Xie Ji couldn't understand it.
How can someone be so good-looking yet speak so vulgarly?
Xie Ji hugged the small pillow in his arms a little tighter and said, "Don't think about so much right now. Take a shower and get a good night's sleep. I'm going back now."
Lu Xunji lowered her eyes, clutching the hem of his shirt. "You also think I'm strange?"
This is incredibly weird, bro.
But Xie Ji didn't say anything; Xie Ji looked at him with a "you know what I'm going to say" kind of look.
Lu Xunji nodded. "I'm sorry."
After saying that, he released Xie Ji's grip, looked up at him, and said emotionlessly through his deep purple eyes, "Goodnight."
Xie Ji: "..."
Why does it look like it's about to shatter?
Lu Xunji is good-looking, but when his eyebrows and eyes are lowered, the sense of fragility is amplified.
Xie Ji felt a little soft-hearted, and awkwardly said, "You're not a child anymore. What's wrong? Can't you sleep without someone to keep you company?"
Lu Xunji walked back to the table and sat down, his slender fingers deftly turning a page. His profile, illuminated by the lamplight, was particularly endearing. "No."
Xie Ji scratched his butt, really not knowing what to say.
Well, what's done is done. I should just go to sleep.
He turned around, clutching his pillow, and opened the door.
"Actually, I've gotten used to being alone."
Lu Xunji's voice rang out behind him, tinged with melancholy.
"Good night."
Xie Ji: "..."
Brother, how am I supposed to leave like this!
Lu Xunji sat here and said a hundred seemingly plausible but irrelevant things, but in fact, every single word he said had only one meaning.
That is--
Don't go.
Xie Ji opened the door and went out.
Lu Xunji looked at the book in his hand, neither speaking nor moving, remaining silent as if Xie Ji's departure was the most normal thing in the world.
But in reality, he had indeed grown accustomed to this detachment.
He was good-looking, and back in his school days, many boys and girls had a crush on him. The love letters he received could fetch several hundred yuan if sold as scrap.
Without exception, they all left in his silent indifference, devoid of any empathy; some even turned around and insulted him.
He remembered that after being taken home by the teacher, people from his hometown rushed to the school and made a scene. During morning exercises, they pointed at his nose and cursed him in front of everyone, calling him shameless, a monster, and a rapist when he grew up.
For a long time, his classmates referred to him by those three words, either gossiping about him behind his back or teasing him in public.
Even his most trusted relatives despised him after learning of his mental instability.
He's abnormal; he's very strange.
Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. Everyone tells him that being abandoned, alienated, disliked, and insulted is normal and will be a part of his life.
He had long understood, and had completely disregarded, everyone's gaze and gossip; what he could achieve was something these people could never attain in half a lifetime.
They weren't even worthy of a glance from him.
Even if this person is Xie Ji.
As the page slowly turned, Lu Xunji's previously calm expression seemed to crack for a moment. He frowned slightly, pressed his thumb against the sharp page, and quickly made a cut.
The pristine white pages were stained with dirty blood. Lu Xunji stared at the bloodstain, then expressionlessly tore the page off and threw it into the trash can.
He lost interest in reading and got up to go to sleep.
Lu Xunji had gotten used to sleeping with Xie Ji, and his pillow still carried Xie Ji's scent. He buried his head in the pillow and took a deep breath.
The next morning, when Xie Ji opened the door, he saw that Lu Xunji had already gotten up and was exercising in the courtyard in front of the door.
The morning sunlight shone down, casting a golden glow on his upper body, which was covered in fine beads of sweat. His shoulders and neck were stretched, and beads of sweat rolled off the undulating muscles. His powerful waistline exuded extreme masculine hormones, making him sexy and beautiful.
Xie Ji stood by the window, took a breath of the fresh morning air, and secretly admired Lu Xunji's body before running back to his room to wash up before Lu Xunji noticed.
Ji Shi opened the bedroom door and walked into the courtyard, seeing Lu Xunji, he gritted his teeth and said, "You might as well pretend to be dead."
Lu Xunji didn't say anything. After finishing his workout, he stood by the pool, fed the fish, and then cleaned up the dog house, cleaning up all the poop from the two puppies.
It was only then that everyone gradually got up, and Lu Xunji began preparing breakfast for them.
Xie Ji sat in the living room, watching Lu Xunji standing in the kitchen, shirtless, wearing an apron, frying eggs with one hand while holding a frying pan.
Damn, she's so sexy!
How did you train?
Xie Ji recalled Lu Xunji's devilish self-discipline; even after working like an ox or a horse all day, he would still get up at five o'clock sharp the next morning to exercise.
Oh, that's alright then.
Suddenly, I felt that what Lu Xunji said might not be a lie. He might really have never kissed anyone other than himself, even though he had that illness.
But he has the perseverance to stick to fitness, so he will succeed at whatever he does.
Xie Ji clicked his tongue, his back teeth clenching in frustration.
I'm too lazy to criticize Xiong Jingnan.
Xie Ji sat in the living room for a while, then remembered that he still needed to help the two little ones clean the villa, so he got up, took his tools, and went out of the house.
When they got to the villa, they found that everything had been cleaned up. Even the tombstone that Xie Ji had built for Brother Bug had been carefully positioned, and three fresh green leaves had been placed in front of the grave.
Xie Ji: "..."
I don't know why, but I suddenly felt touched, like after arguing with my wife, she painstakingly cleaned the house, dressed the child and took him to school... and even left him breakfast when she came back.
With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!
Xie Ji put down his tools and walked back, beginning to think.
Could you call their Lu Xunji yesterday a fight?
It shouldn't count, right? Lu Xunji didn't seem very angry!
Besides, he's just not sleeping with Lu Xunji anymore... Shouldn't Lu Xunji be happy?
He had previously said that he was a bad sleeping posture, which affected his sleep.
... He didn't say anything hurtful yesterday, after all, he tried to swear but Lu Xunji blocked his way with his face.
After reflecting on it, Xie Ji still didn't know if Lu Xunji was angry, so he spent the whole morning observing him.
He seemed no different from any other day. After making breakfast and washing the dishes, he began to build the villa with his design drawings.
However, unlike before, Xie Ji wasn't given a glass of milk during this time.
Xie Ji wasn't such a sentimental person; even without milk, she was perfectly happy drinking instant soy milk.
Ji Shi still avoided him somewhat, but Zhou Heyu and Mu Yao were much more normal.
Zhou Heyu even came over and asked him what kind of formula the two puppies wanted.
Today was the day Zhou Heyu and Mu Yao went shopping, and the things Xie Ji brought back at great expense last time had already been almost all eaten up.
Xie Ji thought for a moment, then transferred several thousand yuan from his own account to Zhou Heyu: " A-Gang and A-Qiang need the best goat milk powder, and also some snacks... I saw other puppies have canned meat to eat."
"Buy some fresh shrimp—and also, buy some fresh fruit; Lu Xunji likes to eat them."
Zhou Heyu said with a heavy heart, "Fresh shrimp is easy to find, but fruit... this coastal town probably doesn't have much fresh fruit, and besides, it's not very cost-effective; most of it is quite expensive."
"Then I'll get you some more." Xie Ji pulled out his personal terminal again. " Lu Xunji likes cherries, buy a lot, pick fresh ones, the more expensive ones are fine, okay?"
Zhou Heyu, who had initially thought that Xie Ji, being so stingy and sensitive to cost-effectiveness, would give up on the project because of this, was speechless.
What a fine Noble Consort Lu! Truly, a rider gallops through the dust, bringing a smile to the imperial concubine's face, but no one knows it's cherries that have arrived.
