Chapter 45 If Su Zeya's departure was intentional, if the young master...

The room was lit by a nightlight, and the only other light source was the changing light from the movie projection screen.

The room was bathed in a lustrous, deep blue light, which shifted and flowed throughout the bedroom.

Li Xin's skill level has improved a bit, but he's still very fierce, as if he wants to swallow her whole, licking and biting Su Jinmu's lips.

Su Jinmu's wrist was pressed down and she was pinned to the carpet. She couldn't move away and tried to turn her head to prevent the other person from getting close to her lips, but suddenly a hand pressed against the back of her ear.

It was rough and hot, pressed against his cheek.

"Young master, don't hide."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu's breathing became rapid, and her lips felt numb. There was already some sharp blood on her lips, and after being kissed for so long, she couldn't breathe and couldn't help but bite back.

The wound broke open again, and a faint, sweet, fishy smell spread.

Li Xin was very excited and didn't feel any pain. His smile was strange as he frantically rubbed his lips against Li Xin's, making the scarlet rouge even darker.

Staring at the young master sculpted by Xueyu, staring at the scarlet mark on his lips that belonged to him, his smile widened, becoming eerie and sinister.

Like a madman.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu: "…………"

After struggling for a long time, the carpet was still a bit hard. Su Jinmu's back ached terribly. She was panting as the boy picked her up and carried her to the edge of the bed. She licked her lips, her voice hoarse.

"water."

Li Xin was clearly still excited. When he heard the young master call him, he looked around, picked up the watermelon he had just eaten, used a small spoon to lift it up, and fed it to the young master.

Su Jinmu's eyes were half-closed, her long eyelashes drooping slightly, her breathing still rapid. Her thick, dark eyelashes trembled, and beneath the thin skin of her neck, the blood vessels rose and fell with her breath, her blood surging vividly.

Anran sat on the carpet, completely surrounded by the bed and the boy next to her, with nowhere to hide.

She can only be in his arms.

Li Xin stared intently, his smile widening as he touched the young master's lips with the edge of his spoon. "Young master, have a bite."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu opened her eyes, her bright eyes slightly red at the corners. She looked up at him, her gaze both alluring and alluring, yet also clear and captivating.

Li Xin's breathing suddenly became heavier, his eyes darkened slightly, and he tightened his grip on the small spoon.

Su Jinmu felt his lips being pressed tightly by a small metal spoon. Before he could open his mouth, the small metal spoon had already pressed into his lips, gently hooking around the soft flesh inside.

The boy in front of me had dark eyes and a constantly curving smile.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu was thirsty and exhausted, so she opened her teeth and put the watermelon flesh held in the spoon into her mouth.

Before his tongue could roll away, the small metal spoon pressed in, barely touching his tongue.

"Hmm..."

Su Jinmu narrowed her eyes, grunted, bit into the watermelon, pushed the small spoon out with the tip of her tongue, and glanced indifferently at the crazy boy in front of her, "Don't put the small spoon in."

Li Xin felt a shiver run down his spine, his eyes darkening further, and a smirk appeared on his scarlet lips. "Then, young master, may I feed you like this?"

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu had little strength, so she glanced at him indifferently, remained still, and waited for the boy to feed her watermelon.

Li Xin glanced at him, a smile spreading across his face.

Another piece of watermelon flesh was put into my mouth. This time, the little spoon behaved itself and gently withdrew when it reached my lips and teeth.

Su Jinmu bit into the watermelon to prevent it from being taken away with her.

The crisp, sweet watermelon, juicy and moist, made the young master's lips appear even more vibrant.

Li Xin's Adam's apple bobbed, and his eyes darkened slightly.

Just as Su Jinmu took the next bite of watermelon, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Hmm..."

A hot body drew near, lips pressed against hers, and Su Jinmu looked up unexpectedly. The boy's gaze was fixed on her, dark and mad, aggressively pressing against her teeth.

Su Jinmu frowned slightly. The piece of watermelon flesh was rolled up, and the juice was overflowing. The boy licked it away as well.

Like a traveler who has been thirsty for a long time, not letting go of even a trace of sweetness, it lingers on the tip of his tongue.

