Chapter 38 They said they'd only do it after a kiss...
Chapter 38
Luo Xiaoran watched silently as Chu Xingli ran towards him carrying a bathrobe.
A young man, clearly tired, stood in front of him, looking up at him with worried eyes, and said earnestly, "You're such a grown man, and you don't even know how to take care of yourself."
As she spoke, she was about to help Luo Xiaoran put on a bathrobe and dry off the water droplets on his body.
"Are you worried about me? Hug me." Luo Xiaoran let him manipulate her arm, avoiding the wound on her hand, and looked down at Chu Xingli, who was busy taking care of her.
The two were quite different in height and build. In Luo Xiaoran's eyes, Chu Xingli at this moment looked as cute as a rabbit building its nest.
"Of course I'm worried," Chu Xingli sighed. "You have a fever, so I'm the one who has to take care of you."
Luo Xiaoran: "..."
[Ranzi: They should have just frozen me to death.]
[Great! He's straight. We're all saved!]
[Haha, Ranzi, if I were you, I'd burn it for him (doge)]
Sister, is the "burning" you're talking about the same as the "burning" I'm thinking of?
"Your hands almost got wet," Chu Xingli held Luo Xiaoran's hands to check them over, and only continued to instruct her after confirming that she was alright. "I was careless today. I need to call Gu Zezhou back. I'll definitely remember to help you take a bath next time."
Luo Xiaoran can certainly take a bath by himself.
However, judging from the current situation, if he acts as if he can easily support himself, he will most likely lose Hug.
"Okay, then I'll ask for your help next time." Luo Xiaoran's tone was gentle, making it difficult for Chu Xingli to feel wary.
Chu Xingli quite likes the feeling of being relied on and needed, and with Luo Xiaoran being so obedient, no one would find this situation annoying.
"Then I'll go take a shower, and then we'll go to sleep." Chu Xingli picked up her bathrobe, took her phone, and went into the bathroom.
Luo Xiaoran nodded and walked to the bedside to begin making the bed in a virtuous manner.
Chu Xingli took the opportunity of taking a bath to chat with Gu Zezhou on WeChat for a while.
When I came out, my depressed mood had eased a bit.
Looking up, I saw that Luo Xiaoran had already crawled into bed.
She was sitting upright against the headboard, looking at him obediently.
They were clearly waiting for him to crawl in as well.
Chu Xingli: "..."
So serious.
That's so embarrassing.
This was the first time they had shared a bed to sleep together while both were awake and without any special circumstances.
"Lie over here," Luo Xiaoran said, noticing that Chu Xingli was getting into bed the wrong way, and quickly moved away, patting the spot where he was sitting. "I've warmed it up for you."
Chu Xingli took a deep breath.
...What's warmed up?
"The blankets are warmed up for you," Luo Xiaoran said directly, as if she could read his mind. "Come in quickly."
Before entering the bathroom, Chu Xingli took off her microphone and casually placed it on the low stool by the door.
When I came out wearing my bathrobe, I completely forgot to bring it with me and turn it off.
[Wow, Ranzi's awareness is really high! He's already warming the bed for his wife before winter even arrives!]
The male peacock's intention to tidy its nest is visualized.
[Warm the bed! Hug me and snuggle into your husband's arms! Then you two do it for me!]
[Thanks to Hugs' Little Fish Head for letting us all hear the couple's nighttime chat every day]
I think Ranzi knew all along that it's easy to forget about hugs, but out of selfishness, he never reminded him or helped him turn them off (doge)
Chu Xingli felt that if she hesitated and didn't go to bed with Luo Xiaoran, it would really make Luo Xiaoran sad.
His original intention was simply to get a smooth divorce and gain his freedom, not to go to great lengths to hurt Luo Xiaoran.
After mentally preparing herself, Chu Xingli gritted her teeth and buried herself in the covers.
My body stiffened, I closed my eyes tightly, and kept reciting work data to hypnotize myself.
Suddenly, Luo Xiaoran, who was lying on his left, stirred.
Chu Xingli was startled.
He thought Luo Xiaoran wanted to get his phone.
After quickly glancing to the side, Chu Xingli was about to close her eyes again and pretend to sleep when Luo Xiaoran leaned over her and startled her again.
"You, you, you... what are you going to do?"
This is the second time Chu Xingli has stuttered tonight.
He stared blankly at Luo Xiaoran, who was supporting himself above him.
Such a close distance.
You can almost see how many eyelashes Luo Xiaoran has.
Chu Xingli's Adam's apple bobbed up and down.
He quietly pulled the blanket up to cover his Adam's apple, which was about to be exposed.
Luo Xiaoran seemed genuinely unaware of Chu Xingli's guilty conscience.
