Chapter 75 Sincerity and Deception Su Jinmu: "I love you."...

The room was dark. Li Xin sat there, blocking the light, and the shadow he cast almost completely enveloped him, shrouding him in darkness.

Li Xin could feel a slight warmth on his lips, very light and soft.

It carries the young master's unique light and sweet fragrance.

A soft voice sounded in my ear—

I love him.

I love him.

Li Xin's pupils narrowed slightly, his heart skipped a few beats, the world was silent, he stared straight ahead, and vaguely thought he had misheard, without moving an inch.

A moment later, a slight vibration came from his chest, and a hoarse, low voice slowly emerged.

"...What?" he asked, bewildered.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu glanced at him, her lips slightly parted in preparation for speaking.

Li Xin's gaze was fixed on him. When he saw him open his lips, he seemed to suddenly come to his senses. His eyes darkened, and he abruptly raised his hand to cover his mouth and silence him.

His tone was extremely low and hoarse, a grating, grating sound.

"...Young Master..."

Li Xin's heart suddenly started racing, almost creating gusts of wind in the pitch-black night, sweeping through his body and soul. Afraid that he might change his mind again, he covered his face with his hands.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Li Xin stared intently, straightening up, almost like a ghost drooling over a living person, his gaze fixed on them with a strange expression.

He seemed to be a little too excited to react, mixed with a dangerous tremor.

"...Young Master, you're not lying to me, are you?"

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu looked him over, raised an eyebrow, and made two "mmm" sounds with her mouth covered.

Li Xin pressed her palm against his lips, feeling the soft flesh, then released the distance a little.

This ensures that the young master can speak his mind, and also ensures that if he says something he doesn't want to hear, it can be taken back in time.

Su Jinmu: "…………"

Su Jinmu looked at him, raised her eyebrows, and smiled slightly, "Why would I lie to you?"

Li Xin's breathing quickened, his gaze lowered, carrying a hint of melancholy. "Young Master has lied to me too many times."

I promised to wait for him to come back before the fire, but he never did.

He promised not to leave the glass greenhouse, but then he raised his hand and stuck a needle into the back of his neck.

The courtyard in the south was peaceful, and then, without warning, he was given a second injection.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu: "…………" cough.

Su Jinmu cleared her throat and glanced away slightly.

Li Xin's palm was still close to his, very close to his lips. As they spoke, their lips could lightly touch, brushing against each other, raising a little warmth. Su Jinmu looked at Li Xin.

"So, do you want to take it as the truth or a lie?"

Li Xin stared intently, revealing a wild and fierce side, and said in a low, husky voice, "Of course it's true."

“Since the young master has spoken, there is no reason for him to go back on his word.”

Su Jinmu smiled, pulled him by the collar, dragged him closer, moved his hand out of the way, casually kissed Li Xin's lips, and laughed.

"Then you can be it."

?

Li Xin looked bewildered, touched the corner of his mouth, his expression almost blank.

It's like being stunned, or like desire clamoring and indulging.

His desires and instincts almost took over his body. He gripped the young master's wrist tightly, unconsciously leaning forward, getting closer, and their breaths mingled.

He licked his lips in front of Su Jinmu.

The lips that were just kissed by the young master.

A hint of sweetness.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Tsk.

Su Jinmu felt her ears burning, her heart racing, and she felt a little agitated.

“…Young Master.”

Li Xin stared intently, getting closer and closer, his breath becoming anxious and restless with excitement, his eyes dark and deep. "Young Master, Young Master."

Li Xin's breathing was intermittent, almost held, as he drew closer, his knuckles trembling and tense, before pressing his lips against hers and kissing her back.

The lips are closely pressed together.

The young master remained where he was, neither retreating nor dodging.

"!!!"

Li Xin seemed to only realize what was happening now. His pupils were dark, and a smile stretched up from the corners of his scarlet lips. His lips were so taut that they trembled slightly. He kissed him again, licked him wetly, and bit him.

Young master.

Young master...

Whether it's true or not, it's already been said.

He will definitely make sure the young master keeps his word.

There is absolutely no room for regret or retreat.

ha.

Ha ha.

