Chapter 46 Want to Leave? Su Jinmu: "Don't do this, how about being a bed partner..."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Do you want to listen to what you're saying?

Three days, that's enough to kill someone.

Su Jinmu clicked her tongue in disbelief.

His hand was grabbed by the boy, and he was being pulled and pressed against the boy's body without any explanation.

The waist beneath my palms is firm and strong, and in the sweltering summer, it feels cool and refreshing.

Su Jinmu didn't struggle, letting him hold her. With a flick of his finger, his palm pressed directly against her skin, the coolness becoming increasingly noticeable. He exhaled a refreshing breath, slowly and deliberately.

"No."

Li Xin grasped the young master's hand, squeezing his slender wrist, his gaze unfathomable, and his smile somewhat strange.

Why not do it?

Su Zeya is leaving in three days and needs to conserve his energy... Should I go with him?

Su Jinmu: "???"

Su Jinmu gave him a strange look.

The boy was acting strangely. He barged in out of nowhere, started licking and biting him like a madman, and seemed quite emotionally unstable.

What happened... that triggered this?

Su Jinmu pondered for a moment, but couldn't come up with anything. She raised an eyebrow and said, "I just won't do it."

"Or, tell me first, what happened?" Su Jinmu looked at him calmly.

Li Xin's eyes were dark and unfathomable as he stared at the young master's every move.

Su Zeya was leaving on a business trip, and the young master's expression... was very calm.

It was as if they didn't care at all.

Li Xin's eyes darkened, their meaning unclear, but the unease he had been carrying for days weighed heavily on his heart, and his tense emotions did not ease much.

He wanted to prevent the young master from leaving.

Li Xin smiled, raised Su Jinmu's hand, his whole being shrouded in darkness, looking somewhat fierce.

I licked his fingertip, gently nibbled at it, and tasted the lingering aftertaste of the spilled red wine.

Slightly bitter, slightly astringent.

It stimulates the tip of the tongue.

"Do it, young master, I want to do it."

Su Jinmu: "..."

The boy licked his hand, moved closer, nuzzled his head against his neck, his cold, wet tongue brushed against his collarbone, and his teeth gently bit down, leaving a shallow mark on it.

His mark.

Li Xin's eyes flashed with madness as he chuckled softly, licking and kissing the brand incessantly.

"...Ugh..."

Su Jinmu groaned, tickled by his touch, and instinctively tried to turn her head away.

The boy placed his other hand behind his ear on the side of his face, blocking his way out.

The cool, damp breath fell on her neck, very cool, contrasting sharply with Su Jinmu's scorching body temperature in the summer. Su Jinmu shivered slightly, her breathing became erratic, and her eyelashes trembled.

Li Xin's body temperature is very low.

The reason for suddenly having to do it for three days is probably not some unfounded desire.

It was as if something else had triggered him.

...did you think you were going to run away?

Su Jinmu: "???"

But he hasn't done anything lately. Apart from that time when he changed the soil, he's basically been with Li Xin in everything he does.

He doesn't have any stimulating pain, so what caused that?

Su Jinmu narrowed his eyes slightly, letting the boy rub and lick his neck as he pondered casually.

Li Xin had gone mad for a while because he didn't want to acknowledge the Xu family.

This time there was no specific reason, yet he remained tense... Something must have guided him, or even misled him.

Make him feel like he wants to leave.

Su Jinmu raised her eyebrows, her captivating eyes alluring and alluring.

She raised her hand, placed it on the boy's waist, and casually patted it a couple of times to soothe him, so that Li Xin wouldn't interrupt his train of thought.

Perhaps he could use this opportunity to make Li Xin lower his guard against him.

Su Jinmu curved her lips into a smile and pushed the man away slightly. The boy was unhappy and gripped her wrist tightly.

"Young Master."

Su Jinmu smiled slightly, her beautiful eyes crinkling into crescents, and casually touched the boy's waist and abdomen.

"I don't know what's wrong with you, but it's okay."

He can be a little lenient.

Li Xin was suspicious. He thought that he was showing any signs of wanting to run away these past few days, but in fact he wasn't. The fact that things had gone smoothly allowed him to relax his guard.

However, he will not give up keeping a close eye on the source of the "misleading" information.

Su Jinmu smiled, raised her eyes, and pursed her rosy lips. "We can do it once a night, for three nights in a row."

It's impossible to do it for three days in a row.

Li Xin stared intently at the young master, watching the light and casual curve on his face. He tugged at the corners of his mouth, his scarlet lips curving upwards in a maniacal smile.

