Chapter 53 Unless I die, don't even think about it, "Young Master..."

That's really provocative.

Su Jinmu smiled faintly.

The room was pitch black, and Su Jinmu's eyesight was poor in the night. She was cornered against the wall by the boy.

Closer, extremely close, the boy was practically face-to-face with him, licking and kissing his lips in a strange and fierce manner.

He even suspected that the reason he couldn't see clearly was because Li Xin was too close to him in the darkness, blocking his entire view.

Su Jinmu laughed. He was in a good mood, and his eyes even curved slightly, revealing a clear and gentle light that was captivating. He raised his hand and caressed the boy's waist.

Touching the firm, slightly cool muscles, his smile widened.

"No need to wait for 'maybe,' you can kill me right now, I'm waiting."

Once he's really dead, there'll be no way to kill him.

Su Jinmu smiled casually.

Li Xin's lips twitched slightly, a sweet yet terrifying curve, as he brushed against the young master's lips, his voice low and slow, "Young Master, can you handle it?"

Su Jinmu smiled, her interest evident, almost as if in a provocation.

"Give it a try."

Li Xin's breathing became heavy, his eyes dark and unreadable.

Su Jinmu couldn't see clearly; in the dim light, she could only sense that the boy was very close.

Suddenly, a pair of arms wrapped around his waist, tightly encircling him, as if trying to forcefully crush him and mix him into his flesh and blood.

"...Ugh..."

With a tightening of force, Su Jinmu lost her balance and was pressed onto the bed in the next instant.

Shoulders were pressed down, lips were blocked, a brutal sense of aggression pried open teeth, and viciously broke in to plunder.

Su Jinmu groaned, her breathing rising and falling, her eyes slightly narrowed, her neck forced back, and her lips slightly numb.

In a good mood, he didn't mind Li Xin's slight fierceness. He reached out and grabbed Li Xin's collar, pulling him closer until their lips met, their breaths ragged.

...The young master was very eager.

...very interested.

Li Xin's heart sank, his heart pounded, and he stopped moving, as if he didn't want things to go his way, and he backed away.

"Why is the young master so happy?"

The boy's voice was low and slightly hoarse.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Can't you ask later if you have something to say?

Is now a good time to speak?

Su Jinmu clicked her tongue, "So what if you're happy? Do you want me to see you unhappy?"

“That’s not what I meant.” Li Xin paused, his eyes dark and eerie, like a ghost staring at its prey, while the corners of his mouth turned down, looking pitiful and sullen.

“…Young Master.”

He seemed unable to understand the young master's thoughts.

I can't figure it out, I can't get a clear answer.

We can't catch them.

Li Xin's eyes turned deep and cold, his murderous aura terrifying. He moved extremely close, pulling the person into a tight embrace.

.

The next morning.

Su Jinmu slowly sat up. Li Xin was busy lately and had already left.

Su Jinmu rubbed her stomach and casually tugged at the corner of her mouth.

They even said something like, "G.Kill him."

After all that fuss, it's all for nothing.

All talk and no action.

Su Jinmu paused for a moment, then got out of bed to wash up.

Everything was ready in the small room under the greenhouse, and he had nothing to worry about.

The next period of time is all about ensuring that Li Xin doesn't discover the specifics and having more fun with him.

Then... wait until the scheduled time.

Su Jinmu was free of any trouble and didn't react much to his parents' advice to visit the Xu family more often while avoiding people.

He's going to die soon anyway.

.

Su Jinmu was in high spirits. He was going out to attend an event a few days later and was changing clothes in his room.

Recently, there has been a lot of tension in Jingzhou, but these kinds of public events are usually scheduled a year in advance and are not easily changed.

Su's parents asked him to come over.

It was only half a day, not a long time, so Su Jinmu decided to go and found some formal attire to change into.

He looked in the mirror, put on the shirt, bent down, and tucked it onto his lap.

A cool, faint temperature approached, and like a ghost, it drifted in silently and gently grasped his calf.

Using a thin shirt clip, slowly lift it up.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu stood up straight and glanced back at him with a half-smile.

"Not busy today?"

Li Xin has been leaving home very early lately.

Li Xin knelt on one knee, holding a shirt clip in one hand and the young master's knee in the other. He looked up at him with dark, intense eyes and shook his head.

"not busy."

He was a little worried about attending the event at this time.

You must follow along.

Li Xin knelt down, and when he looked up, he saw Su Jinmu's straight and slender legs, with thin skin and a slight pink tinge at the knees.

