When Lu Yang came out after taking a shower, the lights in the hallway were still on, but the living room was mostly dark.

He glanced into the living room, but the person was gone.

Okay, I'm off.

Lu Yang yawned and walked towards the bedroom.

Passing by Li Xixue's master bedroom, a thin ray of light shone through the crack in the door, but it quickly went out.

Lu Yang pushed open the door and went in.

Li Xixue was already lying on the bed, her back to him, her hair slightly disheveled, and she remained motionless.

"Hmm? Asleep?"

Lu Yang walked to the bedside.

Li Xixue was wrapped tightly in the quilt, with only half of her face and a section of her shoulder showing. The neckline of her pajamas was slightly crooked, and the skin on her shoulder and back was so white that it was almost dazzling.

Her eyes were closed at this moment, but in an unnatural way.

But it's clear that she has indeed gone to sleep.

Lu Yang checked the time; it was only nine o'clock at night.

Given this woman's schedule, how could she possibly sleep if she didn't work until the early hours of the morning?

It's rather strange that things are going so unusually.

Lu Yang reached out and poked her exposed back: "Am I sleeping here tonight?"

The other party did not answer or move.

Well, not saying anything means you agree.

Without saying a word, Lu Yang quickly crawled into bed.

Mmm, it feels warm.

Having someone warm your bed makes all the difference.

Lu Yang subconsciously pulled the blanket closer to himself.

Li Xixue's body visibly tensed slightly.

It happened in a flash, and I recovered very quickly.

Lu Yang looked at her 'sound asleep' appearance.

The breathing rhythm wasn't that of someone asleep; it was too steady, almost deliberately so.

He smiled.

"His technique of pretending to be asleep needs improvement."

Li Xixue kept her eyes closed and remained motionless. Her breathing and eyelids did not move, but the fingers resting on the blanket tightened slightly.

Seeing this, Lu Yang reached out and lifted her wrist, which was hanging outside the blanket, into the air, and then let go.

The next second, a miracle happened.

Her hand didn't fall down, but instead remained suspended in the air.

As we all know, when a person is truly asleep, their hands are raised and will not be lowered.

Lu Yang smiled and did it again, this time raising his other hand even higher before letting go.

Both hands were suspended in the air.

At the same time, she tucked her chin further into the blanket, but didn't make a sound.

Lu Yang's voice was flat: "So good at pretending?"

And so.

He changed direction, reached out and lifted the corner of the blanket, pulled her legs out, supported them with one hand, and placed them on his knee.

Li Xixue's leg tensed slightly.

Just for a moment.

She used all her willpower to suppress the remaining reaction and continued to lie there, pretending to be dead.

Lu Yang supported her legs, swayed them, and then lifted her up.

Li Xixue closed her mouth and eyes, but in her heart she cursed him thoroughly.

Although that's what I thought, I didn't dare to do it.

Because if she made a move, she would lose.

Seeing that she still didn't move, Lu Yang continued to play with her like a toy, then put her legs back under the blanket horizontally, stretched them out, glanced at them, felt they were asymmetrical, and then moved her other leg as well.

Li Xixue's face was so flushed that she sank into the pillow.

What is this bastard doing?

Do you want to play with yourself like a toy?

Lu Yang changed direction again, this time targeting her hand.

He pried her fingers apart one by one, then grasped them, squeezing them as if checking something, then squeezed them from a different angle, finally turning her wrist over and pressing two fingers against her pulse.

"Hmm, the pulse is normal. Could he really be asleep?"

"..."

"Patients are advised to face the problem directly and not avoid it."

Li Xixue remained silent.

She wasn't running away.

She was just thinking that if she got up now and beat him up, she should buy some liniment for her injuries tomorrow.

But in the end she did nothing.

Lu Yang took a deep breath, realizing he was at his wit's end with her. After trying to figure it out, he found that this woman was more stoic than he had imagined. So he could only put her legs and hands down, change his position, lie down with his hands behind his head, and stare at the ceiling.

"Go to sleep."

Lu Yang closed his eyes naturally.

Li Xixue still didn't move.

Until Lu Yang's breathing gradually became longer and slower, as if he was really about to fall asleep.

She then peeked half her face out from under the covers, turned her head, and glanced at Lu Yang.

Eyes closed.

Are they really asleep?

She leaned closer, making sure he hadn't opened his eyes, before quietly pulling the blanket up.

it is good.

Now it's quiet.

She closed her eyes, her mind still a bit muddled.

A sliver of moonlight shone through the gap in the curtains, casting a narrow strip of light on the floor.

She's been out of her mind all day; this man has been messing with her the whole time.

Listening to the even breathing beside her, Li Xixue's heartbeat gradually calmed down, and then she opened her eyes.

She lay on her side, facing Lu Yang.

The two were very close, close enough that she could see every detail on Lu Yang's face.

Her nose was very straight, her lips were slightly parted, and her breath hit her forehead hair, carrying a little warmth.

Li Xixue stared at his face.

Suddenly, another image popped into my head.

A little girl who looked remarkably like her and Lu Yang, with pigtails, swayed back and forth, stretching out her hands, calling out "Mama" in a childish voice.

Li Xixue's heart skipped a beat. Overwhelmed by maternal love, she felt a surge of desire despite being a woman.

Create a crystallization of your own.

wrong.

She quickly banished the image from her mind.

But after they were driven out, another one popped up.

Lu Yang squatted on the ground, holding a small shoe in his hand, and was putting shoes on his little girl.

puff.

Then, the scene changed again.

To have a child, the man and woman must first...

Li Xixue's mind went blank.

My entire face instantly felt hot, even the base of my neck was hot.

She suddenly rolled over, turning her back to Lu Yang and burying her face in the pillow.

forget about it.

If she keeps thinking about it, she won't get any sleep tonight.

But ironically, the more I try not to think about it, the more uncontrollable my mind becomes.

She pulled the blanket up to cover her head, her breathing rapid and her heart pounding.

After a while, she spoke, her voice so soft that only she could hear it.

"It's annoying."

……

Early in the morning.

Li Xixue's biological clock promptly pulled her out of a chaotic dream.

She opened her eyes, stared at the ceiling, and her mind slowly began to function again.

left.

There are breathing sounds.

She tilted her head.

Lu Yang lay on his side, facing her, with one hand resting on the blanket between them. He was breathing steadily and sleeping soundly.

Li Xixue quickly turned her head back.

Those messy images from last night have resurfaced.

Little girl, call me Mommy...

stop.

forget about it.

Li Xixue lifted the covers and sat up, moving very gently.

She put on her slippers and slipped into the bathroom with almost no sound.

The moment the door closed.

She glanced at herself in the mirror.

Her hair was messy, her eyes were dark, and there was still some lingering redness on her face.

I didn't sleep well last night.

It's all that person's fault.
