Lin Lang waited outside the door for a moment.
He didn't receive a response from Lü Suran.
Then the door opened directly.
Lin Lang walked in naturally, smiling as he said:
"Did you forget the secret code?"
Lü Suran looked at him, her expression a bit puffy with anger: "What kind of secret code is that? Free food and lodging, and you want to take me along… Are you trying to take advantage of me?"
So she only just realized it now? She really is a bit slow.
Lin Lang didn't admit it, instead he took out a few small bottles from his space and handed them to her: "Here's your medicine."
Lü Suran looked at the variously shaped small bottles, and without realizing it, her eyes turned slightly red.
Then she lowered her head and said softly:
"I saw you looking for medicine for me in the group, thank you."
Lin Lang smiled:
"How do you plan to thank me?"
Lü Suran raised her head, looking serious: "But I have nothing left."
Lin Lang suddenly stepped closer, wrapping his arm around her slender waist, leaning down to look into her eyes:
"Come to my place, free food and lodging, are you willing?"
Lü Suran instinctively struggled.
But it was futile.
When she looked up, she met Lin Lang's gaze.
"I…"
Her face instantly flushed red.
Lin Lang could feel the heat radiating from her face.
And her heartbeat.
It was fast.
Just as Lü Suran's mind went blank, unsure of how to respond.
Lin Lang let her go, saying: "Sorry, I forgot you can't handle stimulation. You should take your medicine first."
A strategy of feigned retreat.
A balance of tension and relaxation.
This is the charm of a man.
"Um…"
Lü Suran didn't expect him to let her go so easily.
She dazedly took the medicine, then suddenly snapped back to reality.
So she hurriedly turned and ran away.
Like a little rabbit escaping for its life.
She ran to the bedroom.
She found the purified water Lin Lang had given her from under the bed, twisted the cap open, and swallowed a pill.
"Phew!"
She gasped for air.
Recalling the scene from just now, she couldn't help but feel a wave of shame! Her pure white toes were almost digging into the floor!
That Lin Bulang actually made such an impolite move towards her! But she, surprisingly…
Didn't feel that repulsed.
In fact, it felt quite nice.
Oh my god!
Could it be!
I've already started to like him?!
"Are you okay?"
At that moment.
Lin Lang's voice came from outside the door.
"I'm fine!"
Lü Suran quickly replied.
She reached out to touch her cheek with the back of her hand; it was still burning hot! With this appearance, how could she face anyone outside? So she had to say:
"Um, I need to rest a bit, can you come back another day?"
As soon as she said it.
She immediately regretted it! The deal was already done—she gave him fruit, and he gave her supplies.
So why would he come back another day? Lin Lang smiled outside the door, but said:
"No, you have to come out to see me off, it's a matter of etiquette."
Etiquette, huh!
Is there anyone more rude than you in this world?
At this moment, Lü Suran's face was as red as a boiled lobster.
She absolutely refused to go out.
Suddenly.
Lin Lang's voice outside turned serious: "Open the door, a bug has come in."
A bug has come in?!
Hearing this, Lü Suran's heart skipped a beat! But almost simultaneously.
She remembered that last time Lin Lang used this trick to trick her into letting him in!
Is he using the same tactic again?
Hmph! This time I won't fall for it! But the next second.
The door still opened.
She was still scared—
What if this time it's true?
If there really is a bug, and she refuses to let Lin Lang in, wouldn't that be like killing him?
As soon as the door opened.
Lin Lang slipped in.
Lü Suran was both curious and scared, wanting to take the chance to peek outside.
But Lin Lang quickly closed the door, not giving her that opportunity at all.
Was there really a bug outside or not? Lü Suran couldn't be sure.
But deep down, she hoped Lin Lang was lying to her.
Otherwise.
How would Lin Lang get back?
"Is there really…"
"Shh!"
Lin Lang frowned, scanning the surroundings.
Then he moved the bedside table to the door, barricading it.
Lü Suran quickly covered her mouth.
Her heart suddenly believed him seven or eight points!
She didn't dare to breathe! Her face quickly turned from red to pale! Her delicate body trembled slightly.
Seeing this, Lin Lang reached out and held her in his arms, whispering in her ear: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Lü Suran instinctively tightened her grip on Lin Lang's arm.
Feeling his solid body.
She finally felt a bit more at ease.
The two of them kept their eyes fixed on the door, not blinking.
Time passed second by second.
There was no sound outside.
Lü Suran felt her arm getting a bit numb, and gently moved in Lin Lang's embrace.
Lin Lang let out a sigh of relief:
"It should be gone."
He released Lü Suran.
Then he pretended to want to open the door to take a look.
"Don't!"
Lü Suran instinctively said.
"What if, what if the bug hasn't left?"
Lin Lang heard this and put his hand down: "Then what should we do?"
Lü Suran looked at him nervously.
Lin Lang sighed: "To be safe, let's stay a little longer. The bug outside won't find anything to eat, so it should leave."
After saying that.
He sat down on Lü Suran's bed.
Then he looked around.
A very fresh and simple bedroom, decorated quite simply.
Lü Suran asked nervously:
"When will the bug leave?"
Lin Lang sighed:
"I don't know that."
Lü Suran bit her lip tightly, unsure of what to say.
Lin Lang patted the spot next to him:
"Don't just stand there, come sit down and conserve your energy."
Lü Suran hesitated for a moment, but still sat down.
Lin Lang continued:
"Your supplies should be in this bedroom, right? It should be enough for the two of us to eat for a few days."
"A few days?!"
Lü Suran was stunned!
How could she share a room with a strange man for several days?!
During this time.
What about eating and sleeping? What about going to the bathroom?!
Are we supposed to solve everything in this bedroom?
Lin Lang, however, didn't care at all, simply leaned back and lay on the bed: "When faced with difficulties, sleep it off! When you wake up, maybe there will be a way to solve it."
Lü Suran couldn't help but gently push him:
"You can't really plan to stay here for a few days, right?"
Lin Lang kept his eyes closed:
"Are you going to kick me out now?"
Lü Suran pushed him again:
"Is there really a bug outside?"
Lin Lang still kept his eyes closed: "Am I the kind of person who lies?"
...
Time passed second by second, and evening arrived.
The sounds outside were faint and indistinct.
It could be the bug.
Or it could just be the wind blowing.
Lü Suran couldn't be sure, nor could she determine.
She sat stiffly on the bed.
Eventually, unable to hold on any longer, she lay down next to Lin Lang.
Her gaze blankly fixed on the ceiling.
Until late at night.
Lin Lang said that the light would attract bugs, so he turned off the bedroom light, plunging the surroundings into darkness.
A dead silence.
Lü Suran felt a bit scared and couldn't help but lean closer to Lin Lang.
Lin Lang held her in his arms, feeling her slightly trembling body gradually calm down, then slowly grow warm.
Lin Lang asked: "Are you afraid of dying?"
Lü Suran replied: "I'm not afraid of dying, but I'm in pain, and I'm afraid of bugs."
Lin Lang asked again:
"If we were to die here, do you have any wishes?"
Lü Suran was silent for a long time:
"Because of my heart condition, I rarely go out, and I've never seen the outside world… What about you? If we were to die here, do you have any wishes?"
Lin Lang said: "I want… you."
"..."
A long, awkward silence.
Lin Lang's hand silently slid up her waist: "Is that okay?"
After a long time.
Lin Lang heard a soft affirmative hum from her throat: "Mm."
"Here's one for you."
"What is this?"
"Chocolate, to replenish our energy, so we can plan our escape later."
