"Okay, I'm willing to move in. Thank you for taking me in."
Xiao Ci lowered her head, her voice barely audible.
Lan Tianyu watched from the side, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.
Tian Xin's apartment wasn't very big, and having another person move in would inevitably cause a lot of inconvenience.
But seeing Tian Xin's pitying gaze, and looking at Xiao Ci with her head down, clutching the hem of her skirt tightly, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to voice her objections.
This is Tian Xin's house after all; she has the right to decide, so let her do as she pleases.
Besides, Xiao Ci does need someone to take care of her.
"Xiao Ci, please stay in the guest room. I'll tidy it up in a bit."
Lan Tianyu spoke up, which was considered an acceptance of the arrangement.
Tian Xin was very happy to see that her lover did not object.
She chatted with Xiao Ci for a few more minutes, then suddenly slapped her forehead:
"Oh dear, I was so busy talking that I forgot to cook the vegetables in the pot."
After saying that, she rushed into the kitchen, leaving Lan Tianyu and Xiao Ci in the living room.
The two sat on the sofa, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward because no one spoke.
"Cough cough~ˇ."
Lan Tianyu coughed lightly, breaking the dull atmosphere.
He picked up the remote control from the table and handed it to Xiao Ci. "Want to watch TV?"
"Look."
Xiao Ci took the remote control, but secretly hated herself for being cowardly.
I had a chance to be alone with the older man, but I didn't know what to say.
To be honest, the two had only met three times in total, and were not very familiar with each other.
Feeling irritable, I randomly pressed a station and turned the volume up a bit.
Feeling a little bored, Lan Tianyu started watching variety shows.
I must say, it's a good way to pass the time.
Time passed bit by bit.
Xiao Ci opened her cherry lips, trying several times to say something, but she could never find a topic to talk about.
I was stuck on this for half an hour.
Tian Xin had already prepared dinner and invited the two of them to sit down.
Although the two ate a bowl of large intestine noodles at the Broken Heart Man's place, they were not full.
Dinner was prepared in a bit of a rush, but Tian Xin's cooking skills were quite good, and the three of them ate quietly at the small dining table.
After the meal, Tian Xin acted swiftly, immediately pulling Lan Tianyu out the door and heading straight for a nearby large shopping mall.
"Xiao Ci, you rest for a bit, we'll go buy you some daily necessities and a change of clothes."
Tian Xin's soft, sweet voice still echoed in the hallway.
More than an hour later, the two returned carrying large and small bags.
Tian Xin immediately transformed into a tidying expert, quickly tidying up the spacious guest room.
Lay out brand-new sheets and blankets, and neatly arrange the newly bought clothes and toiletries.
The once quiet guest rooms were instantly filled with a lively atmosphere.
At this point, Xiao Ci officially settled into Tian Xin's apartment.
However, with one more person, the rhythm of life inevitably changed.
The most obvious change is that Lan Tianyu and Tian Xin had to tone down their natural, intimate interactions.
A casual hug, a light kiss on the forehead, or even snuggling together on the sofa watching TV...
Because of Xiao Ci's presence, they all became cautious and even deliberately avoided each other.
Before we knew it, it was past nine o'clock at night.
"Xiao Ci, you've had a long day. Go take a hot shower and get some rest."
Tian Xin looked at Xiao Ci, who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, and urged her gently.
Xiao Ci was indeed feeling physically and mentally exhausted.
She nodded obediently, picked up the pajamas Tian Xin had bought for her, and went into the bathroom.
The warm water washed over my body, taking away the day's fatigue and sadness, but it couldn't wash away the inexplicable bitterness in my heart.
When she dried herself off, changed into clean and comfortable pajamas, and walked out of the bathroom.
The living room was empty except for a warm wall lamp.
Her gaze involuntarily drifted toward the door to the master bedroom.
Faint, low voices could be heard coming from inside.
Xiao Ci's heart sank suddenly, as if she had been hit hard by something.
Although she was simple-minded and inexperienced in worldly affairs.
