Chapter 70 Let me share your pain...
Chapter 70
Luo Xiaoran was worried that Chu Xingli would catch a cold.
They suggested they go home earlier today.
"Wait a little longer," Chu Xingli looked westward, her bright eyes reflecting the setting sun. "Look over there, how beautiful it is."
Luo Xiaoran turned his head in the direction Chu Xingli pointed, looked for a while, and then silently shifted his gaze to Chu Xingli's face.
My mother loves the sunset.
But he likes the sunrise.
Every sunrise that brings a hug to his pillow.
Luo Xiaoran lowered his head.
Seeing that Bao Bao was still holding her hand, she squeezed back a little tighter.
Chu Xingli felt the force and turned to look at him.
"Doesn't your hand hurt?"
Luo Xiaoran is left-handed.
"It doesn't hurt." He smiled and shook his head, raising his hand to gently touch Chu Xingli's hair, which was ruffled by the wind.
As the sun set, the two stood side by side and bowed solemnly to the tombstone once more.
On the way back, Luo Xiaoran drove.
Chu Xingli gets tired easily. After fiddling with her phone absentmindedly for a few moments, she leaned back on her headrest and started looking at the scenery outside the window. She fell asleep in no time.
Luo Xiaoran slowed down the car so that he could sleep peacefully.
.
When Chu Xingli woke up again, it was already quite dark.
Luo Xiaoran did not disturb him.
"Hmm..."
He groggily opened his eyes and saw that the car was already parked in the underground garage. He then tried to pick up his phone to check the time.
Unfortunately, the light was too dim, and he had carelessly tossed his phone somewhere while sleeping; he couldn't find it after searching for a while.
The sound of fabric rubbing against each other came from the driver's seat.
The next moment, Chu Xingli realized that Luo Xiaoran was holding her hand and then shoved the phone into his hand.
"Take it."
Luo Xiaoran's words of advice were not without meaning.
When a person has just woken up, their hands are always weak, and they can't even clench their fists slightly.
If he hadn't said anything, given his drowsy state of mind, he might have indeed dropped his phone into the seat again.
Chu Xingli tightened her fingers, inevitably feeling the lingering warmth of Luo Xiaoran's hand on the back of the phone.
...Why is it so hot? It feels like I'm being held in someone's hand the whole time.
It's already late autumn.
Without the transition of body temperature, the temperature of a mobile phone can easily become cooler than it feels to the touch.
Luo Xiaoran thought that Chu Xingli had just woken up and her body temperature was a little high.
If you suddenly grab a cold phone, you'll definitely get a fright.
So while waiting for Chu Xingli to wake up, he kept the other person's phone in his hand, keeping it warm.
To prevent Chu Xingli from shivering from the cold when she wakes up and looks for her phone.
"Thank you." Chu Xingli had obviously figured this out as well, and looked at Luo Xiaoran with a light smile.
Luo Xiaoran raised an eyebrow slightly, indicating that Bao Bao should relax and do her own thing.
Chu Xingli then remembered that she needed to check the time, so she looked down and turned on the screen.
"Good heavens, how did it get so late?" Chu Xingli slapped his forehead in frustration.
He didn't control his strength well, and with a crisp sound, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Does it hurt?" Luo Xiaoran asked, his warm palm already touching Chu Xingli's forehead, gently rubbing it a couple of times.
Chu Xingli felt that she probably did have some indescribable problem.
During this period of time, no matter where he felt unwell, as long as Luo Xiaoran touched him slightly, he would feel better.
...and this moment is no exception.
"It's okay, let me hug you," Luo Xiaoran wasn't the kind of single-celled brain that could only handle one thing at a time. After rubbing Chu Xingli's forehead, he didn't forget to bring up the topic again and comfort him, "It's only around seven o'clock now, it's not late."
After he finished speaking, he asked again, "Is there any other arrangement?"
Luo Xiaoran fully respects Chu Xingli's freedom.
By asking this question, he was naturally prepared for the possibility that Chu Xingli might go to any place.
Even nightclubs.
"Hmm..." Chu Xingli rubbed the bridge of her nose. "I promised to send a message back to the director."
Upon hearing that it was related to the chief director, Luo Xiaoran silently breathed a sigh of relief.
...It's best not to go to nightclubs, of course.
Having spent so much time together, Chu Xingli naturally learned a lot about understanding people's hearts from Luo Xiaoran.
Although the light inside the car was dim, he still caught a glimpse of relaxation in Luo Xiaoran's eyes.
