Lu Luochen still refused. The two of them were at their wits' end with him. As they reached an impasse, in the end, Wen Sining let out a sigh. "Let him stay here. Can you come pick him up early tomorrow morning?" She couldn't really haggle with an injured man.
Actually, Lu Luochen with a childlike disposition was much more pleasing to the eye than before.
Lu Luochen nodded obediently. Although he was eager to stay here, he knew he couldn't push Wen Sining too hard. Anyway, he had plenty of time to take things slow with her.
"Mr. Lu, I'll come pick you up tomorrow." Jin Yihao said to Lu Luochen, who nodded in response.
After seeing Jin Yihao off, only the two of them and a dog were left in the house.
"You stay here and watch TV obediently. I'll go make up the guest room for you." Wen Sining even put on a cartoon for Lu Luochen.
Hearing that he was going to sleep in the guest room, Lu Luochen immediately frowned. "Do I have to sleep alone tonight?"
Wen Sining nodded.
"But I'm scared. I'm afraid of the dark." Lu Luochen said pitifully.
This put Wen Sining in a bit of a bind. She couldn't very well accompany Lu Luochen to sleep, could she? Although his mental age was that of a three - year - old, he had the body of an adult man. It would be inappropriate for her to sleep with him.
"Well, what should we do then? I'll ask Jin Yihao to come pick you up."
Lu Luochen quickly shook his head. "But I'm really scared of the dark when I'm alone."
"How did you sleep last night then?" Could it be that Yun Chuchu had accompanied him? At this thought, Wen Sining felt an inexplicable twinge of discomfort in her heart.
Her thought was quickly dispelled by Lu Luochen. "No, I was in the hospital last night."
Only then did Wen Sining relax. "Are you really too scared to sleep alone?"
Lu Luochen nodded affirmatively.
Looking at him, Wen Sining had a feeling that he was doing it on purpose, but then she thought it was impossible. With the mental age of a three - year - old, he said whatever came to mind. Maybe he really was afraid of the dark.
In the end, Wen Sining had no choice but to make a makeshift bed for Lu Luochen on the floor of her own bedroom. This was the best solution for the time being.
After she finished tidying up, she went into the bathroom. After taking a shower and coming out, she found Lu Luochen still watching TV in the living room.
She walked over and called out to him. "It's getting late. It's time to go to bed."
Hearing this, Lu Luochen obediently got off the sofa. Looking at Wen Sining, he said something that took her by surprise. "But I haven't taken a shower yet. I take a shower every night. If I don't, I won't be able to fall asleep."
Hearing this, Wen Sining felt as if three black lines had appeared on her forehead. When she was with Lu Luochen before, he did have the habit of taking a shower every day.
He really knew how to make things difficult for her. If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have softened her heart and agreed to let him stay. Instead, she should have let Jin Yihao take him away.
"Sister." Seeing Wen Sining standing there motionless, Lu Luochen called out again.
"Come with me!" Wen Sining led him to the bathroom in the guest room.
Lu Luochen followed her. Wen Sining showed him how to use the water heater.
Lu Luochen turned it on, and the water splashed directly on Wen Sining.
Wen Sining was wearing a white silk pajamas. After being splashed by Lu Luochen, her clothes were completely soaked. Seeing her faintly visible body, Lu Luochen felt a sudden heat in his lower abdomen.
"What are you doing?" Wen Sining gave Lu Luochen a disgruntled look.
Lu Luochen immediately apologized. "Sister, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."
After hearing his apology, Wen Sining's anger subsided. However, she wasn't used to Lu Luochen's way of addressing her, but there was nothing she could do about it.
"All right, hurry up and take your shower. I'm going out." She said to Lu Luochen and then turned to leave.
She had only taken one step when she felt her arm being grabbed. She turned around and looked at him. "What's wrong?"
"Sister, aren't you going to help me take a shower?" Lu Luochen blurted out.
His words made Wen Sining blush. "Take your shower by yourself." After saying that, she left the bathroom as fast as she could.
After coming out of the bathroom, she didn't rush into the bedroom. Instead, she sat in the living room waiting for Lu Luochen to come out. She patted her face, trying to calm herself down.
"Juanjuan." Wen Sining called out.
Juanjuan immediately pounced into Wen Sining's arms. Wen Sining rubbed its head. Juanjuan had gained some weight under Wen Sining's care.
After playing with the dog for a while, Lu Luochen came out wrapped in a towel around his lower body. Wen Sining took a quick glance and then quickly turned her head away. She slapped her forehead, realizing that she had forgotten to get him pajamas.
She put Juanjuan on the ground, stood up, and said to him, "Stay here and don't move. I'll go get you some pajamas."
"Okay." Lu Luochen replied obediently.
Wen Sining rummaged through the wardrobe in the guest room and found Lu Luochen's pajamas. These were the ones he had left behind when he slept here before. She had intended to throw them away, but later forgot about it because she was busy with other things.
"Here, put this on." Wen Sining handed the clothes to Lu Luochen.
When Lu Luochen saw the pajamas, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. She hadn't thrown away his clothes. Did this mean that there was still a place for him in her heart?
Wen Sining's action cheered Lu Luochen up. He took the pajamas and went into the guest room. He came out after getting dressed.
"All right, it's time to go to sleep." Wen Sining said.
Lu Luochen followed Wen Sining into the master bedroom. "You'll sleep here tonight."
Wen Sining pointed to the floor.
"Okay." As long as he could stay with Wen Sining, Lu Luochen didn't mind where he slept.
He obediently lay down on the floor, while Wen Sining slept on the bed.
"Are you all settled? I'm going to turn off the light." Wen Sining asked.
Lu Luochen let out a soft "um", and only then did Wen Sining turn off the light. The bedroom was instantly plunged into darkness.
Perhaps it was because there was suddenly an extra person in the bedroom. Wen Sining tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, she heard Lu Luochen's even breathing. She couldn't help but let out a sigh. Sure enough, people without a care in the world could sleep soundly, while she just couldn't fall asleep.
Wen Sining closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep, for she had to get up early the next day. After a long while, she finally fell into a drowsy sleep.
In the middle of the night, Lu Luochen opened his eyes. He turned on his side and looked at Wen Sining lying on the bed. An indescribable feeling welled up in his heart. He wondered how long this situation between them would last.
