Chapter 12 She had a feeling of seducing young boys.

Chu Rou laughed awkwardly, "Haha, it's nothing, I'm going to cook, you should rest and recover!"

Chu Rou first took the iodine back to the room. She patted her mouth, realizing she had spoken without thinking and almost set a bad example for the child.

Mo Chi snorted coldly after Chu Rou left. "That damned old woman, is she trying to sell herself to make money? Trying to earn 500,000 in one go?"

He can afford it!

Chu Rou was busy in the kitchen by herself, while Mo Chi, supporting his injured index finger, sat at the dining table waiting for the meal to be served.

Braised pork belly, stir-fried pork with green peppers, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and a plate of cucumber salad were served. Finally, Chu Rou brought out two bowls of rice.

"The food is ready, let's eat!" Chu Rou handed the chopsticks to Mo Chi.

Mo Chi swallowed hard. He had to admit, the old woman's cooking skills were really good; the dishes looked very appetizing.

Mo Chi ate a couple of bites of the food; it was so delicious that he went to the refrigerator and got two cans of beer.

"Want a can?"

Chu Rou shook her head, "I dare not drink anymore, it's too embarrassing to drink too much."

A faint smile flickered in Mo Chi's eyes. He didn't insist and opened a can to drink it himself.

Chu Rou watched Mo Chi eating and drinking with great enjoyment, while she felt that the food in her mouth was dry and not as delicious anymore.

She reached for another can of beer next to the inkwell, reassuring herself, "I'll only drink one can, I shouldn't get drunk."

Mo Chi seemed not to hear, and continued to pour himself a drink.

Chu Rou took a sip of the ice-cold beer; it was so refreshing and invigorating!

After finishing one can, Mo Chi went to the refrigerator and took two more cans.

Chu Rou consciously took another can and continued drinking.

After drinking two cans of beer, Chu Rou was full and couldn't drink any more.

Mo Chi didn't drink any more; he had a large appetite, and most of the food had already gone into his stomach.

After the two finished eating, the plates were almost empty, and Mo Chi helped Chu Rou put the tableware in the sink.

Mo Chi rolled up his sleeves, intending to wash the dishes, but Chu Rou stopped him, saying, "Your hands are still cut; you can't get them wet. Let me do it."

Mo Chi lowered his sleeves to make room for Chu Rou.

Chu Rou:......

That brat probably never intended to wash the dishes!

Mo Chi went back to his room. After cleaning up the kitchen, Chu Rou was bored, so she sat in the living room and watched TV.

She found a horror movie to watch.

Chu Rou's eyes were fixed on the television screen, but her mind was elsewhere.

She recalled the five years she spent with He Wei. They never argued or quarreled. In her eyes, He Wei was the perfect boyfriend.

I would spend every holiday with her and buy her gifts.

I remember all her preferences, and when we eat out, I order her favorite dishes.

When it rains, the two of them share an umbrella. He will shield her under the umbrella, while half of his body gets wet each time.

He loved kissing her, but insisted on saving her virginity for after marriage.

The sweet past seemed like a beautiful dream woven for her by He Wei, but He Yin's phone call shattered that dream.

Chu Rou's tears flowed down her cheeks without her realizing it.

...

Mo Chi was disturbed by the sound from the TV. He came out and glanced at the TV, where a female ghost was climbing out of the well.

Mo Chi suddenly felt like playing a trick on him, so he turned off all the lights in the house.

The sudden darkness startled Chu Rou from her reverie. Her eyes focused on the television screen, just as the female ghost crawled out, a close-up of her face coming into view.

"Ah!" Chu Rou screamed and covered her eyes.

Mo Chi walked over and sat down next to Chu Rou, asking, "What's wrong?"

Hearing Mo Chi's voice, Chu Rou peeked through the crack and hugged him tightly, "Waaah...you scared me to death!"

Seeing Chu Rou's tear-streaked face, Mo Chi was surprised at how timid she was and felt a pang of guilt. "You... were you scared and cried?"

Chu Rou found an outlet for her emotions and buried her face in Mo Chi's shoulder, sobbing uncontrollably.

Mo Chi was at a loss. He gently patted Chu Rou and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have scared you. I thought you were pretty brave!"

"Waaah..." Chu Rou cried as she spoke, "Mo Baobao, tell me, why does that bastard He Wei ignore his girlfriend and go after other women?"

"Am I not beautiful enough? Do I not have a good figure? Am I not fun?"

Mo Chi's face turned ugly. So she was crying for that scumbag. "Is he really that good? Is he worth crying for?"

Chu Rou sobbed as she replied, "He was so good to me. Maybe I'll never find a man who's as good to me as he is."

"Who said that!" Mo Chi didn't like hearing that. So what if he was nicer to women? He could do that. "There are plenty of good men out there. Do you want to hang yourself on one tree?"

"It's still a broken tree with rotten roots."

These words pierced Chu Rou's heart. Yes, He Wei's heart was definitely black; he was a big liar. It wasn't worth it for her to be heartbroken over someone like that.

She wiped away her tears, got up from Mo Chi's shoulder, and was about to sit up when she caught a glimpse of the TV screen, where there was another close-up of a female ghost's face. Startled, Chu Rou snuggled back into Mo Chi's arms.

"Turn off the TV, I'm not watching it."

Mo Chi's eyes searched for the TV remote and found it on Chu Rou's other side. He reached out to grab it, but it was a bit far away.

He wrapped one arm around Chu Rou's waist and leaned forward to reach the remote control. He didn't control his strength well, and he and Chu Rou fell onto the sofa, with Chu Rou on the bottom and Mo Chi on top.

Chu Rou stared in surprise at the ink pool on her body with her almond-shaped eyes.

Mo Chi showed no intention of getting up, staring down at Chu Rou's lips before slowly lowering his head.

Their lips drew closer and closer, and Chu Rou's eyes widened.

Just as they were about to kiss, Chu Rou realized something was amiss, "Mo...Mo Chi!"

The TV suddenly turned off, plunging the living room into complete darkness.

"Your snot is coming out."

Mo Chi stood up, left the living room, turned on the main light switch, and walked towards his room without looking back.

The room was as bright as day. Chu Rou slowly sat up from the sofa, took a few tissues from the coffee table, and wiped away her tears and snot.

She glanced at Mo Chi's room. If she wasn't mistaken, that brat Mo Chi's body had reacted to her.

Chu Rou pounded her head, it must have been those two cans of beer that upset her. If she hadn't cried, Mo Chi wouldn't have come over to hug and comfort her.

Honestly, it feels like I'm trying to abduct a young boy.

Chu Rou went to the bathroom to wash up, took a quick shower, and then returned to her room, locking the door behind her.

After lying in bed scrolling through her phone for a while and calming down, Chu Rou turned off the lights and went to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Chu Rou was sleeping soundly when her phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated, waking her up. She picked up the phone and glanced at the caller ID; it was a local, unknown number.

Without thinking much, she pressed the answer button, "Hello?"

The sound of a woman sobbing came from the phone, and Chu Rou immediately perked up, every hair on her body standing on end!

Chu Rou, who had just been frightened by a female ghost in a movie the night before, jumped out of bed, banged on the door, and shouted, "Mo Chi, save me!"