But the girl's intuition and instincts made her vaguely understand what was happening or about to happen behind that tightly closed door.
The sense of loss became even heavier, several times stronger than when they heard that Lan Tianyu was going to live with Tian Xin.
She even felt her eyes getting hot.
She practically fled as she quickly walked into her own room.
She slammed the door shut behind her and then pounced onto the newly made bed, which still smelled of sunshine.
Her pretty face was buried deep in the soft pillow, and the strong sleepiness she had felt earlier had vanished without a trace.
The image of Lan Tianyu uncontrollably appeared in my mind.
His strength and reliability when he saved himself.
His silent companionship as he helped with his grandmother's funeral arrangements.
His composure and decisiveness in arranging her schooling.
And his deep, all-seeing eyes.
Why do I have this feeling?
Why does my heart ache so much when I see that tightly closed door?
It's perfectly normal for someone as good and strong as him to have a beautiful and gentle girlfriend.
She was just a helpless little girl who knew nothing.
Her chaotic thoughts overwhelmed her, and her heart was filled with an inexplicable sense of inferiority.
Tears silently soaked the pillowcase.
However, physical exhaustion ultimately overwhelmed his turbulent emotions.
She experienced so much today, and the immense strain has pushed her young body to its limits.
As she cried, Xiao Ci's breathing gradually became steady and long, and her tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
My chaotic thoughts were abruptly cut off by a deep sleep.
With a heart full of bitterness and still wet with tears, she fell into a deep sleep.
……
master bedroom.
Tian Xin nestled in Lan Tianyu's arms, listening to each other's steady heartbeats.
After a while.
A wisp of Yin and Yang energy was quietly born, half of which remained in Tian Xin's body, while the other half flowed back into Lan Tianyu's body.
The two looked at each other.
Lan Tianyu immediately circulated his internal energy and began to refine this energy.
Tian Xin closed her beautiful eyes and silently felt her body getting stronger little by little.
In a few breaths, the wisp of Yin and Yang energy transformed into pure internal force, increasing Lan Tianyu's combat power index by 200 points.
Lan Tianyu, still somewhat unsatisfied, used the spell [Six Eyes] to observe Tian Xin's condition.
The originally abundant pure Yin energy has now become extremely thin.
He sighed inwardly at the pity, then quickly gathered all his thoughts.
"Honey, you should go to sleep first. I still need to cultivate later."
Lan Tianyu's hand unconsciously caressed the long, white-stockinged legs that were wrapped around his waist, the touch delicate and smooth.
Tian Xin was indeed a little tired. She yawned slightly and kicked off her white stilettos.
Holding onto Lan Tianyu's arm, she quickly drifted off to sleep.
Seeing this, Lan Tianyu sat down cross-legged, concentrated his mind and calmed his breath, and began to cultivate.
The next day.
early morning.
Lan Tianyu slowly opened his eyes and calmed himself down.
With a slight thought, he brought up the system panel that only he could see.

Lan Tianyu did a quick mental calculation and found that the luck collection efficiency had reached 2800%.
Compared to the previous 2500%, efficiency has increased by approximately 1.12 times!
Compared to yesterday's combat power index of 28220 points, it surged by 350 points overnight after a night of intensive training.
"When we did the statistics before, it took about two and a half days to collect enough luck."
"If we calculate it now, it will only take two days plus three or four hours to get it done."
"The speed is getting slower and slower as we go on. I wonder when we'll be able to shorten the time to one day."
"Being able to fish in the heavens once a day, that would be truly awesome."
As Lan Tianyu pondered this in his heart, Tian Xin beside him slowly woke up.
Good morning, darling.
She smiled sweetly, stood up, and wrapped her arms around Lan Tianyu's neck.
"Good morning."
Lan Tianyu responded with a comment, then leaned in and kissed Tian Xin's soft, cherry-like lips.
The two cuddled and whispered sweet nothings for a while before getting up.
Lan Tianyu couldn't bear to part with the long, white-stockinged legs in his arms, so he simply picked Tian Xin up in a strong princess carry and headed straight for the bathroom.