After a moment's thought, Chu Xingli understood the reason for Luo Xiaoran's emotions.
Unexpectedly, she had a mischievous glint in her eye and couldn't help but tease Luo Xiaoran with a smile, saying, "Actually, I'm going to a nightclub."
As expected, the moment Chu Xingli finished speaking, the smile on Luo Xiaoran's lips faded slightly.
It wasn't actually that obvious, but given how close Chu Xingli was to him, it was naturally very clear.
"Okay, I'm just teasing you. I promised the director I'd do a live stream with everyone today," Chu Xingli said, naturally straightening Luo Xiaoran's collar. "It won't be for very long."
The reason why Luo Xiaoran did not receive a message from the director inviting him to participate in the live broadcast was because this live broadcast was not originally included in the contract.
The director was genuinely embarrassed to bother him, but also wanted to use a roundabout tactic.
Let's see if we can get Luo Xiaoran to make an appearance by asking Xiao Chu to do a live stream.
After listening to Chu Xingli's words, Luo Xiaoran nodded with a normal expression, turned around, opened the door, and got out of the car.
He deliberately turned his back, but he still couldn't hide the satisfied smile on his face after Chu Xingli straightened his collar.
The corners of her lips were turned up, and it was really hard to suppress them.
*
Chu Xingli changed into her pajamas, nestled into the soft sofa by the French windows, and entered the live broadcast room.
Good evening everyone~ Sorry I'm late~
[Ahhh, hug me~ My wife~]
[My wife is so sweet, I'm swooning! (slurping)]
Stop sucking, bro! I just picked up dog poop (doge)
[After a busy day, I came back to find myself trending on social media. Oh no, haha!]
I'm standing right here today, let's see who dares to laugh at my wife picking up dog poop!
[Where's Ranzi? Is he cooking?]
Chu Xingli took a nap in the car and felt much better.
Now you can even clearly see the rapidly scrolling comments in the live stream's comment section.
“Yes, he’s cooking,” Chu Xingli said, taking a sip of water. “I’ll go out in a bit to see if it’s convenient for him to say hello to everyone.”
Considering Luo Xiaoran's mood today, Chu Xingli certainly wouldn't make a big deal out of it and say something like an order to Luo Xiaoran in front of netizens and viewers.
...Besides, even if it weren't today, he wouldn't have done it.
When two people are together, they should always love each other as equals, and it should never be one of them obeying the other.
Attracted by the diverse comments in the live stream, Chu Xingli was completely unaware that his thoughts were almost identical to the way he interacted with Luo Xiaoran before he lost his memory.
Just as Chu Xingli saw the comments section in the live stream mocking him, he heard Zhou Maidong teasing him.
"Xingli, I heard you picked up the dog's poop again today?"
Even Zhou Maidong, who is usually quite oblivious, found the topic of "Chu Xingli and the dog" to be utterly ridiculous.
After Chu Xingli entered the live broadcast room and greeted everyone, he immediately asked this question.
Chu Xingli: "..."
Okay, even Brother Zhou knows, so who else wouldn't?
“If you say that, Xing Li will lose face.” Lu Yunxin, wearing a face mask, walked over from behind, sat down next to Zhou Maidong, and nudged his shoulder.
Just as Chu Xingli was about to thank Sister Lu for saving his face, he heard Lu Yunxin continue, "Xingli was just being kind; he couldn't be stopped from picking it up."
Chu Xingli: "..."
very good.
As expected of Sister Lu.
Chu Xingli stopped struggling and simply gave up.
He casually leaned back in the beanbag chair, propped his chin up with one hand, and glanced down at the comments section of the live stream.
[Hug, don't get so close, I'll get shy (twist the hem of her clothes)]
[Brother Zhou's attack power is incredibly strong; he doesn't even have a skill animation delay before unleashing his ultimate.]
Sincerity is indeed the ultimate weapon; Hugs simply couldn't handle Brother Zhou's blunt questions.
[Look how angry I am with my wife, haha (sorry, hugs, but I really find it hilarious)]
["Xing Li was just being kind; he couldn't be stopped from picking it up."]
Please, let Ranzi appear on camera to give us a hug and help us get back on track! o(╥﹏╥)o
[Hugs, seriously, can't you and Ranzi have a match for me?]
Chu Xingli: "..."
Words that are offensive and offensive.
He shouldn't have read the comments.
It's making people... restless and anxious.
