Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 869: Men and Women Should Maintain Proper Distance

"The stomach is on the left side, the spot you’re pressing now is the liver." Zhang Lingying reminded him expressionlessly.

Lu Jing: "..."

In a rush, he acted wrongly, time to redo it.

Lu Jing moved his hand to the left and at the same time scooted closer to Zhang Lingying, "Just now the pain muddled me, everywhere I touched hurt."

Zhang Lingying saw he still had the mood to act, it seemed he was really fine, she put the book on the coffee table, turned around, and went into the room to get clothes for a shower.

After tidying up, she remembered she hadn’t taken her cold medicine today, and when she was stepping out to get water, she saw Lu Jing holding his phone, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window near the balcony making a call, looking displeased.

The whole person seemed to be enveloped in a somber aura.

Zhang Lingying subconsciously slowed her pace, hesitating if she should approach, but ultimately decided to go get water and take her medicine first.

When she returned to the living room, Lu Jing had already hung up the call and turned around.

Their eyes met, Lu Jing’s eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment, he spoke: "A call from Lu Xiao, threatening that if I don’t let him return to the Re Group, he’ll cut off our father-son relationship publicly in the newspaper."

"..."

Zhang Lingying thought, Lu Jing wouldn’t be afraid, he didn’t care about this father, so naturally, Lu Xiao’s actions couldn’t hurt him.

But after all, they are family, Lu Xiao’s actions would definitely make Lu Jing feel even more that Qiao Ran deserves better...

The more injustice he feels inside, the more unstable his emotions become.

Zhang Lingying casually placed the water cup on the living room coffee table, took a few steps forward, gently reached out, and gave Lu Jing a hug.

Lu Jing was stunned.

He stood there in a daze, not daring to move.

Letting Zhang Lingying stand on tiptoe and gently pat his head, comforting him: "He’s just someone unimportant after all, compared to Lu Xiao, I’m sure your mom would want you to live well, not let Lu Xiao affect your health."

If Lu Jing had misunderstood anything a few seconds ago, her latter words were enough to make him understand that Zhang Lingying was only sympathizing with him.

Worried that Lu Xiao’s call might trigger his stomach issues again.

Lu Jing lowered his eyes to look at her, catching the concern in her eyes, a trace of complex emotion flashed through his eyes, his voice hoarse: "Zhang Lingying, I can’t sleep alone at night, can you stay with me?"

Zhang Lingying: "???"

She didn’t speak, just looked at him blankly, as if not understanding in what way he meant to keep him company?

Lu Jing: "You can come to my room, or I can go to yours, I promise, it’s just chatting under the covers, I won’t do anything..."

Before Lu Jing could finish, Zhang Lingying had already pushed him firmly on the chest, shoving him away, picked up the water cup on the coffee table mercilessly, and returned to her room.

Just as she was closing the door, she turned her head back with an air of noble indifference, "Keep dreaming!"

Lu Jing: "..."

-

In the middle of the night, Zhang Lingying was woken by a knock on the door.

She rubbed her eyes, yawning, fumbled to turn on the bedside lamp, and with a bewildered look went to open the door.

Seeing Lu Jing standing at the door of her room, holding a pillow in his arms, she paused, suppressing her irritation, "Why aren’t you sleeping at this hour, what do you want?"

Lu Jing gathered his emotions and said, "I had a nightmare, can’t sleep, can you..."

"No, men and women shouldn’t be too close. If you wake me up again, I’ll pack you and your luggage into a suitcase and dump it in the trash downstairs."

After Zhang Lingying finished, she was about to close the door, but Lu Jing slipped in like a loach through the crack.

The next second, he swiftly crawled into her bed...
