Chapter 60 Suspected Elder Abuse...
Chapter 61
Chu Xingli was fast asleep and naturally did not answer Luo Xiaoran's question.
Luo Xiaoran didn't disturb him, and quietly held him in his arms.
When he sensed that Chu Xingli was not sleeping soundly, he would gently rock his body and pat Chu Xingli's shoulders and back like a mother soothing a baby, helping him to fall back into a deep sleep.
[Sobbing, this scene is so cute!]
[Even though Ranzi is the younger brother, he dotes on Baobao like a child.]
[Hugs: Just call him "little brother," not "little brother." I'm the first to disagree with that! (doge)]
Mom and Dad, I'm born!
I really can't imagine how happy and warm it would be to be their child.
When are you two planning to have children? I'd like to make some preparations.
Chu Xingli was physically weak and often woke up in the middle of the night due to nightmares, so her condition was not very good.
I rarely get a full night's sleep.
He finally managed to fall into a deep sleep, and Luo Xiaoran naturally valued this matter more than anything else.
Being able to stay by Chu Xingli's side wholeheartedly, even just looking at him, makes me feel incredibly content.
What's more, being able to hold him in her arms made Luo Xiaoran feel even happier.
"...Hmm?" Chu Xingli let out an uncomfortable groan. Before Luo Xiaoran could look down to check on him, he opened his eyes.
Luo Xiaoran lowered his head and met Chu Xingli's gaze.
"Hug me? Did you sleep well?"
Looking at Chu Xingli's still sleepy eyes, Luo Xiaoran knew that he hadn't actually had enough sleep, but just seeing that Chu Xingli wasn't sleeping made him want to talk to him.
Half-asleep, Chu Xingli only cared about following her own heart.
She stared at the handsome man in front of her without blinking.
"A hug?" Luo Xiaoran thought he was still in a daze and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Gu Zezhou instructed him to keep a close eye on Chu Xingli's condition and to notify him immediately if anything seemed amiss.
But the way Hug is doing now seems a bit abnormal.
"Give me a kiss." Chu Xingli suddenly gave Luo Xiaoran the order.
Luo Xiaoran froze on the spot, staring at him in disbelief: "Hug, what did you say?"
Chu Xingli has been tormented by nightmares lately, and he often thinks that he should firmly grasp the initiative in his dreams.
Looking at Luo Xiaoran's face, he couldn't tell whether this was reality or a dream, and directly stated his request.
I don't care, I'll kiss you first.
Chu Xingli did not answer Luo Xiaoran's question, but instead demonstrated what he wanted to do through his actions.
Luo Xiaoran was still sitting steadily in the quilt with his arms around him when Chu Xingli lifted his hands, put them around the back of his neck, and pressed his neck close to his face.
"Hugs, you..."
Luo Xiaoran was unable to speak again.
Chu Xingli bit her lips like a puppy biting its owner's finger.
They kissed each other haphazardly and without any rhyme or reason.
They even put on an air of expertise, as if they were seasoned veterans.
His hand groped around on Luo Xiaoran's back.
Luo Xiaoran: "..."
After suppressing his laughter, Luo Xiaoran skillfully regained the initiative.
He held Chu Xingli's head and kissed his lips and tongue stud.
【Ahhh, my wife! Luo Xiaoran, is this some kind of tonic?! !!!】
[You two can kiss, don't worry about me (*￣︶￣)]
I'm so angry I could faint.
I can't even imagine how happy I would be to have a wife like Bao Bao every day.
[Hugs, can you tell me if this necklace looks good? (tosses the hanging rope high in the air.gif)]
The slight stinging sensation from the deep kiss completely snapped Chu Xingli out of her daze.
However, it was too late.
He simply couldn't break free from Luo Xiaoran's control over him.
She could only part her lips slightly, allowing Luo Xiaoran to kiss her.
“…Hmm.” Chu Xingli protested, tapping Luo Xiaoran’s shoulder.
The next moment, the back of her neck was released.
Chu Xingli took deep breaths of fresh air, secretly relieved that he hadn't become the first person to die during a kiss.
However, before he could even catch his third breath, Luo Xiaoran grabbed him and kissed him again.
