This Damned Sweetness

Of course Cheng Lang did not think that Xu Xun was a very good kid.

Whether it be Xu Qiao's scheming or stalking, the purpose is not to coax Xu Xun, but to let him see that his sister is doing everything possible to keep him.

Because of the poor acting skills, this thought appears unexpectedly sincere. Such a cute sister who works so hard, who can leave her heart cruelly.

What Cheng Lang played was actually an emotional card.

He declined to comment on his girlfriend’s acting skills. After all, he couldn’t live with his conscience. He quietly took off a white towel from the towel rack, soaked it in hot water and wrung it out, and handed it to Xu Yu: "You Take off the sweater, scrub and scrub."

Xu Xie injured his left hand. Except for twisting the towel, it was difficult to use both hands, which did not affect other actions. After receiving the wet towel, he glanced at Cheng Lang, his eyes were probably asking: Are you not going out?

Cheng Lang actually intends to check him for other injuries.

After all, there are differences between men and women between siblings, and it is more convenient for brother-in-law to come to this kind of thing.

He raised his eyebrows and put his hands on the edge of the washstand: "Why, do you need me to avoid it?"

"of course."

The kid was too shrewd, and Cheng Lang said straightforwardly: "I have checked it now, and give your sister an explanation, and she won't check it again. With me, there is still a chance that the damage will be reduced and the minor injury will be reduced. It’s hard to pass the barrier when I get to her."

Xu Li frowned anxiously and took off his sweater with one hand.

Pieces of bruises, old and new bruises, and red scratches instantly came into view.

His complexion was pale, and these scars looked particularly dazzling.

Taking into account the child's self-esteem, Cheng Lang did not ask much about the origin of the scar, nodded and said, "I will have a full body check tomorrow."

Xu Yu took the hot towel and wiped off the tomato juice, frowned and raised his head, looking at him in the mirror: "Is this what you said is a small injury?"

"I just said'there is a chance.' If it's a simple skin injury, I won't intervene, but you may have hurt your muscles or bones in this case."

"I know that the injury didn't hurt me." Xu Yu threw down the towel.

Cheng Lang handed him a bathrobe: "Wear this first, go out and give you a clean dress."

Xu Li took a deep breath, put on his bathrobe and walked out.

"Before going out," Cheng Lang raised his hand and gently moved and locked the door, "Let's talk."

"My sister hasn't married you yet?" The implication is that he has nothing to talk with a person who is not relative.

"Because of this, I am the most suitable person to talk to you about this matter." Cheng Lang smiled, "The next proposal I want to make was not discussed with your sister, and of course, it was not approved by your parents. . It's just a deal between me and you."

Xu Li frowned: "What can I do with you?"

"If there is a supply and demand relationship, transactions can occur. Let's talk about each other's needs first. From your perspective, the current situation is-your sister and your father, as well as your mother, want to raise you, and you I don’t want to accept the support of either of them. You are an adult and you do have the right to reject them, but the result of rejection..."

Cheng Lang gave a gesture: "It's that you put the wind and food on the night, precarious, repeating such a dark life endlessly. You don't need to tell me that you don't care, you think this is good. No one thinks this is good, I know you What are you doing, you are punishing your mother by punishing yourself, because your mother cares about you."

Xu Yu didn't open his eyes, his eyes fell out of focus on the ground.

"Tell me, from my perspective, the current situation is-your self-exile behavior hurt my girlfriend, I don't want to see her worry about you, sad, sad, I hope you can do what she wants , To restore a stable life and return to school. Therefore, our supply and demand relationship has formed."

"Maybe your life now is the only way you can atone for your sins when there is no other way, but since I intervened in this matter, you have no other way. I can give you a way to change your mind. Way to correct the mistakes you want to correct."

Xu Li looked back, and his expression at this time was no longer as resisting as before.

"Want to hear it?" Cheng Lang was like a persuasive teacher.

"Talk about it," Xu Xun said.

"You don't want to be your mother's puppet, nor do you want to be a drag on your sister. That's very simple. I will take care of your life. You choose a city in China that you want to go to, and I will arrange an intermission for you. Pay the tuition fee and pay you a fixed monthly living expenses..."

Before Xu Xun's brows wrinkled again, Cheng Lang's conversation turned: "It's just that the money is not given to you in vain, but lent to you. In the future, you will need to repay me with the interest of the bank loan, and the repayment time After you have sufficient financial capacity."

Xu Xun said nothing for a while.

