Chapter 35: The Lucky King 2: The Lucky King
The soft, trembling sound had no warning effect at all.
Compared with the beautiful landlord's hands, the arms of the young tenant who often engages in outdoor sports are much darker and larger.
The landlord's hands were too small, and he had to use so much strength that his hands turned pale to barely hold the tenant's arm.
The fair little hand was shaking slightly, and the force was like a kitten scratching an itch. Not only did it fail to pull the tenant's arm out, but it also made the arm sink deeper.
The loose, drooping hem of the clothes became the best cover, preventing people from seeing what the large hand sandwiched between them was doing, which caused the young landlord's eyes to become wet and red.
Lian Shuo lowered his eyes, his heart beating wildly at the soft touch of his palm. The thumping of his heartbeat was louder than the music from the headphones hanging around his neck.
His landlord looked like a malnourished bean sprout, but it was warm and soft there, like sinking into a pile of warm cotton.
The cotton pile was filled with soft, white flesh, and the skin was very smooth. He wanted to pull it out, but it was clamped even tighter.
Because she clamped it so tightly, the redness in the corners of the landlord's eyes deepened, and a trembling frightened whimper escaped from her two pink lips, and her thin body suddenly trembled.
The faint sweet fragrance that had been lingering around became stronger, and the overly sweet aroma was suddenly dissolved and inhaled into the tenant's nostrils.
The dry mouth and tongue that had been recurring since the afternoon came back again. Lian Shuo's breathing became disordered, his jaw was tense, and the blue veins on his neck were prominent.
He said in a hoarse voice: "Don't squeeze me, spread your legs."
Hearing this, Wu Lan was filled with anger.
Look at what Lian Shuo said, it seems like he was deliberately holding that arm, but the truth is that Lian Shuo took the initiative to put his hand under his butt!
The reason he clamped his legs together was because the other person had pinched the flesh at the base of his legs a few times with malicious intent, so he subconsciously clamped his legs together to prevent the other person from pinching him further.
Lian Shuo is simply turning the tables!!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Even his eyes turned red with anger, and he wanted to bite that bad hand twice.
"Pull it out yourself if you can."
He said something without thinking, and the next second he saw Lian Shuo's face darken and he grabbed his ankle with his other hand.
After being caught, Wu Lan's body suddenly fell on the sofa, her legs were forced apart, and her two pink and white feet were placed on the shoulders on both sides of Lian Shuo.
From Wu Lan's perspective, he had his legs spread open, and Lian Shuo's face was facing his lower body. His handsome face was tense and his eyes were heavy.
The thick and long arm that was clamped by the soft and tender leg flesh was finally pulled out, and the young man held a shiny white data cable in his hand.
"You've heated up my data cable."
Lian Shuo's hoarse and steady statement made Wu Lan's face flush instantly. He wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth again and again, but no words came out.
It turns out the data cable is really under his butt...
When Wu Lan looked into those deep eyes, his head was about to smoke. He kicked Lian Shuo's shoulder with trembling legs, hid in the bathroom as if escaping, and closed the door with a "bang".
Lian Shuo was still kneeling on one knee. He silently looked at the place on the sofa where he had been sitting. There was a small dent there, which was slowly rebounding.
The body temperature from the data cable had disappeared, but the skin on the arm that had touched Wu Lan was extremely hot.
He suddenly tightened his grip on the data cable, his dark eyes darkening.
He lowered his head uncontrollably, his nose touching the data cable, and he smelled a faint, pleasant fragrance. He was sure that this was the scent left by Wu Lan, it was extremely fragrant.
*
In the bathroom.
Wu Lan bent down with her head down to examine her thigh which seemed to have been pinched by someone.
He was extremely glad that he put on pants after taking a shower tonight. Although the pants were short, they still provided protection.
2720 also watched for a while and asked with concern, "How did the inspection go?"
[It's a little red. He must have pinched me.]
Wu Lan pouted as she pulled up her shorts and poked her inner thighs with her fingers, showing 2720 the evidence with a wronged look on her face. "There are fingerprints here!"
2720 took a closer look and found that the flesh on the inner thigh was just a little red, so it was not very obvious that it was a fingerprint.
