Chapter 59: I Want to Sleep with You
Nan Jiao couldn't hold back her tears any longer. She looked up at him and asked, "You don't blame me? You really don't blame me?"
Lu Xiao hugged her tighter: "You are the most important person to me, and the best person to me. How could I blame you? I will never blame you."
He reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Don't cry."
"But what can I do if I can't help it? I feel like crying whenever I see you..."
Lu Xiao cupped her face, gently kissed away her tears, and pulled her into his arms again: "Your tears are bitter. If you keep crying, I'll cry with you. But my shoulder is just bandaged, and if I move too much, it might bleed. We won't end up with blood splattered all over our faces while we're crying, will we?"
Hearing his serious tone, Nan Jiao was successfully amused by him: "Are you sick, Lu Xiao? What, how am I supposed to get emotional when you're like this?"
“I don’t like sentimentality, and I especially don’t like you crying. I like seeing you smile, and I like you loving me a little more…” He suddenly raised an eyebrow and said, “You can make it up to me in another way, like… you can kiss me.”
"Give me a kiss?"
Lu Xiao had already brought his face close.
Nan Jiao's cheeks were a little red. Although they were an old married couple, she rarely took the initiative and it had been a long time since she had kissed him.
But seeing his adorable glance at her out of the corner of her eye, she slowly leaned in and kissed him on the cheek.
Suddenly, without warning, he turned his head to the side, swallowing Nan Jiao's exclamation.
His kisses were as impulsive and headstrong as he was. Despite having kissed her many times, Lu Xiao always acted like a young boy who wanted to devour her whole.
He had absolutely no skill; his kisses were purely instinctive and intuitive.
He slowed down a little when he noticed that Nan Jiao was having trouble breathing, and then continued to kiss her fiercely once she had recovered.
A few minutes later, Nan Jiao felt a tingling and numb sensation in her lips and tongue.
A glass of water was handed to her, and after she drank it, she saw Lu Xiao's expectant gaze: "I want to drink water too."
Nan Jiao held the water glass in her hand to his lips: "Drink."
Lu Xiao stared at her for a few seconds: "I don't drink from the water glass."
Nan Jiao frowned slightly, puzzled for a few seconds, then suddenly seemed to remember something. She suppressed her shyness, drank some water, and then pressed her lips to his.
Just as a knock on the door abruptly interrupted him, Lu Xiao asked irritably, "Who is it?"
A childish voice came from outside the door: "Daddy, Yan Yan has come to see you."
It's his beloved son.
Lu Xiao calmed down and was just about to think of an excuse to send Yan Yan away when he saw his wife leading their son into the house with a doting expression.
Yan Yan came with the housekeeper.
Yan Yan, led by Nan Jiao, walked over and lay worriedly by the bedside: "Dad, are you alright? I heard you were injured."
Lu Xiao ruffled his hair: "Don't worry, Dad is invulnerable. This little injury will heal in a couple of days."
"Dad, you must be careful in the future, so that you don't get your arm bitten off by a shark again."
Lu Xiao glanced at the butler.
The butler explained, "It's like this, the young master heard that you fell into the sea and got injured, so he thought you were bitten by a shark."
"This injury wasn't from a shark bite, it's just a regular gunshot wound. But Dad promises you, I'll be more careful next time."
*
After resting in the hospital for two days, they returned home at Lu Xiao's insistence.
Now everyone in the store could see the change in their relationship. Although they seemed very sweet a while ago, there was a sense of restraint and tension.
The two of them seem to be surrounded by a pink bubble, which is truly enviable.
Sure enough, quite a few people came in to joke and congratulate:
"Looks like the store manager and Brother Lu really did get back together. Congratulations! I told you so, no one is more compatible than you two!"
"What do you mean, 'you said'? I clearly said it first! I could tell at a glance that the store manager and Brother Lu are a match made in heaven!"
"Yanyan must be so happy! The little guy used to struggle every day with whether to play with his dad or his mom. Haha, now he doesn't have to struggle anymore. The three of them can play together!"
...
Hearing this, Yan Yan nodded eagerly, her little face beaming with smiles: "Yan Yan is the happiest child in the world! Because Yan Yan has the best parents in the world, and older brothers and sisters who are willing to play with Yan Yan!"
People around burst into laughter: "Oh my, Yan Yan's little mouth is so sweet, it's like it's been coated with honey."
Nan Jiao looked at Yan Yan, her heart also filled with indescribable emotion.
Someone joked, "Such a big and good thing has happened, is the store manager sure he doesn't want to give out red envelopes so everyone can share in the joy?"
“Send it,” Lu Xiao said. “I’ll send it.”
The crowd erupted in jubilation.
With Lu Xiao giving everyone a red envelope containing 80,000 star coins, everyone was full of energy at work.
Because Lu Xiao's body had not fully recovered, Nan Jiao urged him to go inside and rest.
Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at his own guest room, he started making trouble, coughing while covering his mouth, saying, "Cough cough... the lighting in here is bad, it's a backlit room, and I'm sick now, I need to be in the sunlight more. Cough cough... I feel short of breath as soon as I came into this room..."
Nan Jiao listened attentively and pondered.
“I see that your bedroom has great natural light, I’ll move in.”
Hearing this, Nan Jiao realized what his purpose was. She pretended not to understand and teased him: "But I have trees planted on my side, and the trees block the sunlight. Why don't you go and sleep in the same room as our son? Yan Yan's room faces the sun."
"It's okay if the tree blocks the sunlight. Actually, I really like trees. I've been having trouble sleeping lately, and looking at the tree might help me fall asleep. Besides, that little Yan Yan likes to talk in her sleep at night, so I can't sleep."
"Too……"
Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Lu Xiao couldn't help but smile, but the next second he heard her say:
"Then I'll move out for you. You're a patient now, so I should be more considerate of you."
“No…” He paused, “Your room is quite big, I think it can fit two people, or I could have the renovation team come and remodel it?”
Nan Jiao couldn't help but laugh, crossing her arms as she looked at him: "Lu Xiao, all you've said is that you want to sleep in the same room as me. This is the first time I've realized you're so scheming."
Lu Xiao remained unfazed when his act was exposed, and deliberately played the victim, saying, "I'm injured now, and it's even difficult for me to hold a water glass. Wife, are you sure you want to see me so miserable?"
He turned his head and said pitifully, "Okay, at worst I'll fall off the bed and not be able to get up, or I'll break a water glass and be thirsty all night. It's okay, I won't die anyway."
Nan Jiao was defeated by him: "I'm really impressed with you, Lu Xiao. You should move back."
Lu Xiao immediately looked smug, grabbed his blanket, and followed Nan Jiao into the bedroom with a satisfied expression.