Li Xin laughed, the corners of his mouth turning up, his lips still pressed against Su Jinmu's, burning and rubbing against hers, unable to contain his excitement, staring into the young master's beautiful, moist eyes.

The fingers tightened, gripping firmly.

My mind started racing again.

Could it be... that the young master is planning something again?

Just like before the fire, they indulged him to the extreme.

Will it?

Li Xin's pale fingers gathered around his wrist, rubbing it incessantly. His breathing was rapid, his eyebrows and eyes were glazed over, like a demon biting its target, eerie and unpredictable, excited and crazy. He leaned forward and kissed him again and again.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Looking at his crazed and monstrous appearance, Su Jinmu could guess what he was thinking at this moment.

...I seem to have some kind of trauma from that ghostly thing.

.

"Young master, hold me tight."

He couldn't sleep to begin with, and now he couldn't sleep at all. Li Xin was tense all over, his veins bulging, and a strange, manic smile on his face. He picked the person up and walked away.

"Why."

Su Jinmu was carried outside by Li Xin. She wanted to say something, but then she let him have his way.

Holding the young master in his arms, Li Xin strode through a series of hidden doors to reach the innermost room.

"Smack—"

The light is on.

The layers of glare stung my eyes, causing me to squint slightly.

Li Xin laughed wildly, both pleased with the young master's words and filled with unease.

Pulling and tearing, the possessiveness became increasingly rampant and surging, and the whole person exhibited a kind of frenzied and chaotic madness.

He pulled the person in his arms inside.

"...Hmm."

Su Jinmu's eyes adjusted, and when he opened them, countless images unfolded before him, each one a reflection of him and Li Xin.

Li Xin was laughing, nuzzling against his shoulder, his dark eyes fixed on the young master's face in the mirror, looking horrified.

"Young Master."

He muttered, "Don't lie to me."

Su Jinmu: "..."

"Hmm..."

Su Jinmu felt a tightness on his neck. Li Xin couldn't help but laugh as he pressed his lips against the young master's slender white neck and gently bit it.

He stood behind the young master, his reflection overlapping, like a ghost crawling out of a mirror, clinging to the back of a person, a sinister figure that fit perfectly.

Su Jinmu: "..."

The image was too clear, the mirror room was enclosed, and there were layers upon layers of mirrors.

Su Jinmu heard her own breathing, rapid and heavy, with wisps of pink spreading from the side of her neck where Li Xin had touched her, down to her collarbone, and then up to her earlobe.

The enchanting crimson hue is breathtaking.

Li Xin's gaze grew increasingly intense, and he lightly touched Li Xin's earlobe with the tip of his nose.

It was warm, slightly hot.

Li Xin's lips curled up, his desire stirring, and he gently nuzzled her, "Young Master, your ears are red."

……echo.

The sound of breathing echoed, as did Li Xin's voice.

The sound waves seemed to reflect off the mirror room, drilling straight into people's ears, low and grating.

“...Li Xin..."

Su Jinmu looked and listened intently, her heart pounding. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but lower her eyes, trying to shield her vision.

But Li Xin wouldn't allow it. With a fierce smile, she grabbed his wrist from behind, lifted it up, and kissed it.

"Young master, don't hide, look at me."

"Love me, look at me."

"Don't lie to me, don't leave me."

Su Jinmu's breathing was rapid; she pursed her lips and hesitated.

A soft "hmm" escaped from his throat.

.

Jiang Jing has arrived.

I came here with the Xu family.

That day, he climbed over the wall and bumped into Su Jinmu and Li Xin kissing. He ran away like the wind and went to the Xu family's house, asking incessantly when they found out that Brother Mu was back, and why no one had told him.

The Xu family originally intended to keep quiet until their relationship with Su Jinmu improved and progressed further.

The large number of people in the province was noisy and bothersome, and Jin Mu felt pressured because of the crowd.

I never expected Jiang Jing to follow me and climb over the wall.

Su Jinmu showed no displeasure; the Xu family had simply brought Jiang Jing along today.

"Brother Mu."