The system was silent for a moment, then said, "...Go apply some aloe vera later to reduce the redness."
Wu Lan wondered, "Do I have aloe vera cream?"
2720 [Yes, it's in the cabinet in the room. I'll take you there.]
Hearing this, Wu Lan nodded, opened the bathroom door and prepared to return to her room, but was startled by Lian Shuo standing outside the door.
He took a step back, his face full of caution: "Why are you standing here?"
Like a black-faced bear, it's going to scare someone to death.
"bath."
There were only two words in response to him.
Wu Lan looked at the clothes in Lian Shuo's hand, uttered a muffled "oh", lowered her head and slipped out to avoid being seen.
Lian Shuo's eyes followed Wu Lan until Wu Lan closed the door, then he looked away.
He went into the bathroom silently and closed the door.
The small bathroom felt a bit cramped after Lian Shuo entered, as if any big movement would cause him to bump into the wall. If he hadn't rented an apartment, Lian Shuo probably would never have used such a small bathroom in his life.
He put the clothes on the rack and just turned on the water when he stopped.
The tip of my nose moved slightly, and I smelled a familiar fragrance.
Glancing around, I saw an extra set of clothes in the laundry basket in the corner. A small piece of blue and white striped clothing was pressed under the T-shirt, with a corner sticking out.
I recognized at a glance that these were the underwear Wu Lan wore today.
With a blank expression on his face, Lian Shuo withdrew his gaze, took off all his clothes, walked into the glass compartment, and turned on the shower.
The hot water quickly made the entire glass misty. The tall figure in the glass compartment was tilting his head back to rinse his hair, and the water flowed down his strong muscles to the ground.
He wiped his hair and water behind his head, revealing a pair of sharp eyebrows and eyes.
Lian Shuo reached out to press the shower gel, but suddenly hesitated for a few seconds, and then pressed the large bottle of mint shower gel.
The scent of mint soon filled the entire bathroom. Lian Shuo looked a little strange. He looked at the bottle of shower gel with suspicion and frowned slightly.
Why is it only mint flavor?
I pressed it twice again, not believing it, but the sweetness I remembered in my mind could not be found in the shower gel. The mint smell on my hands explained a certain fact.
Thinking of that sweet fragrance again, Lian Shuo's arm that had been pinched began to feel hot again, his muscles tightened, and the blood in his body became extremely hot.
He looked at the raised part of his neck, and the veins on his neck became visible again. He turned the water temperature to cold with a sullen face.
Ten minutes later, it still hadn't slowed down.
Lian Shuo clenched his back teeth, and the hard stone underneath rose up without showing any weakness. He looked at the clothes basket in the corner with gloomy eyes, and was engaged in some kind of psychological struggle.
'Bang bang bang', there was a knock on the bathroom door.
"Lian Shuo, you've been washing for a long time! The water bill is very expensive!!"
The landlord's voice was fierce and tough, and it became muffled when it entered the bathroom, but Lian Shuo still caught a hint of softness, which made him furious.
The people below nodded in the direction of the voice, as if they were hooked by the soft voice.
Even without opening the door, he could guess that Wu Lan must be talking with her hands on her hips, and her face might even be puffed up.
The thing in his palm was getting hotter and hotter, and even his teeth were about to break. He stared at the door with the eyes of a hungry beast. His voice was hoarse as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper:
"I know. I'll wash it right away."
Wu Lan had to put her ear against the door to hear Lian Shuo's response. She was a little surprised by the change in the other person's voice, but she didn't think too much about it.
2720 coldly announced, [Beep! Lian Shuo's patience value: +5, current patience value: 12.]
Hearing that Lian Shuo's patience had increased again, Wu Lan nodded with satisfaction and returned to the room with light steps.
He had originally planned to wait for Lian Shuo to come out so he could talk to him about the importance of saving water bills. But he waited and waited, and even when he fell asleep, Lian Shuo still didn't come out.
*
When I woke up again, it was already daybreak.
Wu Lan turned off the alarm clock in a daze, turned over and planned to continue sleeping.
2720 [Today I'm going to a luxury hotel for a breakfast buffet. It takes over half an hour to get there from home. Get up quickly.]
