The two are only a year apart in age. Even if they are not biological siblings, there is something wrong with Mu Liuyun and Mu Xiaoxi acting this way.
However, due to her childhood experience of being abandoned, Mu Xiaoxi has always been afraid of the dark and dares not sleep alone. Mu Liuyun can only stay with Mu Xiaoxi every night, trying to keep her distance as much as possible, and coaxing her to sleep.
It wasn't until last year, when Mu Xiaoxi got into university, that her fear of the dark improved considerably. Then Mu Liuyun met Shen Lanxin and, by acting as a substitute, bought this three-bedroom, two-living-room secondhand apartment, finally having her own little corner of the world.
Mu Xiaoxi didn't care whether it was right or wrong. She just smiled and exerted more force with her arms and legs, wishing she could melt Mu Liuyun into her own body.
This caused Mu Liuyun to experience oxygen deprivation on the spot, and she slowly closed her eyes in a warm pain.
In her last few moments of lucidity, Mu Liuyun looked at the dumbbells in the corner of the room and couldn't help but think of something.
"Should I not have agreed to buy her dumbbells last year?"
...
...
As night deepened, Mu Liuyun's soft breathing echoed in the room, and Mu Xiaoxi, who had closed her eyes early, suddenly opened them.
A pair of deep eyes shone brightly as they swept over Mu Liuyun's slightly chubby face.
Then, she stretched out her finger and gently brushed it across Mu Liuyun's cheek, causing Mu Liuyun to frown in her sleep.
"Brother, Xiaoxi has really grown up..."
...
...
The next morning, Mu Liuyun touched her dry lips and felt that there was a faint orange smell.
"Ring ring ring"
The alarm clock's ringing interrupted Mu Liuyun's thoughts, and he forcefully broke free...
"Um?"
I struggled free...
He gently patted Mu Xiaoxi's head: "Xiaoxi, it's time to get up!"
At Mu Liuyun's call, Mu Xiaoxi murmured, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing tightly.
"Taking a break today..."
Seeing Mu Xiaoxi's shameless attitude, Mu Liuyun was both annoyed and amused, and flicked her forehead.
"Rest my ass! Today is the first day of school. If you don't get up, your brother will have to go with you to complete the enrollment procedures!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxi jumped out of bed, hastily released her hands from Mu Liuyun's, and began to get dressed in a flustered manner.
"Brother, I was wrong, I was wrong, don't stay with me!"
Seeing that Mu Xiaoxi was so resistant to her accompanying her, Mu Liuyun only gave her a disdainful look and got up to prepare breakfast.
Ever since moving out of the orphanage, Mu Xiaoxi has always been like this: at home, she can't wait to stick to Mu Liuyun, but outside, she can't wait to say goodbye to Mu Liuyun forever.
Mu Liuyun initially found it strange, thinking that his younger sister was just shy and a little rebellious as she grew up. But when he saw how Mu Xiaoxi clung to him after coming home, he realized it wasn't because of rebellion.
It's called a rebellious phase, but it doesn't quite feel like one.
Such as betrayal?
Oh well, anyway, Mu Xiaoxi has been smart since she was little, has good grades, and there's no need to worry about her social skills.
Mu Liuyun once saw Mu Xiaoxi on the street with her friends. Although there were a few young men and women among them, they seemed to have a good relationship with Mu Xiaoxi.
As long as one of those blond-haired young men manages to stop the will-o'-the-wisp under Old Man Mu's nose, the rest can be left to her to do.
Unable to understand what the young girl was thinking, Mu Liuyun rubbed her thigh, which had been pressed down and lost all feeling, while heating up the steamed buns she had bought a couple of days ago.
Although the buns here don't have thin skins and large fillings, the shop owner is very skilled at preparing the filling. The fatty meat inside makes the buns juicy without making them too greasy.
The meat juices soak into the thick dough, making it not only delicious but also filling.
In Mu Liuyun's eyes, who always considered herself a gourmet, these steamed buns were the finest of the world!
Where is Grandpa?
Mu Xiaoxi ate her steamed bun with gusto while surveying her surroundings.
For a pretty girl, Mu Xiaoxi's eating habits are somewhat unrefined. However, for a pretty girl, unrefined eating habits can also be a plus.
Mu Liuyun drank her congee with preserved egg and lean pork without even looking up.
"He went out early this morning, I don't know where he went to play."
The two engaged in a pointless conversation at the dining table, and soon, the two baskets of large meat buns that were served were gone from Mu Xiaoxi's stomach, while Mu Liuyun was full after eating only two.
I only ate two baskets of steamed buns and a bowl of porridge today. I don't know if Xiaoxi can last until noon.
Just as Mu Liuyun was wondering whether she should bring Mu Xiaoxi some more food, the energetic girl, having finished eating, grabbed her backpack and ran out of the house, leaving behind a series of afterimages in Mu Liuyun's eyes.
"Brother, I'm leaving!"
Mu Liuyun was somewhat speechless.
With just two dumbbells, you can create afterimages?
I touched my biceps, which felt very contracted.
"Should I try it too?"
After tidying up the empty plates on the table, Mu Liuyun took out some mercurochrome and began applying it to her back.
After applying the medicine, Mu Liuyun touched her smooth back and noticed two prominent bloodstains.
I deserve to make money!
"hiss"
Despite the pain, Mu Liuyun lay back down on her bed in her room, suddenly feeling somewhat lost.
In order to do his job as a stunt double well and be available whenever needed, he chose to suspend his studies at university.
Before meeting Shen Lanxin, Mu Liuyun spent her free time delivering food to support her family.
After getting to know Shen Lanxin, Mu Liuyun stopped delivering food so that she could be there whenever Shen Lanxin called.
From then on, Mu Liuyun lost her dignity and her hard-earned job, but all she gained was money.
However, Mu Liuyun's life became busy again after encountering other clients who needed stand-ins.
Looking at the seven-figure balance on her phone, Mu Liuyun sighed deeply.
"It's such a boring and tedious life."
As he was speaking, his phone screen suddenly lit up, and a call came in from someone whose contact name was "Home Field".
Upon seeing that the baby was alive, Mu Liuyun looked impatient and got out of bed while shifting her little bottom.
As soon as he got out of bed, his expression changed abruptly. He answered the phone with a grin and a fawning manner.
"Sister Leyao, you're up so early today!"
The cloyingly sweet loli voice that came from Mu Liuyun's mouth made him feel a little nauseous.
"Xuelan, rehearsal has been moved up today. Be there before 10 o'clock!"
Even if the sound coming from the other side was enough to kill a few flies, Mu Liuyun wouldn't find it strange at all, but as a professional, he continued to use a high-pitched voice.
"Okay~ Sister Leyao~ I'll be there soon~"
After another round of alternating calls, the other side finally let her go, and Mu Liuyun put down her phone with a grimace.
The person who just called was his second stand-in boss, the lead singer of the band Lily, the perverted woman Liu Leyao.
The band Lily originally consisted of three members: Liu Leyao, the lead vocalist and guitarist; Wang Shirong, the drummer; and Lin Xuelan, the keyboardist.
Let's leave Wang Shirong aside for now. Lin Xuelan is Liu Leyao's childhood friend; the two of them practically grew up together.
After starting university, they played music together. The two, who loved music, formed a band and named it Lily. It's unclear whether Liu Leyao had any ulterior motives in doing so.
