After rebirth, my new love and I made it real

The firelight flickered, casting the shadows of two people on the wall.

Lin Qingran pressed her body against Lu Siheng, her hands wrapped around his waist and tightly grasped his thin clothes, her voice trembling with fear, "Lu Siheng, it seems that there is a power outage at home... a power outage."

Lu Siheng held the lighter in one hand and subconsciously protected her waist with the other hand.

His body was stiff as he was held in the embrace, and his jawline was tense.

"Well, it should be the wind and rain that caused the circuit failure."

Lin Qingran clutched his clothes and raised her eyes slightly to look at him. Her vision was blurred by tears and she could only see his slightly gentle outline illuminated by the fire.

The cold scent of agarwood lingered around him.

But it makes people feel at ease for some reason.

"Lu Siheng, I'm just a little afraid of the dark." Lin Qingran said in a low voice, as if trying to explain something.

She didn't like the pitch-black darkness, where her senses were magnified and everything around her seemed ghostly.

Lu Siheng lowered his eyes to look at her, and his hands around her waist tightened unconsciously. After a pause, he carefully put them back.

"It's okay, you're not the only one here."

Lin Qingran had already felt his body temperature, and after she was no longer so scared, she slowly let go of him and kept some distance from him.

"When did you come back?" she asked.

"A little after one in the morning."

When he came back, Lin Qingran had already fallen asleep.

Lin Qingran gently wiped the tears from her cheeks with her fingertips and asked, "Did the weather affect the flight?"

"No, the weather suddenly became bad after the flight arrived."

"That's good." Lin Qingran said softly, "I thought you wouldn't come back today."

"I won't not reply."

Lu Siheng stared at her, his eyes clear and gentle, "I promised you that I would be back within a week."

Lin Qingran stared at him blankly, her eyes rippling slightly, but soon returned to calm.

"Something seems to have been smashed downstairs." She told him the unusual noise she had just heard, "It sounded like a window."

"I'll take you back to your bedroom and then go downstairs to check."

"it is good."

The lighter in Lu Siheng's hand became the only source of light.

Lin Qingran followed him obediently and walked towards the bedroom.

After entering the room, she took out her cell phone first, turned on the built-in flashlight, and held the phone in her palm.

Lu Siheng went downstairs and came up again with a candlestick in his hand.

"The electricity may not be back for a while, this candle can provide you with some light."

Lin Qingran sat at the head of the bed and hugged herself, silently watching Lu Siheng holding the candlestick and walking towards the table in the corner.

Soon, the room was shrouded in a warm yellow light.

"What's going on down there?" she asked.

"There is a window in the living room that was directly knocked off by the broken tree. The wind and rain outside haven't stopped yet, so we can only ask someone to come and fix it tomorrow."

Lin Qingran uttered "Oh" softly.

What I was thinking about was the huge gap left after the window was scraped off.

Does that mean...

Someone could crawl in there and sneak into the house quietly...

"Is it okay for you to be alone?"

Lu Siheng's voice pulled her out of her imaginary picture.

Lin Qingran rested her chin on her knees, looked at him without blinking, and said "hmm".

"If you need anything, just call me," he said again.

The door opened and closed.

Lu Siheng's slender figure completely disappeared from her sight.

-

Lu Siheng returned to his bedroom and closed the door, leaving a gap.

Afraid that he wouldn’t be able to hear Lin Qingran when she called him.

Lying on the bed, I could faintly see the candlelight coming through the crack under the door opposite.

He closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep.

knock knock --

There was a faint knock on the door.

Lu Siheng quickly opened his eyes, got up from the bed, and looked towards the door. "Who?"

"It's me, Lin Qingran." The person outside the door spoke in a low voice.

"come in."

Lin Qingran was standing at the door in her pajamas, holding a pillow in her hands.

Lu Siheng looked over and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Lin Qingran looked at him without saying anything, as if she found it difficult to speak.

"Afraid?" Lu Siheng asked tentatively.

Lin Qingran hugged the pillow tightly, staring at him with her peach blossom eyes. After a while, she uttered a weak voice like a cat: "Lu Siheng, can I sleep with you?"

Lu Siheng was slightly stunned.

Lin Qingran stood straight, one hand gently grasping a corner of the pillow, "The window downstairs is broken, I can't sleep well."

Not only that, the sound of wind and rain outside was like the howling of ghosts and wolves, which made people tremble.

The air was quiet for a few seconds.

The candlelight flickered in the room, and Lu Siheng's gaze stayed on her face for a long time.

"Okay." A hoarse voice.

He agreed.

Lin Qingran raised the corners of her lips slightly.

She knew that Lu Siheng was a kind and good person.

Lu Siheng moved to the side, made room, and lay down.

Lin Qingran walked over quietly, laid out her pillow, and lay down gently beside him.

The bed is big enough, and there is enough space between two people to squeeze in one more person.

"Good night." Lu Siheng said.

"Good night."

Lu Siheng had hardly slept for the whole day and night, and fell asleep in just a few minutes.

Lin Qingran opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling, listening to the gradually even breathing of the person next to her, and pursed her lips silently.

I originally thought that I could fall asleep as long as I lay in the same bed with Lu Siheng, but I didn’t expect that she was still very energetic.

When I hugged him during the power outage just now, the faint scent of agarwood made me linger...

Lin Qingran blinked, turned sideways, and moved closer to Lu Siheng.

Then the familiar scent got closer and closer to my nostrils.

She lay on her side, her forehead gently resting on Lu Siheng's shoulder, one hand carefully grasping the corner of his pajamas.

Lu Siheng seemed to be disturbed. He wrinkled his nose, turned over and faced her.

Lin Qingran's heart skipped a beat. She held her breath and looked at his closed eyes quietly. When she found that he showed no signs of waking up, she breathed a sigh of relief...

The next second, Lu Siheng unconsciously stretched out his arms, hugged her, and held her directly in his arms.

Lin Qingran's body stiffened at first, and then slowly relaxed.

She pressed her nose against his chest, her hands against his abs, and soon she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep as if she was being soothed and hypnotized.

-

The day after the storm was bright and sunny.

Lin Qingran, who was lying on the bed, moved, removed her hand from Lu Siheng's abdomen, and opened her eyes.

One point of sight will make things clear.

Lu Siheng's delicate face suddenly appeared enlarged in front of her.

Eyes facing each other.

Lin Qingran: “…”

Lu Siheng: “…”

Lin Qingran quickly retreated and broke free from Lu Siheng's arms.

"I'm sorry, Lu Siheng, my sleeping position is unstable. I didn't mean to get so close to you."

Lu Siheng looked at her quietly for a while, moved his arm which was a little sore from being pressed, and made a look of understanding, "It's okay."

"Um... Yesterday I... I was indeed frightened." Although Lin Qingran felt that her behavior was understandable, she still couldn't help but explain, "Thank you for letting me sleep with you."

Lu Siheng met her eyes calmly, "You're welcome. There are only two of us here, and we should take care of each other."

"You..." Lin Qingran stared at him for a long while, wanting to say something but stopping herself, and finally said, "Then I'll go back to my room first."

After saying that, he ran away in panic, hugging his pillow.

Lu Siheng nodded, and a gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Lin Qingran didn't know why she was so panicked. She walked too fast when she entered the room and almost fell.

She threw the pillow back onto her bed, thinking that it wouldn't be a big deal for the two of them to sleep in each other's arms.

It's a special situation.

Besides her, the only person in the room was Lu Siheng.

Who else could she sleep with except Lu Siheng?

Their behavior is completely reasonable.

right?
