As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Xingzhi felt Su Qingluan's body stiffen a little. A mischievous smile flashed in his eyes, but his face seemed to be unaware of it. He asked, "Do you want to sleep inside or outside?"
"Together?!" Su Qingluan exclaimed. She was so surprised that her voice cracked.
Mu Xingzhi's expression was very innocent: "Although it's just the beginning of autumn and the weather isn't too cold, it's still late at night and the dew is heavy. You don't want me to sleep on the floor, do you?"
"...Or I'll sleep on the floor." Su Qingluan looked at the large carved bed, which was spacious, but the "safe distance" for the two of them was still beyond the warning line, and said dryly, "Don't worry, I'm in great shape."
"Who caught a cold two months ago?" Mu Xingzhi raised his eyelids and ruthlessly exposed Su Qingluan's "promise".
"..." Su Qingluan had no confidence to begin with, and now that her past was exposed, she became even weaker: There was nothing she could do, because this man was such an excellent doctor, and the two of them were engaged at the time, so everyone except her would think that it was very appropriate to let Mu Xingzhi come for the consultation compared to the "outsider" from Huichuntang.
Fortunately, the cold wasn't serious, and Su Qingluan slept for three days at home and recovered. However, when she thought of the medicine she had been forced to drink, she felt a bitter taste in her tongue.
Seeing that Su Qingluan still looked as if she was facing a formidable enemy, Mu Xingzhi shook his head and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, I'm not that impatient—besides, if I really wanted to, you wouldn't be able to do anything to me, right?"
"Who said I can't do anything?" Su Qingluan immediately grabbed her collar with both hands and clenched them tightly. "If you dare to touch me, I will scream!"
Originally, Mu Xingzhi really had no intention of going any further, but seeing Su Qingluan's posture as if she was about to sacrifice herself heroically, he wanted to tease her again, so he simply stood up.
Originally, Su Qingluan also knew that Mu Xingzhi was tall and slender, but because the original appearance of "Mu Xingzhi" was gentle and unremarkable, even though he was very tall, he did not look aggressive, so he gave people the feeling of a gentle and harmless herbivore.
So even though Su Qingluan had seen Mu Xingzhi standing in front of her several times, she didn't feel anything special.
However, now, Mu Xingzhi has regained his original appearance. His originally soft, gentle and even ordinary facial features have become more profound and distinct, and even have a gorgeous feeling. Such facial features are very impactful when viewed from close up.
What's more, Su Qingluan was looking up at Mu Xingzhi from below, while the other party was looking down at her slightly, which gave her a double sense of oppression from both visual and angle.
This "sense of oppression" is different from the feeling of facing danger that makes people's hair stand on end and sweat run cold, but it also makes people's heart beat faster and their whole body stiffen.
Because the feeling of oppression at this moment was so strong, Su Qingluan couldn't help but take a step back. Seeing this, Mu Xingzhi took a step forward, neither more nor less, and landed exactly at the place where Su Qingluan's foot had landed when she first retreated.
Su Qingluan almost paused for a moment in her breathing due to the sudden approaching position. She took another step back involuntarily, saying with a lack of confidence, "You...you better not do anything rash, okay? Don't think I really don't dare to scream!"
Mu Xingzhi smiled strangely upon hearing this. He seemed to ponder for a moment before smiling faintly, "You can scream, but no one will come to help you even if you scream your throat out."
This line was so familiar, it was practically etched into her soul, so before Mu Xingzhi even finished speaking, Su Qingluan subconsciously replied, "Broken throat!"
The next moment, she felt like banging her head on the ground: Was she losing her mind? What on earth was she thinking? Why did her silly spirit suddenly unleash itself at such a tense moment?
But this was her own fault, because she said this line to Mu Xingzhi herself! At that time, Mu Xingzhi even sighed that her tone was very playboy-like, so lifelike!
Su Qingluan tapped her toes at her own thoughtless reaction to the joke. On the other side, Mu Xingzhi was so laughing because the reaction was so unexpected and funny that he actually laughed so hard that he held on to the wall in front of him and covered his stomach in pain.
"Qingluan, you..." He laughed so hard that his voice was a little unsteady. "Why are you always so funny?"
Su Qingluan looked expressionlessly at the person in front of her who was laughing like a lunatic: "Hey, big brother, are you laughing too much?!" I told you to be so mean, I told you to be so mean! She complained to herself in her heart: I let you make up nonsense and corrupted the ancients, and now you're suffering the consequences!
After all this laughter, the ambiguous and tense atmosphere that Mu Xingzhi had deliberately created had disappeared. Su Qingluan grabbed the collar of the wedding dress with force and glared at Mu Xingzhi fiercely: "I want someone inside me. If you put your hand on me, you'll have no one to follow me!" As she said that, she raised her foot viciously towards the other person's lower body and made a "kicking" gesture.
After saying that, he jumped into the wedding bed in one leap... and then jumped down again the next moment.
"What's wrong?" Mu Xingzhi looked at Su Qingluan jumping up and down like a monkey.
"I just jumped up and knelt down. I don't know if it was longan or lotus seeds!" It's probably lotus seeds! After all, if it's longan, the shell will break!
Su Qingluan's legs were pricked in several places because she hadn't been on guard. Her face was now wrinkled like a chrysanthemum bun. Mu Xingzhi laughed and said, "Who told you to turn all these dried fruits all over the place? Originally, they were all near the edges. We only needed to find these fruits. Now we probably have to turn the whole quilt upside down to find them."
"I... I'm hungry..." Su Qingluan's words were not very confident. After all, she was not very familiar with the wedding process here. But if she said more, she might be exposed, so she simply said she was hungry. It was embarrassing, but it was not the first time today that she had been embarrassed. It is better to have too many debts than not.
Now that Mu Xingzhi has removed his disguise, he definitely cannot call anyone else in, so the two of them can only search for the dried fruits manually.
After a while, all the dried fruits were finally found out, and Su Qingluan jumped onto the bed again - but this time she was much more cautious and moved very slowly.
But when she got into bed, she immediately shook out one of the quilts, and without taking off her clothes or changing them, she wrapped herself up like a red silkworm.
Mu Xingzhi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: Did I really tease him too much?