"No, do it for three days in a row."

After finishing, I didn't have the strength to run away.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu's brow twitched. Staring at Li Xin's dark and cold gaze, she clicked her tongue and said, "Three nights, two times a night."

Li Xin: "No, do it for three days in a row."

Su Jinmu: "…………"

You son of a bitch.

Su Jinmu gritted her teeth, stared at the boy's sharp yet obscure eyes, and clicked her tongue, "Three nights, three times a night, no more than that."

If you keep risking your life...

Li Xin stubbornly insisted, "No, do it for three days straight."

Su Jinmu: "…………"

Su Jinmu pulled her wrist away, turned around and left, saying, "Then you can play by yourself."

“…Hmm.” The force on her wrist tightened, and Su Jinmu took half a step forward, only to be pulled back.

The boy grabbed him, stood in front of him, his eyes were direct and aggressive, but his lips turned down, and he let out a pitiful groan.

"Young Master."

"Three days, three days."

We need to go to Suzeya.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu was speechless, wondering where this three-day period came from and why they insisted on it so much.

He raised an eyebrow, smiled slightly, and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"You can perform for three days straight. If I'm in the mood, I'll do it; if not, you can keep performing."

He wanted to see if the vengeful ghost would turn into a dried-up ghost in three days.

Su Jinmu had just said it casually and was about to leave when she did, but to her surprise, the boy agreed immediately.

"good."

Su Jinmu: "???!"

Um?

Su Jinmu looked over in surprise.

A hint of excitement appeared on the boy's face. He gently rubbed his fingertips against the soft flesh on the inside of the boy's wrist. His eyes were filled with a dark, intense excitement, as if he wanted to suck the boy's life force.

He lifted the young master's wrist and gently licked the inside of it, his gaze still fixed on Su Jinmu's eyes, eerily alluring.

"It's a promise, young master, you can't go back on your word."

Su Jinmu: "...???"

Has that thing gone mad?

Li Xin's smile widened. He quickly went back and forth twice, doing something unknown, before returning to this side, easily lifting Su Jinmu by the waist and holding her on his arm.

Su Jinmu was wearing slippers, and one of them suddenly fell off during the movement, leaving only one hanging precariously on her foot.

She looked at the boy with a slightly puzzled expression, and then was quickly carried into the bathroom.

He placed it into the bathtub filled with water with a "plop".

Su Jinmu: "???"

The slightly hot water, with a hint of bittersweetness, instantly soaked through my clothes, clinging tightly to my body.

The water wasn't a clear, pure white; it had a slight blush, and the aroma of wine wafted through the air.

The scarlet wine entered the bathtub, and after dilution, only a faint, ambiguous, and alluring pale red and pink remained.

Li Xin's breathing became heavy.

The pale pink, moist droplets rubbed against the young master's fair skin, bewitching him to the point of being almost decadent.

Her clothes were soaked, clearly outlining her figure; her waist was slender and barely a handful.

The thin clothes were slightly transparent in the water, and her radiant skin was faintly visible.

Li Xin's breathing became heavier, the corners of his mouth turned up, he took the young master's hand and wetly licked the light pink water droplets on it, which were stained with the smell of alcohol.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu smiled.

It seems to be the same bottle of wine as before.

Su Jinmu raised her hand, pinched the other person's chin, and pulled him closer. Her tone was gentle and slightly amused. "I think I meant that you should perform yourself. If I'm happy with your performance, then you'll get a reward."

The young master sat in the water, pale pink water splashing onto his neck and behind his ears, and a little bit onto the corner of his lips.

Stunningly beautiful, captivating the soul.

Li Xin chuckled softly, then moved the hand that was holding his chin down to his neck and Adam's apple, his voice low and slow.

As he spoke, his vocal cords vibrated, and his Adam's apple bobbed as it brushed against the hand on his neck.

"Performances require interaction, and I'm interacting with the guests."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu chuckled softly, unable to suppress her amusement.

The boy approached; he was also wet, half-clinging to the surface, revealing his lean, muscular body, pale and eerie like a stone sculpture.

She pressed herself close to him, her face glistening with water, her scarlet lips curving upwards.

Are the guests happy now?

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu laughed and pressed her fingertip against the other person's Adam's apple, "This is nothing, not even close."

Li Xin wasn't in a hurry. He smiled, stepped forward, and entered the bathtub. The water level suddenly rose, creating a slight sense of pressure.

The boy approached, his body wet, and wrapped his arms around his waist, his burning palms pressed against him, holding him tightly.

