Chapter 64: Seen by My Brother

They said they would leave soon, but in fact they walked for quite a long time and didn't go back until they finished walking around the beach.

After sitting in the car for a while, Linuo's eyelids drooped.

'Looks tired.'

After taking a bus from the city center to the edge of the city and feeling the cold wind, I felt a little tired.

Looking at Li Nuo who was sleeping with his eyes closed, Mo Chuan silently turned up the temperature of the air conditioner to prevent him from catching a cold in his sleep.

When we came back, it was just after noon, lunch time, and there were many cars on the road.

As expected, the city center was congested. Mo Chuan put his hands on the steering wheel and tapped it, feeling a little impatient. But when he saw Li Nuo next to him, he calmed down.

'I wonder if you have me in your dream now.'

Reaching out and gently brushing Linuo's hair, "I hope you can dream of me."

Li Nuo was a little nervous, especially when Mo Chuan reached out to touch him, he almost closed his eyes. After entering the city, he was awakened by the deceleration belt that came every few miles.

But I was worried, so I just closed my eyes and pretended to sleep.

Hearing Mo Chuan's mumbling, his thoughts became even more complicated.

Qin Xu didn't confess to him directly, and he probably couldn't express it with his personality, but he did express the meaning of "I have a good impression of you", and Mo Chuan said it directly.

Although they hadn't discussed it before, the two of them did it at about the same time, which made the situation even more complicated.

'If I could stay here forever... would I accept one of them?'

Qin Xu, who was very fierce at the beginning, suddenly became gentle after a period of time. Although he was still expressionless, he didn't have the resistance he had before when it came to me. He would also take good care of me, though a little overbearing.

Mo Chuan was the same. At first, he thought he was a willful playboy, but he was indeed getting better and better to him.

These two men are the epitome of the term tall, rich and handsome, and countless people want to get close to them.

Qin Xu is not interested in these things. Mo Chuan likes to play along with the situation. Tsk, he suddenly feels a little bad.

Li Nuo's brows twisted slightly, and he suppressed the feeling. It had nothing to do with him anyway, so it was no use being in a bad mood.

Even if you confess your love, you don't have to date. Thinking so much about it makes you feel like you're playing into someone's hands, which is really scary.

The sudden ringing of his cell phone startled him, so he pretended to wake up slowly and took out his cell phone.

It’s Li Yan.

Linuo cleared his throat and answered the phone.

"Yes, Li Yan."

"I don't have to work overtime today, let's have dinner together."

"Really? I understand. I'll wait for you to come back."

"Well, I'll buy some groceries and if anything changes, I'll let you know in the afternoon. Brother, you should eat well at noon."

"Yeah, you too."

After the call ended, Li Nuo put down his phone and yawned.

The road was still jammed and Li Nuo felt a little bored.

"Secretary Li?"

"Well, he said he won't be working overtime today and will be back early in the evening."

"Really? I'll take you back before then."

Mo Chuan glanced at Li Nuo and asked with a slight smile: "But why don't you tell him that you will have lunch with me at noon."

".....That's not necessary."

Mo Chuan's smile widened. If it were the previous Li Nuo, he would have told Li Yan everything, that he and Mo Chuan had gone out to play together, and were going to have dinner together.

But Linuo hung up without saying anything, which made him feel better.

"If you do that, I'll start to overthink it."

"...What do you think?"

“Hehe.”

Mo Chuan didn't reply, but just smiled.

The blocked lane was finally moved. Mo Chuan had already arranged a restaurant, and this time he asked Liu Ming to book a restaurant with a romantic atmosphere.

Staring at the candles on the table and listening to the slowly flowing music, Li Nuo felt helpless, "Aren't candlelight dinners usually held at night?"

"Well, that's right, but you have to go back home to eat in the evening, so I can come for lunch too." Mo Chuan pulled him to sit down.

The waiter came over with a friendly smile and slowly served the dishes. After finishing, he stayed by the side, keeping a distance that was neither too far nor too close.

“These are probably your favorites.”

Li Nuo was stunned. How did Mo Chuan know what he liked to eat?

He glanced over and found that it was true.

Seeing his puzzled look, Mo Chuan smiled complacently, "After all, we have eaten together a few times, and I noticed these things."

Li Nuo bit her lip lightly, managed her expression, and stopped shaking her heart.

I finished my lunch quietly and rested for a while. I felt relieved when I saw the fatigue on Li Nuo's face disappear.

"Let's go to a quiet place this afternoon. You didn't sleep well in the car."

People do feel sleepy after eating. Li Nuo rubbed his eyes and agreed to his suggestion.

It was the same private club I had been to before.

"This place has many functions. Many people with sleep problems come here for treatment."

Indeed, this club occupies a very large area. Today, Mo Chuan took him in a different direction from last time. After passing through a door, all the noise was blocked outside.

Only the sound of soft music was echoing, and the air was filled with a pleasant smell, which immediately woke me up from my sleepiness.

Li Nuo couldn't help but squint his eyes, and appropriately he felt sleepy.

In the quiet box, he was already drowsy after the masseur finished his head massage.

"It's okay, go to sleep, I will remember to wake you up." A gentle voice sounded in my ears.

He trusted the owner of the voice so much that he allowed himself to fall asleep.

