Chapter 68: Bickering

To Lin Beixiu, Qin Muxue’s actions really made no difference from being shameless, employing all sorts of brazen tactics.

Qin Muxue heard this and snorted coldly, then pinched him at his waist.

“So what about that?”

“Nothing.” Lin Beixiu shook his head and calmly pushed away her hand that was on his waist.

Qin Muxue did not say anything further and walked out satisfied.

“Look at this, what do you think?”

Qin Muxue handed him her phone, displaying the confession video they had watched earlier.

Lin Beixiu just glanced at it briefly and then looked away.

Qin Muxue: ……

Such a waste, this straight man.

“I actually think it’s quite romantic. You also sing well, why don’t you take a music class next semester?”

“No, those are boring things, I don’t really want to learn.”

Lin Beixiu had a good voice, and because he was familiar with that song, he could sing it so well.

He studied finance only because his grandfather recommended it, as the older generation believed that being a boss was the only way to make it big. Lin Beixiu also agreed without hesitation to major in this field.

Now, he planned to finish his four years of study and then find a good job to make the old man happy, showing his filial piety; he wanted nothing else.

Qin Muxue once again felt the isolated aura around him and said nothing more.

“Yeah, everyone makes different choices, as long as there are no regrets.”

Regrets…?

Lin Beixiu didn’t know.

Both harboring their own thoughts, they stopped talking. Qin Muxue sighed helplessly, his personality was still too fragile, and she wondered what he had gone through after they had parted.

…

It must be said, the dishes Qin Muxue’s mother brought were quite plentiful; it took almost a week for the two of them to finish eating them.

During those days, neither of them needed to order takeout in the evenings. Qin Muxue would always go home a few minutes late, heat up the food, then pack it up and bring it to Lin Beixiu.

During those days, the regular customers at the milk tea shop often saw Qin Muxue, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy directed at Lin Beixiu.

…

Qin Muxue handed him the boxed meal, “Eat slowly, I’m off to work now.”

“Thanks.”

Lin Beixiu felt helpless, mainly because he couldn’t stop her, although he had said eating takeout was fine, she insisted on delivering the food.

“This is the last meal, we’ve finished all the dishes.”

Lin Beixiu watched her leaving back, then looked down at the lunchbox in front of him, until Zhang Qingmin snapped him back to reality.

“Man, your girlfriend really treats you well, bringing you meals every day.”

“Yeah.”

Lin Beixiu couldn’t be bothered to argue and was used to Qin Muxue’s kindness.

After finishing the meal, Lin Beixiu still felt a bit unsatisfied, and his work seemed distracted.

Having not cooked for many days, he felt he had become lazy and had even gained some weight.

Evening, after work.

The two walked side by side, Lin Beixiu still carrying two meal containers.

“No more dishes, we have a day off tomorrow, go shopping?”

Lin Beixiu: ……

“You go, I’ll sleep.”

He hated shopping, it was exhausting.

“No, you must go.”

“I won’t.”

“You must.”

…

The two playfully ran all the way back home, Lin Beixiu avoiding the elevator and running up the emergency stairs instead.

Qin Muxue stared at his retreating back, took the elevator herself, too lazy to chase after him. With his energy, let him run on his own.

They reached their floor simultaneously, and Qin Muxue, seeing him gasping for breath, mocked him.

“You seem pretty energetic.”

Lin Beixiu gave her a look, “Anyway, I’m not going shopping.”

“Just come with me, would you really let me carry all those things by myself?”

“Then buy less.”

Qin Muxue: ……

“Little Bei.”

Qin Muxue again employed her act of coquetry, grabbing his hand and not letting him go.

Lin Beixiu looked disgusted, “Let go.”

“I’ll let go if you agree, otherwise I’ll climb into your bed tonight.”

Lin Beixiu: !!

Lin Beixiu was shocked she would say such a thing, his face full of black lines.

“Scram, you older sister, I’m locking my door tonight.”

Qin Muxue looked displeased; it had been a long time since she had slept with him.

“Alright.”

Qin Muxue finally let go of his hand. Lin Beixiu breathed a sigh of relief, turned, and entered his own room, locking the door behind him. He planned to take a late shower, giving her no opportunity.

…

Late at 9 PM, Lin Beixiu came out of his room to take a shower.

Hearing the noise, Qin Muxue opened her door and peeped out, her smile meaningful as she looked towards the bathroom.

When Lin Beixiu was done drying his hair and planned to return to his room, he opened the door and was momentarily stunned.

Qin Muxue was wearing her pajamas, lying on his bed.

“Little Bei, come over here.” Qin Muxue smiled, patting the space next to her, her tone slightly seductive.

“Older sister Qin!”

Lin Beixiu slapped his forehead, not expecting to forget this detail.

“Don’t think about sleeping on the couch, I can carry you back in the middle of the night.”

Before Lin Beixiu could say anything, Qin Muxue spoke first.

Lin Beixiu: ……

“Alright, I won’t make you accompany me shopping, just sleep with me for one night, okay?”

Lin Beixiu speechless, “Can you not say something so lewd?”

“It’s your mind that’s unhealthy, blame me then.”

Alright, his fault.

Lin Beixiu sat in his spot, just watching her. Qin Muxue also turned to face him.

As they watched each other, Lin Beixiu quickly lost ground, mainly because of her pose…

Lin Beixiu turned his head away, “Why do you always want to sleep in my bed?”

“Nothing, I just want to sleep with you.”

Lin Beixiu paused, “What’s so good about me.”

“Everything’s good, you’re handsome, sing well, and can cook…”

“Stop, stop, stop.”

Lin Beixiu stopped her, not even realizing he had so many good points.

“Stop flattering, I’m not as good as you think.”

Qin Muxue saw his serious expression and realized he was somewhat self-conscious.

“I’m serious, you really have many good points, and you’ve taken good care of me.”

“Heh.”

Lin Beixiu rolled his eyes, “I knew I should never have invited you for that meal, should have just let you eat takeout.”

Qin Muxue: ……

This bad guy.

But she was used to it, so she wasn’t angry.

“Yeah, so now I’m sticking to you, come sleep already.” Qin Muxue brazenly said, with an expression that challenged him to do something about it.

Lin Beixiu pulled out his phone and started looking at it. Qin Muxue lay quietly on the bed, tucking herself in, and then closed her eyes.

She wanted to sleep, completely forgetting her earlier thoughts.

Lin Beixiu played with his phone until he was bored, then looked at Qin Muxue, asleep on the bed, and smiled.

Is this it?

Lin Beixiu took a thin blanket from the closet, turned off the lights, closed the door, went to the living room, laid down on the sofa, covered himself with the blanket, and went to sleep.

Previously, he had slept with her only out of necessity. Every time he woke up, she was clinging to him, making him look so disheveled; he didn’t want to sleep with her anymore.
