Chapter 63 definitely needs to be eaten.
Chapter 63 definitely needs to be eaten.
As soon as Liu Xiaoli stepped out, Liu Yifei glared fiercely at Lu Yuan.
His eyes were like those of a cat with its fur standing on end, very fierce.
She stood in the living room, watching her mother's figure disappear, and then she completely changed.
The image of a well-behaved and gentle daughter that she had just presented to Liu Xiaoli instantly crumbled.
Instead, it exudes a fierce yet lazy aura.
Like a cat that has been woken up and is feeling grumpy, every cell in its body is radiating displeasure.
"So you're the one who loves to show off, huh?"
She lowered her voice, her tone full of dissatisfaction, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between her teeth.
"And you're making me get up so early?"
As Liu Yifei spoke, she slowly approached Lu Yuan.
She was wearing a cream-colored nightgown, her hair was messy and draped over her shoulders, and her face had that lazy yet dangerous expression that comes with being grumpy in the morning.
She leaned closer, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly, the meaning of which was crystal clear.
You'd better give me an explanation, or this isn't over.
Her eyelashes are very long, and when she squints at people like this, the corners of her eyes are slightly upturned.
She was clearly angry, yet she somehow exuded a seductive charm.
But Lu Yuan had no time to think about any of that; his attention was entirely on her two restless fingers.
Lu Yuan smiled awkwardly, his face full of guilt.
He knew that Xixi harbored a lot of resentment towards him, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Since it was my first time meeting Aunt Liu Xiaoli, I had to make a good impression.
People make a good first impression; if he stays in bed until the sun is high in the sky...
What would it look like if my aunt saw me being so lazy?
He dared not gamble.
"XiXi, let me explain."
He raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, his smile carrying a hint of ingratiation, looking just like a criminal suspect caught red-handed.
"Hmph... I won't listen." Liu Yifei pouted, crossed her arms, and turned her face away from him.
She only showed him a pouty profile, "Do you know my mom scolded me?"
"What did your aunt say about you?"
"Call me lazy!" Liu Yifei suddenly turned around, her voice rising several octaves.
She mimicked her mother's tone perfectly, repeating the story flawlessly.
"Look at Lu Yuan, he gets up early and is busy doing everything. You, on the other hand, are sleeping until the sun is high in the sky and you still won't get up."
"You're such a big kid, what kind of behavior is this?!"
After she finished learning, she rolled her eyes, looking extremely aggrieved, like a primary school student being criticized by the teacher in public.
"I wasn't even fully awake when I was woken up. You know exactly what time I went to bed last night, don't you?"
"I'm going to settle this score with you properly."
She spoke angrily, but Lu Yuan didn't find her fierce at all; instead, he found her extremely cute.
When she gets angry, she's like a little girl who can't get candy, with puffed-up cheeks and bright eyes.
Lu Yuan suddenly thought of the word "charming and innocent".
This word is perfectly suited to Liu Yifei right now.
"So what do you want?"
Lu Yuan asked with a smile, his tone carrying a indulgent gentleness, as if he were coaxing a tantrum-throwing child.
"What do I want?" Liu Yifei's eyes darted around.
A sinister smile slowly curved his lips, as if he were plotting some grand scheme. "I think..."
Before she could finish speaking, her hand had already reached out.
Lu Yuan felt a tightening around his waist as two fingers precisely pinched the soft flesh on his side.
The location was chosen so precisely; it was clearly premeditated.
Then she started spinning violently, and the pain was excruciating.
"Ouch...it hurts!" Lu Yuan gasped, his whole body shuddering as if he had been electrocuted.
His composure shattered, leaving only a pitiful expression, and even his voice changed tone.
"Xixi, let go! This time it really hurts."
He glanced down at Liu Yifei's hand; her slender, fair fingers were firmly gripping his waist with precise force.
He suddenly realized that after they became a couple, Liu Yifei didn't seem to be the same as before.
Those hidden traits, tempers, and emotions were no longer concealed; they were all openly revealed.
She would start playfully teasing him, pinching his waist until it left red marks, turning her face away from him, and then secretly glancing at him out of the corner of her eye to see if he was looking at her.