"Then I'll serve the guests."

Su Jinmu smiled.

The water rippled, and Li Xin pulled the person onto his lap with force.

With a layer of soft water as a medium, the body's tactile sensation seems different.

It's not very clear; all I can feel is the increasingly intense heat.

The shadow drew closer to Su Jinmu's eyes, until it was right in front of him, then suddenly stopped.

They stood there so close, their breaths mingling, and the already damp bathroom seemed to become even more viscous, as if water could be wrung out of it.

Their lips touched, lightly brushing against each other, and Su Jinmu felt a tingling sensation on her lips, as if she were being gently tickled, a numbing feeling spreading throughout her nerves.

Su Jinmu pursed his lips, and in that instant, like a demon hunting its prey, the boy suddenly moved closer, pressing his lips against hers, his burning lips prying open her teeth and entwining with hers.

"Hmm..."

Su Jinmu thought he had just learned his lesson, but it turned out he was just pretending.

His fierce and wild nature remains unchanged.

It looked like it wanted to devour people.

The air in her chest was plundered, her breathing became increasingly rapid, and Su Jinmu's head, lacking oxygen, gradually became hazy. Her long eyelashes trembled, and her shimmering eyes became alluring.

.

Su Jinmu knew that Li Xin intended to take three days, so she kicked him away as soon as she paused.

He intended to appease Li Xin, but he didn't expect things to go so far.

Li Xin was initially very obedient, and obediently stepped back, following him step by step.

But as the third day approached, Suihe gradually began to carefully consider Su Jinmu's schedule.

Whenever he had a spare moment, he would join in, performing and interacting with the audience.

Once the seduction is successful, they start to act recklessly.

Time passed slowly, and the closer they got to the third day, the more insane and uncontrollable Li Xin became.

It nuzzled against Su Jinmu's neck, rubbing against her gently and calling out softly.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu's temples throbbed intermittently.

He eats, drinks, and sleeps very regularly, and Li Xin did not interfere with his normal routine.

But at other times it clings to you like a possessed demon.

On the first day, Su Jinmu felt okay and was able to live a normal life.

The next day, I felt completely exhausted and couldn't push anything.

On the third day, Li Xin became clingy and persistent, even pushing his phone aside so he could look at it and not let him touch it.

Su Jinmu: "..."

What could possibly happen in these three days that's causing such tension?

Su Jinmu's breathing quickened, her eyes reddened, and she kicked and clicked her tongue, "Get out of the way."

"No." Li Xin pressed close to him, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist. "Is young master hungry? Would you like something else to eat?"

Su Jinmu: "..."

You need to eat well to have the energy to continue, right?

"I'm not hungry." Su Jinmu felt a headache coming on, her arms felt so weak she couldn't lift them, and her body was covered in red marks.

"If you're not hungry, then take a nap." Li Xin smiled and nuzzled against him. "If you fall asleep, I won't bother you, young master."

Su Jinmu: "..."

It seems like they're afraid he'll run away.

But Su Jinmu really didn't have any plans these past few days, and she couldn't figure it out for some reason.

He slept for most of the third day, and was so exhausted that his consciousness was hazy.

He could only feel someone close to him, their fingertips slightly damp, like being licked, then gently rubbed and bitten.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Where does all that energy come from?

He ignored it, closed his eyes, and went back to sleep.

finally.

Three days have passed.

The young master was still fast asleep with his eyes closed, lying on his side, with scattered red marks on his body and teeth marks on his fingertips.

Li Xin stared at him for a while, then took his phone and confirmed that Su Zeya had boarded the plane and even landed. He finally felt a little relieved.

Li Xinmo stared intently at the young master with his dark eyes.

The other person's eyes were closed, with long eyelashes casting a small shadow, and their red lips were even more vibrant. They were sleeping peacefully, seemingly without any worries.

Su Jinmu showed no unusual reaction when Su Zeya left.

It seems they really don't care about Su Zeya's departure.

They even seemed unaware that Su Zeya had left Kyoto on a business trip.

Li Xin's eyes were dark. He raised his hand and gently rubbed the young master's lips. Touching the soft lips, he couldn't help but lick them. He smiled and the gloom in his heart dissipated slightly.

It's best not to care.

It's best not to worry about it at all.

He sent out a message: "Keep an eye on Su Zeya, don't let your guard down."

.

Li Xin's hostility indeed dissipated somewhat, and his suspicion lessened a bit. He stopped clinging to her so tightly and continued to deal with the offensive against the Li family.