Su Jinmu: "..."

He's the one who's thirsty, okay?

He was very thirsty!

Tsk.

Su Jinmu pushed him away and took another bite of watermelon. The boy, who was next to her, came over and tried to snatch it away, taking three pieces in a row.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu didn't get a single bite.

You son of a bitch.

Su Jinmu frowned. Her mouth was already dry, and the repeated provocations only made her feel even hotter.

When the boy pressed his lips to his again, trying to snatch the watermelon from him, Su Jinmu pursed his lips, his tongue curling back and forth, and his teeth biting hard, crushing the crisp watermelon flesh.

Juice flowed freely, their breaths mingled nearby, and the boy tried to snatch it back, but Su Jinmu bit down on his unrestrained tongue as well.

"Hmm..."

Li Xin was bitten and retreated a few steps. He looked at the young master's red and wet lips, which were reflected on his porcelain-white face and were unusually alluring.

Li Xin laughed, rubbed his lips against the corner of his mouth, and licked it with the tip of his tongue. His tone was dark and strange, becoming increasingly manic, "Young Master can swallow my tongue along with him."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu: "…………"

Damn, you're insane.

Su Jinmu glanced at him casually, too thirsty to bother with him, and took the watermelon herself, eating a few bites to replenish her fluids.

He lowered his eyes, staring at the watermelon in his arms, his lips opening and closing slightly with the movement, revealing a glimpse of his teeth and a fleeting glimpse of his tongue.

rosy and soft.

It has a sweet and refreshing aroma.

Li Xin's eyes were dark and thick, and his blood was rushing through his body.

After Su Jinmu finished eating the watermelon, she grabbed the young master's waist, rubbed his neck, and pulled him into another vortex.

.

Li Xin was clearly still suspicious. He followed Su Jinmu wherever she went, never leaving her side, as if he wanted to stick to her body.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Although she's a bit clingy, it's alright.

Consider it a way to appease this thing before it dies, to keep it from being too wary.

Su Jinmu stood at the door, looking at the boy standing close behind her. Through his thin summer clothes, she could almost feel his body temperature. She clicked her tongue in amazement.

"I'm going out for a bit, are you coming with me?"

Li Xin: "??"

"go!"

Li Xin paused for a moment, then quickly nodded, a slight smile curving his lips.

"Wherever the young master goes, I will go."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu twitched the corner of her mouth, looking at him with a half-smile, before stepping out the door.

Li Xin stared intently at him, her eyes scrutinizing him.

The young master said he wouldn't leave, and then said he would wait a while and slowly consider recognizing the Xu family.

I don't know how much of it is true and how much is false.

Li Xin curled his lips, his face cold and sinister, like a water ghost that had just crawled out, wet and close to Su Jinmu.

He wouldn't let the young master out of his sight.

Li Xin stared at the person and chuckled softly twice.

Su Jinmu: "…………"

That's insane!

Su Jinmu went with him, hailed a car, and drove away.

Li Xin glanced out of the car; it wasn't the familiar road.

"Where is the young master going?"

"...You'll know when you get there."

Li Xin stared at him, her tone casual, "Is it just the two of us who came out?"

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu nodded, "Mm."

When the car arrived at a relatively remote place, we got off at a huge flower and plant market. Each shop and stall displayed all kinds of plants and flowers. As we walked into the middle, the air felt much more moist and fresh, with flowers and plants everywhere.

Li Xin raised an eyebrow and followed Su Jinmu inside.

...Young master, are you here to buy flowers?

Su Jinmu looked around. He didn't lack flowers; most of the plants here were already mature plants. He preferred to cultivate them little by little from seeds or seedlings.

Flowers, plants, or anything else are fine.

He came mainly to see the soil.

Places that sell flowers usually also sell the corresponding soil.

Su Jinmu lowered her gaze slightly, glanced at Li Xin who was following her, and casually looked around.

Just in case, we need to find a way to bury him in the passageway beneath the glass greenhouse after he dies.

Su Jinmu looked at several places, studied the soil quality, and found that it was similar to the original soil in the greenhouse, so she bought some.

