"So, we're in a family relationship now, Xiaozhu, uh no, mother-in-law. ”

Coughing lightly a few times, Lu Chen squinted and smiled at her meaningfully under Xia Zhu's sharp gaze.

"Hmm!!"

For a moment, Xia Zhu's eyes widened in surprise, and she raised her chin and snorted unconvincedly: "You are so annoying!

After speaking, she also slapped Lu Chen's shoulder and back a few times with her little fist, and Chu Chu's pitiful eyes were full of resentment.

"Hehehe, am I not telling the truth? You can't substitute yourself as a QQ pet, that's your 'child'!"

Lu Chen glanced at her disappreciatively, and then began to quietly enjoy her free massage and back-beating service.

"Phew! I hate you. ”

After a few symbolic blows to his back to no avail, Xia Zhu let go of his arms and slid down in the direction of his neck, slamming his chin against his neck socket and muttering a few times.

"Hmph...... You know what I mean!"

"Heh, pig-headed little silly girl. ”

Tilting his head back and glancing at her aggrieved little expression, Lu Chen tapped her forehead with his fingers, then sat up straight in the chair and said:

"By the way, Xiaozhu, now the first retest is over. I think there must be a lot of room availability in the hotel now, and they are not as tight as they were a few days ago. ”

"Well, it should be, right?"

Xia Zhu removed his head from his neck, then nodded noncommittally in agreement, "But what's the matter? ”

"Oh, then let's change the room to a standard room. Lu Chen said suddenly.

“...... Huh?" Xia Zhu opened his mouth in surprise.

Seeing this, Lu Chen shrugged his shoulders and continued: "Didn't we say at the beginning, this room is just a temporary one, and when the exam is about to end, we will change it when there is a suitable room vacant." ”

"Well, that's right, but ......"

Xia Zhu's tone was a little hesitant, and his expression became a little flickering.

Originally, she really minded the two of them sleeping together like this at first.

After all, the two are still high school students, and they are also very young.

As a result, they were going to live and sleep together so soon, and she still felt a little inappropriate psychologically, thinking that it was too early.

However, after getting along with Lu Chen for more than a week, Xia Zhu's opinion in his heart has gradually changed again.

There is no other reason, just because in such an extremely sweet journey, Xia Zhu was surprised to find -

The feeling of sleeping with Lu Chen every night always made her feel unusually relieved and happy.

It's like lying in a warm harbor, and every day and every night is so comfortable and relaxing.

But now, is that the end of such a day?

Xia Zhu was really reluctant to feel this way, but she was embarrassed to say to Lu Chen directly: Forget it, let's sleep together like this, it's okay.

Otherwise, doesn't it seem that she misses the feeling of sleeping in a hug, and it seems that she is very so?

"Whew, how could it be ......"

With a low whimper, Xia Zhu sat on the seat on the side very depressed, not very eager to face the current problem.

She really regrets dying now, and she knew that she shouldn't be the first to oppose it in the first place......

But ah, Xia Zhu can't show the slightest objection to this, otherwise wouldn't he expose the little Jiujiu in his heart?

That's embarrassing.

However, Lu Chen naturally didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.

I saw that after searching the list of vacant rooms in the hotel on the Internet, he said directly: "Oh, Xiaozhu, the standard rooms after this hotel are very vacant." ”

"Oh......" Xia Zhu replied in a low mood.

“......？”

Yu Guang glanced at her, and seeing that she was a little sullen, Lu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and said casually: "What's the matter, are you unhappy?"

“...... Not at all. ”

Xia Zhu subconsciously retorted, but her tone when she said this was weak and not convincing at all.

Seeing this, Lu Chen thought about it in silence for a while, but still roughly guessed the reason for her frustration.

So he stood up, walked straight to Xia Zhu, looked at her and said:

"Seeing that you are so sullen, if you have any opinions and ideas, just say them directly. ”

"Hmph...... I don't have any opinions. Xia Zhu snorted forcefully.

Hearing this, Lu Chen followed her words directly and continued: "Since you have no opinion, then we will go and return this big room at noon tomorrow and change it to a standard room?"

