Who are you threatening?
I have to go back to work tomorrow.
So Lu Xinyang still has to sleep with Ji Rongyu tonight.
"Did I agree?" Ji Rongyu looked at him coldly. "I have a poor ability to adapt. You even beat me up before I went to sleep last night. So I don't want to see you tonight. You should understand."
"I don't really want to understand..." Lu Xinyang hesitantly moved to the bed. He just pulled up a corner of the duvet on Ji Rongyu, but Ji Rongyu pulled it back forcefully: "This is mine, don't touch it."
Lu Xinyang blinked his eyes: "Where's my quilt? Oh, my pillow is gone too."
"They've all been put away." Ji Rongyu said.
"I get it, you're testing me," Lu Xinyang confidently stood up, opened the top shelf of the wardrobe, and took out the quilt and pillow that Ji Rongyu had just stuffed in. He happily climbed onto the bed, "Look, I passed the test! Next time I come to your house, I can make my own bed."
Ji Rongyu immediately pushed him away: "Who told you there would be a next time?!"
"Hiss!" Ji Rongyu's hand was a bit too heavy, and Lu Xinyang gasped while holding his side. Ji Rongyu recalled the feeling and felt something was wrong: "What's wrong?"
Lu Xinyang put down the quilt and pillow, lifted up his clothes and let Ji Rongyu take a look. There was a conspicuous large yellow-purple bruise on the side of his waist. It was the bruise from the previous fall that had not been rubbed out. Now, an unnatural lump could be felt under the skin.
"You didn't apply the medicine?" Ji Rongyu lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, "I'll go get you some medicinal wine."
"No more wiping, no more wiping, I'm so sleepy." Lu Xinyang took the opportunity to bury his whole head in the quilt, but Ji Rongyu didn't let him get on the bed, so he stuck his butt out and arched his waist, leaving most of his body exposed on the edge of the bed.
His voice was muffled and sticky. I couldn't tell if he was too sleepy to stand or if he was just being coquettish. His legs were shaking so hard he almost wagged his tail. "Just let me come up and sleep. Xiao Tang said the medicine was too strong and pungent when she was applying it on me. Your room smells so good, and I don't want to drive away the fragrance."
"...Don't think I'll give in to you just because you pretend to be pitiful." Ji Rongyu said as he pulled his duvet towards the edge of the bed.
Lu Xinyang raised his head, rummaging through the pillow for a while with his messy black hair, then took out the red envelope he had stuffed into the pillowcase last night and handed it to Ji Rongyu: "Here, this is the New Year's money your grandfather gave me yesterday. Now that the New Year's money is over, it's yours. You should reduce the amount I owe you."
"Don't think I'll let you go just because you pay me back," Ji Rongyu accepted the red envelope, picked up his pillow and slapped it next to his own pillow, "This won't happen again."
Lu Xinyang said, "Happy ending!" and then rolled onto the bed.
"You'd better not disturb my sleep tonight," Ji Rongyu moved closer to the bed and turned over with a hint of disgust, "otherwise I will kill you in my dreams tonight."
"Are you sure?" Lu Xinyang asked in surprise, "You have me in your bed, and I'm in your dreams too. I've made a lot of money, right? I've made it twice!"
Ji Rongyu: “…………”
Ji Rongyu turned over suddenly and wanted to kill him right now, but his vision went dark. Lu Xinyang had already turned off the lights, adjusted his posture, said good night, and then made the sound of even breathing in his sleep.
Ji Rongyu: “……………………”
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Xinyang went to bed early and got up early. He got out of bed quietly, walked to the balcony in slippers to check on the chickens. The chickens were doing well, eating and drinking, and they didn't leave any leftovers for him. Then he looked at the turtle, and its eggs were still round and plump.
Everyone was fine, and Lu Xinyang was very relieved. He went to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth. Just as he finished cleaning himself, he saw that Ji Guanghui's door was open. He leaned in and said good morning.
Ji Guanghui was sitting at the desk wearing a dark brown woolen hat, with a small desk lamp on. He was holding a magnifying glass in his hand and concentrating on studying his superstitious pocket book.
"Xiaolu, are you up? What do you want to eat in the morning?" Ji Guanghui turned around and looked at him with a cheerful smile.
"I'm fine with that. I'll eat whatever you guys eat." Lu Xinyang pushed the door open a little more and asked, "Can I come in?"
"Sure, why not?"
Lu Xinyang came in and went straight to the wall where the desk was leaning against. He pulled the half-open curtains closer, revealing a whole wall and the awards posted on it. "Wow, Ji Rongyu has so many awards. How many are there? Are all the awards he's received since he was a child here?"
Ji Guanghui laughed so hard that she couldn't stop: "Then I don't know how many there are, you can count them yourself."
Lu Xinyang actually started counting them, and while doing so he said regretfully, "It would look really nice if they were posted like this. Alas, my dad refused to help me put up the certificates on the wall."
"Why?"
"Because I've never won a certificate, I asked him to go to the stationery store and buy some so I could write it myself, but he refused," Lu Xinyang said. "So, the red scarf I received when I was a member of the fourth batch of Young Pioneers is on my wall."
He gestured: "I took the red scarf, enlarged it, embroidered my name on it, put it in a frame, and hung it here."