They looked like they were being tortured beyond endurance.

Li Xin's breathing slowed down a bit, his gaze darkened slightly, and he slowly raised his hand to secure the thin strap of his shirt to the young master's thigh.

The thin, dark straps were recessed, and the flesh of her legs bulged with a slightly alluring curve.

The fabric, bleached white by the shirt clips, now revealed a hint of pink.

Li Xin's eyes darkened slightly, and his movements were slow. He gently pressed his hand on it, wanting to hook it and test its tightness.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu looked down at him with interest.

“…Young Master.”

Li Xin raised her eyes and stared at the young master, as if she had been bewitched. Her gaze fell on the shirt clip, a hint of jealousy and coldness in her eyes.

I don't want the young master to take it out.

Even if it's hidden in my trousers, I still don't want to.

The young master is his.

his.

Li Xin lowered himself down, slowly approaching, his scarlet lips close to the young master's knee, gently licking the slightly pink skin.

Obediently raised her face, lowering it, suppressing her rampant possessiveness.

"You're all dressed, young master. Change your clothes and head out."

He won't affect the young master's normal social interactions.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu's knees were wet and cold from his touch.

The boy's strong, cold hands pressed against the back of his knees and calves, the icy temperature sending a shiver down one's spine.

Su Jinmu's eyelashes trembled, her breathing became slightly disordered, and she smiled.

"...Why go?"

He raised his hand, pinched the boy's chin, and pulled him forcefully in front of him, casually and with a carefree smile, "I'm not going, I'll stay here with you."

Let whoever wants to go, go.

Li Xin paused slightly.

Su Jinmu smiled and pulled the boy closer to her. Li Xin's nose touched her soft, gentle skin, and the sweet fragrance spread, causing his breathing to quicken.

Desire surged instantly.

But along with the heat came an endless shiver.

Tension, and alarm.

The young master is too eager and too indulgent.

Like the wind that cannot be grasped, it is unrestrained and free, and will eventually dissipate into the distance.

...It seems he's destined to leave.

"!!!"

No.

No.

Li Xin's pupils trembled strangely twice as he stared intently at him, his dark pupils terrifying. He gripped his knee tightly, his fingertips turning white.

He lowered his head and took a deep bite into the fair flesh of her leg, leaving a small tooth mark.

"hiss……"

Su Jinmu frowned, her jade-white fingers gripping his hair tightly. "Are you a puppy?"

Li Xin chuckled softly, a strange smile playing on his scarlet lips. "Does it hurt?"

"nonsense."

Li Xin gently and obediently licked and kissed him, his smile eerie, his hand moving up his calf.

It's okay if it hurts, as long as you dare to walk, as long as you dare to run.

It will hurt more.

Li Xin let out a maniacal laugh, "Young Master will always stay with me like this, right?"

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu looked down at him.

Li Xin smiled and bit his fingertip, which was wet.

"Yes, yes." Li Xin smiled, her crimson eyes bright and wild, "I'll answer for the young master."

Su Jinmu: "…………"

Let him guess whatever he wants.

Su Jinmu and Li Xin argued for a long time, and in the middle of it, Su's parents sent a message asking why they hadn't gone yet.

Li Xin grabbed the phone, replied to a message, then threw the phone away and grabbed Su Jinmu's wrist again.

Li Xin is a bit crazy.

In the middle of the night, Su Jinmu got up to go to the bathroom.

I went in dazedly, turned on the light, and was about to raise my hand when I suddenly noticed something strange.

The warm-colored bathroom light shone down, but instead of feeling warm, it gave off a chilling feeling.

There was complete silence, not a sound, except for the faint rustling sounds of his movements.

A cold wind blows softly.

Su Jinmu raised her chin, straightened her neck, and looked straight ahead.

Behind him.

A pair of strange, jet-black pupils were extremely close, almost touching the back of his head, and made no sound.

The tip of her nose brushed against the hair at the back of his head.

Su Jinmu didn't turn around. He seemed to be carved from snow jade, fair and delicate. He reached behind him and a cool, slender hand grasped his.

A cold breeze blew past my ear, like the breath of a ghost, eerily smiling.

"What's wrong? Do you need my help?"

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu: "…………"

That damn thing.

It looks just like a ghost.

Li Xin had already been discovered, or rather, he didn't care whether he was discovered or not. He curled his lips, his scarlet lips moving closer, kissing the nape of Li Xin's neck, licking it wetly.