Tortured by sleepiness, Wu Lan could hardly open her eyes. She buried her head in the quilt, avoiding getting up. "Breakfast time is very long. I can go later."
"No." 2720 said, "According to the character setting, you must show up at the restaurant entrance before breakfast starts and wait until you're full before you can leave."
[After this meal, you can't eat anything else today. Except for free food, of course.]
After hearing this, Wu Lan's eyes darkened and darkened. Finally, he was urged to do nothing and got out of bed reluctantly.
The sun rises early in the summer, but there are not many people on the streets after six o'clock.
The weather was relatively cool in the morning. After getting off the bus, Wu Lan followed the navigation and walked for another ten minutes before finally arriving at the target hotel.
This is worthy of being the most upscale hotel in the city. Even the lobby is decorated magnificently. As soon as you walk in, you can smell the hotel's unique light aroma.
As soon as I walked in, the concierge came up to me and asked, "Hello, are you checking in?"
Wu Lan shook her head and showed the other party the self-service coupon she had drawn yesterday, "I'm here for breakfast."
The young concierge was stunned by Wu Lan's appearance. He paused and looked at the self-service coupon. Then, he handed the coupon back to Wu Lan with both hands and said with a smile, "The restaurant is on the sixth floor. Please follow me."
Wu Lan was taken all the way to the elevator. After walking out of the elevator, he turned around and thanked the gentle concierge who held the elevator door for him.
There were still five minutes left until breakfast time, and he just made it.
He originally planned to wait at the restaurant door, but the waiter in the restaurant saw him and came over to ask, and then he was invited into the restaurant early.
"Please find a seat first. Once the food is ready, you can eat by yourself."
The waiter was very friendly and explained in detail: "On the left is the cold dish area, dessert area and fruit area, and on the right is the hot dish area and beverage area. You can also order some freshly cooked noodles at the window in the middle."
"Okay, thank you." Wu Lan thanked the waiter with a smile.
This was his first time to eat buffet in a hotel restaurant. His eyes were full of novelty, and the depression of being forced to get up had disappeared without a trace.
Wu Lan found a seat by the window and sat down.
Looking out from here, there's a large shopping mall directly across the street. According to 2720, that mall is mostly filled with high-end brand stores, and outside the mall, there's a lot of street photography going on.
2720 [According to the setting, your character often comes to this mall on weekdays. He does not buy anything, but only goes to various counters to collect free small gifts.]
He joined a number of group chats, which updated daily with information about free gifts and raffles. Wu Lan was instructed to open the group chats, and the system continued, "You only need to pay attention to the free raffles. As for the free gifts, it's up to you; you're not forced to claim them."
There were indeed several group chats on the phone. When she clicked on one of them, there were many messages. Wu Lan read them carefully one by one, and her eyes were almost dizzy.
I rubbed my eyes and looked up again. Breakfast in the restaurant was ready and several guests came in one after another.
Because it was her first time eating at a buffet, Wu Lan was afraid that something might go wrong, so she randomly picked a customer, imitated the customer to get the empty plate, and followed behind the customer to get the jam and butter for the bread.
Si Qinyu soon noticed that there was a handsome young man following behind him.
The short boy followed him quietly, taking whatever he took.
The boy dressed neatly and simply. Even though the brand of his clothes could not be identified, with such a handsome face, he looked like a rich young master no matter what he wore.
His dark, almond-shaped eyes kept glancing at the beverage machine nearby, and then curiously examined the shelf with the honeycombs. Although he was curious about the items, he didn't touch them or take them randomly, and his cautious demeanor gave him a well-behaved impression.
After putting two slices of bread into the oven, Si Qinyu picked up one of the slices and asked in a natural tone, "Do you want some bread?"
Unexpectedly, the man would talk to her. Wu Lan was stunned for a moment, blushing and whispering, "Yes, thank you."
The hand holding the plate turned pale with nervousness. After the other party put the fragrant bread slices on her plate, Wu Lan felt embarrassed to continue following him, so she walked away with a red face.
After stopping being a follower, Wu Lan picked up some more bacon and sausages, put the plate back in its place, and went to get a cup of warm milk.
As soon as he sat down, he saw the man who was giving him a piece of bread passing by.
And the other party also saw him.
