"You have deeply wounded my heart, and I cannot repair it in a short time."

"..."

Ji Muhan took a deep breath.

"You tell me, and I'll do it."

Mo Xiaoqing's expression immediately changed, her face beaming with a triumphant smile. She shamelessly leaned her cheek forward, pointing to her right cheek with her finger, her soft, sweet voice filled with excitement.

Give me a kiss.

"Give you a kiss?" Ji Muhan raised an eyebrow; her vivid expression was truly irresistible.

However, the little girl's ability to change her expression is faster than turning the pages of a book!

Mo Xiaoqing nodded vigorously.

He curled his lips into a smile and said slowly, "Do you think that's possible?"

Mo Xiaoqing raised her chin, revealing her pretty and delicate face, and said confidently.

"Why not? Can't you just consider it my New Year's gift? I've already prepared a New Year's gift, but you haven't given me anything. You can't refuse to give me this either, can you?"

He's getting better and better at making the little girl look pitiful and wronged. With just a few changes of expression, she can give him an accusing look, her eyes brimming with tears, as if they're about to fall at any moment.

If I didn't know her personality, I would have really been fooled by her acting skills. It's funny, though, that this little girl's acting skills are simply self-taught.

If he remembered correctly, her so-called New Year's gift was her deck of cards.

How could she have the nerve to keep talking about giving gifts?

Ji Muhan glanced at her with amusement, her voice as cold and indifferent as ever, "You really think your playing cards are a gift?"

This little girl is best at this kind of thing—turning the tables on someone else.

"No!" Mo Xiaoqing winked playfully, "That was just a bonus."

Ji Muhan silently raised an eyebrow.

Then I heard her say, quite shamelessly, "I'm the real gift! Where can you find such a wonderful gift? So, playing cards with you is the best gift!"

Although the process...

It was completely different from what she had imagined!

but…

Aren't we still living quite happily?

She even saw him smile! That proves that the gift she gave him was quite satisfactory!

"Isn't this incredibly unique? I guarantee this is a one-of-a-kind gift, one of a kind. No one else will give me the same gift!"

Ji Muhan fell silent.

That's really quite "original"!

Only a little girl would have the audacity to present herself as a gift...

And the way it was delivered was also "unique"!

Mo Xiaoqing raised her chin and asked him with a particularly arrogant air, "Don't you like the gift I gave you?"

"..." No, there really isn't one!

"At least I gave you a gift! What about you?" Mo Xiaoqing spread her hands, accusing him vehemently, "You didn't even offer a token of appreciation!"

There was a hint of grievance in her voice as she spoke.

Ji Muhan suddenly spoke, "Come here."

Without saying a word, he grabbed her chin, lifted it up, and sealed it with a kiss.

He was willing to give her anything she wanted, anything he had, even himself!

After the kiss ended.

"Gift!"

Mo Xiaoqing smiled sweetly, her dimples appearing and disappearing at the corners of her mouth, "I like it very much!"

"My embroidered umbrella is still at your house. You are as beautiful as a flower while I wander the world. It seems a little incongruous for you to brew me a cup of flower tea, and the atmosphere is starting to get a little awkward. But your shy smile is so charming. I can't help but feel worried about you. What era is this? I don't want to go home anymore..."

Mo Xiaoqing blinked. "It's my brother's phone call."

The two weren't far apart, so Ji Muhan could naturally see the notes on the screen, and she lowered her eyes without making a sound.

Mo Xiaoqing answered the phone and softly called out, "Brother."

Are you getting ready to leave?

"You're still here?" Mo Xiaoqing's eyes widened in surprise.

She thought he should have already gone back, since her brother hadn't said anything before.

"Um."

Hearing her brother's reply on the other end of the phone, Mo Xiaoqing frowned slightly in a funny way, but what she said was very obedient: "I'll come out right now."

"I'll see you out."

Since Ji Muhan said so, Mo Xiaoqing naturally wouldn't object.

As they were leaving, Ji Muhan suddenly grabbed her arm at the door. Mo Xiaoqing didn't react for a moment, looking at him with a somewhat bewildered expression. Her large, clean, and beautiful eyes were tilted up as she stared straight at him.

Ji Muhan could clearly see his face reflected in her eyes, and that clean yet somewhat questioning look stirred something within him.

A corner of his heart collapsed. Before he even realized it, his fingers had already pinched Mo Xiaoqing's cheek. Her soft and delicate skin felt especially good to touch.

"What are you doing? Weren't you planning to go out?"

Mo Xiaoqing had some doubts in her heart, and at the same time, an idea unconsciously popped into her head.

Hanhan suddenly grabbed her wrist. Was she planning to tell her to go out by herself?

Upon realizing this possibility, she immediately grabbed Ji Muhan's sleeve, her expression revealing undisguised dependence and reluctance.

"You can't let me go out by myself! I'm terrified of the dark. If you let me go out alone, I'd rather sleep here with you."

Her soft, sweet voice had a hint of coquetry, yet her words were full of blatant threats. But looking at her face, no one could possibly hold a grudge against her.
