    Chapter 123 Home

    The bathroom door was gently pushed open, and the steaming heat rushed out first. Immediately, Lu Qingrang walked out with Xu Wen in his arms, both of them carrying wet moisture on their bodies.

    Xu Wen was almost completely limp in his arms, his eyes were half-closed, and he couldn’t muster any strength in his body, allowing Lu Qingrang to hold him and move him.

    It wasn’t until his back sank into the large and soft mattress that he managed to move his eyelids and tried to open them, but in the end he couldn’t resist the exhaustion and satisfaction sweeping through his body.

    Lu Qingrang gently held him in his arms, with a soothing warmth in his palms, caressing his back, and said in a low and soft voice, “Go to sleep.”

    The warmth spread through the back to the whole body, mixing with the same smell as the person next to him.Xu Wen’s last tense nerves completely relaxed, his breathing gradually became steady, and he fell into a dreamless sleep.

    Lu Qing let the person in his arms relax a little and become completely soft.

    His hand did not stop, still maintaining the gentle stroking movement, and his eyes carefully traced Xu Wen’s sleeping brows, watching how his slightly frown slowly relaxed, and watching how his tight lip line became softer.Lu Qingrang’s movements slowly stopped until it was confirmed that he had completely fallen asleep.

    Fatigue also creeps in.

    But he still couldn’t bear to look away, just looking at it, as if he couldn’t get enough.

    In the end, he reluctantly moved away, stretched out his arms, and turned off the cat lamp on the bedside that exuded a warm yellow glow.

    There was a soft sound, and darkness enveloped me gently.

    Lu Qingrang blinked and took a moment to adapt. Then with the faint moonlight leaking in from the window, he could see Xu Wen’s quiet profile again.The corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and then he closed his eyes with peace of mind.

    The room was extremely quiet, except for the sound of Xu Wen’s shallow breathing.

    Lu Qingrang gently placed a hand on Xu Wen’s heart, and a steady and powerful heartbeat came from under his palm, one after another.

    He listened to the voice and finally let his breathing slowly synchronize with it.

    A peaceful night.

    Xu Wen was awakened by the warmth that enveloped him.

    He opened his eyes drowsily, and before he could fully regain consciousness, the first thing he felt was the coveted body temperature close to him.He lay like this quietly for a while, then slowly moved his head out of Lu Qingrang’s arms.

    It was already bright outside.

    He turned sideways with difficulty and saw a clear blue sky through the slightly swaying white gauze curtain, with fluffy white clouds floating leisurely.The sun shone brightly, and the sound of the city’s awakening could be heard faintly in the distance.

    Xu Wen looked at the scenery that belonged to them in a daze.

    An arm gently wrapped around his waist, and his warm body pressed against him.

    Lu Qingrang’s sleepy voice sounded muffled in his ears, and his lips brushed against the back of his neck, “Why are you awake…”

    Xu Wen was a little itchy from being rubbed, so he shrank his neck, but his eyes were still looking out the window: “Brother Lu, look outside…”

    As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he was stunned. His voice was hoarse and showed signs of overuse.

    When Lu Qingrang heard this, he raised his head from the crook of Xu Wen’s neck and glanced at the bright blue sky in his direction.

    But he only looked at it for a moment, and then his eyes fell back on the red tips of Xu Wen’s ears.

    He gently lifted the quilt and stood up.

    The buzz of the kettle came from the kitchen, and Xu Wen’s ears twitched. He didn’t look back, and his eyes drifted to the window again.The sky was still that blue, and he just stared blankly, his mind empty and thinking of nothing.

    Not long after, Lu Qingrang came back, holding a glass of warm water in his hand.

    He sat on the edge of the bed again, used a little force on his arm to lift Xu Wen up a little, and carefully brought the rim of the cup to his lips.

    Xu Wen took his hand and drank half a glass of warm water in small sips. His thirsty and stinging throat was finally relieved.

    After feeding him water, Lu Qingrang immediately put down the cup, quickly got back into the still-warm bed, and wrapped Xu Wen in his arms again.

    Xu Wen leaned back and integrated himself deeper into the embrace.After a moment of silence, he murmured in a calm tone:

    “Brother Lu, you fooled me last night.”

    The arms around his waist paused.

    Xu Wen didn’t wait for a response, but turned around first, changing from facing away from him to facing him face to face.

    He saw the stunned expression on Lu Qingrang’s face, and suddenly smiled slyly, his eyebrows and eyes curved, a little playful, but also hidden with connivance.

    “However,” he reached out and patted Lu Qingrang’s cheek with a brisk tone, “it’s quite comfortable. I forgive you.”

    Lu Qingrang didn’t expect this reaction at all, and looked at him in surprise for a moment.

    Xu Wen tried hard to keep a straight face, trying to maintain his open-minded image.God knew how much he wanted to erase those embarrassing sobs and pleas for mercy last night from his memory.

    He cleared his throat and tried to regain some initiative: “But, next time I have to give in…”

    “Xu Wen,” Lu Qingrang suddenly spoke, interrupting his unfinished words. There was no emotion in his voice, “Are you still sleepy now?”

    “Huh?” Xu Wen was stunned by this sudden question, and subconsciously answered honestly, “Okay? Actually, it’s a bit…” Halfway through his words, he stumbled into the suddenly darkening eyes of the person next to him.

    There was an undercurrent surging inside, and there was no trace of the confusion that just woke up.

    No!!!

    “I’m sleepy! I’m so sleepy! I need to sleep now!” He quickly changed his words, subconsciously trying to move back.

    Unfortunately it was too late.

    The quilt was lifted up by a force and gently wrapped around his head.

    Immediately afterwards, a warm and solid body wrapped around him, sealing all his unspoken excuses and protests into a deeper kiss.

    His already weak and weak body could not put up any decent resistance. In the end, Xu Wen could only grasp the sheets at hand in vain, surrendering himself completely, completely immersed in the overly hot love.

    Before his consciousness completely faded, he used his last bit of strength to squeeze out a few broken syllables: “…ask for leave…remember…”

    Lu Qingrang’s movements paused slightly. He lowered his head, brushed Xu Wen’s sweaty forehead, wiped the moisture from the end of his eyes, looked at the sleeping face of the person in his arms tenderly, and whispered:

    “Okay.”

    He stretched his arm to reach the mobile phone on the bedside table, clicked his fingers quickly a few times, and sent a brief message. The mobile phone was thrown back casually.

    After doing all this, he tightened his arms again, hugged Xu Wen deeper into his arms, and fell into a warm dream together with satisfaction.