Cheng Lang gave him some time to think about it, and then continued: "As for your mother, I asked her about her situation. Although she is currently living in a relatively difficult situation, she can guarantee a basic life for the time being, and as far as I know, She is in touch with new...family these days."

Cheng Lang's statement was a little more subtle, but Xu Lie obviously understood, and his pupils shrank slightly.

"If your mother will have a new family in the future, of course you don’t have to worry about her life in the United States. If not, I will provide you with a certain amount of alimony before you have enough financial means. If she does meet her It's difficult. Of course, you also need to repay this money with interest." Cheng Lang smiled, "I heard your sister said that your grades are very good, I think my investment, it should not be lost."

Xu Li lowered his eyes.

"I've said everything that should be said, and leave the rest to you to consider." Cheng Lang backhanded the door lock and opened the door.

Outside the door, Xu Qiao quickly hid behind the corner of the wall as soon as the door lock was opened.

It's a pity that the two have already seen her.

She cleared her throat and walked out, chuckled, glanced at the weight scale at her feet, and pointed to the ground: "Then what, I weighed it, and you packed it up?"

The two of them did not object to this, and Qi Qi said "um".

Cheng Lang turned his head and looked at Xu Xun: "I'll get you clothes. Will you stay here for one night?"

This is to imply that Xu Xun thinks about it all night.

Xu Yu glanced at Xu Qiao.

An unconcealable joy burst out on her face, and her eyes were gleaming, as if shining.

"How many rooms are there?" Xu Xun's tone is still not too submissive, but at any rate it's not as stabbed as before.

Xu Qiao made a "Yeah" gesture: "Two rooms."

Xu Xun glanced at Cheng Lang.

Cheng Lang didn't seem to mean to open a second room, perhaps because he was afraid that he would run away in the middle of the night.

Xu Xun can promise that he will not run away, but he cannot ask Cheng Lang to spend more money.

So, after a brief look at each other--

"I sleep on the living room sofa..."

"I sleep with your sister..."

The two spoke in unison, and after speaking, their eyebrows were raised at the same time.

Xu Qiao coughed and looked at Cheng Lang and Xu Li.

Cheng Lang faced Xu Xun with a serious face: "This leather sofa is too hard for you to sleep."

"I have slept everywhere."

"But you are hurt now."

Xu Li frowned, he stopped talking.

Obviously, his concern was that he didn't know how far Xu Qiao and Cheng Lang had developed. If they hadn't reached that point originally, he certainly didn't want Cheng Lang to succeed to his sister because of his relationship.

Xu Qiao really didn’t want to discuss such an embarrassing topic in front of her brother. She had an idea, stood next to Xu Xun, took his arm, and said that the two brothers and sisters were on the united front, and then said to Cheng Lang: “Yes, I My brother hurt his hand and can't sleep on such a hard sofa, so you sleep."

"..."

Before Cheng Lang sighed, Xu Qiao quietly squeezed her eyebrows at him and squinted, suggesting something.

"Okay." Cheng Lang nodded after a moment of stagnation.

——

After the room allocation was completed, Cheng Lang "borrowed" the bathroom in Xu Xun’s bedroom to take a bath, and asked the hotel staff to make a bed on the sofa with a new quilt. After the siblings closed the bedroom door, they turned off the lights in the living room. , Went to the balcony to light a cigarette.

This hotel is close to the city center, and there are many tall buildings outside the window with brilliant lights, so the corner of the balcony is particularly deserted.

The time for a cigarette passed, and the phone in Cheng Lang's hand vibrated.

Xu Qiao sent a message: "My husband, hold on! Your little baby will come to rescue you in a while!"

Cheng Lang smiled silently in the darkness and replied, "Your brother may not fall asleep so early tonight."

Xu Qiao: "What do you do, do you want to sleep on the sofa all night?"

Cheng Lang: "I mean, if I can't wait for him to fall asleep anyway, it's better to come in now, he shouldn't come to the living room."

Xu Qiao did not reply. One minute later, Cheng Lang heard a very lightly pressed door opening.

As soon as she turned her head, she saw her waist as a thief, poking out half of her head from the crack in the door, and beckoning to him.

Cheng Lang stepped lightly, picked up the quilt on the sofa, and walked over.

Xu Qiao pulled the person into the bedroom, closed the door carefully, and sighed.

Cheng Lang threw the quilt on the bed, turned around and hugged her upright, raised his head to look at her, and said in a low voice, "What about cheating?"

