Seeing this, Gu Ran simply took the whole plate and started eating by herself.
Liu Miaomiao then realized that Gu Ran's intention was actually to steal food from her.
How old are you? Fighting for food like this, how childish!
She deliberately provoked him, saying, "No wonder Su Xiaoqiang doesn't forgive you!"
Gu Ran got angry just thinking about it: "It's all because of you! You slept with my woman last night!"
Liu Miaomiao stared with her adorable big eyes, somewhat bewildered: "You two are arguing because of this? But I'm not a lesbian, and so what if I like sleeping with your woman!"
Gu Ran didn't know how to explain what happened that morning, so he shooed her away: "Get off my bed now, I want to sleep! Go away!"
Liu Miaomiao was kicked off the sofa and had nowhere to vent her anger, so she had no choice but to knock on Su Xiaoqiang's bedroom door.
Su Xiaoqiang opened the bedroom door, and Liu Miaomiao rushed in, plopped down on her bed, and said, "Xiaoqiang, I'm going to sleep with you tonight, to make your boyfriend furious!"
"Get out!" Su Xiaoqiang slapped Liu Miaomiao's soft bottom. "I'm sleeping by myself tonight. Go back to your room!"
"Ah!" Liu Miaomiao clutched her bottom. "Was that really necessary?"
She grumbled as Su Xiaoqiang kicked her out of the room, but she noticed that the wall in Su Xiaoqiang's room that was closest to the living room was a little damp.
Is it damp again?
Chapter 345 Sleeping with You
Su Xiaoqiang chased Liu Miaomiao, that little brat, out of the bedroom and then closed the door.
Then, she placed a water glass against the wall near the living room and continued listening to the sounds outside.
The water stains on the wall that Liu Miaomiao saw were left by Su Xiaoqiang when he first pressed the rim of his cup against the wall to eavesdrop.
She wasn't afraid of what the two of them might do in the living room, nor was she worried that her best friend would seduce her boyfriend, or that her boyfriend would cheat on her with her best friend. She was simply curious about what they would say about her behind her back.
Girls are always cunning; they really want to know how others perceive them.
But then, my phone suddenly rang.
She picked up her phone and glanced at it. It was a text message from Gu Ran: "Stop sticking your cup against the wall to eavesdrop, I saw everything!"
Damn it, I forgot he has superpowers, he can see through things!
Su Xiaoqiang put down the cup, pretending to be ostrich-like and claiming that he hadn't done anything.
Ding—the phone rang again with a text message from Gu Ran: "You are the most beautiful in my heart, and every smile of yours makes me swoon."
Gu Ran seemed to have guessed her thoughts and could always anticipate them.
Su Xiaoqiang felt a little embarrassed and annoyed. This moment of having her thoughts read felt like being stripped naked in front of him.
But upon closer reflection, they've been married for a long time, seen everything, and know each other's capabilities, so there doesn't seem to be anything to be ashamed of.
"I'm going to sleep, don't text me!" Su Xiaoqiang replied haughtily.
Gu Ran replied, "Okay, I'm going to sleep too. Let's sleep together."
Su Xiaoqiang, of course, knew his tricks and immediately replied with a text message: "Dream on, hmph!"
Outside the living room, Gu Ran saw the text message, smiled, and wasn't discouraged at all.
He didn't plan to launch a night raid or steal Su Xiaoqiang's body. Instead, he turned off the TV and the living room lights, wrapped himself in a blanket, leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes slightly, and breathed softly.
He has been having very poor sleep quality lately and hasn't been able to sleep well.
The Myanmar government recently released a death report on the bombings and flash floods in northern Myanmar, which resulted in the deaths of more than a thousand people.
Many of them died in the sinkholes after the explosion; they were buried underground and could not receive effective rescue. Only those who were buried shallowly were rescued.
Because there were Chinese citizens among the collapsed ruins, it attracted the attention of the local embassy.
The town's leader was dead, so there was no one to manage or control the situation. As a result, people who had been trafficked or tricked into coming to northern Myanmar finally had the opportunity to contact the embassy and arrange for them to return home.
This is one of the few pieces of good news.
These days, whenever Gu Ran sleeps, she dreams of people struggling and groaning in the earthquake ruins.
Because he realized that although these people's deaths had nothing to do with him, they had truly died in front of him, and he could not ignore these vibrant lives dying in front of him, not to mention that many of them were innocent.
He was like the man in the trolley problem; although he didn't have the button to kill, he still couldn't stand idly by as he watched these people die.
Gu Ran had taken psychology courses at school because mixed-race people often have some psychological problems. In psychology, witnessing a death scene is a psychological stress event that can produce strong emotions and psychological pressure.
Therefore, many firefighters who witness the tragic deaths of victims undergo a period of psychological treatment.
Although Gu Ran had seen dead people before, and had even killed quite a few himself, he had only killed those who deserved to die over the years. Those who died by his hand were all deserving of their fate.
This was the first time an innocent person had died in front of him.
His heart wasn't hard enough to ignore the deaths of innocent people right in front of him.
During this time, he would occasionally wonder if he could have saved more people if he had stayed to help with disaster relief instead of leaving.
Once this thought crossed his mind, he couldn't sleep at all.
Since she couldn't sleep, Gu Ran tried meditating and doing other things to distract herself.
He knew his own situation; this psychological stress didn't have a significant impact on him, and he could alleviate it on his own after a while.
Of course, talking to someone can help relieve your emotions more quickly.
However, he seemed to have no one to confide in.
Su Xiaoqiang could, of course, but he didn't want her to be exposed to so many dark things.
