AWDC Chapter 8
by VolareMu Chuang laughed again, finally offering a compliment, “It’s Lin Xi’s blessing to have a good older sister like Tingting.”
As soon as he said that, Liang Ting beamed and quickly chimed in, “Of course, whatever Brother Chuang likes, I like. Brother Chuang dotes on his younger brother, so of course, I have to dote on him too.”
Mu Chuang maintained his smile, but Lin Xi felt a pang in his heart.
The other two women were stunned by Liang Ting’s aggressive onslaught, feeling that if they didn’t do something soon, they might be eliminated.
But a countermeasure needed to be carefully considered, not rushed in the moment.
“Then it’s settled,” Mu Chuang said, found a parking space, parked the car, and got out first.
The others followed.
Liang Ting had long legs, and with the praise she’d just received, she was all smiles as she caught up with Mu Chuang in a few strides, her intentions obvious.
Mu Chuang naturally put his long arm around her waist, her slender figure twisting and swaying, making him involuntarily pull her closer. The matching silhouettes of the two almost blinded those behind them.
Liu Jingjing followed resentfully, but only Fu Xiaoling noticed Lin Xi’s expression, feeling that her idea of dispelling her hostility towards him seemed wrong.
“This boy is interesting,” she glanced at him, thinking to herself, “If I’m not mistaken, he probably likes Mu Chuang too. This is going to be a good show.”
Then she composed herself, changed to a caring expression, and put on a superficial act, “Little brother, walk faster, don’t get lost.”
Lin Xi nodded and looked ahead. He felt he was only a few meters behind Mu Chuang, and the hot pot restaurant wasn’t far away. It was impossible to get lost. This was just a “kind” reminder from her.
Mu Chuang and the two women entered the hot pot restaurant first, and only then did he turn around and see the slow-moving Lin Xi, and couldn’t help but come back to take his hand.
“Your legs are longer than theirs, how can you still walk the slowest?” He complained, then led him into the restaurant in a few steps.
“Eat extra spicy or mild spicy?” He asked Lin Xi again, “It’s your first time, I’ll let you decide.”
“You ask…” Lin Xi was about to say, “You ask them,” but before he could finish, he saw Mu Chuang’s expression change, and quickly changed his words, “…mild spicy, I guess.”
Mu Chuang finally smiled, “That’s a good boy. Be bold about what you want, don’t always worry about others.”
After he finished speaking, he went to order food, leaving Lin Xi standing there savoring what he had just said. If the three women who were pursuing him weren’t standing in front of him, he would have almost thought that he was hinting at him.
But reality was in front of him. He liked women, and there was more than one chasing him. How could he have that kind of idea about himself?
Liang Ting had witnessed it, and felt that Mu Chuang’s pampering of this so-called younger brother was extraordinary. If she wanted to win in the end, she would have to continue to work on this little boy.
Liu Jingjing directly regarded him as an enemy, feeling that having this little boy around would greatly reduce her chances of spending time alone with Mu Chuang.
Only Fu Xiaoling was clear in her heart that this little boy’s thoughts about Mu Chuang were the same as theirs, and he might even become their strongest opponent. If she wanted to catch Mu Chuang, she had to kick him out.
But now his relationship with Mu Chuang was too strong. Perhaps she could use him first, and then attack him after kicking out the two women.
The women were each making their own calculations as they sat down at the table Mu Chuang had designated.
Lin Xi also followed, sitting alone on one side.
The owner quickly brought the soup base, and Mu Chuang came out with him.
The three women all clamored for him to sit next to them, but in the end, he chose to sit next to Lin Xi.
“It’s wrong to sit with anyone, so it’s better to sit next to Lin Xi, so it’s fair to everyone.” After he finished speaking, he didn’t forget to ask, as if wanting to be recognized, “Is that right, Lin Xi?”
When he asked, he habitually moved closer to the other person’s cheek, almost touching.
Lin Xi knew he didn’t mean to, but in front of the three women, he deliberately avoided it.
“Mm.” He shrank his neck, quietly moved away from him, and nodded with a slightly embarrassed smile.
At this moment, Liang Ting’s eyes changed, and she began to feel hostility towards Lin Xi again, always feeling that Mu Chuang and this little boy were somewhat ambiguous.
“What kind of brotherly relationship can surpass one’s future partner?” She wondered in her heart, feeling that she couldn’t find any other relationship besides that kind.
“Humph!” Liang Ting spat in her heart, “What a pity for my red money, I originally thought you were a ladder, but I didn’t expect you to be a stumbling block.”
At this time, the waiter brought the dishes, and the mutton was already in the pot. Mu Chuang turned up the heat, and soon the pot was bubbling.
The women mixed their own sauces, only Lin Xi was personally served by Mu Chuang.
After the sauce was mixed, when the meat in the pot was ready to eat, Mu Chuang first took a piece and tasted it himself, and then picked out a few boneless pieces for Lin Xi, and told him to eat slowly and not get burned.
Lin Xi slowly picked up his chopsticks, but unexpectedly Mu Chuang had already taken a small piece of meat out of his bowl, wanting to feed him.
“Cough cough~” Liang Ting deliberately cleared her throat, unable to watch Mu Chuang’s overly intimate behavior with Lin Xi, feeling that her eyes were about to be stabbed blind by them.
Mu Chuang gave up the idea of feeding Lin Xi, and only then remembered what he had promised her before getting in the car, and quickly picked up a few pieces of meat for her, and stood up and walked to her side, “Tingting, eat more too, fatten up early, get married early.”
Liang Ting picked up the bowl and took what he had picked for her, and hit him twice for implying that she was a pig, and scolded him back, “You rogue, can’t you just say something nice?”
Mu Chuang wasn’t angry when he was hit, but suddenly wanted to put a stamp on the woman’s face. This was something he had never done before, but unexpectedly, he was “disgusted” by the other party.
“Eat your food!” Liang Ting used a finger to push away his approaching forehead, giggling, “Eat it and wash it clean before you talk, don’t smear my face with oil.”
Just as displeasure flashed across Mu Chuang’s face, Liu Jingjing, who had been waiting for the opportunity, pulled him over, her flattery obvious, “If she doesn’t want to be kissed, I do, I don’t mind at all.”
After she finished speaking, she raised half of her face, signaling Mu Chuang to kiss her, wanting to highlight Liang Ting’s lack of tact.
Mu Chuang regained face with her, and as a reward, he actually wanted to kiss her, but unexpectedly, a roadblock appeared halfway.
“Brother Chuang,” Fu Xiaoling quickly used the other end of her chopsticks to lift his chin, signaling him to look at Lin Xi, “Little brother is still young, shouldn’t you, as an older brother, restrain yourself in front of him?”
Hearing this, Mu Chuang really followed her gaze and looked over, and saw Lin Xi drooping his eyelids at this time, not saying a word.
Besides that, there seemed to be some other things hidden.
In short, he looked unhappy, even a little sad.
