"Sigh..." Xu Moran felt a little guilty for denying what she had said against her conscience. She quickly finished her milk and left the kitchen.
When they reached the kitchen door, they remembered something, turned around and looked behind them, only to see Xu Ye still standing in the same spot.
She realized that the person was no longer in the same spot, because a huge double-door refrigerator had taken up a lot of space in the kitchen. After taking the milk from Xu Ye and finishing it, she and Xu Ye were practically standing side by side.
For no apparent reason, the temperature on my face suddenly rose considerably.
Xu Moran returned to her room and had just picked up the book she had dropped from the bed when Xu Ye also entered the bedroom.
He arrived just in time, just as Xu Moran had a question for him: "Did you change the mattress?"
This is a classic case of asking a question you already know the answer to. Isn't it obvious? Besides her, there's only Xu Ye in this house. As a dog, Xiao Mei, no matter how smart, wouldn't buy or change a mattress.
The only possibility is Xu Ye.
Xu Ye stepped forward, lowered the sheet that Xu Moran had lifted before rushing into the bathroom, and even dusted it off with the back of his hand. It was a very simple action, yet there wasn't a single wrinkle on the sheet.
At this moment, Xu Moran naturally wouldn't praise him; she was waiting for his answer.
The man looked at her, their eyes met in mid-air, and Xu Moran saw a smile in his long, narrow phoenix eyes.
He answered irrelevantly, looking into Xu Moran's eyes and saying with a smile, "Ranran, you look really beautiful today."
Xu Moran is a man of principle. Isn't that obvious? As a police officer, and now a criminal investigator, if he can't even resist sugar-coated bullets, how can he be a police officer and how can he serve the people?
She replied to the man without any politeness, "Oh, really? I'm sorry, I've always felt that I'm not destined to be good-looking."
If it were an ordinary man, and he were to compliment a woman, she would definitely feel embarrassed if she were so clueless. But Xu Ye was not like that.
Without blinking, he continued to insist on his statement, "Ranran, those people who say you're not pretty are just jealous of you. Don't believe them. Believe me, you really look beautiful today."
Xu Moran snorted coldly, "Really? Thank you for the compliment. Okay, now that you've praised my beauty, shouldn't you tell me when this mattress was replaced and how much it cost?"
Is the mattress expensive or cheap? Just look at the home appliances Xu Ye replaced at home, and it's clear.
In other words, cheap things simply don't appeal to him.
"Ranran." Xu Ye's gaze slowly moved downwards, landing on Xu Moran's hands. "You have such a cultured air about you, so refined..."
Xu Moran let out a soft sigh, raised his hand, and pointed the cover of the book he was holding at Xu Ye, so that he could clearly see what kind of book it was.
Sure enough, when Xu Ye saw what was written on the book cover, the word "Han" that he hadn't yet uttered got stuck in his throat.
No matter how much he lies and exaggerates, he can't possibly praise Xu Moran, who has a book called "One Hundred Ways to Cook Home-Style Dishes," for being so knowledgeable.
However, don't forget, he is Xiao Anhe. After a slight pause, he immediately thought of the best words, "Ranran, you are indeed well-rounded, both inside and out. I admire you so much. Can I get your autograph?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he actually pretended to ask Xu Moran to sign his autograph.
Xu Moran was both amused and exasperated by him. Sure enough, the people he picked up in the middle of the night were just that unreliable.
Forget it, the mattress is already on the bed, so there's no point in asking how much it cost. Anyway, no one is asking her for money, so Xu Ye probably bought it with her own money.
The book she read before bed couldn't possibly be the "100 Ways to Cook Everyday Dishes" in her hand; it was just something she randomly picked up and went back to the bookshelf to get another book.
The person, who had just picked up a poetry book suitable for reading before bed and was already lying on the sofa, suddenly remembered something and said to her, "Ranran, the money for the mattress needs to be paid by tomorrow at the latest."
One sentence instantly stirred up a huge wave of discussion, at least for Xu Moran.
She leaned back against the bookshelf, her gaze fixed intently on the man half-reclining on the bed. "How much?"
No matter how hard I try to control it, I can't stop myself from clenching my teeth.
Xu Ye looked her over, his tone full of consideration, "Ranran, why don't we talk about it after you sit down on the bed?"
"Heh." Xu Moran sneered, "Looks like you're afraid I have too low a mental capacity and will just faint!"
Xu Ye looked guilty and tried to get off the sofa bed to help Xu Moran sit down on the edge of the bed, but Xu Moran didn't give him a chance. Seeing him about to get up, she raised her hand and shouted at him, "You're not allowed to move. I can do it myself!"
One thing she could never forget was that Xu Ye was still injured and couldn't do strenuous exercise.
Ten seconds later, Xu Moran, who had already sat down on the edge of the bed, took several deep breaths before turning to look at the man on the sofa bed. "Speak."
Xu Ye looked at her cautiously, fearing that she might lose her composure, and tentatively asked, "Ranran, are you ready? Can I really tell you now?"
Xu Moran was furious. "Speak now, immediately!"
Xu Ye seemed startled by Xu Moran's tone. He gripped the cup with both hands, brought the corner of the cup to his lips, and looked utterly aggrieved.
From Xu Moran's perspective, he was biting the corner of the blanket, and he looked like he was about to cry at any moment.
She couldn't help but soften her heart and secretly told herself that being beautiful meant she could be a little willful. Oh well, she'd already bought it, so she shouldn't blame him anymore.
"Ranran." Xu Ye clutched the corner of the blanket for a while, as if making up her mind, before continuing what Xu Moran had just said, "I'll tell you the price of the mattress right now, the original price was fifty-five thousand..."
Fifty-five thousand!
The number had barely hit her eardrums when Xu Moran nearly jumped out of bed; she was really just one step away.
