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

When going down the mountain, Lu Ci's legs were trembling and he had to go to work at nine o'clock.

They decided to go down by cable car.

They sat facing each other in the narrow space, green hills passing by them and sunlight filtering through.

Thinking of the strange thing that happened in the early morning, Xie Xingran couldn't figure it out and asked him:

"What do you think was the opportunity we got back then?"

Lu Ci also thought about it seriously, and then, suddenly realized, he came to the conclusion:

"Maybe it's because we slept together in each other's arms, so I'm going to ask that we sleep together in each other's arms from now on."

He looked righteous and raised his hand to say that he was like a model student in class when he applied.

Xie Xingran rolled his eyes speechlessly and gently slapped down his raised hand.

"Be serious. This is related to whether we can return to normal life."

Lu Ci didn't care much about this and muttered quietly, "Isn't it a normal life now?"

[It doesn't matter if I can't get my body back. I've adapted to this body pretty well anyway.]

Xie Xingran: ...You've forgotten that you cried out that you wanted to die during your period last time, right?

[Even though it can't be exchanged, there's a connection between us. Before she completely falls in love with me, I hope this connection will always exist.]

[Of course, it's okay if your body hasn't returned to normal after falling in love. Perfect, let me! Give birth to the fruit of our love!]

【This way she wouldn't have to suffer the pain of pregnancy.】

Hearing him talk about his noble sacrifice word by word in his heart, regardless of whether he believed it or not, Xie Xingran was extremely impressed.

A man who voluntarily bears the hardship of pregnancy can be considered a real man!

More importantly, she wanted to have a family in this world that was related to her by blood.

But the process of giving birth often makes her want to back down.

At this moment, he said in his heart that he was willing to give birth to the fruit of their love, and Xie Xingran was shamefully moved.

At the same time, a voice in her heart kept echoing in her ears:

It's him, Xie Xingran, he's the one for me in this life...

The opportunity for the exchange was not discussed to any conclusion, and they started a new day of work.

They had asked for leave too many times before, so neither of them asked for leave this time.

Lu Ci also walked into the company with unsteady steps and a slightly strange posture.

If he is a stranger, I would ask him how he is; if he is familiar with me, I would secretly ask him if it is because I had sex with his husband too hard last night.

The person who asked him was a sweet and energetic girl. Her cheerful and enthusiastic personality made her very popular.

Before, she and Xie Xingran got along well at work, and her colleagues all called her Xiaotian.

At this time, Xiaotian looked at him with a gossipy look on his face, which made Lu Ci blush and embarrassed.

I would like to think that's the reason, but my wife even wants to separate us from the bed.

"No," he tried to explain, "My husband and I went hiking to watch the sunrise last night. It's been a while since I last walked such a long distance, so that's why I felt like this."

Xiaotian squinted at him, obviously not believing him. "What about the red mark on your neck? You wouldn't say it was a mosquito bite, would you?"

Lu Ci also touched the mosquito bite on his neck and said, "It is what it is."

Seeing that he refused to admit it, Oda slid back to his seat with an expression that said, "Okay, okay, I won't expose you anymore."

Before leaving, he murmured doubtfully:

"What kind of person goes hiking up a mountain to watch the sunrise and still comes to work the next day?"

Lu Ciye: ...

We are a good family.

—

Today is the anniversary of Lu Ciye's father's death. Apart from Lu Ciye and his grandmother, his mother is the saddest person.

Although Lu Ciye's parents had a business marriage, they actually had real feelings for each other.

When Lu Ciye's father passed away due to cancer, Mrs. Lu also fell seriously ill, and the Lu family was in danger at that time.

Fortunately, we all got through it in the end.

Mrs. Lu, who was on vacation before, also returned home because of this special day.

I'm drinking in a cemetery now.

"Old Lu, you really shouldn't have died," Mrs. Lu, already drunk, muttered to herself:

"You know your son has been afraid of ghosts since he was a child. Now, you've been buried in this gloomy cemetery for fifteen years. Has your son ever come to see you once?"

Mrs. Lu slowly poured herself another glass of wine and drank it elegantly in one gulp.

Suddenly, her mood changed, she put down the cup heavily in anger and cursed:

"Your son is such a scoundrel! Just wait, I'm going to make him come over and kowtow to you today."

She called Lu Ciye.

"Hello, Mom, what are you doing?" Lu Ci also went to a corner, covering his phone.

Mrs. Lu: "You rebellious son, do you remember what day it is today?"

Hearing the voice, Lu Ci knew his mother was drunk: "I know, it's my father's death anniversary. Mom, are you back home? Where are you?"

Mrs. Lu: "Where else could it be? At your father's grave?"

Lu Ciye: ...

Madam Lu: "Come here quickly and kowtow to your father. Tell him how disappointed he must be that you haven't come to see him in all these years because you're afraid of ghosts. Ah! You unfilial son."

Lu Ci also pursed his lips, held his forehead and remained silent.

After a long while, he twitched his lips and said jokingly, "Mom, it's going to be dark soon, and there might be ghosts around. Can I go tomorrow?"

Mrs. Lu cursed even louder: "What the hell, tomorrow is your father's death anniversary, huh?! You only have one father, why don't you hurry over here. Oh, and bring Xiao Xingxing over too, the daughter-in-law has to meet her father-in-law."

Without waiting for his reply, Mrs. Lu hung up the phone.

Lu Ci also looked at the phone screen and sighed deeply.

"Just go."

So the two of them, who had only one hour left before getting off work at six o'clock, ended up taking half a day off.

Lu Ci also remained silent all the way, his chin resting on his hands, staring out the window in a daze.

Xie Xingran hesitated several times, wanting to ask him why he hadn't visited his father at the cemetery for so many years?

Mrs. Lu also called her just now, but she was a little skeptical.

It doesn't seem like Lu Ci would do something like not going to the cemetery for so many years just because he is afraid of ghosts.

...Maybe he has been here, but no one knows about it.

When they arrived at the cemetery, Lu Ci also stood outside the garden, hesitant to take that step, as if he was enduring something.

Xie Xingran looked at him, turned around and stood beside him, stretching out his big hand to hold him.

But Lu Ci also dodged away at once, and when he reacted, he was so panicked that he didn't know what to do.

Looking at her stammering: "I..."

Xie Xingran curled his lips towards him and held his hand again, "Lu Ciye, don't be afraid."

Looking down at their clasped hands, Lu Ciye's lips corners slowly curled up, and when he looked up again, his brows were relaxed again, and his face was smiling lazily.

"Well, let's go. I'm not afraid. With you here, no monsters or demons can get close to me!"

The cemetery is large and the environment is beautiful.

When they found the cemetery, Mrs. Lu was lying on the tombstone, mumbling something in a daze. The female assistant beside her carefully supported her to prevent her from falling.

There were several bunches of packaged white chrysanthemums and white lilies on the ground. They must have been placed there when my uncle and third uncle came to pay their respects...