...How could I easily give up an opportunity that I've finally gotten?
Luo Xiaoran savored the sweet taste in his mouth.
Only when Chu Xingli shed tears of grievance again did she gently kiss the corner of his eye and reluctantly let go of the person in her arms.

The weather outside isn't very good today.
Actually, it was alright in the morning, but after noon, the sky became a bit gloomy.
In order to make Zhu Ji forget about his birthday, the director gave the order for each pair of partners to split up and do tasks.
They waited until everyone returned to the courtyard before rushing up to give Zhu Ji a big surprise.
The director had secretly learned of Lin Ning's pregnancy and dared not send anyone out on the mission.
In addition to the hickey incident between Chu Xingli and Luo Xiaoran that went viral online yesterday, the director was genuinely worried that Chu Xingli's injuries might worsen his discomfort if he stayed outside.
So they simply let Chu Xingli and Lin Ning stay in the yard and do some chores like shredding corn.
"Buzz, buzz."
My phone vibrated twice.
However, it wasn't a call from someone else.
Chu Xingli took out his phone, glanced down at it, and was startled by the contact name that had sent him the message.
It's Luo Xiaoran.
Chu Xingli then seriously recalled the events.
Ever since Luo Xiaoran helped him prepare this very convenient and easy-to-use phone, he has spent most of his time reading novels and Phoenix Comics, and hasn't really paid attention to anything else.
The two had just added each other as friends, and their chat history was still stuck on the screen that said, "You have added Liaoyuan. You can start chatting now."
Today is the first time Luo Xiaoran has sent him a message.
After all, before this, the two of them were almost inseparable.
Even if something happens, they just call directly.
At this moment, Chu Xingli received a message from Luo Xiaoran, which she found quite novel.
[Liaoyuan: Look, there's a group of kittens arranging a fight.]
[Liaoyuan: [Image] This is the attacking side]
[Liaoyuan: [Image] This is the defending side]
Chu Xingli was successfully drawn to the first message Luo Xiaoran sent him.
Out of curiosity, I clicked on the two pictures below—
Four plump and strong orange cats huddled together, their eyes narrowed menacingly, looking quite intimidating.
Sitting opposite them were two slender tabby cats.
One of them was even casually licking its paws, occasionally tilting its head to look at the other big orange cats, seemingly not afraid of their large numbers at all.
[One punch shatters the world: And then what? Have the four trucks and the two kittens made peace now?]
[One punch to destroy this world: [Sea otter rubbing hands.gif]]
[Wildfire: The kittens are angry]
Upon seeing Luo Xiaoran's reply, Chu Xingli couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Weren't they supposed to be fighting? Why are you suddenly angry?
Chu Xingli was completely unaware that Luo Xiaoran had already aroused her interest.
Luo Xiaoran seemed to be constantly staring at his phone, waiting for Chu Xingli's reply.
Chu Xingli had only pressed the send button for less than five seconds when she received a message from Luo Xiaoran.
This reaction speed clearly indicates that the next sentence was prepared in advance.
[Liaoyuan: The kittens say that the word "hug" is abrupt.]
[Liaoyuan: So, the kittens are going to call a truce and come here for hugs and to reason with each other.]
Chu Xingli chuckled.
[One punch to destroy this world: I've already prepared sacks to bring these trucks home.]
Luo Xiaoran has not been separated from Chu Xingli these past few days.
The feeling of seeing hugs every second made him forget to take his medicine for a time.
Even without taking medication, they can still maintain the feeling of being alive with a beating heart.
After receiving the mission and going out with everyone, even the short half-day that Luo Xiaoran spent apart from Chu Xingli made him feel restless.
He had to keep sending messages to Chu Xingli on his phone, sharing what he saw and heard with him.
It was as if doing this would make Luo Xiaoran feel that the two of them were always together and never separated.
[Liaoyuan: The weather wasn't great when we set off, but it seems like the sun is out again now.]
Chu Xingli looked up at the sky and found that it was indeed much clearer than Luo Xiaoran had said.
[One punch to destroy this world: Be careful while doing your mission, don't look at your phone]
Luo Xiaoran was clearly pleased by this expression of concern.