Just as Chu Xingli was overwhelmed by the excessive enthusiasm in the comments section, Lin Ning and Zhu Ji entered the live stream.
Seeing Zhu Ji craning his neck and staring intently at the screen, trying to decipher the text, Chu Xingli felt a cold sweat inexplicably break out on his forehead.
...He had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Zhu Daniu never misses any opportunity to demonstrate that his Chinese has indeed improved.
"...Brother Ranzi," Zhu Ji said slowly, tapping on the comment he was reading to slow down the scrolling of the live chat, "You absolutely mustn't give up on checking Baobao's educational background, otherwise..."
Zhu Ji didn't even have a chance to finish his sentence before Lin Ning pounced on him and covered his mouth.
"Huh?!" Zhu Ji's blue eyes were full of doubt.
Lin Ning was so angry at him that she almost fainted.
Just now, as Zhu Ji walked towards the table, he opened the live stream and began to show off his Chinese, randomly picking a passage to read.
At first glance, the sentence seemed unremarkable, but once the whole sentence was read aloud, it sent a chill down one's spine.
Lin Ning thought that as long as her attitude wasn't firm enough, Zhu Ji would easily continue to press her for answers.
So, gritting his teeth, he whispered the command in Zhu Ji's ear: "Shut up!"
Zhu Ji was completely subdued and obedient. No matter what Lin Ning said, he did it obediently and kept quiet when told to.
Chu Xingli: "..."
He has already become a Buddhist.
Chu Xingli often wondered why, even though his hospital stay wasn't particularly long, the internet seemed to have left him far behind after he was discharged.
Especially the wild and raunchy words of these greedy girls, they just barged into his live stream like a fresh-faced flower.
[Thank you, Zhu Daniu, the world is a better place because of you (clutching heart)]
[This wave has barely subsided before another one rises; Hugs isn't even struggling anymore, haha]
[Hilarious! Ningning is always on the front lines protecting Baobao!]
[It's obvious that Ningning really had murderous intent the moment she covered her mouth, hahaha]
[Ningning: Zhu Daniu, you really make me feel ashamed o(╥﹏╥)o]
Chu Xingli was very satisfied with today's live broadcast environment.
Because Bao Keming and Qiao Manyun were nowhere to be seen, and Zhao Anyu, whom he found repulsive at first sight.
Chu Xingli roughly guessed Zhao Anyu's future fate... it was all arranged by Luo Xiaoran.
However, he did not object.
After all, even if Zhao Anyu did not succeed that day, it could not be a reason for Chu Xingli to forgive him.
Those who harbor malicious intentions deserve to be punished.
Such people are worthless and do not deserve to appear in the public eye, as they set a bad example for the general public.
Chu Xingli and Lin Ning were chatting happily when they suddenly heard Luo Xiaoran talking to someone in the living room.
He couldn't help but feel very curious.
Who else would come to their house at this time?
"It seems like we have guests. I'll go out and see who it is..."
Today's live stream was originally just a chat, and Chu Xingli was very relaxed, able to chat about anything with everyone.
Chu Xingli quietly opened the door a crack and peeked out through the crack.
After recognizing who was sitting on the sofa, he nervously swallowed.
"Oh no, my sister's here."
From childhood to adulthood, Chu Xingli was always afraid of her eldest sister.
The few beatings I received as a child all came from my eldest sister.
...The eldest brother comes second.
The eldest brother beat him more severely, while the eldest sister beat him more frequently than the eldest brother.
Neither of them is pleasant.
Therefore, sometimes he was even more afraid of his eldest sister than his eldest brother.
After all, the eldest sister not only took matters into her own hands, but also managed to control the eldest brother as her henchman, causing even greater trauma to Chu Xingli's young mind.
Although Chu Xingli did nothing wrong today, this deep-seated awe cannot be easily erased.
[Haha, the stolen feeling of that hug is so strong]
Honey, hold your phone tighter, or I'll feel like I'm doing something thief' with you.
Why is Hug so afraid of her older sister? (A sincere question)
I've heard about how Miss Chu fiercely confronted her ex-husband's entire family; it was incredibly satisfying!
[Having family backing you up is really great. Her ex-husband betrayed her, and the rich girl ruined his future without any mercy. She's a role model for us all.]
Girls, you absolutely cannot be love-struck; this kind of behavior is utterly unforgivable!
"I'll go see him."
After chatting with Luo Xiaoran for a while, Ye Yan suggested going to her room to see her younger brother.
"Big sister, Baobao might be resting."
