Chapter 240: Like a Fishbone Stuck in the Throat
Lu Qiu just felt like his breath was stuck there, and he felt very suffocated.
For the first time, he felt that the phrase "like a fishbone stuck in the throat" was actually a very vivid adjective.
Lu Qiu looked at Xia Wange again, tore off his coat which was already in a mess, climbed onto the bed, and then picked up the quilt from the ground with his backhand.
If he hadn't been exercising his atrophied calf muscles recently, he might not have been able to climb up on his own.
The moment he pulled the quilt away, Lu Qiu prepared a bunch of retorts, but when he turned around and saw Xia Wange sitting there, his eyes still pointed and pointed at her. However, because the pajamas she was wearing were too loose, half of her clothes had slipped off her shoulders, revealing a shoulder strap of the black tight vest underneath.
I just remembered being blamed, but I didn't see her wearing her pajamas...
For a moment, Lu Qiu didn't know what to say. He could only hold back the words that were about to come out of his mouth, raised his hand to help her hold up her collar, and muttered softly, "Old cunning (shoulder) is very cunning."
"What?" Xia Wange didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"
"I say..." Lu Qiu straightened the quilt on his body and recovered his mood, "I say, I sleep in my own house, in my own bed, can't I sleep without clothes?"
"There are outsiders in your house!" Xia Wange said.
"Outsider? Who?" Lu Qiu glanced at Xia Wange, "You? Are you an outsider?"
Xia Wange raised her eyebrows.
Lu Qiu covered himself with the quilt and lay down. "No one outside would just rush onto my bed, strip me of my clothes, and then push me off the bed and say I'm not wearing any clothes."
After saying that, Lu Qiu glanced at Xia Wange and said, "You fake outsider, why are you staring at me instead of sleeping?"
"I'm wondering when you will discover the talisman stuck on your pants." Xia Wange said.
Frowning slightly, Lu Qiu stood up and looked at his pajamas. He didn't find anything, but when he touched it carefully, he found that the talisman paper was actually stuck inside his pajamas?
"When...Xia Wange, are your hands so quick?"
He didn't feel it at all just now.
"What if the ghost sees you if you stick to the outside? If you don't stick to me, I can't possibly pull your pants off..." Xia Wange said as a matter of course, "Luckily, my hands are fast, otherwise the ghost wouldn't have been able to hit you just now."
"Then I should thank you for leaving me some underwear?"
"You're welcome. It's my honor."
The three words were spoken with great force.
Lu Qiu took several deep breaths before calming down.
He lay back down and closed his eyes for a while, then he opened his eyes and looked at Xia Wange: "Aren't you going back to sleep?"
He was really afraid that he would be pissed to death if he slept with Xia Wange in the same bed. Looking back on all his experiences, nothing good had ever happened when they slept in the same bed.
Sometimes I really want to knock her out.
"I have to cover myself with your blanket to hide my aura, otherwise they will come straight to me." Xia Wange said, "Also, put on my pajamas. There is a talisman paper drawn with blood inside my pajamas that can attract people in a certain direction. And I am here to protect you."
"More tonight?" When Lu Qiu heard the talisman paper she drew with blood, he quickly picked up his pajamas and put them on. Although it was very hot and the pajamas were a little small, he still buttoned them up, "Don't use blood in the future, it will hurt."
"Chicken blood," Xia Wange said, "and mixed with the ashes of my hair and nails."
Lu Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. What he least wanted was for Xia Wange to hurt herself because of him, even if it meant bleeding.
He will blame himself.
Thinking that it was not Xia Wange's blood, he felt a little relieved. His clothes were too tight, so he unbuttoned a few buttons.
"Why don't you wear something underneath?" Xia Wange saw Lu Qiu wearing her pajamas close to his body, with a large area of muscle exposed at the neckline. She tried to look away several times but failed.
"It's hot." Lu Qiu said, "Although your pajamas are loose, they are much smaller for me."
Xia Wange choked and lifted the hem of her loose pajamas a little, revealing the corner of her tight black vest. "Look, you don't have any sense of crisis. I always sleep in clothes that are ready to run away at any time... ahem, ready to fight at any time. I dare not close my eyes completely when I sleep. I have to open one eye and close the other to sleep in shifts."
"And every time I go to a fight, I have to wear tight clothes. If the corners of my clothes get loose, it will affect my fighting ability and give others a handle to use against me."
At this point, Xia Wange snorted, "I really envy you people who sleep soundly and can wear whatever you want."
Lu Qiu's eyelashes trembled slightly. He glanced at Xia Wange, and remembered how Xia Wange always looked sleepy in the office during the day. His heart softened immediately. He pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice: "If I block the ghosts like this, can it be counted as your merit?"
"It counts." Xia Wange said, "Including the ones from the manor. After all, they came for me in the beginning and wanted to deal with me, but you stopped them. But as the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, so the merit is still mine."
Lu Qiu: “…”
This is the first time I’ve heard the saying “Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor” applied to myself.
"How long will your merits last now?" Lu Qiu tried his best to speak calmly, but he found that his voice was trembling when he said the second half of the sentence.
"Sporadic, about sixteen months." Xia Wange said with a smile, "It's a lot."
Lu Qiu didn't say anything for a moment.
"What about you?" Xia Wange asked, "Where are your legs?"
"The calf moves down a little bit." Lu Qiu said, "That's good."
"That's good." Xia Wange smiled.
"Xia Wange." Lu Qiu turned to look at her. "How about you wait two more days before going to Kyoto? Wait until I have arranged things here..."
"I'm just going to hang out there and take a look." Xia Wange said, "I'm not stupid. I can't really go against them. How can I fight against an organization alone? My head hasn't been caught in a door before."
Lu Qiu was silent for a moment. After about five minutes, he heard some noise in the living room, so he lowered his voice and asked, "There seems to be something outside."
He was answered by a very soft snoring.
Lu Qiu: “?”
He looked over carefully in the dim light and found that Xia Wange was already fast asleep and in a deep sleep.
The noise outside was slowly approaching.
Lu Qiu: “…”
Didn’t they say they were going to protect him, so they had two eyes taking turns to guard him?
So he is the one with the open eyes on duty?
He suddenly thought of this man who slept with a mute note on his face, and slept so soundly that he could fall off the bed every time. Moreover, his best record was that he could sleep for 24 hours, eat a meal, and then go back to sleep again...