Su Jinmu... Although she was up for three days, she ate and slept on time. She didn't want to make a fuss during the day, and once she closed her eyes and fell asleep, she was fine.

That bastard Li Xin didn't go too far after all.

Su Jinmu took a break and rested for a few days before heading to the Xu family.

Last time, the Xu family invited him to go out and play, but he didn't go. As a result, he was taken by Li Xin to the hot spring resort and bumped into Li Xin.

Xu's family would always call him over.

He couldn't keep making excuses about having other things to do.

The hotter the weather gets, the clear sky overhead is cloudless, and even a glance at it makes you dizzy from the intense sunlight.

It's incredibly hot.

When Su Jinmu arrived at the Xu family's building, Li Xin, sitting in the car, obediently curved the corners of his mouth, "I'll wait here for the young master to come back."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Nothing too strange seemed to have happened in the past three days?

Su Jinmu clicked her tongue, ignoring him, and got out of the car.

He walked to the door, knocked, and Xuyu quickly opened the door for him.

When Su Jinmu came in and changed her shoes, she noticed a pair of mismatched leather shoes by the door.

Generally, after a family member enters the house, their shoes will be put away in the shoe cabinet.

This is……

Su Jinmu: "???"

Su Jinmu raised an eyebrow in confusion, and then heard an unfamiliar voice coming from the living room.

It was a very deep male voice.

Xu Yu led him to sit down to the side. Noticing his confusion, she twitched her lips and whispered, "Coming to the door so suddenly is quite annoying."

Su Jinmu: "???"

Who is it?

It's hot outside, and the windows are closed inside, with the air conditioner constantly blowing cold air out.

But Su Jinmu had just come in from outside, so it wasn't appropriate to blow directly at her.

Xu Yu led him to Mu Mu's room to sit for a while. The door to this room was usually open, and the air conditioning wasn't too cold, which was just enough to cool him down.

The door wasn't closed, and the sounds from the living room could be clearly heard into the room.

Su Han and Qiao Tingrui were both there, sitting opposite that person.

The voice on the other end was steady and polite.

"I know that our two families have never had any contact, but over the years, we have kept to ourselves, which can be considered a tacit understanding."

“I understand that the Xu family wants to keep to themselves, but that person came with great force and has a huge appetite. Who knows, after dealing with our Li family, the next ones might be the Xu and Jiang families.”

"In times like these, cooperation is the best approach, isn't it?"

Su Jinmu: "???"

...The Li family?

Su Jinmu raised an eyebrow and turned to peek into the living room from the edge.

Su Han and Xu Sibai slowly sipped their tea. Opposite them was a man in a suit and tie. His face was obscured, but he looked very confident, as if he was quite sure he could persuade the Xu couple.

...The Li family.

After being beaten by Li Xin, they came to the Xu family for help.

Su Jinmu frowned slightly, glanced at the text with an ambiguous expression, and recalled the original text, only to find that this part of the plot was not mentioned.

The original text didn't describe in much detail how Li Xin brought down the Li family; the ending was certain, but the process wasn't described in detail.

If the Xu family helps, then Li Xin's side...

He paused for a moment and looked at Xuyu.

Xu Yu: "??"

Xu Yu had a calm expression as she looked through the photos in the room. When she noticed his gaze, a hint of doubt crept into her calm demeanor.

"You're curious? If you're curious, we'll go and hear it for you."

She was slowly taking over the affairs of the Xu family. Normally she wouldn't avoid such matters, but she didn't have a good impression of the Li family, so she was too lazy to go there and preferred to stay here and enjoy her leisure.

If you're curious, there's nothing wrong with going to hear it in person.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu waved her hand.

In the living room, the people from the Li family were still trying to persuade them. Su Han took a sip of tea and said casually, "Just wondering, is there some kind of grudge between the Li family and the people across the street?"

The Li family members shook their heads. "No, we investigated carefully. That person appeared out of nowhere and we couldn't find any prior information about him. He was hiding his identity."

"Perhaps he's just a newcomer with big ambitions, trying to use the Li family as a stepping stone to gain fame."

"But since you said that person wanted to ruin Li Jiabo's reputation, why did he have to hide his true colors?"

Xu Sibai said, "If we openly target the Li family, the fire will burn even brighter and more intensely, and Jingzhou will pay even more attention to him."

Su Han and Xu Sibai exchanged a glance.

Xu Sibai said, "President Li, the Xu and Jiang families have never had any dealings with the Li family. The fact that the Li family has been attacked so fiercely this time seems more like a personal grudge between you two, and it's not appropriate for us to interfere."

