Chapter 063 …

“Lili, you said during the day that I can touch the little bun tonight. Can it only be tonight? Can it be postponed until next week?”

Jing Li looked up to meet his pleading eyes, suddenly suspecting that he had been thinking about this all day.

Jing Li blinked at him, playfully sticking out her tongue and said, “Just for today, no delays.” After that, Jing Li ran to the guest room to help Jing Ran’s mother.

Jing Ran’s mother took out the quilt and pillow from the wardrobe and put them on the bed. Jing Li flipped the quilt and started to make the bed.

While making the bed, Jing Ran’s mother suddenly thanked Jing Li, “Lili, thank you.”

Jing Li didn’t understand and asked, “Auntie, what are you thanking me for?”

“Thank you for making Ranran better,” Jing Ran’s mother thanked her sincerely.

When Jing Ran was young, he was taken care of by his parents, and sometimes his grandparents would take care of him when his parents were busy. The family sent Jing Ran to a prestigious school, but he would come home with some minor injuries every day. At that time, the campus didn’t have widespread monitoring, so they couldn’t see how Jing Ran got injured. Jing Ran kept quiet, and the school also claimed not to know, which angered the Jing family, leading them to withdraw their sponsorship of the school.

At that time, Jing Ran’s parents started to get busy, so they left Jing Ran in the care of his grandparents, and he attended a public school nearby. Later, Jing Ran adapted to the new school and made some friends, but he didn’t like to play with girls. At that time, the family thought it was normal for a little boy not to play with girls, so they didn’t think much of it. As Jing Ran grew up, the family noticed that apart from getting along well with the women he knew and his little cousin, he didn’t interact with other girls his age.

The family started to worry whether Jing Ran had some kind of fear of women, and they kept introducing girls to him, but he was indifferent to them.

Jing Ran is a smart child. When the hotel business was declining before, it was Jing Ran who found a way to turn things around. The family is not worried that he won’t manage the hotel well in the future, but they are worried that he won’t be able to find a wife.

Recently, Jing Ran’s mother heard from her grandmother and her mother that Jing Ran had found a kind-hearted girlfriend, which put her at ease.

“Lili, sometimes Ranran can be emotionally slow, so please bear with him,” Jing Ran’s mother said as they finished making the bed together. Jing Ran said he wanted to meet the girl’s parents, and Jing Ran’s mother prepared many gifts for the visit.

Jing Li earnestly assured Jing Ran’s mother, “Auntie, rest assured, I will take good care of Ranran.”

After taking a shower, Jing Li put on the pajamas she brought and sat in the living room with Jing Ran’s parents, Jing Ran sitting next to her very politely. However, she couldn’t stand his pitiful face, and even his glasses couldn’t hide the dissatisfaction in his eyes.

The Jing family has a relatively healthy daily routine, and they go to bed before 11 o’clock at night. Jing Ran’s mother urged the two children to wash up and go to their rooms to rest, and Jing Li obediently did as she was told. After returning to the guest room, she tidied up and then turned off the lights to rest.

“Knock, knock…”

Jing Li heard a gentle knock on the door. She poked her head out and, with the light from the streetlamp outside, looked at the wooden door. No movement. Maybe she misheard.

“Creak…” the door opened.

Jing Li was somewhat afraid and called out softly, “Ranran?”

“Here,” a familiar voice rang out, nearly scaring her to death.

Jing Li watched as a dark figure entered, closed the door, tiptoed, and climbed into bed, making rustling sounds.

Jing Ran softly called her name, “Lili…”

“What’s up?”

“I’ve come to accompany you to sleep.”

Jing Li reminded him, “Your mom said we should sleep in separate rooms.”

Jing Li couldn’t see his expression, but she felt his entire weight pressing down on her. His head rubbed against her ear, his breath warm. He sounded a bit aggrieved as he said, “Can’t you sleep even when I’m not by your side?”

Jing Li’s whole body went numb, right down to her toes. What was he doing with these embarrassing actions?

Jing Li coquettishly said, “You’re squashing me flat.”

Jing Ran lay beside Jing Li, holding her.

Jing Li asked with some worry, “Ranran, what if your mom finds out if you come over like this?”

Jing Ran assured her, “She won’t find out.”

“Hmm?”

“I’ll get up early tomorrow and go back to my own room.”

Jing Li: “…”

This coward…

Jing Ran stealthily reached into Jing Li’s clothes, intimately touching her skin. Jing Li knew what Jing Ran was up to as soon as he entered the room. Because she had said “no delays,” Jing Ran had sneaked in.

Perhaps Jing Ran was also a bit nervous. Jing Li occasionally felt some pain from his unsteady touch, but she didn’t make a sound.

“Lili, does it feel good?” Jing Ran softly asked by her ear.

Jing Li felt so embarrassed that she wanted to kick him off the bed. He’s touching and still saying such lewd things?

Can’t he just be quiet and finish touching?

“I think…”

Jing Li didn’t want to hear him speak again, so she interrupted him, saying, “Either sleep or go back to your room.”

