"Ningning?"

Lu Jingci's footsteps sounded closer; he was already standing at the door.

With a "click," he reached out to turn the doorknob.

The moment the door was turned open, Xu Wuning practically leaped off the bed and pounced on him.

Xu Wuning felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and all the blood in her body rushed to her head.

She completely blocked his way.

Just a second before Lu Jingci's gaze was about to pass over her shoulder and land on the lit screen behind her.

She reached out and slammed the door shut behind her, then stood on tiptoe and covered his ears tightly with both hands.

Lu Jingci's eyes widened in shock: !

He was stunned when he saw Ningning suddenly flying towards him. What was going on? What happened?

Xu Wuning didn't have time to speak; she used all her strength to cover Lu Jingci's ears with both hands.

I bumped him with my shoulder and pushed him toward the living room.

Lu Jingci staggered backward as she rammed into him with such force, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment, as he moved further and further away from the bedroom.

He looked at Xu Wuning in front of him; her almond-shaped eyes were red, and her lips were glistening with tears.

What's wrong with Ningning? What were you doing inside just now?

Ningning is so strange.

He glanced again in the direction of the bedroom.

Seeing that he turned his head to look, Xu Wuning immediately tiptoed and turned his head back, increasing the force in her hands.

The two were standing too close. Lu Jingci could smell her fragrance. He blinked and his Adam's apple bobbed.

What exactly happened?

What's in the bedroom?

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, each one more outrageous than the last.

Why is Ningning so panicked? Why did she cover his ears?

Could it be... that there's someone else in the house?

Thinking of this, Lu Jingci's eyes darkened.

Xu Wuning pushed him back to the sofa in the living room, finally far enough away from the bedroom. With a door and half a corridor in between, even if the TV was on, the sound wouldn't reach them.

But because she almost got caught, she panicked and wanted to quickly pull Lu Jingci away. In that moment, she didn't notice and bumped her heel on the sofa leg.

He lost his balance and fell backward.

"Be careful!"

Lu Jingci subconsciously reached out to hug her.

The world spun around.

She fell backwards onto the sofa, and Lu Jingci followed suit, pressing down on her.

The two of them were close together, one above the other, their warm breaths brushing against her. She could feel his heart pounding against her chest.

Lu Jingci looked down at her, his bewilderment and confusion almost overflowing.

His lips moved as if he were about to ask something, but his brows were full of confusion, as if he didn't understand her actions just now.

Xu Wuning couldn't wait for him to speak.

She took the initiative and struck first.

She shoved him against the chest, pushed him away, sat up, and pointed at his nose.

Her voice was low and cold, "Lu Jingci, what are you trying to do, sneaking into my house in the middle of the night like this?"

She raised her chin, feigning righteousness, and said, "Are you trying to seduce me again? Let me tell you, don't even dream about it."

Lu Jingci stared at her flushed cheeks, his gaze sliding from the tips of her reddened ears to her trembling eyelashes. He remained silent for a long time before standing up properly and placing his hands obediently on his knees.

"Absolutely not," he shook his head, sounding aggrieved. "I just came over late at night to bring you some late-night snacks because I was worried you'd be hungry."

He pointed to the late-night snacks on the coffee table, his eyelashes fluttering. "These are late-night snacks from the place you said you wanted to eat at last time. I went around three streets to buy them myself."

Xu Wuning kept an eye on the bedroom, even though she couldn't hear anything from so far away, she was still worried.

She wanted to get rid of him: "I received the late-night snack. It's too late, you should leave now."

She pointed towards the door, her intention to shoo them away was obvious.

Lu Jingci had already noticed her odd behavior. He looked in the direction she was pointing, his eyes darted around slightly, and he glanced subtly towards the bedroom.

Ningning kept looking at the bedroom, which piqued his curiosity.

What could be in the bedroom that made Ningning so nervous?

Lu Jingci lowered his eyes, his eyelashes concealing the deep thought that flashed across his eyes.

Could it be that Ningning is really keeping another young man? Younger and more handsome than him? That's impossible, right?

Thinking of this, Lu Jingci's face turned deathly pale.

He had to find a way to see the things Ningning wouldn't let him see.

But he couldn't force his way in; he knew Ningning's temper all too well and couldn't afford to clash with her head-on.

He had to put her on guard first, to make her think that he was really gone.

When Lu Jingci raised his head again, his face was now adorned with a simple and innocent smile. "Okay, then I'm leaving."

He stood up and gently instructed, "Ningning, goodnight. After you finish your late-night snack, go to bed early too. Don't stay up late; it's bad for your health."

I will continue to pursue you tomorrow.

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the door, leaving.

Xu Wuning sat on the sofa, staring at his back until he closed the door and listened to his footsteps fading into the distance.

But she didn't move immediately.

She sat for three minutes, listening intently to what was happening outside.

Lu Jingci really left? Was he really so well-behaved tonight? Didn't he seduce her? Didn't he try to seduce her with his body?

Xu Wuning was still a little suspicious. She got up from the sofa, ran to the door, and tiptoed to look at the cat.

The courtyard was empty, the motion-activated lights were off, and it was pitch black.

He really left.

After confirming the news, Xu Wuning breathed a sigh of relief and, without even having a late-night snack, turned around and ran to her bedroom.

She needed to quickly turn off the TV, clear the history, and get everything sorted out.

She started searching for the remote control, wanting to quickly turn off those inappropriate programs and pretend that nothing had happened.

She searched for several minutes before finally finding the remote control hidden in the crack of the bed.

She was overjoyed and grabbed it to take it out.

Just as the remote control peeked out from under the bed, before her fingers could even press any button...

Suddenly, the bedroom door was pushed open.

Lu Jing left but returned and came in.

He had one hand on the doorknob and the other in his pocket, leaning casually against the door frame.

His voice came from the doorway, slightly out of breath from walking back, "Ningning, I came back to ask what you want to eat tomorrow night, I'll buy it for you..."

In an instant, Xu Wuning's pupils trembled violently, her expression changed, and her whole body turned bright red.

Her hand trembled; she was too nervous. She wanted to turn off the video, but accidentally pressed a button on the remote control.

That's not the close button.

It's volume up.

As Lu Jingci finished speaking, the loud video sound from the television echoed throughout the bedroom, reaching Lu Jingci's ears even more clearly.

"Madam, why are you hiding? Your husband hasn't woken up yet."

Then came a long, sticky sound, accompanied by soft, panting breaths.

"Uh-huh..."

The video footage was clearly visible to Lu Jingci.

Xu Wuning felt that her soul had already drifted out of the room; she was dead, she was dead.

She saw herself kneeling on the ground, her trembling hands clutching the remote control, completely red.

She saw Lu Jingci standing at the door, his smile gradually freezing, his eyebrows slowly rising.

Eyes facing each other.

In the stillness of the night, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

The video in the bedroom was still playing dutifully. The woman in the video was biting her lip, her eyes filled with desire, looking like she had been badly bullied.

It took Lu Jingci a long time to come back to his senses, and he shifted his gaze from the TV screen to Xu Wuning's face.

He slowly pulled his hand out of his pocket, crossed his arms over his chest, and raised his chin slightly.

His voice shifted from shock to a complex, meaningful exclamation: "Tsk."

"I really didn't expect you to be so entertaining when you're home alone..."