...President Li?

Su Jinmu raised her eyebrows.

President Li smiled and said, "President Xu said it looks like it, but she's not sure if it's a personal grudge between us. I don't think so. It's just that the other side is too ambitious."

“President Xu,” he said, “Although we haven’t had any prior dealings, we also have no history of conflict. At times like these, mutual support is the best way to maximize our interests, isn’t it?”

"If the Li family falls, the Xu family will be next. You two surely understand the principle that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."

Su Han's face was expressionless, Xu Sibai smiled politely, and Xu Yu in the room rolled her eyes.

That General Manager Li kept expanding the other side's objectives, directing them towards the Xu family, half-leading and half-threatening that the Xu family was also part of the other side's target.

But the Xu family has been around for so many years and has reached this position; they are not pushovers and would not fail to see through his rhetoric.

“It’s not like we’ve never had any conflicts,” Xu Yu said to Su Jinmu.

Su Jinmu turned back to look at her.

Xu Yu thought for a moment and frowned slightly. "A long time ago, when Mu Mu had just gone missing, the family was busy looking for her and couldn't take care of the business. The Li family was like flies that smelled the scent, trying to trip up the Xu family little by little and testing the Xu family's situation."

"Back then, things were chaotic at home, and I didn't have much time to look after the company. I was already overwhelmed, and then the Li family came looking for trouble. I only calmed down after being dealt with by the Xu family and the other two families."

Xu Yu glanced at the living room with a hint of displeasure on her indifferent face. "Now you're acting like you've lost your memory and nothing's wrong. You're really shameless."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu nodded.

The Li family is indeed shameless, and each member is ruthless in their methods.

"What you're saying, Mr. Li, is all your own speculation. What we, the Xu family, see is that the attack is only targeting your Li family."

"As for the Xu family, there's no need for Mr. Li to worry; we will pay close attention."

Su Han and Xu Sibai got tired of chatting and started to see the guests off.

Mr. Li didn't say anything more, stood up, and said, "I will come to visit again."

Xu Sibai politely saw him off. As President Li passed by the room, he saw Su Jinmu inside, accompanied by Xu Sibai. He nodded slightly, seemingly out of some unknown confidence.

"We will meet again."

Xu Yu: "..."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu saw that President Li's appearance was not bad, but there were several vertical lines between his eyebrows. He looked gentle and refined on the surface, but there was a hint of sinister intent in his eyes.

He's not a kind person.

This is... Li Xin's father?

Su Jinmu narrowed her eyes.

Xu Sibai waited for him to leave, then slammed the door shut with a loud bang, clearly indicating that he wasn't welcome. He went to the sink to wash his hands and then called out to Su Han.

"Hanhan, come wash your hands. I'll go clean up the cup he used."

He looked extremely disgusted.

Su Jinmu smiled.

The Xu family never entertains business guests at home. Regardless of whether the relationship is good or bad, everything is handled by the company. Once home, they don't think about company matters and can live a peaceful life.

If someone in Xu's position spreads the word that they don't like being disturbed, then few tactless people will dare to come and bother them.

Xu Yu asked, "Why is that President Li here at our house?"

Xu Sibai frantically washed the cup, "The Li family contacted us several times, wanting the Xu family to help. Your mother and I kept refusing, but he couldn't stand it and came over directly."

"They didn't even give us a heads-up," Xu Sibai said unhappily. "They must have offended someone somewhere."

Su Han nodded, saw Su Jinmu, and reached out to touch his head, "Are you hot? I made you wait so long."

Su Jinmu shook her head, "I'm fine, I'm not hot."

Xu Yu glanced at him thoughtfully, then said softly, "You seem quite curious about the Li family."

Su Jinmu: "...It's just gossip, just listen to it casually."

"Keep your distance from the Li family and avoid gossip." Su Han pursed her lips. "That family isn't clean; they're too ruthless."

Xu Yu didn't quite understand, so she asked, "Is there something you need?"

Su Han recalled for a moment, then took a deep breath, "Now, Mrs. Li of the Li family is a mistress who rose to power."

"Back then, the first wife took the children to a temple in the mountains to recuperate, but for some reason, the temple caught fire and burned to the ground."

"The fire was at its worst right at the temple entrance, blocking the way out, and behind it were cliffs and steep walls."

"I heard that the child fell down, and the wife died in the fire."

Su Han frowned. "There's a rumor that the original wife had traces of food poisoning in her body, which is why she didn't run away. I don't know if it's true or not."

