Stealing the moonlight into my arms

The light in the room was a dreamy dark purple. In the middle stood a huge round bed with a thin bed curtain hanging down. The light reflected on the gauze bed curtain, and the light flowed like water.

The humidifier in the room was emitting an ambiguous and seductive fragrance, a circle of light strips surrounded the bathtub, and flower petals had already been sprinkled in the pool.

Fu Runing couldn't stand such an ambiguous atmosphere. It was inappropriate, really inappropriate.

After all, the person next to her now is her future ex-husband. If it were someone else, she might enjoy it more.

She turned on all the lights in the room with a click.

The light in the room returned to normal.

Fu Runing coughed lightly and was about to say something when she turned around and saw all kinds of...toys on the cabinet next to her.

Different sizes, different styles, and different functions.

Some have exquisite and abstract appearances, and when the ambient light is turned on, they look like beautiful works of art.

Some of them have a very concrete appearance and are unbearable to look at.

It’s so fun to play.

Fu Runing was silent for two seconds, then she suggested seriously, "Let's change rooms."

Xiao Jingting simply asked back: "What are you minded about?"

He casually put his cell phone on the coffee table and took off his coat, obviously planning to stay here.

Fu Runing looked up at him. He was wearing a black shirt and black pants, with broad shoulders and long legs. Combined with the surrounding atmosphere, it didn't fit in, yet it somehow matched.

Today Cheng Su said she saw Fu Zheng, and they looked similar, but their temperament was different.

During these eight years, he had become only the noble and cold person of a superior, and had long since shed the aloofness and arrogance that only Fu Zheng had.

Fu Runing looked away and said awkwardly, "Why should I mind? I don't mind at all. Just give me back my ID card and everything."

Xiao Jingting took off his watch and said casually, "The certificate is kept by Chu Yi and will be given to you tomorrow morning."

"Oh."

Fu Runing stared at the men's watch placed in front of her, and as if some mechanism had been triggered, she pursed her lips slightly.

She was wondering how feasible it would be to go out and find Chu Yi, get his ID card, and then book a room.

In the moment she frowned and thought, Xiao Jingting had already walked into the bathroom to take a shower.

"Wait!" Fu Runing called out to the man in time.

Xiao Jingting turned and looked at her with a calm expression, "Why, do you want to go together?"

Together you big head ghost.

Fu Runing gritted her teeth and said, "Bring your bath towel and underwear with you, and don't ask me to bring them to you."

Xiao Jingting said lightly, "You don't mind."

Fu Runing quickly opened his suitcase and took out his toiletry bag and clean underwear from it with familiarity. They were usually specially packed so that they could be easily taken away when on a business trip.

She walked a few steps to the bathroom and put the things in his hands. "Dress warmly and come out. It's not appropriate for us to do this now."

Xiao Jingting took the things from her hand, said nothing, turned around and walked into the bathroom.

Fortunately, the bathroom is a proper bathroom, so there are no fully transparent, no-angle bathing photos to watch today.

Fu Runing opened her suitcase. She had packed it when she left in the morning, and the combination lock had not been opened. It seemed that only the things that were exposed, such as her computer and wallet, had been packed away.

There was a dull thunder outside the window. She lifted a corner of the curtain, only to see heavy rain beating against the window. The night rain came quickly and fiercely.

Within ten minutes, Xiao Jingting came out of the bathroom after taking a shower.

Fu Runing walked in with the clothes.

Xiao Jingting sat down on the sofa and replied to a few messages. Fu Runing's phone on the table happened to vibrate.

He took a look and saw that it was an unfamiliar number from Shengzhou City.

This is Fu Runing’s new mobile phone number, and not many people know it.

Xiao Jingting stared at the phone number for a moment, his eyes a little gloomy, and he swiped the answer button.

He didn't say anything, waiting for the other party to speak first.

There was a moment of silence before a man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Ningning, are you listening?"

Xiao Jingting's eyes suddenly became dark, the knuckles of his fingers holding the phone were distinct, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging.

He raised his eyes and looked through the window that was not blocked by curtains, gazing at the vast rainy night.

There was a hint of loneliness and desolation in his cold eyes, late at night.

"Ningning..."

The voice on the phone continued.

Xiao Jingting hung up the phone directly.

He remembered the voice, it was the man named Feng Yan.

It was also during these years that Fu Runing called him "little brother" more than once in her sleep.

……

Fu Runing dried her hair before coming out of the bathroom.

She was so sleepy that she didn't want to discuss with Xiao Jingting how to allocate the bed tonight. She just wanted to fall asleep.

