At the entrance to Sister Wang's courtyard, sunlight spilled onto the ground, casting dappled shadows on the trees.
At this moment, Mu Liuyun was lying quietly in Mu Xiaoxi's warm embrace. His eyes were lifeless, staring straight at the sky, as if he had lost consciousness.
What's even more striking is that a glistening trickle of saliva hung from the corner of his mouth, slowly dribbling down, making him look as if he had fallen into a state of dementia.
This situation wasn't entirely without reason; it's just that Mu Xiaoxi always took a full hour to get up in the morning.
As a result, the once empty streets became crowded, and before they knew it, it was time for the villagers to get up and start working.
Since leaving that pink-themed hotel, on their way back to Sister Wang's house, Mu Liuyun and Mu Xiaoxi encountered the village chief carrying steamed buns, Mu Jianghe carrying fish, Sun Xingmin carrying Mu Jianghe, and so on.
At first, when she encountered these acquaintances, Mu Liuyun would feel shy and would involuntarily bury her face deep inside Mu Xiaoxi's clothes, trying to avoid the curious gazes of others.
However, as the journey progressed, such situations became more and more frequent.
Gradually, Mu Liuyun seemed to give up resisting, and simply adopted an indifferent attitude, directly entering a state of emptiness.
It's no exaggeration to say that if getting to Sister Wang's house required passing through Jincheng University, Mu Liuyun would probably have already seen through the vanities of the world and become a Buddhist monk.
"Um... could you put me down?"
When the gate of Sister Wang's courtyard came into view, Mu Liuyun found that Mu Xiaoxi was still holding him firmly in her arms, showing no intention of putting him down.
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Mu Liuyun gritted her teeth, forced a smile, and asked Mu Xiaoxi, "What exactly do you want?"
However, Mu Xiaoxi seemed not to hear at all, completely ignoring Mu Liuyun's question.
She casually looked around for a while, and when her gaze fell on Chu Yaqin standing at the entrance of Sister Wang's spacious courtyard, her eyes lit up instantly.
At this moment, Chu Yaqin was chatting with Sister Wang, but her eyes kept glancing over here.
Upon seeing this, Mu Xiaoxi immediately broke into a bright and dazzling smile, as beautiful and charming as a flower blooming in spring. She deliberately showed Chu Yaqin her snow-white, neatly arranged teeth, then suddenly lowered her head and kissed Mu Liuyun's small mouth hard. After finishing, she stuck out her delicate little tongue and licked her lips.
The entire process contained no provocative words, yet it was brimming with provocation.
After doing all this, she gently put Mu Liuyun down.
Chu Yaqin, who had witnessed Mu Xiaoxi's every move, was stunned and stood frozen in place, unable to move as if petrified.
But just a moment later, an uncontrollable rage rose from the bottom of her heart, causing her to involuntarily clench her teeth, her cheeks puffing out slightly with anger.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Yaqin strode forward aggressively towards the direction where Mu Liuyun and Mu Xiaoxi were.
Mu Liuyun naturally noticed Chu Yaqin's angry gaze and her approaching figure. In an instant, an indescribable sense of shame welled up in his heart, making his cheeks turn bright red, like a ripe apple.
At this moment, he didn't dare to raise his head and look directly at Chu Yaqin. He could only keep his head down, nervously fidgeting with the hem of his clothes, secretly pondering how to face the girlfriend he had just started dating yesterday.
Just as Chu Yaqin was about to reach her, Mu Liuyun snapped out of her daze.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, and then, with a slight tremor, went to meet her.
As soon as he got close to Chu Yaqin, he stammered as he tried to explain.
"Yaqin, I..."
He had only spoken halfway when Chu Yaqin placed her finger on his lips.
He raised his head slightly and saw that Chu Yaqin's delicate face was full of smiles. However, behind this seemingly sweet smile, it was as if countless sharp knives were hidden, which made people feel cold.
"My dear Xiaoyun, I'll deal with you later."
Chu Yaqin spoke softly, her voice gentle, but the threat it contained was self-evident.
Immediately afterwards, her beautiful eyes turned to Mu Xiaoxi, a hint of cunning and ruthlessness flashing in them.
"Did you enjoy eating leftovers?"
Hearing this, Mu Xiaoxi wasn't angry. She smiled and replied, "It doesn't matter whether you eat early or late, it's how much you eat that shows your ability."
"snort."
Chu Yaqin was somewhat defeated, and there was really nothing she could do about it. She had originally thought that after eating for half a day, she would be able to finish off all the remaining food.
Who knew that Xiaoyun, despite her young age, possessed such profound knowledge and abilities?
If she had known earlier, she would have gone back to stop it last night!
Damn it, she also wanted to do whatever she wanted to Xiaoyun under the pink light!
"Alright, let's get down to business today, we can argue about this another time."
"It will be all right."
"Xiaoyun, come here quickly!"
Finally, Sister Wang's voice came at just the right time. If it had been a few minutes earlier, Mu Liuyun wouldn't have been here, being stared at by two jackals and tigers with predatory eyes.
But it's not too late to come now.
So, Mu Liuyun replied that she was coming and rushed straight into the inner room.
Chu Yaqin and Mu Xiaoxi didn't say anything, but Shen Lanxin at the courtyard gate maintained the gesture of extending one hand, looking somewhat comical.
"Xiaoyun, won't you say a few words to me...?"
She was a little disappointed, but her spirits quickly lifted again.
It's okay, it'll be her turn soon, and she finally won't have to worry about whether other players can include her.
Hehehe.
She had prepared all the props.
...
...
Jincheng, Lin Yaodong's villa.
Lin Yaodong, holding a teapot, said, "Here, let me pour you a cup."
"Thank you, Uncle Dong. I really enjoy drinking tea."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yaodong paused for a moment, then looked up.
He didn't know when, but the person in front of him was no longer Lao Mo, but Gu Nan with a fawning expression.
"Ha, do people start to become nostalgic as they get older?"
"Uncle Dong, what did you say?"
"nothing."
Lin Yaodong paused for a moment, poured two cups of tea, and then spoke again: "Gu family kid, the last shipment was seized, is this one okay?"
"Uncle Dong, don't worry, my family has a backup plan in the north of the city. The ones we have in the northeast are all low-end items, but the ones we have in the north of the city are all precious treasures that will allow the Gu family to rise again!"
"Um?"
Upon hearing Lin Yaodong's voice, Gu Nan realized he had misspoke: "Hey, the most important thing right now is to take out these treasures and help Uncle Dong get through this difficult time."
"Um!"
After Gu Nan finished speaking, Lin Yaodong nodded and drank the green tea in his cup in one gulp.
