Chapter 151: A Brief Separation

Lin Beixiu went to the bathroom to wash up, then sat down at the dining table with her.

Qin Muxue finished her breakfast and was about to leave, simply tidying up a bit.

“I’ll see you off.”

“No need, I’m not a kid anymore. You just stay home and wait for me to come back.”

Since she said so, Lin Beixiu didn’t insist.

“Be careful on the road.”

“Okay.”

The two hugged each other, and Qin Muxue left after closing the door.

Lin Beixiu took a deep breath, went to the balcony, and waited until Qin Muxue’s figure appeared. He watched her leave.

Qin Muxue seemed to have a sixth sense, looked up at their apartment, and waved. Lin Beixiu smiled and waved back.

“I’ll take a nap. I’ll go for a run tonight.”

Lin Beixiu lay down on the bed.

“Come here, Mantou, sleep with me.”

“Meow.”

Qin Muxue got into the car, sent a message to her family, and started the engine to leave.

After a while, Lin Beixiu, who was lying on the bed, received Qin Muxue’s message. She had already arrived home.

Qin Muxue: I just got home and I miss you already. What should I do?

Lin Beixiu smiled and sent a message: Take it easy.

Qin Muxue sent two emoticons in a row, one was “I’m angry,” and the other was an angry little rabbit holding a vegetable knife, full of threats.

Lin Beixiu smiled and still replied: I miss you too.

Qin Muxue sent a happy emoticon, making Lin Beixiu smile knowingly.

On the other side, Qin Muxue put down her phone and went downstairs.

“Sister Yun, hasn’t my mom come back yet?”

“She’ll be back soon, around noon.” Su Yun said with a smile.

Qin Muxue pouted, ” Sister Yun, I didn’t know you and mom went to find Little Bei.”

“How could I not? That little guy is so biased towards you, taking our little sweetheart away. I just reminded him, that’s all.”

Qin Muxue grasped the key point, ” Sister Yun, what did you remind him?”

Su Yun repeated what she said to Lin Beixiu at the time. Qin Muxue only then knew that Lin Beixiu had kept it from her again, and she felt both heartache and anger.

“Sister Yun, don’t make things difficult for him. He’s really good to me. The drinking incident was my own fault. I won’t drink again.”

Su Yun shook her head helplessly, thinking that this girl was really bewitched, always taking his side.

“You, I didn’t say anything bad about him. I just warned him. Why are you so nervous?”

Qin Muxue smiled sweetly, “Sister Yun is the best.”

At noon, Lin Beixiu ordered takeout and sat comfortably at the dining table to eat.

His phone vibrated, and it was Qin Muxue’s video call. Lin Beixiu put down his chopsticks and answered.

“Mumu.”

On the screen was Qin Muxue’s beautiful little face. She was lying on the bed.

“What are you doing? Have you eaten at this time?”

“I’m eating.”

Qin Muxue’s eyes narrowed, “You’re not ordering takeout again, are you?”

Lin Beixiu glanced at the takeout on the table, feeling guilty, but still told the truth: “You know me so well, like a worm in my stomach.”

“Indeed, you’re not honest.”

Qin Muxue proudly said, “Of course, don’t I know you well?”

“Remember to go for a run tonight.”

Qin Muxue was still concerned about Lin Beixiu not going for a run in the morning.

“Got it.” Lin Beixiu replied with a bitter smile.

As they chatted, Qin Muxue turned her head to look at something beside her. Lin Beixiu heard other people’s voices from her end.

Qin Muxue responded, then turned back to the screen.

“Little Bei, I won’t disturb you anymore. I’m going to eat too. Let’s chat later.”

“Okay, bye.”

After hanging up, Lin Beixiu continued eating.

Qin Muxue came downstairs on her side.

“Mom, it smells so good.”

Qin Han brought out the last dish, “Little Xue, hurry up and wash your hands. It’s time to eat.”

“Okay.”

Qin Muxue sat down and asked, “Mom, why didn’t you tell me you went to find Little Bei?”

“I was going to tell you when you got back. Did he not tell you we met?”

“He did.”

Qin Han smiled, “You didn’t tell me, so I had to go ask him. It’s quite a coincidence that he said you two have been together for a while.”

“Yes, you scared my Little Bei.”

Qin Han remembered the last time she saw Lin Beixiu’s nervous appearance and Qin Muxue’s resentful tone. She couldn’t help but smile, feeling that her daughter was truly grown up.

“It’s mom’s fault.”

Qin Muxue knew her mother’s personality, so she explained, “Mom, it’s not like that. I’ll tell you…”

Qin Muxue told her mother about their childhood. When Qin Han found out that Lin Beixiu was her daughter’s childhood friend, her expression became even more wonderful.

Su Yun seemed to remember something, “Is he that little kid from back then?”

Qin Muxue nodded. It was normal for Su Yun to know, as she used to take care of Qin Muxue when she was young. However, Su Yun only had a vague impression of Lin Beixiu from when she picked up Qin Muxue and saw him from afar.

Qin Han heard about it later from Su Yun and was happy to know that her daughter had a childhood friend. She just let the two kids be.

“It’s really fate that brought you two together.”

Qin Han showed a nostalgic expression, remembering that her own encounter with her husband was quite romantic.

Su Yun smiled when she heard this, “Speaking of which, I remember when I called you back, that little guy was hiding in the grass, watching from a distance.”

Qin Muxue smiled sweetly when she heard this, as these were her most precious memories.

“You should be nicer to Little Bei. He even came to me to complain. You pinched his waist so hard.” Qin Han teased.

Qin Muxue’s face turned red, already thinking about how to punish him when she got back.

“It’s clearly his fault for making me angry every time.”

“Haha.”

In the end, the meal ended in a joyful atmosphere, and Qin Muxue’s worried heart was put at ease.

On Lin Beixiu’s side, he cleaned up and lay down on the bed. Without the familiar pillow, Lin Beixiu felt uncomfortable, and being alone made him feel so empty and lonely.

He really didn’t know how he spent his days without a girlfriend before.

Lin Beixiu was bored, so he browsed his phone, finally remembering to buy Qin Muxue a set of sleepwear. He browsed Taobao, entered “sleepwear, female,” and quickly found a light-colored set with a small bear pattern on the chest. Lin Beixiu thought it was nice and placed an order.

That’s it.

Lin Beixiu exited the shopping app and continued browsing videos.

In the afternoon, Qin Muxue called him again via video call.

“Hey, Little Bei.”

“Hmm.”

Lin Beixiu opened his eyes, looked at his phone, and saw Qin Muxue. He knew she was still in bed.