She is no longer the aloof and ethereal Liu Yifei; she has become a real Liu Yifei with a temper, little quirks, and the ability to act coquettishly towards herself.
He liked her just the way she was; he liked her terribly.
Seeing his pleading expression, Liu Yifei's eyes and brows were filled with smugness.
Her eyes curved into crescent shapes, and the corners of her mouth turned up high. She exuded a sense of satisfaction, like a cat that had successfully stolen a fish.
She knew she couldn't go too far, so she pinched him a couple of times, then let go, took a step back, and tilted her head to look at him.
The tone was interrogative: "Do you still want to perform?"
"Yes." Lu Yuan rubbed his lower back and answered without thinking.
What?
Liu Yifei thought she had misheard.
She stared at Lu Yuan with wide eyes, her face full of disbelief.
Has this guy lost his mind? How dare he talk back to me?
"What did you say?" She raised her fingers again, making a pinching motion with two fingers.
It made a threatening movement in the air, its eyes full of warning, "Say that again!"
Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw her fierce expression.
He reached out and grasped her hand, which was making a threatening gesture. Liu Yifei instinctively tried to pull away, but he held it firmly.
He looked down at the hand and said earnestly, "Of course I have to perform."
"We can only get married if my aunt agrees. How can she trust me with her daughter if I don't make a good impression on her?"
The air fell silent for a moment.
Liu Yifei's face turned red at a visible speed, burning from the base of her neck all the way to the tips of her ears.
She looked exceptionally shy and charming, just like a ripe peach.
Her earlobes were so red they were almost transparent, and the skin on her neck had a thin layer of pink, which even tinged her collarbone with color.
She looked absolutely stunning, leaving Lu Yuan completely mesmerized. He thought she was incredibly beautiful!
Liu Yifei opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something to salvage the situation.
In the end, she could only lower her eyes and avoid Lu Yuan's gaze.
Her voice was low and soft, as if squeezed from her throat, carrying an unconscious coquettish tone: "Who...who wants to marry you?"
There was no hint of interrogation in her tone; it was clearly just her being coquettish.
Looking at her shy expression, Lu Yuan couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
He felt like a thief who had stumbled upon some precious scene, and he couldn't hide his elation.
It will come out of the eyes.
"Hehe...it's only a matter of time."
He chuckled, tightened his grip on her hand, and gently rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb.
He's already talking about marriage now that the two of them have only just started dating; that's a bit too fast.
But he only said that to tease Xixi.
Logically speaking, Liu Yifei shouldn't blush so easily at her age.
Having navigated the entertainment industry for so many years, I've dealt with all sorts of situations; by all accounts, I should be invulnerable by now.
She should know better than anyone the flirtatious words, the ambiguous probing, and the unspoken games between adults.
But she would repeatedly show such a shy and bashful demeanor right in front of Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan found this novel and interesting.
But he knew that this wasn't some kind of girlish infatuation or being blinded by love.
The reason Liu Yifei is like this is because she has never been in a relationship before.
So when she truly falls in love with someone for the first time, no matter how mature and composed she appears on the surface, or how adept she is at handling things, she will not give up.
Those clumsy, awkward, and helpless things deep down will uncontrollably emerge.
For example, blushing, or dodging.
These were not deliberately performed.
These things cannot be hidden.
"Hmph... I'm ignoring you."
"I'm still a little sleepy. I'll take a nap first. You can play by yourself, or you can go back to sleep."
Last night, the two confirmed their relationship. After returning home, they sat on the sofa and talked for a very long time.
From how the two people fell in love to where they want to travel in the future.
The words that had been hidden in their hearts for so long were spoken, and they talked until late into the night.
So when she was woken up so early this morning, she was indeed a bit grumpy.
Sweet words can wait, tender moments can wait, but sleep must be taken now.
This is a matter of priority; she was so sleepy her eyelids were drooping.
Lu Yuan nodded; he was actually feeling a bit sleepy too.
I got up early to prepare breakfast, frying eggs, cooking porridge, and cutting fruit.
Although I did manage to impress Aunt Liu Xiaoli, the physical exhaustion was real and couldn't be faked out by willpower alone.