He held Su Jinmu's hand with one hand, wrapped the other around his waist, and leaned forward, his cool fingertips hooking into the loose belt.

Su Jinmu pressed down on him with her free hand, "What are you doing?"

Li Xin chuckled softly, nuzzling his neck and gently nibbling, his voice slow and low.

"Help the young master."

"The young master is so enthusiastic towards me, I can't possibly forbid me from being enthusiastic towards him, can I?" He chuckled softly.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu couldn't see Li Xin's expression, but she knew he must be going crazy right now. After a pause, she thought it made sense and slowly let go of his hand.

The restraints on Li Xin's hand were removed, and his fingertips easily touched the young master's soft abdomen.

The color under his eyes became increasingly strange, a chilling black, and his smile was sinister.

The young master... has an excessively good temper.

Li Xin lowered his eyes, and his large, rough palm pressed against his waist and abdomen, sinking gently in.

daytime.

Su Jinmu went out.

Li Xin followed silently behind him.

Their footsteps were synchronized, and they made no sound, keeping an eye on every place he went and every person he met.

at night.

Su Jinmu went to bed and took a bath in the bathroom.

The water in the bathtub was warm. Su Jinmu leaned against it, her eyes closed, her skin as white as jade, her features beautiful.

The bathroom was quiet, with only the soft sound of water.

Outside the bathroom, the door had been opened a crack at some point.

A single, jet-black eye was exposed, staring intently at the person in the bathtub.

Li Xin seemed to have developed paranoia, or perhaps gone mad.

She followed him closely, step by step.

Staring at him.

Su Jinmu slightly opened her eyes and looked towards the door.

Behind the crack in the door, a dark eye curved slightly, as if revealing a smile.

But there was no gentleness whatsoever, only a savage and surging desire for possession and control.

...Young Master.

His young master must be firmly held in his grasp and kept in his sight.

That way they won't suddenly get lost.

Li Xin smiled.

Even so, he still felt it wasn't enough.

Li Xin smiled, a sinister crimson smile playing on his lips, as he gazed at the beautiful figure reflected in the warm water of the bathtub.

He wanted to give the young master a big gift.

.

The Xu family's house is an old house that they have lived in for more than ten years. It is well-maintained, well-decorated, and has a very private surrounding environment.

Normally, they wouldn't come close.

But the next day.

A letter suddenly appeared at the door of the Xu family's house.

Su Han was about to leave when she took a step and, without warning, saw this, and frowned.

Although the Li family is in decline, even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse. The closer they are to success, the more vigilant they must be.

This letter...

Who delivered it?

Su Han was very cautious. She looked around but didn't see anyone. She went back inside, turned on the video surveillance footage, and scrolled back to find the person who delivered the letter.

He was a complete stranger who left the letter and then departed.

Su Han: "???"

Su Han put on the mask and gloves she used for field teaching and bent down to pick them up.

Xu Sibai stepped out and was about to follow her out when she saw her standing motionless at the door. She went up to her in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Han didn't say anything, "You step back first."

At this critical juncture, caution was necessary, so she opened it.

Fortunately, there was nothing strange inside.

There was only a stack of photos.

It's an old photo, full of children.

Su Han frowned, and Xu Sibai, who was standing next to her, was worried about her and couldn't help but step forward.

There are many photos, all group photos, each with about twenty children, all of whom are preschool age.

There are different banners in the background of the photo.

Group photo of Class XX, Year XX, Baiyun Kindergarten.

...A group photo from kindergarten?

Su Han frowned, took off her mask and gloves, and examined the contents carefully.

It was the year Mumu was in kindergarten; there's even a picture of Mumu in it.

Su Han stared at the small figure in the photo, rubbed her fingertips together a couple of times, and pursed her lips.

They have these photos; each child received one, and the school also keeps a copy.

Why put these things in the envelope?

What was the messenger's intention?

Xu Sibai flipped through the photos one by one; there were not only photos from the middle class, but also photos from the same year's lower and upper classes.

Xu Sibai flipped through each of the photos from the senior class and exclaimed in surprise, "How come... Jinmu isn't here? Isn't he also from Baiyun Kindergarten? He's a year older than Mumu."

Su Han: "???"

Su Han frowned, "You...missed something, or maybe you look different when you were a child?"

"Give it to me, I'll look for it again."

Xu Sibai handed it to her, then picked up the ones from the middle and lower grades and compared them one by one.

None.