Jiang Jing followed the others into the room, glanced at Su Jinmu, then at Li Xin next to Su Jinmu, and instantly remembered the two of them kissing. He scratched his head and laughed, "...Brother Li is here too, haha."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu nodded slightly.

It's already deep winter, but this year seems to be a mild winter. The weather isn't particularly cold, and the sky isn't overcast; it's always bright and sunny.

It's Su Han's birthday, and I wanted to ask Jin Mu if she wanted to come over for hot pot.

Is it today?

Su Jinmu looked up in surprise, "It's my birthday today?"

He really didn't know that.

Su Han smiled and nodded, "We're making hot pot broth at home right now. We have spicy broth, bone broth, mushroom broth, and tomato broth. We can cook them separately, so you can cook whatever flavor you want."

Su Han looked at Su Jinmu with a hint of anticipation, "Are you going?"

Su Jinmu hesitated for a moment, then pursed his lips. Since it was a birthday, he would definitely go, but...

"I didn't know beforehand, so I didn't prepare a gift."

Su Han's eyes lit up, she took a few steps forward, and shook her head.

"No, don't bother preparing a gift. You just came back from the South. I've missed you a lot over the past ten years. I want to see you more often, but I don't need you to do anything for us."

Su Han smiled, her eyes crinkling with laughter, and tears welled up in her eyes as she patted his head.

You should cherish the love from your mom and dad.

She repeated, "We don't need you to do anything for us."

Don't keep emptying yourself to get your parents' love.

You are entitled to it; you don't need to exchange it for anything or any effort.

That's the love you should have had long ago.

Su Jinmu's fingers tightened, and as Su Han looked at her with smiling eyes that were filled with tears, she pursed her lips, a feeling of indescribable emotion welling up in her heart.

It's very soft.

Xu Sibai was delighted. "I bought a lot of vegetables, meat, seafood, snacks, and desserts. I have everything I need."

"Let's go eat now."

Su Jinmu glanced at the time; it was 2 PM. He nodded, "Okay."

He wasn't unwilling at all. Although he was a little unsure how to deal with it, he didn't resist or object.

Since they hadn't prepared any gifts, there was nothing to take. The Xu family members decided to act immediately and turned to leave.

The moment Su Jinmu moved, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.

Turning around, Li Xin stared at him with a tight smile, her voice low and deep.

“…Young Master.”

Li Xin didn't want the young master to disappear from his sight.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu stared at his uneasy expression, his eyes as heavy as ink, his wrist restrained.

I thought about it.

"Or, would you like to come with me?"

The Xu family members weren't in a hurry to leave, and soon noticed the situation. Su Han glanced at their wrists.

Although we were still standing very close, almost touching, there were no handcuffs today.

Perhaps Jinmu has no intention of leaving?

Su Han was quite happy, "Stop dawdling, come on over here."

Su Jinmu nodded, pulled on her wrist, and walked forward with Li Xin, who was holding onto it.

They did not break free.

Li Xin lowered his eyes and stared for a while, then kept glancing at the young master.

.

A year later, I returned to Xu's house, and the first thing I smelled upon entering was the rich aroma of soup base.

It's very strong, penetrating deep into the heart.

Xu Sibai went into the kitchen first, turned off the stove monitoring connected to his phone, checked the soup base consistency, and adjusted the flame size slightly.

They prepared the ingredients efficiently.

When it was time for dinner, the table was covered with food, and several people sat around it in a circle.

Jiang Jing went back first, not lingering, not wanting to disturb their rare family reunion dinner, and planned to come again next time.

Su Jinmu sat next to Su Han, who served him food. Looking at everyone at the table, all present and accounted for, his eyes reddened again.

She was never a crybaby or a fragile person, but looking at Su Jinmu, she couldn't help but think—

I ate at a restaurant like that a year ago.

A year ago, her long-awaited family reunion had already come true.

But she didn't notice.

She's too slow.

Su Han drank some beverage to cover her expression, then put some food on his plate, saying, "Eat more of this, it's appetizing, and it's to your liking."

Su Jinmu glanced at her sideways. A year ago, when her identity wasn't revealed, he could remain a quiet outsider and offer some comfort. But now that it was out in the open, he was somewhat at a loss as to what to do.

