Lu Gan pushed his wheelchair toward the bedside table. He opened a drawer and took out the necklace. After that, he returned to Song Ci and placed it in her hand.
“Open your eyes.”
Song Ci opened her eyes and saw the moon-shaped necklace. It was clear and bright. At that moment, Song Ci’s heart was filled with joy.
“I love it. It’s beautiful.”
Lu Gan took the necklace from Song Ci’s hand. Then, he helped her put it on.
“It suits you very well.”
“I think so too.”
Song Ci gently twirled the necklace.
Suddenly, Song Ci’s heart began beating rapidly. It was late at night and she felt a little impulsive.
The atmosphere became ambiguous.
Lu Gan noticed that Song Ci was staring at him. Before she could do anything, he said, “The children are asleep. Go and give them their presents.”
Upon hearing that, Song Ci’s heart calmed down. She was a little disappointed but also relieved.
Song Ci nodded and left with the extra-large Christmas stockings. She headed to Lu Suo’s room. To her surprise, Song Yujin was also there.
‘Were they playing together again?’
Song Ci smiled and placed their gifts beside Lu Suo’s bed. Subsequently, she tiptoed away. She returned to Lu Gan’s bedroom but stopped outside the door.
Song Ci leaned against the wall while holding her necklace and thought of Lu Gan.
‘We’ve been together for a long time and I think he likes me. However, he’s still unwilling to do anything. I know he’s embarrassed, but I really don’t mind. Sigh… I’ll just have to think of another way to get closer to him. I won’t give up! Besides, I like him too.’
Song Ci felt motivated. She finally opened the door and walked in.
Lu Gan was already lying on the bed.
Song Ci quickly followed suit.
Once she got on, Lu Gan immediately hugged her.
Song Ci hugged him back.
The couple stayed silent and closed their eyes. Both of them probably had the same thoughts.
That night was particularly cold, making Lu Gan’s embrace especially warm. Song Ci leaned closer. She could not help but kiss his chin.
Lu Gan said helplessly, “Aren’t you supposed to be sleeping?”
“What if I don’t?”
Lu Gan chuckled. He kissed his wife on her lips and said, “What do you think?”
In reality, Lu Gan had wanted to kiss Song Ci for a long time. Earlier, when she was closing her eyes obediently, it made him feel excited.
Lu Gan gently bit Song Ci’s lips while she held his hands. They were tangled together like vines. The couple kept kissing.
‘I can’t resist her at all…’
After a long time, Lu Gan finally let go of Song Ci. He looked at the hickeys on her fair shoulders, feeling satisfied.
Song Ci slowly lifted her eyelids. Her eyes were shimmering. All of a sudden, she said softly, “Sleep.”
Song Ci’s appearance almost made Lu Gan lose control again. He coughed unnaturally and nodded.
Lu Gan kissed Song Ci on the cheek gently and tried to back away. He dared not stay too close to her. However, Song Ci hugged him tightly.
It seemed like Lu Gan would be suffering from insomnia again tonight despite having Song Ci by his side.
