Lu Sui rested his hand on his eyelids, his pajama sleeves slipped down, revealing a section of his slender, dazzlingly white wrist bone. His bent fingers were lightly pink. From this angle, Shen Qinghuai could see him breathing heavily. The room lights were off, with only a faint moonlight coming through the window illuminating the surroundings.

"Don't touch me." Lu Sui wouldn't let Shen Qinghuai touch his calves; his hands were too hot.

Shen Qinghuai withdrew his arm, placing his hands on either side of Lu Sui's waist. "Did you hurt him, or what?"

Why do you keep asking?

Lu Sui said impatiently, "Get out!"

He was still covering his eyes with the back of his hand when he said this.

The second time he was criticized in this situation, Shen Qinghuai asked, "What did you do wrong?"

After he finished showering, he watched the video three times and followed the instructions strictly, but Lu Sui still told him to get lost. This was the first time last night and the second time tonight, and now his self-esteem was somewhat defeated.

In the end, she didn't say anything. She got off Lu Sui's bed, watched him stagger to the bathroom, changed her three-piece suit, and carried it back to the guest room.

Shen Qinghuai felt that this matter really needed to be discussed properly and couldn't be left unresolved. So he returned to Lu Sui's room, where Lu Sui was curled up in bed. He half-squatted beside the bed and asked, "What was wrong just now?"

Seeing Shen Qinghuai's cold, businesslike demeanor, as if he were discussing something with a client, Lu Sui kicked him, saying, "Nothing about him is right."

"..." is not right anywhere?

Shen Qinghuai fell into self-doubt.

He pursed his lips and asked, "You disagree?"

Lu Sui buried her face in the blanket, and after a while, she softly murmured, "Mmm."

"Then tomorrow night—"

"continue."

"..."

"..."

The next day, Shen Qinghuai made breakfast and knocked on the master bedroom door. It wasn't locked, so he went in. Standing in the doorway, he saw the bedside lamp was on. Lu Sui seemed to have just woken up; her eyes were still sleepy, her raven-white eyelashes drooping. Hearing the noise, she looked up at Shen Qinghuai, as if still half-asleep, wondering why he was there. She called out, "Shen Qinghuai…"

Hearing him call his name, Shen Qinghuai hesitated for a moment but still took a few steps forward. "You should get up."

Otherwise we'll be late.

Lu Sui pulled back the covers, revealing her soft, sleeping face. She slightly raised her pale face before burying herself back under the covers. "Get out."

Shen Qinghuai closed the door, took out the dried clothes to air them out for a while, and went to sweep the floor. He couldn't find a mop, but he saw a robot vacuum cleaner. After reading the precautions, he turned it on according to the steps posted on it.

There was an extra flower petal in the trash can.

Shen Qinghuai came out of the room and glanced at Lu Sui.

He frowned, puzzled.

Lu Sui threw four flower petals in total. Three were thrown in the car. When was the fourth petal thrown? These four petals represent Lu Sui...

Unhappy? Did he offend Lu Sui?

What did they do to offend Lu Sui?

Shen Qinghuai walked towards Lu Sui with a comb in hand. Thinking of the dating tutorial he had watched on his phone the night before, he cupped Lu Sui's face, bent down, and kissed his lips. He went to Lu Sui's room to find a hair tie, but when he came out, Lu Sui blocked him against the wall.

"Why did you kiss me?"

"……Feel sorry."

Can't we kiss? Mobile phone tutorials are misleading.

"Why did you kiss me today?"

Lu Sui asked again, "Why did you kiss me today?"

When asked three questions, Shen Qinghuai answered honestly, "This is my first time being someone's boyfriend and my first time in a relationship. There are many things I don't know how to do. I watched some tutorials on my phone last night."

Lu Suiyu, who was about to approach, changed his step to back, sneering, "Who sent you the tutorial? What did you learn?"

"I searched for it myself and learned it... Kiss more every day to increase intimacy, hug each other, and take care of each other's feelings," Shen Qinghuai said. Seeing Lu Sui turn his head to reveal the redness behind his ear, he paused for two seconds, walked towards him, and continued, "You need to communicate with each other."

Lu Sui clearly understood that the last sentence was directed at him. He walked to the table with a cold expression, picked at a rose petal, but before he could tear it off, Shen Qinghuai gently grabbed his wrist and said, "It's about to die."

"What you bought for me is mine, it's mine, it's mine, it's none of your business if I die." Lu Sui tore off a petal, intending to throw it in the trash can, but Shen Qinghuai wouldn't let go. He said coldly, "You fucking want to die too? Let go!"

"Why did you tear off this petal?" Shen Qinghuai said. "You need to communicate with me."

"Why should I communicate with you!" Lu Sui seemed to be angry, and a faint red appeared at the corners of her eyes.

Shen Qinghuai didn't like him, so he was just putting himself off, trying to make himself feel better by losing his temper less.

Why should he be the one to state his needs first and be at a disadvantage? Why is Shen Qinghuai so calm even when he's being kissed, as if he's dealing with an immature child and tolerating his unreasonable behavior?

Lu Sui grabbed the vase and smashed it on the ground. The vase shattered, but the tiles didn't crack. All the water inside spilled out, and the roses were soaked in the water. Two petals were broken off, and some places were scratched and cracked by the broken porcelain shards, leaking juice and becoming very ugly.

"Shen Qinghuai, you're the one who has no heart."

He's already given himself to Shen Qinghuai, so why doesn't he still show any affection for him?

What's being said on the phone is incorrect; forcing love like that won't lead to liking.

That boy was wrong too; I don't agree at all.

"You'll never leave me in this lifetime. If you mess with me again, I'll drag you down with me."

Shen Qinghuai was truly helpless. Lu Sui wouldn't communicate with him, and would get angry if he said even one more word. "Don't go crazy—"

"Going crazy... Ha, yeah, I'm going crazy. If I dare to hit someone with my car while learning from X, I dare to hit your grandma with my car, so she'll end up like that person, without legs and crawling on the ground!"

Shen Qinghuai's chest heaved with anger at his words. He calmed himself down and said, "Lu Sui, I'm talking to you properly—"

"Your tone is completely off!"

Is this the tone you use when you talk to Wen Chengyu?

Do you speak to your mother and grandmother in this tone?

You are criticizing me.

Shen Qinghuai is annoying.

Lu Sui didn't want to be in the same space as him, so he went back to his bedroom. By the time Shen Qinghuai had cleaned up the living room, Lu Sui had already smoked three cigarettes. The smell of smoke from the bedroom drifted into the living room. Shen Qinghuai came in, and Lu Sui went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. Shen Qinghuai waited for him outside. As soon as he got close, Lu Sui walked around him to find socks to wear in the drawer.

Lu Sui could do these little things. He wasn't stupid. He would put on shoes and socks when his feet were cold, just like turning on the air conditioner when he felt cold. It wasn't that Chen Jingmo said he didn't know how to take care of himself since he was always barefoot. But when Chen Jingmo was chasing after him and making him put on shoes, his heart felt a little better. When Shen Qinghuai put shoes on for him, it was a different feeling.

"I'll help you." Shen Qinghuai reached out, but Lu Sui dodged. After getting dressed, he went to the balcony. It wasn't raining today, and the sun was out. He turned his back to the balcony and let the sun shine on his back and lower back.

Shen Qinghuai walked over, and Lu Sui frowned, grabbing a cushion and throwing it at him.

Since the argument started, Lu Sui hasn't said a word.

Now he says, "Stay away from me."

But Shen Qinghuai felt that they couldn't stay too far away.