Su Jinmu lowered her eyes slightly and rubbed her fingertips together a couple of times.

It's true.

Food poisoning caused severe anorexia.

The raging fire made Li Xin afraid of fire.

It's all true.

"...What are you thinking about?"

A voice suddenly rang in my ears.

Xu Sibai patted him on the shoulder, "Whether it's true or not, just remember, don't get involved with the Li family. There aren't many good people in that family."

Su Jinmu made up her mind.

Li Xin will retaliate and avenge himself.

And it's already imminent; if the Xu family doesn't help, the Li family's downfall won't be long in coming.

Don't overthink it.

Su Jinmu pursed her lips, suppressing her gloomy emotions.

.

The Xu family called Su Jinmu over, originally intending to make ice cream for her, but the arrival of the Li family disrupted their plans. It was almost mealtime, and eating ice cream would make it difficult to eat their main meal.

So I didn't cook today, I just ate and went home.

The next day, Su Jinmu was summoned again.

With no one to bother him this time, Xu Sibai breathed a sigh of relief in the kitchen and rolled up his sleeves to start his research.

Ice cream is easy to make and doesn't take much time. Susi Bai quickly made several kinds, each with a different flavor.

There are fruit cones, cup ice cream, and even larger bowls of fruit smoothies.

The finely shaved ice is drizzled with fruit pulp and jam, creating a translucent and glistening surface with vibrant fruit colors.

Two shaved ice desserts, one mango and one strawberry, were served in a bowl bigger than her head. Su Jinmu was stunned when it was brought over.

No wonder you said yesterday that you couldn't eat rice after eating ice cream.

...It's so big, I really can't eat it all.

Su Jinmu's surprised look was too obvious, so Su Han smiled and said, "Haha, it's just that the shaved ice is fine and has a lot of gaps inside, so there aren't actually that many. Don't be too surprised."

"I remember Yu Yu loved this shaved ice. She did it once when she was little..."

Su Han recalled, "It seems that when Mu Mu was little, the first time he ate ice cream, he saw a huge bowl and said that the bowl was bigger than him and he could eat it in the bowl. Then Yu Yu beat him up and told him not to defile her shaved ice."

Su Han laughed.

Xu Yu: "..."

Su Jinmu smiled.

It's been so hot lately, so Su Jinmu took a small bowl, filled it with some mango-flavored shaved ice, poured orange-yellow jam on top, and mixed it with mango chunks.

The shaved ice was cold and hard, crumbly, while the mango flesh was soft, and they melted together in your mouth with each bite.

The sweet aroma spread, and I immediately felt the heat dissipate, leaving me feeling refreshed.

"It's delicious, not too sweet." Su Jinmu smiled slightly.

"Eat more if it's delicious." Xu Sibai smiled elegantly.

The temperature outside was high, and Su Jinmu was wearing a loose long-sleeved shirt. When she ate, she moved slightly, and her collar tilted down, revealing a small red mark.

Su Han: "???"

Su Han looked around curiously, "Jin Mu, what's wrong with your neck...?"

Su Jinmu: "??!"

Su Jinmu's ears tightened, she pulled her clothes up, and cursed the bastard in her heart a few times.

It was left over from the previous three days.

It hasn't completely disappeared yet.

Su Han smiled, somewhat surprised, "Jin Mu is in a relationship? I've never heard you mention it before."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu felt a tightness in the back of her ear, and her earlobes were slightly red and hot. She didn't know what to say for a moment.

Xu Yu wasn't surprised by this, just curious, and smiled faintly, "Is he your friend?"

The day the Xu family stopped cars and intercepted people.

Xu Yu raised an eyebrow. "That P friend, or the maid friend you dragged along when you came to pick you up?"

or……

Xu Yu smiled slightly.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu: "…………"

"Oh right, I remember now, that young man seemed quite attached to Jinmu, he was working part-time, right?" Su Han said.

Su Han didn't want to pry into these things. Nowadays, young people don't like being controlled when they're dating or not, so she just glanced at them.

"Jinmu, you're only nineteen, still young, don't... cough, don't be too... you know."

Su Jinmu: "…………"

Su Jinmu felt a few hot flashes in her ears.

Strictly speaking, everyone around him was an elder, and Xu Yu was even older than him. Being asked this kind of question, Su Jinmu was speechless.

Su Jinmu touched the ice bowl to cool her palms, trying to cool down the heat in her ears as well. She forced a smile and nodded.