Li Xin smiled slightly, leaned close behind him, tilted her head slightly, and looked him over with an ambiguous expression, her tone low and slow, "Young Master, what are you buying soil for?"

"Some of the soil in the flowerpot needs to be changed."

Su Jinmu's expression was ordinary as she calmly said, "Some of them have been growing for a long time, and the pot is full of roots with not much soil left."

Su Jinmu bought a lot. The soil looks small, but it's very heavy. She pointed and gestured for Li Xinquan to carry it.

Two bags, normally you can hold one in each hand to distribute the weight.

But with both hands occupied, looking at the carefree young master, a dark and heavy emotion suddenly surged in Li Xin's heart, as if he were afraid that the young master would suddenly disappear.

He lifted her up with one hand and raised the other, gently grasping the hem of Su Jinmu's clothes.

"Young Master."

Su Jinmu's clothes were tugged, and a low, muffled, pitiful voice came from close behind her ear, "Wait for me, I can't keep up."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu turned around, speechless as he held one bag in one hand and the other hand wrapped around her. She pursed her lips and asked, "Should I carry one bag?"

Li Xin moved the soil back and shook his head, "It's not heavy."

He stared at Su Jinmu, his eyes obedient, his dark skin gentle, and he smiled, "Young Master, just let me hold your hand."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu, followed by a tail, bought two more portions, making a total of four bags, which Li Xinquan carried in one hand.

With her other hand, she persistently tugged at the hem of his clothes, getting closer and closer until she was almost touching his back.

"..."

Su Jinmu was a little overwhelmed.

.

P's identity was exposed, and Su Jinmu was taken there by Li Xin. Before he could even sit down properly, he was shoved into the car, who said he was too tired lately and was taking him to rest and relax.

Su Jinmu didn't think much of it and let him do as he pleased. When they arrived, they found it was a hot spring resort they had never been to before, even more remote than the one they had stumbled upon while watching a shooting star last time.

Why not go to the one we went to last time?

Su Jinmu looked at Li Xin with a puzzled expression. The boy pursed his lips, took Su Jinmu's hand, and pressed it against his waist.

Su Jinmu: "???"

Oh right, that hot spring resort has a mermaid show.

Li Xin was always unhappy with that performance.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu smiled, the corners of her lips curving upwards, and without saying anything more, she lifted her leg and walked inside.

It's hot now, so it's not really the best time to soak in hot springs, but it's okay to relax a bit.

Su Jinmu followed Li Xin inside. They had already booked a spot in advance; it was a small hot spring with clear water that rippled gently.

The surrounding environment is very quiet, with different hot springs far apart and separated by lush vegetation, ensuring privacy and comfort.

Su Jinmu looked around, and Li Xin grabbed her wrist and led her forward. They had just reached the intersection, and the reserved spot was just ahead.

Before he could take a step, he was caught off guard by a surprised voice.

"Jin Mu?!"

Xu Sibai had already changed his clothes, dressed simply and loosely. When he saw Su Jinmu, his eyes lit up, and he strode forward, "What are you doing here? Are you here for a soak in the hot springs?"

Su Jinmu paused, "Mr. Xu?"

"Call me Uncle." Xu Sibai smiled with surprise. "I asked you to come out and play a couple of days ago, but you said you had something to do. Turns out you came to the hot springs too? Oh my, what a coincidence. Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Su Jinmu paused for a moment, not saying anything, and glanced at the quiet and obedient boy standing to the side.

A few days ago, the Xu family invited him to come over. He thought that he should just have normal interactions with the Xu family, neither too close nor too distant, just ordinary interactions.

So I declined.

...I never expected this...

Su Jinmu glanced at Li Xin out of the corner of her eye. The boy was standing there, with dark eyebrows and eyes. He smiled slightly, gentle and docile, and seemed to be surprised as he rubbed his wrist.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Xu Yu and Su Han also strolled over from the road and were equally surprised and delighted to see Su Jinmu.

Xu Sibai smiled and said, "Perfect timing. We ordered a combo package. Jinmu, come to the bar with us. Don't worry, the men and women are separated."

Li Xin brought Su Jinmu here under the identity of P, but now he has hidden it again, pretending to be a servant of the Su family, and said with a smile, "Young Master, go ahead, I'll wait for you at the hot spring we booked."

