Chapter 228 - I thought he would share your bed (3)
Bei Nuan glanced at Lu Xingchi, who had been calmly leaning against the low cabinet.
Seeing that Dansui had left, he finally slowly said, "I think her assumption is quite right."
"She's not." Bei Nuan went back to bed.
Lu Xingchi had one hand in his pants pocket, walked over, glanced at her still red eye, and picked up the plate on the windowsill to look.
"You've been making a lot of wishes lately."
"That's right," Bei Nuan made up a good excuse, "During a time of panic, it's normal for people to be superstitious."
Bei Nuan comfortably stretched and went on to say, "Making a wish is nothing. I often set rules for myself. When I go out, my first step has to be with my left foot. It's unlucky to use my right foot for that. Shoes have to be properly placed. It's unlucky to have the left and right foot not facing the same direction. I can only take an even number of steps on the staircase. If the number of steps is an odd number, I'll jump to skip past that last step. I follow plenty of superstitious practices."
Lu Xingchi sat down on the edge of her bed and stroked her head.
"Don't be afraid. Even if you really are superstitious, you should believe that good deeds will be rewarded and bad deeds will be punished. The gods will bless kind people. Doesn't something always good happen when you meet a setback?
That was true. He was right.
Bei Nuan planned out how to use her new OP ability. Being able to force people to tell the truth with a touch of her finger was an amazing tool for investigating people.
As long as she found Yawen tomorrow and asked her about the mysterious person, she would be able to dig out everything Yawen knew. And then, she wouldn't have to be a saint anymore and could say goodbye to this strange tribe.
Having settled on a plan, Bei Nuan closed her eyes in perfect contentment.
Lu Xingchi didn't hear any response. When he looked down at her, he saw that she had fallen asleep with a smile. She fell asleep so fast. She was like a little piglet.
She had been so lively all day, causing all sorts of trouble jumping and coming up with too many ideas. And now, she finally settled down. Once she calmed down and fell asleep, she was like an angel.
Lu Xingchi carefully shifted her further into the bed, sat down by her side, leaned on the headboard, and gently stroked her soft hair.
Bei Nuan made a comfortable sound and shifted closer to Lu Xingchi until her face was comfortably buried in his clothes.
Lu Xingchi's heart melted.
He pulled on the blanket that she had messed up and carefully tucked her in. He found her hand and held it underneath the blanket. He leaned on the headboard and closed his eyes.
However, his eyes only closed for less than a second.
"She must be talking nonsense again when she said she was making a wish."
Lu Xingchi heard himself speak without intending to.
Lu Xingchi: ?
"There must be something fishy about that plate. Why was she hiding herself under the blanket? Also, Dansui's behavior was very abnormal…"
Not only was he speaking, his voice was very loud as if he was giving a speech and was worried that others might not hear him. His words spilled out uncontrollably. He couldn't stop himself from speaking.
Bei Nuan shifted and drowsily grumbled. "Lu Xingchi, you're so noisy."
She seemed to have been woken up by his talking.
Lu Xingchi quickly stood up and returned to the bedding on the floor in a flash.
His uncontrollable chattering surprisingly came to a stop after a short period.
Bei Nuan only turned over, kicked her blanket to the side, went back to sleep, and snored a little bit.
Lu Xingchi gingerly walked back to the bed, pulled the blanket over her again, and readjusted her head.
Despite being moved around, Bei Nuan didn't seem like she was waking up.
Now that he had returned to normal, he sat back down on her bed, pulled the other pillow over, and put it behind his back. He took her right hand and intertwined his fingers with hers.
"Fortunately, she didn't wake up. She sleeps so deeply. She wouldn't even know if she was sold by someone. Isn't she aware there's a man in her room?"
Lu Xingchi: ???
He looked down at the hand that was holding hers. This time, he didn't move off the bed and just let go of her hand.
After a short while, his uncontrollable talking stopped again.
Lu Xingchi thought it over and held her hand again to test it out.
It started again.
Lu Xingchi let go of her right hand and tucked that hand inside. Still somewhat unwilling, he waited until he stopped talking before pulling her left arm out of the blanket. He carefully poked her left hand. Nothing strange happened.
He tentatively held her left hand, and it was still safe.
Relieved, Lu Xingchi continued to hold her hand and looked down at her sleeping face. What mischievous thing had she come up with?
