Chapter 14 Let's try lying down...
Chapter 14
Luo Xiaoran's smooth combo left Chu Xingli completely bewildered, plunging her into deep self-doubt.
Chu Xingli was seriously injured in the car accident, so since being discharged from the hospital, she doesn't often think about things that make her mind go blank.
Today is one of the rare occasions like this.
...As for why she inexplicably agreed to lie in the same bed and sleep with Luo Xiaoran.
It wasn't time to rest yet, so the cameras that the production crew had set up in the room beforehand hadn't been covered.
The viewers in the live stream could clearly see the interaction between the two in the room and were extremely excited.
[It's obvious that Hugs is at the barbecue.]
[Those involved are often blinded by their own perspective; hugs: That day I was standing in the room, and I couldn't tell the difference between Biluochun and Tieguanyin at all]
As the weather gets colder, watching some heartwarming romance shows before bed is a pleasant way to lift your spirits.
Sisters, pay attention to the title! This is a divorce reality show; it'll only make you feel colder.
[Look at Ranzi, does he look like he's planning to get a divorce? I'm too embarrassed to call him out on it.]
"You can sleep on the right side," Luo Xiaoran said to Chu Xingli, glancing at the window on the left side of the bed.
As the weather gets colder, the area near the window is always cooler than the side further inside.
Chu Xingli usually prefers to sleep on the right side.
It is difficult to evoke emotional resonance between two people when one person has no feelings for the other.
Chu Xingli was like that at this moment. He was completely unaware of Luo Xiaoran's deliberate care and thought it was just a coincidence.
"Let's try lying down for a bit."
Upon hearing Luo Xiaoran say this, Chu Xingli couldn't help but glance at him warily.
The idea of divorce was deeply ingrained and unshakable in Chu Xingli's mind. He simply believed that he and Luo Xiaoran were just partners participating in a program together.
Once the cooling-off period for divorce is over, and they respect the spirit of the contract and finish recording the show, they will be free to live happily ever after, and their lives will never have any more entanglements.
Therefore, Chu Xingli had to be wary of her ex-husband, who had clearly expressed that he still liked her.
"I'm worried I might accidentally bump into you while I'm sleeping." Luo Xiaoran's tone was sincere. When she looked at people, her beautifully shaped double eyelids softened considerably under the shadow of the indoor light, completely lacking their usual aggressiveness.
Seeing that Luo Xiaoran maintained a gentle and unassuming attitude, Chu Xingli began to reflect on whether she had been overthinking things.
Luo Xiaoran probably doesn't have that many wicked thoughts at all.
He came to his senses, sat down on the edge of the bed, patted the soft blanket, and said a little awkwardly, "Then lie down... I'll give it a try."
Luo Xiaoran obediently lay down.
Chu Xingli tried her best to stay close to the far right edge of the bed, wanting to avoid touching Luo Xiaoran as much as possible, and also to avoid getting in his way.
But Luo Xiaoran, who was so big, was lying alive on his left.
The bed was only two meters long. Including the width of the pillow, Luo Xiaoran could not stretch out his long legs at all when he lay on it.
Chu Xingli is not short at 1.83 meters, and he is used to resting his head on the edge of the pillow, so his legs can only be bent. Like Luo Xiaoran, he felt a little awkward in this scene.
They lay there quietly for a while, both of them propping up their long legs because the bed wasn't long enough, and neither of them spoke.
Good heavens, those two have legs longer than I have a life!
Many beds are 1.8m x 2.0m, but they are clearly too small for the two of them.
Chu Xingli felt that she couldn't continue like this and had to find a way to solve the problem.
So he got out of bed: "I'll go ask the production crew if they have any solutions."
I dragged two chairs over and placed them at the foot of the bed, figuring I'd make do for the night.
Luo Xiaoran also sat up.
As soon as Chu Xingli left the room, he took a piece of clothing to cover the camera, then took out a medicine box from his suitcase and absentmindedly put a few pills into his mouth.
Chu Xingli grabbed a coat from the sofa, draped it over her shoulders, and walked out of the room.
He had only taken two steps when he heard an argument coming from the next room.
Actually, the soundproofing of this house is quite good, but the people arguing inside are too loud.
Chu Xingli was then able to hear it clearly.
"Me? You want me to get out? You think I want to sleep in the same room as you? If I hadn't had no other choice, I would have left tonight!" Qiao Manyun cursed. "Fat, thick, and bloated, with such a big belly, it disgusts me just looking at you!"
Bao Keming was furious: "You think I want to see you? Don't you know your place? Do you still think you're some young maiden?!"
The two of them had been pretending all day, but they finally couldn't keep up the act anymore.
While everyone was washing up and tidying up in the room, unable to hear their argument, they quickly covered the monitor and turned off the microphone, taking advantage of the time to hurl insults at each other and vent their emotions.
Chu Xingli hadn't taken off his microphone yet; he was standing at the door eating melon seeds, and the viewers in the live stream could only hear the noise.
[Oh my god! What happened?! Let us see!]
[Ahhh, this is live footage of the drama, so exciting!]
