In the end, Ruan Ling still didn't win this "big monopoly".

Pausing to rest in the middle saved Ruan Ling's luck a little, and the next time she rolled the dice, she didn't go to Ye Xu's territory again.

But after a few rounds, it was Ruan Ling's turn to pay Ye Xu the toll, and this time her money was just a few hundred yuan.

Ruan Ling sighed and chose to give up: "If you don't play, don't play, go bankrupt!" ”

Ye Xu glanced at her, silently took down the milk tea covering her forehead, and handed it to Ruan Ling.

Ruan Ling threw a relieved look at Ye Xu and took the cup: "It's okay, I lost the game, and I still have milk tea to drink." ”

She took a small sip first, and the temperature was just right.

Ye Xu silently watched Ruan Ling take another big sip of milk tea before asking, "Do you want to play again?" ”

Ruan Ling said categorically: "Don't! ”

Ye Xu pondered the words: "Perhaps...... Once again, the luck is not so bad. ”

Ruan Ling bit the straw and shook his head: "Don't, I think today's fortune has been used up." ”

Ye Xu: "......"

The young man looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Ruan Ling didn't know what to do: "What's wrong?" Do you still want to play? ”

Ye Xu pursed the corners of his lips: "...... Nor did it. ”

In fact, it doesn't matter what he plays, he just feels a little reluctant to do this.

Just sit with her and do something that might not be so interesting.

But don't think about anything, just have a quiet and good time.

"Speaking of which." Ruan Ling blinked, "How are you feeling now?" It's been almost an hour, do you want to go back to your room and lie down for a while? ”

Ye Xu shook his head: "No." I feel much better, I had a bit of a headache before, but now it doesn't hurt. ”

Ruan Ling: "Really? ”

Ye Xu was sure: "Really." ”

Afraid that she wouldn't believe it, Ye Xu touched his forehead again, and said solemnly: "It's not too hot anymore." ”

Ruan Ling looked at him and reached out to touch it himself.

It's really not that hot.

Ruan Linggang wanted to sigh that the young man was getting better so quickly, but he felt that something was wrong.

She reacted, "You just helped me warm the milk tea with ice, of course it won't be hot." ”

Ye Xu's eyes flashed.

Ruan Ling raised his eyebrows: "Ye Xu, you have actually learned to trick me now?" ”

Ye Xu: "...... No, I forgot about it. ”

Ruan Ling didn't care about him: "Forget it, you wait for me, I'll go and bring the thermometer to you again." ”

As she spoke, she was about to go out.

Ye Xu also quickly stood up: "I'll go with you." ”

Ruan Ling stopped abruptly and stared back at him.

Ye Xu was uncomfortable with her: "What's wrong?" ”

"I found one thing." Ruan Ling looked at Ye Xu and said unhurriedly, "When you were sick, it seemed to be different from usual. ”

Ye Xu was stunned: "What's the difference?" ”

Ruan Ling is serious: "I've become more clingy, a bit like a kindergarten kid." ”

Ye Xu was stunned.

didn't wait for him to react,

Ruan Ling had already laughed and continued to go to Ye Xu's room to get the thermometer.

After waiting for a second, Ye Xu's footsteps sounded behind him again.

The corners of Ruan Ling's lips raised slightly: I really followed her like a child.

She took the thermometer on the desk and pointed to the bed unceremoniously: "Sit there and measure the temperature for a □□." ”

Ye Xu silently took the thermometer and sat down on the edge of the bed.

He asked her again, "What about you?" ”

Ruan Ling pointed to the chair next to the desk: "I'm waiting for you here." ”

Ye Xu looked relieved, nodded, and then clamped the thermometer.

Ruan Ling sat down and looked at Ye Xu with some novelty: "Is it really so clingy?" ”

"You're saying I'm like a kid anyway." Ye Xu's voice was low, "Then I might as well be more sticky." ”

Ruan Ling blinked.

Ye Xu pursed his lips: "...... Don't you like it? ”

Ruan Ling raised his eyebrows and did not answer.

Ye Xu: "Actually, I didn't mean to. ”

His eyes looked a little pitiful: "It's just that you're next to me...... I don't feel so uncomfortable. ”

Ruan Ling couldn't help laughing: "I'm not a cold medicine, how can I have the effect you said." ”

Ye Xu nodded with a sworn face, and explained seriously: "Really." Before you came to accompany me in the morning, I felt a pain in my head. But after just playing with you for a while, I feel better. ”

Because of his illness, the boy's voice sounded a little weak, but he spoke word by word very clearly.

