MFIMM Chapter 28

“You can’t just randomly block people anymore, or I’ll remove your moderator privileges,” Lin Xi said to the top supporter with a serious face.
Pei Jiashu’s teeth itched listening to Lin Xi’s words.
But to lurk by Lin Xi’s side, Pei Jiashu could only say, “Okay then.”
True to his word, he didn’t block anyone else, but quietly noted their IDs. Lin Xi’s live stream finally concluded perfectly.
His chair had wheels, so he rolled right to the bed, plopped down, too lazy to even remove his makeup. He felt like he’d said everything he could say in this lifetime.
But when he picked up his phone and saw his followers steadily increasing, he was immediately content.
And advertisers were privately messaging him in the background for commercial collaborations.
Lin Xi discussed it with Qi Yile, and together they chose a brand. They sent Lin Xi the product specifications, requesting a shooting script within three days.
After doing all this, Lin Xi finally put down his phone. It was already eight o’clock in the evening.
Lin Xi touched his stomach, feeling a burning sensation. Just then, he heard the sound of the door opening downstairs – Pei Jiashu was back.
Not long after, there was a knock on Lin Xi’s door.
“Right, you’re sleeping upstairs tonight, you didn’t forget, did you?” Lin Xi opened the door, and Pei Jiashu looked at him and said.
“Of course not.” Lin Xi’s hand was on his stomach, feeling a little burned.
Pei Jiashu’s eyes scanned his hand, and the steps he was about to take stopped. He said to Lin Xi a bit awkwardly, “What do you want to eat tonight?”
“I want to eat some vegetables.” Lin Xi didn’t really know what he wanted to eat, but he definitely didn’t want to order takeout.
So when Pei Jiashu asked, he answered.
They were just having a cold war a couple days ago, but because of this inexplicable watch, they were forced to be tied together again.
Lin Xi secretly glanced at Pei Jiashu. Pei Jiashu must also find it annoying, right?
Pei Jiashu just looked at him calmly, nodded, and continued, “Then come give me a hand in the kitchen.”
“Okay.” Since Pei Jiashu had offered him a way out, there was no need for him to argue.
He happily followed Pei Jiashu.
Pei Jiashu first boiled himself a pot of hot water, then seemingly casually looked at Lin Xi and asked, “Do you want some?”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Lin Xi looked at Pei Jiashu with a smile.
His face had the Jiang Yuan-inspired makeup he’d done during the live stream. As he walked over to take the cup, he almost pressed up against Pei Jiashu.
Especially his face, the impact was even greater. The features that had been softened by filters in the live stream were now boldly displayed in front of him.
His pure black eyes were full of smiles, his smiling eyes curved beautifully. He held the cup, blowing on the hot water little by little.
Pei Jiashu’s breath hitched, and he forced himself to look away.
“This makeup doesn’t suit you.” Pei Jiashu held his cup and took a sip. The freshly boiled water was still steaming.
Once the hot water entered his mouth, there was no turning back.
All the taste buds on his tongue seemed to be killed instantly, and he could only feel the burning sensation.
But Lin Xi was right in front of him, so he couldn’t spit the water out. He could only roll it around in his mouth and swallow it.
“Really?” Lin Xi took out his phone, turned on the front-facing camera, and looked at his face. “It’s so perfect. What does a straight alpha like you know?”
Pei Jiashu snorted lightly, “Then maybe you’re just not my type.”
“Heh, you’re not my type either.” Lin Xi stuck out his tongue.
Pei Jiashu put down his water cup and didn’t drink another sip after that.
He wasn’t so verbally abusive when he was cooking, directing Lin Xi to do some simple tasks. Only during these times could you tell that they were a couple living under the same roof.
After dinner, Lin Xi carried his pillow and Big Bear upstairs.
The second floor was Pei Jiashu’s private area. Although he had secretly gone up a few times, this time he was invited up by Pei Jiashu, and his mood changed in a subtle and wonderful way.
He carefully observed everything around him. There were a total of four rooms upstairs: Pei Jiashu’s bedroom and study, a gym, and a sunroom.
But the sunroom was empty. Instead, a clothes rack was placed on the balcony, with Pei Jiashu’s clothes hanging on it.
Pei Jiashu seemed to hear footsteps and came out of his room. He had just taken a shower, wearing a bathrobe, his hair still dripping. He was using a towel to dry his hair.
“What are you looking at?”
“You’re just using this room to dry clothes?” Lin Xi asked Pei Jiashu with some regret.
“What else would I use it for?”
“What a waste! What a waste!”
Heaven knows, if this room had a few tatami mats, a bookshelf, and a snack rack. Lying here in the afternoon, with sunlight shining into the room from the balcony, he could lean on the tatami mat, playing games and eating snacks.
When he got tired, he could lean on the tatami mat and take a nap.
Seeming to be amused by Lin Xi’s reaction, Pei Jiashu said, “Then you can do whatever you want with it. Anyway, I don’t use it.”
“Yay! You’re the best person in the world.” Lin Xi immediately changed his face, looking at Pei Jiashu with a lovestruck expression.
Pei Jiashu suppressed the corners of his mouth from turning up and said to Lin Xi, “You go to the room first, I’m going to the study to do some work I didn’t finish during the day.”