In the darkness, Gu Ran suddenly heard the sound of the door lock opening.
Then came the sound of light footsteps.
Although the lights were off in all the rooms, she was familiar with this place because it was her home, and the city had severe light pollution. Even with the living room lights off, she could still see the road somewhat by the light from other houses.
Soon, she sat down on the sofa in the living room, then gently lifted Gu Ran's head and placed it on her soft knees.
Gu Ran immediately felt the smoothness of her thigh skin. He knew that she liked to wear a nightgown to sleep, with her shoulders, arms and thighs bare, regardless of winter or summer.
"What good deed did I do to deserve a lap pillow as a reward?" Gu Ran opened her eyes and looked at the beautiful figure in the darkness. She was wearing a beige nightgown and a warm cloak draped over her bare, smooth shoulders.
"You're not making me angry, that's the best thing that can happen." Su Xiaoqiang gently stroked his head. "My aunt told me that you haven't been sleeping well lately, and it seems like you have some kind of psychological trauma. She said... you haven't gotten used to facing death yet."
Gu Ran smiled and nuzzled his head against her stomach: "Didn't you say you wanted me to pursue you? So now we're just friends. Can ordinary friends use their laps as pillows?"
As he spoke, Gu Ran's hand unceremoniously caressed her thigh, feeling her smooth skin.
Su Xiaoqiang knew he was changing the subject; he didn't want to bring up those things with her, and Zhang Wanjun didn't tell her anything specific either.
She didn't intend to ask further; a woman who keeps pressing for answers is unlovable.
Su Xiaoqiang stroked his chin like she was scratching a cat, and laughed, "I meant we'll be just friends starting tomorrow, tonight doesn't count!"
Gu Ran glanced at the alarm clock in the living room; it was already past 11 p.m. She wondered if her tomorrow would start at midnight.
He asked, "So, does that mean I'm still your fiancé? Then can I sleep with you?"
“Sure,” Su Xiaoqiang pinched his nose. “Didn’t you say you wanted to sleep with me?”
Gu Ran suddenly realized that Su Xiaoqiang's "dream on" in the text message actually meant arrogance.
She was looking forward to Gu Ran's seduction and night raid, but he was preoccupied and didn't immediately get it.
Gu Ran sat up, reached out his hand to her, and said in a coquettish tone, "Then carry me back to my room. I'm scared to go alone!"
This wasn't the first time Su Xiaoqiang had seen him act cute, but she thought to herself, how could she possibly carry such a big man?
But seeing his adorable expression, I knew I had to carry him, so I gritted my teeth and picked him up in a princess carry.
She originally thought Gu Ran would be very heavy, but when she actually held him, he was very light, like a kitten.
"How did you become so light?" Su Xiaoqiang asked curiously, her eyes wide.
"Superpowers, of course!"
Gu Ran happily hugged Su Xiaoqiang's neck, rubbing her cheek against her chest as she carefully washed her face with facial cleanser.
"Stop it, it tickles!" Su Xiaoqiang pinched his butt, then quickly carried him into the bedroom, threw him onto the bed, and then closed the bedroom door to avoid being disturbed by Liu Miaomiao late at night.
When she took off her shawl and lay down on the bed, Gu Ran immediately grabbed her left arm as a pillow, then wrapped one arm around her chest and put one leg on her stomach.
This is Gu Ran's favorite position. The last time he slept like this, he slept very soundly.
It's just that he's too heavy, and sleeping like this would make Su Xiaoqiang uncomfortable.
However, this time he used the Light and Heavy Rock Technique to reduce his weight, so that Su Xiaoqiang wouldn't feel uncomfortable when he was holding her.
Su Xiaoqiang felt like she was hugging a pillow. She felt her boyfriend's body temperature and affectionately touched the top of his head. His hair was very short, a neat buzz cut, and it was a little prickly.
The buzz cut is the hairstyle that best tests one's looks. Gu Ran has a round head and delicate features. Years of exercise have made him very fit, so the buzz cut makes him look very energetic and highlights his handsomeness.
Of course, he likes to keep his hair short because it doesn't require any styling; all he has to do every morning is brush his teeth and wash his face.
Su Xiaoqiang loved to touch his hair, and then she loved to stroke his cheeks, occasionally even touching his slightly prickly stubble. She would playfully rub the stubble with her soft fingertips.
Just like cats love being petted by affectionate people, Gu Ran also enjoyed Su Xiaoqiang's caresses. He moved his head closer, resting his cheek on the skin below her left collarbone. His heavy breath tickled her soft skin, making her feel a little itchy, but she could still bear it.
She could clearly sense that he was acting like a child, silently trying to get attention and favor from adults.
So she hugged him tighter, bringing them closer together so they could feel each other's warmth.
"You spoil me the most," Gu Ran said with a smile, her eyes closed.
"Because you're the best behaved," Su Xiaoqiang said happily.
Hugging between lovers releases oxytocin, a hormone that brings peace and tranquility to the mind, making the brain feel happy and temporarily relaxed, thus promoting relationships.
It was at this moment that Gu Ran felt much more relaxed.
Su Xiaoqiang lay flat on her back, letting him hug her from the side. One of her hands, which was being used as a pillow, gently patted his back, while the other hand gently pinched his nose, as if she had thought of something.
She said, "My aunt said you've found your mother."
Gu Ran snuggled closer to her and said apologetically, "Yes, I was planning to tell you after she woke up."
Chapter 346 Weibo Hot Search
Su Xiaoqiang didn't blame him for that, but said with some worry, "What if she doesn't like me?"