Xu Yu came out and watched the two busy themselves. She quickly figured out what had happened and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Jinmu said he attends Baiyun Kindergarten, but he's not in the photos?"

Su Han nodded thoughtfully, "We don't have any photos of Jin Mu when she was little. Maybe she's grown up and her appearance has changed. It would be good to have photos to compare."

Xu Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.

She asked Jinmu for the photos, but he said he couldn't find them and didn't give them to her.

"But why would the messenger send these photos?"

A thought flashed through Xu Yu's mind, and she exchanged a glance with Xu Sibai.

Xu Sibai looked at Su Han and said, "Let's not worry about it for now. Let's see if the person who sent the photos is just sending photos or if they have other intentions."

Looking at the photo, Xu Sibai said softly, "I'll go ask at Baiyun Kindergarten."

Ask if it was a missing photo, or... if there is no such person as Su Jinmu.

.

“I’ll go with you,” Xu Yu said.

Su Han was unaware of the guesses and verifications made by Xu Yu and Xu Sibai before they arrived at Baiyun Kindergarten.

This kindergarten was on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor management, but the Xu family stepped in to save it.

When the manager saw the two, he was delighted and went over to them. As requested, he found the photos from that year for archiving and called over several teachers with more than ten years of teaching experience.

Xu Yu and Xu Sibai compared the photos one by one. This batch of photos was completely consistent with the ones in the envelope in front of the Xu family’s door, with no omissions.

"Is everything here?" Xu Sibai asked. "Are there any damaged photos? Or did any child accidentally not get a picture taken?"

"They're all here. As for not getting a picture, that's impossible."

An older teacher said, "In these group photos, even if some children are not in the picture for some reason, a separate picture will be taken later and combined with the rest of the photos, similar to how they are photoshopped in nowadays."

Xu Yu tapped her fingertip lightly, her meaning unclear, and took out a photo.

This is a current photo of Su Jinmu.

"Then, could you teachers please take a look and see if this person matches any of the students from back then?"

Kindergarten teachers see many children and parents picking them up, so they are quite experienced in recognizing faces.

A veteran teacher put on his glasses and looked at her closely. "She's really pretty. She must have been pretty in kindergarten too."

A teacher nearby nodded in agreement.

"Yes, at first glance I don't recognize it, but upon closer inspection it seems... seems somewhat familiar."

The old teacher looked at her for a while, then raised his gaze, his eyes shining through his glasses, and turned to Xu Yu, "She seems to resemble Miss Xu a bit."

Xu Yu: "...??!"

Xu Yu remained silent for a while.

She had previously thought that Su Jinmu and her mother's lower face looked somewhat alike, but her mother herself said she didn't think so. Now it was her turn...

Having known her for so long, she really didn't think Su Jinmu looked like her.

Is this kind of visual estimation reliable?

Xu Yu pursed her lips.

Xu Sibai paused for a moment, "Are there any students who look like this young man in the photo?"

...

Su Jinmu was hurriedly called over and was quite surprised when she sat down, not knowing what had happened.

At the square table, Xu Yu and Xu Sibai each sat on one side, carefully scrutinizing Su Jinmu.

Regardless of the circumstances, Su Jinmu is definitely suspicious.

The kindergarten is suspicious, the childhood photos that can't be provided are suspicious, and even the strands of hair provided are suspicious.

The person who sent the photos had no idea what their purpose was, so to be on the safe side, we didn't choose the Xu family or the Su family's house as the meeting place, but instead found a coffee shop that we didn't want to meet.

The group sat together.

Su Jinmu felt a little strange being stared at by the two men, and a few hairs on the back of her neck stood on end. She took a sip of coffee and asked, "What's wrong? Why did you call me in such a hurry?"

"Jinmu".

Xu Sibai cut to the chase, "We happened to see a group photo of all the students from Baiyun Kindergarten today, and you weren't in the senior class!"

They've tried everything, even the DNA test; there's really no room for hiding anything.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu: "...?!!"

Su Jinmu paused, slightly raised her eyes, glanced at the expressions of the two, and gently pursed her lips.

"……photo?"

Xu Sibai nodded, "That's right. You said you went to Baiyun Kindergarten, but Mumu is in the middle class and you are in the senior class. We couldn't find you."

Su Jinmu took another sip of coffee and glanced at the two of them out of the corner of her eye.

They came with a serious and prepared demeanor, as if they were carrying some obvious anomaly or suspicion.

It's impossible that they would ask for photos just for the sake of asking.