[Liaoyuan: The weather's nice, a hug is good. You can read some upbeat novels to keep your mood positive.]
[Liaoyuan: Don't read sad novels. Your pillow is made of buckwheat hulls; if you cry, they might sprout.]
Chu Xingli was amused by his last sentence and laughed.
My mood improved a lot as a result.
Lin Ning kept glancing at her friend's expression and noticed that Chu Xingli was holding her phone with a smile on her face. She didn't even bother to peel the corn, and instead rested her elbows on her knees to watch Chu Xingli's antics.
"Xingli, judging from your expression, you're not reading a novel, are you?"
Chu Xingli: "..."
[Hugs are totally acting out my personality, haha]
My cheekbones often flare up when I'm reading comics.
But why does that hugging expression look like the way my lovestruck best friend talks to her boyfriend?
[Brother Ranzi, your wife's dating someone! Stop chopping wood and come back to her right now!]
[This message might have been sent by Ranzi to Baobao.]
[Yes, haha. I saw Ranzi in another camera angle just put his phone in his pocket and went back to chopping wood. I guess he just sent a message to Baobao.]
Chu Xingli put her phone away, pretending to be busy, and reached into the basket to pick up the corn. She put on gloves and deftly began to rub it.
Lin Ning mercilessly exposed him: "Xing Li, the corn cobs you shredded didn't have any kernels."
Chu Xingli looked down.
That's true.
"Ah, I was afraid that if I didn't scrub it clean enough, it would be a waste," Chu Xingli argued.
Lin Ning smiled and nodded, then changed the subject: "Xing Li, did you accidentally hurt your lip? Or did you eat something that might have caused an allergic reaction?"
Chu Xingli: "..."
This was, of course, kissed by Luo Xiaoran.
However, Chu Xingli had no way to explain herself, and answered vaguely, "Ah, I was lying down playing on my phone when it was accidentally hit."
Lin Ning gave her a "Do you think I believe that?" look: "I feel like I've been kissed until my skin is swollen?"
Chu Xingli blushed as she recalled the image of Luo Xiaoran holding her tightly and kissing her incessantly, refusing to let go.
In his nervousness, he cleared his throat, pretended to put on a stern face, and criticized Lin Ning, "Ningning, you're getting more and more gossipy."
Lin Ning smiled and spread her hands, mimicking Chu Xingli's tone: "You learn from whoever you're following~"
Chu Xingli: "..."
[hhh, hugs to baby, you're a little cake!]
[Ningning is so happy next to Baobao! Taking a quick sip (runs away~)]
[Hugs! Kids shouldn't lie!]
[I'll answer for Ningning! It was Ranzi who kissed her!]
[Shocking! The former "mushroom judge" has turned over a new leaf and started a new life—what exactly happened?!]

Luo Xiaoran and Zhu Ji were both tall and strong, so they were naturally quite capable when it came to work.
The two of them, along with Zhou Maidong, whose arms and legs were trembling from exhaustion, managed to complete the task assigned by the director more than an hour ahead of schedule.
They carried baskets on their backs and supported Zhou Maidong as they walked back into the courtyard from outside.
Their task was to find the task cards that the production crew had placed inside the mountains in advance.
However, the locations are extremely tricky, requiring the seeker to possess extraordinary abilities to find them all.
Unfortunately, Zhou Maidong was assigned to the same group as the other two.
Not only was finding the mission cards extremely difficult, but towards the end they were completely unable to move, stumbling along behind Luo Xiaoran and Zhu Ji, who were walking briskly and making a lot of progress.
Out of sympathy and concern for his elders, Luo Xiaoran suggested to Zhu Ji that the two of them take the responsibility of carrying the exhausted Brother Zhou back.
That's how the hilarious scene that everyone witnessed came about.
Lu Yunxin saw the scene at a glance and burst out laughing, completely ignoring Zhou Maidong's face, which turned bright red instantly.
[This is hilarious! Brother Zhou has completely lost face.]
These two guys, who are almost 1.9 meters tall, used Brother Zhou as a crutch to help them come in.
[Politeness: Is this your Brother Zhou?]
