"I wonder where I'll be sleeping tonight?" Lu Chuanbai rubbed his mouth and asked boldly.
Xu Qingqing thought for a moment.
She couldn't let Lu Chuanbai sleep in her parents' room. Xu Yan didn't like others to enter his room without permission, let alone let Lu Chuanbai sleep there.
The two kids' room had a bunk bed. With Lu Chuanbai's long legs, half of them would hang off the bed if he slept there.
Apart from these bedrooms, there were no other rooms in the house, but she couldn't let Lu Chuanbai sleep on the sofa either.
What if he caught a cold and his condition got worse... That left only her room.
Seeing Xu Qingqing frowning more and more deeply, Lu Chuanbai could almost guess what was going on in her mind. She must be struggling but didn't want him to catch a cold outside.
Lu Chuanbai asked again mischievously. His sticky voice gave Xu Qingqing goosebumps all over. "Qingqing, where will I be sleeping tonight?"
"Stay in my room. I'll sleep on the floor," Xu Qingqing replied helplessly.
Hearing that Xu Qingqing planned to sleep on the floor herself, the smile on Lu Chuanbai's face faded a bit. "I'll sleep on the floor. You sleep on the bed."
"No way," Xu Qingqing refused flatly. She picked up some vegetables with her chopsticks and put them into her mouth. "What if your condition gets worse if you sleep on the floor?"
After dinner.
Xu Qingqing told the two kids to go to bed. Then she asked Lu Chuanbai to sit still and checked the wounds on his body.
She had only done a simple treatment with iodine. The yellow pus was stuck on the gauze.
They still had to go to the hospital as soon as possible.
Xu Qingqing changed the bandage on Lu Chuanbai again. When she looked up, she found that the distance between her and Lu Chuanbai was very close, close enough to see the fine hairs on each other's faces.
Xu Qingqing's heart skipped a beat. She bit her lip.
In Lu Chuanbai's eyes, Xu Qingqing's stunned look was very cute, with her watery eyes like cherry petals and her rosy lips...
Xu Qingqing turned her head away. She went back to the room, took out the bedding and spread it beside the bed. Then she curled up in the quilt, covering her pounding heart.
Strange! Why was her heart beating so fast!
Lu Chuanbai walked in and saw Xu Qingqing curled up like a silkworm chrysalis. He couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.
She was so cute!
"Hehe."
Hearing Lu Chuanbai's soft laugh, Xu Qingqing buried her head deeper.
Damn it!
She was being laughed at by Lu Chuanbai!
Turn off the lights and go to sleep!
Xu Qingqing had been running around all day. Soon sleepiness came over her and she fell into a deep sleep.
But Lu Chuanbai, who had slept during the day, had no sleepiness at all now. He lay on his side and looked at Xu Qingqing lying on the floor.
Although he couldn't see her face clearly, just feeling Xu Qingqing's breathing gave him a sense of peace.
As Xu Qingqing was sleeping... she felt colder and colder. Her hands and feet kept groping around. Slowly, she touched a warm heat source. She hugged it tightly and let out a comfortable sigh.
In her dream, Xu Qingqing dreamed that she was walking in a snow-covered world. She was shivering with cold. After walking for a while, she saw a blazing fireplace. Xu Qingqing ran to the fireplace to warm herself.
Lu Chuanbai slept lightly. He was awakened by Xu Qingqing who climbed onto the bed. He smiled contentedly at the fragrance of her hair.
He covered Xu Qingqing with the quilt and hugged her. Then he fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Xu Qingqing was awakened by the dazzling sunlight. She wanted to reach out her hand to cover her face, but found that her arm was numb from being pressed by something.
When she opened her eyes, she saw a magnified handsome face in front of her. She was so scared that she let out a scream.
"Who are you!"
"Lu Chuanbai, you pervert! You actually carried me onto the bed while I was sleeping!"
With that, Xu Qingqing hit Lu Chuanbai with a pillow. Lu Chuanbai opened his eyes and easily caught the pillow.
Seeing his timely movement, Xu Qingqing got even angrier. This guy was pretending to be asleep!
Lu Chuanbai looked innocent. "How can you blame me? It was you who climbed onto the bed and hugged me last night!"
"Impossible!" Xu Qingqing retorted instinctively.
But then she remembered the dream she had last night. Could it be that the fireplace she dreamed of last night was actually Lu Chuanbai?
"Then... you should have woken me up," Xu Qingqing's voice gradually became lower. She felt a bit embarrassed.
Xu's father and mother got up very early. They came specially to deliver breakfast to Xu Qingqing and their two grandsons. Worried about disturbing their sleep, they used their keys to open the door. They planned to put the breakfast down and then wake them up.
After a long silence, Xu Qingqing said to Lu Chuanbai, "You go out first. I need to change my clothes."
"Okay."
Lu Chuanbai got up and went out. Just then, Xu's mother, who came to wake Xu Qingqing up, happened to see Lu Chuanbai coming out of Xu Qingqing's room in his pajamas.
Xu's mother let out a scream. "Lu Chuanbai, why are you here?"
Her voice alerted Xu's father downstairs. He rushed upstairs and happened to see Lu Chuanbai in his pajamas.
This guy had spent the night in their house!
Damn it!
The anger in Xu's father's heart instantly flared up.
He recognized that the pajamas belonged to Xu Yan. Lu Chuanbai must have changed his clothes. As for why he changed his clothes, the reason was self-evident!
Xu's father looked at Lu Chuanbai coldly, just like looking at a wild boar that had eaten his family's cabbage.
"Lu Chuanbai, you're so unruly!"
The parents of both sides hadn't even met yet, and they hadn't even confirmed their relationship. But now they had progressed so fast!
Lu Chuanbai was stunned for a moment. He realized that Xu's father had misunderstood him. He quickly waved his hand and tried to explain clearly. "Uncle, I didn't..."
"Are you still trying to avoid responsibility?" Xu's father thought Lu Chuanbai was trying to shirk. "Since you've done it, you should take responsibility!"
After changing her clothes, Xu Qingqing heard the noise outside. She opened the door and saw her father's angry face.
"Dad, Mom, why are you back?"
"If we hadn't come back, we wouldn't have known that you actually... sigh!"
Xu's father couldn't bear to scold Xu Qingqing. He couldn't stay any longer. He turned around and entered the study.
Even the usually cheerful Xu's mother thought that their progress was too fast.
Yesterday Xu Qingqing still disliked Lu Chuanbai very much, but today the two of them had slept in the same room. This would make others think that their daughter was easy to pursue.
Xu Qingqing knew that her father had misunderstood. She quickly explained. "It's not what you think..."
But Xu's mother reached out her hand to stop Xu Qingqing. "We're just too old to keep up with the pace of society."
"But since you're together, live a good life."
After saying that, Xu's mother sighed and turned away.
Lu Chuanbai shouted at her back. "Auntie, Uncle, I'll take responsibility!"
Xu Qingqing kicked Lu Chuanbai on the leg.
At a time like this, he was still adding fuel to the fire!
Xu Yan also bought chicken soup and steamed buns that the kids liked to eat. He was carrying them home excitedly, planning to deliver food to his sister and nephews.
Xu Yan saw his mother looking very worried. He asked doubtfully. "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Your sister..." Xu's mother sighed and told Xu Yan what had happened this morning.
Hearing that his sister and Lu Chuanbai had slept in the same room, Xu Yan was so angry that he threw the breakfast on the table!
He knew that Lu Chuanbai was not a good person. He must have come to seduce his innocent sister!
"I'll go and teach that stinky boy a lesson right now!"