Now that Xixi said she wanted to catch up on her sleep, he naturally had no objections.
"Okay, I'll go back to my room and rest for a bit."
"I thought some people weren't sleepy."
Liu Yifei's voice was languid, with a long, drawn-out tone, carrying a sarcastic tone that made people both angry and amused.
She was still a little annoyed that Lu Yuan got up so early in the morning just to make a good impression on her mother.
He likes to show off, so he tried to do so in front of his mom first thing in the morning, which resulted in her scolding him.
It really is an eye-catching bag.
Getting yourself caught up in the early morning is a different story.
She was annoyed with Lu Yuan for not going to bed so late last night and being forcibly woken up again today.
Of course, now that I've vented, the annoyance is gone.
"I'm sleepy, but it's still worth it to be able to perform well in front of Auntie. It's all for you."
Upon hearing his words, Liu Yifei let out a soft "humph" through her nose.
However, she felt a sweet warmth in her heart, knowing that Lu Yuan was trying to please her mother in order to impress her.
It was all because of her; she was just putting on an act.
"I'm not going to talk anymore, I'm just too sleepy."
Liu Yifei waved her hand and slowly walked upstairs, preparing to return to her bedroom to catch up on sleep.
Lu Yuan also returned to the guest room, intending to catch up on some sleep.
He was genuinely feeling a little sleepy, and his head felt a bit heavy, because he hadn't slept well.
The thought of becoming Liu Yifei's boyfriend brought a smile to his face.
He slowly drifted off to sleep, the smile on his lips not fading at all.
When the three roommates got up and saw that Lu Yuan hadn't returned yet, they couldn't help but start joking around.
"Old Lu should eat now," Huang Daoji said with a smile.
"We definitely have to eat it," Wang Xing nodded.
Chen Keyu sighed, "I really envy Lao Lu. He has achieved success in both his career and love life."
"6:30" has brought them a fortune, and it will likely bring them even more in the future.
So Lu Yuan has already succeeded in his career, and the fact that his love life didn't return that night proves everything.
It was a complete success in both career and wealth.
This made all three of them a little envious.
"Hehe... I wonder if Sister Fei will listen to that kid and introduce me to someone."
Huang Daoji started daydreaming; he knew that Lu Yuan and he got along well.
If he insisted that Fei Jie introduce someone to him, he would definitely help him.
But he didn't know that Sister Fei was Liu Yifei. If he had known it was Liu Yifei, he definitely wouldn't have said that.
Because Liu Yifei knows a lot of people, mostly big stars.
He has no control over the situation now, but he is still self-aware.
He won't feel like he can seize the opportunity until he becomes a great director someday.
"Just you wait, wait for your multi-hundred-pound rich woman," Wang Xing couldn't help but complain.
Then the three of them started discussing Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan felt he had a very good sleep, and no one bothered him.
He didn't know how much time had passed when he felt a slight itch on the tip of his nose and felt like he was going to sneeze.
I was awakened by this feeling, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Liu Yifei.
"Hahaha...you lazy pig, you're finally awake?"
Liu Yifei laughed happily when she saw that her prank had succeeded.
"What are you doing...?"
"Get up quickly, I'm so bored by myself!" she urged with a smile.
After waking up alone, Liu Yifei sat in the living room for a while.
I feel a little bit of longing for Lu Yuan, and also a little bit bored.
So they quietly went to Lu Yuan's guest room and found that he hadn't locked it.
So they went into the room and saw him sleeping soundly, and then started playing pranks.
She scratched her head and blew air into Lu Yuan's nose, trying to see when she would wake him up.
If the nose doesn't work, then try somewhere else.
Seeing that he reacted even slightly, she continued her prank.
As expected, Lu Yuan woke up after her prank.
Lu Yuan took a nap and it was almost time for him to wake up.
However, he felt a little annoyed by Xixi's antics, and with a mischievous grin, he looked at her.
He pulled Xixi into his arms in an instant.
"what……"
Liu Yifei exclaimed in surprise, never expecting Lu Yuan to be so bold.
Now she was lying on top of Lu Yuan, their eyes meeting.
