Chapter Ten: On a stormy night, Tang Jie stood in front of Pei Lu's room, holding a pillow in his arms.

I don't know if it's Pei Lu's illusion or not, but Pei Lu always feels that Tang Jie's attitude towards him seems to be slowly changing, as if he is probing something. He keeps encroaching on his territory and even tries to carve his name on all of it, leaving his own mark.

Just like a wild beast fiercely protecting its territory, possessiveness is extremely strong.

Although Pei Lv had doubts, he did not ask about them, nor did he reveal anything. As a result, the two of them continued to advance and retreat, with Tang Jie constantly encroaching on his territory, while he unconditionally made concessions.

Tang Jie did not have the love and care of parents. Suddenly, he encountered such a person. It was like a drowning person grabbing hold of a piece of driftwood. He desperately wanted to hold onto that driftwood. Or perhaps it was his hope and dawn. Wherever Pei Lv went, it was within his line of sight. His gaze often revolved around Pei Lv, and his eyes unknowingly only looked at Pei Lv alone.

Because he had never been loved or cared for, he treasured this sudden feeling and was also very curious. It was as if he were a playful child, trying to find ways to catch the attention of adults, always wanting to let Pei Lu know whether it was something good or bad.

When he spoke, Pei Lv would listen attentively, as if he were listening to a lecture, truly and earnestly. This gave him a great sense of satisfaction, and the feeling of being valued and cherished made him very happy. As a result, he began to constantly encroach further, and even attempted to enter Pei Lv's world.

Regarding all of this, Pei Lu simply chose to turn a blind eye and not take it too seriously, treating the other party as a child and constantly accommodating them.

At first, Pei Lu could tolerate it, but... until this evening, Tang Jie appeared at the door of his room, holding a pillow.

The door was knocked, and although the sound was small, it still startled Pei Lu. He opened his eyes and heard a roll of thunder in his ears. He didn't know when it had started raining outside his window. The sound of rain hitting the window was somewhat unbearable.

Pei Lv turned on the light, put on the glasses beside him, and walked up to the door to open it.

At this time, Tang Jie was still an eighteen-year-old youth, thin and slender in stature. His face still bore a hint of youthful inexperience, but one could vaguely make out his future appearance. I remember that shameless author in "Ran Ran Is a Big Boss" wrote something like this in the book.

Tang Jie's appearance was not inferior to the protagonist in the book, but his personality was abnormal and he had psychological issues. Most importantly, he was a pervert. Because of this, he did not possess the protagonist's halo and was not loved by the readers.

Pei Lu was deeply impressed by this. It could be seen from this that the young man in front of him would grow into an extraordinary appearance in a few years. Just thinking about it, he was filled with anticipation.

"Pei Lu..." The young boy stood at his door, clutching a pillow and wearing the slippers he had bought for him. Fear and terror lingered in his eyes. Behind him was an endless darkness, with only the small cluster of light from the lamp on the bedside table illuminating half of the boy's face.

"Why are you up?" Pei Lu pulled Tang Jie inside and felt his fingers. Tang Jie's fingers were cold, and not only his fingers, but his skin was also cold. For some reason, Pei Lu suddenly recalled the morgue in the hospital...

At this moment, another loud thunderclap sounded in Pei Lu's ear. Startled, Pei Lu instinctively closed his eyes and his body involuntarily shrank. Although his movements were light, Tang Jie caught sight of them. Before Pei Lu could open his eyes and react, Tang Jie hurriedly threw himself into Pei Lu's arms, tightly embracing his waist. Like a startled little animal, he continuously nestled into Pei Lu's embrace, seeking the attention and comfort from his guardian.

Sure! Here's the translation: 'Sure enough, Pei Lv didn't disappoint him. He raised his hand and placed it on his head, gently rubbing his hair twice.'

"What's wrong, scared?" The voice was low and a little hoarse, but it hooked onto Tang Jie's heart like a hook, making him feel a bit itchy. The hand resting on Pei Lu's waist subconsciously tightened, burying his entire face into Pei Lu's chest.

Scared...

"Alright, enough already. You're already so grown up. You're a boy, you can't behave like this. Go back to sleep."

Pei Lu clearly had no intention of compromising, but standing before him was not an ordinary child, but Tang Jie. Tang Jie's actions were always flawless and never allowed any mistakes.

As soon as Pei Lv finished speaking, lightning suddenly illuminated more than half of the room outside the window. Tang Jie held Pei Lv's hand even tighter, and Pei Lv could hardly catch her breath.

"Xiao Jie, let go, be obedient."

Tang Jie remained silent, tightly holding onto Pei Lv, looking extremely pitiful.

Just as Pei Lv was hesitating, Siri suddenly popped up and issued a task.

(Release a side quest: Spend a night with Tang Jie and Lei Yu in the rain to cultivate emotions. Please click to accept.)

Pei Lv, feeling helpless, was already exhausted, and at this moment couldn't hold it in anymore. He hurriedly clicked on "confirm" and then looked up, ready to speak to Tang Jiesong.

"Alright, you can sleep at my place, but... just this once."

Sure, here is the translation of the Chinese novel paragraph you provided:

Sure enough, he couldn't bring himself to be ruthless. It seemed like the other person had been waiting for his answer all along. As soon as he relented, they hurriedly let go of his hand and slowly walked to the side of his bed, holding a pillow.

"Pei Lu, can I sleep with you?" Obviously, he had no intention of sleeping on the nearby sofa.

Pei Lv sighed helplessly and nodded. "It's getting late. Go to bed now, you have classes tomorrow."

Tang Jie heard the words and hurriedly took off his slippers, carefully placing the pillow in his hand next to Pei Lu's body, aligning it in a straight line with Pei Lu's pillow. As if he had some kind of compulsion, he kept fiddling with these two pillows until they were pressed together, only then did he let go.

At this moment, Pei Lv was still feeling sleepy, so he didn't pay any attention to his slight movement.

There was only one blanket on the bed, so naturally two people would have to share it. However, Pei Lv had never been so close to another person before, let alone sharing a blanket with someone. It took him some time to adjust, but the other person clearly had no intention of giving him much time to adapt. They climbed onto the bed and lay down right beside him.

Tang Jie has a very good sleeping posture. As soon as he got on the bed, he obediently folded his hands on his chest, so well-behaved.

Pei Lv saw his appearance and immediately lost all of his temper.

Pei Lv sat on the bed and had just turned off the light when, to his surprise, Tang Jie sitting beside him immediately sat up, panicked, and called out to him. One hand tightly grasped his wrist.

"Don't turn off the lights! Turn on the lights! Switch on the lights!"