Between the lines, there is a sense of sincerity that people have to believe.

Ruan Ling felt that her heart had softened.

"Alright, alright." Ruan Ling's voice couldn't help but soften, "I believe it." Anyway, I don't have anything to do today, so I'll stay with you. ”

Ye Xu let out a sullen "um", feeling that his cheeks were a little hot.

He rarely expressed his thoughts so bluntly, especially those words just now, if it were a normal day, he would definitely not be able to say anything.

But probably because my body has no strength after I got sick, and my brain is a little groggy, but I can say everything I am usually embarrassed to say.

Although after saying that, I still feel very uncomfortable.

Ruan Ling also found that today's Ye Xu was really different from usual, and she was a little unaccustomed to it.

Such coquettish words, if they are placed in ordinary times, they will definitely not be heard.

Is it really just because I'm sick?

After thinking about it, Ruan Ling asked, "Ye Xu, you won't still take this morning's incident seriously, right?" ”

She deliberately didn't say what it was, but looking at Ye Xu's expression, she must have immediately understood what she meant.

Ye Xu's eyes suddenly drifted.

Ruan Ling thought, sure enough, Ye Xu still hadn't forgotten the conversation between her and Ye Jingchi about divorce in the restaurant early this morning.

The air was quiet for a moment, and Ruan Ling said, "Don't worry, if I really want to divorce your father, I will definitely tell you in advance, and I won't sneak behind your back." ”

Ye Xu was stunned for a moment.

Normally, if it is to comfort him, it should not

It is to say: rest assured (), Mom and Dad will not divorce.

Ye Xu couldn't help but ask: "Then you guys (1)()_[()] (1) "Come []+ watch the latest chapter + complete chapter" (), you will really ...... in the future"

Ruan Ling thought for a moment: "At least, hmm...... At least not in the last six months. ”

At least go to the plot where Ye Xu and the heroine of the campus text meet, otherwise the system will definitely not let her go easily.

Ye Xu: "......"

He suddenly wanted to know how Ye Jingchi would react if he heard that his marriage only had a half-year guarantee period in Ruan Ling's mouth.

But Ye Xu didn't ask anymore.

He knew in his heart that these were still matters between Ruan Ling and Ye Jingchi after all, and even if he forcibly asked for a guarantee, it would be meaningless.

After a while, Ye Xu suddenly lowered his head and said, "Anyway, as long as you know, I will be on your side." ”

Ruan Ling blurted out: "Why are you on my side?" Could it be that if I divorce Ye Jingchi, you really follow me? ”

Ye Xu was silent for a few seconds.

He hadn't thought about it, but if she wanted to......

Ruan Ling found that Ye Xu was really thinking seriously, and quickly interrupted him: "Don't, don't!" Say it in advance, if there really is such a day, I will definitely not let you follow me! ”

Not to mention whether it is feasible or not, Ye Jingchi is such an heir as Ye Xu, and she really let her take it away, what should she do with such a big Ye family?

Besides, Ruan Ling didn't plan to live a divorced life with a baby, she still wanted to live a chic life.

Afraid that Ye Xu would really move his thoughts, Ruan Ling emphasized again: "Absolutely not!" ”

Ye Xu: "......"

……

Ruan Ling glanced at the alarm clock at the bedside and found that the time was about the same.

She stretched out her hand: "I'll see, how many degrees is it now?" ”

Ye Xu handed her the thermometer, Ruan Ling took a look, and found that it was not much worse than just now.

It used to be thirty-eight degrees one, now it's thirty-seven degrees nine.

Ruan Ling told Ye Xu the number: "I'll just say, how can a fever get better so quickly." ”

Ye Xu said in a sullen voice: "But I really feel better, I didn't lie to you." ”

Ruan Ling: "Okay, then tell me, what do you want to do now?" ”

Ye Xu: "Whatever you want, I can accompany you." ”

Ruan Ling thought for a while and said, "Actually, I'm also a little uncomfortable now. ”

Ye Xu was stunned for a moment, and then quickly understood.

This time his reaction was not as big as it had just been, but his expression still looked unnatural.

Ye Xu asked: "Is it because ...... Menstrual period? ”

Ruan Ling generously admitted: "Hmm. ”

Ye Xu pursed his lips.

"Then ......" Ye Xu hesitated for a moment, "You also drink more hot water?" ”

Ruan Ling: "......"

