Chapter 26
Zhong Mengyuan was almost asleep. She reached out and tried to push Yin Mu's hand away. She turned her back to her and mumbled, "Don't move. I'm so sleepy. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Yin Mu glared at the back of her head, angry and jealous of how quickly she fell asleep. He stretched out his finger and poked her angrily through the air: "Just go to sleep, I'll settle the score with you tomorrow."
She pulled the quilt up, turned over, and closed her eyes for an unknown amount of time before she fell asleep.
The next day, Yin Mu was awakened by the sound of water in the bathroom. He opened his eyes in a daze, staring at the ceiling, and slowly realized that he was in Zhong Mengyuan's room.
She squirmed and stretched her limbs, twisting herself into a strange position.
Zhong Mengyuan happened to come out of the bathroom and laughed when she saw her like this: "What kind of hairstyle is this? Flying? Hurry up and get up and go back to your room to wash up, then go downstairs to eat."
Yin Mu yawned and lazily buried his face in the quilt: "What's there to eat? It would be great if I could sleep for ten more minutes."
Zhong Mengyuan rolled her eyes at her with disdain: "Just forget about being lazy."
Yin Mu pouted aggrievedly: "You don't love me anymore."
"I love you so much." Zhong Mengyuan put on a serious expression, "Dear Miss Rabbit, I sincerely invite you to accompany me downstairs for breakfast. - Is that okay?"
"Okay, okay, if you keep doing this, I'll be full before breakfast." Yin Mu threw off the quilt and got out of bed. "You have to make your own breakfast, what do you want to eat?"
"I can just handle a couple of bites. I'm used to it at work."
"Okay, then let's see what else is in the refrigerator." Yin Mu nodded in agreement, "I'm leaving now. See you in five minutes."
"You don't have to be so anxious. Take care of your appearance."
Yin Mu opened the door, turned around and winked at her: "There's no need for that with this face, natural beauty comes first."
Zhong Mengyuan shook his head helplessly: "Okay, as long as you are happy."
Yin Mu smiled, closed the door and left.
She returned to her room, washed up in a hurry, found a yellow dress to change into, and put on some light makeup. When she went out again, she saw Zhong Mengyuan waiting for her in the living room, with his legs crossed and swinging back and forth, looking very relaxed and contented.
Yin Mu pointed and said, "Legs, legs, legs, put them down. Do you think you have scoliosis?"
"Don't say such scary things so early in the morning." Zhong Mengyuan said it firmly, but he was still frightened. He lowered his legs obediently and looked her up and down. "Nice skirt, turn around and let me see it."
Yin Mu lifted the hem of her skirt and turned around obediently, asking worriedly, "Is it okay? Does this color make me look like I'm trying to look younger?"
"You're still young, so what's the big deal?" Zhong Mengyuan stood up and walked over, saying, "Let's go downstairs and eat."
She wore a loose light yellow long-sleeved shirt today, with the hem casually tucked into denim shorts, revealing two long and straight legs. Her semi-long hair was combed into a half-bun, making her look casual and handsome.
Compared to her, Yin Mu suddenly felt like a little girl holding flowers who had never seen the world. He followed her in small steps: "Hey, here I come."
Zhong Mengyuan turned to look at her in confusion: "What are you playing with so abstractly so early in the morning?"
Yin Mu chuckled foolishly and didn't answer.
When they went downstairs to the restaurant, only Lu Zilin and Zhou Jingyu were eating breakfast there. When they saw them, they both greeted them.
"Good morning." Zhong Mengyuan remembered what Yin Mu said the night before. When she looked at Lu Zilin, her eyes unconsciously showed some inquiry and scrutiny.
Lu Zilin was completely unaware and continued chatting: "Meng Meng also came to see you last night, right?"
"Yeah, isn't it about who you want to date?"
Lu Zilin then asked, "Who did you write about?"
Zhong Mengyuan smiled but didn't answer: "Wait for Mengmeng."
Yin Mu had already gone into the kitchen and poked his head out to ask, "Mengyuan, how many eggs do you want to eat?"
"Just one is enough. Let me see if there is anything else to eat." After saying that, Zhong Mengyuan also walked into the kitchen to find Yin Mu.
It was still early at this time, and there were not many people in the live broadcast room, and the barrage of comments floated by sparsely.
[Tsk tsk, one asked naturally and the other answered naturally.]
【Can’t I just buy this pair? 】
【I like sisterhood too! 】
【They are dressed very well today! 】
Is there another threesome today? I love threesomes.
…
Yin Mu just took out two eggs and was about to throw them into the egg cooker when the kitchen door was pushed open again. Chen Qinglin walked in. Seeing Yin Mu and Zhong Mengyuan were there, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Good morning."
"Good morning." Yin Mu smiled and asked, "Do you want some eggs? I'll cook them for you."
"Um……"
Yin Mu opened the refrigerator door, turned around and asked, "Two?"
Chen Qinglin replied in a serious tone: "Okay, thank you."
Yin Mu took two more eggs, then thought about it and took one more, muttering to himself, "Let's cook one more, just in case Zheng Wei wants to eat some too."
Chen Qinglin heard this and asked, "What if she doesn't eat?"
Yin Mu tilted his head: "You want to eat?"
Zhong Mengyuan drank milk from the cup, observing their interaction calmly, with a smile on her face. "I'll go wait outside. You two can guard my eggs and chat slowly."
