“You… What do you want to do?”
Lu Lixing leaned forward and gazed at her.
Meeting Lu Lixing’s firm and profound eyes, Ji Qingqing swallowed her saliva and suddenly felt nervous. “Ummm… Actually, I think we can develop our feelings more and… then be like Grandpa and Grandma…”
Lu Lixing was puzzled by her ambiguous words, “What do you mean like Grandpa and Grandma?”
“Grandpa used to tell me the story between him and Grandma, about how they didn’t say a word to each other during their first three days of marriage, and after a month, they had…” Ji Qingqing’s cheeks turned as red as the color of blood.
Lu Lixing understood the underlying meaning of her scattered words.
“You think I want to have sex with you?”
“Is it not?” Ji Qingqing became bewildered.
Lu Lixing took a deep breath. “Ji Qingqing! What are you thinking all day long!”
Hearing his words, Ji Qingqing immediately realized that she misunderstood and had been fearful and hesitant for so many hours over nothing.
Lu Lixing pinched the tip of her thoroughly red ear and laughed helplessly. “Don’t you feel embarrassed?”
Ji Qingqing watched as a smile formed at the corners of his mouth. She was too embarrassed to show her face. Covering herself with the blanket, she buried herself in the sheets.
Lu Lixing stared at the mound under the bedsheet and sighed. “Come out.”
There was no movement.
“How about I take back my words and pretend that I didn’t ask anything?” Lu Lixing comforted her while patting the blanket.
How can one take back the words that were already said? Ji Qingqing continued to hide herself in the blanket, feeling determined not to go out no matter what.
It was so awkward. Just why did she discuss it with him in such a serious manner earlier. And making matters worse, she was even considering the possible ways on how to reject him indirectly too.
On the contrary, Lu Lixing wasn’t mad. Instead, he only found it amusing. Seeing Ji Qingqing hide herself even further towards the side of the bed, he lifted the blanket and went under as well.
A sweet fragrance wafted inside the blanket.
Ji Qingqing’s back was faced towards him. Just like a snail, her whole body was curled up into a ball.
“Turn around.” Lu Lixing patted her back.
Ji Qingqing shook her head.
Lu Lixing tried to hold back his laugh. Using both his hands, he gripped her arms and turned her around forcefully.
Under the blanket, the two of them faced each other.
“Alright, that’s enough. It’s not your first time being shameless anyway. I’m already used to it.”
Being exposed by him, Ji Qingqing couldn’t bear to face him anymore. Just as she attempted to turn back around and ignore him, Lu Lixing held down her shoulder.
“Didn’t you say I can do whatever I want tonight?”
“Then what do you want?”
“Call me hubby,“ Lu Lixing said with his eyebrows raised.
Ji Qingqing felt a mixture of indescribable emotions. “So that’s what you meant when you said you can do whatever you want? You want me to call you hubby?”
“What else?” Lu Lixing replied with a question.
Ji Qingqing was really convinced that she had worried too much for the past few hours. What else could Lu Lixing think of? She should’ve thought of that. He was a critically ill patient, who couldn’t be cured!
She cleared her throat, “Hubby.”
——“Life point +1. Current life points are worth 1.5 hours.”
“Continue.”
“Hubby…”
——“Life point +1. Current life points are worth 2.5 hours.”
Lu Lixing signaled her again using his eyes.
“…Hubby.”
——“Life point +1. Current life points are worth 3.5 hours.”
“Mhm?”
“…Hubby, hubby, hubby, hubby, hubby, hubby. Is that enough?”
——“Life point +6. Current life points are worth 9.5 hours.”
Lu Lixing smiled. Leaning close to Ji Qingqing’s ear, he said, “I can do whatever I want. Continue.”
“…” thought Ji Qingqing.
It was still early into the long night.
Two lamps by the bedside glowed brightly. Faint sounds drifted out from the fluffy mound of bedsheets with occasional soft grumbles and mutter. And from time to time, there were a few slight movements. Outside the window, the blushing crescent moon hung high as it buried itself in the dark clouds above.