"Can I sit here, please?"
A gentle male voice sounded above her head. Wu Lan nodded, feeling a little embarrassed to continue looking at the other person. Her eyes were fixed on the sausages on the plate.
He couldn't understand why the man insisted on sitting with him when there were so many seats around.
"I'd probably prefer just butter on bread to blueberry jam."
Si Qinyu smiled, removed the paper wrapping of the butter block, and used a blade to spread the butter evenly on the bread slices.
“Of course, I’ll leave a small piece and spread it with blueberry jam. The sweet and sour taste is also very good.”
He showed the bread slices with the coating to Wu Lan, "You can also try this way of eating."
The man's attitude was very gentle, and he spread the bread very gracefully. Wu Lan noticed that his fingers were slender, with distinct joints, and the blue veins were clearly visible under his fair and even skin.
Feeling the kindness released by the man, Wu Lan picked up the bread slice and imitated the man's previous actions, spreading butter on the bread slice.
"is that so?"
"Yes, you did very well."
Unexpectedly, this would be praised. Wu Lan couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth and smiled sweetly at the other party.
Si Qinyu's hand holding the dinner knife suddenly tightened. Even now, he was a little surprised that he would take the initiative to join the boy and demonstrate to him.
These things had never happened in the first twenty years of his life.
"tasty!"
The boy's slightly surprised voice brought Si Qinyu back to his senses. Infected by the boy's surprised expression, he couldn't help but smile.
For some unknown reason, he wanted to get to know this young man, which was a rare occurrence.
Si Qinyu said his name and asked softly, "Can I be your friend?"
"all right."
When facing well-intentioned people, Wu Lan always opens her heart easily. After just a few words of conversation, her true feelings are almost known to others.
After learning that Wu Lan was not a tenant living here, Si Qinyu's eyes showed some surprise, "It must be difficult to win the lottery, you are really lucky."
“Good luck is also a kind of ability, which is great.”
Less than ten minutes after they met, Wu Lan was praised twice in a row by the other party.
The boy's face flushed slightly, untouched by the praise. He pursed his lips with a mixture of happiness and pride, poking 2720 with a cocky yet shy air. "Look, everyone's praising me for my good luck."
2720 agree, [Well, you are very lucky. ]
Just because of the compliments, Wu Lan felt that the bread slices tasted even better, and she also felt that Si Qinyu was a very nice person.
"So you're a painter?"
"Well, I'm just an artist." Si Qinyu said, "I'm going back to China to organize a personal art exhibition, so I have to live here for a while."
Wu Lan thought that anyone who could hold an art exhibition must be very talented, and he wanted to go and see it. "Where is the exhibition being held? Can I go and see it?"
Si Qinyu mentioned a place name and then said, "Of course you are welcome to come. It is my honor."
The two naturally exchanged contact information, and Si Qinyu had other things to do in the morning, so after breakfast, he said goodbye to Wu Lan and left.
The restaurant's breakfast hours are from 7:00 am to 11:00 am.
Wu Lan's stomach couldn't hold too much food, so she ate her fill early and sat down at her seat. During this time, she was urged by 2720 to slowly finish a small plate of fruit before leaving the hotel with a bulging belly.
2720 Give praise and affirmation at the right time. [Very good, no ooc.]
[I’m so full, so full, so full…] Wu Lan felt a little uncomfortable as she touched her swollen belly, her voice weak, [I feel like my stomach is going to burst.]
2720 thought about it and suggested taking a walk nearby to help digest the food.
There was only one large shopping mall nearby that was good for shopping, but Wu Lan didn't want to go to the mall and smell the strong and fuming perfume, so she finally decided to take a walk in the park near her home.
After riding the bus for more than ten minutes, Wu Lan felt that her stomach was not so bloated anymore, but she still felt uncomfortable.
After getting off the bus, he walked slowly towards the park.
Walking in the park and breathing fresh air is indeed much more comfortable than shopping in a mall.
Although it is noon and the temperature is high, the big trees in the park block the scorching sun, so it still feels somewhat cool when walking among them.
This park is very large, with a small pavilion by the lake and a sports field not far away that has been designated for citizen activities.
