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

The next day, the early morning sunlight shone through the cracks in the window.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-"

The alarm clock rang at 7:30, and Lu Ci opened his eyes quickly. The person next to him had already gotten up and left without him knowing when.

He stared at the ceiling blankly for a few seconds, then suddenly lifted the quilt and buried his head in it. He blushed and his heart began to beat fast.

In my heart the wind and waves roar:

[Ahhh! I actually had that kind of dream. This is so embarrassing.]

Xie Xingran, who was in the bathroom, heard his thoughts and was stunned for a moment.

Could the dream he was talking about be the kind that made her get up early in the morning to wash her underwear?

After a moment, she sped up the scrubbing of her hands.

Outside the bathroom door, someone's inner voice continued:

[Oh, what a pity! The alarm went off at the crucial moment.]

Xie Xingran: ...Heh, are you still feeling lost?

She quickened her pace again, determined to hide the two pairs of pants that had caused her to lose composure before he came in to wash up.

Outside the room, Lu Ci rolled around in bed twice before getting up. As usual, he put his giant panda on the bed, tidied it up, and covered it with a quilt.

But he changed his mind and thought, "Well, I'd better put you on my side, so she doesn't misunderstand me trying to get into her bed again."

Thinking of this, he picked up the giant panda and walked around to his own bed.

Just as he was about to lift the quilt, he heard a loud shout from behind him: "Don't move!"

Lu Ci also turned around in confusion, only to see Xie Xingran hurriedly running out of the bathroom and sitting down on the quilt.

In the middle of the night, she was squeezed so hard that she almost fell off the bed, so Xie Xingran moved to sleep on his side. Who would have thought that when she woke up in the morning, she would find something wrong under her body...

"Um, what I meant was that I found the bed over here is a little more comfortable to sleep on. Why don't we switch positions?"

"Huh?" Lu Ci's eyes were filled with confusion. "Even though there's a boundary, isn't this still just one bed?"

【Why do I sleep better here? 】

Xie Xingran racked his brains: "That's it..." What should I do? !

There was only one bed, and she had no chance to change the sheets.

"Oh——" He suddenly said "oh" as if he had an epiphany, and the ending tone was elongated.

But her little face was flushed. When she saw her looking at her, she pursed her lips shyly and avoided looking at her.

Xie Xingran: ...No, what nonsense are you thinking about?

【I see. 】

Xie Xingran: No, you don’t know.

[The bed over there must have my scent on it, and she felt more at ease sleeping with my scent, so she wanted to switch places with me. Yeah, that must be it.]

[But in this case, will she always have the same dream as me? ]

Xie Xingran: ...

You know, with his peculiar and narcissistic way of thinking, all his little thoughts are crooked!

"If you want to change it so much, then, then let's change it."

He couldn't suppress the smile on his face, turned around and went back to the right, covering the giant panda with a blanket.

The next moment, he inadvertently noticed that her pajamas and pants were not the same set.

【? 】

[She is——changing into her pajamas, right?]

Xie Xingran had not yet recovered from this thrilling experience, and his heart was once again lifted because of his inner voice.

I should have changed my pajamas as well, so that it wouldn't be noticed.

She felt regretful in her heart, clenched her fingers nervously, and prayed that he would not think that way.

But how could Lu Ci, as a man, not understand the nature of men?

He remembered everything almost instantly, and looked at her in surprise with wide eyes and an all-seeing gaze.

"Bang——" Xie Xingran's heart fell to the ground and he finally died.

[Oh, I used to do this all the time. What's there to hide? I won't laugh at her.]

Xie Xingran closed his eyes, and the redness at the base of his ears spread down to his neck.

But she still wanted to give herself a decent excuse, and forced herself to explain:

"Oh, I just got up and wanted to drink some water, but I didn't hold it firmly and accidentally spilled some water on my pants, so I changed my pants."

Feeling it was too abrupt, she added, "There might be some broken glass on the ground that hasn't been swept up yet. Be careful not to step on it."

After thinking about it, Xie Xingran felt that this excuse was perfect!

But Lu Ci also revealed the loophole:

"Ah? You broke the glass? But aren't both of our glasses still there?"

Following the direction of his raised chin, one could clearly see the only two glasses in the room, lying there quietly upside down.

"And I remember that the water in the kettle was gone last night. So you..."

Lu Ci also pointed out two loopholes at once, clearly showing that he didn't believe it.

Xie Xingran's face stiffened slightly, and she gritted her teeth and said:

"I was so thirsty, so I went to get some water from the bathroom. After it broke, I brought up a glass from downstairs."

Lu Ci also suppressed his laughter and nodded seriously:

"Oh, I see. Sorry for that. It's all my fault. I should have gone downstairs to get a kettle of water last night when there was no water."

[Hahahaha, my wife is so adorable when she's being secretive. She's going to any lengths to cover up her mistakes.]

Xie Xingran was so angry that his mind was filled with his laughing voice.

"It's good that you know," he said. "From now on, you will be the one to get water from the kettle. If I don't get water in time one morning, you can expect a beating!"

After saying that, without caring about his expression, Xie Xingran walked into the bathroom and wrung out two pairs of pants.

Then he took it in his hand openly and went to the balcony to dry it.

But someone was staring at her the whole time and laughing at her joke.

Xie Xingran returned to the bedroom and walked straight towards him.

She wanted to step on him hard, but when she thought about it being her own body, she reduced her strength.

So what we saw was a grown man stepping lightly on the woman's foot and angrily saying:

"Go wash up quickly, or you'll be late for work because of you, and you'll be in trouble."

After saying that, she rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.

Afterwards, Xie Xingran opened the wardrobe, found a suit, turned around and went into the bathroom, locked the door and went to change clothes.

Outside the door, Lu Ci was also holding his stomach, laughing so hard that tears were almost coming out, but he didn't dare to let out a sound.

I only dared to laugh wildly in my heart:

Is my wife angry and embarrassed? Hahaha, she still wants to hit me? That's fine~ As long as it's her, she can hit me however she wants.

Xie Xingran: ...I won't reward you!!

[But this body is hers, so I'll give it to her after I get it back.]

Xie Xingran: ...Okay, just wait for me!

—

After the morning's farce ended, the two of them took a car to the company together.

In order to conceal his tracks, Lu Ci got off the car one intersection away from the company these days.

It’s another five-minute walk to the company to clock in.

This time, Lu Ci got off the car and turned back to ask her persistently:

"Can't we have lunch together today? Life doesn't have so many spectators. No one will notice us."

Xie Xingran didn't want to be discovered publicly before because he thought that no one would have a good impression of him.

She will leave once the one-year period is up.

Therefore, it would not be good for her to make it public, and it might even cause controversy and create trouble.

But now, she looked into those sparkling, pleading eyes.

I thought, even if someone found out, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

So she nodded: "Okay, you decide on the restaurant, and I'll come find you when the time comes."

Lu Ci didn't expect her to agree so quickly, and he was so happy that he almost flew away.

"Okay, we'll contact you then."

After closing the car door, he walked forward happily, swinging his bag.

They didn't notice at all that not far behind them, a car was parked quietly on the side of the road.

The person in the driver's seat was staring at them intently, taking pictures with his phone...
