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

"Xie Xingran, are you still sleeping? The sun is shining on your butt."

"Let her sleep for a while. She's been too tired these years and should have a good sleep. She'll wake up when she's rested."

"My dear daughter, grandma will fan you. When you have slept comfortably and had a good rest, wake up. Someone is waiting for you."

"This guy seems okay, but he's a little timid. He's actually afraid of ghosts? Xie Xingran, you won't stop visiting us because of him, right? Haha, if you dare to do that, you're dead."

"What are you talking about? Is Xingran that kind of person? Besides, apart from being afraid of ghosts, he's excellent in other aspects, right?"

"Humph, if I'm not dead, I'm definitely better than him. Xu Yanqiu, try praising someone else again?"

"Xie Yihe, you are sick."

"Hey, I..."

"Alright, alright, if you want to make a noise, go outside and don't disturb Xingran's sleep."

The bizarre dream, the long-lost warmth, bursts like bubbles at the slightest touch.

Xie Xingran felt as if he was back in a hot afternoon many years ago.

Her brother and sister Ayan were arguing over a physics problem, while she was sleeping sleepily on the bed. The sunlight was glaring, so her grandmother fanned her with a palm-leaf fan.

Outside the house, on the treetops, cicadas chirped tirelessly.

The air is filled with the smell of tranquility and peace of mind.

So she really had a good sleep again.

When he woke up again, it was already midnight. Xie Xingran slowly opened his eyes and saw the pure white ceiling. The smell of hospital disinfectant was very unpleasant.

She moved her hand, but found it was held tightly.

This movement startled the person holding her hand and he subconsciously stood up to check on her.

The moment he found that she was looking at him with her eyes open, Lu Ci opened his mouth, but his throat was choked and he couldn't say anything. Only tears fell.

Xie Xingran just stared at him quietly.

I watched tears well up in his bloodshot eyes, and his stubbled chin twitch.

She thought to herself, as expected, Lu Ciye's face was particularly touching when he cried, like an abandoned puppy, both cute and fierce.

After a long while, her voice became hoarse as she asked, "Have we changed back?"

Lu Ci did not answer her obvious question, but cried:

"Wife, why are you waking up now?"

[Do you know how worried I've been about you these past three days? Woohoo! If you didn't wake up, I'd almost die with you. It's all my fault. I should have killed that bastard earlier.]

The mind-reading ability hasn't been taken back yet?

Xie Xingran raised the corners of his lips slightly and raised his hand to wipe his tears.

As soon as she touched it, a tear flowed down her skin into her sleeve.

It feels numb, like an electric current passing through, bringing with it a deep itch.

She controlled her mind, lowered her eyes and whispered:

"I dreamed about my grandma, my brother, and sister Ayan. They told me to have a good rest, so I slept for a few more days."

Lu Ci also held her hand and kissed it: "Now that you're awake, don't sleep for so long. I'm scared..."

As he spoke, he began to cry again.

Oh, he is really a little crybaby.

Xie Xingran sighed amusedly, held his forehead, and said weakly: "Don't cry, I have a headache."

Lu Ci immediately stopped crying, wiped his sleeves, and stood up hurriedly:

"Wait, I'll call a doctor for you."

The attending physician quickly came over to examine Xie Xingran.

"It's good that you're awake. All your physical indicators are normal. The headache might be due to a concussion. Just rest in bed for another day and you'll basically be able to get out of bed and walk around."

After the doctor left, Lu Ci also poured her some water.

Xie Xingran bit the straw and drank most of it, all the while staring at him, as if he could never get enough of it.

Seeing his original appearance with his own eyes made Xie Xingran feel itchy and a little moved.

It was like the first day I met him, and then I fell in love at first sight, and then fell in love with him again.

Lu Ci obviously didn't look at her, but his ears gradually turned from white to red under her scorching gaze.

He couldn't hold on any longer in less than a minute. Even with his lips pursed, he couldn't suppress the curve of his mouth. He raised his head and looked at her shyly:

"Wife, why are you looking at me?"

Xie Xingran curved his lips and said bluntly: "Look at you."

This body always lacked some vitality when she used it, but now that it has returned to him, it looks so full of energy and vitality.

A warm breath that belonged only to young people hit her in the face, leaving her with no way to avoid it.

I don't want to avoid him, but instead I want to hug him tightly and make him belong only to me.

Lu Ci actually didn't care much about his appearance before.

But now, every time she praises him, he becomes more narcissistic.

"Hmph." He snorted, raised his chin and asked her meaningfully, "Am I the most beautiful person in the world?"

[Of course, I'm so much more handsome than Jiang Ciyang.]

Without waiting for her confirmation, he gave himself a high praise in his heart.

Xie Xingran laughed and teased him: "Hmm... barely the second most beautiful in the world."

Sure enough, Lu Ci, who didn't get a satisfactory answer, was like a lion, glaring and furious:

"Isn't this the best in the world? Then who do you think is the most beautiful in the world?"

[Don't tell me it was that cheating man, or I'll have to get a doctor to check her eyes!]

"Of course it is—" Xie Xingran paused deliberately, and seeing his eyes darken, he continued slowly:

"It's me! To love others, you must first love yourself. To love yourself, you must always praise yourself."

Lu Ci was also stunned. Looking at the smug smile in her eyes, he slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

With his index finger curved, he scratched the tip of her nose lovingly and said, "Alright then, you are the prettiest in the world, and I am the second prettiest."

Xie Xingran was stunned by his intimate behavior, her eyelashes fluttered and her cheeks flushed.

But she forced herself to remain calm and said, "It's so hot, is there no air conditioning in the room?"

How could Lu Ci not see the shyness in her eyes?

"The window is open. Be careful not to catch a cold if you turn on the air conditioner."

[Since my wife is still a patient, I won't expose her. Humph, she's so arrogant and pretends to be calm.]

Who are you talking about, you tsundere!

Xie Xingran bit her lip, pretending to be calm and not refute, but the stubborn tsundere was clearly...

Thinking about his feelings that he never concealed, the word "tsundere" really didn't suit him.

He's more like a blazing sunflower.

The sunflower follows the sun, and Lu Ci also follows her.

Considering how hard he has worked these past few days, she won't bother with him about her being such a tsundere.

After drinking some lean meat porridge, Xie Xingran lay down to rest again.

The kidnapping finally ended with two deaths and ten injuries. The dead were the Silent Man and the Scar Man. Except for Xie Xingran who was in a coma for three days, the rest had woken up long ago and were not seriously injured.

We got information from the police station that the three men were drug dealers, and they kidnapped Xie Xingran, also known as Lu Ci, at the instigation of Zhong Yilin.