"...Oh," Ji Guanghui thought about the year when Ji Rongyu didn't bring home a certificate of honor, but couldn't remember it. "That, that looks good too. Well... the red scarf is redder and looks better."
"Alas, Ji Rongyu's Seventeen Three Good Students are still better looking." Lu Xinyang felt inferior.
He returned to the room with respect, and seeing that his respected model student was still asleep, he put away his pillow and quilt first.
The bed was left with a large empty space, and the sheets, which had been slightly warm, immediately cooled. Ji Rongyu turned over and rubbed against this side in a daze. Lu Xinyang subconsciously put his hands on the edge of the bed, but when he heard the mattress creak, he quickly put his hands flat.
He half-knelt down, his arms pressed against the sheets like water, and slowly leaned his head on. Before his head was installed tightly, his eyes had already penetrated the gap between Ji Rongyu's eyelashes.
Lu Xinyang looked at his sleeping face, listening to the sound of his breathing quietly in his heart, then stretched out his other hand without thinking, and rubbed Ji Rongyu's cheek like a thief.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Xinyang felt as if his face was a little itchy, so he pulled the fragrant quilt in front of him closer, tilted his head and rolled on it guiltily.
"...What are you doing?" Ji Rongyu's slightly suspicious voice came from above his head.
"Hmm?" Lu Xinyang didn't know what he was doing. He yawned loudly as soon as he opened his mouth. Then he said, "Maybe I'm sleepy. Seeing the quilt makes me want to sleep again."
Ji Rongyu picked up his phone and squinted his eyes to check the time: "Don't sleep, I have to get up too. I'll have to leave after breakfast."
Lu Xinyang said "Oh", changed his pajamas, put on his own clothes and the down jacket that Ji Rongyu had just bought for him, then asked Ji Rongyu for a backpack, folded his pajamas and put them in, and also put the things he bought for him yesterday into the bag.
After they finished breakfast, Tang Lin called Lu Xinyang to tell him he was almost there, and they picked up their remaining belongings and prepared to leave. Ji Guanghui reluctantly walked them downstairs, saying, "Come back next time, Xiaolu. Anytime is fine. Just treat this place as your own home. Grandpa welcomes you every day."
"Okay, okay," Lu Xinyang said, "I'll definitely come again in the future!"
Ji Rongyu said nothing in front of her, but when Ji Guanghui turned around and went upstairs, he immediately turned hostile: "Why are you still here? Don't come. Don't make trouble for me."
Lu Xinyang argued: "First time is first time, second time is familiar. I am familiar with your family now, so I will definitely not cause more trouble. Besides, I can't bear to part with the black spots and the ones without spots. After all, I drew them with my own hands, and I will miss them very much."
"I'll take a picture for you," Ji Rongyu said, "Just take a look at the picture."
"I also need to show the chickens me." Lu Xinyang added.
"They don't need to see you."
"Of course they do!" Lu Xinyang said righteously, "What if they miss me too much and start barking in the middle of the night?"
Ji Rongyu, who has very high requirements for sleeping environment, asked: "Who are you threatening?"
"No, I'm just giving an example," Lu Xinyang said, patting his chest. "They can't be more arrogant than me. I don't even make noises when I sleep with you at night!"
"Keep your voice down!" Ji Rongyu was almost fainted from anger.
The familiar nanny car arrived at this time. Ji Rongyu looked at Lu Xinyang threateningly. Lu Xinyang quickly shut up. The two of them got into the car with their things. Tang Lin first drove to the business hall to apply for a new phone card for Lu Xinyang.
After his cell phone was working, Ji Rongyu kept an eye on Lu Xinyang and asked him to pay back the money. Lu Xinyang logged into WeChat to transfer the money, and after making sure that not a single cent was missing, Ji Rongyu took out the IOU and tore it up.
In order to avoid exposing the fact that Lu Xinyang was living at Ji Rongyu's house, the two of them were doing some petty theft in the back. Tang Lin glanced at them in the rearview mirror and said casually, "Why do you still have little secrets to tell me? Isn't sleeping together for two days enough for you to talk about?"
"I haven't slept in two days!"
"How do you know we slept for two days?"
“………………”
Ji Rongyu fell silent, and Lu Xinyang also covered his mouth belatedly.
"Why are your statements contradictory..." The driver didn't look back for safety reasons, but he was worried. "Did you really do something shameful behind my back?"
Ji Rongyu had already covered his face with his hands and was silent. Lu Xinyang quickly explained: "No, really not. I was kicked out by my mother and had no choice but to stay at his house for a while. And he didn't let me tell anyone."
"Oh," Tang Lin asked cautiously, "Then why... can't you tell me..."
"I'm afraid of being misunderstood. After all, he's the screenwriter," Lu Xinyang sighed under pressure. "What if people think I'm having an affair with him, that I'm deliberately seducing him into giving me more scenes? It would be so bad for Mr. Ji's reputation if that got out."
"Hmm..." Tang Lin quickly glanced at Ji Rongyu again, thinking that if you say this to others, his reputation will be really ruined.
He knew Lu Xinyang's character too well, and the look he gave Ji Rongyu was filled with sympathy.
And throughout the rest of the journey, Ji Rongyu remained silent. He was so quiet that it was as if he had fainted.
