Chapter 112 What is Like

Lin Beixiu realized that Qin Muxue didn’t call out to him, it seemed that yesterday’s incident really made her angry.

His heart was in turmoil again, she was so outstanding, did he really deserve her?

Having lived together for so long, he could somewhat see some clues. Was she really interested in him?!

Lin Beixiu sighed helplessly, picked up his clothes, and prepared to take a shower.

He felt that things were fine as they were, just being her older brother, being by her side was good enough.

Lin Beixiu arrived outside, it was very quiet, and her door was closed.

After taking a shower, Lin Beixiu would also close the door of his room to sleep.

Neither of them slept well that night.

……

In the morning, Lin Beixiu was still sleeping, only to realize after checking the time that there were only about twenty minutes left before class. Lin Beixiu quickly got up, brushed his teeth, and washed his face.

He knocked on Qin Muxue’s door, but there was no response.

Lin Beixiu cautiously pushed the door open, finding no one inside. He hadn’t expected her to be up so early, so he closed the door and prepared to go to school.

At the teaching building.

“Sister, what’s wrong with you, looking so flustered?”

Zhang Tingting handed her a bun, feeling a bit strange. Wasn’t she usually very diligent? This time she woke up so late and even asked her to buy breakfast.

“What’s going on between you two, are you preparing this for him?”

Qin Muxue’s face blushed slightly, saying without confidence, “No.”

Zhang Tingting stared at her, but Qin Muxue interrupted her.

“Alright, it’s time for class, I have to go to the classroom.”

“Hey, hey, don’t rush, listen to me finish.”

Zhang Tingting leaned in again, whispering something in her ear, making Qin Muxue’s eyes light up even more.

“Okay.”

Zhang Tingting was confident, “Don’t worry, it will definitely work.”

“Don’t ruin it too soon, endure a bit to have a sweet boyfriend.”

Blushing, Qin Muxue kicked her, “Get lost.”

……

In the classroom, Lin Beixiu was surprised to see the empty seat at the back, realizing that she had left early and hadn’t made it to the classroom yet.

Just before class, Qin Muxue finally returned to the classroom, running past Lin Beixiu to sit inside.

“Where did you go?”

Qin Muxue didn’t answer, instead asking, “Have you had breakfast?”

Lin Beixiu shook his head, time was running out, he planned to buy it after the first class.

Qin Muxue took out the bun and placed it on his desk before turning away.

She couldn’t help but want to treat Lin Beixiu well.

Lin Beixiu stared at the bun in front of him for a long time.

Honestly, the better she treated him, the more guilty he felt.

“Thank you.”

“Mm.”

Lin Beixiu ate while listening to the lesson.

Bored, Qin Muxue lay down and fell asleep.

After class, Lin Beixiu nudged her.

“Class is over.”

This girl, she woke up a few times during class, then continued sleeping, almost missing a whole class.

Qin Muxue got up, drowsily responded, stretched, and walked out with him.

Back at home, Lin Beixiu started cooking, then called Qin Muxue out.

Seeing the table all cleaned up, Qin Muxue felt a bit embarrassed, “I was busy and didn’t hear you.”

“It’s okay, let’s eat.”

……

At night, the two walked on the familiar road, with Mantou following behind them.

The two were in harmony.

“Um, are you still angry?”

In the end, Lin Beixiu couldn’t help but ask.

Qin Muxue glanced at him, Lin Beixiu looked ahead, clearly summoning great courage to say those words.

Qin Muxue calmly said, “I’m not angry, that matter has long passed, hasn’t it?”

She had been too hasty, revealing her intentions too quickly, making Lin Beixiu uncomfortable, it was not worth it.

Regretting deeply, Qin Muxue softly said, “Let’s just forget about this.”

Lin Beixiu didn’t say anything, looking at her with a complicated expression, before finally managing to utter a word.

“Mm.”

His heart was even more chaotic.

At night, the two still slept in their own rooms.

Lin Beixiu lay quietly on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

……

The next night, the two went to work as usual, and Lin Beixiu encountered a familiar face in the store.

“It’s you?”

It was none other than Chen Zhenzhen, who was in the same class before.

“Hello, classmate Lin Beixiu.”

Lin Beixiu nodded, “Are you also working part-time here?”

Chen Zhenzhen smiled and said, “Yes, but I’m in charge of cleaning the kitchen, I’m working overtime now.”

Lin Beixiu understood, after all, the recruitment notice posted earlier was for day shifts, so seeing Chen Zhenzhen here was a bit surprising.

While the two were chatting, Qin Muxue walked in from outside, and when she saw Chen Zhenzhen, she was momentarily stunned, especially seeing the two of them chatting and laughing.

“Hello, Senior Qin.”

Chen Zhenzhen knew she was a sophomore, so it was appropriate to address her this way.

Qin Muxue nodded, “Hello, are you also working part-time here?”

“Yes.”

Qin Muxue looked at Lin Beixiu, “Get me a cup of pomelo tea.”

“You’re slacking off again.” Lin Beixiu moved without haste, teasing her.

“No, the boss lady allowed it.”

Chen Zhenzhen stood aside, curiously watching the two, especially the look in Qin Muxue’s eyes, which puzzled her.

There was a sense of hostility.

Lin Beixiu handed her the pomelo tea he made, saying, “Let me treat you.”

Qin Muxue was taken aback for a moment, pondered for a while, then said softly.

“Thank you.”

After saying that, she left.

Lin Beixiu sighed, if it were before, Qin Muxue would have happily accepted it without saying thank you, but now, the distance between them seemed to have grown significantly.

“Lin Beixiu, why do I feel like you two are having a fight?” Chen Zhenzhen cautiously asked on the side.

“I think so too.” Lin Beixiu smiled bitterly.

Although he was straightforward, he could understand Qin Muxue’s current actions.

On the surface, she said she wasn’t angry, but in reality, she was very angry.

Lin Beixiu looked puzzled, “What do you think constitutes liking someone?”

“Huh?”

Chen Zhenzhen didn’t know why he suddenly asked this, but recalling the scenes of her parents getting along, she said.

“It’s probably when the other person occupies your mind, you subconsciously want to do something for them, and every move of theirs affects you.”

“In simple terms, it’s ‘caring’.”

Lin Beixiu: ……

Caring?

……

At night, after Qin Muxue finished showering, she played with the cat in her room, placed the little one on the floor, and prepared to sleep.

Mantou jumped onto the bed.

Qin Muxue just smiled at this, now that she couldn’t sleep with Lin Beixiu, it could accompany her.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

Qin Muxue knew it was him, and said directly.

Lin Beixiu pushed the door open, closed it behind him, then stood in front of the door.

“……”

“……”
