You're My Only Star

Chapter 217 - Mr. Fluffball's Mischievous Act



Lu An Ran returned home and was surprised to see that her brother's car was not at its usual place. When she walked inside, the house was very quiet. No matter how many times she called him out, no one had answered her.

She placed the shopping bags on the table and took out her phone to text her brother.

"Brother, are you still at the office?"

His reply came a few seconds after that. Lu An Ran read the message and the corner of her lips began to twitch.

She had dropped Song Xing Xing at her apartment half an hour ago. Why didn't she see her brother's car parked outside the apartment?

Thinking that the couple was going to spend their time together, Lu An Ran put down her phone and grabbed her bags to her room.

Meanwhile, Lu Xun slid his phone back into his pocket after he had sent his reply to his sister..

At his side, the grey cat was lying lazily on the couch. The cat closed his eyes as Lu Xun continued to scratch his head. Thinking that the cat was probably sleeping, Lu Xun stood up and head over to the kitchen.

The expression on his face softened as he watched his girlfriend stand in front of the stove.

The moment he arrived at her place, he had playfully told her that he was hungry. Then, the girlfriend who had gone out with his shopping maniac sister went to the kitchen to make something for him.

Lu Xun had tried to stop her by saying that he could grab something at his place. However, the girl had insisted for him to stay as she whip something quickly for him.

It would be a lie to say that he was not touched by her action.

A soft sigh escaped him. Lu Xun really wanted to kidnap this girl to his place.

Song Xing Xing walked into the dining area carrying a bowl of hot dumpling soup. She looked up at Lu Xun and waved her hand at him. "Come on. Let's eat before the food gets cold." She sat across him and propped her elbow on the table, planning to watch as he eat.

Seeing her expecting gaze, Lu Xun sat down and took a mouthful of the dumpling soup. The filling burst into his mouth. It tasted very fresh and delicious. He could not help but take another mouthful of that soup.

The smile on Song Xing Xing's lips widened as she watched him continue to eat the soup she made.

"My sister is heading back to C Country this Sunday. Xing Xing, why don't you accompany me to the airport?"

"I thought that she was going to stay around for a while longer." Song Xing Xing sighed. "Alright." She quickly agreed. "I'll go with you."

It has not been a long time since she knew Lu An Ran but during their short interaction, Song Xing Xing found that Lu Xun's sister was really easy to get along with.

It felt as if she had only met Lu An Ran yesterday. Song Xing Xing did not expect that she will be leaving so soon.

"Her flight is in the afternoon. Then, I will pick you up a couple of hours before that."

"It's fine. I can head to your place in the morning."

Lu Xun sent her an inquiring look.

"It has been a while since I tasted Auntie Wei's cooking. Let me go over and freeload breakfast from you."

Lu Xun laughed. It seemed that his initial plan to seduce this girl with food had worked. It was rare for her to volunteer to come to his place. Lu Xun was overjoyed. But he also knew that his sister was the reason why Song Xing Xing wanted to come to his place.

He quickly made a mental note to let Auntie Wei prepare a lot of Song Xing Xing's favorite food.

"Next time, when my parents return from their research, let's go to C Country together," Lu Xun said. "We can visit An Ran and Jia Xuan."

The thought of meeting Lu Xun's parents made her a little anxious. She did not know whether his parents were going to like her.

"Alright." Song Xing Xing nodded. "When the time comes, boss, you have to let them approve my vacation."

Lu Xun stretched his hand to pinch her cheek.

After he had finished his meal, Song Xing Xing went to the living room while Lu Xun cleaned up the table and do the dishes.

Usually, Song Xing Xing would insist on doing them on her own. But after going out shopping with Lu An Ran, her legs were aching and she was too lazy to take another step.

Song Xing Xing lay down on the couch with the television on. Then, Mr. Fluffball jumped up and joined her at the side.

When Lu Xun came out of the kitchen, Song Xing Xing was already fast asleep on the couch. The cat was sitting on top of her chest with his eyes closed.

Lu Xun was startled upon stumbling into the scene in front of him. The way his girlfriend and the cat were sleeping together was a little adorable. Lu Xun took out his phone and snapped a few pictures of them together.

A sigh escaped him knowing that Song Xing Xing was too tired after accompanying his sister to shop.

Just as she was planning to carry her back to her bedroom, Song Xing Xing suddenly struggled and sobbed in her sleep. He did not know what she was dreaming about but Lu Xun thought that it should not be anything good.

Lu Xun shooed the cat away from her. Then, he stretched his hand and patted her cheek slowly while calling out her name a few times. "Xing Xing?"

Song Xing Xing finally opened her eyes with a jolt. It took her a while before she finally saw Lu Xun in front of her. Her chest heaved and her breathing was a little unstable. "Lu Xun?"

"Are you alright?"

Song Xing Xing took a few deep breaths to calm down and nodded. She wiped her face with her hand and sat up. "I thought I was having sleep paralysis. I don't know what I was dreaming about but suddenly, I cannot move around. There's this feeling as if something heavy was pressing on my chest." She flashed him an assuring smile and spoke, "Don't worry. This happened a few times."

Lu Xun recalled the scene he had witnessed earlier and chuckled. "It's not sleep paralysis. It's Mr. Fluffball." He took out his phone and showed the picture that he had shot earlier.

The moment she saw the picture where Mr. Fluffball was sitting on her chest, her expression changed. Song Xing Xing narrowed her eyes dangerously as she looked at her cat. 

All this while, she had thought that she was experiencing sleep paralysis! It turned out that it was just Mr. Fluffball's mischievous act!

Mr. Fluffball seemed to notice the hint of hostility in his master's eyes. He turned to Song Xing Xing and blinked innocently. "Meow."