I handed her a tissue, looked up, and saw her fair and beautiful face, her voice gentle and soft.

"Happy birthday today! Don't be sad, wishing you a happy birthday!"

He paused, then said softly, "...Mom."

In an instant.

The room seemed to fall silent; all sounds—human voices, conversations, even the bubbling of the hot pot broth—had vanished.

Su Han stared blankly at Su Jinmu, while Xu Sibai and Xu Yu watched from the side. Su Han couldn't hear any other noises and just stared blankly at Su Jinmu, her eyes almost glazed over.

He leaned closer, speaking very softly, as if afraid of startling something.

"...Jinmu, what...did you just shout?"

She lifted her eyelashes and asked cautiously again.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu felt a little unsure how to react to being stared at. Her fingertips twitched slightly as she smelled the fragrance filling the room and noticed the figure watching her from nearby.

The room was sweltering with heat, incredibly warm.

Su Jinmu's blood flow seemed to quicken, her heart contracted, but she didn't try to avoid it.

"……Mother."

It's Mom.

Su Han suddenly smiled, her lips curving upwards and her eyes crinkling. Her smile was bright, but she didn't laugh out loud. She laughed silently, as if her throat was choked up, and it took her a while to recover.

The tone of voice was intermittent.

"Okay... Mommy isn't sad, Mommy, Mommy... I'm very happy."

Su Han hugged him, gently stroked his head, her eyes red.

"Thank you, Jinmu. Thank you for still being willing to accept us, your incompetent family members."

The palm above her head was warm and gentle, causing Su Jinmu's eyelashes to flutter and her chest to feel a little numb.

But it's not uncomfortable.

It was quite late after dinner. Su Han was in a good mood today and didn't want him to leave. She wanted him to stay the night.

That's not a problem. The issue is that Li Xin is also there.

Mumu has a bedroom, but there are no guest rooms in the house.

Su Han looked them over. Li Xin and Su Jinmu were standing very close together. Their winter clothes were loose, and the cuffs were tight, almost overlapping each other.

Su Han: "..."

Su Han glanced over at them secretly.

"..."

Li Xin held Su Jinmu's hand firmly under her sleeve.

It was too dark outside, and it was already past midnight. Su Jinmu didn't want Su Han's wish to be disappointed, so she pursed her lips slightly.

"...Li Xin, you can sleep in the same room as me."

Li Xin raised his eyes, a glint of light flashing in his dark pupils, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

Su Han: "..."

Actually, Jinmu is still very young.

However, the family doesn't interfere much in the children's romantic relationships, especially since Jinmu and Lixin's situation is more complicated, almost involving life and death.

...and handcuffs.

Su Han smiled slightly, trying to appear natural, "...Okay."

Xu Sibai and Xu Yu, who were standing nearby, said, "..."

His gaze swept back and forth between Su Jinmu and Li Xin.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu's ears burned as her hand was grasped beneath her sleeve.

The palms and finger bones are hard, and the fingers slowly hook and scratch.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu clenched her hands tightly to keep from moving, and a layer of heat melted slightly from her porcelain-white earlobes.

.

Su Jinmu had been to the bedroom more than once before; it used to be Mu Mu's room, and its appearance had remained unchanged since she went missing.

But perhaps after he returned, the Xu family made some minor alterations to the interior.

Some of the things that were too immature and unsuitable for Su Jinmu at the moment were replaced.

It appears both childlike and refreshing.

It's as if someone has grown up here from childhood to adulthood, leaving their mark.

Su Jinmu looked around and saw a children's picture book on the table, so she flipped through it.

Li Xin stood next to him, staring straight at him.

He watched helplessly as the young master and the Xu family gradually grew closer, their relationship eased, and little by little, it came to this point today.

On one hand, I'm happy, but on the other hand... I feel confused.

Is it really not something you're deliberately pretending to do?

Too similar.

Like the fire at the flower shop before, I met Feng Yixing and Xu Jia. They were very close and easy-going.

Then it disappeared into the fire.

Li Xin's heart was pounding, and his expression was somewhat eerie and sinister as he held the young master's hand.