Luo Xiaoran knew that Chu Xingli was afraid of her older sister, so he subconsciously thought of finding an excuse to help her with the hug.
We'll hold on as long as we can.
"It's alright, I'll go in and check on him. If he's sleeping, I'll come out," Ye Yan said with a smile.
Luo Xiaoran didn't want to stop him too much, so he nodded and went back to the kitchen to cook.
Besides checking on Luo Xiaoran's condition, Ye Yan also wanted to find out about her younger brother's situation.
According to Gu Zezhou, Xingli is indeed slowly recovering.
Ye Yan still wanted to see the specific progress herself.
However, what she just said was a lie to Luo Xiaoran.
...Xiao Ran dotes on his younger brother too much.
If things continue like this, what if Xing Li decides that her current situation is good and gives up on reminiscing about the days she spent with Xiao Ran?
"Come on, Didi," Ye Yan said, holding Da Bao, who had just learned to walk, in one arm and placing her hand on the doorknob of Chu Xingli's bedroom. "Let's go in and see if Uncle is up yet?"
"It's over, it's over," Chu Xingli gasped softly, "They're in."
Chu Xingli leaped onto the bed and nimbly slipped under the covers.
He covered himself up completely.
During this time, he also made sure to give some instructions to the viewers in the live stream:
"I'm not going to say anything now. I can't let my sister find out I'm awake."
After all, he suddenly remembered one of his crimes—
I didn't reply to my older sister's message.
That's absolutely heinous.
I'm seriously impressed by the way Hug's face folds; even with this lighting and this terrible angle, she still looks so good o(╥﹏╥)o
[W-Was this so sudden? (Nervous)]
[Hugs, aren't we being a little too ambiguous? (blushing face.jpg)]
Haha, things are progressing so fast, it's kind of embarrassing!
I'm feeling better now, and I can even get into Hugs and Ranzi's bed again!
[Hugs, so what's our relationship now? (shy and shy.jpg)]
"Uncle~"
As Didi's sweet, childlike voice drew closer, Chu Xingli deduced that this was her eldest sister's scheme.
First, she put the baby on her bed to entice him to stick his head out.
If he actually crawls out from under the covers, there's a high chance he'll be caught by his older sister.
"Little Uncle~"
The sweet, childlike voice continued to draw closer.
Chu Xingli's heart softened as she was called by the little one's voice.
I wish I could kick off the covers, hug my little nephew, and kiss him dozens of times.
Ye Yan doesn't have much patience.
At that very moment, it was completely used up.
Ye Yan yanked off Chu Xingli's blanket.
His younger brother, who was huddled under the covers, was suddenly exposed.
"Hey, you're not asleep, are you?" Ye Yan crossed her arms and looked down at her little brother, who was lying on the bed in a strange position.
Helpless, Chu Xingli jumped out of bed.
He chuckled twice and waved to his older sister, "Ha, ha, ha, older sister, what a coincidence."
He has a poor memory; the moment his older sister pulled back the covers, he was only focused on adjusting his collar.
He no longer remembered the phone that had been tossed aside and was lying face up.
"Explain why you haven't replied to my messages."
Ye Yan knew that Chu Xingli only reported good news and not bad news. She asked him if he had been feeling unwell recently, but did not receive an answer.
It's highly likely that the lie about the hug couldn't be told, so he subconsciously avoided it.
So ultimately, it still feels uncomfortable.
How could Ye Yan not feel sorry for him?
You can feel the older sister's imposing presence even through the screen.
The moment I saw my older sister's face, I knew whose fault it was!
[Hugs! How could you not reply to your older sister's messages? If you won't reply, I will! (Snatches the phone)]
[Big sister, please consider me for your next relationship. (bows)]
Chu Xingli arrived in the living room, ready to be interrogated by her eldest sister.
Ye Yan certainly wouldn't ask her little brother questions that would embarrass him in front of so many people in the live stream.
She has a good personality and easily blends into the atmosphere, chatting happily with Lin Ning and Zhu Ji.
As the seasons change, Frozen Pear, Er Gou, and Boxer's fur often flies everywhere.
Fortunately, Luo Xiaoran cleans up regularly, so cat hair doesn't get everywhere in the house.
However, Er Gou was too lively.
It was to the extent that even the energetic Chu Xingli couldn't handle it.
Just as Chu Xingli was sitting properly at the table chatting with her eldest sister, the sturdy Er Gou suddenly jumped onto the table with a "duang".
Whether intentionally or not, it blocked Chu Xingli's phone with its body, its thick tail held high.
