I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 327 Sleepless Night

Shen Lanxi?

The corners of Jiang Huashan's bright mouth twitched slightly.

Why is Shen Lanxi here?

Before she could respond, Gao Zhi poked his head out from behind Shen Lanxi and greeted her respectfully, "Miss Jiang."

Shen Lanxi glanced into the room and asked, "Why aren't the lights on?"

"..." Jiang Huashan tapped the floor with her toes, "The power is out."

Power outage? Gao Zhi turned to look at the elevator lobby. Something was wrong. There was clearly power when they came up just now.

Shen Lanxi looked at her calmly, "Where's Shen Guiling? Isn't he here?"

"Brother Lan Xi." Shen Guiling walked into the entrance with his hands in his pockets, a slight smile on his lips.

Shen Lanxi looked at Shen Guiling over Jiang Huashan. One of them was distant and the other was gentle. Their eyes seemed calm but in fact they both hid a sharp edge.

"..."

Jiang Huashan twitched the corner of his mouth and was about to laugh at Shen Guiling's hypocrisy, but suddenly he thought of something and his eyes lit up.

Isn't Shen Lanxi's arrival just in time? This guy is old-fashioned and adheres to dogma. He will definitely not allow anything to happen between her and Shen Guiling. So as long as Shen Lanxi is there to check and balance Shen Guiling, Shen Guiling can't do anything to her.

As for the 99.99% progress bar, she also wanted to let it go. If conditions permit, she would grab it. If not, she would withdraw. After digesting Bai Zheng's information, she would quickly look for new plots. She couldn't be blinded by the poor little tasks.

I won’t explain or respond to what happened tonight. Although it’s a bit despicable, that’s how love is. You cheat on me and I cheat on you. After being cheated on you so many times, you get used to it.

"Now that you're here, why are you standing there like an idiot? Come in!"

After figuring it out, Jiang Huashan, contrary to her usual behavior, attentively brought a pair of cotton slippers to Shen Lanxi and said, "Don't be polite. Just treat it as your own home."

Shen Lanxi was a little confused, but when she saw that her smile was sincere and didn't seem fake, the indifference in her eyes instantly warmed up.

Jiang Huashan grinned and turned to meet Shen Guiling's scrutinizing gaze. The provocation in his eyes became even stronger. He even deliberately brushed past the corner of his clothes as he passed by him.

Shen Guiling smiled.

Shen Lanxi changed her shoes and walked into the living room. Hundreds of scented candles decorated the night sky like a galaxy of stars. The entire large living room seemed to be covered with a layer of ambiguous white gauze, filled with a faint sweet fragrance.

"..."

The emotions that had just warmed up instantly sank into the depths of her eyes, and Shen Lanxi turned to look at Shen Guiling.

Shen Guiling seemed unaware of his emotions. She went to the bar, poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Shen Lanxi.

"Brother Lan Xi, you've had a hard journey. Have a drink of water."

From beginning to end, Shen Guiling behaved with grace and grace, like a warm and hospitable younger brother.

Shen Lanxi took the cup of water without showing any emotion, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

The two maintained a peace like a sword.

Shen Guiling turned and walked towards the living room. When she passed by the pillow on the ground, she picked it up and threw it onto the sofa bed in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Ouch~!

A gleam flashed in Ghat’s eyes.

This atmosphere! This stage effect! These two must be having an affair!

Jiang Huashan is really too much. The young master travels day and night to find her, but she hangs out with other pretty boys. This is trampling on the young master's sincerity!

What can be tolerated by scholars?

Gao Zhi looked at Shen Lanxi indignantly, "Master..."

Scold her! Scold her to death! If I keep swallowing this anger, won’t I never be able to turn things around and suffer the pain of love for the rest of my life?

Shen Lanxi interrupted him calmly, "Shut up."

"..."

Bah! You deserve this love pain! Noob!

The living room was shadowy.

