Love (forty-five)
The little girl spoke in a soft voice and tilted her head to invite Lan Lan to sleep with her.
Lan Lan was surprised and looked up at her.
"Shall we sleep together?"
"Yes." Ruan Qi's eyes curved, "My family is full of brothers, and I've never slept with an older sister. Sister Lan Lan, would you consider me tonight?"
Lan Lan was exhausted, both physically and mentally, after arguing with Jiang Hengda. She had already prepared herself to hide in bed and cry for the night, but she hadn't expected Ruan Qi to offer to sleep with her.
Lan Lan deeply felt Ruan Qi's kindness, and her cold heart gradually warmed up.
However, she did not agree immediately, but turned to look at Xi Jiu.
Xi Jiu was standing next to Ruan Qi at this time.
The nearly 1.9-meter-tall man exuded a faint sense of resentment. His handsome face seemed expressionless, but Lan Lan could still see a hint of sadness in his eyes, unwilling to stay alone in an empty room.
Lan Lan was shocked by this aura of resentment and couldn't help asking Ruan Qi: "Xiao Qi will sleep with me, what will Master Xi do?"
Ruan Qi: "Jiujiu? Jiujiu can go sleep with my big brother."
When they were in the imperial capital, Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu didn't live together every day. Ruan Qi spent most of her time at home, while Xi Jiu lived alone in the courtyard house next door.
Therefore, Xi Jiu had long been accustomed to living alone. Ruan Qi didn't take it seriously and even thoughtfully arranged for Cheng Jinyan to be his roommate.
When Xi Jiu heard that he was going to sleep with Cheng Jinyan, the resentment on his face deepened.
He pursed his lips and lowered his voice: "Baby, I'm not used to sleeping in the same bed with others."
Ruan Qi raised her head and exclaimed "Huh?" in surprise.
"You're not used to sleeping in the same bed with others? Then how did you sleep when you were on missions in the army?"
"..." Xi Jiu choked when asked.
Whether it's the military or Q Base, going out on missions is a common occurrence. Sometimes the mission environment is harsh and there are no conditions for sleeping in a single room, so several teammates will squeeze together to make do for the night.
Therefore, Xi Jiu couldn't possibly be unaccustomed to sleeping in the same bed with others. He couldn't answer the question Ruan Qi asked.
Unable to answer, Xi Jiu looked even more depressed, his eyes full of resentment as if he had been abandoned by his wife.
Cheng Jinyan, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch any more. He adjusted his glasses and said mercilessly, "Master Xi, that's enough. You're almost thirty years old, what's wrong with sleeping alone for a night? Do you really have to rely on my sister to put you to sleep?"
Xi Jiu: "..."
It’s not impossible.
Perhaps because Xi Jiu's reluctance was too obvious, Lan Lan felt a little guilty and said to Ruan Qi, "Xiao Qi, it's okay for me to sleep alone. You should go back and sleep with Master Xi."
"How can that be?" Ruan Qi disagreed. "Sister Lanlan, you're still injured. I need to give you acupuncture. It's settled. I'll sleep with you tonight. Sister Lanlan, see if there's anything you need to bring. I'll help you pack it and take it all next door."
Ruan Qi stood up and hurriedly helped Lan Lan pack her luggage.
Ji Beibei, who was standing by, was infected by her emotions and couldn't help but have an idea in her mind.
"How about I sleep with Sister Lan Lan? Director, is the bed in the next room big enough?"
Ji Beibei turned and asked the director.
The director nodded: "It's big enough, two 1.5 meter beds, four girls can sleep there without any problem."
When Ge Mei, who was standing at the door, heard this, he immediately became restless.
"It can sleep four people, right? Then I'll stay with Lan Lan. The four of us girls will stay together tonight, so we can talk in private."
No matter how old a girl is, she likes to sleep in the same bed with like-minded friends and talk privately.
Ruan Qi's words immediately stirred Ji Beibei and Ge Mei. Lan Lan, who needed company, looked at the director with a fluttering expression.
The director naturally had no objection to the four female guests living together, as this was such a good idea.
It's just a few men who need to stay alone in an empty room...
"Ah? Wife, you won't stay with me tonight?" Shi Su was dumbfounded, unable to understand why he was suddenly left alone.
Si Lin was also a little reluctant, and he pulled the corner of Ji Beibei's clothes and poked her secretly.
And Xi Jiu still stood there, continuing to create an atmosphere of resentment.
But several girls have already made up their minds that programs like "Girlfriends' Night Talk" are more attractive than their husbands, and they can't wait to move.
Ge Mei: "It's settled. Let's send Lan Lan next door first, then everyone go back to their rooms to pack up before going over."
——
Ruan Qi and the others first sent Lan Lan to the bedroom next door.
After Lan Lan settled down, several girls returned to their rooms and packed a few things they would need for sleeping at night.
When Ruan Qi returned to her and Xi Jiu's bedroom, Xi Jiu was sitting alone on the edge of the big bed.
Xi Jiu only sat on a narrow edge of the 1.8-meter-wide bed. The empty bed made him look lonely and desolate.
Ruan Qi's footsteps suddenly stopped.
"Jiujiu, let me get the steam eye mask and the phone."
As she spoke, she walked over quickly, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you go live with your brother?"
Ruan Qi walked up to Xi Jiu and raised her hand to touch his hair.
But as soon as she raised her hand, Xi Jiu grabbed it and hugged her tightly.
The man sitting on the bed hugged her waist tightly, put his face on her upper abdomen, and said with reluctance: "I don't want to live with my brother."
Xi Jiu's voice was as cold and deep as ever.
But Ruan Qi inexplicably heard the grievance and...coquettishness in his words.
Yes, the man seemed to be acting like a spoiled child. Because she was going to accompany Lan Lan, he was unwilling.
A man who is usually as cold and hard as ice can only kill people and not act like a spoiled child.
The sudden attack at this moment was as lethal to Ruan Qi as a nuclear weapon.
Her heart began to beat uncontrollably, and her brows couldn't help but curve.
"Jiujiu, are you acting like a spoiled child?" She lowered her head to look at him.
The man's face was pressed tightly against her abdomen. After a moment, he uttered a muffled "hmm".
"Baby, I'm used to holding you while sleeping."
Ruan Qi blinked: "But you used to live with your teammates?"
"It's different." Xi Jiu held her arm tighter, "Now I'm used to eating delicacies from land and sea, and it's impossible to go from luxury to simplicity."
Before Ruan Qi, Xi Jiu's only goal was to stay alive. Whether the person living next to him was a teammate or a dog was irrelevant to him.
But now, he has long been accustomed to falling asleep with the soft and sweet little girl in his arms.
He was used to the tenderness with Ruan Qi before going to bed every night, and he was also used to seeing Ruan Qi's rosy face when he opened his eyes every morning.
Compared with his current life, Xi Jiu feels that the days when he slept with his teammates during missions were worse than pigs and dogs.
There was no way, what he was eating now was really... too good.
Mr. Xi: Men who act like spoiled brats have the best fate