But Xiao Jingting was just sitting on the sofa with no expression on his face.

The light fell on his cool and handsome face. When he raised his eyes and their eyes met, his eyes were half deep and half dark.

Fu Runing was too sleepy to ask him.

Who knows why he is unhappy again.

I didn't provoke him.

Fu Runing walked past the man, lifted the quilt and lay down on the bed. Although the bed looked informal, it was quite comfortable to sleep on.

She turned off the bedside lamp on her side and the light dimmed.

Fu Runing closed her eyes and was about to go to sleep when the lights in the room suddenly dimmed, the bed suddenly sank, and she was flipped over by a force coming from behind.

The man had the same scent of shower gel on him as her, and his calloused hands rested on her waist.

Fu Runing was startled, but she relaxed her tense body in an instant and said helplessly, "Xiao Jingting, this is exactly what you did wrong. I slapped you again this time, and you told me to get out again?"

"Why are you like this? Are you addicted?"

"My ID card is still with you and it's been confiscated. If I get out, I'll end up living on the streets..."

Before she could finish her words, the man covered her lips with his palm, stopping her from talking.

The room was so quiet that only the sound of the two people breathing could be heard.

The room was only dimly lit by the ambient light. Fu Runing looked closely at the man's deep eyes. His eyes were full of possessiveness, like a lion staring at its prey before hunting.

"Hmm..." Fu Runing was afraid that she would be suffocated to death by him, so she reached out to pry his palm open.

The man loosened his grip, giving her a chance to breathe.

But the next moment, Xiao Jingting's voice rang in her ears——

"Fu Runing, what are the conditions for sleeping with me?"

She thought that she was probably destined to be homeless today.

Fu Runing smiled indifferently and said lightly: "Of course it's money, but like you said, I've made enough now, and I don't want it anymore."

The man glared at her in the darkness, his voice tinged with sarcasm. "So three years ago, you'd go after anyone with money?"

Fu Runing listened to his sarcastic words, and the scene in front of her eyes became slightly blurry.

She said slowly: "At that time, my only choice was you. If you didn't agree, I would have no other choice."

She just didn't have a choice.

Isn't this the answer we already know?

Xiao Jingting suddenly felt bored.

Fu Runing felt the weight on her body lighten as the man lay down beside her.

No more words were exchanged between the two.

Fu Runing moved to the outside of the bed, arched her back and curled up, trying to make her presence as small as possible.

There was a slight dull pain in her chest. She pressed the base of her palm against her aching heart and found that her fingers were trembling slightly.

Really, she was so scared that her old illness was about to flare up.

Fu Runing opened her mouth and breathed slowly. After a while, the uncomfortable feeling in her chest began to gradually subside.

Xiao Jingting calmed down and heard that her breathing was not right. He turned on the bedside lamp and leaned over to put his arm around her shoulders.

Fu Runing finally recovered from her shock, but when he touched her like that, she almost exploded. "What are you doing again!"

Xiao Jingting felt that her voice was normal and her voice was loud, so she was fine.

He said indifferently, "I was afraid you would faint from crying again. If something happened, I would really become a suspect."

Fu Runing stared at him warily, "I'm not crying."

She remembered what Xiao Jingting said, which happened when she was fifteen years old.

At that time, her family had a dog named Maomao, who was raised by her father and mother after they got married. Her mother raised Maomao before she became pregnant, thinking that she would have a puppy to play with after the child was born.

When Maomao was four years old, Fu Runing was born. That was also the year Maomao lost his beloved mistress.

Fu Runing likes Maomao very much. It is a gift left to her by her mother. Maomao has accompanied her as she grew up and grew old year by year. Every time the dog was sick, she would pray by its side that it would stay healthy and accompany her longer. In the end, Maomao worked hard to live to the age of twenty, almost reaching the limit of a dog's lifespan. He really accompanied her for a very long time.

On the day Maomao died, she cried until her eyes were swollen. She woke up in the middle of the night and cried again. She cried until she was out of breath, her whole body was numb, and she had cramps. She thought she was going to die, and she couldn't shout or move.

At that moment, Fu Zheng pushed the door open and came in, calling her name in her ear. He covered her mouth and nose with his palm and said in her ear: "Breathe through your nose, slowly..."

His other hand gently stroked her back, repeating the same words over and over again.

Later, her family sent her to the hospital. She had respiratory alkalosis. She cried too hard and breathed too quickly, which led to a lack of carbon dioxide and she passed out from crying.

Dad said that it was a good thing that Fu Zheng slept late that day, otherwise something serious would have happened.

