Chapter 45 He had to admit, he was jealous.
Jiang Keyan, who had only heard half of the story, expressed her agreement.
Jiang Wanrou glanced at Lu Mingxu and said, "Little Lu, if you're sleepy, go inside and sleep. I'll keep an eye on them. Once they're done playing, they'll go back to sleep."
Lu Mingxu paused, thought for a moment, then slowly walked to Wen Yanyu's side and coaxed softly, "Little Yu, I suddenly remembered some things from my childhood. I'd like to talk about them, is that alright?"
Upon hearing "when I was little," Wen Yanyu looked up blankly, meeting the man's somewhat apprehensive eyes.
Thinking back to that day, I realized I hadn't had a proper conversation with the other person since.
"good."
Lu Mingxu smiled at Jiang Wanrou, "I've taken Yan Yu inside to rest. Aunt Jiang, you should also get some rest early."
Jiang Wanrou frowned and nodded.
"Huh?" Duan Mufeng's forehead twitched violently, and he uttered a questioning syllable, "Why can't you talk to us now? Why do you have to interrupt us?"
Lu Mingxu gave him a cold look, bent down and pulled the person who was half-lying on the chair and could no longer stand up, and pulled him towards his arms.
Feeling dizzy and lightheaded, and then being forcibly pulled, Wen Yanyu stumbled and bumped directly into someone's arms.
Lu Mingxu's eyes were gentle, yet held a darkness he couldn't fathom.
Wen Yanyu was taken aback, then pushed the person away, saying, "No need to help me."
Lu Mingxu's eyes darkened slightly, and he smiled, "Let's go, I'll tell you what happened next."
"good."
Jiang Keyan frowned, scratched her head, glanced at the two people's backs, and then turned to look at Sang Yu, who was still in a daze.
What's going on?
Jiang Keyan scratched her head, puzzled.
…………(′ω)？
Wait a minute!!
No, that's not right!!!
Her bunny!!!
Aaaaaah!! That damned Lu Mingxu!!!
【Dude, you just left Xiaoyu like that?】
[Hiss... Lu Mingxu is acting strangely.]
My bunny got hurt from being pulled!
[The way Lu Ge looked just now, haha, it was like he was saying, "Little kid, how about I take you to get some candy?"]
[Lu Mingxu! You're so mean! Why are you dragging the bunny away like that! You have to consider the situation before you snatch it! My little bunny is having so much fun! You're so mean!]
The bedroom camera was turned off after the disturbance.
Wen Yanyu nestled in the blankets, her light gray eyes gradually narrowing with drowsiness.
Lu Mingxu lay on the left, and Wen Yanyu lay on the right, with a soft pillow between them for Wen Yanyu to hug.
Having shaken off his previous state, Lu Mingxu regained his usual gentle demeanor and began to ramble on about the interesting things that had happened to him over the years.
A faint peach scent and a hint of alcohol wafted through the blankets, alluring and ambiguous.
Lu Mingxu smiled and rubbed the little rabbit's fluffy head. "Don't give away half-eaten food to others next time."
"Hmm, I'm sleepy." Wen Yanyu nodded drowsily and tilted her head to the side.
"Go to sleep if you're sleepy." The man's voice was low and clear. Looking at the little rabbit nestled not far from him, his voice unconsciously carried a faint hint of pleasure. "Why do you smell so good? I can't smell it unless I get close."
"I don't know." Wen Yanyu's eyelids were drooping with sleep, and she slowly curled herself into a ball. "Everyone says it smells delicious."
Lu Mingxu paused in his movements, his lips pressed into a thin line, and his eyes darkened considerably.
Who are you all?
"Hmm..." Her consciousness was hazy with the effects of the alcohol. Feeling the distance between them getting closer, Wen Yanyu pulled the blanket up and moved to the side, murmuring as she counted: "...m... my friends from before, Bad Dog, Brother Duan, Keyan, and..."
He seemed to be tired, and before he could finish speaking, his voice gradually faded away.
Lu Mingxu lowered his eyes, his fingers gradually tightening, and continued to press, "Who else?"
Wen Yanyu groaned and poked half her head out from under the covers to keep breathing. "And Fu Hanchuan too."
The smile faded from Lu Mingxu's eyes, and his heartbeat grew louder in the silence.
Does he like you?
Confusion.
"Hmm?" Wen Yanyu mumbled a confused "hmm" in response.
Lu Mingxu laughed again: "Is Fu Hanchuan your lover?"
Wen Yanyu slowed her breathing and shook her head in denial, "He especially hates me."
"I hate him." Lu Mingxu lingered those two words on his tongue, then smiled, his eyes narrowing. "So, do you still like him?"
“I remember you used to like him a lot.”
With half her head covered by the blanket, her voice was muffled. Wen Yanyu denied it, "I don't like it anymore..."
"He hates me, he despises me, I can't like him..."
"I see." Lu Mingxu's eyes were deep, and he gently drew out his words, asking in a suggestive tone, like a lingering whisper, sticky and heavy.
Do you have someone you like right now?
There was no response for a long time.
Wen Yanyu's breathing was even, her eyes were closed, and she looked asleep. Her gray-black hair was scattered on her face, and she looked quiet and well-behaved.
Lu Mingxu got up and straightened the blanket for the person beside him. His palm accidentally brushed against the boy's rosy cheek, and the soft and delicate touch made his heart pound wildly.
Amidst the sound of rain at night, Lu Mingxu turned around and his gaze met that of Duan Mufeng, who had been watching for an unknown amount of time. The moment their eyes met...
He saw countless emotions in those eyes: sneer, hostility, mockery, and even a strange pity.
Neither of them spoke, nor did they discuss the division of beds. They simply tacitly reserved the middle seat for the sleeping boy.
The lights were off, and only the moonlight from outside the window streamed into the room.
In the dim light, the three breaths mingled.
Lu Mingxu closed his eyes; he had to admit he was jealous.