Xu Sibai was not familiar with him, and nodded upon hearing this.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu stared at Li Xin, who was meek and smiled before turning away.

The young master did not want to acknowledge the Xu family, so he was allowed to help bridge the gap, but he was not allowed to have the Xu family conduct a DNA test directly.

Whether it's a delaying tactic or something else.

Now that his anorexia and P's identity have been exposed, he doesn't mind exposing the Xu family as well.

Li Xin's eyes darkened slightly, and he curled his lips into an ambiguous smile, licking his scarlet lips.

If the young master wants to leave, the Xu family's ties should provide an extra layer of resistance.

Li Xin's eyes were dark and unfathomable.

Su Jinmu was half-pushed and half-pulled by Xu Sibai to the hot spring pool that the Xu family had reserved.

It's a family-sized model, with two small pools quite close together, separated by men's and women's pools, with a partition in the middle to block the view but not to interfere with conversation.

Su Han and Xu Yu went into another small pool, while Su Jinmu was urged by Xu Sibai to change her clothes and then went into the hot spring with him.

The water was slightly hot. Once inside, you could feel the heat enveloping your body. The warm, flowing hot spring water enveloped your body, and your muscles and bones felt relaxed.

All the fatigue was released, and I felt much more relaxed.

Xu Sibai smiled and looked at Su Jinmu, "How are you feeling? Are you comfortable?"

Su Jinmu nodded.

"You silly child," Xu Sibai clicked his tongue. "If you had something to say, you should have said so earlier. We could have come together on the way."

"I originally wanted to take you to a hot spring, but you said you had something to do, which disappointed me. In the end, we still ended up at a hot spring."

Xu Sibai laughed, "We're quite in sync."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu smiled.

It might not be a meeting of minds, but rather something premeditated.

"Does Jinmu usually like to take baths?" Xu Sibai asked, pulling him aside to chat.

Su Jinmu nodded, "I will when I have time."

Xu Sibai smiled, "Mumu likes it too. When he was little, he loved playing in the water and would stay in the bathtub for a long time without crying or making a fuss."

Su Jinmu: "..."

"I was just saying, don't take it to heart." Xu Sibai recalled the previous test results, her voice gentle. "Are you really not angry with us?"

It was very impolite and offensive to test them so many times.

Su Jinmu pursed her lips slightly and shook her head, "No, don't overthink it."

"What's wrong with you being angry?" Su Han's voice came from the other end, tinged with doubt. "Si Bai, what did you do to make Jin Mu angry?"

Su Han looked at Xu Yu strangely, "Yu Yu, do you know?"

Xu Yu: "..."

Xu Sibai: "..."

Su Han was completely unaware of the DNA test and probing beforehand. Xu Yu clicked her tongue, her face indifferent, and made up a story, "Maybe, maybe Dad added too much salt when he cooked one day, and Jin Mu was too embarrassed to say it."

Su Han: "???"

ah?

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu responded, "...It's alright, not too salty."

Su Han: "???"

Su Han looked completely bewildered.

It's generally not a problem to add too much salt to scallops.

Xu Yu pulled Su Han's hand to distract her, but her mind was elsewhere.

She felt something was off about the texture of her hair last time, but she hadn't told her dad about it yet.

I wonder if her dad can secretly pull out a hair while soaking in the hot spring.

.

Su Jinmu soaked in the water for a while, chatting with the Xu family members. When it was almost time, she got up and went home.

Li Xin had said he would wait for him at the hot spring pool they had booked, but since the purpose of this trip was to meet the Xu family, Li Xin was unlikely to go for a soak, so he went straight to his room.

really.

The boy was in the room.

To the left of the door, a thin sliding door is wide open, revealing a bubbling hot spring with a light mist inside.

The boy, soaking wet, was in the hot spring. As he approached the edge, he saw Su Jinmu walking towards him step by step, her pale, strong arm outstretched.

Like a water ghost, it grabbed the young master's ankle and tilted its face up.

"Is the young master more familiar with the Xu family?"

Su Jinmu looked down at him. He was standing by the hot spring, wearing loose clothes and slippers, his fair ankles exposed.