Passing by the basketball court, Wu Lan took a casual look and felt that the tall figure standing under the basketball hoop looked somewhat familiar.
He wanted to see it more clearly, but a few strangers came over and started talking to him.
"Hey, do you want to play with us?"
The person who was speaking had a shaved head and looked young. He was wearing a short-sleeved school uniform with the words "Xian Xian High School" written on the chest.
There were two other boys with him, both wearing the same school uniform.
But they were all much taller than Wu Lan. Wu Lan was surrounded by them and stood in the center. Not only did she look younger than them, but she also looked like a good student who was being taken to skip classes by them.
Because the other party was a student, Wu Lan was less vigilant.
He asked, "What are you playing?"
"Want to play basketball?" The tall guy with a crew cut pointed to the basketball court and said with a grin, "We're just short of one person."
“But I’m not very good at…”
"It doesn't matter, you'll learn it as you play."
Seeing Wu Lan's willingness, another boy spoke up and took Wu Lan's arm in a familiar manner, "We'll take you to play."
He was dragged to the basketball court, and when Wu Lan got closer, he found that the familiar figure was actually his tenant.
"Brother Shuo, we found someone."
These three high school students knew Lian Shuo. Wu Lan noticed that when Lian Shuo saw her, he was obviously stunned.
Seeing that Lian Shuo seemed to be pretending not to know him, Wu Lan also pretended not to know him.
Looking at the three boys who were a head taller than Wu Lan all crowded in front of Wu Lan and explained the rules of playing basketball, Lian Shuo pursed his lips, and no one knew what he was thinking in his darkened eyes.
After a while, he walked over and asked, "Do you understand the rules?"
The way to play basketball for five people is nothing more than a three-on-two half-time game, or taking turns to challenge each other and shoot at fixed points.
Since Wu Lan had never played basketball before, they decided to play a three-on-two mode.
The result of the draw was: three high school students formed a team, Wu Lan and Lian Shuo were on one team.
Wu Lan stood in the middle holding the ball. He looked at the three people in front of him who were eyeing his ball covetously. He felt a little scared and had the illusion that he was going to be knocked down.
Shaking his head to get rid of these strange thoughts, he remembered that Lian Shuo was on the same team as him, so he wanted to throw the ball to the other side.
Unexpectedly, he overestimated his strength and the ball was intercepted halfway. The boy with a crew cut dribbled the ball and rushed towards the basketball hoop.
But soon, the ball was in Lian Shuo's hands.
In the blink of an eye, the ball was thrown into the basket.
Wu Lan was a little surprised by Lian Shuo's playing skills. While she was still in a daze, Lian Shuo scored another goal.
"Brother Shuo, please let us go."
"Hey, let's have a ball!!"
Listening to the boys' exaggerated wailing, Wu Lan couldn't help but laugh, and happened to meet Lian Shuo's eyes.
Ignoring the howls, Lian Shuo walked over to Wu Lan naturally and asked in a low voice, "What are you laughing at?"
She was pretending not to know him just now, but now she comes over to talk to him.
Wu Lan put away her smile in a huff, left a few words and walked away.
"Laugh at you bullying them."
The game continues.
After that, Lian Shuo was basically the one shooting, and the three high school students only won by a few points, while Wu Lan hardly touched the ball.
Wu Lan's athletic ability is not very good, and she doesn't like to run after the ball, so she almost always wanders around the edge and slacks off.
I don’t know what went wrong, but the ball suddenly ended up in Wu Lan’s hands.
At this time, he was standing under the basketball hoop, and three high school students were rushing towards him with excitement on their faces.
Wu Lan blinked in confusion and instantly felt the ball in his hand was hot. He turned around in panic and tried to shoot, but he couldn't figure out the distance and strength of the shot.
It's over, he will definitely miss the shot.
Just as the bad thought formed in his mind, he suddenly felt someone approaching from behind him.
The next second, two large hands stretched out from behind, Wu Lan was lifted into the air, and the basketball hoop was right in front of him.
With a "clang", the basketball was thrown in.
Several footsteps were approaching. Wu Lan was put down by someone. Just as the tip of her shoe touched the ground, Lian Shuo's deep voice came from above her head, hiding a barely perceptible smile:
"Now you're bullying them too."
