Now that things have come to this...
Lu Yibei didn't believe that Ji Qingqian had just come to take a look.
However, Lu Yibei still sensed something from the question, "Where do I sleep?"
At least the female knight-errant didn't force herself on him and wanted to sleep in the same bed with him right away.
That's great, that's great... sigh.
No, this is fortunate; progressing too quickly might not be a good thing...
But Lu Yibei, why are you sighing?
He questioned himself, and then…
well.
Lu Yibei first asked Miss Ji to move to another spot.
He rolled up the straw mat and spread it out on the ground.
Then she took out a bed sheet from the small wardrobe and put it on the bed.
“You sleep here,” Lu Yibei said.
He pointed to the straw mat on the floor, saying, "I'll sleep here..." He knew the sheets would wrinkle too easily if laid directly on the floor.
Fortunately, the room wasn't big, but it was big enough to spread out a mat.
Ji Qingqian's eyebrows curved slightly: "Young...don't you want me to sleep on the floor?"
"Where would guests sleep on the floor?"
"Young hero, you possess noble character and integrity."
That's where noble character and integrity are found.
Lu Yibei thought to himself, "I can't let her sleep on the floor, can I?"
Even if she can fall asleep, he feels sorry for her.
The room had already been cooled down by the air conditioning. Lu Yibei tossed the remote control to Ji Qingqian: "You can adjust it as you see fit."
Ji Qing dripped twice, fixing the number at twenty-six degrees.
She kicked off her slippers and sat on the edge of the bed, her white-socked feet resting on the bamboo mat where Lu Yibei was going to sleep.
She planted her heels firmly and gently tapped her toes, appearing quite pleased.
Ji Qingqian looked around the room again and again. It was small, but she could never get enough of it.
I kept checking to make sure there were no omissions.
Lu Yibei, however, was staring at her moving feet.
“…Give me the socks,” he said.
"Uh..." Ji Qingqian frowned, as if looking at a pervert: "Didn't you eat enough tonight?"
I'm not full, God the hell!
"I'll rub it for you." Lu Yibei said helplessly, "It'll be dry by tomorrow morning, then you can wear it again."
"oh."
Ji Qingqian lifted her foot, her fingers hooking around the opening of her snow-white heel, pulling it down to her toes. After the socks came off, she wiggled her playful and rounded white toes.
Following the same method, she gave both of them to Lu Yibei.
Lu Yibei felt that no matter how he took the socks, it would be a little strange... In the end, he stopped thinking about it and went into the bathroom with the socks in his hand.
Ji Qingqian stared at his vest.
Lu Yibei has nothing to fear; he was just washing socks and didn't even close the door.
He carefully rubbed the socks.
Again and again, and again…
"Does it need to be washed for so long?" Ji Qingqian asked.
"...Can't I wash myself a little cleaner?!"
Lu Yibei then noticed... ah, it turns out it had already been rubbed several times.
"Very dirty?"
"…without."
"Hmm..." Ji Qingqian hummed softly, which sounded rather meaningful to Lu Yibei.
He immediately rinsed off the laundry detergent and planned to give it one last rinse with clean water.
Ji Qingqian added:
I'm a little hungry.
"Why don't you order some takeout?"
"I don't know what time it will take to arrive. Don't you have any food here... Hmm? Can I have this bowl of spicy beef noodles?"
"If you don't mind."
"What do I mind?" Ji Qingqian pouted. "You don't have a rich girl filter on me, do you? I often eat instant noodles when I play games with you."
As she spoke, she took the electric kettle into the bathroom.
He pushed Lu Yibei aside and started collecting water.
"Look at my skills."
She glanced at the socks again: "Scrub them a couple more times, but don't rub them to pieces."
Lu Yibei: "...Not that many."
That's strange, he was really just washing socks in a very ordinary way.
Ji Qingqian went outside and plugged in the electric kettle.
Lu Yibei clipped the white socks onto the clothes rack and then hung them out to dry on the clothesline outside the window.
The hot water has boiled.
Ji Qingqian had already put the seasoning packet into the instant noodle cup.
She poured hot water in and asked Lu Yibei, who had just come back into the bathroom, "What are you doing?"
"Looking for a toothbrush... I bought a set of three, and I should have one left."
"oh."
"Found it... This toothbrush is cheap, but it's very hard. Be careful when you brush it."
"Hmm, should I save some noodles for you?"
"Leave a sip of soup, I'll just have a taste."
"OK."
Ji Qingqian was afraid of getting Lu Yibei's bed dirty, so she sat cross-legged on the straw mat.
When she opened the instant noodle container, a familiar aroma wafted into her nose.
Lu Yibei happened to come over and sat cross-legged next to her: "Your cooking skills are quite good, heroine."
"That's right, boil the water until it's very hot," Ji Qingqian said. "Would you like to eat first?"
"You eat it, I'm fine."
"Um."
Ji Qingqian began slurping her noodles.
She didn't have that feigned reserve; she ate noodles in big bites.
But the little peach blossom's lips moved so adorably.
Looking at her, Lu Yibei felt that the food tasted even better than when he was eating noodles.
Ji Qingqian noticed Lu Yibei's gaze. She tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and asked softly, "Aren't you hungry?"
Lu Yibei wanted to say that the scenery was pleasing to the eye, but he had already been called tacky enough many times today, so he would save this shameless act for next time.
After replying to Zhao Xun with "No return" on his phone, he said to Ji Qingqian:
"You should tell your roommates, otherwise they'll worry about you."
Ji Qingqian paused, somewhat uncertain: "...What do you mean?"
Lu Yibei: ...
So you know it's not easy to tell others about staying overnight alone at a guy's house late at night, right?
