Chapter 19: Little brothers are just for playing with

“Speak up, what did you hear today that caused your brain to short-circuit? I don’t believe you’re just full.” He understood things perfectly well and felt that this matter was related to those women.

Lin Xi paused, unsure where to put the washed bowl, and only placed it in the cupboard after a second of hesitation.

He had barely managed to muddle through in the workshop, but he didn’t expect Mu Chuang to bring it up again now, which was beyond his expectations.

“If you don’t believe me, fine. I can’t be bothered to explain,” Lin Xi said, puffing up his cheeks slightly, trying to bluff his way through.

He believed that as long as he showed displeasure, Mu Chuang would coax him and wouldn’t continue to press the issue, but who knew…

A puff of smoke blew towards his face, half of it entering his nostrils, stimulating him to the point of almost fainting, and he coughed repeatedly.

“What are you doing?!” He covered his nose, took two steps back, looking at Mu Chuang with some horror, complaining, “Trying to suffocate someone to death?”

“Hehe~” Mu Chuang smiled mischievously and leaned closer again, pinning him against the kitchen door. “Little brothers are just for playing with. I wouldn’t bear to suffocate you, but making you cry is possible.”

After speaking, he blew another puff of smoke at him, making Lin Xi’s face red, his ears flushed, and his eyes watery.

“Get away!” He pushed Mu Chuang away in a fierce but childish manner, then ran to the bed, staying far away from him, muttering in his mouth, “Utterly hateful!”

“Haha~” The culprit laughed, feeling extremely amused, and followed him again, his words carrying a faint threat, “If you don’t tell me, I’ll keep smoking you.”

“Don’t you dare.” Lin Xi, in a fit of “anger,” seized the opponent’s cigarette butt off guard and threw it into the trash can. “See how you’re going to smoke me now. If you light another one, I’ll throw it away again.”

Mu Chuang looked at the empty space between his fingers, then at the cigarette butt in the trash can, and then at the sulky Lin Xi, finding it both funny and infuriating. “Hehe, you’ve really grown bold, daring to go against me.”

“Do you know that if it were anyone else, they would have been beaten by me long ago?!” He added, then approached Lin Xi until he pinned him on the bed.

“What are you doing?” Lin Xi looked at him with some fear, his hands pinned above his head by the other party, in a pose that resembled surrender.

“Guess.” Mu Chuang smiled mischievously, acting like a hooligan, “Guess how I’ll punish you?”

This awkward posture, coupled with the other party’s mischievous expression, made Lin Xi’s face even redder, almost making him think he was going to do *that* kind of thing to him.

“Get off!” His head was a little dizzy, his face forced to accept the hot breath exhaled by the other party, feeling like he was about to burst into flames in the next second.

Mu Chuang still unknowingly held the other party’s wrist, and other than wanting to restrain him, he couldn’t think of what to do next.

The two were stuck in a stalemate like that.

Unconsciously, the sound of breathing intensified…

Mu Chuang looked at Lin Xi, and that strange feeling rose again.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside.

Judging from the sound, it was Liang Ting.

“What?” For some reason, being disturbed at this time made Mu Chuang feel a bit disappointed.

He released Lin Xi and went to open the door. Liang Ting couldn’t wait to come in.

She carried two bags in her hand and put them on the bed with great enthusiasm. “I bought you a set of clothes, and one for your brother too. Try them on to see if they fit. If they don’t, I’ll take them back to exchange them.”

Only after saying that did she notice Lin Xi sitting on the bed, his face flushed, his hair disheveled, and his clothes not very neat, and she suddenly felt extremely stifled.

A woman’s intuition told her that Mu Chuang’s impatient question to her just now hinted at what had happened inside.

A burst of anger was about to erupt, but when she thought of Liu Jingjing’s fate, she forcibly held it back.

“Brother Chuang, try it on quickly,” she said, picking up one of the bags and handing it to Mu Chuang with a sweet smile. “I went shopping at the mall tonight and accidentally took a fancy to it, so I bought it for you.”

Mu Chuang took it with a grin, and the disappointment just now disappeared because of the woman’s generosity. “Tingting, you’re so thoughtful. Brother Chuang doesn’t know how to thank you.”

“Don’t mention it,” Liang Ting said with a shy smile. “What kind of relationship do we have? Do we need to thank each other?”

Mu Chuang curled his lips and didn’t reply.

Liang Ting pretended not to notice and urged, “Try it on quickly. It’s still early now, so if it doesn’t fit, you can take it to exchange it as soon as possible.”

“Okay.” Mu Chuang responded and didn’t stand on ceremony with her. He picked up the clothes and started putting them on.

Taking advantage of this gap, Liang Ting handed the other bag to Lin Xi, but the other party refused to accept it no matter what. In the end, he was forced by Mu Chuang to try it on.

It was not difficult to see that the quality of Lin Xi’s set was obviously not as good as Mu Chuang’s, but it was already better than what he had worn before.

After all, it was a gift from someone else, so it was already good to have something to wear.

But…

Lin Xi became entangled again.

At this moment, Liang Ting’s voice rang out next to him, “This set fits your brother very well, but Brother Chuang’s set seems to be a bit small. You need to take it back to exchange for a larger size.”

“Indeed.” Mu Chuang moved his arms and felt a little tight. “Then I’ll trouble you, Tingting.”

“It’s no trouble,” Liang Ting said with a smile, but her next words were a bit unexpected. “Brother Chuang has a car, so we’ll go in a little while.”

The smile on Mu Chuang’s face froze. He thought Liang Ting would take it to exchange it herself, but he didn’t know that she had done it on purpose, deliberately buying a smaller size, wanting him to accompany her out late at night.

“What’s wrong, Brother Chuang? Are you unwilling?” She looked sad and said with a coquettish tone, “It’s late at night. Are you really at ease letting me go out alone? Besides, it’s to exchange it for you.”

“Alright.” Mu Chuang agreed. If he refused again, he felt like he didn’t deserve to be a man.

“Does Lin Xi want to go?” Thinking that he had been here for a few days, and he hadn’t taken him out to stroll around yet, he asked, taking advantage of the opportunity, “If you want to go, we’ll go together. The mall is very lively.”

“I…” Unexpectedly, Lin Xi was interrupted by Liang Ting as soon as he said a word. “This set fits your brother very well, and it’s not early now. I’m too lazy to run around. We’ll go and come back, very quickly.”

Lin Xi didn’t speak anymore.

He wasn’t a fool. How could he not see what her intentions were? This was obviously because she thought he was in the way, and she wanted to be alone with Mu Chuang.

“Okay then.” He squeezed out two words with difficulty and even guessed what would happen on this trip, but he couldn’t stop it.

And Mu Chuang didn’t force him, only saying that he would take him along next time, and then left with Liang Ting.

She finally sat in the passenger seat, and no one was fighting her for it. In this dark night, she stared at the man’s handsome profile, her heart pounding like a deer.

All the way, she was arranging the plans she had thought out in advance, afraid that something would go wrong during the implementation.

When they arrived at the mall, she first found the place where she had bought the clothes for Mu Chuang and exchanged them for him as soon as possible.

Then, as if to deliberately show off her figure, she went to a place that sold underwear and asked the salesperson to get her a few pieces to try on, and she also asked Mu Chuang to give her advice, mainly to entice him to take the bait.