[laughs] At this distance, with this sound quality, I suspect Hug was practically pressed against the door to hear it.
"Ha, you want a young girl, huh?" Qiao Manyun slammed her hand on the table. "I think you're the young girl!"
Bao Keming, known for his womanizing ways, didn't care about revealing his true nature in front of Qiao Manyun: "What's wrong with you? Ask any man if he doesn't like it!"
"Don't think I don't know how many little vixens you've been keeping on the side," Qiao Manyun cursed through gritted teeth. "When we get back this time, I'll get rid of them all, men and women alike!"
A pillow hit the door, and Chu Xingli instinctively dodged it. When he turned around, he saw Luo Xiaoran coming out behind him.
“It’s cold outside, you should go back,” Luo Xiaoran helped him pull up his loose sleeves. “I’ll go find some staff.”
Seeing that Luo Xiaoran was dressed so lightly, Chu Xingli couldn't help but ask with concern, "Why aren't you wearing a coat—"
Chu Xingli swallowed back the second half of his sentence, "Your illness is not cured yet."
Because he discovered that Luo Xiaoran's coat was currently on his body.
Even if Luo Xiaoran wanted to wear it, he wouldn't have anything to wear.
Chu Xingli looked at him embarrassedly: "...I'm sorry, I'll take it off and return it to you right now."
However, Luo Xiaoran was always one step ahead of him.
Before Chu Xingli could even take off her sleeves, Luo Xiaoran had already deftly zipped up her coat, trapping Chu Xingli securely inside the warm fabric.
Chu Xingli: "..."
[Bao Keming: Okay, okay, so this is how you play it? A young couple is being all lovey-dovey outside my door.]
What exactly happened between Baobao and Ranzi that made them want to get a divorce?
[These two faces that drive me crazy absolutely cannot break up! Absolutely!]
Am I watching a divorce reality show or a dating reality show?!
Before Luo Xiaoran could let go, Zhu Ji opened the door and walked out of the room diagonally opposite, with Lin Ning following behind. The two of them talked with their heads down, and after taking a few steps, they turned back to look at the facilities in the room.
Zhu Ji and Lin Ning were assigned a standard twin room, so Zhu Ji was very unhappy and wore a long face.
"There's nothing to be upset about," Lin Ning rubbed his arm and coaxed him with a smile, "Except for Xing Li and Xiao Ran's group, everyone else has a standard double room with twin beds."
Besides, their two rooms are even bigger than Zhou Ge and Lu Jie's standard rooms, which is already quite good.
Zhu Ji was still unhappy: "Then I'll push the bed over there in a bit, I want to be with you."
Lin Ning rubbed her stomach: "But I'm so hungry now, I didn't eat enough for dinner."
Zhu Ji glanced at the time and took his hand: "It's only a little past eight o'clock. Let's go downstairs to the kitchen and find something to eat."
The two reached an agreement and turned around at the same time. They were startled by Chu Xingli, who was standing by the wall watching the scene with a maternal smile. When they looked up, they saw Luo Xiaoran beside him and were shocked.
What are you two doing here?!
Chu Xingli looked up at the ceiling: "I came out for a walk."
Luo Xiaoran added, "I accompanied him on a walk."
"Oh..." Lin Ning's tone was obedient and soft, "Zhu Ji and I are going downstairs to find something to eat, do you want to come with us?"
"Oh, I was just about to stop eating, I'm not going to eat anything," Chu Xingli waved her hand, as she still had things to do with the staff. "You guys go ahead."
.
Lin Ning is a very shy person and was embarrassed to openly sneak into the kitchen to steal... no... take something to eat while everyone was still awake.
The main reason was that Luo Xiaoran's stewed goose smelled so good that Lin Ning couldn't stop thinking about it even after returning to her room to go to sleep.
He wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully if he didn't eat a single bite tonight.
Lin Ning put the remaining goose meat in a pot to heat it up, and while waiting, she went upstairs to get her thermos.
Surprisingly, when I returned, the fire had been turned off, and I could still faintly hear a chewing sound.
The sound was very subtle, like a kitten or puppy tasting a can of food.
Lin Ning turned on the light.
In the bright light, the goose thief had nowhere to hide.
Chu Xingli stood up from behind Zhongdao, holding a goose leg and looking embarrassed.
"Xingli, didn't you say..." Lin Ning wondered for a moment if she had remembered wrong, otherwise why would Xingli eat so openly? "Didn't you say you were going to cut off the supply of liquids?"
“I bit off the goose leg in the middle of the night…” Chu Xingli held the goose leg, her brain racing, trying to find a good excuse to justify herself.
Luo Xiaoran: "..."
Lin Ning and Zhu Ji: "..."
[This isn't Baobao's fault; I can vouch for it. The stewed goose was incredibly delicious, especially when it was cooked again for the second meal—it was even more flavorful.]
[Bite off a goose leg... I have to admit, my dog's bite force is comparable to that of an adult hyena]
[Liquid interruption = continuous eating at night]
[Hugs, let's drink the soup later, that'll count as the end of the illness]