Xu Qiao put his hands on his shoulders, and beat him like a grotesque: "I still don't want you to sleep on the sofa!"

Cheng Lang took her to the bed, sat down, and let her sit on his lap: "You can just tell your brother directly that you are willing to sleep with me. He is an adult. This is not something to be avoided."

"That's very embarrassing!" Xu Qiao looked at him, "And I'm not so willing to sleep with you!"

"Then I should go to sleep on the sofa?"

Xu Qiao plucked him with a knife.

Knowing that the fairy's heart is very kind, she still talks nonsense.

Cheng Lang smiled and stroked her cheek with his fingertips: "Thank you baby for taking it in."

"Before your baby takes you in, please report, how are you talking to my brother?"

The soundproofing of this hotel is also very good. She has just listened to the corner for a long time, and she only vaguely heard a few words.

Cheng Lang recounted the general content of the transaction.

Xu Qiao worries: "Will he not study well and work everywhere to pay you back? And if he really finds a place in the world, I can't take care of him."

"The key now is to take good care of his self-esteem and persuade him to return to China to study. After that, there will always be roundabout countermeasures. Whether he chooses to stay in Beicheng or not, I am sure to look after him. You can't push him too aggressively. He stays with us, otherwise he will be taken care of physically, and psychological problems will easily occur, you know?"

Xu Qiao nodded with her mouth flat, "Well then, it's up to you."

Cheng Lang gave her a kiss on her lips: "Okay, go to sleep, I won't toss you today, you should hurry up and sleep."

Xu Qiao climbed into the bed and lay down.

Cheng Lang went to the other side, laid another quilt, and lay in.

The bed was so big that even with two quilts, there was a distance between them.

"Then if you get sick at night, wake me up." Xu Qiao yawned and grabbed the small handkerchief she was carrying.

Cheng Lang just about to answer "no", when he saw her move, he turned to face her: "Do you really have to sleep with a handkerchief every night?"

"What is ‘really’, like you’ve heard of it before?" Xu Qiao blinked in confusion.

Although he had lived with Cheng Lang for a while, he had never shared the same bed, so he shouldn't have noticed that she would hold a handkerchief before going to bed.

"Listen to your ex boyfriend." Since she found the loophole, Cheng Lang did not deny it either.

That was before Xu Qiao officially met. On the day of the birthday banquet held by Xifuhui, Cheng Ye "tacked" an ex-girlfriend with him.

Xu Qiao reacted: "You brothers are talking bad about me behind your back!"

"I didn't. He did say a few words and was stopped by me."

Xu Qiao still looked unhappy: "I must be scolding you for my princess' illness!"

Cheng Lang smiled helplessly: "Ordinary people are like princesses. That is called princess disease. Isn't it normal for princesses to be like princesses?"

Xu Qiao's broken face suddenly regained its vitality, and she uttered a happy "Oh".

Cheng Lang pointed to the kerchief in her hand: "So why does the little princess have to hold her handkerchief to fall asleep?"

She rolled her eyes, not willing to say anything, and said vaguely: "It's related to my mother."

"Can't you let me know?" Cheng Lang continued to ask.

"It's not that I can't let you know, but I don't like to talk about sad things." Xu Qiao blinked at him.

"Then don't talk about it." Cheng Lang touched her forehead, raised his hand and turned off the bedside lamp, "Go to sleep."

Xu Qiao nodded and closed her eyes, because she was exhausted from running all the way, even if there was a time difference, she quickly fell asleep.

Cheng Lang looked at the dim ceiling very soberly, thinking about her last words before going to bed, until a long time later, there was a rustling movement next to him, Xu Qiao turned over and kicked away with one leg. He was thrown down on him.

He held back the silence, felt the place where her knee was rubbed for a while, moved his body slightly, avoiding that position, then leaned over to fumble for her quilt, intending to put her leg back.

Unexpectedly, this movement was "discovered" by Xu Qiao who was in the dream. She muttered something low in her mouth, and her whole person squeezed closer, got into his bed, and wrapped his body like an octopus.

"..." He finally understood why she would say that even if she was divided into two quilts, she was afraid that he would be killed by falling asleep and rolling into one bed.

Cheng Lang took a few deep breaths and gently lifted her to hold her hands.

"Hmm..." Xu Qiao murmured unhappily.

Cheng Lang stopped his movements, gave up the struggle, and clearly felt that his body was heating up violently after this sound.

She could indeed kill him, but not because it made him sick.
