AWDC Chapter 62
by VolareChapter 62: Mu Chuang Chickened Out Again
After returning, he hid in his room and began trying to search for the original owner’s memories.
Unexpectedly, Qiushui came to report that Lin Xi was looking for him. Mu Chuang hesitated for a second and then asked, “Did he eat anything?”
“No.” Qiushui lowered her head, answering somewhat guiltily.
A trace of anger appeared on Mu Chuang’s face, “Tell him to eat something, or I won’t see him.”
“Yes.” Qiushui responded and retreated.
Suddenly, Mu Chuang added behind her, “If the food is cold, warm it up for him, or make it again. Don’t let him eat cold food.”
“Yes, this servant understands.” Qiushui replied halfway and then hurried away.
Half an hour later, Lin Xi looked at the remade pastries and clear porridge on the table, eagerly picking up his chopsticks.
Just then, Mu Chuang, who had failed to retrieve the original owner’s memories, came in, finding it somewhat amusing to see him eating so ravenously.
“I thought you really didn’t know you were hungry. Knowing this, should I not have argued with you?” Along with the teasing words, a blue-purple figure entered, the sleeves bringing in a gust of wind, with a bit of an evil aura.
Lin Xi was already in a bad mood, and hearing his teasing words, he suddenly stopped eating. He kept a mouthful of pastry in his mouth, neither swallowing nor spitting it out, staring at the evil man with a pair of beautiful eyes. In an instant, he thought of many things, but ultimately, all ended in silence.
He knew he couldn’t stand up to him. Even if he had a huge problem with it, he had to bear it.
He lowered his eyes and slowly chewed the pastry in his mouth.
Someone contentedly curled the corners of his lips, flicked his wide sleeves, sat next to him, and tilted his head to watch him eat.
He saw that the other’s thin lips were tightly closed, colored cherry-red from eating, chewing silently, a small bulge on his fair face moving with each chew, making him extremely cute.
Mu Chuang couldn’t help but want to touch him.
However, before he could carry out that action, he saw the other’s Adam’s apple bob, and then he swallowed. Immediately after, he scooped a spoonful of clear porridge into his mouth, a little soup staining his lips. His pink tongue licked it clean, a faint luster appearing on his lips…
Someone lost his composure.
The five fingers in his sleeve tightened, following his lips upward, the perfect curve of his profile, no part excessive, no part lacking, under his slightly curled eyelashes, his eyes were as clear as water, reflecting the scenery outside the window, black and white distinct, like stars twinkling in the night sky…
Someone lost his composure even more.
His head got closer and closer, until he was about to approach those cherry-red lips. He had to admit that he was indeed a bit of a coward. Facing someone he had raised as a younger brother since childhood, he really couldn’t bring himself to kiss him. It felt like a desecration.
“Ah…” Mu Chuang suddenly howled, covering his lips and retreating a few inches, only to find that he had been “accidentally” poked by the end of the other’s spoon…
Lin Xi scooped another mouthful of clear porridge into his mouth, the end of the spoon “happened” to poke the other’s lips, “unintentionally” stopping the other from trying to steal a kiss.
He himself continued to eat his food as if he hadn’t noticed anything, not even glancing at him.
Mu Chuang: ………
So, you’re doing it on purpose? Deliberately messing with me?
I can’t believe it, you have quite a few little schemes.
He covered his lips, and after the pain subsided, he took his hand away and carefully looked. Luckily, there was no blood, so he saved face.
“Ahem~” He cleared his throat awkwardly, barely managing to shift his gaze away from the other’s face, saying something serious as if trying to save face, “Um… didn’t you say you were looking for me? What is it? Tell me.”
Hearing this, Lin Xi swallowed what was in his mouth, put down his spoon, and finally deigned to look at him.
The other’s dandy appearance entered his eyes, but he had no heart to appreciate it at the moment, only saying indifferently and with some displeasure, “You captured Zhao Yuming, why?”
???!!!
Mu Chuang was completely taken aback.
After all this time, he thought the other had figured things out and wanted to reminisce with him, but…
In the end, he was here to question him on behalf of another man.
“What is going on?!” Mu Chuang roared in his heart, “So, everything I’ve done for you isn’t as good as you meeting someone else once? Are you trying to make me angry to death?”
The veins on his neck were bulging. Lin Xi noticed his anger and had to look away, lowering his eyes again.
“If you don’t want to say, then forget it.” He said indifferently, carefully pushing away the food plate in front of him, “I’m not eating anymore, I have no appetite.”
Mu Chuang was directly amused by his anger: Isn’t this obviously threatening me? Do you think I can’t see it?
He picked up the spoon that had been thrown away and dragged the food plate back, his voice cool, with a hint of threat, “I won’t tell you if you don’t finish eating. I advise you to be good and not go against your brother.”
Then, he scooped up a spoonful of clear porridge and brought it to Lin Xi’s lips.
Lin Xi turned his face away, refusing to eat.
Mu Chuang brought the spoon closer again, but the other still refused to eat.
So, he pressed the spoon filled with porridge against the other’s lips, the feeling under the spoon being soft and sticky, causing his hand to tremble uncontrollably.
To avoid dirtying Lin Xi’s clothes, he retracted his hand and put the spoonful of porridge into his own mouth. Thinking that the spoon had been used by Lin Xi, he even subconsciously licked it a few times.
Unexpectedly, this action fell into the corner of Lin Xi’s eye, and a sour feeling arose in his heart, along with some disgust. Once, the other had been so disgusted by him. So, what did this action mean now?
He silently turned his face away a little more, turning his back almost completely to Mu Chuang.
Mu Chuang also realized that he seemed to be disliked by the other. At that moment, he still had the spoon in his mouth, sucking it clean before taking it out.
Faced with the other’s disgust, he couldn’t continue to force him to eat with this spoon.
So, he called the maid and brought a clean one, as if vowing to make the other finish all the food, only then would he feel comfortable.
Lin Xi was surprised by his stubbornness, and helplessly, he had to start eating again.
He drank all of the bowl of porridge, but he couldn’t eat the last piece of pastry no matter what. After taking a small bite, he put it back on the food plate, refusing to eat it.
Seeing that he had eaten almost everything, Mu Chuang didn’t force him anymore. Adhering to the principle of not wasting, or perhaps other thoughts, he picked up the piece of pastry that Lin Xi had left over, and following the place where he had bitten, slowly filled it into his own stomach, bite by bite.
Unsurprisingly, he saw the disgusted look in Lin Xi’s eyes again.
But only for a moment, the other regained his composure.
As soon as he calmed down, that detached temperament reappeared, refined and otherworldly, aloof and unapproachable, so cold that people couldn’t get close.
For a moment, Mu Chuang actually had a feeling of being unworthy, even as if he wasn’t in the same dimension as him…
He was so far away from himself, so far away that he couldn’t touch him.