Su Jinmu's temple twitched slightly, her nerves tense, unsure of what was going on; a sudden change had occurred on the Xu family's side.

"I don't know either, what's wrong?" Su Jinmu stalled for time.

Xu Yu: "..."

Xu Yu didn't want to beat around the bush, so she looked at Su Jinmu's expression and asked directly.

“You remember attending Baiyun Kindergarten, but you weren’t in the senior class. Is it possible that you weren’t in the senior class, but rather… the middle class?”

"Baiyun Kindergarten, could it be that the Su family didn't arrange for you to attend it? After all, it's too far away, and it's inconvenient to travel back and forth."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu: "…………"

The nerve behind his ear twitched even more violently, as if it were being pulled by a thread.

"I don't remember."

"Then how do you remember attending Baiyun Kindergarten? Your older brother didn't attend Baiyun Kindergarten; he attended one near the Su family's residence."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu's breathing became slightly sluggish. Glancing at their expressions, she knew that it wouldn't be easy to explain today.

...Why did things suddenly turn out like this?

What photo? Where did you get it?

Su Jinmu's heart sank slightly.

He met Xu Yu and Xu Sibai's gazes, took another sip of coffee, and lowered his eyes to block their view.

“Jin Mu?” Xu Yu looked at him.

Su Jinmu's heart tightened slightly, her heartbeat quickened, and she clenched her fists a little tighter. She put down the cup, lowered her eyes, and thought for a moment.

He seemed hesitant.

"I understand what you mean."

Su Jinmu pursed her lips and slowly said, "But I've never actually been to Baiyun Kindergarten. I was just making things up."

Xu Yu: "?!"

Xu Sibai: "??!"

Um?

Su Jinmu's lips tightened for a moment, appearing calm but slightly hesitant. "I was born when my parents were traveling. I followed them around everywhere when I was little, so I never actually went to kindergarten."

He said, "After returning to Jingzhou, my parents felt it was inappropriate, but since no one really cared about my kindergarten education, they told me to just say one."

"No one had asked before, so I just mentioned it casually at the time."

Su Jinmu looked at the two of them, her heart pounding, but her expression remained calm as she said, "I didn't expect to be in the same kindergarten as Mumu. It's just a coincidence."

Xu Sibai and Xu Yu stared at him intently, their expressions unreadable.

Su Jinmu sat steadily, but the nerves in the back of her neck were throbbing, her heart was a little unsteady, and her eyes were slightly dark.

At this crucial juncture, we must not let the Xu family discover the truth.

Moreover, the kindergarten story is true. Su's parents said that he didn't attend kindergarten when he was a child because he went on a trip, and told him to make up whatever he wanted. They thought that they could find someone to pull some strings and add the kindergarten qualification to the story after someone asked.

As a result, no one mentioned it, and the matter was left unresolved.

Therefore, Su Jinmu does not actually have any educational records from kindergarten.

No results found.

As long as the Xu family can't find anything, there won't be a problem.

Su Jinmu calmly raised her eyes, "So I'm really not in the photo, I'm sorry."

Xu Sibai and Xu Yu were silent for a while.

At that time, they asked those senior teachers if any of the children looked like Su Jinmu now.

The other party's answer was—

"The age difference is too big, the photos are old, and many people in them are blurry, so it's hard to tell them apart."

...Really...just an accident?

Is it really such a coincidence?

Xu Yu pinched the space between her eyebrows.

Xu Sibai sat up straight, his posture very solemn. "Jinmu, could you give me another strand of your hair?"

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu stared at him intently. Xu Sibai was very polite and persistent. "I apologize for the offense, but... we will not let any possibility pass us by."

“There are four of us in my family, and we’ve been separated for too long.” His voice trailed off.

It was almost oppressive.

Su Jinmu's heart sank, her heart pounded, and her fingertips curled slightly.

After a moment, he raised his hand and touched the back of his head.

...He gently patted his fingertips together from inside his sleeve.

It was an inexplicable intuition.

He took Li Xin's hair with him before leaving the house.

Su Jinmu's throat felt a little dry, the bitterness of the coffee lingered on her tongue. She paused for two seconds, then handed it over, giving a slight smile.

"I understand, give it to me."

Xu Sibai smiled, took it, and Xu Yu quickly glanced at the strand of hair, then compared it to Su Jinmu's hair, squinting slightly to examine it carefully.

Su Jinmu took a deep breath, smiled, feeling a little stuffy but also strangely relaxed.

