Fatal Game Syndrome

"Why are you injured again?"

Seeing Ling Jiushi holding Ruan Lanzhu's arm, Lu Yanxue, who was preparing dinner in the kitchen, hurried over with wet hands.

"It's not a big deal, baby. I just dodged it for a moment, so the wound is just scary to look at."

Ruan Lanzhu sat down on the sofa in the living room and watched Ling Jiushi bring the medicine box and carefully cut the fabric of the clothes at the wound with scissors. His brows were tightly furrowed during the whole process.

"You're still okay? If it got any deeper you'd need stitches!"

Ling Jiushi rolled his eyes at him, but his hands moved much lighter, which made Ruan Lanzhu chuckle.

"are you hungry?"

After Ling Jiushi bandaged his wound, he stood up and tidied the things on the table. He looked at the man who was looking up at him.

"Hungry!"

"I'll go see if Sister Lu has prepared dinner. If not, I'll cook you a bowl of noodles?"

"Ok!"

The boss nodded obediently, leaving Cheng Qianli and Tan Zaozao beside him dumbfounded. Is this still the person they know?

"Lingling, what were you like as a child?"

Back in the room, Ruan Lanzhu lay on the bed looking at the ceiling, holding Ling Jiushi in his arms. He wanted to know more about Ling Jiushi.

"When you were a kid?"

Ling Jiushi's eyes gradually lost focus. "All I can remember are my parents' endless quarrels and my friends' ridicule. It seems a bit miserable when I think about it."

Ruan Lanzhu held his hand tightly, lowered her head and pecked him lightly on the forehead, "It doesn't matter, they are just passers-by in your life."

"Ok!"

"So is there anything you want to do now?"

As there was still some time before the next door, Ruan Lanzhu wanted to accompany him to do something he had wanted to do but had never done.

"Yes, I have!"

Ling Jiushi became interested and looked up at Ruan Lanzhu's sparkling eyes. "I wanted to travel, but I've been thinking about it for a long time and never had the chance. Either I don't have time or I don't have anyone to go with me."

Ruan Lanzhu looked at him silently for a long time without saying anything, just rubbed his head.

"I'll accompany you!"

Ling Jiushi raised his head from his neck and widened his eyes, "Really?"

"Of course!"

Isn't it just traveling? Any time and any place, that's not a problem.

"Let me make it clear first, it can't be like last time!"

Ling Jiushi stared into his eyes and emphasized that he was drowsy just now, but now he was full of energy.

"......certainly!"

The last time he did that was mainly because it was his first time tasting it, so he couldn’t help but control himself. But not now, because he is a man who has experienced many battles!

"Then rest for two days and then we'll set off?"

"it is good!"

Ling Jiu excitedly picked up his phone and searched for the places he wanted to go to show Ruan Lanzhu. As expected of a child who grew up in the inland, the places he wanted to go were basically by the sea.

"Look! If you live in a small courtyard like this for a while, it will definitely be very comfortable!"

Ruan Lanzhu took the phone and looked at it carefully. It was a small courtyard facing the sea. The flowers planted in the courtyard climbed up the wall and sticked out of the wall. It looked really beautiful.

Just down the road in front of the courtyard is the beach. The boundless sea is set against the blue sky, and just looking at the pictures is refreshing.

"So we're going here?"

"Great! This is the place I want to go most right now!"

After resting for two days, the two went out under the resentful eyes of Cheng Qianli and Tan Zaozao.

“I really want to go out and play!”

Cheng Qianli looked at his brother eagerly. He couldn't go anywhere now and could only stay in the Obsidian Villa. He was about to sprout.

"When you can really go out, I will take you wherever you want to go!"

Cheng Yixie comforted him in a rare good-tempered manner. Cheng Qianli had indeed stayed at home for a long time, which was rare given his personality.

"Here, the key!"

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Ruan Lanzhu took out a card from her bag and handed it to Ling Jiushi. This was the door opening card given to them by the driver who had just brought them here.

"We can come and live here anytime in the future, because I bought the courtyard."

Ling Jiushi's hand that was about to open the door stopped in the air, and he looked at Ruan Lanzhu in amazement.

This guy is using his money ability again!

"Where did you get the money? Didn't you ask me for it?"

Ruan Lanzhu's calm expression gradually cracked. Who could have thought that there would be a time when he would be questioned about spending money?

“It’s not expensive!”

Ruan Lanzhu muttered something, took the card from him, opened the door, and walked inside with the luggage. Ling Jiushi approached curiously, "You're not hiding any private money, are you?"

Private money?

Ruan Lanzhu paused, turned around and looked at Ling Jiushi speechlessly. Did he still need to hide his private money? What a distrustful statement!

"Your boyfriend makes money easily!"

Ling Jiushi did not refute, this is true!

"We also have two cars that we just bought. It will be more convenient for us to live here in the future."

Ling Jiushi nodded. This place is far from the city, and it would be much more convenient if he had a car. "But you can't do this in the future. There are some places where we can just go and have fun. There is no need to buy a house or a car!"

"Even if you have money, it won't work!"

Ruan Lanzhu, who had just opened his mouth to say that he was rich, swallowed his words back into his stomach. His wife was right, and he would listen to his wife!

After entering the yard, Ling Jiushi did not rush into the house, but wandered around the yard. He had thought before that the pictures on the Internet were beautified, but he did not expect that the real appearance was more beautiful than the pictures, especially those blooming flowers, which seemed to be glowing in the sun.

"It's almost noon, let's go out for lunch?"

There are actually many ingredients already prepared in the refrigerator, but you can still try the local flavors first.

"Then let's have a seafood feast today!"

Ling Jiushi waved his hand proudly, "I'll pay!"

Ruan Lanzhu glanced at him and said, "Then...thank you?"

After coming out, the two did not go to any high-end restaurant, but went to a nearby market. However, it must be said that the food here is inexpensive and of high quality, and the taste is also very good. At least Ling Jiushi was very satisfied.

"When Qianli and the others can come out, I will definitely bring them here to have a taste!"

After finishing their meal, in the yard in early summer, the two of them lay on the lounge chairs under the tree with their eyes closed comfortably. The breeze brushing against their faces was very comfortable. The sound of cicadas chirping accompanied by the sound of waves gently lapping against the sea made people feel particularly peaceful in their hearts.

Ruan Lanzhu replied softly, "Okay!"

"Li Dongyuan must be very happy to have Zhuang Rujiao accompany him every day!"

"That's right!"

Ruan Lanzhu agreed with this very much. After they got out, the two of them got together. They were inseparable every day, even closer than he and Ling Jiushi.

"And Zaozao, she loves acting so much, and now she can only stay at home, I guess it must be hard for her!"

"Don't worry, there will still be a chance when she comes out!"
