Ch. 177 - A Whole Lot of Pretty for Nothing
New Event: Global Dungeons Daily Releases
"Want to take a walk around the school?"
"Oh, this is my junior high school alma mater."
"Isn't that even better? Shall we go in and take a look?"
"Before I graduated, it said I was an alumnus. When I wanted to go in again after leaving this door, it said I was an idle person in society."
"..."
Chi Yueshan let out a light laugh, her features light and delicate.
She suggested.
"Then shall we go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities? I just noticed that there seems to be no laundry detergent at home."
"Let's go!"
"Yay!"
The two of them rushed to the supermarket. Lu Xing pushed a shopping cart, and Chi Yueshan was selecting items in the daily necessities section.
Lu Xing squinted his eyes and looked over.
Chi Yueshan's hair was tied up, and she was seriously selecting goods on the shelf.
She wore a pair of long, slender, emerald green jade earrings. As she moved slightly, they were like a flowing river.
Are you kidding me?
Has Chi Yueshan's years on stage been for nothing?
She had already reached a keen point in her awareness of others' gazes, especially Lu Xing's gaze!
Chi Yueshan didn't even have to turn her head to know that this little thing, Lu Xing, must be looking at her.
Could she let go of this great opportunity?
Without even thinking, Chi Yueshan immediately made a move.
She slightly adjusted her angle, trying her best to let Lu Xing see her fair skin to the greatest extent.
After silently counting to three in her heart, Chi Yueshan lifted the corners of her mouth, her eyes full of innocence, and turned her head to ask.
"Is this one okay?"
"Fine."
Sensing that Lu Xing's reply was a second slower than usual, the little person in Chi Yueshan's heart laughed wildly.
'Operation: Fish for Xing, a great success!'
Staring at Chi Yueshan's graceful back in front of him, Lu Xing propped his chin on his hand thoughtfully.
'This one, she hasn't given up, has she?'
...
This reunion dinner, Lu Xing ate very seriously.
The turning point came when the old man brought out a bucket of unlabeled rice wine.
Before opening it, the old man swore.
"Don't worry, this is all home-brewed wine. It has no alcohol content at all."
Lu Xing believed it.
Chi Shui also believed it.
Half an hour later.
The old lady silently helped the old man to bed.
Lu Xing silently helped Chi Shui to bed.
Chi Yueshan followed behind Lu Xing, looking at Chi Shui's unconscious state, and said with shock.
"Doesn't it have no alcohol content?"
"It really doesn't have any alcohol content. It's the wind in this courtyard that's 52 percent alcohol."
Lu Xing placed Chi Shui on the bed, put a trash can by the bed, and before leaving, he placed a bottle of water on the bedside table.
Chi Yueshan always felt that something was not right. She followed behind Lu Xing into another room and asked with confusion.
"Then how come you're fine?"
"I have a high tolerance for alcohol."
Lu Xing's answer was very natural. He took off his shoes, his coat, and his shirt as soon as he entered the room, and finally lay on the bed, shirtless.
The first second he took off his clothes, Chi Yueshan quickly covered her eyes.
Wait.
Why cover!
She had earned the right to see this with her own ability. She hadn't stolen or robbed. Just look, just look!
But...
Chi Yueshan looked at Lu Xing lying on the bed, his hands swiping in the air, and asked with confusion.
"What is this posture?"
Lu Xing continued to swipe at the air and said calmly.
"A posture that both men and women love."
"Playing with your phone in bed."
Huh?
Chi Yueshan rubbed her eyes, took two steps forward, thinking that Lu Xing had bought some kind of miniature phone.
She took a closer look.
He had nothing in his hand. He was purely swiping at the air!
A hint of understanding flashed in Chi Yueshan's eyes.
So this is what Lu Xing is like when he's drunk.
If she hadn't asked a few more questions, she really wouldn't have seen that this person was drunk.
Fine.
Good kid.
Even when you're drunk, you're still so good at acting, aren't you?
Clang.
Lu Xing fell onto the pillow, completely closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually grew deep and steady.
Chi Yueshan's gaze went from Lu Xing's face, bit by bit, all over him.
After she finished looking...
She walked around the bed twice, her heart instantly falling into a dilemma. Two little people were fighting in her mind.
[Little Devil]: He's already drunk now. Go for it!
[Little Angel]: What 'go for it'? Taking advantage of someone's situation. Are you even a person!
[Little Devil]: He won't know. If I were you, I'd just take a naked picture of him and threaten him to be with you.
[Little Angel]: Oh my god, you dead pervert. I'm calling the cops on you!
[Little Devil]: Chi Yueshan, I don't believe you're not moved.
[Little Angel]: Chi Yueshan, I don't believe you dare to move.
Ahhhhhh!
So annoying!
A look of conflict flashed in Chi Yueshan's eyes. This was the first time Lu Xing had appeared in front of her without any defenses.
Although it was because of physical factors...
But, but...
It's a rare opportunity!
The moonlight spilled in through the window. Chi Yueshan stared at Lu Xing's abs, her gaze gradually deepening.
After a fierce internal conflict, Chi Yueshan slowly walked to the bedside.
She forced herself not to look at Lu Xing's face, bent down, and pulled the quilt from the end of the bed, slowly covering him.
"I really didn't mean to. It's just that it's easy to touch your abs when covering you with a quilt. Actually, I didn't really want to touch them. It was all an accident, an accident."
After covering Lu Xing with the quilt, Chi Yueshan let out a long sigh of relief.
She learned from Lu Xing's previous action, placed a trash can by the bed, and a bottle of water on the bedside table.
After doing all this...
Chi Yueshan stood there for a moment, hesitating.
She quietly took out her phone. After checking that the flash was off, she returned to the bedside and took a photo of the two of them together.
Whether it was the photo at the hospital today or the photo in the courtyard...
Lu Xing had not invited her into the frame.
She suppressed the anticipation in her heart, waited and waited, but in the end, she did not wait for Lu Xing to invite her into the frame.
Chi Yueshan thought of how she had dressed up for a long time just for a photo, let out a light snort, her eyes stinging.
She was originally very unhappy.
But seeing the overflowing smile on Lu Xing's lips, she couldn't get angry anymore.
Chi Yueshan stared at the photo on her phone and finally curved her lips.
You despicable Lu Xing.
If you don't let me in the frame, I'll just take a picture myself.
Chi Yueshan walked to the door and looked back at Lu Xing deeply.
The sleeping Lu Xing's expression was one of unprecedented peace.
He didn't have to think about how to survive, how to live, how to please others.
At this moment.
Lu Xing only had one task: to have a good sleep.
Chi Yueshan let out a light sigh and said in a low voice.
"Lu Xing, I can see your happiness. That's also my happiness."
Creak.
Chi Yueshan gently pushed the door and went out. The moment she closed the door, she saw Zhao Zhenzhu standing in the courtyard.
Chi Yueshan was shocked.
She immediately looked back at the window in Lu Xing's room. It was open.
So.
How much did Zhao Zhenzhu see?
"Grandma..."
Chi Yueshan's heart sank, but she also felt a strange sense of relief and self-mockery.
If Grandma told Lu Xing about these things, and Lu Xing never wanted to see her again...
At least she still had a photo together, didn't she?
Looking at Chi Yueshan's nervous expression, Zhao Zhenzhu asked knowingly.
"Little Chi, do you like my good grandson?"