Shen Lanxi walked into the living room holding a glass of water and sat opposite Shen Guiling. The light and shadow used the coffee table in the middle as the boundary between light and dark, dividing the two into black and white.

Shen Guiling spoke first, "Brother Lan Xi, why didn't you tell me beforehand that you were coming to Nanwan? This makes me seem neglectful."

Shen Lanxi, "I came to South Bay to deal with something that's a bit tricky. I won't be returning to Whale Harbor for the time being. I might have to trouble you in the next few days."

Jiang Huashan stood in front of the fireplace fiddling with candles, seemingly unintentionally.

"It's no big deal for a family. I have a room here. As long as Brother Lan Xi doesn't mind, you can stay as long as you want."

Shen Lanxi nodded and looked around casually, "What's going on with these candles?"

Jiang Huashan couldn't help but twist her neck and silently pricked up her ears to eavesdrop.

Shen Guiling, "Brother Lan Xi, have you had dinner?"

Shen Lanxi was naturally not stupid enough to regard this as concern, and she waited calmly for what would happen next.

Shen Guiling, "Shanshan has been clamoring for steak just now. If Brother Lan Xi hasn't eaten yet, we can eat together."

"puff--"

Jiang Huashan blew out a candle.

Shen Guiling was telling Shen Lanxi that lighting candles was for eating steak and having a candlelight dinner.

But what he said happened to be the truth, and Jiang Huashan couldn't even refute it.

Shen Lanxi didn't react much. She lowered her head and drank a sip of warm water. "I didn't eat it."

Gao Zhi, who was hiding in the dark, rolled his eyes silently. Was the dinner fed to the dog?

"Then let's do it together. I'll go prepare it and you guys chat first." Shen Guiling stood up and walked straight to the kitchen.

Jiang Huashan was full of doubts. As soon as Shen Guiling left, she sat on the sofa and asked, "Brother Lan Xi, what happened to the Su family? What about Su Miao? Did she go back?"

Shen Lanxi now had no interest in the Su family or Su Miao, and glanced indifferently at the candle on her coffee table.

Jiang Huashan immediately explained, "This is what Mo Ran ordered. Isn't there a power outage? It's easier to see this way."

The words fell.

"drop--"

The whole room was powered on, and the suddenly bright light almost blinded Jiang Huashan's eyes. Even Shen Lanxi squinted her eyes uncomfortably.

The silence was deafening again.

Jiang Huashan suddenly realized something and turned to look at the kitchen. What a bastard!

Doesn't this clearly tell Shen Lanxi that these candlelights are not simple?

Shen Lanxi put down the water cup, stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

"?"

Jiang Huashan's expression moved slightly, and his eyes followed Shen Lanxi's back closely.

Is he going to teach Shen Guiling a lesson? Is Shen Lanxi really that reliable?

the other side.

As soon as Shen Guiling put the iron pot on the table, Shen Lanxi appeared at the kitchen door. Their eyes met briefly and then looked away calmly.

This time, Shen Lanxi spoke first, "Is there anything I can help with?"

Shen Guiling pointed to the fruit bowl in the west kitchen area and said, "Squeeze a glass of strawberry juice for Jiang Huashan?"

Shen Lanxi nodded, unbuttoned her cuffs, and slowly rolled up her shirt.

The two of them occupied their respective areas, turned their backs to each other and did not interfere with each other.

Jiang Huashan lay on the sofa and carefully observed the enemy situation. After waiting for a long time, she didn't hear any movement inside. Instead, the sound of a juicer was inexplicably heard.

The atmosphere is a little weird.

Judging from the attitude Shen Guiling had just used when speaking, how could Shen Lanxi not see the trick?

Fake siblings are still siblings, so why doesn't Shen Lanxi stop them? Why doesn't she criticize them?

Instead of teaching Shen Guiling a lesson, he went to squeeze juice???

Kicked in the brain by a donkey?

In the previous life, Grandpa forced Shen Lanxi to marry her. The reason this guy used most often was that he couldn't marry his own sister, which was incestuous.

