flowers. I want to pick all the flowers in the garden, picking roses and thorns. The flowers are like fire. Oh, my little fingers, they are changing...]

Xie Xingran couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and chuckled.

It seems like he is always so happy no matter what time it is.

Listening to his cheerful singing, her mood also became cheerful, like a drop of water falling into calm water, ripples of joy spread in her heart.

After picking one flower of each variety, Lu Ci tied them up with a ribbon. Because one hand was not big enough, he could only hold the flower in his arms and turned around to walk back.

He walked briskly and hummed a song he had arranged on a whim.

Inexplicably, Xie Xingran called him

——"Lu Ci."

"Ah?" Lu Ci also looked up and followed the source of the voice to see Xie Xingran standing at the window.

A smile more beautiful than flowers immediately bloomed on the corners of his lips, and he freed one hand to wave at her.

"Xie Xingran, look!" He raised his hand, and the raindrops on the petals shook and slid down with his movement.

Against the backdrop of flowers, he looked even more charming and attractive.

"Hehe, this is a gift for you. Do you like it?" he asked a little embarrassedly.

Xie Xingran thought back to a long time ago, when in spring, the hills were full of wild flowers and her brother would often pick a bunch for her.

Although most of the time she had to beg for it, her brother never refused to pick it for her.

It rained a little once on the way. When she found her brother with an umbrella, she saw that her brother, who was soaked all over, was still picking flowers for her and walking slowly.

She walked up to him and called him an idiot for not going home quickly when it was raining.

But her brother just glanced at her and said, "You must not disobey your promise to pick flowers for the young lady."

She chuckled, but felt a little guilty.

So she comforted him by saying that she would pick a bunch of wild flowers for him next spring.

Her brother said he didn't want it and didn't like it.

She thought about it and changed her mind, "Then when you have a girlfriend in the future, can you lend her a gift to your sister-in-law?"

Her brother raised an eyebrow and said that was fine.

Later, my sister-in-law got pregnant, but her brother didn't live to see the next spring, leaving only a head full of wild flowers...

Memories are always beautiful, so regrets are always filled with reluctance.

"Do you not like it?"

Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, Lu Ci lowered his eyes in disappointment, like a depressed puppy who didn't get the recognition of his owner.

His thoughts returned to him, and looking at the people below with flowers in their arms, Xie Xingran smiled faintly.

"I like it, Lu Ciye, thank you, I like it very much."

When the puppy heard the word "like", his eyes lit up again and he smiled happily.

"Then come downstairs and we'll go to the living room and trim these flowers to decorate the house."

Xie Xingran curled his lips and said, "Okay."

In the living room, Lu Ci also changed his clothes. Because he had been caught in the rain, his period started to stir again and he wanted to rebel.

He sat cross-legged on the sofa, applying a hot water bottle to his stomach feeling uncomfortable.

Xie Xingran also sat aside, holding a pair of scissors, trimming the flowers on the coffee table according to his own preferences.

Outside the house, it started to rain heavily again and there were bursts of thunder, but inside the house it was extremely quiet and peaceful.

The two of them are extremely compatible in terms of aura and appearance.

Lu Ci didn't ask her why she was unhappy before.

Maybe she was thinking of something from the past, maybe it was related to her relatives, or maybe it was related to her childhood sweetheart and ex-boyfriend.

He knew she wouldn't tell him because their relationship wasn't at that stage yet.

But he thought that one day he would know, when she told him in person.

[Humph, if I can't be her first honest man, then I'll be her second!]

Xie Xingran: ...

Do you think she's a mistress? She's the second one.

The first man who was honest with me was not any better.

Although she and Jiang Ci Yang were childhood sweethearts, they were not very close before because of his mother and her brother.

After reuniting with him, she didn't show any sadness at all.

Deeply afraid of the consequences of the broken window effect, she brushed aside the past without much explanation or sadness.

I was embarrassed and hesitant under his gentle comfort at first, but I was extremely relieved when I caught him cheating.

Looking at the man in front of her, she thought that she might not be able to be honest with him.

Even though she could hear his thoughts, knew what kind of person he was, and had control over his body.

The social experience of these years has taught her that there is no one in the world who is absolutely trustworthy, except herself.

She didn't know whether this idea would change in the future, but at least for now, she had not let it go.

"I want to go bungee jumping at Lingshui Tower tomorrow. Do you want to go?" she asked casually, then suggested: "You just got your period, you should..."

"No! Of course I want to go too!" Lu Ci rejected her suggestion outright, "Don't even think about leaving me to play alone."

[I'm afraid of heights, but I can just close my eyes.]

Xie Xingran shrugged: "Then let's go together."

Lu Ci also picked up his phone and took a look. "But there will be heavy rain tomorrow, so it's better not to go out easily. The scenic spots may not be open."

Hearing this, Xie Xingran realized that it was still raining outside.

"Let's see if it rains tomorrow. Weather forecasts are sometimes inaccurate." She didn't want to give up.

Although he didn't understand why she suddenly wanted to go bungee jumping, Lu Ci still agreed and said, "Okay."
