Chapter 67: The Shameless Qin Muxue

Qin Muxue saw him close his eyes, and did not insist further, letting go of her hold.

Lin Beixiu had also accepted reality, lying on the far side, and at the end, he thought of something and said, “Don’t come over.”

Lin Beixiu did not understand why he had agreed to it, but his heart gradually calmed down, and he felt at ease.

Qin Muxue softly hummed in acknowledgment, but the smile on her lips still betrayed her.

After an unknown amount of time, hearing Lin Beixiu’s even breathing, Qin Muxue opened her eyes and once again cautiously moved closer, curling up in his embrace, and hugged his solid waist.

For the second time, she hugged Lin Beixiu, and the feeling was really good.

Just as Qin Muxue was feeling content, Lin Beixiu, who was asleep, moved slightly, stretching out an arm to embrace her.

Qin Muxue, like a startled kitten, tensed up, especially since this was an unintended move by Lin Beixiu, and it took her a while to regain her composure and close her eyes contentedly.

…

The next day, Lin Beixiu was the first to get up as usual, yawning and feeling a slick sensation; he knew what had happened, and his forehead was covered in black lines.

Qin Muxue was still holding him, her head resting on his chest like a sleeping kitten, her hair casually spread out, and Lin Beixiu even ended up lying on her hair.

“Older sister Qin, you… again.”

After grinding his teeth, Lin Beixiu pushed her.

“Qin Muxue, wake up.”

“Hmm?”

Qin Muxue opened her eyes drowsily, only to see Lin Beixiu’s angry face and their posture.

But she closed her eyes again, “So what?”

So what?

Lin Beixiu was almost furious, “Get the hell out of here.”

A kick sent Qin Muxue flying out, nearly falling off the bed.

“Little Bei, you kicked me.”

Qin Muxue pretended to be in pain, clutching her stomach, but Lin Beixiu knew he hadn’t really exerted any force; she was just acting.

“Keep acting.”

Lin Beixiu gave her a disdainful look, stepping over her to get off the bed, while Qin Muxue watched his back with a smile, still planning to lie in bed a bit longer.

That night, she slept very comfortably and was in a good mood.

Not long after, Lin Beixiu, who was all dressed up, came back in.

“You’re still sleeping, time for class.”

“Hmm.”

Qin Muxue then reluctantly got out of bed and went to her room to change out of her pajamas.

“What do you want to eat?”

“You still want to eat? Go buy it outside.”

Qin Muxue spoke earnestly, “Getting angry so early in the morning is not good for your health.”

Lin Beixiu: …… “Don’t start with me, it’s your fault.”

“Hmm, it is my fault.”

Qin Muxue readily admitted, which left Lin Beixiu speechless, after all, no matter how you put it, it was him, a man, who had taken advantage, and it would seem petty to keep arguing.

Lin Beixiu huffed and picked up his books, heading out, with Qin Muxue following him with a smile.

…

This time, Qin Muxue did not hold his hand; they walked side by side to the classroom and started the day’s lessons.

Today, the classroom was especially lively, and upon inquiring casually, they found out that there was gossip from last night; someone had confessed their love on the sports field.

Qin Muxue logged onto the forum and saw many photos. The protagonist was Lu An from the music department, a handsome guy who played the piano well and could play many instruments.

In the video, he was playing the guitar and singing a love song, in front of him was a very pretty girl, and the people around naturally formed a circle, their phone flashlights complementing his performance.

Qin Muxue’s expression didn’t change much as she watched; she didn’t like the feeling of being watched. But seeing the two come together at the end, she felt envious.

Qin Muxue glanced at Lin Beixiu beside her. As far as confessions go, it would be enough if it were just the two of them.

She only needed him.

But it’s a pity with this fool, getting him to confess was harder than a sow climbing a tree.

Lin Beixiu continued to look like a diligent student, listening attentively to the class, unaware of Qin Muxue’s gaze.

Without desires, he was solely focused on his career.

If it weren’t for being sure that Lin Beixiu had at least some feelings for her, living together with him under the same roof, with many little actions to take, Qin Muxue wouldn’t be confident in winning him over.

From their initial pretending to be a couple, holding hands, to now sleeping in the same bed, it hadn’t been easy for her.

While listening to the lecture, Lin Beixiu suddenly felt a chill and sneezed.

“Who’s badmouthing me?”

…

After school, Qin Muxue finally got to hold his hand; she had figured out his temper by now… Qin Muxue stealthily reached out her hand.

Just as they touched, Lin Beixiu pulled back, glaring at her.

“Mind your behavior.”

Qin Muxue: ……

Why was he still mad?

Qin Muxue didn’t realize that she had stirred him up again in the morning; she just hadn’t noticed.

“Why, I want to hold your hand.”

“Not allowed, you think you’re a kid?”

Qin Muxue nodded, “Yeah, just a 242-month-old kid.”

Lin Beixiu: ……

He was once again defeated by Qin Muxue’s thick skin.

“Scram.”

…

In the end, Qin Muxue forcibly took Lin Beixiu’s hand, remembering the beating from the night before, at this moment Lin Beixiu didn’t dare move.

Qin Muxue looked at his tearful expression and said, “What’s wrong, why are you looking at me with that look.”

Lin Beixiu shrank his neck, “What does this have to do with anything?”

Qin Muxue felt he was avoiding the issue, but didn’t ask further.

“Let’s go, time to head back.”

Lin Beixiu was still dazed, just being pulled along by her.

So, she likes me?

Lin Beixiu hadn’t figured it out yet, and simply decided not to think about it.

“Should I cook?”

Qin Muxue asked, mainly because her mother had brought over so many dishes that they couldn’t finish them all in a few days; they just needed to heat up the food.

“Never mind, I’ll do it, you go rest.”

“Alright.”

Qin Muxue opened the fridge and took out a dish.

“This is a specialty from our place, we’ll have this for lunch today.”

Lin Beixiu also took it over, “Okay.”

Once the fragrance of the food filled the air, Lin Beixiu couldn’t help swallowing his saliva.

It smells so good.

He sneaked a piece of meat and tasted it.

“Stealing a bite?”

Lin Beixiu was startled, turning around to see Qin Muxue standing with her hands behind her back, amusedly watching him.

“Cough, uh…”

Lin Beixiu’s flustered appearance caught Qin Muxue’s eye, making her think he was adorable.

“If you want to eat, just eat. Does my mom’s cooking taste good?”

“Yeah, it’s delicious.”

Lin Beixiu’s expression dimmed, then he forced himself to appear calm.

“Your mom’s cooking is really good.”

Qin Muxue keenly felt his mood shift and quickly changed the subject.

“Quick, watch the fire, don’t let it burn and then blame me again.”

Lin Beixiu came back to his senses, turned off the fire, and began serving the food, not forgetting to mutter.

“That’s right.”