"Then you guys go ahead with your work, I'll be going now."

He got up and left without waiting for the other party to stop him.

Su Jinmu left the coffee shop, walked a short distance along the road, and turned into a quiet, less crowded side street. She let out a few breaths, her chest rose and fell slightly, and her pace slowed down.

His decision will not be changed.

He can no longer integrate into any close relationship, nor does he want to.

The Xu family has been peaceful for so many years, why stir up trouble again?

so……

Let's just forget about it.

Su Jinmu lowered her eyes, staring at the ground. Her clear eyes seemed somewhat opaque, conveying a profound and lingering meaning.

But the photos.

A photo that appeared out of nowhere.

Where did it come from?

.

As Su Jinmu walked back, she had a vague feeling that something was watching her from behind.

Looking back, there was no one there.

It's like seeing a ghost.

Su Jinmu's expression turned cold. She returned to the Su family home, and less than five minutes later, a familiar young man slowly stepped in and closed the door behind him.

Li Xin smiled slowly, walked up to him, knelt down on the ground with his knees apart, his black trousers taut, and raised his hand to grasp the back of his knees.

"Young Master, did you receive the gift I sent?" He asked with a low, eerie smile.

……Oh.

Su Jinmu sat there, her face as cold as jade. She didn't have much emotion to begin with, but when Li Xin admitted it so readily, she clenched her teeth, grabbed the other's chin, pulled him over, and stared down at him.

"Didn't I say that you shouldn't cross my bottom line?"

Li Xin's body obediently allowed him to pull her over, her neck tilted back, and she chuckled softly, both obedient and manic.

"How could that be? The young master only said that he would recognize the Xu family later. Since they are going to recognize each other, the truth must be revealed little by little."

"How could I possibly cross the young master's bottom line?" Li Xin laughed even harder, his laughter strange and sinister.

Su Jinmu stared at him, her rosy lips pressed together, forming a thin line. "Since it's you, why didn't you come out with me?"

Li Xin's chin was pinched by him, and he gently and affectionately rubbed against him, but the other person's movements were too tight, and he couldn't rub against him. His voice was strangely low.

"I want to see how the young master will react to receiving the gift."

It's about gradually accepting and advancing the relationship with the Xu family.

I'm still unhappy, unwilling, and disagree.

Now he knows the outcome.

A chilling aura of malevolence emanated from Li Xin, but the smile on his face remained gentle.

...The young master was almost angry.

It seems like the original plan has been disrupted.

Li Xin chuckled softly, his eyes crazed, his lips crimson, and his aura chillingly cold as he moved closer to him.

"Is there no plan for the young master to reunite with the Xu family?"

Su Jinmu looked down at him, her expression indifferent.

Ignoring everything else, Li Xin moved even closer. He grabbed Su Jinmu's knees and pulled them to his sides, squeezing his entire body in. He smiled strangely and grotesquely, sticking close to her and speaking softly.

"What is the young master's plan for me?"

“…Li Xin.” Su Jinmu called out to him in a lukewarm tone.

Li Xin smiled, his dark eyes almost chilling, staring intently at her.

"I am here."

He grasped Su Jinmu's hand, pulled it down, and kissed it intimately and wantonly, his voice both sinister and gentle, "I don't care about titles, bed partner, servant, anything is fine, but—"

He raised his lips in a sinister smile, biting at his fingertips as if haunted by a malevolent spirit. "I will not let the young master go. Absolutely not."

Su Jinmu's eyes remained calm and undisturbed as she looked at him indifferently.

Li Xin disliked this aloof and indifferent gaze. He laughed violently, a wild and terrifying laugh, and pulled Li Xin's hand to his chest.

"Don't even think about it unless I'm dead."

Su Jinmu's hand was pressed against the boy's chest. The skin beneath her palm was icy cold, and beneath the flesh, her heart pounded heavily against her palm, causing the nerves in her palm to throb.

Su Jinmu pursed her lips, her clear eyes narrowed, and her fingertips subtly shifted. "Stop acting crazy."

Li Xin's eyes suddenly lit up with a chilling light, and he pressed his hand down, his lips curving into a maniacal smile.

"The young master has softened his heart."

"Young Master can't bear to part with me."

Li Xin stared intently at him, then rubbed her cheek against his palm with a passionate yet enigmatic gesture, giving it a wet, light bite.

He tilted his head back, looking like a ghost or a snake, winding his way up, and obediently smiled, "Then I wish us to be together forever, and have a long and happy marriage."