[lol, Sister Lu, aren't you going to feel sorry for your husband at all?]
Why is this floor so clean? Oh, it turns out Zhou Maidong swept it with a cloth.
Chu Xingli was mistaken for Brother Zhou by Sister Lu, who sat down next to him and slapped his thigh hard.
He gasped in pain and looked towards the courtyard gate with Sister Lu—
"My God, this is suspected of elder abuse."
Chu Xingli stood up, walked over to them and offered a helping hand, while also standing up for Brother Zhou.
Upon hearing someone speak up for him after being safely transported back, Zhou Maidong immediately forgot about the kindness Luo Xiaoran and Zhu Ji had shown him by carrying him back.
They also joined Chu Xingli in criticizing Luo Xiaoran and Zhu Ji from a moral high ground.
"Yes, yes, Xingli is right! Isn't this elder abuse? I'm so old, and you're still carrying me all over the mountain."
As he spoke, Zhou Maidong raised one leg, making it visible to everyone, including the viewers in the live stream—
"I even lost a shoe while running!"
Zhu Daniu loudly protested, "It was Brother Zhou who said he wanted to earn more money to buy Sister Lu a leg of lamb to roast, that's why he's so tired."
Luo Xiaoran obediently admitted his mistake: "It was indeed our negligence that caused us to lose Brother Zhou's shoes."
Chu Xingli looked at the foot where Brother Zhou had lost his shoe.
Even the socks got torn.
He sighed, suppressing a laugh: "Brother Zhou could have aged gracefully."
Lu Yunxin burst into laughter and collapsed onto the pile of firewood.
Chu Xingli was worried that she would laugh so hard she would pass out, so he reached out and patted her on the back to make sure she was alright before withdrawing his hand.
[Suspected Elder Abuse]
[Sister Lu, why don't you try to comfort Brother Zhou? I feel like he's about to break down.]
[Brother Zhou has been a powerful figure in movies for most of his life, but now that he's old, he's so undignified, being carried around in the mountains by a younger generation.]
Not only that, but she also lost her shoes while running around, haha.
[Hugs are so cute, hahaha, I need to make sure Sister Lu hasn't laughed herself silly.]
[Sister Lu: Thanks for the invitation, it's hard not to laugh myself silly]
[Hahaha, this is amazing! "Brother Zhou could have aged gracefully"]
After recounting his grievances and complicated relationship with Brother Zhou, Luo Xiaoran finally had time to say a few words to the guy he had secretly watched several times.
As soon as Luo Xiaoran entered the courtyard, he saw Chu Xingli squatting in the yard, watching intently as the master craftsman piled firewood in the middle of the yard.
Finally, he also placed some easily flammable items next to the head chef, just waiting for the director's order to light them.
"We're having barbecue tonight," Luo Xiaoran said, carrying the ingredients he had exchanged with the mission cards he found, and walked over to Chu Xingli to show him. "I got a leg of lamb."
Chu Xingli's eyes lit up: "You're amazing! This kind of mission must be very difficult to do."
He delivered the emotional value perfectly, making Luo Xiaoran immediately adopt a smug, puppy-like demeanor after hearing it: "It's alright, it's not that difficult."
Chu Xingli couldn't help but laugh.
"Hug me," Luo Xiaoran carefully took out a well-wrapped item from the basket and handed it to Chu Xingli, "I brought you a sugar figurine, it's a little rabbit."
Chu Xingli's eyes lit up again.
He has loved these new gadgets since he was a child.
"You made this yourself?" Chu Xingli took it with both hands, examining it in surprise.
"Well, I tried making it before," Luo Xiaoran said somewhat embarrassedly, fiddling with the bamboo skewers in his hand. "It's been a long time since I've done it, so it might not be very good."
Over the years, in the process of Chu Xingli and Luo Xiaoran falling in love, it has never been Luo Xiaoran who has made one-sided sacrifices.
Luo Xiaoran needs just as much emotional value as Chu Xingli.
Even though Chu Xingli was impatient, she never ignored Luo Xiaoran's feelings.
When did Ranzi go and buy the little rabbit?
He's thinking about hugging me all the time o(╥﹏╥)o
Mom and Dad, you must be happy!
