Someone suddenly coughed near the corridor. Ji Qingqing was slightly startled and quickly shook Lu Liting’s hand away.
Lu Lixing was really there at the corner of the corridor.
Ji Qingqing smiled softly and rushed over. She then hugged Lu Lixing’s hand and pulled him away.
“Husband, I’m sleepy. Let’s go to bed.”

Ji Qingqing, who usually fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed, couldn’t sleep that night.
Lu Liting’s words raced back and forth in her mind.
Ji Qingqing suddenly remembered her secret.
Even the mere thought of it kept her on her toes.*
She turned over sideways and closed her eyes as she forced herself to stop overthinking about it.
However, just as Ji Qingqing rolled over, Lu Lixing opened his eyes.
Lu Lixing did not communicate with the system.
Lu Lixing responded while looking at the top of Ji Qingqing’s head, “But even if I said it, she wouldn’t believe it.”
Lu Lixing frowned.
As he mulled over what the system said, Lu Lixing rolled over and slept with his back facing Ji Qingqing.
Yet, when late night came, the two were still unable to fall asleep. They finally couldn’t help it and turned over at the same time, facing each other.
“There is something I want to tell you.”
Both spoke in unison.
Ji Qingqing said, “What’s the matter?”
Lu Lixing said, “What’s the matter?”

“…you say it first!”
The two tacitly remained silent.
After a long silence, Ji Qingqing whispered softly, “You also couldn’t sleep because you wanted to tell me something, right?”
“Hmm.”
“The thing you wanted to tell me… is it important?”
“It’s very important.”
The two silently faced each other.
Ji Qinqing hesitantly tried to tell Lu Lixing about the matters in her heart. However, she was still unable to confess.
“Let’s get to bed first. Let us just say what needs to be said tomorrow. What do you think?”
“Okay, let’s just talk about it tomorrow.”
The two exchanged smiles then turned over and laid flat on the bed and closed their eyes.
Ten minutes later, Lu Lixing felt a gentle long breath near him. Ji Qingqing easily* came up to him with her eyes shut. Lu Lixing stretched out his hand and gently took Ji Qingqing, who was sound asleep, into his arms.
