Wu Ma stiffly turned around, “Young… Young Madam, good evening.”
Butler Liu cleared his throat, “Young Madam, it’s time to brew tea for the old master. I’ll take my leave first. You two can chat slowly.”
Rule number six of being a butler: Let your fellow comrade die, but not yourself. Sell out your teammates when necessary.
Butler Liu slipped away, leaving Wu Ma alone.
Wu Ma chuckled, “Young Madam, I have to go prepare dinner.”
“Don’t rush. Let’s have a good chat.”
Lin Xi held her shoulder, “Wu Ma, I know a little about traditional Chinese medicine bone-setting techniques. Shall I take a look at your back?”
Wu Ma shook her head vigorously, “Young Madam, I’m not sick.”
“That’s good.” Lin Xi put her arm around her neck, “Tell me about what happened that night.”
“Uh… that…”
Wu Ma gave up and confessed honestly, “Young Madam, this old servant was also doing it for your own good. Couples should spend more time together.”
She winked, “What happened afterward? Did you two… you know?”
Lin Xi looked speechless, “Wu Ma, read less trashy novels.”
That night, it turned out that Fu Jingyao had helped her change her clothes.
Oh my god! She couldn’t believe that her forced-wakefulness mode had actually failed.
Lin Xi took several deep breaths, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Zhang Wenxiu peeked out, “Lin Xi, don’t stand at the door. Come in quickly. Let Grandma have a good look at you.”
Wu Ma took the opportunity to escape. Lin Xi smiled, “Grandma.”
Zhang Wenxiu smiled broadly when she heard her call her Grandma, “You’ve gained a little weight. It’s good. You look better with some flesh on your face.”
Fu Jianhua got up and took out some snacks, “Lin Xi, sit.”
Lin Xi took a bag of snacks, “Thank you, Grandpa.”
“Good, good, good. You should come visit Grandpa and Grandma more often.” Fu Jianhua was overjoyed and kept feeding her snacks.
Fu Jingyao was left out again, silently peeling an orange for himself.
Hmm, it’s sour again.
Butler Liu is getting old and has poor eyesight.
After dinner, Zhang Wenxiu insisted that the two stay for the night.
Lin Xi and Fu Jingyao were locked in the same room again.
This time, Fu Jingyao didn’t resist.
Lin Xi didn’t bother resisting either.
Butler Liu was surely guarding downstairs, diligently watching them.
She patted the bed, “One on each side. Let’s sleep.”
Fu Jingyao was stunned, “Lin Xi, what did you say?”
“I said, let’s sleep together.”
Lin Xi kindly explained, “You stayed up all night with me last night, and you went to work all day. You can’t stay up late tonight.”
Fu Jingyao only heard the phrase, “Let’s sleep together.”
Sleep together, sleep with Lin Xi.
He hesitated for a long time, afraid to approach.
Lin Xi stared at him intently, “You’ve already seen it all. What are you afraid of?”
His head exploded. Fu Jingyao’s eyes flashed with surprise, “You know?”
“Yeah.”
Lin Xi shrugged, “I accidentally overheard Wu Ma and Butler Liu whispering. Thank you for helping me change my wet clothes that night.”
Fu Jingyao thought she would blame him.
After all, he had helped her change her clothes without her consent.
“I…”
Fu Jingyao tried to explain, “I turned off the lights.”
“Ah?!”
The topic suddenly shifted, and Lin Xi didn’t understand at first. It took her two seconds to get his meaning.
Turning off the lights was even scarier. Didn’t that mean he touched her all over?
No wonder she had so much purple energy on her.
Ah ah! To die, she couldn’t think too much about it.
Lin Xi burrowed into the covers, hiding her expression.
“Let’s sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow.”
The man stood there, still motionless.
Lin Xi revealed her eyes, “You’ve seen it all, and you’ve touched it all. Afraid I’ll eat you?”
Fu Jingyao’s ears turned bright red. The soft touch from that night flashed through his mind, and his Adam’s apple bobbed involuntarily.
“Lin Xi, do you know what you’re saying?”
Lin Xi yawned, her mouth faster than her brain, “Could it be that you’ll eat me?”
Fu Jingyao remained silent, his gaze deepening.
This conversation was getting dangerous. If they continued…
He took a deep breath, his voice low and husky.
“Let’s sleep.”
A two-meter-wide bed. One person on each side, with enough space for another person in the middle.
If Butler Liu found out, he would definitely scold himself for being careless and immediately change it to a single bed.
Lin Xi lay on her side, her nose filled with the faint scent of sandalwood.
This was her first time sleeping with someone else. How long would it take her to fall asleep tonight?
She closed her eyes and fell asleep instantly.
Fu Jingyao, for the first time, lay in the same bed with someone else, completely unable to sleep.
After waiting for a while, the breathing next to him became steady. He turned around.
The person on the bed was sleeping soundly, half their face buried in the blanket, inexplicably cute.
A smile flickered in Fu Jingyao’s eyes.
In the morning, Lin Xi turned over.
It felt like someone was on the bed. She sat up abruptly and quietly glanced over. The person next to her was already gone.
Lin Xi let out a breath, “I’m scared to death. I hope I didn’t kick them off the bed last night.”
After eating breakfast downstairs, the two of them took a carload of things back home.
Zhang Wenxiu and Fu Jianhua waved goodbye reluctantly.
“Lin Xi, come visit Grandpa and Grandma whenever you have time.”
“Definitely, definitely.”
Lin Xi replied with a smile.
The car stopped at Di Jing Garden. Fu Jingyao organized his things, “Lin Xi, I’m going to the company.”
“Mm, goodbye.”
Lin Xi lay on the sofa watching cartoons and eating snacks from Grandpa and Grandma’s house.
Ding! Her phone rang.
She picked it up and saw that it was a message from Ji Heng. He sent a bunch of “sos.”
This young man’s bad luck was on par with hers. After his soul left his body, he encountered a pen fairy.
Last time, Lin Xi eliminated the pen fairy and gained a lot of merit.
This time, what kind of surprise would Ji Heng bring her?
Lin Xi replied.
[You met a ghost again?]
[Not me, a friend. He said there’s a ghost in the film crew.]
[Is it scary?]
[Scary! Definitely scary! Several people in the film crew saw it. The female lead was badly frightened and even injured.]
[Scary is good. Send me the address.]
[Big shot, I’ll pick you up.]
Lin Xi sent him a location.
Ji Heng found the address vaguely familiar. Without thinking too much, he hurried to get his car.
The chubby guy was waiting for him to save him!