Her hands, rough as they were held by a boy, became damp.

Nearby, a boy stood by the pool, his eyebrows and eyes dark and deep, his lips scarlet.

Wet and astringent, a veritable alluring ghost.

Su Jinmu lifted her leg, took off her slipper on the foot that wasn't being held, and stepped on the boy's bare shoulder.

His shorts were so loose that they let in a draft when he lifted them. Li Xin looked up, his breath quickened, and a smirk appeared on his scarlet lips. “Young Master is unhappy with what I did?”

Li Xin tightened his grip on the other man's ankle, a glint of desire in his eyes, his smile cunning. "It was the young master who said he would allow me to help you bridge the gap, until both sides are fully aware of the situation."

Su Jinmu didn't speak, she just looked at him and clicked her tongue.

That damn thing.

That's really troublesome.

He pressed down hard on the boy's shoulder, and Li Xin's smile widened, his mouth gaping open in a strange and perverse way, his voice soft and obedient.

"Young Master, why are you ignoring me? If you're angry, you can step on my shoulders with both feet at the same time."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Is that the proper posture for being angry?

Su Jinmu twitched the corner of her mouth, looking at Li Xin with a headache and a meaningful expression.

Putting aside many other things, he actually quite liked Li Xin's crazy side.

It felt great.

Su Jinmu withdrew her foot, turned around calmly, and said, "Come out."

He put on his shoes and walked inside. Li Xin suddenly stood up, the sound of water sliding down his face was loud, his eyebrows and eyes darkened slightly, and he followed.

He thought the young master was unhappy and wanted to leave or go somewhere, so he strode forward and was about to grab the other's wrist.

Su Jinmu found a sofa, turned around and sat down casually, glancing at him indifferently.

With the light blocked, Su Jinmu casually kicked the boy's calf, and the boy obediently spread his knees and knelt down in front of him.

My body was still soaking wet, carrying the scorching heat of the hot spring water.

Su Jinmu raised an eyebrow, stepped on the boy's waist and abdomen, feeling the supple and powerful sensation beneath. She stepped on him a few times and shifted her position.

"Hmm..."

The boy groaned, a surge of desire suddenly appearing in his dark eyes. He licked his lips, looked at him excitedly, and grasped the slender ankle. "Young Master."

The boy's body temperature suddenly rose. Su Jinmu raised an eyebrow and slowly withdrew her leg. "Let go and do it for me yourself."

Li Xin took a deep breath, his eyes growing darker. His fingertips didn't loosen their grip, his rough fingertips rubbing against the thin skin on the young master's ankle, turning that small patch red. His body temperature rose even higher.

"release."

Su Jinmu kicked him.

The boy's eyes were dark, but his scarlet lips turned down as if he were somewhat pitiful. He didn't want to give it to her, but he still obediently let go.

With his eyes fixed on the young master, he did as instructed.

Those eyes stared straight at him, like snakes, slithering along every inch of his skin, or like water ghosts, sticking to him wetly.

His breathing was heavy and labored.

Su Jinmu smiled, feeling as if he wanted to poke a hole in him under that gaze, and clicked her tongue in disbelief.

Looking around, she grabbed the large towel she had just used and casually covered his head with it.

"Don't look, just do it like this."

"Young Master."

Li Xin couldn't see or touch the other person, but his heart tightened and his face darkened. Instinctively, he raised his hand and reached out to grab the other person's ankle in the same direction as before.

He gripped his fist tightly, his palm clenched, not loosening his grip even slightly. His tone was low, yet a hint of malice seemed to surge within him. "Young Master, you can only choose between not being able to see or not being able to touch."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Tsk.

Still so vigilant.

Su Jin lowered her eyes, her clear and bright eyes scrutinizing her. After thinking for a moment, she decided to offer more reassurance to avoid keeping a close watch on her every day.

Li Xin couldn't see his expression or hear his voice, so his vigilance deepened, and his eyes darkened. Just as he was about to move, the ankle he was holding in his hand twitched.

But instead of breaking free, she lifted him up and slowly and deliberately stepped on his waist and abdomen.

"Hurry up, I don't want to watch it anymore."