Su Jinmu was looking at a picture book from her childhood, casually holding Li Xin's hand, not paying attention. A moment later, her fingertips were enveloped by something icy cold.

The wet roll passes over, then the sharp bite holds on, the tips of the teeth grinding gently.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu looked up, raised an eyebrow, and pressed her fingertip against his lips. "What are you doing?"

"Young Master."

Li Xin was restless. He moved closer, grabbed Su Jinmu's waist, and pulled her.

"...Ugh!"

Su Jinmu was caught off guard and pulled down by him, lying on her back, directly facing his lustful gaze.

Greed is dangerous.

"Young Master."

Li Xin smiled, his pupils piercing, and kissed him with a scarlet, eerie light.

"I'm always afraid that the young master will lie to me."

I fear that everything before my eyes is an illusion.

Then another fire broke out.

Blood dripped from Li Xin's neck, shimmering in front of Su Jinmu, very close, brushing against his neck.

Su Jinmu raised her hand and grabbed it, pulling it down.

“…Hmm.” Li Xin moved down, his eyes filled with a desire for control, and leaned closer, the two of them almost touching.

Their breaths mingled together, becoming damp and sticky.

Su Jinmu's long eyelashes were slightly raised as she looked at Li Xin's eyes before slowly moving down to his lips.

Li Xin's breath hitched, a burning desire rising within him, searing him, causing him to tremble slightly and smile.

Su Jinmu pulled hard on the blood droplet, dragging the person down, and slowly approached, getting closer and closer.

Their breaths grew increasingly moist, their lips burning hot, pressed tightly together.

The two body temperatures merged together.

Li Xin was restless and filled with horrified greed. He laughed and trembled slightly. Although he was obedient and didn't move, letting the young master kiss him, his eyes were dark and terrifying, as if he could swallow a person whole.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and his breathing became heavy.

“…Young Master.”

He murmured.

Su Jinmu slowly kissed him and said, "Mmm."

Take your time.

He's also trying.

Let down your guard and love.

Li Xin stared at his eyebrows and eyes. The young master was as delicate as snow and as exquisite as jade, smooth and delicate.

At this moment, a hint of lust arises.

A subtle, enchanting allure, hazy and seductive.

Li Xin's blood boiled, his breathing quickened, he stared intently, excited, and tightened his grip.

"Young Master."

I like the way you look right now.

"Mmm..." Su Jinmu pressed her lips down, blocking her breath, and slightly raised her head, searching for a breath of air, but her tongue was entangled with his.

The intimacy was shocking.

Desires are rampant.

Su Jinmu's breathing quickened, and she couldn't catch her breath. Taking advantage of the brief moment when she felt a breath of fresh air, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped it against Li Xin's mouth.

Li Xin's eyebrows and eyes were strikingly dark, as if he were smiling. He licked his wet palms and rubbed his fingertips against the inside of the young master's wrist.

Thin skin quickly becomes sensitive and turns slightly red.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and looked at Li Xin, "Hold it back."

Li Xin: "???"

Li Xin rubbed his palm against his hand and bit it, her expression a mixture of desire and eroticism.

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu glanced at the door.

The house is an old house, and in order to ensure a family atmosphere and make it feel like a home, the house is not particularly big.

He wasn't sure if the soundproofing here was good.

Li Xin: "..."

Su Jinmu withdrew his hand. Li Xin was burning hot all over, as if he were on fire. He rubbed his cheek and ear against Su Jinmu's face, grabbed Su Jinmu's wrist, and spoke in a low, hoarse voice.

"Young Master."

"I feel terrible."

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu said coldly, "Hold it in, we have to get up early tomorrow."

I've only stayed here for one night, and everything I do is so shameless.

Nothing works.

Li Xin: "..."

Li Xin rubbed his face against his.

.

Li Xin barely slept all night, half-asleep and half-awake, constantly touching the young master beside him to make sure he was still there.

Did they lie, pretend to be calm, and then suddenly disappear?

He woke up as soon as it was light, and unable to contain himself, he went forward, gripped her waist, and gently nibbled and kissed her.

Su Jinmu also opened her eyes.

A faint sound of footsteps came from outside.