Mo Chuan covered him with a blanket and read the documents beside him, waiting for Li Nuo to wake up.

He read a few pages and then looked up at Linuo's sleepy eyes.

The room looked peaceful and tranquil.

When Li Nuo woke up, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

"It's over. What should I do if I can't sleep at night?" He pulled his hair, extremely distressed.

"Well, not that long," Mo Chuan said with some regret, he hadn't seen enough.

"It's already five o'clock. Let me take you home."

He had memorized the place where Li Nuo lived in the navigation. Mo Chuan stopped the car and sighed repeatedly, "It seems that I am the only one who had dinner."

"Hey, maybe I'll eat instant noodles."

As he spoke, he looked at Li Nuo.

"No matter what, you won't fall to the point of having to eat instant noodles." Li Nuo didn't believe what he said at all.

"I have no appetite when eating alone."

"If I remember correctly, you should have returned to Brother Qin's house. Li Yan didn't work overtime tonight, so Brother Qin certainly doesn't need to work overtime either. You are not alone."

Mo Chuan's expression froze, and then he told the truth in a complaining tone: "I just want to have dinner with you. You said that the candlelight dinner should be eaten in the evening."

Li Nuo pulled the car door but it didn't open, so he said helplessly, "Next time for sure."

"You promise!"

Mo Chuan stretched out his little finger with an expectant look on his face. Li Nuo shook his head and laughed, but still hooked his little finger up as well. The two of them stamped their thumbs together.

Mo Chuan then unlocked the car door and got out.

He walked Linuo to the door of his house with open arms.

"Give me a goodbye hug."

"Goodbye."

Mo Chuan looked a little confused. Why did he suddenly refuse? Did he do something wrong? The atmosphere this afternoon was so good.

He looked at Li Nuo silently, and the other lowered his head. "I didn't accept it. It would be bad for both you and me."

Mo Chuan smiled slightly bitterly, "It was so smooth when we held hands, it seems like it's because I'm confused?"

"No, I thought a lot about it this afternoon. If I keep an ambiguous attitude, it will seem that I am very pretentious. I should keep a good distance before I really make a decision."

It's not just the same with Mo Chuan, it should be the same with Qin Xu as well. It's not his style to waver left and right. How is that different from the original owner's way of raising fish?

If you keep it ambiguous, it's like giving people a glimpse of you, and if they reject you in the end, it will hurt them.

For now, let's just stay friends.

"Ha, I really thought about it a lot."

Mo Chuan smiled and said, "Keep your distance? Don't even think about it!"

He reached out and held up Li Nuo's face. This sudden action scared Li Nuo so much that he reflexively reached out to grab Mo Chuan's wrist, trying to take it away from his face.

But he couldn't bend it because the strength of the two people was not at the same level, not to mention that Li Nuo was in a passive position.

"If you don't want a hug, then other methods are fine."

"?"

“Is the forehead position okay?”

"???"

"Are you pretending not to know, or... have you forgotten it so quickly?"

Mo Chuan moved close to his cheek, and his warm breath brushed against it.

"!"

Li Nuo suddenly recalled the kiss in the hospital and his face turned red instantly.

"You are being a hooligan!"

"I only do this to you. I've always been the one taking the initiative. Please at least have some mercy on me and take a step forward."

Looking at Mo Chuan pretending to be pitiful, Li Nuo lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Indeed, in the interactions between him and herself, it was always Mo Chuan who took the initiative, whereas he used to be the one passively enjoying the approach of others.

However, Li Nuo still had concerns in his heart and he could not give a clear answer.

If I refuse, will I lose this rare friend? If I accept, what if the original owner comes back?

Being entangled in these two mentalities made him feel very embarrassed.

"Still not working?"

Mo Chuan's mumbling brought Li Nuo back to his senses, and he gently pushed Mo Chuan.

Following his action, Mo Chuan took a step back and did nothing. However, looking at Li Nuo's red cheeks under the corridor lights and scanning his watch, his heart rate was over 100. He was still able to control his mood and smiled confidently.

It was because of Li Nuo's behavior that he felt he had some confidence. After all, if you really don't like someone, your subconscious mind will tell you to refuse at the moment of confession.

It doesn’t matter. I have already walked ninety steps. I can just keep walking forward.

Mo Chuan's sharp hearing allowed him to hear footsteps. With a structure of one apartment per floor, the person here could only be Li Yan.

As expected, he felt a burning, almost murderous gaze.

'Did you hear that?'

But it doesn't matter. Even if they are brothers with the best relationship, they can't stop my attack. Li Nuo will come to my side.

Mo Chuan reached out his hand and touched Li Nuo, who was still immersed in his own thoughts, and clearly felt the gaze become stronger.

"Okay, go in. Can I contact you in the evening?"

Li Nuo's vision was blocked by Mo Chuan's tall figure and he did not see his younger brother behind him.

"I guess so."

Li Yan's heavy footsteps hit the floor, and Li Nuo tilted his head to look over.

"Ah, I'm back. Thank you for your hard work today."

Facing his brother, Li Yan instantly put away his stern face and unlocked the door almost at lightning speed.

"Brother, come in, Director Mo, I only bought two servings of food, so I won't treat you. Goodbye. Also, you have to go back to the company to report your work."

After saying that, he pulled Li Nuo into the house without even giving them a chance to say goodbye.
