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

Lu Ciye's mind was blank, and he felt that the gaze above him was really scary.

He closed his eyes tightly, not daring to move: "I'm already asleep, don't make trouble."

Xie Xingran chuckled and pushed his body away: "Can you still talk in your sleep?"

Lu Ci was unwilling to give up and hugged her tightly, saying, "I was talking in my sleep. I was sleepwalking just now. Don't wake me up easily, otherwise you will have a stupid husband."

Nonsense, nonsense, and fabrications.

Xie Xingran struggled, broke free from his restraints, sat up, and pulled him up with him.

"Don't try to fool me, Lu Ciye. We agreed not to cross the line this year. Do you want to go back on your word?"

[Yeah, I want to regret it, but my wife is sleeping next to me, why can't she give me a hug? Wuuwuwu.]

Lu Ci also pouted, looking unsatisfied.

But he still tried to defend himself weakly, saying, "I didn't..."

If I really want to go back on my word, I guess we'll have to sleep in separate beds again.

"You didn't?" Xie Xingran was full of pride and lectured clearly, "Then what were you doing just now? Don't think you can do whatever you want just because I'm really asleep. We haven't reached that point yet."

At most, I have a 70% or 80% favorable impression of him and want to try dating him.

But before that, he has to accept the test, and the level of intimacy has to be increased slowly, step by step.

If he was always so anxious, she would feel embarrassed and feel that there was a lack of spiritual resonance and soul connection between them.

"You haven't slept all night yet?" Lu Ciye's eyes were filled with a hint of resentment. "Just waiting to catch me in the act?"

Xie Xingran felt guilty for two seconds, then straightened his chest and said fearlessly:

"Yes, I just wanted to see what you were up to. But I didn't expect you to be such a mean person. We agreed not to cross the line.

You actually came and hugged me while I was asleep, and you're addicted to hugging me like a human pillow, right?"

A few righteous words will clearly and firmly establish the high ground of reason.

In an instant, Lu Ciye's momentum was almost gone. He lowered his head, then raised it again and said to her pitifully:

"But I'm cold. Your feet and hands are always cold. The air conditioner is on in the room, but I'm too cold to sleep."

Xie Xingran was suspicious: "Is it really that cold?"

But in the past, she really wouldn't turn on the air conditioner in this kind of weather.

She picked up the remote control and turned off the air conditioner.

Lu Ci also stretched out his leg and put one of his long, white legs onto the quilt.

"If you don't believe me, touch your feet. They're very cold. I suspect you're afraid of the cold."

Feeling cold in this weather?

But she still held it, and the little feet were wrapped in the big hands, and a coolness passed to the warm palms.

"It's very cold." She confirmed.

Her health has been a little poor over the years and cannot compare to his healthy and warm body.

She felt sorry for him in this regard.

"Is that so?" Lu Ci felt that he had some reason and stretched out his other leg. "Warm me up, and I won't hold you in my arms until I sleep."

Xie Xingran didn't move, just watched him quietly as he became more and more presumptuous, to see if he would feel ashamed.

Lu Ci gradually stopped acting rashly.

Just as he was about to retract his foot, someone grabbed his ankle and dragged him to the edge of the bed.

"Sit down, I'll get you a basin of hot water so you can soak your feet," she said.

After getting out of bed, Xie Xingran took a minute to get some hot water from the bathroom and put it at his feet.

Then he stood up and said, "Put your hand in and soak yourself. I'll go get some water when you're done."

It was impossible to wash his feet, even though they were her feet.

But even with that, Lu Ci was satisfied.

He put his feet into the basin, and the scalding hot water condensed into a warmth that swept over his whole body.

[Ah, so comfortable! My wife made me some footbath water! My wife loves me so much.]

Looking at the person who squinted his eyes in comfort, Xie Xingran sighed helplessly.

It was obvious that they wanted to criticize him before, but he turned the situation around with just a few words.

She was even willing to prepare water for him to wash his feet.

"Come and wash my feet with me. This basin is very big." He invited warmly.

Xie Xingran was about to refuse, but then he said coquettishly: "Come on, come on, let's wash your feet together~"

He seemed to know that she was always helpless against his coquettishness, so he often used this trick to deal with her.

Just like at this moment, Xie Xingran compromised and said, "Okay, then you go get some water later."

Xie Xingran sat next to him on the edge of the bed. As soon as he put his foot in a little, he shuddered because of the heat.

"Ah! I put the water on too hot." She asked in confusion, "Don't you think it's too hot?"

Lu Ci also shook his head: "No, it's just right, very comfortable, try stretching it out again, bear with it, and slowly it won't feel hot anymore."

Xie Xingran was half-believing and half-doubting, and tried slowly.

Finally, Lu Ci couldn't bear it anymore, so he pressed his feet hard on the back of her feet and pushed them into the hot water.

Xie Xingran cried out because of the burn.

But after enduring that period of time, I did get used to it.

The two big feet tightly wrapped around the small feet on the outside. In the clear and transparent water, the contrast between the big and the small was sharp.

Sometimes, Lu Ci would playfully touch her feet, with a smile on his face.

[It’s great! This is the happiness of having a wife~]

He even took out his phone and took a picture of his feet in the basin.

Xie Xingran did not stop him and remained silent.

After washing their feet, the two lay on the bed again, with clear boundaries between them.

Lu Ci also hugged the furry pillow, faced her, closed his eyes, and fell asleep soon.

Before going to bed, I was still thinking:

[When can I hug my wife and sleep with her? ]

Xie Xingran opened his eyes, turned to look at the person beside him, and thought: That will have to wait for some time.

I hope you have the patience.

The next day, the boring and ordinary working hours passed quickly.

In the evening, they returned to their own villa and Lu Ci cooked the meal himself.

At the dinner table, he took the initiative to say:

"I want to go hiking at night on Yunshan Mountain tonight and watch the sunrise tomorrow morning. Xie Xingran, can you go with me?"

Xie Xingran paused with his hand holding the meat, then put the meat into his bowl.

"Go ahead. You're just a little girl. Climbing at night is so dangerous. Of course you have to accompany me."

She knew the reason; her grandmother told her last night.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of Lu Ciye's father's death.

Over the years, every time at this time, Lu Ci would go alone to climb Yunshan Mountain at night to watch the sunrise.

With her here this year, he wanted her to accompany him.

Xie Xingran would naturally not refuse.

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Lu Ci smiled happily and gave her some meat:

"Then let's take a nap first and then prepare to leave after midnight."

Yunshan is in City A, not far from here, and the round trip doesn’t take much time.

Xie Xingran: "Okay."

After dinner, they set the alarm and went back to the bedroom to take a shower and go to bed.

But because it was too early, both of them could not sleep.

The warm yellow desk lamp casts a faint light in the room.

The night is very quiet tonight.

After a long while, Lu Ci couldn't hold it in any longer and said, "Why don't you ask me why I want to go hiking?"

Xie Xingran: "Didn't you say we wanted to watch the sunrise? I also want to go and see it."

Lu Ci was also dissatisfied with this answer. He puffed up his face and looked miserable, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

Xie Xingran didn't want to specifically ask about other people's sad stories. If he was willing to talk, she would listen attentively.

If he didn't want to talk, she wouldn't force him.

Lu Ci also buried his face in the panda's soft fur, and finally spoke in a muffled voice:

"Xie Xingran, let me tell you the story between me and my dad... Do you want to hear it?"

This time Xie Xingran nodded. She lay on her side facing him and looked at him very seriously:

"Say it, I'm listening."