“...... Woo, whatever you want. ”

Xia Zhu pouted, and a few fingers were entangled together and broken.

"Oh, don't you want to change?" Lu Chen folded his arms and laughed in a playful tone.

"No!" Xia Zhu immediately retorted.

But when she looked up and found that Lu Chen's eyes were staring at her seriously, her gaze couldn't help but become a little evasive, and at the same time, her cheeks began to redden.

"I just think it's a little ...... A bit of a hassle......"

Halfway through the words, Xia Zhu hurriedly shook his head and denied it a few times: "Forget it, change it! Change it! Anyway, I said it at the beginning, isn't it!"

“...... Well, let's say okay. ”

Seeing that her expression was still a little uncomfortable, Lu Chen didn't say anything more, and finalized the matter.

......

【That night】

Lying on the soft pillow, Lu Chen felt that the fatigue of the day was rushing up, and at the same time, a powerful wave of tiredness began to sweep through his mind.

With a crisp sound, Xia Zhu turned off the light, and then lay silently in his place without saying a word.

“......”

“......”

For a while, the atmosphere between the two fell into a rare silence.

“......？”

Lu Chen, who sensed that something was wrong, turned his head and looked in the direction where Xia Zhu was, only to see that she was quietly looking at the ceiling in a daze at the moment.

"No, you won't be angry about such a thing, will you?" Lu Chen asked in surprise.

“......”

Xia Zhu was still silent, just silently wiped the side of his cheek with the back of his hand.

"Alas......"

Seeing this, Lu Chen sighed softly, then slowly moved closer to her, patted her shoulder with his palm and said:

"Xiaozhu, weren't you still clamoring to change the standard room before? Why did you change the hexagram in just a few days?

"......" Xia Zhu pursed the corners of his lips wordlessly.

After a moment of silence, she seemed to feel that it was not good to go on like this.

So after being quiet for a few minutes, she muttered in a soft tone:

“...... Hmph, aren't you happy?"

"yes. ”

"???" Xia Zhu turned his head to look at him in shock.

In this regard, Lu Chen raised his eyebrows disapprovingly, and said in a mocking tone:

"Yes, of course I'm glad that I can sleep separately like that, I can't ask for it. ”

“？？？”

Hearing his breakup remarks, which can be called "death", Xia Zhu couldn't care about the nameless sulking he was still having at this moment.

I saw that she turned sideways directly, slapped Lu Chen's arm a few times with her small fist, and said angrily:

"What do you mean, are you disgusting me?"

"That's not it, who told you to sleep dishonestly? I won't talk about kicking the quilt in the middle of the night, and from time to time I will give me a set of soul-chasing locks, who can stand this?" Lu Chen complained mercilessly.

"???I'm snoring! You're still snoring when you sleep! It's like a hybrid stereo! I've never disliked you for this!" Xia Zhu replied.

"Hehe, do you dare to dislike me for this, do you believe it or not, I'll throw you to the ground and fall asleep tonight?!"

Without the slightest pity for the jade, Lu Chen directly flicked her smooth forehead with his fingers, causing the latter to scream for a while.

"I ...... Me!"

Covering his forehead with a small red mark, Xia Zhu was simply ashamed and angry.

But it was impossible for her to compete with Lu Chen in terms of physical strength, so she could only stare at him viciously with a pair of misty eyes-

"Woooooooo

With a howl, Xia Zhu suddenly pounced, grabbed Lu Chen's shoulder with his teeth and claws, and then bit him hard without saying a word, gnawing on his arm.

"——!!" Lu Chen's eyes widened.

It's just that although Xia Zhu did have some anger and resentment in her heart, she didn't really bother to bite Lu Chen, but just symbolically imprinted a shallow tooth mark on his arm and called it a day.

"Tsk...... Like Xiao Wei, they are all dogs. Lu Chen was stunned in pain.

"Hmph. ”

Snorted smugly, Xia Zhu watched that he had finally avenged his revenge, and only then did he feel that the boredom in his heart had dissipated a lot.

So, she slowly softened her body, lay back on her pillow, and quietly watched Lu Chen in a daze.

