Chapter 72: Sleeping Together Again

Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xi glared back at him, adding a “Get out!”

This was a word he had never said to him since childhood, not even to anyone else. Tonight, he used it on Mu Chuang for the first time ever, which could be considered an honor for the latter.

Mu Chuang’s expression darkened for a moment, but it quickly melted away. Not only did he not leave, but he also pulled Lin Xi into his arms. Taking the pastry that Lin Xi had bitten into, he left another row of teeth marks on it.

“Delicious,” he praised, half sincerely and half jokingly. Thinking that it was Lin Xi who had bitten it, he suddenly became very sincere. “Very delicious. I’ve never had such a delicious pastry in my life. What do you think, Xi Xi?”

To his surprise, Lin Xi’s face darkened. He directly put down the remaining small half of the pastry in his hand and said with a look of disgust, “Not delicious. Not delicious at all. Disgustingly bad.”

Mu Chuang’s face turned green. Was he so disgusted with him? Was it just because he had taken a bite?

Thinking of this, certain images resurfaced, causing a wave of heartache.

“This plate is delicious,” he suppressed the discomfort and deliberately changed the subject. “Try this plate. Give me all the ones you think are bad, and you eat this plate of delicious ones, okay?”

Although he didn’t know if Lin Xi was really hungry, he always wanted him to eat more when food was in front of him.

Lin Xi slowly picked up another pastry from the other plate and took a bite. To be honest, the previous one was actually more delicious, but now he had no choice but to pick it up and chew it slowly.

Mu Chuang was also sensible. This time, he refrained from biting anything from his hand and instead ate the plate of pastries that Lin Xi deliberately disliked in a carefree manner.

It wasn’t that he wanted to eat it, but he knew that Lin Xi couldn’t finish it anyway. If he couldn’t finish it, he would procrastinate, maybe until midnight or even dawn before going to bed. He didn’t want him to do that, didn’t want him to stay up late and hurt his health.

A plate of pastries was quickly emptied, but Lin Xi’s plate was still full. He suddenly had a new idea. Maybe…

He was scheming in his heart, unaware that someone was eavesdropping behind a wall…

“Master,” the young Taoist whispered, crouching against the outer wall of the backyard, “Are you sure the people inside those two shells have been switched?”

“Does that even need to be said?” the old Taoist replied, also keeping his voice very low. “Didn’t you hear their conversation? It’s obviously not right, especially Mu Chuang. I don’t know what kind of evil spirit has taken over his body. I suspect that he also harmed the owner of that resentment. Those two people we were chasing just now were also under his command. If you don’t believe me, just wait and see. Master must get to the bottom of this.”

“But…” the young Taoist hesitated, “…he’s protected by the county magistrate. It’s difficult for us to even get in, let alone investigate him. We might get into trouble.”

“What are you afraid of?” the old Taoist replied. “As long as we find out the truth about him, are we still afraid that the county magistrate won’t believe us? If we can’t get in, we won’t. We just don’t believe he’ll never come out.”

The young Taoist didn’t speak this time, as if he was thinking or silently agreeing.

Even though their movements were very light, Mu Chuang inevitably noticed them. The rustling sounds made him stop teasing Lin Xi. After guessing who it was, he made the other person cooperate with him in acting out another scene.

Lin Xi refused and was forcibly thrown into the bed by him.

“You don’t… um…”

“Be good. I haven’t touched you in days. If I move too violently, I won’t be able to control my strength.”

“…Um…”

“Relax, your husband will try to be gentle.”

“…Um…No…”

The bed shook, and there was a commotion in the room, making the two people outside the wall blush.

Especially the young Taoist, who was about to collapse.

“Let’s go.” The old Taoist finally relented. Actually, he couldn’t stand this kind of scene either. He was afraid that his Taoist heart would become unstable and all his previous efforts would be wasted.

Without the two eavesdroppers, the commotion in the room immediately stopped.

Although everything just now was for show, Mu Chuang couldn’t help but kiss Lin Xi for real as he was acting, and he also messed up Lin Xi’s clothes.

Lin Xi was bullied to the point of crying by him. Looking at his disheveled appearance, he couldn’t help but think of that night. All the bitterness surged into his heart, and he could no longer maintain his aloof image, turning into a real person with flesh and blood.

Mu Chuang lay on top of him, coaxing him, “Don’t cry. Brother didn’t hurt you. It’s just a few kisses, why are you so sad?”

“Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted? Brother is giving it to you now, but you’re acting like this. What’s going on?” He said the last sentence in his heart, just to complain. Actually, he knew this reason was untenable, and he wasn’t confident enough to that extent yet.

Lin Xi didn’t answer him, just kept sobbing, his eyelashes covered with glistening tears. Some of the tears even slid into his neck, staining a few strands of long hair, sticking to his chest, wet, rising and falling with his breath, broken and beautiful, making someone who only wanted to act unable to remain calm, and giving rise to the idea of doing it for real.

“Xi Xi…” He pressed his body down, trying to get closer to him, “I want…”

“Get out!” Lin Xi finally couldn’t help but roar, anger replacing his crying. He didn’t even sob anymore at this moment, “Get off.”

Being roared at by the other party, Mu Chuang froze. The evil fire in his body slowly subsided due to the other party’s resistance. After calming down, he realized that he had gone too far. He didn’t expect that he actually had the idea of attacking Lin Xi just now.

“I’m sorry,” he finally felt a trace of guilt and slowly propped himself up. “It was Brother who went too far. Brother promises, I will never force you next time without your permission.”

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Lin Xi thought he was going to be a decent person, but hearing the second half made him clearly know that this person was still a beast.

Mu Chuang finally got off him, but he didn’t intend to let him go. Instead, he wanted to hug him to sleep as usual.

An arm slowly passed through the back of his neck, wanting to pull him into his arms, but he was thrown away by the other party as expected.

Lin Xi turned sideways, facing his back to Mu Chuang, and then, like in that world, buried his head in the quilt, silently sulking.

At this moment, a long-lost sense of familiarity came over him. Mu Chuang felt that the current Lin Xi was real, and he was also rarely not using Lin Yu’s identity to hide himself.

“Xi Xi,” despite being disliked by the other party, he still shamelessly stuck to him, especially on such a quiet night. Lying in the same bed, he couldn’t help but want to pour his heart out and say a lot of things to him, and then preferably be able to hug him to sleep. “Give Brother a hug.”

Lin Xi didn’t say a word.

No matter how much the other party talked, he still didn’t say a word.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Chuang probably also realized his own boredom and finally closed his mouth.
