âThatâs my room. Of course I must be here.â Lu looked cool and serious.
Ai hesitated and said, âAlright. You can sleep here. ThenIâll sleep in the guest room.â
Lu turned over a page of the document and said calmly, âThereâs only one guest room. Are you going to lie on the same bed with Du?â
âErrrhâ¦Isnât there another one?â Ai remembered she clearly saw three rooms when she came.
âThe last room is a study.â Lu raised his head and looked at her, âHow about me going to that room with Du?â
âNo. No. No. Absolutely no!â That reminded her of what Ji said to her. Ai refused it hurriedly.
âEh-huh?â Lu thought there was something a little bit weird about Aiâs behavior.
ââ¦â Ai struggled for a long time and said, âIâll go to the living room then.â
She neither wanted Lu to sleep with Du nor with herself. So this was the only way.
Lu sunk down his head and looked through his documents, âSure. But I am afraid that it will be freezing cold because the temperature here varies quite sharply. Youâd better wear more clothes when sleeping.â
âBut arenât there quilts?â
âEmmâ¦I mean more clothes beneath your quilt.â
ââ¦â She didnât buy his words. How could it be so freezing? Lu must be scaring me.
She turned around to fetch the quilt in the wardrobe.
âOh, well. There used to be a soldier who liked to move a lot when sleeping and kicked his quilt off the bed. He woke up as an ice bar the next morning. After that, heâ¦â
âDied?â
âNot that serious. But amputated.â
ââ¦?â
âI am going to take a shower.â Lu got out of the bed and entered the bathroom.
Ai didnât want to be amputated, so she took out the quilt and put it on the bed tamely, where Lu took one side and she took the other.
Lu noticed there was a pump on the bed when he came out of the bathroom. And he couldnât help sneezing when seeing the quilt almost pushed to the edge.
He walked to bed, lifted the quilt and lay down, squeezing in as he liked.
Ai was nervous and did not dare to move. Her body was stiff like an iron plate.
But Lu just fell into sleep beside her. And then didnât move.
Eh? He didnât touch me?
She relaxed with that thought but then stressed up suddenly. He didnât do anything but went to sleep as usual with a young lady sleeping beside him. Is he reallyâ¦a gay?
Isnât Qin Zhan dangerous?
She turned around and looked at Lu. He looked pretty but why did he like man?
âHave you seen enough?â Lu still kept his eyes shut, but his words shocked Ai to death.
She turned back to him quickly, âIâve never done that. I just wanted to ask you to turn off the light.â
âhumph.â Lu didnât think so but he still turned it off. The room was plunged into darkness.
Ai tossed with tons of questions in her mind. Whether Du was Qin Zhan or not? If he was, why did he change his name? He didnât seem to know me, but there was something familiar in his eyes.â
And, Lu and Du, Are they reallyâ¦
Alas. She was so upset and couldnât help sighing deeply.