……

Although it is a bit funny for two people to let each other drink hot water, there seems to be no other good way.

Fortunately, this body should not be the kind of physique that will die of pain during the menstrual period.

Ruan Ling just felt a faint feeling of bloating pain in her lower abdomen, but there was nothing else to feel.

Neither of them can do strenuous exercise, Ruan Ling thought about it, and decided to take Ye Xu downstairs to watch TV together for a while.

However, after finishing on the sofa, Ruan Ling had a hard time seeing what to do.

Ruan Ling asked Ye Xu: "Last time the two of us watched TV together, what did we watch?" ”

Ye Xu recalled: "It seems to be the ...... A show where couples quarrel. ”

Ruan Ling corrected him: "That's not a husband and wife quarrel show, it's a marriage mediation show." ”

Ye Xu wanted to speak and stopped.

Ruan Ling sighed: "Okay, I understand, it's really no difference." In short, this option is excluded in the first place. ”

Watching this kind of program during the menstrual period, Ruan Ling was very suspicious that she would be so angry that she had irregular menstruation.

Ruan Ling: "What about last time?" What else did we watch together? ”

Ye Xu thought about it carefully: "Before that...... It seems to be a TV series. But you see you're asleep. ”

Ruan Ling recalled for a moment, and Daigo was empowered: "Oh, I remembered! is the TV series in which Xu Cheng made a cameo. ”

Ye Xu: "......"

The boy didn't answer.

Ruan Ling thoughtfully: "Having said that, I haven't asked the crew about the situation over there for a long time, and I don't know how Xu Cheng and their filming are doing." ”

Ye Xu was still silent on the side.

Ruan Ling muttered to herself for a while, and felt that her ears suddenly became a lot quieter.

Ruan Ling glanced at Ye Xu and suddenly said, "I forgot that you don't like him, then I won't mention him when you're sick." ”

Ye Xu: "...... I didn't say I didn't like him. ”

Ruan Ling nodded without changing his face: "Well, you just hate him in your heart." ”

Ye Xu: "......"

Ruan Ling gave him an understanding look: "I understand, you two are of the same grade, and you are both school grasses, so it's normal to not get used to each other." ”

Ye Xu lowered his eyes, and his voice was so small that he could barely hear it

See: "It's not because of this. ”

Ruan Ling didn't hear what Ye Xu said, her attention had already returned to her lower abdomen.

The swelling pain there has become a little more pronounced and not as easy to ignore as before.

Ruan Ling simply chose to give up and handed over the choice to Ye Xu: "You can choose one and watch it, I want to hold the pillow and rest for a while." ”

.

At six o'clock and five o'clock in the evening, when Ye Jingchi returned home, he saw such a scene.

Ruan Ling and Ye Xu were leaning side by side on the sofa, and a soap opera was playing on the TV.

Compared to Ye Xu, who had a fever pastel on his head, Ruan Ling looked more like a sick person, leaning on the sofa with a weak appearance.

And Ye Xu was handing Ruan Ling a cup of hot water, and for a while he didn't seem to know who was taking care of whom.

Hearing Ye Jingchi's movement, Ye Xu's movements paused and looked over.

And Ruan Ling didn't even give him a look, just said listlessly: "You're back." ”

Ye Jingchi's eyebrows were slightly raised.

He walked over and put his hand on Ruan Ling's forehead: "You also have a fever?" ”

Ruan Ling lifted his eyelids and glanced at him: "No." ”

Ye Jingchi: "...... Is that? ”

Ruan Ling: "During the menstrual period, my stomach hurts. ”

Ye Jingchi: "......"

The man was silent for a moment and looked at Ye Xu: "What about Xiao Xu?"

Ruan Ling hugged the pillow and told a cold joke weakly: "He is not a menstrual period. ”

Ye Xu: "......?" ”

The young man spoke: "I'm okay, I measured the temperature in the room before, and it was more than thirty-seven degrees." ”

Although Ruan Ling was not energetic, he still did not forget to correct him: "It's thirty-seven degrees nine." ”

Ye Jingchi twisted his eyebrows and looked at the two people on the sofa who didn't look very good.

Two seconds later, Ye Xu consciously stood up: "I'll go back to my room and rest for a while, and then come down when I'm eating." ”

Ye Jingchi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Remember to measure □□ temperature again." ”

Ye Xu nodded: "Got it." ”

Ye Jingchi watched Ye Xu go upstairs, and then looked at Ruan Ling.

