C14 Heart Under the Starry Sky
Lu Xiao felt dizzy, as if she had just woken up. She woke up and went back and forth to sleep.
When he opened his eyes, the room was dark.
When she sat up, she realized that this was the room that she had been living in. There were two wet towels on the table beside her. Her head no longer hurt and her fever had already subsided. "Could it be that the landlady is taking care of me?"
When she got out of bed, she found that her clothes had been changed as well, a loose white T-shirt, and underneath was a pair of Mitch's large shorts, almost to her knees.
Lu Xiao narrowed her eyes as she looked outside the balcony. "So it's already dusk. I've slept for so long!"
The afterglow of the setting sun shone from the balcony into the room, dyeing the entire room in a faint golden color. It was very beautiful. She was stunned. "So beautiful!"
The view outside the balcony was now like a beautiful painting. The mountains in the distance were covered with a sunset glow, and a few rays of red light along the horizon painted the entire town, which was filled with smoke, with the color of roses. It was like a distant, hazy dream. The youth in the dream wore the whitest of clothes. He stood the closest to the horizon, silently gazing into the distance.
However, this young man's beautiful long legs were adorned with a Mitch design of a pair of shorts. They were actually the same type as the shorts worn by Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao walked into the screen quietly and stood on the other side of the balcony, holding onto a pole as she watched the sunset.
There was a distance of more than a meter between the two of them, but neither of them spoke, as if it were just a painting.
Twilight had already blurred, and the sky that was filled with the sunset glow also gradually calmed down, losing its color.
The dark night slowly spread.
"Sigh …" Lu Xiao let out a deep sigh. Lee Chengze turned around and looked at her, his gaze stopped at her white thighs. Is he trying to seduce the simple villagers by lifting his pants so high? "
Lu Xiao rolled her eyes. "I knew it. You can't say anything nice. It's such a bad scene." Then, he muttered, "Nothing good will come out of a dog's mouth!"
Lee Chengze leaned forward and squeezed out a few words through his teeth, "Do you want to try my 'dog mouth' to block your mouth?"
Lu Xiao covered her mouth and backed off nervously.
She pointed at Mitch in Lee Chengze's pants and tried to change the subject. "I thought you were funny in that outfit, but I didn't laugh out of politeness." Her subtext seemed to say, "I have more qualities than you do!"
"Also, why would you wear matching clothes with me?" Lu Xiao forced a disdainful expression onto her face.
Lee Chengze looked down at his clothes and said angrily: "Our clothes are all wet, the landlady took it to wash. Don't be self-righteous! You think I want to dress up like this in this damn place? It's so ugly! "
He was actually mocked by this woman. He hadn't worn these cartoon shorts since he could remember.
Hearing their voices, the landlady downstairs shouted from the courtyard, "Miss Lu, you're awake? You two, quickly come down and eat something. You can't starve when you're sick! "
Originally, Lee Chengze didn't want to eat here. After hearing the landlady's words, he changed his mind. He couldn't let the sick people starve.
"Let's go!" He took the lead and walked down with long legs.
Lu Xiao ran after her, shouting happily as she ran, "Auntie, my stomach has been growling since a long time ago."
In the courtyard below, there was a large wooden couch with a simple wooden dining table, several side dishes, and two bowls of steaming beef noodles.
Lu Xiao was overjoyed. She crossed her legs and sat on the bed, "Wow, this is auntie's best beef noodles. We are lucky to have it! "Thank you Auntie!"
The aunt laughed and said, "If you like it, then eat more. Your husband has taken care of you for a whole day, right? The couple eat slowly, then I won't disturb the two of you anymore! "
When Lu Xiao heard that it was Lee Chengze who took care of her, she felt quite warm in her heart.
Seeing Lee Chengze stand away awkwardly, he immediately threw a cushion over. "Sit on this, hurry up, it won't taste good anymore." Then, he started to eat with relish.
Lee Chengze had never eaten such a simple meal in such a simple place.