Li Xin: "..."

Li Xin lowered his eyes, relaxed his breathing for two seconds, but his eyes remained dark and deep.

"Hurry up," Su Jinmu urged him, patting him on the shoulder.

Li Xin had a large towel on his head that the young master had used; it was still damp, and a sweet fragrance wafted out and reached his nose.

Li Xin's breathing became heavier, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he lowered his head, the towel hanging down, just enough to see the scene in front of him.

On his waist, the young master's ankles were slender, with protruding ankle bones supporting thin skin, and faint blue veins could be seen.

It's beautiful and delicate, making one want to hold it close and grasp it tightly.

I wanted to leave red fingerprints on that ring of fair skin, and then add teeth marks.

A hint of lust emanated from Li Xin, his scarlet lips curling upwards as he gripped the ankle bone while staring intently at it, his chest heaving rapidly.

Unaware that he was secretly watching her with great excitement, Su Jinmu propped her chin on one hand and leisurely looked at the boy nearby.

The boy's muscles were clearly defined, exuding power. They were covered in water droplets, and with each deep breath, the temperature gradually rose, becoming warm and slightly hot, his chest heaving.

His skin was pale, and he had a wild yet lifeless appearance.

eerie and alluring.

Su Jinmu rested her chin on her hand, a smile playing on her lips, and examined the object with great interest.

He's just a bit too fierce.

It would be better to be calmer and more restrained.

Su Jinmu had a faint smile on her face, her eyebrows slightly curved, and she looked beautiful and charming.

.

The Xu family will stay at the hot spring resort for a few more days. Li Xin has also booked a room a long time ago and is not in a hurry to leave.

During the day, Su Jinmu was called out by Xu's family to take a walk and relax at her leisure.

Li Xin stayed in his room, checking the messages sent by his subordinates.

Su Jinmu forbade him to directly help the Xu family with DNA testing, so he changed his approach and investigated how Su Jinmu was adopted by the Su family back then.

but……

How come I can't find it?

Li Xin's expression was slightly cold, as if he were deep in thought.

He checked the records of all orphanages and welfare homes in Jingzhou and even the surrounding areas from more than a decade ago.

There is no such person as Su Jinmu.

In the early years, the Su family's business was not large, and they often took Su Zeya on trips to various places, sometimes for a long time.

So later, when acquaintances saw that the Su family had another child, they didn't think much of it and assumed that the child was born while they were traveling.

If Su Jinmu hadn't mentioned it to Su Zeya himself, no one would have guessed that Su Jinmu wasn't the biological daughter of the Su family.

How did the young master arrive at the Su family?

Li Xin frowned slightly.

On the other side, the Li family was constantly attacked, and their decline became increasingly obvious, showing signs of desperation.

On the surface, P wasn't targeting the Li family, but the timing was sensitive, and the Li family was keeping a close eye on things. He didn't launch a large-scale investigation to avoid implicating the young master.

...We still need to crush the Li family as soon as possible.

Li Xin's eyes showed no emotion as he sent out a few messages.

.

Su Jinmu stayed at the villa with the Xu family for a few days. After returning home, she chose a time when Li Xin was leaving and went into the glass greenhouse.

The soil he bought earlier is still in the greenhouse, untouched.

Qiao Tingrui was nearby and knew that the soil was for changing flower pots, so he stepped forward and blinked, "Second Young Master Su, which ones need to be changed? I'll help too."

Su Jinmu glanced at him, shook her head, and casually said, "Changing the soil is easy to kill, I can do it myself."

"Ah, I see." Qiao Tingrui squatted down on the spot, watching Su Jinmu's movements, without thinking too much, "Then I'll learn first and see how to change it, so I'll know how to change it next time."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu glanced around casually. Li Xin hadn't returned. "No need. Changing the soil isn't a frequent thing. It's only this time. It won't be very frequent after this. You can go and do your thing."

Qiao Tingrui obediently said "Oh," nodded, and stood up. "Then, Second Young Master Su, call me if you need anything."

Su Jinmu: "Mm."

After Qiao Tingrui left, Su Jinmu busied herself with the flowerpots and soil for a while, eventually taking a pot of flowers out of its original pot, roots and all.

