She sat down by the table, rehearsing her lines into the air.
Lu Beichen walked over after dinner and asked, "It’s so late today. Still practicing your lines?"
She nodded, rolled her eyes, and asked, "Little Uncle, want to help me with the lines?"
After saying that, she regretted it, thinking how could he do such a boring thing, and turned her head aside, feeling remorseful.
Unexpectedly, he sat down, took the script in his hands, "Let me take a look first!"
He only glanced at it briefly and then put the script down, "Let’s start!"
Ji Niandong swallowed, "Little Uncle, are you really going to read lines with me? Play as my sister?"
"I specifically bought you your favorite soy milk and String Beans’ house noodles, eat more, you’ve been back for a week, and your sister hasn’t been home to accompany you..." He was already practicing the lines, just as if he were rehearsing a language textbook cooperatively.
Hearing him say it made her feel a bit awkward, and despite only glancing at it, he recited the lines flawlessly.
Ji Niandong didn’t do anything, just stared blankly at him, her eyes full of confusion and surprise, Lu Beichen responded lightly, "What? If not, hurry up and rest; I don’t want my Mrs. Lu sitting alone in the living room rehearsing lines in the middle of the night."
Ji Niandong shot up, smiling slightly, "I’ll go take a bath and rest now, Little Uncle, you should rest early too!"
Lu Beichen speaking so seriously about such a thing was downright strange!
She bent down, grabbed her materials, and hurriedly ran to her room.
The silly and adorable look of the little woman was really cute!
Ji Niandong closed the door and spread the script over the bed, obediently went to take a bath, and still practiced expressions in front of the mirror, keeping her voice low for fear of Lu Beichen hearing her.
Even after her bath, she was still mumbling.
She had only a bathrobe wrapped around her, loose-fitting style, her shoulder blades prominently displayed in a straight line, looking quite enticing.
She had a tall and slender figure, but with a small frame, looking coquettish with a hint of elegance.
"What are you doing in my room?!" Seeing Lu Beichen leaning against the door, she was startled, took a step back, and crossed her arms in front of her.
He waved the paper in his hand, "You dropped a page; I brought it in for you!"
He walked over without showing any emotion, and Ji Niandong pretended to be calm as she took the page into her hand, "Thank you, Little Uncle! If there’s nothing else, I’ll go to sleep!"
She looked at him warily, stepped back into the bed bit by bit, and then only showed a small face.
Lu Beichen walked to the bedside, looking down at her, smiled and said, "I promised to wait for you; I won’t do anything to you for the time being!"
She breathed a slight sigh of relief and then heard him say, "But, a goodnight kiss is still needed!"
Goodnight kiss? Ji Niandong instinctively closed her eyes, waiting for the goodnight kiss, but it’s just a kiss, learn to adapt.
"I meant, you kiss me!" he said, already sitting by the bed, eyes filled with a teasing smile.
Ji Niandong blinked her big eyes a few times at him, got up, kissed his cheek, and quickly dove back under the covers, not even a strand of hair exposed.
"A kiss on the cheek counts?" His voice carried a playful tone.
"Of course, it’s still a kiss!" She responded with a nasal sound from under the covers, somewhat cheeky.
Lu Beichen covered his mouth with his hand, chuckled unintentionally. Then he softly said, "Well, from now on, morning kisses and goodnight kisses every day... must be on the lips!"
