Lu Luochen glanced at the dishes on the table. Not finding any spare ribs, he fixed his inquisitive gaze on Wen Sining.
"You don't need to look. We've already finished the soup," Grandpa Xiao said.
Lu Luochen's inquisitive look turned into a pouty one. "Sining, you should compensate me," he said, referring to the fact that he didn't get to drink the spare - rib soup she made with her own hands.
Hearing his somewhat pouty tone and seeing his expression, Wen Sining coughed lightly. "What kind of compensation do you want?" She didn't want Lu Luochen to keep acting coquettishly and lingering, so she asked.
"Sleep in the same room," he blurted out. Actually, he had wanted to say this for a long time but never got the chance.
After Lu Luochen said this, afraid that Wen Sining would disagree, he glanced at his own grandpa and signaled him with his eyes. The latter got the message.
"Sining, just agree. Consider it as compensation for this lad. Otherwise, he'll keep bothering you. He's really good at pestering people," said the old man. For other things, he might not help Lu Luochen, but this was different. Besides, he was eager to have a grandson.
Grandpa Xiao, however, said sourly, "Sining, do you want to consider my grandson? He has good character and won't make you angry." He took the opportunity to bring it up.
Under the table, Lu Luochen gently pinched Wen Sining and looked at her with pleading eyes, as if saying, "If you don't agree, I'll definitely pester you until you do."
Wen Sining let out a silent sigh. "Fine."
Hearing Wen Sining's agreement, Lu Luochen's face instantly lit up with a smile.
"Alright, let's start eating quickly."
Lu Luochen nodded.
Maybe because the dishes were made by Wen Sining, Lu Luochen ate one more bowl of rice than usual.
"The dishes you made are really delicious," he said during the meal.
Wen Sining glanced at him but didn't say anything.
After the meal, Lu Luochen directly ran upstairs and moved his things out of the guest bedroom.
He didn't have much, just some toiletries. As for the clothes in the closet, he left them there.
Wen Sining was still downstairs chatting with the two grandpas. When she went upstairs, she found that Lu Luochen had already moved his things over.
When she entered the room, Lu Luochen just came out of the bathroom. "You've moved everything here?"
Lu Luochen shook his head. "My clothes are still there. I'm not in a hurry to move them." Just thinking that he was going to sleep in the same bed as Wen Sining that night made him extremely happy.
"What are you smiling about?" Wen Sining noticed the smile on his face.
"I'm happy," he said simply.
Lu Luochen lay down on the other side of the bed and patted the space beside him. "Hurry up and go to sleep. It's getting late."
"You're going to sleep at this time?" Wen Sining looked surprised. It was still early.
Lu Luochen didn't feel embarrassed at all. "I'll just lie in bed and rest for a while. I've been tired all day."
Wen Sining just responded with an "oh" and took her pajamas to the bathroom.
As soon as she entered, the phone on the bedside table vibrated twice. Lu Luochen picked up the phone and took a look. It showed that someone had sent her a message. It probably wasn't an urgent matter, so he turned off the phone and put it aside.
After a while, Wen Sining came out of the bathroom. She was drying her hair with a towel. Lu Luochen was quick - witted and got out of bed. He took out a hair dryer from the closet.
Seeing that Lu Luochen didn't seem to hand the hair dryer to her, Wen Sining said, "I'll do it myself."
"Sit down. I'll dry your hair for you," he said in a non - negotiable tone.
Wen Sining had no choice but to agree and sat in front of the dressing table. After Lu Luochen plugged in the hair dryer, he started to dry her hair.
He was very careful, afraid of hurting Wen Sining.
After about five minutes, her hair was dry. Lu Luochen turned off the hair dryer. "Miss, how was my service?"
"Five - star rating."
Lu Luochen smiled. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the phone and then remembered. "Just now, there was a message on your phone."
Wen Sining nodded to show that she knew. She picked up the phone, lay down on one side of the bed, and opened it. She found that the message was from Lu Xuan.
[Miss Wen, do you have time tomorrow? I noticed that you're very interested in my script. I wonder if we have a chance to cooperate.]
Wen Sining didn't reply immediately. Instead, she opened the mobile browser and typed in "Lu Xuan". Soon, the search results appeared in front of her.
She moved her finger and clicked on the personal profile. It was very clear. His works over the years were excellent. A movie that won the Hundred Flowers Award last year was from his hand. The casting angles of his works were very remarkable.
Only then did Wen Sining reply to his message.
[Sure. When shall we meet?]
[I'm available anytime. You can decide the time.]
The other side quickly replied. Wen Sining thought for a while and typed a few words.
[I still have some work to deal with these days. How about meeting in three days?]
Lu Xuan readily agreed.
Wen Sining threw the phone aside. A wave of drowsiness came over her.
"Go to sleep! Good night," she said to Lu Luochen beside her.
Lu Luochen also said good night to her. After turning off the light, he pulled Wen Sining into his arms. "Go to sleep."
The two fell into a deep sleep.
The next day.
Lu Xuan had already checked out of the hospital. Because of his previous break - in at the sanitarium, the requirements for external visitors there had been strengthened. If he wanted to get in again, it wouldn't be so easy. Moreover, he had met a nurse in the hospital before, and the nurse would surely recognize him.
But keeping Yun Chutong there was a potential threat to him. If she regained her memory one day, she would surely expose his identity. By then, it would be too late for him to do anything.
Thinking this way, Lu Xuan made a phone call. The call was to Xu Yan, a killer who was very efficient. However, this time, he didn't ask her to sneak into the hospital and kill Yun Chutong directly, because that would be too obvious.
After the call was connected, Lu Xuan directly gave instructions. "I'll send you a resume in your email later. Take this resume and apply for a job at the sanitarium. I'll tell you what to do next."
"I understand, Mr. Lu Xuan. How about the reward?" She was more concerned about this issue than anything else.
"Don't worry. I won't short you a single cent," Lu Xuan said with a sneer.
The other side signaled that she understood.
After they hung up the phone, Xu Yan soon received the resume sent by Lu Xuan. Admittedly, it was a very excellent resume. She didn't waste any time and directly went to the sanitarium that Lu Xuan mentioned for an interview. She got the job smoothly.
