Chapter 187: A Stolen Leisure
"Just a minor injury, it'll be fine in a couple of days."
Before Xiao Cheng could finish his sentence, Bai Lu had already led him back to the room, taking the untouched medicinal wine from the table and returning to continue what they were doing.
With the experience from the first time, Xiao Cheng could now remain calm as Bai Lu unbuttoned his shirt once again.
He also figured out that when he was drunk, he must have done something that made Bai Lu unusually tolerant and close to him.
Especially close.
Xiao Cheng suddenly wanted to see how tolerant Bai Lu could be when he was drunk, and to what extent she would get close to him.
"Lulu."
Bai Lu unbuttoned the last button and responded, "Hmm, turn around."
Xiao Cheng, slowed by half a second, was pushed to turn around. Soft and delicate hands covered his back, applying a cool sensation.
From gentle to half-force, gradually increasing pressure, a burning sensation ignited on his back.
Bai Lu could feel the warmth in her hands and comforted, "Don't be afraid, the pain will go away quickly. This medicinal wine is quite effective. I applied it the night before last, skipped last night, and the injury is already improving."
"Congestion is dispersing, the bruising is fading, and after applying it tonight, it'll be fine."
Xiao Cheng couldn't recall what he said to Bai Lu when he was drunk, so he could only respond with a simple "Hmm."
Thinking he might be reluctant to speak due to the pain, Bai Lu decisively increased the rubbing speed and pressure.
At the same time, she shifted the topic, "Do you like the wallet?"
Xiao Cheng nodded and finally asked the lingering question, "Who did you buy it for?"
A silver-bell-like laughter came from behind, "I bought it for you. That night, after giving you the new pillow and your bank card, I felt it was unsafe, so I let you hide the card in the pillow. Later, you said there was no wallet, so I bought you one."
Xiao Cheng finally realized that the bank card was no longer under White Dew's pillow but under his own.
He also finally knew that the wallet was indeed bought for him, but it happened when he was drunk.
Clouds in his heart dispersed, but an indescribable mix of envy and jealousy occupied his emotions.
"What else did I say?"
"Nothing much." Bai Lu didn't want to bring up the topic of male enhancement supplements, afraid he would start boiling soup late at night again.
Thinking about the painkiller incident, she was even more reluctant to speak, "Nothing special."
Originally, Bai Lu didn't plan to mention it, but Xiao Cheng sensed her unnatural tone and inquired, "Did I do something?"
"Nothing, really." Bai Lu quickly finished applying the medicine, "Alright, put on your clothes and go to sleep."
She took the small medicine bottle back to the table by the window.
Seeing a fleeting blush on the girl's face, Xiao Cheng couldn't help but find it amusing.
He picked up the shirt from the bed and casually put it on, then said, "Lulu."
Not wanting to hear another unreasonable request from the little one or get kissed unexpectedly again, Bai Lu swiftly took over the task of buttoning his shirt, finishing it quickly.
She then pushed him gently.
Covering him with the blanket, she said, "It's late; go to sleep."
Xiao Cheng hadn't expected to stay overnight. Her tolerance for him when he was drunk was truly limitless.
"Lulu..."
Unable to resist the seductive tone, Bai Lu couldn't stand it and covered his mouth, "No more talking. No more unreasonable demands. If you make another unreasonable demand, you'll sleep in the utility room."
Oh... so it was an unreasonable demand.
Xiao Cheng nodded slightly, indicating agreement, and gestured to indicate she could let go.
Seeing his genuine expression, Bai Lu released her hand.
Xiao Cheng pursed his lips, raised his hand, and turned off the light.
In the split second before the light was replaced by moonlight, he could still vaguely see the slender figure exhaling in relief.
The shallow breathing gradually became steady and prolonged.
Sure enough, within a short while, the familiar sleeping figure turned back, nestling into his arms.
Xiao Cheng happily embraced the slender figure, letting the familiar fragrance invade all his senses. However, in his heart, there was an inevitable sigh.
Whether sleeping alone or together, she could sleep soundly, undisturbed by his presence or absence.
Unlike him...
From night to dawn, from moonlight to sunlight, from countless stars in the sky to the rising dawn.
Xiao Wei saw Bai Lu elegantly rushing into the kitchen, and his toothbrushing actions instinctively paused.
Hearing the familiar sound of the machine starting up, he quickly continued brushing.
As Bai Lu came out with a toothbrush, water cup, and basin, Xiao Wei informed her, "Big sister-in-law, it seems only Aunt Wu came to pick up chestnuts today."
Bai Lu was momentarily stunned. It wasn't a matter of "seems," it was a fact!
Apart from this route in town, the other nine routes had been cut off by Li Chengbin, and the big boss was handling it.
Before receiving any news, she had only supplied chestnuts to Wen Xiuyun, and it was enough. There was no need to stir-fry thousands of kilograms of chestnuts.
Bai Lu, waking up from her deep regret for oversleeping, held her toothbrush and quickly ran back to turn off the power.
Having everything sorted out, she thought about finally having a morning of her own to work in the vegetable garden. The joy was evident as she brushed her teeth.
"Xiao Wei, where's your brother?"
"He went to buy breakfast."
As Xiao Wei finished his sentence, the softly closed courtyard door was pushed open. The tall and sturdy figure of the man walked in.
A rich and delicious aroma of wontons wafted in.
Bai Lu and Xiao Wei's eyes brightened, and they quickly finished washing up and sat at the dining table, enjoying a happy meal with the big boss.
Everyone had been busy lately, and there was no time to savor the delicious taste of food, let alone enjoy leisurely moments.
Today was no exception. Although Bai Lu finally had some free time, Xiao Cheng had to go to the city, Xiao Wei had to go to school, and breakfast was the only time they could share.
Despite the busyness, the three of them ate heartily, and the only regret was the absence of a cup of soy milk.
Perhaps Xiao Cheng forgot today, but Bai Lu didn't mind. She wasn't particularly fond of soy milk at the moment.
After breakfast, Bai Lu checked the roasted chestnuts and prepared the quantity needed for Wu Xiuyun. Then, she returned to the room to settle the accounts.
She had returned thirty thousand to Xiao Cheng before, and during this period, she had earned nearly twenty thousand.
Finally, she wasn't the poor newcomer burdened with debts. Debt-free, she felt light and happy just thinking about it.
Bai Lu took a pair of scissors and a vase, running to the vegetable garden. She headed straight to the rose bushes across the small river.
The vase was found when she cleaned up
the utility room, a slim and elegant little vase, seemingly unused. She didn't know if it was left by the previous homeowner or recently bought by Xiao Cheng. Regardless, she decided to make good use of it.
Trimming away excess branches and thorns, she inserted the pink roses into the vase, holding it in her arms as she returned to the front yard.
Just as she stepped into the main house, she met Xiao Cheng, who was about to leave. The large bunch of pink roses was immediately presented in front of him.
"Does it look good? Is it beautiful?"
Before Xiao Cheng could answer, a wave of pink flowers surrounded him.
"Brother Cheng, good morning!"
The sudden appearance of a sea of pink flowers caught Xiao Cheng off guard. The sea of flowers was topped by the sweet and charming smile of the girl.