...As expected, it's not soundproof.

Su Jinmu clicked her tongue.

Outside were Su Han and Xu Sibai, who had also been unable to sleep all night, feeling both excited and sleepless. They wandered around Mu Mu's bedroom door early in the morning.

The old house had poor sound insulation, which was actually improved during the renovation, but Mumu couldn't be found at that time. In order to keep his room as it was, this bedroom was the only one that wasn't renovated.

Su Han and Xu Sibai had also forgotten about it and were loitering at the door without any regard for the consequences.

Su Han paced back and forth. "Jin Mu and Li Xin are still asleep. What time did they go to sleep last night... um...?"

Xu Sibai: "..."

Su Jinmu and Li Xin, separated by a door: "..."

Xu Sibai paused, "It's still early, it's normal for the young people not to be awake yet."

Xu Sibai glanced at the door. "After I finish making breakfast, should I wake them up?"

Su Han: "...Is this appropriate?"

Su Jinmu: "..."

Li Xin: "..."

Su Jinmu's ears burned. She hurriedly sat up, quickly washed up, and opened the door.

"Good morning, Mom and Dad."

Su Han stared blankly at the open door, her mind going blank for a couple of seconds. Su Jinmu had only called her "Mom" yesterday. Xu Sibai was stunned by the word "Dad" and forgot what he had just been talking about. He smiled and leaned forward.

"Did you sleep well last night? What do you want to eat for breakfast?"

Su Jinmu: "..."

Su Jinmu touched her earlobe. "It's alright."

His ears were burning, so Su Jinmu looked away.

It was a bit too much to ask Li Xin to stay with her on the first night at Xu's house.

He spoke hastily, then smiled, "I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I'll skip breakfast for now, maybe next time."

After saying that, he grabbed Li Xin and started walking away.

Su Han and Xu Sibai looked bewildered. "Aren't you going to eat?"

Su Jinmu waved his hand and quickly left, leaving the two of them staring at each other in bewilderment.

Su Han was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly seemed to wake up and remember something.

"...Oh no! Mumu's room isn't soundproof, he heard everything!"

I'm so sad my ears are so red.

Su Han took two steps in place and blinked. Did this mean that Jin Mu did indeed... do something with Li Xin at night...?

.

Li Xin was quite happy to be pulled out by Su Jinmu, as he enjoyed being held by the young master.

They rushed back to the Su family home.

The Xu family has made progress, taking a leap forward.

What about him?

Is the young master in front of him real or fake, sincere or lying?

Li Xin smiled strangely and carried the person directly into the underground level.

He slammed the door shut, and with a "bang," pushed Su Jinmu onto the bed.

"Young Master."

"Young Master."

"Can I stop holding it in now?"

Su Jinmu: "..."

"...Hmm."

The airflow is sluggish, making it difficult to breathe.

Li Xin rubbed and teased Su Jinmu's lips, then moved to the crook of her neck, biting her repeatedly.

It felt like an electric current was coursing through my body, and I opened my mouth to gasp for breath.

Li Xin, suppressing his rage, kissed him, his pupils staring straight at him, "Young Master."

Li Xin laughed domineeringly and kissed his collarbone, "Does the young master like the Xu family?"

Su Jinmu's breathing was erratic, her breath labored, as if she were suffocating. Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she tugged at Li Xin's hair. "...Otherwise what?"

...Are you really not leaving?

Li Xin pursed his lips, his madness intensifying, his scarlet lips pressed close together, like a man-eating demon.

"What about me? What about me?"

Su Jinmu felt a surge of heat as he licked the corner of her mouth, her breathing becoming increasingly labored and her body burning with heat.

The underground cabins seemed to have become a furnace, teeming with restlessness.

Li Xin kissed him, staring intently, touching him intimately, laughing maniacally, and pulling his hand to rub his palm.

"Young Master, say you love me, say you've always loved me."

Su Jinmu felt stifled and dizzy, her bright eyes seemed to be tinged with a blush, making her look captivating and beautiful.

She pulled Li Xin's chin up, dragged him close, pressed her fingertip against the corner of his mouth, and spoke softly.

"I love you."
