Chapter 44 - "Lu Lixing! You rogue!!!" (4)

The second time the phone vibrated, Ji Qingqing almost couldn't open her eyes. Blurry with sleep, she tapped the phone to stop the vibration. Her hand was still around the phone when her eyes closed again.

Just when Lu Lixing thought she had fallen back asleep, Ji Qingqing forced herself to open her eyes. She lightly slapped her face a few times to wake herself up. Then, she groggily sat up and went over to check Lu Lixing's breathing and temperature. She laid down on his chest to listen to his heartbeat. After confirming that everything was still okay, she went back to sleep without worries.

The silvery moonlight had spilled through the apricot-colored curtains, and there was a silvery spot on the ground below the window.

Lu Lixing opened his eyes and looked at Ji Qingqing using the faint moonlight. He turned to his side, propped his body up with his head resting on his hand, and stared at her.

It wasn't clear what emotions he was feeling.

A while later, he stretched his hand out, took the phone from underneath Ji Qingqing's pillow, and turned off the remaining five alarms.

Early next morning, there was the multicolored rays from the sunrise on the horizon. After Aunty Pei prepared breakfast, she brought the food upstairs to Lu Lixing's room. When she pushed opened the door, she saw that the room was empty.

“Young Master?” Aunty Pei pushed open the bathroom door, but he wasn't there either.

Alarmed, Aunty Pei sought out other servants and had them look for Lu Lixing with her. They searched through the entire villa, but they didn't find Lu Lixing.

Where could a sickly person have wandered off to so early in the morning?

Aunty Pei was very anxious, and she didn't dare to hide Lu Lixing's disappearance. She directly went to Elder Lu and told him.

When Elder Lu heard this news, he wasn't as anxious as Aunty Pei. He told Aunty Pei to calm down first. Lu Lixing was a sensible person. With his current physical condition, he wouldn't have recklessly gone off somewhere.

Elder Lu asked, "Have you looked everywhere?"

Aunty Pei thought it over and answered, "We haven't looked in Second Young Master's room or Young Madam's room."

"Go look there."

Aunty Pei led a group of servants to Lu Liting's room. Not only was Lu Lixing missing, Lu Liting was also gone.

"He's always out!" Seeing the empty room, Elder Lu was very displeased.

His older brother was terribly sick, and yet, Lu Liting never bothered to stay at home.

Aunty Pei didn't dare to take Lu Liting's side. She only smiled and said, "Elder Lu, it's more important to find Young Master."

Elder Lu turned and left Lu Liting's room.

When they arrived at Ji Qingqing's room, Aunty Pei knocked on the door. When Ji Qingqing didn't come to open the door, Aunty Pei mumbled to herself that this was strange.

Ji Qingqing normally woke up at 7AM, and it was already 8 AM now. Why wasn't there any sound coming from her room?

Aunty Pei knocked on the door again. There was still no response.

She glanced at Elder Lu. Aunty Pei waited until Elder Lu had turned around, then she opened the door.

"This... Young Master... Young Madam..." Aunty Pei was flabbergasted by what she saw.

On the 1.8 meter wide bed, the blanket had been kicked to a corner of the bed. Most of the blanket was hanging off the bed. Ji Qingqing was clinging to Lu Lixing like she was an octopus. She had one leg over Lu Lixing's thigh, and her hands were around his waist. Her head was resting on his shoulder. She was embracing almost his entire body.

Lu Lixing's pajama top had risen up. His strong abdominal muscles were exposed, and there was a slender, pale arm on top of his waist.

The two people were deeply asleep and hadn't stirred at all from the previous knocking.

Hearing someone's voice, Lu Lixing woke up first.

The first thing he saw was a pale arm. Messy, but soft hair was covering half of his face. After he pushed the hair covering his face away, he blearily turned toward the direction of the voice. He saw a flabbergasted Aunty Pei as well as Elder Lu, who was looking delighted.

"Why is it so noisy..." Ji Qingqing groggily woke up. Her brow was furrowed, and she was grumpy from having been woken up. When she opened her eyes a crack and slowly looked up, she saw a large expanse of naked skin, a strong and powerful hand, a thick arm, as well as... Lu Lixing's face suddenly came into her line of sight.

"Lu Lixing! You rogue!!!”

Lu Lixing: ???