“...... Lu Chen, I still think that's it. She said softly.

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes: "What's it, do you still sleep together like this?"

“...... Well. Xia Zhu replied in a low voice.

Then, she slowly moved her body, squeezed herself into Lu Chen's warm embrace, and hugged him.

"Otherwise, let's not change it, anyway, it won't be a few days after that......" She buried her face in Lu Chen's neck socket and said in a low voice.

When he said this, Xia Zhu's tone was soft, and his voice was even softer and glutinous, sounding like a sweet feeling.

"Is that what you want......

Lu Chen listened to her words silently and did not express any objections.

"Hmmm......"

Responding softly, Xia Zhu murmured in a low voice: "Anyway~ We will always get married in the future, right? ”

"What's more, we have already signed the marriage papers. If it weren't for the age limit, we would already be considered husbands...... Husband...... Wife, huh?"

At the end of the words, Xia Zhu's tone became more and more erratic, and finally it simply turned into an intermittent murmur.

“......”

Lu Chen lowered his head and stared quietly at her beautiful eyes in the dark night.

“...... If you really want that, then I don't really care. He said in a deep voice.

“！”

Hearing this, Xia Zhu's face, which was originally covered with some clouds, immediately showed joy:

"That's right, then don't change it, it's a lot of trouble to move things!"

"Well, well, let's go in this room. Lu Chen nodded in agreement.

"Uh-huh!"

got a positive answer from the other party, and the nameless depression blocked in Xia Zhu's heart finally found an outlet to vent, and it dissipated without a trace in an instant.

So, she happily hugged Lu Chen, put her face on his hot neck, and said affectionately:

"By the way, Lu Chen, tell me a bedtime story. ”

Lu Chen: "Storytelling, I'm not good at this." ”

"Oh, I didn't let you tell a profound story, you just said a little funny thing, like when you were a child. ”

After saying that, Xia Zhu blinked again and added with a smile: "In return, I can also tell you a story of mine." ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen became a little interested.

I saw that after he had been brewing for a while, he coughed lightly and said, "Once upon a time there was a mountain, and there was a temple in the mountain, and there was a ...... in the temple."

"Don't be perfunctory, do you want to say that there is an old monk, and then there is a temple?" Xia Zhujiao snorted and patted him on the shoulder.

"Fart, what I'm going to say is that there is a temple in the mountains called Oolong Temple! There is a long-eyebrow master and a fat-headed master living in it......"

......

“...... And then, the little apprentice and the bald apprentice...... Xiaozhu?Xiaozhu?"

Halfway through the story, Lu Chen was talking, and suddenly found that the girl in his arms had quieted down for some time.

When she looked down, she found that Xia Zhu had closed her eyes, and her long eyelashes rested quietly on her eyelids, slightly undulating as she breathed steadily.

"it...... I said okay to tell each other a story, I haven't finished this yet, what does it mean that you will fall asleep first?"

Lu Chen was speechless, she was talking about it on her side, but she was good, I don't know when she fell asleep, and she slept so comfortably.

However, it is impossible for Lu Chen to disturb people's dreams for this.

So even though there were countless grooves in his heart that wanted to vomit, he still carefully helped her straighten her back to ensure that she would not catch a cold at night.

“~~”

In the boundless night, Xia Zhu lay in his lover's arms and slept peacefully, enjoying the last few hours of light that were left at the moment.

Despite the darkness around her, there was always a happy smile on the corner of her mouth.

......

......

【On the day of the third test】

A few days later, the time finally came to the final three tests.

Wear a mask and dress well.

Lu Chen and Xia Zhu came to the Beijing Film Academy with ease, ready to meet this last challenge.

In the school, people are still coming and going. It's just that what can be seen with the naked eye is that the number of people is less than a few days ago.

Now there are about 3,000 candidates left in the whole school, and they are still competing for the final spot.

"Xiaozhu, come on, this is the last level. ”

Standing at the door of the acting academy, Lu Chen patted Xia Zhu's shoulder as encouragement.

"Well, I won't let you down, then I'll go first!" Xia Zhu replied excitedly.

"Okay, I'll wait for you, go ahead!"
