Mr. Lu's delicate bag

Chapter 22 Can't Sleep

The man entered the bedroom, walked to the cloakroom, and looked at several packed suitcases.

Jiaojiao has grown up and is starting to become independent, so it’s time for the two of them to live separately.

Especially in this real world, even for the so-called convenience and the reputation of the little one, she cannot continue to live under the same roof with her uncle who has no blood relationship with her.

The little girl is used to living in this house. Every place is decorated and arranged according to her preferences. There is no reason to ask her to move. It is heartbreaking to see her move out. Therefore, Lu Shize plans to move out by himself.

Shen Jiaojiao's birthday falls earlier this year according to the Gregorian calendar, and her birthday on her household registration is also according to the Gregorian calendar, so the family birthday party will be held according to this.

Since her lunar birthday was a little later, Lu Shize chose to hold her 20th birthday banquet on her lunar birthday.

But before boarding the cruise ship, the transfer procedures for the villa had been successfully completed.

After returning from the cruise, Lu Shize arranged for workers to help prepare for his move, and then he went on a busy business trip. Now, looking at the boxes lying quietly, he remembered the night on the cruise...

Jiaojiao sat leisurely in the spacious leisure area, sipping a glass of fruit wine, occasionally lowering her head and smiling sweetly.

It turns out that it’s because... Is Gu Sheng at the table separated by the vase behind him?

Chase someone.

Someone I've always wanted to meet.

Several words crowded in his mind.

He thought back to the time when they came back from the cruise ship. Among the gifts they talked about, he wondered if there was one from her boyfriend...

Male god... Wait, didn't Jiaojiao also say that Gu Sheng and she were classmates, and a teacher praised that person for his ability to answer the final question...

So, it’s Gu Sheng?

After washing up, the man went to bed. He still remembered that on the second day of his coming-of-age ceremony, it was the same man who had breakfast with Jiaojiao.

He unconsciously reached for his phone and called Shen Jiaojiao directly.

Shen Jiaojiao had just kicked the thin silk quilt under the bed and climbed down to pick it up with a groan when she heard her cell phone ringing. Seeing that it was her uncle calling, she immediately perked up and quickly picked up the phone.

"Uncle," he was very excited.

"···Hmm", the man's heart unconsciously came alive when she called him like that.

"What?" Tsk, why would a stingy guy call me at this time?

I was so annoyed that the quilt was kicked off.

The man coughed lightly. He didn't know why he made the call directly.

"You, are you asleep?"

Shen Jiaojiao pouted. What kind of question is that? If I could sleep, I would have already slept. Why are you picking up the quilt? Seeing your phone call, it's time to press it for you.

She climbed back into bed, propped up her feet and held down the quilt.

"Are you asleep?" the man asked again uncertainly.

Shen Jiaojiao hummed impatiently, and the man immediately said, "Okay, go to sleep. I won't disturb you anymore. Get some rest early." Then he was about to hang up the phone.

"Hey, what are you doing?!"

“···”.

The man on the other end of the phone didn't answer immediately. Shen Jiaojiao snorted and hung up the phone in anger... It was so confusing!

He refused to hold me, and now I'm calling him but he doesn't tell me what's going on.

The man was a little surprised when he heard the beep, but when he looked at the interface of the phone being hung up, he felt that this was indeed the little guy's usual behavior.

The man felt depressed and had to press the black phone, but before he could put the phone on the bedside table, the call from the other end came in again.

"Jiaojiao, what's wrong?" Lu Shize picked up the phone and asked hurriedly.

Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips and sighed softly, "I asked you what's wrong! Why? Uncle, you also have insomnia, haven't you slept yet?"

"Are you playing with your classmates? Chatting? Watching a movie? Or reading a novel?"

"Uncle"

"Okay, I won't ask. You go to sleep, I just made a phone call..."

Shen Jiaojiao blinked, feeling that something must have happened today that made her feel uncomfortable all over, otherwise she wouldn't be unable to sleep, but she couldn't seem to find anything wrong.

Anyway, I was extremely tired and sleepy, but I just couldn't fall asleep. I felt so uncomfortable. If I didn't fall asleep, I would probably have to go up to the 5th floor alone and watch a quiet movie. I would just stay up all night.

Without waiting for an answer, the man took the phone from his ear uncertainly and glanced at the screen. Time was passing and this time the call was not hung up.

"Jiaojiao..."

"Ok".

Shen Jiaojiao sat on the edge of the bed, took the big rabbit pillow and pounded it casually.

"Or, you sleep well and I'll read you a story."

When Shen Jiaojiao heard that her uncle wanted to read a story to her, she became happy, but she deliberately suppressed her tone and asked, "Really?"

The man listened to the rustling sounds coming from the phone and knew that the little guy had obediently lay down.

"Last time we read up to page 245. Should we listen to this? Or should we read a new one?"

"Old ones, I'll just listen to the old ones," Shen Jiaojiao said, sleeping on her side, happily holding the rabbit doll between her legs.

The man flipped through the book and read slowly. Like many times before, after reading two pages, he roughly realized that the little guy had fallen asleep.

Shen Jiaojiao fell asleep quickly, the phone against her ear. The man hung up and put the book back on the bedside table. He sent a message to Aunt Xue, asking her to go to her bedroom if she was awake, take the phone away, and cover her belly.

Not long after, Aunt Xue came in quietly, turned off Shen Jiaojiao's phone and put it away, then stuffed the rabbit doll inside, gently pulled a corner of the quilt, and covered her belly.

Finally, I checked the curtains and turned off the small bedside lamp, leaving only a circle of light on the bathroom side.

Lu Yanran, who was next door, was not asleep. She heard Shen Jiaojiao answering the phone, and also heard Aunt Xue opening the door and coming in. Not long after, she heard someone opening the door and preparing to go out.

She walked to the door, swung it open, and coughed at Aunt Xue who was about to leave. Aunt Xue quickly turned around and saw that it was Lu Yanran. She hurriedly asked softly, "Miss Lu, did I disturb you?"

Lu shook his head and said, "Aunt Xue, could you please pour me a glass of water? I'm a little thirsty."

"Of course." Aunt Xue walked back, filled the water dispenser next to the sofa with warm water, and handed it to him. "Are you still awake?"

Lu Yanran nodded, "Thank you"

Aunt Xue smiled and quickly made a 'hushing' gesture towards Lu Yanran. "Let's keep our voices down. Miss Lu is just about to fall asleep. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"Aunt Xue, you're so kind. You take such great pains to come in and take care of me every night."

Aunt Xue smiled and lowered her voice, "No, my little girl is very well behaved. Just today, my husband asked me to come in and check on her. He said he was telling her a story over the phone and was worried that it would be bad if he kept the phone next to her ear."

Seeing that Lu Yanran just nodded, Aunt Xue turned around, walked quietly to the door, opened the door very quietly, and looked back worriedly, glancing at Shen Jiaojiao who was sleeping on her side on the bed from a distance, for fear of waking her up.

Before closing the door, he smiled respectfully at Lu Yanran and said with his lips, "Go to bed early."

Looking at the closed door, Lu Yanran looked indifferently at the person lying on the soft bed in the distance.

It turns out that the call just now was really from Lu Shize.

He told her stories...