She seemed to be in a good mood, as if she wanted to get Chu Xingli to play with her by interrupting him.
Before Chu Xingli could finish speaking to her eldest sister, seeing this situation, she casually shoved Er Gou aside.
The chubby kitten was caught off guard and was pushed aside.
"Meow~ Meow~~"
Er Gou let out a low, dissatisfied snort.
Its tail tip curled up again and mischievously rested on Chu Xingli's forehead.
As soon as Chu Xingli reached out to grab it, Er Gou would quickly move its tail away.
As soon as Chu Xingli withdrew his hand, the chubby cat put its tail back in place, determined to harass Chu Xingli and keep him from having a peaceful time.
Reach out.
Move it away.
Withdraw your hand.
Put it back.
Chu Xingli: "..."
"Luo Xiaoran," Chu Xingli said, unable to bear it any longer, "take him away from me."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiaoran obediently walked over, carrying Er Gou with one hand, and left Chu Xingli's sight.
However, after arranging Er Gou's next activity area, Luo Xiaoran returned to the place where he had been standing and stared at Chu Xingli's face for a close examination.
"What's wrong?" Chu Xingli noticed his gaze and couldn't help but look up and ask.
Luo Xiaoran pointed at his face.
Chu Xingli raised her hand in confusion and touched her face from top to bottom.
Looking down—
My hands were covered in cat hair.
It was clearly smeared all over his face and around his lips.
Chu Xingli: "..."
"Hug me," Luo Xiaoran looked at him worriedly, "Do you want to take some hairball remedy too?"
Chu Xingli: "???"
Cat owners can deeply empathize with this o(╥﹏╥)o
[This is hilarious! This tuxedo cat is so cheeky, haha, it's driving me crazy with cuddling.]
[“Hugs, do you want some hairball remedy too?”]
[Brother Ranzi's use of the word "also" is so expressive, hahaha]
Hello, cosplaying as Santa Claus is not allowed here.
*
After seeing Chu Xingli's condition, Ye Yan felt relieved.
After dinner, they took the child home so as not to disturb Chu Xingli and Luo Xiaoran's time together.
Chu Xingli and Luo Xiaoran escorted her downstairs.
The family's driver was waiting downstairs, so there was nothing to worry about in terms of safety.
After watching the car disappear from sight, Chu Xingli and Luo Xiaoran went back upstairs.
...Next, it was time for the two of them.
Chu Xingli leaned against the wall of the sedan chair, curling her fingers slightly awkwardly.
Because he had a very bold idea and was ready to put it into practice.
Chu Xingli could clearly sense that Luo Xiaoran was still in a very low mood.
This is not the outcome he wanted.
Seeing Luo Xiaoran's dejected state, Chu Xingli was even more heartbroken than him.
If only I could transfer Luo Xiaoran's emotions onto him.
"Bang--"
Luo Xiaoran closed the door.
The outside noise was shut out, and the room returned to silence.
Chu Xingli stood in front of Luo Xiaoran.
He bit his lip repeatedly, silently preparing himself mentally.
After a long while, they finally made a move.
Chu Xingli grasped Luo Xiaoran's hand and placed it on her neck.
She exposed her most vulnerable side to Luo Xiaoran.
"A hug?" Luo Xiaoran asked, puzzled.
“Come with me.”
Chu Xingli led Luo Xiaoran backward slowly, towards the master bedroom.
Luo Xiaoran narrowed his eyes slightly, letting Chu Xingli lead him forward.
His hand rested on Chu Xingli's crotch to prevent the other from accidentally falling.
As expected.
The master bedroom was dimly lit.
Chu Xingli tripped over the bed with her knees bent.
He then lay down on the bed.
The mattress bounced up and down.
Luo Xiaoran let him hold her, and then leaned down onto the bed, looking down at Chu Xingli from above.
Chu Xingli loosened her already slightly undone collar, smiled at Luo Xiaoran, and her tongue piercing became visible:
"Luo Xiaoran, I can bear a little pain."
Luo Xiaoran frowned, not quite understanding what he meant.
Chu Xingli pursed her lips, gently grasped his hand, stroked it to her fingertips, placed it between her teeth, and bit it lightly.
Luo Xiaoran lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the young man's full lips, which were flushed with a delicate, alluring red.
Chu Xingli's voice was soft and low, with a hint of unspeakable bitterness, yet it was exceptionally firm:
"...Let me suffer with you, I'll be there for you."