He sincerely explained Chu Xingli's question, his tone innocent: "Turn off the lights."
Chu Xingli then realized that she hadn't turned off the light, and awkwardly nudged Luo Xiaoran's shoulder gently: "You, you... lie down, I'll turn it off."
Luo Xiaoran didn't argue and simply lay back down on the pillow, waiting for Chu Xingli to turn off the light.
His movements looked clean and efficient, but when he withdrew his hand from Chu Xingli's neck, his warm breath brushed against Chu Xingli's ear.
The person involved was so agitated that they couldn't help but tremble, and the tips of their ears became hot.
He hurriedly propped himself up on his elbows and stretched out his arm to turn off the light.
In the chaos, Chu Xingli accidentally touched some switch.
The lights on the ceiling were not turned off; instead, they started changing constantly, and the style gradually became somewhat bizarre.
At first, it was a dark purple ambient light, then it started to turn green, then yellow, and finally pitch black.
Chu Xingli breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was a ritual before turning off the lights, but before she could even lie back down on her pillow...
All the colors of the lights that had just flashed back on instantly, flashing wildly on the ceiling at an unbelievable high frequency.
The two faces lying on the bed turned green and black from being shaken so much.
Chu Xingli: "..."
Luo Xiaoran: "..."
Bao Keming is really playing a fancy game.
Chu Xingli closed her eyes in despair.
Before going to bed, Luo Xiaoran closed all the windows tightly and covered the camera lens with his hat.
However, the ever-changing ambient lighting filled the entire room, and the angle at which the hat covered them could only ensure that the viewers in the live stream could not see their privacy, but it could not prevent the light from reflecting around the camera and the colors reflected in the lens.
The combination of the muffled audio and the indistinct sound instantly excited the viewers who were still awake.
[...There's even ambient lighting (stunned image)]
Could it be that Luo Xiaoran couldn't resist and started eating?!
[Damn it, let us see!]
[Let go of my wife! Luo Xiaoran, how could you do this?!]
[My hug, sob sob, you really gave it to him o(╥﹏╥)o]
*
The next morning, Chu Xingli sat up in bed, rubbing her swollen eyes.
The comical lighting incident before bedtime kept both him and Luo Xiaoran from sleeping well.
No matter how many times the two of them took pictures or pressed the light-off button, they couldn't turn off the lights.
In the end, Luo Xiaoran took his phone's flashlight and searched the entire bedroom before finally finding a tiny switch behind a mirror.
After pressing the button, the psychedelic world finally quieted down.
But it was almost 2:30.
Chu Xingli washed up in a daze, and then listlessly helped Luo Xiaoran wash and wipe her face.
Hearing Lin Ning from next door knocking on his door, he put on his coat, opened the door, and went downstairs with Lin Ning.
Before Chu Xingli's footsteps even touched the ground of the first-floor lobby, she heard a commotion coming from the living room.
The chief director is single-handedly engaging in a battle of wits with Bao Keming and his wife, as well as Zhao Anyu and Chen Xuanqi, to complete the mission.
"What?!" "Kissing?!"
Upon hearing this, Bao Keming and Qiao Manyun immediately responded with loud retorts as proof of their resistance to the rules of the game.
Seeing that Qiao Manyun and Bao Keming were both unhappy, Zhao Anyu naturally followed suit: "Why do we have to kiss to get breakfast?! I protest!"
Chen Xuanqi rolled her eyes dramatically: "You think I want to kiss you?!"
Compared to the other couples, Lu Yunxin and Zhou Maidong's relationship is improving at an astonishing rate every day.
The tasks assigned by the program team are undoubtedly a very positive help for them.
As soon as the director finished speaking, Zhou Maidong cupped Lu Yunxin's face in his hands, and with an embarrassed yet determined smile, kissed Lu Yunxin's forehead.
[Brother Zhou is shy; this level of decency is already quite acceptable!]
I don't really want to watch the kissing scene between Bao Keming and Qiao Manyun. Please skip them and go straight to the scene with Bao Keming and Ranzi.
[I'm already looking forward to it! I wonder how much Ranzi will kiss me today (my face turns yellow)]
Do they cry when they hug and kiss? I really want to see!
I strongly suspect that Hugs is the one who likes to be controlled.
What worries me most right now is whether Ranzi got to eat last night (rubbing hands)
Chu Xingli couldn't stand this.
Sensing that something was amiss, Chu Xingli turned around and tried to escape back to her room, pretending she hadn't heard anything, and crawled into bed to continue pretending to be asleep.
Ideally, he should sleep until everyone has finished breakfast before coming downstairs.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, she bumped into Luo Xiaoran's arms.