He paused, got up, walked to the glass wall, and looked at the sun outside, as if assessing the effect of sunlight on the plants.

He raised his hand and casually turned the glass to an opaque, pure black, then silently locked the door.

With the outside view blocked, Su Jinmu breathed a slight sigh of relief and looked around the entire glass greenhouse.

The greenhouse floor is half cement and half pure dirt, just like the outdoor open-air garden.

At the time, the construction team was instructed to dig a small underground level. To keep it discreet, the opening was not placed on the cement side, but in the soil area.

Su Jinmu searched around, moved a few shelves aside, and used a shovel to dig down.

I saw an opening.

It was a very simple barrier. He opened it, and underneath was an empty space—a very narrow passage with a rope ladder fixed in place.

Further down, deeper inside, there's a narrow entrance, like a door.

To minimize the traces of construction and avoid raising suspicion, they didn't dig a large hole underground. Instead, they left a gap, inserted a folding house, and then unfolded and secured it.

Yes, a folding house.

He was taken aback when the construction team gave him their advice, but after seeing the actual product, he was filled with surprise and admiration.

There are so many ways.

The small house was located deep inside, with a narrow passageway. Before fleeing, for absolute safety, this narrow passageway had to be blocked to prevent it from being discovered later.

Therefore, soil is needed.

Su Jinmu changed the soil in the flowerpot, but didn't throw it all away. She kept some and put it in the small house in the basement.

But... it's still not enough.

He needs more soil, and preferably soil with a similar texture to the surrounding soil.

"Knock knock".

The glass was suddenly struck, a clear sound.

The unexpected blow struck Su Jinmu's heart, causing him to tense up and stare at the door.

"Qiao Tingrui? Is something the matter?"

A deep voice sounded from outside, unhurried and calm, "Young Master, it's me."

Oh no, Li Xin is back.

How could it be so fast?

Su Jinmu's temple twitched.

The glass greenhouse has soundproofing properties, so the sound travels in a muffled tone, but the boy's voice is low and gentle, hitting you right in the heart.

Su Jinmu pursed her lips, suppressing any noise, and quickly restored the flower room to its original state, her tone slow and deliberate.

"Wait a moment."

Li Xin stood outside the glass greenhouse, staring at the dark glass, frowning slightly, and tapping the glass wall with his fingertips.

It's very thick.

What is the young master doing?

Li Xin pursed his lips and waited for a while, but still couldn't see anyone. A strange anxiety rose in his heart.

He wanted to see people, to stare at them, and if he couldn't see them, he wanted to get close and hold them tightly in his hands.

Therefore, try to minimize the time spent outside.

Although he could hear the young master talking to him from time to time, he couldn't see or touch him. His emotions were surging, and he gradually became restless. He licked his scarlet lips and tapped the glass.

"Young Master."

His voice deepened, "Let's replace the glass first, okay?"

I want to see you.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Tsk.

Su Jinmu felt a jolt in her ear, quickly grabbed a potted plant, put it aside with the roots and soil, got up, changed the glass tint, and opened the door again.

The boy lifted his leg in a second and walked straight in. He stretched out his strong arm and gripped the young master's forearm tightly. His eyes were dark and brooding. "What are you busy with, young master? You won't even let me see."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu glanced at him but didn't struggle to move her arm. "Change the soil."

Why replace the glass in the Tuguan window to block the light?

Su Jinmu remained calm. "Improve the survival rate."

……Yeah?

Li Xin frowned slightly, his eyes dark and unreadable.

Su Jinmu ignored him, turned around and went into the greenhouse. She went to the plant she had just pulled out, took a new pot and soil, carefully arranged it, and transplanted the flower into it.

He squatted down, his smooth nape exposed to the public.

A moment later, without warning, a cool sensation touched the back of his ear, making him shiver.

Su Jinmu's heart tightened, and he wanted to move, but the boy squatted down next to him, half-grabbing his arm, while his other hand moved down from the back of his neck, his fingertips grinding something.

……earth?

Li Xin frowned, staring blankly at his fingertips. How did it get on his neck?

Su Jinmu: "..."

It must have been scraped by while going down into the tunnel.