“Okay.” Lin Xi would agree to whatever Pei Jiashu said now.
Lin Xi walked into Pei Jiashu’s room. He habitually opened the door gently, tiptoed to the closet, and then realized he wasn’t there to steal clothes.
Pei Jiashu was still working, and Lin Xi suddenly wanted to look around Pei Jiashu’s room.
He had never really looked at this room before.
The furnishings in the room all revealed a strong sense of coldness. The furniture was all in a unified black, white, and gray style. Lin Xi felt like he could be suffocated living here.
No wonder Pei Jiashu’s personality was so twisted.
He thought secretly.
There wasn’t much to see in his room. Lin Xi threw the bear on the bed and lay down.
Pei Jiashu’s pheromones still lingered on the pillow. Lin Xi leaned on the pillow and took a deep breath – it smelled so good, like mint.
After he smelled it, he felt guilty again and lay flat on the bed.
He wasn’t allergic now, so why was he smelling Pei Jiashu’s pheromones? What was so good about this alpha’s pheromones?
He just hadn’t smelled enough of them, that’s why he thought Pei Jiashu’s smelled good!
Lin Xi reasoned with himself. Pei Jiashu hadn’t come back, and he couldn’t sleep, so he simply took out his phone to play games.
But unexpectedly, the game was boring. By the time Pei Jiashu returned to the room, he had really fallen asleep.
The smart lights in the room automatically dimmed, with only Lin Xi’s screen flickering.
Pei Jiashu returned to the room, tiptoed to the bedside, and could only hear Lin Xi’s light snoring. He must have been tired from streaming during the day.
He took Lin Xi’s phone, the screen still lit, with messages constantly being sent to Lin Xi.
Mingxuan: [Sweetie, are you asleep?]
Mingxuan: [Why did you suddenly disappear?]
Pei Jiashu’s gaze landed on that intimate nickname, and his eyes darkened. Although Lin Xi had called him more intimate nicknames, those were just for show.
But seeing someone else call Lin Xi so affectionately, he couldn’t help but sneer.
Where was Lin Xi well-behaved? He was clearly a fiery hot pepper.
No wonder he was Lin Xi’s friend, just like him, they liked to distort the truth.
Pei Jiashu turned off Lin Xi’s phone and placed it on the bedside table. He tried to move as lightly as possible, lay down on the bed, and grabbed Lin Xi’s hand through the bear.
But he still couldn’t sleep.
Pei Jiashu turned over and lay on his side. The large bear blocked most of his view.
He suddenly felt that the bear was a bit of an eyesore.
Pei Jiashu wanted to wait for Lin Xi to push the bear down like yesterday, but today Lin Xi was particularly well-behaved.
He lay still on the bed.
He pulled at the bear doll, and Lin Xi immediately hugged the bear tightly.
“Hmph, what’s so good about hugging this thing?” Pei Jiashu chuckled.
His voice was particularly noticeable in the darkness, and Pei Jiashu himself was startled. Did he want Lin Xi to hug him?
Thinking of that warm embrace yesterday, his heart suddenly beat faster.
Pei Jiashu abruptly turned his body over, no longer looking at Lin Xi.
He must have been living alone for too long, that’s why he had this illusion.
Pei Jiashu patted his face and pressed down on his heart, as if this could calm his rapidly beating heart.
He didn’t like Lin Xi’s type.
Pei Jiashu thought about his ideal partner in his mind, but found that the image was already very blurry.
Instead, Lin Xi’s smiling face appeared in front of him.
He was startled and sat up from the bed, running to the first floor to gulp down a glass of cold water.
He must have been driven crazy by work today.
At this moment, Assistant Song, who had just finished overtime, stretched and couldn’t help but regret, “I definitely can’t watch live streams at work in the future. Even if I do, I have to work while watching.”
But he was almost certain that Pei Jiashu was the top supporter in Lin Xi’s live stream.
Today was also a day to ship the boss and the boss’s wife.
After drinking the water, Pei Jiashu lay back on the bed, looking at Lin Xi. Lin Xi had kicked off the quilt, but was still hugging the bear.
Pei Jiashu smiled helplessly and helped Lin Xi cover up with the quilt.
If Lin Xi woke up now, he would find that the way Pei Jiashu looked at him could melt into water.
But both of them were completely unaware.
Pei Jiashu lay on the bed, grabbed Lin Xi’s hand again, and fell asleep peacefully.
Lin Xi was woken up by Pei Jiashu’s alarm clock again the next day. He covered his ears, still not having slept enough.
Pei Jiashu turned off the alarm clock, went to the guest room on the first floor to wash up, and went out for a run.
After making a simple breakfast, he thought about it and went upstairs to knock on Lin Xi’s door to wake him up for breakfast.
Lin Xi greeted Pei Jiashu with a cowlick sticking up, and went to the first floor to wash up in his slippers. By the time he sat at the dining table, Pei Jiashu had already finished eating and was about to leave.
Lin Xi looked at the food on the table. Everything that hadn’t been eaten was covered with a lid, and it was still warm when opened.
Pei Jiashu was actually quite considerate when he had the time.
However, Lin Xi didn’t expect that he had become famous in the company for doing Jiang Yuan’s makeup. After arriving at the company today, many of the company’s seniors had come to him, wanting him to help them with their makeup.
