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

"I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing. It's all my fault. I can't spit out ivory from my stinky mouth."

Lu Ci also raised his hand and hit his mouth a few times, neither lightly nor heavily, with a look of guilt on his face.

Seeing her crying so pitifully with her face, like an abandoned puppy, I felt helpless and distressed.

I wish I could hold her in my arms and rock her like a child.

He gently wiped the tears from her cheeks with his fingertips.

Under the influence of alcohol, Xie Xingran recalled the nightmarish rainy day ten years ago, with self-loathing and pain struggling in his eyes.

My tear glands couldn't be controlled and tears kept flowing out.

"I just hate it. I hate rainy days. I hate rainy days..."

Seeing her sobbing, Lu Ci patted her on the back and said something jokingly:

"Okay, okay, I hate it too! Wait until I fly up to the sky and help you knock out the Thunder God and Thunder Goddess so that it won't rain anymore, okay? Don't cry, ancestor."

Under his gentle coaxing, Xie Xingran could hardly tell whether it was reality or a dream.

Is it my brother?

Is the person in front of her her cocky yet doting brother?

Xie Xingran's eyes were blurred with tears and his head was dizzy. He believed it and stopped crying.

She choked out a "OK", then said with a worried look:

"Then be careful not to get struck by lightning, brother."

Lu Ciye: ...

I really have a younger sister for no reason.

Is she drunk and missing her brother? But is there any connection between her dislike of rainy days and her brother?

In a flash, he seemed to have figured something out, and looked at the person on the bed with tears still on his face with pity.

Judging from the photo album, the relationship between the brother and sister must have been very good in the past.

It's a pity that he didn't get to see the brother-in-law in person who looked so high-spirited in the photo.

Lu Ci also had mixed feelings. After a moment, he held her face in his hands.

"Xie Xingran, please don't take advantage of me. I'm younger than you and haven't even called you sister yet, but you're already calling me brother...

If I really had that ability, why would I be a CEO? I would just be a hero saving the world!"

After saying these lofty words, he stared at her red eyes and nose from crying, and felt as if someone was grabbing his heart, and it was inexplicably difficult to breathe.

After a long while, as if he was giving up, or as if he was revealing his original intention, he said:

"If I can't be the world's hero, I can be your hero."

He didn't know when it started, but he began to caress the face of his subordinate.

It was a strange feeling to have someone else's body touching his cheek, but he couldn't bear to let go.

The look in her eyes was filled with sticky warmth and tenderness.

At such an ambiguous moment, Xie Xingran was drowsy, and the voices in his ears seemed to be wrapped in several pounds of cotton, making him inaudible.

He spoke for a long time, and in the end Xie Xingran only remembered the three words "great hero".

Therefore, she seemed to think that he was fooling her, and she started to accuse him with a pout:

"You lied to me. You said you'd stop the rain, but you wanted to be a hero..."

Lu Ci also took a breath, exhaled heavily, and ruffled her hair randomly.

"Really? Why am I telling you this, a drunk? You can't remember it."

Xie Xingran: "You are the drunkard, your whole family is drunkards. I never get drunk when I drink."

While she was speaking, Lu Ci noticed out of the corner of his eye that the rain outside the window had stopped long ago.

The sun appeared and half of a rainbow could be seen faintly.

He retracted his gaze, flicked her forehead, and said with a smirk, "You said you wouldn't get drunk, you little drunkard."

He had obviously forgotten that she got drunk because he was physically unable to drink.

"And who said I lied to you? Look over there," he made room and pointed out the window:

"See? The rain has stopped, there's sunshine and a rainbow. I'm the one who created it. You have to thank me, okay?"

Xie Xingran half opened his eyes and looked, and sure enough, the rain had stopped, and he could see the blue sky and rainbow.

I was both skeptical and surprised when he said "I changed".

She stared blankly at the person in front of her and actually said thank you: "Thank you."

"Pfft..." Lu Ci was also amused by her silly look, "You're welcome. Can you drink the hangover soup now?"

Xie Xingran hummed softly and drank the bowl of hangover soup with ginger while suppressing his nausea.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore." Lu Ci also put down the bowl, covered her with the quilt, and patted her gently, "Go to sleep, I'll call you for dinner."

Xie Xingran closed his eyes.

This feeling is very reassuring, just like the feeling of her brother carrying her all the way home after she fell asleep while playing hide-and-seek as a child and was found.

But, the person in front of me can't be my brother...

The tear at the corner of her eye was like a drop of magma, burning his heart, and Lu Ci almost subconsciously wiped it away with his fingertips.

I never thought that Xie Xingran would grab my hand, place it under my face, use it as a pillow, and slowly fall asleep.

Xie Xingran thought, let her indulge in the warmth of this moment.

Lu Ci also felt that he should pull away, but half an hour later, his hand was still pressed against her face.

While sleeping, Xie Xingran had another nightmare. In the past, her sister A Yan would accompany her and comfort her on thunderstorm days.

Now, Sister Ayan is gone, but there is one more person by her side.

The rainbow outside the house is a mixture of blue and white, showing the most beautiful appearance of the sky.

When Xie Xingran woke up in the evening, his head was still a little dizzy, but not very painful.

Lu Ci was not in the room either. She went downstairs and saw him in the busy kitchen.

"Are you awake?" Seeing her, Lu Ci also picked up the honey and poured it into a cup.

"Headache? I asked someone to buy a jar of honey. I heard it can sober you up, and it doesn't have ginger in it. Have some."

Xie Xingran felt warm in her heart. She took the cup and took two sips. The sweetness went straight to her heart.

The effect of honey was immediate, and Xie Xingran became much more sober.

"Thank you, can I help you?" she asked.

She remembered some of what happened when she was drunk, which was a bit embarrassing, but she also felt that her relationship with him had become much closer.

Lu Ci also stopped her and started the car again, "No, no, I'll be ready soon."

He is very serious about cooking and follows the tutorial step by step.

She leaned against the glass door with her arms folded, her eyes fixed on his profile.

It was rare to see him being so serious and considerate, and Xie Xingran found it quite novel.

[She's been staring at me the whole time. Her eyes are almost on me. She must be mesmerized by the way I cook. Hahaha!]

While thinking, Lu Ci was also posing to look cool, looking both pretentious and cute.

Xie Xingran couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.

It's really only serious for three seconds.

As a result, because he was observing her out of the corner of his eye from time to time, he was not paying attention and his finger was burned by the bottom of the pot again.

"what--"

Xie Xingran reacted very quickly, grabbed his wrist, rushed to the sink, and turned on the water to cool his hand.

"Be careful," she said. "Wear gloves when you cook next time."

Looking at the two people's clasped hands, Lu Ci's eyes flashed and his ears turned red for some unknown reason.

[Ahhhhhh! She cares about me! ]

Xie Xingran glanced at him in confusion. What was there to be excited about?

Half of her reason was for the sake of her own hands.

The burn was not serious, and with timely treatment, the burning sensation disappeared soon.