How come he can accept someone else now?

Jiang Huashan suddenly thought of something and blew out the candle in front of her.

I understand, I just don’t love you.

……

Ten minutes later, a mouth-watering aroma of meat and fat wafted from the kitchen.

Shen Guiling came out of the kitchen carrying a decorated steak. Three exquisite porcelain plates and three sets of gold cutlery had already been set on the rectangular dining table. Soon, Shen Lanxi's strawberry juice was ready. He had rarely been in the kitchen and wasn't familiar with the juicer's functions, so it took a while.

Shen Guiling put the food on plates, and Shen Lanxi placed the strawberry juice in front of the middle dining chair. They both looked up at Jiang Huashan at the same time.

"come over."

"..."

Jiang Huashan suddenly felt an indescribable weirdness, but the two men's eyes were so serious that she couldn't tell what was strange.

Shen Guiling pulled out the dining chair very gentlemanly. Seeing her standing there motionless, he pretended to be puzzled, "What's wrong? No appetite?"

Shen Lanxi's hand holding the knife handle paused.

I have no appetite. Is it because there is no candlelight or because there is one more person?

"Eating while sleeping makes you fat. You two can eat. I'm going back to sleep first."

After a night of fear and fear, how could she have the mood to eat? She didn't know why she always had a bad feeling. Now that Shen Lanxi didn't help her, dinner for the three of them should be avoided if possible.

While speaking, Jiang Huashan was secretly observing Shen Lanxi's reaction, but Shen Lanxi didn't react at all, and was even too lazy to look up at her.

Sure enough, this guy is not reliable at all.

Jiang Huashan had an idea in mind. She yawned deliberately, said goodbye and went back to her room.

Shen Guiling didn't mind her sudden change of heart at all. She looked up at Shen Lanxi and said, "Brother Lanxi, after we finish eating, I'll take you to see the room."

Gao Zhi stepped forward at the right moment and said, "Master, shall I go and tidy up the room first?"

Shen Guiling is from the second house, and Nanwan is Shen Qian's territory. Gao Zhi originally disagreed with Shen Lanxi coming to Nanwan, but she couldn't resist the young master who insisted on committing suicide.

Shen Lanxi put down the cutlery and wiped her mouth with a tissue. "No, you're not needed here. You can arrange your own things these few days."

Gao Zhi frowned. Since the day he started protecting Shen Lanxi, the two of them have never been separated. In the past, he would have slept in the living room.

Shen Guiling took the initiative to speak, "There is also a nanny room at home..."

Before he could finish, Shen Lanxi directly refused, "No, it's not convenient."

How is it inconvenient? Gao Zhi was about to refute, but suddenly he thought of something and looked unlucky!

Got it!

So, with Jiang Huashan, he's become an outsider, right? Inconvenient~ Why didn't you say it was inconvenient when you were ordering people around before? A traitorous young master!

Shen Lanxi raised her eyes, "Do you have anything to say?"

Gao Zhi shook his head grimly, "No."

Shen Guiling saw the right moment to put down the cutlery and wiped the corners of his mouth with a face towel. "I'm full. Let's ask the manager to go with us to check out the room. The guest room was prepared temporarily, so there are bound to be some imperfections. Let me know if there's anything missing."

Shen Lanxi did not refuse. She stood up and picked up the strawberry juice on the table very naturally.

*

"Huh~~~ Taking a nice hot bath in winter is truly the most comfortable thing. Only a fool would just stare blankly with them."

Jiang Huashan slumped back in the bathtub with her eyes closed, her legs occasionally paddling in the foam. After soaking for twenty minutes, she finally shook off her fatigue. She changed into black lace pajamas, crawled into bed, and prepared for a good night's sleep.

It was very strange. Normally, she could fall asleep as soon as she got into bed, but for some reason today, she didn't feel sleepy at all. Jiang Huashan suddenly felt inexplicably anxious. After tossing and turning for several times, she finally gave up resisting and sat up hugging the pillow.