Ruan Ling glanced at him: "It's useless for you to see me, I guess I'll get through today, you don't have to worry about me." ”

Ye Jingchi was silent.

Ruan Ling added: "Don't let me drink more hot water, I've been drinking. You don't have to boil brown sugar water for me, my aunt helped me get it. ”

Ye Jingchi: "......"

The current situation is indeed beyond the scope of his knowledge.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Jingchi sat down silently next to Ruan Ling.

Ruan Ling's expression finally fluctuated slightly, and she raised her eyelids: "What are you doing?" ”

Ye Jingchi: "I'll sit with you for a while." ”

With a natural expression, he covered his palm with Ruan Ling's hand holding the pillow, and his eyebrows moved slightly: "It's a little cold." ”

Ruan Ling replied without much strength: "It's your hands that are too hot." ”

Ye Jingchi looked at her and asked for advice: "I'll help you warm up?" ”

As he spoke, his fingers holding her tighter.

Ruan Ling: "My stomach hurts, what's the use of you warming my hands?" ”

Ye Jingchi's eyebrows frowned slightly: "That...... I'll help you warm your belly? ”

Ruan Ling blinked.

Seeing that she didn't object, Ye Jingchi tentatively put his hand on her abdomen through her pajamas.

Ruan Ling moved slightly.

Ye Jingchi immediately asked, "What's wrong?" Under the weather? ”

Ruan Ling: "...... No. ”

Ye Jingchi asked again: "Then do you want to rub it?" ”

It can be seen that Ye Jingchi is indeed very inexperienced in warming his stomach.

Ruan Ling shook his head: "No." ”

She remembered reading on the Internet that she couldn't rub her stomach casually during her menstrual period, what kind of diseases would it cause.

Hearing this, Ye Jingchi didn't move, just quietly put his palm on her lower abdomen.

Neither of them spoke, only the sound of soap operas was still coming from the TV, but Ruan Ling felt very relieved inexplicably.

Ye Jingchi's palms were very warm, and it seemed to really have some effect on relieving pain.

Ruan Ling felt the warmth coming from the man's palm, and even felt that she wanted more.

She stared at Ye Jingchi's hand, thinking that if she could not use her clothes, it would definitely be more comfortable.

Ye Jingchi seemed to notice her gaze, and asked softly, "What are you looking at?" ”

Ruan Ling shook his head.

Actually, it's a little too intimate now, so it's better to just keep it as it is.

After thinking about it, Ruan Ling tilted his head and leaned his head against Ye Jingchi's

on the shoulders.

Then he shifted his body a little more, changing to a more comfortable angle.

After a long silence, Ruan Ling suddenly said, "I now feel that there seems to be a little bit of benefit to getting married. At least when your stomach hurts, someone can help warm you up. ”

Ye Jingchi smiled: "Is this the only benefit?" ”

Ruan Ling nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, I can only think of this now." ”

As she spoke, she closed her eyes comfortably.

Ye Jingchi didn't speak anymore, and the two leaned together like this.

I don't know how long it took, Ye Jingchi suddenly said in a deep voice: "Then when you are uncomfortable in the future, I will help you warm up." ”

……

Because he was not feeling well, after dinner, Ruan Ling went back to his room early to rest.

When she woke up the next morning, Ruan Ling found that she no longer felt any pain.

Sure enough, this body is the same as her before, only the first day of the menstrual period is the most uncomfortable, and the rest is much better.

Ruan Ling and Ye Xu ate a light breakfast together, and then watched him take his temperature again.

The temperature has dropped to thirty-seven degrees.

Ruan Ling couldn't help but sigh: "Young people's health is good, just have a fever for a day." ”

Ye Xu asked, "Then you ...... today?" Going out? ”

Ruan Ling shook her head: "Don't go out." ”

She's been planning a new shoot lately, so she's not in a hurry to pick up new clients.

When the studio opened before, Ruan Ling was full of excitement and didn't think too much about it.

But now after running for a while, Ruan Ling found that there were still many problems with his previous plan.

And after chatting with Su Qin, she had a lot of new ideas.

So after the Chinese Valentine's Day, Ruan Ling decided not to rush to take orders first, but to take advantage of this gap to make future plans.

Hearing Ruan Ling say that he couldn't go out, the corners of Ye Xu's mouth rose imperceptibly.

Ye Xu: "If you need any help, I can also help you." ”

Ruan Ling didn't shirk either: "Okay, I'll call you again if you need help." ”

But for now, she's enough to do it on her own.