Su Jinmu subtly quickened her pace, replaced the pot in her hand, and then took another pot from the side. With a skillful movement, she pulled the plant out of this pot.

If it were a plastic basin, it would be cut, but he didn't have a plastic basin, so he had to pull it out, which made the action less abrupt.

The roots were tightly intertwined, and when it was pulled out, Saturn flew out, with one strand leaping past Su Jinmu and landing on Li Xin's chest.

It splashed up and then tumbled back to the ground.

Li Xin: "..."

Li Xin: "???"

Su Jinmu said calmly, "Stay away from me."

Li Xin paused, his dark gaze falling on the young master, and he smiled, "No need, I'll stay with the young master, we'll jump together."

Su Jinmu: "..."

It seems no one suspected anything.

Su Jinmu felt a slight sense of relief and carefully transplanted the plant.

Poor flowers.

It was pulled a bit too hard just now.

Please don't die.

.

Li Xin watched from the side. Su Jinmu changed the basin a few times and then stopped, getting up and walking back to take a bath.

The young master seemed perfectly normal, but Li Xin followed behind him, staring at his back, scrutinizing him from head to toe with sharp eyes, his gaze unconsciously turning cold and sinister.

Something feels... off.

Li Xin's gaze was intense and clear, as if he wanted to dissect a person, staring intently at them.

A strange unease welled up inside me for no apparent reason.

This unease did not subside with time; instead, it accumulated and intensified, reaching its peak two days later when a message was received from a subordinate.

[Su Zeya is leaving Jingzhou!]

"!!"

The Su family's business is almost entirely within Jingzhou, with very few operations in other regions. The information found indicated that Su Zeya was on a business trip, but it was unclear what kind of business trip he was on.

The restlessness in Li Xin's heart suddenly ignited, like being scorched by a fire, and burst into flames.

A surge of malevolence coursed through them, and they headed straight for the Su family.

Young master.

Young master.

He received this message precisely when he wasn't at the Su family's house.

Could it be...intentional?

Li Xin was so tense that a slight smile appeared on his face. His eyebrows and eyes were strangely dark and sinister, and his smile was sinister and ferocious.

If it was intentional, if the young master wanted to run away...

Ha ha.

Li Xin arrived at the Su family home quickly and went straight to the third floor.

The night was deep and quiet.

Li Xin pushed open the door, looked around, and saw no one.

Thump!

The sound of a heart pounding heavily filled the air, a violent, oppressive force.

“Clang clang…”

A slight noise came from the innermost room, and Li Xin strode in.

Su Jinmu, having nothing to do, came in looking for a bottle of wine. Just as she poured it into a glass and was about to gently swirl it, the door was suddenly pushed open forcefully.

The boy, looking fierce, strode in, grabbed his wrist, and pulled hard.

"Hmm..."

Su Jinmu groaned and frowned slightly.

What the hell is going on?

She didn't hold the glass properly, and the dark red wine spilled out, splashing onto her arm and meandering down her fair skin.

Like blood.

Li Xin's already taut nerves tightened even more, like a bowstring stretched to its limit, terrifying and horrifying.

He bent down, his scarlet tongue licking the arm, taking away the crimson stain, cold and wet, sending chills down one's spine.

His face wore a manic smile.

"Young Master, you're here."

Su Jinmu: "???"

Su Jinmu frowned, her wrist gripped too tightly, and she tried to pull away slightly. "Otherwise, where am I? Let go."

Li Xin's face was filled with a wild smile as he licked and kissed the wine as it flowed down his wrist, his tongue rubbing against it and his teeth sinking in.

I took a bite.

"hiss……"

Su Jinmu clicked her tongue, looking at Li Xin's outburst, "What are you doing?"

Li Xin chuckled softly.

Su Jinmu, Su Zeya.

Li Xin's eyes were dark and his whole body was filled with ferocity. He had a smile on his face, with the corners of his scarlet lips curling up. But his voice was low and pitiful as he grabbed the other person's hand and pressed it against his body.

"Young master, I'm a little uneasy. Let's go to bed and do it for three days."

Three days later, Su Zeya took off and left.

Su Jinmu: "??????"