Xu Sibai smiled, nudged Su Han's hand under the table, and gave her a meaningful look.

Her ears turned red.

I can't say any more, or I'll lose my composure.

Su Han glanced at it and smiled too.

Xu Yu still wanted to ask which friend it was, but Su Han stopped her by nudging her under the table. With a wistful smile, she took a bite of her shaved ice.

Su Jinmu kept her head down and ate the whole time, trying to avoid eye contact. Before she left, she was given several insulated containers.

Xu Sibai casually remarked, "Take it back and let your friends try it."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu touched her ear, then quickly turned and left.

Go downstairs.

Li Xin waited in the car as usual, and saw Su Jinmu approach with a smile, her gaze fixed on him, and she raised her eyes with an ambiguous meaning.

"Is the young master hot? His ears are red."

He raised his hand and pinched the young master's delicate earlobe; it was warm.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu clicked her tongue, quickly slapped the box open, and pushed it over, saying, "This is from the Xu family."

Li Xin: "??"

Li Xin, with dark eyes, raised an eyebrow. "Given to me by the Xu family? What does that have to do with the young master's red ears?"

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu didn't intend to say that Li Xin, the mad ghost, liked to bite people. After saying it, he probably wouldn't be able to change, and might even bite more fiercely.

"Just eat what you have."

Li Xin: "???"

Li Xin stared at the subtle expressions on the young master's face, his gaze sweeping from the slightly warm earlobe to the eyes, then to the corners of the lips, and finally down to the long sleeves the young master was wearing.

The collar is slightly loose.

Li Xin's eyes changed slightly, turning somewhat dark. He raised the corners of his scarlet lips, pulled Su Jinmu's hand over, pressed his cheek against Su Jinmu's palm, rubbed it twice, and spoke softly.

"The hickey...was it seen?"

Su Jinmu: "…………"

Tsk.

Su Jinmu shifted her hand, trying to pull it back, but it was grabbed, and sharp teeth came close and gently bit her.

Li Xin smiled, a hint of sinister excitement in his eyes, "I'll be gentler next time."

"...Tsk."

Su Jinmu, her teeth chattering, pushed him away, saying, "Stop clinging to me, let's go."

Young master, you're so thin-skinned.

Li Xin sullenly raised a smile.

I want to bite.

.

Su Jinmu wanted Li Xin to lower his guard, so he usually took him with him when he went out and asked him if he wanted to come along.

Li Xin naturally had to go.

Su Zeya is back from his business trip. It has been found out that although it was called a business trip, it was actually just that Su Zeya was in a bad mood and went out to clear his mind.

Su Jinmu showed absolutely no different reaction to Su Zeya's departure and return.

Emotions and behaviors.

Everything is as usual.

Not long after, Su Zeya went on another business trip, this time for work.

Su Jinmu still did not react.

Li Xin lowered his eyes.

Could it be that he's overthinking things, and the young master doesn't actually intend to leave with Su Zeya?

Li Xin's eyes were dark and unfathomable.

Not the best.

But the young master understands him, and it might just be a smokescreen for him.

Those watching Su Zeya cannot leave.

.

Su Jinmu didn't have enough soil, so she called Qiao Tingrui and Jiang Jing, and also asked Li Xin. The four of them took containers and went up the mountain to find suitable soil.

Continue walking uphill from where you used to sell things at a stall.

Jiang Jing and Qiao Tingrui knew nothing about plant cultivation or soil, so they would turn back every now and then to ask, "Young Master Su, is this soil okay?"

Su Jinmu went over and took a look, then shook her head.

"Not good."

He wanted soil that was similar in texture to the original soil in the glass greenhouse.

But this is actually very difficult to do because the tunnel is very deep, and the soil is layered.

Even if you find soil that is similar in texture to the surface soil in the greenhouse, the underlying soil layers will be different.

Fortunately, he had someone preserve the soil from when he dug the underground layer.

The soil was mixed when the machine excavated it, so it needs to be sorted out before it can be used.

The group continued forward, and Jiang Jing pouted sullenly, "Qiao Tingrui went back to work again. I should have gone back too. Brother Mu, you didn't even call me."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Jiang Jing shouldn't come; if he does, he'll just be handed over to the Su family.

Su Jinmu clicked her tongue and shook her head. "We have enough people now, so we're not busy. I'll call you when we get busy."

"It's a deal then!"

Jiang Jing was overjoyed in an instant, "You must call me."

Su Jinmu nodded.

Jiang Jing and Qiao Tingrui ran upstairs in a flash, with Su Jinmu following a little behind.