Just as Chu Xingli was about to speak, an unbearable headache swept over him.
Chu Xingli has silently experienced this feeling many times since being discharged from the hospital.
I've always had to grit my teeth and get through it all.
Therefore, he believes that today is no exception.
"Hmm..."
Chu Xingli subconsciously reached out and placed her hand on the stone table to maintain her balance and avoid falling headfirst to the ground.
However, this was an occasion that Chu Xingli had never imagined would erupt here.
So, compared to a headache, Chu Xingli was more worried about losing face.
"Hug?" Luo Xiaoran reacted quickly, pulling the person into his arms and holding him securely.
Chu Xingli had grown accustomed to the headaches that kept troubling him.
Luo Xiaoran picked him up horizontally and lifted him up easily, so that Chu Xingli could lean on his shoulder as comfortably as possible on the way back to the room.
The room was at the very back, quiet as it was, but the journey was long.
Fortunately, Luo Xiaoran is tall and has long legs, so he walked back to the room in just over ten seconds and put Chu Xingli down on the bed.
"Little rabbit..." Chu Xingli's vision blurred with pain, but she still didn't forget to clench the bamboo skewer in her hand, and instructed Luo Xiaoran in a trembling voice, "Help me... hold this, be careful."
Luo Xiaoran looked down and his heart softened. He sighed with heartache.
"Hug me..."
He wanted to say something, but before he could finish, he reluctantly did as he was told: "I've got it steady, don't worry."
[What's wrong with a hug? Waaaaah!]
[Ranzi's boyfriend power is off the charts! He carries you so easily!]
If it were my boyfriend, he'd faint after carrying me for only two steps.
Then they'll ask you, "Baby, what will I do if I can't carry you? (crying)"
[Can anyone tell me why Hugs' health is so bad? o(╥﹏╥)o]
After lying silently for more than ten minutes, Chu Xingli's headache finally eased under Luo Xiaoran's massage.
"I feel much better, thank you." Chu Xingli sincerely expressed her gratitude to him.
Luo Xiaoran could detect any change in Chu Xingli's emotions.
He turned off their microphones and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
A headache is such an unpleasant thing that it can certainly lead to a low mood.
Chu Xingli remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
"Want a hug?"
Luo Xiaoran knew that whether it was when he was a child or when he grew up, a hug was an offer he could never refuse.
For the two of them, a hug is the best way to heal.
Chu Xingli hugged him for a while, and then his fingers, which were resting on Luo Xiaoran's back, were drawn to his back muscles.
Feeling a tickle in his heart, he couldn't help but touch Luo Xiaoran's beautifully shaped and wonderfully smooth muscle lines a few more times.
"Hug me. There are still almost three hours before dinner starts." Luo Xiaoran pinched Chu Xingli's earlobe.
Chu Xingli understood his meaning and quickly glanced at Luo Xiaoran.
"what you up to?"
Luo Xiaoran did not directly answer Chu Xingli's question, but continued from what he had just said: "It's never too late to do anything."
Chu Xingli closed her eyes, her breathing slightly erratic: "Okay."
Luo Xiaoran was the first to walk to the fixed camera position in the room and cover the lens with a towel.
Immediately afterwards, he turned off the microphones on him and Chu Xingli.
[What content is off-limits to us?!]
[That vixen Luo Xiaoran! She's shamelessly and despicably trying to hug me again!]
This is utterly blatant misrepresentation!
In the past, when Chu Xingli was under a lot of pressure, she would often solve problems and relieve her fatigue by hugging Luo Xiaoran or by doing something deeper.
With Chu Xingli's approval, Luo Xiaoran felt free to hug and kiss her.
However, the next moment, Luo Xiaoran stopped moving.
Chu Xingli looked at him blankly.
Luo Xiaoran gently squeezed Chu Xingli's arm:
"But I didn't bring it."
Luo Xiaoran never forgets to take safety precautions.
He didn't want any mishaps.
I don't want Baobao to experience any discomfort.
Upon hearing this, Chu Xingli barely managed to pull herself out of her lustful reverie, her finger trembling slightly as she pointed towards the suitcase:
"...I brought it."
