Chapter 173 Extra: Little Star
Ever since Li Ran came back from the imperial capital, the time of his appearance had been getting longer and longer.
The number of times he appeared also increased.
Every morning when Chu Chen got up, he still saw a new little star beside his pillow.
This habit, even though both of them had returned from the front line, Chu Chen knew that the person who sent the little stars was Li Ran, and there was a small note inside. He also talked about this matter with Li Ran, and Li Ran still sent it rain, hail or shine.
Early that morning, Chu Chen saw the little blue star next to his pillow again.
He sighed softly and turned to look at Li Ran.
Li Ran hadn't woken up yet.
Last night, he was so provoked by Chu Chen's words "It seems like you're really not good", so they kept doing it until Chu Chen couldn't get up.
As the saying goes, a cow may die from overwork, but a field will not be ruined from being plowed.
[只有累死的牛，没有耕坏的地 Zhǐyǒu lèi sǐ de niú, méiyǒu gēng huài dì dì: lit. A cow may die from overwork, but a field will not be ruined from being plowed; warning people to cherish and rationally use resources, avoid waste or overuse, and achieve sustainable development]
Li Ran "died from overwork".
In the end, even though it was like this, he still folded the little star out of nowhere and placed it next to Chu Chen's pillow.
Isn’t this too ceremonial?
Chu Chen felt helpless and reached out to pinch Li Ran's cheek.
Li Ran frowned, but soon opened his blue eyes because of Chu Chen's disturbance. He narrowed his eyes, stretched out his long arm, and hugged Chu Chen in front of him into his arms. He put his lips close to Chu Chen's ear and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why did you wake up so early?"
Chu Chen: " Because I'm good at it. "
Li Ran: "..."
There was a look of helplessness on Li Ran's face, but he didn't reply. Instead, he patted Chu Chen as if nothing had happened and said, "Are you going to continue to sleep?"
"I'm not sleepy anymore. If you are sleepy, just sleep a little longer."
"Then let's get up and wash up together."
Chu Chen: "Yeah."
The two got off the bed and went to the bathroom. They stood together and brushed their teeth in unison. Chu Chen thought about the little star and said vaguely: "I saw the little star this morning. When did you fold it?" "
Li Ran paused, lowered his eyes, and said, "Last night."
Chu Chen: "?"
Although Chu Chen had already guessed it, he still pretended to be angry: "What's going on? You clearly said you were tired last night, how could you still have the strength to fold the little star? Tell me, are you deliberately perfunctory and don't want to do that with me? But it was clearly you who took the initiative last night... or do you actually have someone else in your heart? "
The voice sounded more and more aggrieved.
Li Ran: "...No."
He added, "Only you."
Chu Chen curled his lips.
After he watched Li Ran go downstairs, he sat on the bedside and carefully took apart the little star.
Sure enough, there was small note in it.
Still those three words - I love you.
Chu Chen went downstairs with a small note.
Li Ran was sitting on the sofa, seemingly having a meeting with Fen Yan's people.
Chu Chen sat aside and waited for a while. Seeing that they wouldn't end the meeting for a long time, he simply went to cook. When he came out of the kitchen, he asked Li Ran to sit at the dining table, and then pushed the small note in front of Li Ran.
Li Ran glanced at it: "What?"
Chu Chen complained: "Look at my hands."
The fingertips were all red.
Accidentally got burned while cooking.
"Because I know you like to put small notes in the little stars, so every time I received a little star, I couldn't help but open it. In the end, I only get a twisted hose, a small piece of paper, and a pair of red hands. "
Chu Chen said deliberately, "Isn't it quite difficult when you fold it?"
Li Ran was silent for a while and said, "Well, I'm sorry."
"You don't need to apologize. I'm not telling you this just to hear your apology."
Chu Chen stretched out his hand and held Li Ran's hand, "In the future, can you express your thoughts directly and tell me you love me without sending small notes? Although sending small notes is very romantic, there are some things I still want to hear from you in person. In this way, I can put the little stars you fold for me into a glass jar intact and keep them. "
Li Ran was silent again.
After a while, he said: "Okay."
Although it sounded like he was unwilling.
In any case, there was still improvement.
If a hedgehog can stick out a little bit of its fingers from its spines, it means it can still communicate.
As long as you have enough patience, you will eventually be able to soften the other person.
Chu Chen had already begun to imagine that after a while, he could turn the hedgehog over and expose its pink belly. He could bury his face in it openly without worrying about being stabbed.
Cool.
Chu Chen's lips curled up, he stood up directly and kissed Li Ran on the face: "Li Ran is awesome."
Li Ran glanced at Chu Chen.
Chu Chen smiled. After talking about a serious matter, he started to become less serious again, he said jokingly: "What's wrong? What are you looking at me for? I praise you, aren't you happy?"
Before Li Ran could answer, Chu Chen said again, "Or do you prefer to hear me say this in bed?"
Li Ran was startled, and his ears immediately turned red.
He lowered his head and continued eating, after a while he said softly, "Don't make trouble."
Chu Chen couldn't help but laugh.
It’s so fun to tease Ran Ran!
As for the other two…
Li Yu would probably put it into practice directly and let him feel the feeling of realizing what he just said.
As for Li Fen...that's all.
The next day, Chu Chen stared at the little star in his hand in a daze.
There was a small strip of paper stuffed into the hose inside the little star. It was difficult to find unless the little star was disassembled. Chu Chen was afraid that Li Ran was just perfunctory, he promised something but didn't do it.
After hesitating for a moment, Chu Chen couldn't help but secretly open it, and was relieved when he saw that it was empty inside.
It seemed that Li Ran didn't lie to him.
Chu Chen happily folded the little star again and put it into the glass jar in the study.