Ruan Ling drew pictures in the room all morning, and by the way, bought some props for decorating the scene on the Internet, and a batch of new clothes.

With the help of professionals on Su Qin's side, Ruan Ling also contacted a factory and recently communicated about clothing patternmaking.

In addition, she also contacted the photographer she had come to find before, and made an appointment to talk to the other person in person.

Ruan Ling thought about it last night and felt that she could indeed consider handing over part of the photography task.

This also allows her to have more energy to plan the scene and look for the shoot, and she prefers this overall design process to just taking pictures of people.

After noon, Chen Songyang and Su Junruo came to the house to see Ye Xu.

Knowing that Ye Xu was allergic before, Chen Songyang had been clamoring in the group to come to visit the patient.

So today, after Ye Xu's fever subsided, the two came together.

Chen Songyang also wanted to pull Ruan Ling together, and the four of them would play a few games together.

Ruan Ling originally wanted to agree, but it happened that she was working

All morning, ready to relax.

But suddenly, an unknown phone call came in, followed by a system tone.

[Host, please note that this call is related to the upcoming main quest, so please be sure to answer it.] 】

Ruan Ling asked Ye Xu to stay in the room, and walked out with his mobile phone.

pressed the answer button, and a female voice from the speaker came from Ruan Ling's unfamiliar voice.

"Lingling." The woman's voice was slow, and her tone was concerned, "I haven't been in touch with you for a long time, how are you doing?" ”

It sounds like the other side is quite familiar with the original owner.

Ruan Ling replied lightly: "It's okay." You are? ”

"Hehe, Lingling, you really know how to laugh." There were a few laughs on the other end of the phone, and almost immediately in Ruan Ling's mind, a scene of a woman covering her mouth and smirking appeared.

Ruan Ling replied patiently: "Who are you?" If I don't say it, I'll hang up. ”

Female voice: "Lingling, why can't you even hear my voice?" After all, we are ...... too."

Ruan Ling rolled her eyes and hung up the phone.

【？！ 】

System Madness: [I've said it's an important call related to the main quest!] Why are you hanging! 】

Ruan Ling looked innocent: "You just said that I had to answer, and you didn't say that you couldn't hang up." And I think she shouldn't have anything important, otherwise how could she talk so slowly? ”

【……】

Ruan Ling finally remembered and asked, "By the way, who is the person who called me?" You should know. ”

System: [...... is Ruan Mingwei's current wife, Lin Mei'e. 】

Ruan Ling let out an "oh", showing pity: "Then I regret it, I really shouldn't have hung up just now." ”

Hearing this, the system was a little relieved: [Yes, you finally have a little realization. This person is nominally your mother, and she is definitely an important person to help you complete the main quest! You'd better maintain a better relationship with her, after all, the rest of the Ruan family has already been offended by you——]

Ruan Ling interrupted the system: "No, I'm regretting, why didn't I scold a few words before hanging up just now." ”

System: [?! 】

Ruan Ling counted with his fingers: "Ruan Mingwei, that scumbag, and his pair of children, I have already scolded them all." Now in the best of this family, I really haven't scolded Lin Mei'e yet. ”

【…… What are you accomplishing in collecting achievements? 】

"Almost, always have some fun for yourself." Ruan Ling said lightly, "You haven't told me yet, what is the main plot related to Lin Mei'e?" ”

System: [That's right.] According to the plot in the original book, at this time, you have begun to gradually realize that Ye Jingchi and Ye Xu are not people you can handle. 】

Ruan Ling lifted his eyelids: "And then?" ”

[It just so happened that Lin Mei'e came to find you at this time, hoping that you could intercede in front of Ye Jingchi and give the Ruan family some business benefits. You think that it is impossible to get love in this marriage anyway, so it is better to use your identity to seek more benefits for the Ruan family. In this way, even if you divorce in the future, you will have the backer of your mother's family. 】

Ruan Ling nodded thoughtfully: "So Lin Mei'e came to me at this time to let me blow the wind in Ye Jingchi's ears?" ”

[Almost.] 】

Ruan Ling: "But I've already hung up the phone, so the mission is gone?" ”

If it's so simple, then as long as she doesn't answer the phone call from the Ruan family in the future, won't she have to do the relevant main quest?

The system is frightened: [Don't think crookedly, you still have to answer the phone that should be answered!] Otherwise, if the main story collapses beyond repair, there will be unpredictable consequences! 】

Ruan Ling's tone was calm: "Then what now?" ”

【……】

Why do you still have the audacity to ask me?!