"Hey, Meng Yuan——"
Zhong Mengyuan ignored her, waved his hand, and went out with the milk.
Only Yin Mu and Chen Qinglin were left in the kitchen. Yin Mu looked at Chen Qinglin's face, thinking of their interaction last night, and felt a little awkward for some reason. He made small talk: "Did you sleep well last night?"
"I'm fine. How about you?"
"I'm fine too."
"Well, that's good." Chen Qinglin nodded. "I've been here for a few days and I've gotten used to it."
"Yeah, you'll get used to it." Yin Mu recalled the first night she came to the villa. She went to the swimming pool to get some fresh air and happened to meet Chen Qinglin. It had only been a few days, but it felt like a long time had passed.
Seeing her dazed, Chen Qinglin raised his hand and waved it in front of her: "Yin Mu?"
"Hmm?" Yin Mu came back to his senses. "What's wrong? What did you say?"
Chen Qinglin said with a smile: "I didn't say anything. You are silent. What are you thinking about?"
The person he was thinking about was right in front of him. Yin Mu felt a little guilty, his eyes wandering, and he said with bravado: "I'm not thinking about anything. Why do I have to talk? I just want to be in a daze quietly. Is that not okay?"
Chen Qinglin smiled and said softly, "Of course, no one said no."
Yin Mu coughed lightly and looked away.
[Ahhhhh, Chen Qinglin's smile is so gentle. ]
[I've noticed that Chen Qinglin only talks a lot to Yin Mucai.]
【And he would smile at her! 】
[Wow, this is so good! They have to choose each other today.]
[From top to bottom, inside and out, they're a perfect match. They're definitely my favorite couple!]
…
Yin Mu leaned against the kitchen counter drinking milk. Chen Qinglin didn't go out either, but stayed in the kitchen chatting with her.
After a while, the egg cooker made a "ding" sound. Yin Mu turned his head to take a look and said, "It's cooked." Then he put down the milk and reached out to open the lid.
"Wait!" Chen Qinglin tried to stop him, but he was still a step too late. He watched Yin Mu retract his hand due to being scalded by the steam and let out a low "hiss" sound.
"Are you okay?" Chen Qinglin was so anxious that he completely ignored the question of politeness. He grabbed her hand and took a closer look. Sure enough, he saw that her white fingers were burned red. He couldn't help but look worried. "Does it hurt?"
"It's okay, just that one moment."
"Come here and rinse with cold water." Chen Qinglin pulled Yin Mu to the faucet, turned on the cold water and rinsed her fingers.
The cool water poured over Yin Mu's hands, making him feel much more comfortable. He was still a little uncomfortable with Chen Qinglin holding his hands, so he said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Chen Qinglin finally realized that his behavior was inappropriate and quickly let go of her hand: "I'm sorry, I——"
"It's okay, it's okay." Yin Mu quickly explained, "You're just concerned about me. I don't mean to blame you."
"...Yeah." Chen Qinglin responded softly, turned around to open the lid of the egg boiler, and said, "Let it cool for a few minutes before opening it."
Yin Mu turned off the faucet, wiped the water off his hands with a piece of kitchen paper, looked at his fingers, and said casually: "I always turned it on directly before, and it never happened. I was just careless just now."
"Okay, then don't be so careless in the future, or you'll be the one who suffers."
Yin Mu blew on his fingers and didn't care much: "It's not that serious."
"It's not serious even if it's burned red. It would be embarrassing for others to see it..." Chen Qinglin seemed to realize that he had said something wrong. He stopped talking and didn't continue. He lowered his head to rinse the eggs with cold water.
His voice was so low that Yin Mugang, absentmindedly observing his fingers, didn't hear clearly and asked, "What did you say?"
"I--"
Before Chen Qinglin finished speaking, the kitchen door was pushed open and Zheng Wei's cheerful voice rang out: "Good morning, Mumu, good morning, Chen Qinglin."
[Chen Qinglin, you feel heartbroken, don't you?]
[I feel bad for Yin Mu's beautiful hands too.]
[Zheng Wei, get out! You came at such a bad time today!]
[Let me finish speaking for Chen Qinglin. It makes people feel sad.]
[The one who got burned was Yin Mu, and the one who was anxious was Chen Qinglin. He couldn't hide his feelings at all.]
…
Seeing Zheng Wei in high spirits, Yin Mu teased her, "It seems you slept soundly."
"It's okay." Zheng Wei came over with a smile. "There are boiled eggs. Is there any for me?"
"What a coincidence, I just saved one for you."
"Wow, I knew my Mu Mu was the most considerate. Thank you!" Zheng Wei hugged her arm and rubbed her shoulder, her words as sweet as honey. "Your skirt is so beautiful too, like a little sunflower."
Yin Mu was amused by her and touched her face: "Thank you, you look better in this outfit today."
Chen Qinglin listened to their praises and felt that he was particularly redundant standing there. He silently put the eggs on the plate and said, "You guys go sit in the restaurant. Don't stand here."
"Oh, yes, why do we have to talk in the kitchen?" Zheng Wei pulled Yin Mu out, "Come on, let's go out."
Yin Mu looked back: "I haven't got my milk yet."
"I'll get it for you. You can go out first." Chen Qinglin responded considerately and asked, "Zheng Wei, do you need help getting some milk?"
Zheng Wei raised her lips and smiled: "Okay, thank you."
