The night was deep.
From the second floor of the Bai family villa, intermittent, indistinct calls could be heard from time to time.
Sometimes he's called "brother," sometimes "husband"...
The ordeal finally ended peacefully at 2 a.m., before Director Luo received his compensation of not getting fish.
Si Jin struggled to turn over and reach for the water on the bedside table.
But a large hand stopped him.
The boy's eyes were still slightly red and glistening.
Her voice was hoarse, and she pouted in grievance:
My throat hurts.
Luo Linyuan patted his shoulder reassuringly and put the child back on the bed.
"That water is too cold. I'll go boil some water for you. It'll be ready in a bit."
As she spoke, she put on her bathrobe and got out of bed.
A moment later, a cup of hot water was brought over.
Si Jin tried it on, the temperature was just right, and asked:
"It takes at least ten minutes to boil a kettle of water, right?"
"Indeed." The fox took the water glass the boy handed him.
"But you don't need to boil a cup of water."
Si Jin leaned softly against him, weak and listless: "Uncle, I'm so sleepy."
Her voice had a slightly grainy quality, much like someone whining.
Luo Linyuan lay back down beside him, holding the boy in his arms, and said gently:
"Sleep now, I'm holding you."
Si Jin found a comfortable spot to lie down, but then became restless again.
"Uncle, I want to hear you tell a story."
"Okay." Luo Linyuan's deep, pleasant voice echoed above his head:
"Let me think about it."
"Once upon a time, there was a little white rabbit. He was cute but fierce, and he killed a big bad wolf that made him unhappy."
"Then, the little rabbit put the wolf skin on itself, hoping to scare the other small animals in the forest."
"Later, a beautiful and kind fox discovered the little rabbit's plot, lured it back to its den, and then, howling, howling, howling, it ate the little rabbit."
Si Jin snorted, snuggled closer to him, and muttered something.
"That doesn't sound good. I think the little white rabbit wants to eat the fox."
“Yes,” Luo Linyuan retorted.
"So, it went to the fox den and was eaten by the fox. Jinjin..."
Looking at the handsome young man in his arms, Luo Linyuan suddenly wanted to ask a question:
What is our relationship in your heart?
Asking this question suddenly caused Director Luo, who was invincible in the entertainment industry, to feel a sense of fear for no apparent reason.
He was very shrewd from a young age, loved to navigate the business world, and was used to controlling his own destiny.
They sell someone out and then have to help them count the money.
However, when facing the boy, he suddenly lost his courage and his heart was filled with unease.
Si Jin was already in a daze.
Without thinking, he mumbled:
"A relationship based on mutual benefit, a sexual partner, a benefactor... it's all fine... whatever makes Uncle happy..."
Luo Linyuan's eyes gradually darkened.
Si Jin's answer was not what he wanted.
He loves the person in his arms.
When Weibo got into trouble today, he probably wanted to make a grand announcement to the world.
This is my person.
However, Si Jin would not agree.
Because in Si Jin's heart.
He was just a random bed partner he picked up at a bar...
Luo Linyuan gently pushed the boy away: "But I don't want us to be like this. I want to be with you, with you..."
Si Jin slightly opened her eyes a crack.
In a daze, it felt as if I had returned to the day I blew up the Heavenly Realm.
He lay exhausted in the boundless darkness, using the last of his strength to look up at his god.
Si Jin asked, "How about with me?"
"I want to marry you and be with you forever."
A simple sentence, like a drop of clear water, crossed a solid barrier and splashed into the boy's heart, which was as scalding as boiling oil.
Then the rivers and seas churned, and the sky collapsed and the earth cracked.
It got out of control.
Si Jin suddenly perked up and quietly looked at Luo Linyuan, who was standing close by.
Her slender fingers traced his handsome features, and she spoke softly:
"But what if I can't find you in my next life?"
