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

Hearing the voice behind him, Xie Xingran turned around and saw a little person in his arms the next second.

"Oh, honey, they say I'm a stand-in. Am I really a stand-in? Is it just because my name also has the word 'Ci' in it?"

[Outrageous. They say they look similar, but there's also a "ci" character in it. What the hell? Some netizens are just clueless.]

Xie Xingran: ...You also know that it’s outrageous, so why are you still crying?

She ruffled his hair casually: "No, you are much more beautiful than someone."

Lu Ci also looked up at her: "Is she just prettier? Isn't she more upright than a certain cheating man?"

Xie Xingran smiled: "Well, you are much better than him in every aspect."

Lu Ci also narrowed his eyes and smiled with satisfaction: "Hehe, I knew it, my wife loves me the most~"

The two of them showed their affection as if no one was around, completely ignoring Jiang Ci Yang who was on the other end of the phone.

Jiang Ci Yang clenched his phone tightly. Even though they had broken up, it did not prevent the sea of jealousy in his heart from drowning him.

But suddenly, he started laughing too.

Xie Xingran asked calmly, "What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Ciyang raised his hand to adjust his gold-rimmed glasses, his voice gentle:

"Ah Ran, I still remember one year when I dyed my hair yellow, you kept staring at me. I asked you what you were looking at, and you flattered me that I looked pretty. I asked how pretty I was, and you said I was the prettiest person in the world."

Xie Xingran pursed his lips, feeling regretful that he shouldn't have asked.

When he lowered his eyes, he saw Lu Ci's face, which was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping with water.

She was afraid that Jiang Ciyang would talk about their past and upset him, so she quickly hung up the phone.

Seeing her guilty look, Lu Ci let her go and snorted.

Then he shook his head and parroted, saying: "The best~in~the~world~"

Xie Xingran opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped, and sighed deeply in his heart.

She could almost foresee that in the next few decades, the frequency with which this sentence would appear would be absolutely ridiculous.

After Lu Ci finished speaking, the corners of his lips twitched and his expression became even uglier.

"Have you ever seen everyone's face in the world? You just praise him as the most handsome in the world. Am I not better looking than him? Xie Xingran, what kind of vision do you have?"

It’s over. Now everyone calls her by her full name. It’s difficult.

Xie Xingran: "Don't be angry, listen to my explanation."

Lu Ci also crossed his arms and said, "Okay, I'll listen to your excuses."

Xie Xingran: “…”

She stroked her forehead and said, "We were only in the second grade that year..."

Lu Ciye: "Great, you actually remember the year so clearly."

Xie Xingran: “…”

Seeing that she was speechless, Lu Ci snorted again:

"You've already fallen in love with that cheating guy since the second year of junior high, Xie Xingran. If I could travel through time, I would definitely tell the teacher about your premature love!"

Xie Xingran: Actually, it was even earlier, but she didn’t dare to say it, for fear that she would not be able to coax him if she said it again.

She went forward and hugged him tightly, ignoring his struggles.

In fact, Lu Ci didn't struggle much, otherwise with his skills, it would be impossible for her to hold him.

Thinking of this, Xie Xingran softened his heart. As long as he was willing to listen to her excuses, no, just an explanation would be enough.

"I was just a little girl back then, what did I know about liking someone? I just thought it was novel that he had dyed his hair yellow. Later on, I did like him, but he had already transferred to another school..."

Lu Ciye: "You feel quite regretful? Did you miss him every day afterwards?"

Xie Xingran sighed, "No... not long after he transferred to another school, my brother got into trouble. How could I have the mood to miss him?"

Hearing this, regret flashed in Lu Ci's eyes.

He raised his hands and hugged her back, as if to silently comfort her.

Xie Xingran curled her lips. This person said that she was soft-hearted, but he was obviously the softest-hearted person.

Lu·Soft-hearted·Ci Ye: "Go on, tell me everything in detail."

Xie Xingran: "...Does it have to be every little detail?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Ci was immediately dissatisfied again. He let go of her hand and looked at her sarcastically and asked:

"You really remember everything?"

Xie Xingran immediately denied it: "No, no, how could I remember every detail about him... Well, there's one thing that you might be particularly concerned about, but I'm afraid you'll get angry if I tell you."

Lu Ci also gritted his teeth and forced an ugly smile towards her cautious eyes.

"Tell me, I promise I won't be angry."

Xie Xingran: "You promised, don't be jealous later."

He scoffed disdainfully: "I'm not a jealous person, are you going to tell me or not?"

Xie Xingran thought to himself, you look like a jealous person, the kind that is full of aged vinegar.

But since we are already married, there is nothing wrong with confessing what happened before.

"Yes, when I was in the third year of junior high school, I wrote him a love letter."

She quickly said the last four words, feeling guilty and closing her eyes.

After a long while, I didn't see any movement from him. I quietly opened one eye and saw that he had a blank expression and a dull look.

"Well, then, anything else?" he asked.

Xie Xingran swallowed his saliva and shook his head.

"No, my brother found out about it and he told me not to go with Jiang Ciyang.

Of course I listened to my brother the most! I didn't go to see him off until the day he was leaving.

Then two years ago, he returned to China, and after we met again, he started pursuing me. I only agreed to be with him half a year ago, and it has only been about three months.

I was even divorced from him for the first two months, and then he cheated on me, so I broke up with him right away. And then, I met you, my soulmate.

After he finished the last coquettish and flattering sentence, Xie Xingran was almost disgusted by his own voice.

Lu Ci remained expressionless, and even snorted coldly without saying anything.

This made Xie Xingran very unsure, and her intuition told her that he was really jealous this time.

And the kind that's a little hard to coax.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly spoke, his tone tinged with desolation: "Xie Xingran, why don't you say we can't be childhood sweethearts?"

"Well..." Xie Xingran bit his lip. "Reincarnation is a technical job. No one can choose, right? Although we are not childhood sweethearts, we have the rest of our lives together."

"Oh." He responded casually, as if he didn't hear anyone go in.

Or perhaps I listened to it, but still felt regretful for not being able to meet her earlier.

"I'm leaving now. I'm going to scold some netizens."

He spoke seriously, as if he didn't really want to go, but wanted her to keep him and coax him.

Xie Xingran naturally wanted to coax him again, so he stopped in front of him and looked down into his eyes.

"Are you crying?"

Lu Ci also sneered: "Am I someone who cries so easily?"

Xie Xingran: You are.

"Don't be jealous, can I write you a love letter too?"

Lu Ci also turned his head away, but he couldn't suppress the upward curve of his lips, and said arrogantly: "If you want to write, then write. Why are you asking me? If I say no, you won't write?"

Xie Xingran suppressed a smile: "Of course not. I would write it to you even if you didn't want it."

Lu Ci also continued to snort coldly.

She held up his face in her hands in amusement, rubbing his face, which was so lively and lovely because of him, and her voice was high and low:

"Hubby~baby~don't be jealous, okay?"

Seeing that he was finally willing to look at her straight in the eye, there was something unclear in his expression.

Xie Xingran smiled and rubbed his face again, calling him "Little jealous boy."

Lu Ci also looked gloomy: "I'm not jealous..."

Xie Xingran: "Okay, okay, if you're not jealous, then what do you eat? How about noodles?"

Lu Ciye: "No, I want to eat meat."

Xie Xingran recalled the ingredients in the refrigerator, "Meat? It seems..." There is no more, and I don’t know how to cook it.

He swallowed the rest of the words, and Lu Ci also stood on tiptoe to hug her neck, kissed her fiercely, and bit her lips...

During the lingering moment, I only heard him mumble, "I want to eat this 'meat'~"
