Chapter 41 - A crack on the jade (1)
Today Lu Jue had on a bright red underwear with large blue flowers!
The color could hurt one’s eyes. It was both loud and crude. Lucky Lu Jue had a nice body and was able to handle the floral color combination.
Ning Zhi walked over to him and, startled by the bulge on him, quickly averted her eyes.
“Put your clothes back on!” said Ning Zhi as she pulled the blanket over Lu Jue.
Meeting Lu Jue’s clear and limpid eyes, Ning Zhi let out a sigh. She knew that autistic individuals do not have the concept of sex nor a sense of shyness.
Lu Jue’s lips were pinched shut. No more little suns appeared inside of his indicator.
He wanted to flip the blanket over.
Ning Zhi quickly walked up and held it down. “Put your clothes back on first.”
Lu Jue’s eyelids were thin. With some alcohol in him, there were a pink color. His straight and long lashes shuddered. “Hot, me.”
I am hot.
Albeit looking tender, the words coming from Ning Zhi was cruel. “Just put up with it. You will feel better once the alcohol subsides.”
It crossed Ning Zhi’s mind that she would let him experience some discomfort. That way he would learn of some evilness in this world and see if he would have alcohol again next time. Then she recalled that Lu Jue was bullied a lot as a child and he had already experienced too much evilness.
Ning Zhi stroked his burning cheek and said, “I will take you with me wherever I go next time.”
His lips pinched shut, Lu Jue grunted as though he was not feeling very comfortable.
With the outline from the blanket, she seemed to be able to see the stirring beneath the blanket.
Ning Zhi turned her head away. Hearing the soft rustling noises, the redness rose from her neck up and even the tips of her ears turned red.
She felt extremely ashamed.
Her hand that was holding onto the blanket never let go of it. She finally turned her head back when she heard a soft grunt coming from next to her.
Meeting Lu Jue’s blank and clear eyes, she felt as though she had been burned and quickly let go of the blanket.
Ning Zhi stood up and tightened her dried lips a little. “It’s getting late. We need to head out. Put your clothes back on quickly.”
There were sweat on Lu Jue’s forehead and desire in his pitch-black eyes mixed with some blankness. He did not say anything after hearing what Ning Zhi had said but put his clothes back on quietly.

Mother Lu had just gotten back from the auction when Ning Zhi and Lu Jue got home.
Mother Lu was very happy when she saw her son standing quietly next to Ning Zhi. Her son had been going out with Ning Zhi more frequently lately. Unlike the last 6 months where he had stayed home mostly, refusing to go out.
Seeing her son in his red suit looking both handsome and lively, the smile on Mother Lu thickened.
After Mother Lu had the servant fetch them tea, she wanted to hold her son’s and brought him over to where the couch was. But Lu Jue avoided her before she could even come into contact with her.
He started walking upstairs with his head lowered.
Noticing the lonely look in Mother Lu’s eyes, Ning Zhi took Mother Lu’s outreached hand and said, “I’m tired too, Ma. Let me sit with you for a little while.”
Mother Lu patted Ning Zhi on her hand and said, “That’s why everyone said that daughters are like a snuggly-fitted little cotton jacket. It’s so much better to have daughters.”
“I’m not a little cotton jacket.” Sitting down with Mother Lu on the couch, Ning Zhi said in an appeasing way, “I am a sweet cotton candy.”
Mother Lu paused a little, then busted out laughing. Ning Zhi was a sweet talker. No wonder Lu Jue would listen to her.
“How did Xiao Jue do at the banquet today?” Lu Jue was what Mother Lu cared about the most.
“He is less nervous in a crowded place now. Maybe a little nervous at the beginning. But he will start to relax after a little while if there is someone familiar there with him.”
Even though Ning Zhi didn’t spell it out, but Mother Lu knew that the “familiar person” could only be Ning Zhi. “Thank you for your hard work.”