He sat down across from her and frowned at her. "I don't eat cilantro!"
"So many things!" Lu Xiao rolled her eyes at him and used her chopsticks to pick up all the cilantro in his bowl.
"Eat!" "Sir CEO!" She said in a strange tone. He pushed the bowl towards him.
Lee Chengze picked up his chopsticks and took a bite. This taste, he didn't feel that it was very tasty.
He ate very slowly, like he was counting noodles, eating them one by one. "I really don't understand, why is your food so delicious?"
"Because it's delicious! There was the smell of good memories! That's why it's even more delicious! " When Lu Xiao answered him, her face was full of happiness. She contentedly drank the last mouthful of soup and even belched ungracefully.
Lee Chengze revealed a look of disdain, "Look at you now, do you still look like a woman?"
"Why are you like a woman? I am a woman! " Lu Xiao said, pushing the cushion and lying down, "In such a beautiful place, why are you still carrying such an elegant outer shell? "As long as it's comfortable, you have to be the real you."
"What is so beautiful about it? It's so rural and remote!" Look, it's pitch black everywhere. " Lee Chengze pointed around and said in disdain, "Why do I feel like the world in your eyes is different from what I saw?"
"That's very simple. Lie down like me and you will be able to see the world I see!" Lu Xiao looked at him sincerely and waved at him.
Lee Chengze surprisingly did as he was told. They were lying side by side with a small table in between them.
"Look up!" Lu Xiao blinked at him, her eyes shining like stars.
Following the direction she was pointing towards, Lee Chengze saw an enchanting starry sky and was stunned for a moment.
The night sky in front of him was like a painting that had just been painted on, and it was still watery. Countless stars broke through the canvas and stuck their heads out, shining like fragments of precious stones, like the way Lu Xiao had looked at him just now.
"How is it? The world in my eyes. " Lu Xiao asked softly, and before he could answer, she said, "You are usually too high up in the sky, always looking down at the world. That's why you can't see the scenery above your head."
"So, what did I miss?" Lee Chengze said lazily.
Lu Xiao no longer spoke. She didn't want to break this tranquil and beautiful atmosphere.
Lee Chengze turned around and looked at her. Suddenly, a thought appeared in his mind. He wanted to know what Lu Xiao looked like after he missed her.
The wind was still blowing softly. Lee Chengze thought back to their past:
Lu Xiao, who had just lost her parents, was dressed in plain clothes. Her eyes were not filled with tears, but were filled with determination and stubbornness.
One month he came to her with another woman and said, I don't love you. Lu Xiao smiled faintly. "Good. This is perfect."
In a certain month, they swore an oath in front of the priest, but they didn't look at each other. They were supposed to be intimate couples, but they never met each other.
Today, some month in the future, the memory of her tearful face begging him to believe her.
It turned out that he had never seriously understood her.
"I really seem to have missed something! Lu Xiao! You've always made me believe you. Today we will open our hearts and tell me what the truth is about you. " Lee Chengze said seriously that he was willing to believe that Lu Xiao wasn't the kind of woman who had a deep scheming mind.
However, after waiting for a long time, Lu Xiao didn't reply.
Li Zhi sat up and saw that Lu Xiao was fast asleep.
"Heh …" He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It wasn't easy to get a good talk with her, but this woman actually fell asleep.
As he was carrying Lu Xiao upstairs, he complained, "You just ate so much, why does it feel light again?"
His heart began to ache. How did this frail body bear his torture before?
When he put Lu Xiao on the bed, she suddenly woke up. She resisted instinctively and pushed him, her voice full of vigilance. "What are you doing?"
"What can I do? Do you really take me for a beast? I'm not interested in the patient. Just sleep in peace. " Lee Chengze covered her with the blanket.
Lu Xiao closed her eyes and moved her body slightly to let half of the bed open.
Lee Chengze smiled as he laid on the bed. This was the first time they shared a bed and didn't do anything. This seemingly hard bed seemed more comfortable than he imagined.
