Chapter 31: The Adorable Side of Qin Muxue

In the end, she had no choice but to sit on the sofa and start reading a book.

He was too lazy, mainly because Qin Muxue wasn’t good at cooking either. Otherwise, she would have made him breakfast, but she was afraid of blowing up the kitchen.

Qin Muxue was well aware of her past mishaps.

After a while, realizing she was about to be late, Qin Muxue thought of waking him up again. Just as she stood at the door, Lin Beixiu opened it, and they both froze, staring at each other.

Lin Beixiu thought she had left. He wasn’t dressed, bare-chested with a perfect physique, showcasing his eight-pack abs.

Qin Muxue didn’t scream like before. She stared in astonishment, covering her mouth with an incredulous expression, and even swallowed subtly, thinking, “I really want to try that body.”

Lin Beixiu broke into a cold sweat and slammed the door shut.

“I’m sorry.”

Qin Muxue watched the door, snickering, then got startled by her own thoughts.

Qin Muxue, how could you be so bold? Although he is your little brother, you still need to settle accounts and not let him off so easily.

Then, Lin Beixiu carefully opened a crack in the door, saw her sitting on the sofa, and cautiously stepped out. Qin Muxue looked over, and Lin Beixiu couldn’t tell what she was thinking or if she was angry.

However, as Qin Muxue looked over, Lin Beixiu awkwardly explained.

“Cough, I was still in my room at that time, not in a public place.”

Qin Muxue just glanced at her phone and said indifferently, “If we don’t hurry up and wash up, we’ll really be late.”

Although Lin Beixiu was curious about her sudden change in attitude, he hastened his actions. Soon after, they were dressed and left the house together.

“Really, is it so hard to have a breakfast made by you?”

Qin Muxue bought two buns and a cup of soy milk, unable to resist complaining.

Lin Beixiu rolled his eyes, “You disturb my sleep, and I haven’t even settled that with you yet, and now you want this.”

“If you want breakfast, it’ll cost extra.”

Qin Muxue’s lips twitched, “Extra? I’m not without money.”

When the two were together before, Lin Beixiu liked to stay in bed and seldom made breakfast. Only lunch was a decent meal because of his part-time job in the afternoon; breakfast was always rushed.

Lin Beixiu regretted it. He actually doesn’t eat much for breakfast, usually just something quick, but because of a promise to Qin Muxue, he started making breakfast for her.

Back then, it was Lin Beixiu who cooked, and she ate. If Lin Beixiu overslept, they would just grab something outside. Mostly, it was Lin Beixiu oversleeping, with Qin Muxue waking him up, wondering what he did every night to be so tired.

Now that they were more familiar with each other, Qin Muxue’s demands increased.

Now, Lin Beixiu regretted it, his sleep schedule was in jeopardy.

“Forget it, you don’t have to pay extra.”

“Is it free?” Qin Muxue asked excitedly.

“Get lost, I’m not doing it anymore.”

Qin Muxue pouted, “So unreliable, be careful or I might beat you.”

Hearing this, Lin Beixiu recalled the strength of her punch, his lips twitching as he quickened his pace, with Qin Muxue laughing and following behind.

Thus, they chatted and returned to school, entering the classroom to sit at the back.

Qin Muxue was still bothered by the earlier incident, “Little Bei, you can’t go back on your word. My breakfast is up to you.”

“Remember to wake up early from now on. Early to bed, early to rise makes a person healthy.”

Lin Beixiu: …….

He was still eating his bun and almost choked.

Always needing to say something, getting himself involved.

Lin Beixiu wanted to be stubborn once more, just as he turned his head, Qin Muxue anticipated this, and their eyes met at that moment.

Qin Muxue squinted, her gaze both scrutinizing and threatening, as if to say, if you don’t agree, you’ll get beaten.

Ssh, so cold.

“You… you.”

Lin Beixiu swallowed, her expression reminding him of their first meeting, her gaze just as icy.

“Alright, stop looking at me like that, I agree, okay?” Lin Beixiu said reluctantly.

“Mhm, good boy.”

Qin Muxue couldn’t help but reach out to ruffle his hair, which was incredibly soft to the touch.

Lin Beixiu: !!

Lin Beixiu turned his head away to avoid her touch.

“Don’t do that.”

Seeing him shy, Qin Muxue wanted to tease him more, but then the teacher entered, and she had to stop.

After class, Lin Beixiu planned to go to the restroom. When he came out, he encountered Zhang Hao.

Lin Beixiu, unfazed, intended to walk past them and leave.

“Hey, I’m warning you, stay away from Qin Muxue.”

Zhang Hao knew Lin Beixiu was skilled, and being alone, he was somewhat afraid.

“Tell her not to come looking for me.”

Lin Beixiu turned around, his gaze suddenly turning cold.

“I don’t care what you and Qin Muxue are to each other. If you want to pursue her, it’s none of my business. But if you annoy me, the consequences will be severe.”

After saying this, Lin Beixiu walked past the stunned Zhang Hao towards the classroom.

Zhang Hao watched his back, clenching his fists, his face filled with malice.

……

Back in class, Lin Beixiu sat at his desk, feeling inexplicably restless. Although he said those words, he couldn’t help but think of Qin Muxue.

Especially after spending more time together… he always felt like he had seen Qin Muxue somewhere before…

“What are you thinking about?”

Qin Muxue, noticing his pondering look and furrowed brow, asked curiously.

“Ah.”

Lin Beixiu panicked for a moment and turned away.

“Nothing.”

Qin Muxue became even more curious but didn’t say anything.

After school, as they walked on the campus path, they could occasionally hear other people’s comments. The handsome boy and beautiful girl together were indeed an eye-catching sight.

Especially Lin Beixiu, despite the time that had passed, the popularity from his singing hadn’t waned.

Seeing the gazes from those girls, Qin Muxue felt a surge of jealousy.

Once home, she remained upset, sitting on the sofa and sulking alone.

So annoying, why does little Bei have to be so handsome, darn it.

Qin Muxue, frustrated, punched the pillow in her arms, venting her anger as if it were him.

“Dinner’s ready.”

Lin Beixiu looked towards the living room and saw Qin Muxue punching the pillow, her expression complex.

He had never seen Qin Muxue show such an adorable side.

“Ah.”

Hearing his words, Qin Muxue blushed, stopped her actions, and hurried to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

Ah, so embarrassing, he saw everything.

At the dinner table, it was still the delicious food Qin Muxue was familiar with. As she was eating, she suddenly looked up at Lin Beixiu.

“You didn’t see anything.”

Ah, is this self-deception?

Lin Beixiu still nodded. “Yeah, I didn’t see anything.”

Of course, the corners of his mouth were already curving upwards.

Seeing this, Qin Muxue stepped on him under the table, and Lin Beixiu winced.

“Why did you do that, stepping on me again?”

“You’re clearly laughing.”

Lin Beixiu: ……

I didn’t… okay, I did.
