Lu Xingzhi was in no rush to get to Jiang Yao because she was holding her clothes and saying nothing. He remained patiently waiting for Jiang Yao's response.
There was no heating in the house during the winter in the south, but the Lu family had heat, so Lu Xingzhi was unconcerned that Jiang Yao would catch a cold if she wore less. He did not even blame Jiang Yao for not wearing socks.
Jiang Yao realized Lu Xingzhi would not let her get out of bed and go to the bathroom, so she kicked him savagely and climbed back into bed.
She had an idea when she saw the quilt and went right into it. She made sure to warn Lu Xingzhi, "Do not attempt to lift the quilt. I will not wear it if you lift the quilt!"
"Would you like me to turn the lights off for you?"
Lu Xingzhi inquired jokingly.
"Yes!"
Jiang Yao agreed right away.
Lu Xingzhi laughed and walked to the bedroom door to turn off the lights. He did, however, turn on the bedside lamp.