Jing Ran stopped his hand, kissing two small buns through the fabric, “Little buns, see you next time.”

Jing Li gasped. She would never use this lure again!

“Lili, my ear hurts.” In the darkness, Jing Ran hugged Jing Li and acted coquettishly.

Jing Li reached for the bedside table lamp switch. The soft yellow light illuminated the entire room. Jing Li half sat up, moved closer to Jing Ran, and observed his ear. There was no major issue, so she said, “No bleeding. Just lie down and sleep, don’t lie on your side, it will press on your ear.”

“Oh.” Under Jing Li’s breathing, Jing Ran no longer felt pain and quickly fell asleep.

Jing Li was particularly depressed. Why does Jing Ran sleep so well? As soon as it’s time, he automatically falls asleep and wakes up on his own. Even when he sleeps with a beautiful girl, he falls asleep peacefully and quickly.

Jing Li sighed with relief, kissed Jing Ran’s forehead, and said, “My little prince, goodnight.”

*
In the morning, when Jing Li woke up, Jing Ran was already gone from the bed. It’s estimated that he had actually run back to his own room pretending to be asleep.

“Ding!”

There was a WeChat message on Jing Li’s phone.

Jing Li opened her phone:

Mother : [Have you met Jing Ran’s parents just now? How are they treating you?]

Jasmine: [Mother, you won’t believe it when I tell you. It turns out that Jing Ran is the child of a wealthy family that has been passed down for nine generations. They have several duplex suites worth millions.]

Mother: [Still not awake yet?]

Jasmine: […]

Mother: [Alright, your parents have no prejudice against Ranran. There’s no need to make up these words. I allow you to marry him. From now on, the two of us will support you!]

Jasmine: […]

“Knock, knock.” The wooden door was knocked twice, and Jing Ran entered without seeking permission.

Jing Li pulled the blanket to cover herself and said, “Why did you suddenly come in? What if I was changing clothes?”

Jing Ran apologized, “I’m sorry, I forgot. I wanted to get an old book.”

“Well, then look for it.” Jing Li picked up her phone and continued chatting with her mother.

Jing Ran’s clothes at home were relatively plain. He wore a basketball tracksuit in a not-so-pleasing fluorescent purple color, along with a sports vest and shorts. Jing Ran only went for a run in the early morning, and the rest of the time, he stayed indoors studying, so his skin was even fairer than other boys.

Jing Li blindly typed a string of words on her phone and sent them to her mother, while staring at Jing Ran, who was wearing a vest that exposed his fair and tender arms. She inexplicably wanted to take a bite. However, Jing Ran was afraid of pain, so he would probably cry if she did.

Jing Ran found two copies of “Wesley” in the guest room, but she didn’t expect him to read detective novels.

After Jing Ran went out, Jing Li changed into a new set of clothes and walked out of the room, coincidentally when Jing Ran’s father finished preparing breakfast and placed it on the table.

During breakfast, Jing Li sat together with Jing Ran’s parents at the dining table.

Jing Li picked up a char siu bun, and tore off the wrapping paper

Jing Ran’s father took a sip of freshly squeezed fruit juice and asked, “Lili, I heard from Ranran that you haven’t found an internship yet. Do you want to work at Haiyue?”

Lili glanced at Jing Ran, surprised that he had mentioned the internship to his father so quickly. Haiyue is also a large hotel, but its recruitment requirements are more demanding, and the top students from the school couldn’t find work there. Lili considered herself a poor student and felt she might not be competent. However, if she couldn’t find an internship in City G, she would have to return to City D for the summer to work at her parents’ company.”

“Okay!” Jing Li nodded, determined to work at Haiyue over the summer to be with Jing Ran.

“Then I’ll go ask the HR department to arrange it for you,” Jing Ran’s father said, then continued eating breakfast.

Jing Ran’s mother, holding her phone and looking surprised, suddenly said, “Oh, next Saturday is Ranran’s birthday. Should we have a birthday party?”

In the past, for Jing Ran’s birthdays, his mother would organize a birthday party, inviting businesspeople who had daughters, and all the young girls would dress up beautifully, creating a scene similar to a beauty pageant.

Jing Ran refused without even thinking: “No!”

Jing Ran didn’t want Jing Li to know. His mother had introduced him to many girls, fearing that Jing Li would be jealous.

However, after hearing this, Jing Li would probably ask Jing Ran if he was stupid, and wouldn’t let other women throw themselves into his arms.

Jing Ran and Jing Li stayed at the Jing family all day, leaving only after dinner to return to school.

“Lili, what birthday gift do you want?” Jing Ran is half a month older than Jing Li, and their birthdays are close. Jing Ran has already started preparing a gift for Jing Li.

“And you, what do you want?” Jing Li asked, as his birthday was less than a week away.

Jing Ran’s beautiful eyes blinked at her, and he smiled slightly.

Jing Li vaguely felt that he…

Must be thinking of something improper.
