Chapter 92: Feeling a Guilty Conscience
Thinking of the sweetness he just tasted, Yin Shaojie couldn’t refrain from feeling restless. He couldn’t help but move closer and lightly peck her lips, but it wasn’t as thorough as he had done previously.
Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao’s eyelashes flutter like a butterfly before it took flight, he was suddenly caught by surprise. He raised his head immediately in a stiff motion, shifted away from her to the other side of the bed, and conveniently laid there, pretending to be resting.
Unexpectedly, Mu Xiaoxiao was not sleeping—her small hand grabbed onto his shirt, her head drawing closer and digging into his chest. Then, she fell asleep again.
Yin Shaojie looked down at her expression as she slept. He looked awkward and was unsure whether to laugh or cry.
But, it was all good as long as he was not found out.
He paused for a moment and reached out his hand to wrap around her slender waist. Slightly lowering his head and planting his tall nose on her neck, he breathed in her bodily fragrance.
Which shower gel does this wretch use. Her body smells so good.
…
The next day.
Mu Xiaoxiao woke up to a splitting headache and rolled unbearably on the bed.
“My head hurts… this sucks!”
Her head felt as if it was going to explode. She could hardly endure the pain as tears squeezed from the corner of her eyes. She looked very pitiful.
As Yin Shaojie walked over to the bed with a glass in hand, he clicked his tongue and pulled her up with his long arms.
“Do you know what pain is now? Drink this. It’ll get better.”
Mu Xiaoxiao obediently leaned on his arm and drank it. Then, she grimaced with disgust. “This drink sucks!”
When Yin Shaojie saw that she had finished the drink, he let go of her, leaving the glass at the bedside cabinet. Then, out of nowhere, he popped out a lollipop and stuffed it into her mouth.
The sweetness of the strawberry flavor took over the bitterness, and Mu Xiaoxiao started to look more relaxed.
“I’m saved! I can’t stand bitterness,” she said as she laid back onto the bed again, still sucking on the lollipop.
Yin Shaojie gave her a glance. “You keep sleeping then. I’ll be off.”
Mu Xiaoxiao laid for a while and finished the lollipop. The medicine had taken effect, and her head was no longer hurting too badly. However, her stomach then began to growl. Thus, she had no choice but to get out of bed. She then stepped out of the room while in slippers.
“Jie, Jie, I’m hungry…” she shouted like a kid as she walked into the living room.
Yin Shaojie was just sitting on the sofa with an Apple laptop on his thighs. His eyes stared at the screen, his long fingers typing furiously. It was unclear what he was doing.
“I’m hungry!” she repeated as she walked over to his side and sat on the sofa.
Yin Shaojie seemed to be hiding something. He closed the laptop and glared at her. “Isn’t there food on the table? Get it yourself!”
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted her lips. “I don’t want to move…”
What she really meant was that she wanted him to get it for her.
Yin Shaojie pushed his finger into her chest, looking very disapproving of her as he said, “Mu Xiaoxiao, why are you so lazy? Brush your teeth and wash your face. Then come back and eat your breakfast.”
He had bought the breakfast for her himself. What else did she expect from him?
“But I’m really hungry…” Mu Xiaoxiao cried pitifully. She acted coy as she tugged at his sleeve and placed her head on it.
Yin Shaojie’s handsome face was unnaturally red. When she entered his intimate space, he could smell her scent and was reminded of his shenanigans last night.
He had a guilty conscience and pushed her away. “Stop sticking onto me. You’re an adult. Stop acting coy. Go brush your teeth. Do you still expect your young master to serve you? Stop dreaming and get going!”