"The arch of your foot was almost bent into a C last night."

Her expression shifted slightly as she lifted half the quilt and gently lifted one leg. This leg was white and straight, from the hip line to the ankle, from the bone structure to the skin texture, every part was the Creator's preference.

Jiang Huashan stared at it for a while, then straightened her toes and slowly pressed down. Just as she made a shallow bend, her instep began to ache.

"..."

Shen Guiling is a liar.

After realizing that she had been deceived, her first reaction was anger, but when she saw her toes stretched straight, she immediately slapped her forehead in frustration and quickly pulled her legs into the quilt.

Did she get kicked in the head by a donkey? Is this kind of thing worth serious investigation?

Jiang Huashan held her forehead with her hand. It was all Mo Ran's fault for lighting too many candles. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so crazy and risked her own life by slashing Shen Guiling twice. Now, if this layer of window paper was to fall off, who knew what that dead green tea turtle would do?

No! Jiang Huashan gritted her teeth and straightened her back. Shen Guiling was now a fish in her pond, a fish with a 99.99% chance of survival. What was there for her to be afraid of? If anyone was afraid, it should be Shen Guiling who was afraid of her.

Oops! Too many distracting thoughts and I can’t sleep!

Jiang Huashan picked up her cell phone, leaned against the back of the bed and slowly slid into the quilt. Suddenly, her fingertips slipped and she clicked on the chat interface between her and Su Miao.

Their conversation still lingered on Su Miao's birthday.

The turbulent emotions were suddenly dispelled. Jiang Huashan's expression was serious, and his fingertips tapped the phone screen lightly. "I wonder how Su Miao is doing now?"

How did the Su family finally resolve the issue between her and Su Yun?

*

What Jiang Huashan didn’t know was that not only she couldn’t sleep tonight, but the people in the other two rooms also couldn’t sleep.

Shen Guiling stared at the scented candles on the bedside, the flickering candlelight illuminating his deep eyes.

Can't sleep.

His mind was now filled with the image of Jiang Huashan standing on tiptoe and kissing him gently. The scene played out again and again in his mind. He suddenly felt fortunate to have a profound memory. Even though it was only a memory of less than three seconds, he was able to engrave an eternal picture in his mind.

Just don't think about sleeping tonight.

Shen Lanxi couldn't sleep either. She leaned on the balcony and looked at the harbor opposite. The orange starlight connected the sea and the sky.

The night wind was cold, and the glass of strawberry juice was covered with frost.

It's not that he didn't notice the strangeness between Jiang Huashan and Shen Guiling, nor did he not care about what happened in this room before he came.

He was just restraining himself.

Restrain yourself from being jealous, because jealousy is an emotion he doesn't like.

But now he knows that if you like someone, you will be jealous.

*

Meanwhile in Whale Harbor.

Su Miao was staring at the same chat interface in a daze.

She only found out after she came back that on the day of the accident, Jiang Huashan called her many times and sent her countless messages, the most repeated of which was, "Don't believe Su Yun and where you are."

In fact, only three days had passed since her birthday, but for some reason, she felt as if she was in another world.

During these three days, Su Miao stayed in the hospital and did not return to the Su family. Su's mother visited her twice and persuaded her to go home both times, but she refused on the grounds of feeling unwell.

It's very strange. She was always afraid that the Su family wouldn't want her, but now she's afraid to go back to the Su family.

"Ding-dong-"

At this moment, two messages popped up in the chat box in succession.

The first one is a landmark location link.

The second one is Jiang Huashan’s invitation.

【Little trash, come and relax~】

……

Hahahaha, you said I wrote pure love, that's right! I saw a reader post on Xiaohongshu complaining about my last book, saying the colors were too strong, yellow for the sake of yellow. I accept the opinion, so I plan to gradually transition to a better and more romantic book for this one~ So, relax, babies~
