Imperial Garden.
After finishing dinner, Lin Xi went back to her room to sleep.
She lay in bed for a long time without falling asleep, and in the last few days she had gotten used to sleeping while holding Fu Jingyao.
I'm not used to not having a large hand warmer around.
Lin Xi rolled around, still unable to fall asleep.
She frantically pounded the blanket, "Ahhh! Oh no, I've got insomnia. Habits are such a terrible thing."
I've grown accustomed to Fu Jingyao's warmth, to the scent of purple qi, and to his body.
Lying in the cold bed, Lin Xi was wide awake, longing for Fu Jingyao's body.
"Ahhh!"
She clutched her pillow and cried out, "I can do it, I can definitely fall asleep."
A flash appeared on her wrist, and Xiao Mu's voice came out, "Master, you can't."
Lin Xi sat up abruptly. "I can do it."
You can't.
"I can do it."
"No, that's not allowed."
Lin Xi grabbed Xiao Mu and said, "Why are you contradicting me? Who's your master?"
Xiao Mu hugged her arm and said in a coquettish voice, "Of course Xiao Mu knows, Xi Xi is my master."
Xi Xi...
"Oh no," Lin Xi thought, her mind automatically replaying the expression and tone of Fu Jingyao when he called that name.
"Xixi, can I hug you?"
"Xixi, does your stomach still hurt?"
"Xixi, Xixi..."
Now, Lin Xi couldn't sleep even more and desperately wanted to see the man next door.
The book is right, beauty can be misleading.
Seeing its master's expression, Xiao Mu understood everything.
Oh dear, the owner has unknowingly fallen in love with her pet.
As a learned and experienced elf, Xiaomu naturally wanted to lend a helping hand to its master.
Little Wood skipped and hopped, "Master, let me tell you a story."
"What story?" Lin Xi rested her chin on her hand. "Tell me."
Xiao Mu spoke while gesturing.
"Once upon a time, there was a proud cat named Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan's owner loved her very much, but Yuanyuan ignored her owner. Gradually, the owner became disheartened and stopped caring about her."
"Yuanyuan panicked when she couldn't see her owner. She desperately searched for her owner, trying to win back her owner's love, but it was too late. Her owner had found another cat, and Yuanyuan had lost her owner's love forever."
"This story teaches us to cherish the present and the people in front of us, or we'll regret it for the rest of our lives."
In psychology, this is called the abandoned cat effect.
Xiao Mu raised his hands, "So, if your master misses your treasure, hurry up and go find him. If he has another cat later, your master will regret it."
Lin Xi's lips twitched. Her little head seemed to know quite a lot, spouting a whole set of profound truths.
She gently tapped Xiaomu's forehead. "Tell me honestly, how many random books have you read?"
Xiao Mu chuckled, "There are so many, so many, I could talk about them for three days and three nights. I am the most knowledgeable little elf."
He gave Lin Xi a push, "Master, you should go quickly."
After some encouragement from Xiao Mu, Lin Xi stood in front of Fu Jingyao's door, clutching a pillow. She wanted to knock but didn't dare, and the story of Yuan Yuan came to mind.
She and Fu Jingyao got married because of an agreement between their master and Grandpa Fu, and there was no emotional foundation between them.
She didn't like Fu Jingyao, and Fu Jingyao didn't like her either.
The engagement between the two was forced from the beginning. What should she do if Fu Jingyao falls in love with another cat?
She needs the purple aura to prolong her life...
Lin Xi slapped her forehead.
No, she's been led astray by Xiaomu; she's not a cat.
They are married, and Fu Jingyao is hers, and will always be hers.
Just as Lin Xi was hesitating, the door opened.
"Xixi, is something wrong?"
The man was wearing black pajamas, seemingly just woken up, his deep voice slightly hoarse, sexy and alluring.
Lin Xi lowered her head, not daring to look at him. "Um, I'm fine, no, something's wrong..."
The little girl buried her head in the pillow, revealing her round back of the head, and her two ears were a light pink color; she was extremely cute.
Yes, his wife is absolutely adorable.
Fu Jingyao chuckled, reached out and pulled the person in front of him into his arms, his hand touching her stomach. "Does it still hurt?"
"ah?"
The burning fingertips traced across her skin, pressing tightly against her abdomen, and Lin Xi felt as if she had been electrocuted, her whole body going limp.
She gave a few perfunctory replies, "Oh, oh, um."
Xi Xi's face turned pale, and she was in so much pain that she could barely stand and could not speak clearly.
Fu Jingyao picked up the person in his arms and walked steadily to the bedside.
Lin Xi entered his room completely bewildered, her mind already blank.
As the saying goes, falling in love lowers your IQ.
The man placed her on the bed, pulled out a pillow from his arms, and chuckled softly, "Xixi brought her own pillow, how about sleeping here with me tonight?"
Lin Xi's face turned bright red; this development seemed a bit inappropriate for children.
She stammered, "Sleep here?"
"Mmm." Fu Jingyao naturally got into bed and put one arm around her waist. "Just like a few days ago, I'll hold you while you sleep, and your stomach will feel better."
"Oh, I see." Lin Xi closed her eyes and lay down. "Let's go to sleep, we have to go to work tomorrow."
She misunderstood and thought that sleeping meant that.
"Go to sleep." Fu Jingyao turned off the light and gently stroked her abdomen.
Lying on this bed for the first time, Lin Xi felt a little uncomfortable; the whole place smelled of Fu Jingyao.
Take a breath, and you'll feel a full dose of purple aura.
Lin Xi rolled over, then rolled back over, and rolled over again.
"Xixi, don't move around."
In the darkness, the man's eyes were deep and unfathomable, his breathing grew heavier and heavier, and his voice became hoarse and barely audible.
