Cheng Ying felt tired when she got home, so she went back to her room to rest.
Su lanxu went back to her room with Xu Jialu.
Xu Jialu hung up the clothes that Cheng Ying had bought for him. &Quot; mom, did you buy them? ”
Su lanxu looked at him without saying anything.
Xu Jialu sensed that something was wrong and turned to look at her. &Quot; what’s wrong? ”
He didn’t doubt Cheng Ying’s kindness to su lanxu, but he couldn’t rule out the possibility that she might have said something to make her unhappy.
“Did my mother say something that made you uncomfortable?” Xu Jialu walked towards her and said, ” &Quot; my mother is a silly and sweet girl. She has been doted on by my grandmother and my father all her life. She may speak without thinking, but she definitely has no ill intentions. Don’t … &Quot;
Before he could finish, su lanxu suddenly wrapped her arms around his waist. Her low voice was apologetic. &Quot; I’m sorry. &Quot;
Xu Jialu was dumbfounded. &Quot; why are you apologizing for no reason? ”
His brain was spinning quickly. He didn’t do anything wrong, did he?
Su lanxu tightened her arms and pressed her face against his chest. She asked in a muffled voice, ” “I didn’t know that you wouldn’t be able to sleep with light around. Why didn’t you tell me?”
Hearing that, Xu Jialu let out a sigh of relief. As long as he didn’t know he did something wrong, it was fine. 1
“I thought something big had happened!” He finally dared to hug the person in his arms with his stiff arms. &Quot; if you’re used to sleeping with the lights on, then so be it. I’ve gotten used to it after a long time. It’s nothing. &Quot;
He said it so easily, but how could he change a habit that had been formed for so many years so easily?
“Xu Jialu, we …”
She was interrupted by Xu Jialu as soon as she opened her mouth.
“Stop.” Xu Jialu’s warm palm fell on the back of her head and caressed her gently. &Quot; don’t talk to me about whether it’s worth it or not! I’ve lived for so many years, and I can finally do something for the girl I like. I’m so happy, can you not pour cold water on me?”
Su lanxu raised her head and looked at him. &Quot; but your dark circles … &Quot;
If this continued, he would become a Panda.
“So what if you have dark circles under your eyes? maybe one day I’ll risk my life for you …”
Su lanxu quickly covered his mouth with her hand. &Quot; can’t you say something nice? who asked you to risk your life? ”
Xu Jialu lowered his eyes and looked at her. His Phoenix eyes were full of smiles and glistening.
There seemed to be something in the air, entwining between the two of them.
Su lanxu sensed something and quickly let go of his mouth. She wanted to step back and put some distance between them.
Xu Jialu suddenly reached out to hold her slender waist and pulled her into his arms again. When he lowered his head, his forehead touched hers, and his low and hoarse voice couldn’t hide the joy and expectation in it.
“Susu, are you … Not angry with me anymore?”
Su lanxu glanced over, confusion flashing in her clear eyes.
“I couldn’t control myself that night and kissed you.” Xu Jialu swallowed. &Quot; are you not angry anymore? ”
Su Lan Xu blinked her eyes and was even more confused.
Didn’t he mention this the last time he came back after drinking?
Or could it be that he had forgotten everything that happened that night?
&Quot; susu … &Quot; Xu Jialu was a little anxious.
Su lanxu came back to her senses. When she met his burning gaze, she quickly lowered her eyes. After a few seconds of silence, she still replied with a soft ” mm “.
The curve of Xu Jialu’s mouth became even more curved. &Quot; so … You don’t hate me anymore, do you? ”
She answered in a very low voice, which made Xu Jialu even happier. &Quot; can I take it as you don’t hate me, but you’re starting to like me a little? ”
Su lanxu’s brows twitched. She wanted to push him away, but he hugged her even tighter.
&Quot; susu … &Quot; Xu Jialu’s low and hoarse voice was a little coaxing. &Quot; for the sake of my mother, you can reveal a little bit to me. Otherwise, I really can’t guess what you’re thinking. &Quot;
Su lanxu glanced at him and recalled the words he said that night when he was drunk. He was begging her …
Even someone with a heart of stone would be slightly moved.
&Quot; too many things have happened recently. My parents passed away not long ago. I need more time to think about it. &Quot;
As soon as she said that, Xu Jialu was even happier than she was when she agreed to it.
&Quot; take your time to think about it. There’s no hurry. It’s fine even if you think about it for a lifetime. &Quot;
As long as she was by his side.
Su lanxu reminded him, ” let me go. &Quot;
“I’m not letting go, I’ll hug you for a while longer.” Not only did Xu Jialu not let her go, but he even put his chin on her shoulder.
“Xu Jialu …”
Su lanxu wanted to push him away, but he was like a huge mountain pressing down on her, and she couldn’t push him away no matter how hard she tried.
Xu Jialu closed his eyes, and the faint fragrance of her body lingered under his nose. &Quot; take it as compensation for not sleeping well last night, okay? ”
Su Lan Xu stopped in her tracks and let him hug her.
Su lanxu turned off the lights when she went to bed at night.
Xu Jialu got up and turned on the light again. &Quot; you don’t have to turn it off. I can sleep. &Quot;
Su lanxu raised her head and looked at his side profile. There was an indescribable feeling in her heart. The Xu Jialu now was really different from before.
He knew all the girlfriends he had, but he had never seen him so accommodating to someone else.
She did not insist on turning off the lights. Instead, she asked, ” do you know why I’m used to sleeping with the lights on? ”
&Quot; why? ” Xu Jialu asked, following her lead.
&Quot; when I was young, my parents were very busy with work and they didn’t accompany me. My grandmother said that she was old and had a bad smell on her body, so she couldn’t sleep with me. I slept alone when I was young, and I always felt that someone was staring at me in the dark. &Quot;
“That’s why you kept the lights on while you slept.”
Su lanxu nodded slightly. &Quot; but now that you’re by my side, I don’t seem to be so scared anymore. If only you could keep talking to me. &Quot;
“Isn’t this simple?” Xu Jialu lay back on the bed and patted his shoulder. &Quot; I can be your human pillow. Do you want to experience it? ”
Su lanxu hesitated for a few seconds before reaching out to turn off the light. She leaned on his shoulder.
Xu Jialu’s muscles stiffened for a second, but he quickly held her in his arms.
&Quot; she couldn’t sleep when she recovered from her awkwardness. I was always by her side. &Quot;
Xu Jialu was afraid that she wouldn’t be used to it, so he took the initiative to start a conversation.
Su lanxu leaned into his arms and smelled the fragrance of his shower gel. She wasn’t afraid. Instead, she felt more at ease than if the lights were on.
“I used to be really envious of her for having such a good brother like you. At that time, I wished I had a brother too.”
Xu Jialu touched her hair. &Quot; you don’t have to be envious. I treat my sister well, but I treat my wife even better. &Quot; 1
Su lanxu was speechless.
The atmosphere quieted down, and the faint chirping of insects could be heard outside the window.
Xu Jialu hesitated for a moment, but he still said shamelessly, ” susu, can you not despise me? ”
“What?” Su lanxu raised her head. Even though the room was dark, she could still feel that he was looking at her.