Fu Runing later recalled that that was probably one of the few times Fu Zheng spoke to her nicely and was very patient.

Just one year later, Fu Zheng also passed away.

Thoughts came back.

Suddenly, the dead silence was broken by a sound outside the room, a "bang", like the sound of someone kicking the door in the next room.

Fu Runing looked towards the door of the room in confusion.

The hotel room had good soundproofing, but it couldn't withstand the noise from outsiders starting right at someone else's door...

A female voice with anxious panting came into the room, "Hubby, don't be anxious, why can't this door be opened? Did you remember the room number wrong... Um... Don't... It's still outside..."

The woman's voice sounded full of twists and turns, and any man would feel his bones go weak after hearing it.

Outside the door, a man's voice shouted urgently, "Outside is outside, what's the problem? This floor is for us, there are no cameras on the baby..."

"It's not good if others see us, husband, hmm..."

"Baby, don't be afraid. Everyone else is having a group sex, what are we doing?"

"Honey, it's so exciting outside..."

“It’s exciting!”

……

Fu Runing listened to the inappropriate conversation between children coming out of the door, and the expression on her face was hard to describe.

Soon, the sound of conversation outside died down and was replaced by something even more shameful.

It's unbearable to listen to, it's in full swing.

Looking back at Xiao Jingting, he acted like a normal person, as if he didn't hear anything happening outside.

Five minutes later, the two people outside, not knowing whether it was halftime or the end of a round, finally realized that they might have opened the wrong room door. The two of them stayed outside for a while before leaving together.

Silence finally returned to the doorway.

Fu Runing touched her ear awkwardly, and when she raised her eyes, her gaze met Xiao Jingting's, which made her even more embarrassed.

Xiao Jingting looked at her with disgust.

The man frowned slightly and explained impatiently: "I'm not playing outside."

Fu Runing leaned against the headboard, folded her arms and looked at him, still smiling, "Why are you so anxious? I didn't say you were playing outside."

He didn't have group sex outside, which only meant that he was not that perverted or extreme.

But it is true that he raised a younger sister.

Does he think that since other women who spend money can accept group sex, why can't she accept this?

Xiao Jingting saw that she didn't know what she was thinking about, so he turned off the light and said, "Go to sleep."

Fu Runing lay down with her back to him, and this messy day finally ended.

She let out a long sigh of relief.

The next morning.

Fu Runing got up with huge dark circles under her eyes.

She counted sheep over and over again, but she stayed awake until dawn.

If Xiao Jingting snored, she could take the opportunity to complain about blaming him wrongly, but he was an excellent sleeper. He didn't snore, talk in his sleep, grind his teeth, or toss over. When he was asleep, he was no different from a dead person.

Xiao Jingting is a man of few words. Even when they were in bed before, he didn't say a word and was as indifferent as a service-oriented client.

His service spirit was developed after she made trouble for him a few times.

After a quick breakfast at the hotel, Fu Runing followed Xiao Jingting back to Shengzhou.

The emotions at night cannot be brought into the day. Even if there is a lot of noise, you have to pretend to be a bright, respectable and loving couple in front of others.

She still had to sit in the car with Xiao Jingting calmly again.

Chu Yi handed Fu Runing's things back to her and asked politely and friendly, "Madam, did you sleep well last night?"

Fu Runing smiled, "I'm fine, how about you?"

Chu Yi hesitated for a moment before saying, "I feel this hotel is not clean."

"Oh? Why is it not clean?" Fu Runing, who was still dozing off, perked up a little.

This hotel is really not very clean.

"It's just... I went to bed early last night, and when I was half asleep, I heard intermittent noises in the floor, as if there were a lot of people talking in the mezzanine. It was so loud, I was so sleepy that I fell asleep. Later, I didn't know if it was midnight or the early morning, but I heard the noise again... It was like..."

Fu Runing quickly asked, "What does it look like?"

Chu Yi stammered, "It sounded like a lot of female ghosts were wailing... I was so scared, I don't know if I was dreaming or what. This hotel is so enchanting, I was completely lost in my sleep."

Fu Runing chuckled twice, very supportive, "Wow, it's still a sexy ghost, it seems that little brother is going to have a romantic encounter."

Xiao Jingting poured cold water on her from the side, "Weird powers, superstition, feudalism."

Chu Yi asked in surprise: "Madam, didn't you hear that strange sound last night?"

Of course Fu Runing heard it, and heard it very clearly, almost like she was listening to it live.

At this time, her cell phone rang again. It was an unfamiliar number from Shengzhou.

Whose phone is this?

Xiao Jingting, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and watched her press the answer button.