Li Xin followed behind him, very close, their shoulders almost touching.

Her hand fell down, and she lightly brushed against his fingertips.

"Young Master."

Li Xin smiled gently, "Next time you can bring me out alone, I can carry it."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu glanced at him, "When you come out to find soil, remember to look at the ground. Did you see it?"

Li Xin: "..."

Li Xin twitched the corner of his mouth, his fingertips brushing against the young master's, and said slowly, "The young master won't let me hold it, so I can't look at it. If I hold it, I can look at it."

He always tries to have one of these: either hold onto something or look at it.

Su Jinmu: "..."

That rascal has been in a good mood lately.

"Brother Mu!"

"Second Young Master Su!"

"Come quick, come quick!"

Just then, two people called out from afar, waving excitedly at them.

Su Jinmu strode over, and Li Xin followed behind with a soft click of his tongue and a smile.

Su Jinmu thought they had discovered a different kind of soil, but when they arrived, they realized they hadn't.

They discovered a temple.

A temple that is already somewhat dilapidated.

The sky was a dusky blue, and the temple was quiet. Although no one was there, it didn't feel eerie; instead, it had a kind of ancient tranquility.

Su Jinmu went in unintentionally, but before he even got there, Jiang Jing and Qiao Tingrui had already stepped inside, excitedly looking around.

Su Jinmu: "..."

He quickened his pace to keep up.

Fortunately, there was nothing strange about the temple in this desolate mountain wilderness, nor were there any dangerous people hiding there.

Someone should come to clean it regularly. There are a few dim lights on all night. It's not very dilapidated, but there are quite a few weeds in the summer.

Jiang Jing entered the temple, looked up, and exclaimed in surprise, "It looks like a temple for matchmaking."

...A temple for marriage?

Su Jinmu had originally planned to go in and take a look, but upon hearing this, she stopped in her tracks.

Inside, Jiang Jing and Qiao Tingrui didn't care about anything else and worshipped every statue they saw. Li Xin followed behind Su Jinmu and clearly noticed his pause.

He paused, his voice lowering and slowing, rustling as he brushed against my ear.

"Young Master...aren't you going in to take a look?"

Su Jinmu glanced at him, her expression calm and indifferent. "No, I don't believe in these things."

He was so calm that Li Xin stared straight at him, keenly noticing something in his eyes and brows.

The nerve is like a thin thread, gradually tightening.

Li Xin smiled, a slow and ambiguous smile playing on his lips. He moved closer, took the young master's wrist, and gently rubbed it. His voice was low and soft. "I want to go and pay my respects."

He said softly, "Young Master, come with me. We just need to go in and take a look."

Su Jinmu pursed her lips, her eyelashes long and delicate, her eyes sparkling yet clear.

Not much emotion.

Snowdrifts and jade-like formations.

Even more serene, calm, and otherworldly than the statues in the high hall.

“I don’t want to go,” he said.

Li Xin's smile grew even more subtle, but the hand encircling the other's wrist tightened involuntarily. His eyes were dark and intense, like ink, capable of devouring hearts.

"Go ahead."

He rubbed the young master's wrist, "I don't ask for marriage or status, I just want the young master to stay with me."

"Young Master just needs to listen from the side."

Listen, don't speak, don't refuse.

For him, it meant that the snow-white figure on the high seat had agreed.

These words are both too light and too heavy.

Su Jinmu's breathing became slightly labored, her long eyelashes drooped slightly, and a ripple of emotion welled up in her heart.

“Li Xin”.

He gently called out to the other person, "Don't do this."

Li Xin smiled, his expression enigmatic and chillingly gentle. "What else?"

Su Jinmu looked straight at him and said, "Being a bed partner makes you happy and me happy, isn't that good? Why think so much?"

Li Xin suddenly laughed and said softly, "Young Master, you're changing the subject."

He grasped the other's wrist, lifted it up, and slowly touched his fingertips to the corner of his mouth, his voice low and dark.

"I said I don't need a formal title, just a bed partner is fine."

"But the young master still won't go in."

His skin was an unnatural paleness, and his lips were scarlet, which seemed out of place in this ancient and tranquil place.

His eyes were dark and intense, concealing a desire so intense it was almost as if he wanted to dissect the person before him and suck their blood. His eyes were eerily black, sending chills down one's spine.

"They don't want me as their long-term bed partner."

"Or... do you want to leave?"

Li Xin gave a strange smile, his dark eyes and brows were deep and unfathomable, and he bit his fingertip.
