Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 870: Anything Can Happen in Dreams

Zhang Lingying’s hand was still on the doorknob. By the time she came to her senses, Lu Jing had already found the most comfortable spot on her bed and closed his eyes to sleep.

With his actions, he proved to her that he really didn’t do anything, just covered himself with the quilt and purely slept.

"One."

"Two."

Zhang Lingying stood at the door, scrutinizing the pretending-to-sleep Lu Jing for a few seconds, and began counting.

When she counted to three, Lu Jing opened his eyes, sneaked a peek at her, got caught by Zhang Lingying, and sat up from the bed grudgingly, hugging his pillow and slowly crawling out of her bedding.

When he reached the door, he still asked reluctantly, "Can’t you really let me stay for one night?"

Zhang Lingying did not answer him. She directly reached out and pushed him out the door, neatly closing it.

After sending Lu Jing off, Zhang Lingying didn’t think much of it, fell back into bed, wrapped herself in the blanket, and fell asleep.

She wasn’t sure if it was psychological, but she always felt that her room was filled with Lu Jing’s scent, especially on the quilt.

After a great effort to fall asleep, she dreamt that Lu Jing, after she was sound asleep, sneaked into her room and then into her arms...

Zhang Lingying woke up with a fright.

She lifted the quilt and looked around, not finding Lu Jing in her arms, and she was momentarily stunned.

When she realized what kind of dream she had, her cheeks turned bright red, and it took a long time covering her face to recover.

This dream actually made her much more awake, and for a long time, she couldn’t muster up any drowsiness. Instead, she felt dry-mouthed and wanted to get herself a glass of water.

When she reached the living room and saw Lu Jing sitting on the sofa in a daze, holding a pillow, she stopped suddenly, doubting if she was seeing things.

She looked carefully; lo and behold, it really was him!

They had agreed before that she consented to Lu Jing moving into her home, and Lu Jing must promise her that he wouldn’t stay up all night, curling up on the floor alone, staring out the window in a daze.

Now looking at it... Lu Jing indeed accomplished what he promised her.

This time, he wasn’t curled up on the floor at the corner of the sofa; instead, he was sitting upright on the sofa.

It was a tiny improvement compared to before, but not much of a difference as he was still not sleeping at night!

Zhang Lingying flicked the living room lights on with a snap, walked over in a huff, glaring at the unreliable Lu Jing.

Lu Jing probably didn’t expect her to come out at this time; after a few seconds of dullness, his pale face gradually turned aggrieved, and in a small voice, he explained, "Sorry, I didn’t mean to. I’m scared alone and can’t fall asleep."

He wasn’t exactly lying.

Ever since Qiao Ran passed away, Lu Jing, every time he closed his eyes, a lot of images would surface.

When he was very young, before his mother went mad, she would take great care of herself, always looking delicately beautiful, and she would dress him up handsomely, telling him, our Jing is the cutest little prince in the world.

Although his dad always had social engagements and was busy with work, he always felt like a happy child.

Later...

Lu Jing didn’t want to think about it anymore.

Perhaps after all the beautiful things shattered, they would turn into the most terrifying memories.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, the scenes of Qiao Ran before her death would uncontrollably flash in his mind, like a nightmare that couldn’t be shaken off...

"But you can’t keep not sleeping. The doctor said that your body can’t recover well. Aside from eating irregularly, chronic insomnia is also a main cause," Zhang Lingying warned fiercely, frowning.
