    Chapter 119 Desk Lamp

    The big items for the new home had already been finalized by the design team, but Xu Wen still insisted on choosing the scattered small items himself. It was these small items that made him struggle for a long time.

    The two of them arrived at a home furnishing store with a full range of categories.

    Xu Wen turned his head left, right, and then looked at his phone. From time to time, he lowered his head to check the list on his phone, and finally his eyes fell back on Lu Qingrang beside him.

    Seeing him looking around, Lu Qingrang reached out his hand naturally and pinched the back of Xu Wen’s neck: “What are you looking at first?”

    It was Lu Qingrang’s actions that finally stopped Xu Wen’s jumping thoughts.

    He lowered his head and thought seriously for a moment, then returned to the question: What do you want to see?”

    Lu Qingrang looked at him with a smile, and his eyes had already told Xu Wen the answer, I will follow you.

    Xu Wen was not surprised at all by Lu Qingrang’s answer. He relaxed his shoulders, put an arm on Lu Qingrang’s shoulder, and raised his phone with the other hand: “Let me take a look.”

    As he said this, his eyes had already drifted away, attracted by the dazzling array of small commodities around him.

    His footsteps suddenly stopped in front of an exhibition area, and Lu Qingrang also stopped.

    Lu Qingrang’s eyes lit up when he saw Xu Wen, staring in a certain direction.

    He followed Xu Wen’s luminous gaze and looked over. It was a whole wall of display racks with table lamps of different shapes on them.

    Xu Wen finally came to his senses and pulled Lu Qingrang towards the display cabinet.

    Finally, he stopped in front of a lamp.

    The lampshade of the desk lamp was printed with a cartoon cat lying lazily, licking a paw leisurely.

    Xu Wen secretly glanced at Lu Qingrang beside him, and then looked at the lazy cat on the lampshade.

    Scenes of daily morning scenes reappeared in his mind. Lu Qingrang would sleep in his arms and rub his face against his chest and neck while Lu Qingrang didn’t wake up, mumbling that he wanted to sleep again…

    The more he looked at it, the more he looked like it. He couldn’t help but laugh, and reached out to press the switch on the display cabinet.

    The light was on, and the warm yellow light diffused through the lampshade with the cat printed on it. He adjusted the light with great interest, watching the cat change from warm yellow to warm white, completely unaware that Lu Qingrang’s eyes were slowly changing next to him.

    Lu Qingrang looked at Xu Wen quietly.He watched Xu Wen stare at the cartoon cat, with bright eyes and a smile on his lips. It was true love from the bottom of his heart.

    The hand hanging by his side was clenched slightly.

    All kinds of speculations in his heart began to come out at inappropriate times.

    Xu Wen seems to like cats very much.

    Does he want a cat?

    If he offered to raise her, she probably wouldn’t be able to refuse.

    If he had a cat, he would smile at it, pay attention to it, and do a lot for it.

    In this way, his attention was diverted again.

    Don’t want to raise it.

    But…Xu Wen seems to really like it.

    What to do.

    “Brother Lu, do you think this looks good?”Xu Wen pointed to the desk lamp with the cat on it, successfully interrupting Lu Qingrang’s increasingly nervous mind.

    Lu Qingrang’s face immediately showed the same gentle smile as usual: “It looks good, if you like it, buy it.”

    “hey-hey.”Xu Wen smiled with satisfaction, took down a brand new desk lamp of the same style from the shelf, and held it in his arms like a treasure.

    “I’ll get it.”Lu Qingrang took the box from him naturally.

    He tilted his head and saw Xu Wen looking at the other styles with an unfinished expression, his lips moving slightly, hesitating for a moment, but still didn’t ask.

    Xu Wen keenly caught his hesitation at that moment, and lightly touched him with his shoulder: “What’s wrong?”

    Lu Qingrang looked into his eyes and finally asked: “It’s nothing.I just wanted to ask if you want to raise a cat?”

    Xu Wen was stunned when asked.

    He looked at Lu Qingrang, then at the box he was holding in his arms.When Lu Qingrang asked this question, his hand holding the carton tightened slightly.

    “Why do you ask this suddenly?”Xu Wen did not answer directly, but instead asked a question first.

    Lu Qingrang frowned slightly in annoyance. His emotions were leaking out more and more easily, and Xu Wen discovered it again.

    He explained: “I just saw that you like the pattern of this desk lamp.”

    “I don’t want to.”Xu Wen’s answer was crisp and clear.

    This answer instantly disrupted the half-constructed words of tactful persuasion in Lu Qingrang’s mind.He blinked, somewhat unresponsive: “Don’t want to?”

    “Don’t you think,” Xu Wen suddenly smiled evilly, moved closer, reached out and pinched Lu Qingrang’s cheek, “does the cat on the lamp look particularly like you?

    “Like me?” Lu Qingrang opened his eyes slightly in surprise.

    “Super similar!” Xu Wen nodded, his tone decisive, “I already have a cat at home, why should I raise another one?”

    He raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Qingrang, with a bit of a sneer in his smile, and added: “Do you want to raise her?”

    Lu Qingrang shook his head quickly at first, and then his face quickly turned red due to Xu Wen’s straightforward words and the dark thoughts he had been secretly tangled in before.But the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but raise upwards.

    Xu Wen deliberately put his face in front of his eyes, stared at the red color, and said excitedly: “Hey, why are you so shy?”

    Before Lu Qingrang could respond, he stepped back further and touched the other party lightly with his elbow, saying with a little pride, “How do you think I am right about what I said?”

    Lu Qingrang nodded to him seriously with his red face.

    Xu Wen laughed heartily beside him.

    The topic of raising cats was settled in a tacit agreement, and no one mentioned it again.

    Lu Qingrang got the answer he wanted, and the inexplicable anxiety in his heart was soothed.

    Xu Wen also has his own selfish motives. There is already a big cat at home that needs all his attention, so why let a real kitten take away their minds?

    Fortunately, the two of them had a tacit understanding of the same frequency.

    Xu Wen had a great time shopping this time. After seeing and touching the little things that he had repeatedly struggled with and compared on the shopping app, his choice became much clearer offline.

    Even if he couldn’t make a choice in the end, Lu Qingrang would be there to choose for him.

    Finally, he stopped with satisfaction, lowered his head to face the screen of his phone, and checked off every item on his shopping list.

    “Done!”

    Next to him, Lu Qingrang was standing in front of the checkout counter, confirming the delivery address with the salesperson.As if sensing Xu Wen’s movement, he turned around.

    He didn’t say anything, just looked at Xu Wen with a smile.