As Luo Xiaoran helped Chu Xingli steady, he saw through Chu Xingli's scheme and immediately said to him in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, "Hug me, I've taken your water cup down."
It successfully caught the attention of the director, who was not far away.
"Hey? Xingli and Xiaoran are down? Did you two hear the mission requirements? Do you need me to repeat them again?"
The director wasn't worried at all about whether Zhu Ji and Lin Ning would be willing to exchange a kiss for breakfast, so he focused his attention directly on Chu Xingli and Luo Xiaoran.
After all, these two are the tough nuts to crack.
...or rather, Chu Xingli himself.
"I forgot to wear my glasses, I'll go upstairs and get them first," Chu Xingli said sheepishly, changing the subject as if she was about to run away. "If I can't see clearly, I won't be able to hear what everyone is saying."
Director: "???"
Seeing this, Zhu Ji was extremely anxious.
Master Luo taught him a lot about the three obediences and four virtues that men should uphold, and the effect was immediate; Ningning smiled at him more and more often.
Zhu Ji was extremely happy every moment.
Therefore, when he saw his master encountering difficulties, Zhu Ji wanted to do something significant to repay his master.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ji's eyes darted around.
With two long arms outstretched, one grabbed Chu Xingli's shoulder, and the other grabbed Luo Xiaoran's forearm.
With both hands pulling back forcefully, the two unsuspecting people were immediately dragged towards Zhu Ji's side, and Lin Ning also cooperated by giving Chu Xingli's back a push—
Chu Xingli, feeling dizzy and disoriented, was suddenly pulled into Luo Xiaoran's arms by her friend, who was already prepared.
Chu Xingli: "???"
"Wait, wait a minute!" Chu Xingli was afraid that Luo Xiaoran would kiss him directly. He bit his lip in a panic and turned his head hesitantly to look at the progress of the other groups of guests, trying to find some room for himself.
When Luo Xiaoran is facing Chu Xingli, he always looks like an honest, docile dog.
Upon hearing Chu Xingli's question, he simply glanced back at the direction of the production crew and then obediently replied to Chu Xingli, "They said you have to kiss to get breakfast."
Chu Xingli: "..."
Of course he heard it.
But...but...
You can't sell your soul just to get a meal, can you?!
[Even when he was being hugged, he said "wait a minute" instead of "no" o(╥﹏╥)o]
[laughs, look how anxious Ningning is, afraid that her attempt to help will backfire.]
【Zhu Daniu, you've finally grown up】
[Hugs, you can't escape even if you scream your lungs out today, Ranzi-ge is definitely going to kiss your lips (smirking)]
[Luo Xiaoran, you wouldn't actually dare to kiss my wife so openly, would you?]
[Ahhh, Ranzi-ge, kiss him already!!! Grab him by the neck! Kiss him!!!]
Chu Xingli couldn't see clearly, so she could only obediently be held in Luo Xiaoran's arms.
He could only see Luo Xiaoran's face clearly.
Just as Chu Xingli was about to have a reasonable discussion with Luo Xiaoran about how occasionally delaying breakfast wouldn't actually do much harm to her health, she noticed that Luo Xiaoran seemed to be acting strangely.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Seeing Luo Xiaoran's pale face, Chu Xingli immediately forgot about the mission and worriedly took Luo Xiaoran's arm, helping him sit on the sofa.
Lin Ning was thoroughly enjoying herself watching the drama unfold.
As an NPC with a god-like perspective, he immediately chimed in, "Hey? Why is Xiao Ran's hand on his stomach? Is he feeling unwell?"
Chu Xingli then followed Luo Xiaoran's right hand and saw where he was pressing. She frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong? Is your stomach upset? Do you feel pain or nausea?"
Luo Xiaoran was faking it all along, so it was difficult for him to describe so many specific feelings to Chu Xingli in a short time.
Seeing Chu Xingli waiting for his answer so seriously, he could only nod and avoid the main point: "A little bit of both."
"It's over! It must be from hunger!" Zhu Daniu delivered the final, fatal blow to Chu Xingli, who was already wavering.
The words had barely left his mouth.
Chu Xingli didn't care about anything else and immediately grabbed Luo Xiaoran by the back of the neck, forcing him to raise his head.
He then leaned down and pressed his lips forcefully onto Luo Xiaoran's lips.
As it left, it made a loud "pop" sound.
"Hurry up and get us breakfast!"
Luo Xiaoran deserves to have a wife.
Just how amazing is this guy's acting? One second he's rosy-cheeked, the next he's pale and weak, trying to appease his wife?!
Kill me, right now. I don't want to live anymore.
[Ahhhhh! Stop! No! Shut up!!]
Luo Xiaoran, you must be feeling incredibly good right now.
