Chapter 48 While recovering from her injuries, she began to plot... her grand scheme of seduction...
Mu Tingyu didn't go through his WeChat contact list again.
Because there's really nothing worth translating; it's all just full names like xxx, making it seem more like a client or a stranger, cold and deserted. Even the contact name for his sister is "Xing En".
Only the most prominent "Don't Listen" at the very top became the brightest star in his list, hanging there blazingly, highlighting its unique status.
Mu Tingyu glanced at it briefly; his phone screen was spotless, with the original desktop, original theme, and a few scattered apps. He didn't even seem to have downloaded any of the currently popular short video apps, making him look exactly like an old man.
No, that's not right. Nowadays, older people also enjoy watching short videos.
Besides, she only wanted to see what Xing Ze and Shao Yue had talked about; she didn't really intend to check his phone.
Xing Ze is the kind of person who would never participate in any social activities he's not interested in. The most interesting thing on his phone is probably his wallet balance...
The second interesting thing is his chat history with "S University's All-Knowing Scholar".
Xing Ze added to the school's campus wall, and while she was surprised, she was mostly happy.
This shows that he cares about her.
Whether it's jealousy or whatever, at least he cares about her, which is why he went to such lengths to add Shaoyue and the campus wall to look at a post from several years ago.
She had almost forgotten about that post on her WeChat Moments, only remembering that the boy who posted it seemed to have pursued her for a while, but then it all fizzled out.
She's stubborn and won't change her attitude because of what others do; if she doesn't like something, she simply doesn't like it.
Just like Xing Ze, she likes what she likes, and she can't control that kind of physical urge.
Mu Tingyu returned the phone to him, turned to the side, hugged his waist, and buried her face in his chest.
Xing Ze took it, placed it on the bedside table, and hugged her: "Tired?"
Mu Tingyu shook her head and put her leg up on the lap as well.
This way of hugging a koala is very "shepherding," with the person practically clinging to the koala's body.
Xing Ze had jokingly said that Mu Tingyu clung to him like an octopus when she slept at night, but that was just a joke.
Once this little rascal is really asleep, he sleeps very well, curling up obediently in one spot, and doesn't change position much all night.
Unlike now, when we're hugging, my hands start to wander.
Xing Ze caught her hand as she secretly slipped into his clothes, and said helplessly, "Aren't you going to sleep or not?"
Mu Tingyu's wrist was being held, and her fingers twitched: "You're stingy."
She buried her head in his chest and rubbed against it, pulling his bathrobe open slightly to reveal his muscular physique.
"......"
Xing Ze pressed his forehead against hers and pushed her back: "Alright, stop fooling around."
Mu Tingyu lay on her back on the pillow and pouted.
He was just taking care of himself in the bathroom, but now he's pretending to be a virtuous gentleman unmoved by beauty...
Hypocritical. Stingy.
However, it was indeed getting late, and her biological clock promptly fell on her eyelids. Feeling heavy, she began to drowsy as soon as her head hit the pillow.
She yawned and instructed Xing Ze, "Set an alarm clock, or I'll be late tomorrow."
Xing Zezheng got out of bed, walked to her bedside, and placed a pillow under her injured foot to prevent her from moving around in the middle of the night and hurting herself again.
Hearing this, he raised an eyebrow: "Late for what?"
"I have class to attend."
Xing Ze lowered his eyes, gently placed her feet in the middle of the pillow, and said in a light tone, "I asked Zhuang Ren for leave for you."
"Hmm?"
Mu Tingyu's eyes widened: "Why didn't you tell me?"
"You were just washing up."
"Then you should ask me too." She frowned slightly, her tone becoming somewhat dissatisfied.
"How badly is your injury? Why are you still going to class?" Xing Ze straightened up and glared at her. "Don't you want your foot to heal?"
She shrank further under the covers and shouted, "Why are you being so fierce? You're being fierce to me again!"
Xing Ze sat back down next to her, touched a small, slightly scabbed scratch on her face, and sighed softly, "I wasn't mean to you."
"Your ankle will need at least a month to heal, and these injuries on your body won't heal easily either. You need to rest, otherwise it will become a chronic condition."
His voice was low, with a hint of helplessness and indulgence in his tone.
Mu Tingyu puffed out her cheeks, still a little unhappy: "Then next time you should ask me first, don't make decisions for me without my permission."
“If I asked you, you would definitely say you were going,” Xing Ze said. “The village isn’t paying you, so why are you working so hard?”
"It's not about the salary; the children are waiting for me to go to class."
"What's Zhuang Ren good for? Can't he teach?"
"..." Mu Tingyu accused him, "Here we go again. You always change your tone and become fierce while you're talking, and then you say you weren't being fierce to me."
"......"
Xing Ze looked at her for two seconds, then leaned down and kissed her: "You're so delicate."
Mu Tingyu tried to dodge, but couldn't. While being kissed, she still insisted on speaking in a muffled voice: "You, you must ask me next time... before, before making a decision."
Xing Ze breathed deeply and gave a soft "hmm".
"How long did it take?"
"......"
Xing Ze didn't answer, but instead pinched her waist and kissed her deeply.
Mu Tingyu felt a soreness in her mouth and her mind went blank. She wanted to ask again, but her mouth was covered and she couldn't move. She could only tilt her head back to respond.
About ten minutes later, Xing Ze finally got up and wiped away the clear liquid that had overflowed from the corner of her mouth.
He said something vague.
"Wait until you recover from your injury."
-
Mu Tingyu's recovery ability is at the super strong level.
A few days later, most of the abrasions on her body had scabbed over and started to itch.
Her hands were always idle, and she couldn't help but pick at them. Whenever Xing Ze saw her picking at her hands, he would slap her palms.
If she cries out in pain, she will quickly receive an extra kiss, and then she will be hit again the next time she is scratched, and so on, with little effect whatsoever.
She applied ice to her ankle on the first day after the fall, so it didn't hurt too much. But the next day, as soon as she woke up, it started to swell and hurt right on time. It felt like the ligaments and bones around her were filled with water, and it was swollen, sore, and very uncomfortable.
She had no energy to run and jump around, and lay paralyzed like a septuagenarian for a whole day.
Xing Ze changed her ointment and bandages, and then cooked some light porridge for her.
To punish her for running off to the mountains without a word, she has been forced to stay on the third floor for the past few days, not allowed to move an inch or go downstairs at will, under the pretext of "rest and recuperation."
Xing Ze would bring her food three times a day, watch her eat it all, and then take the plate away.
She once tried to sneak downstairs with her crutches, but before she could take two steps, the man, as if he could hear her clearly, carried her all the way from the kitchen back to her room.
I was scolded for this several times.
Later, her activity area was limited to his room and balcony.
The children who came to visit her could only stand downstairs and look at her from afar, sending messages across the distance.
Sometimes the children come together, and sometimes they come one by one. Shi Tou and his mother have come several times, while Yu Li comes every day.
That night at the hospital, she didn't know what Xing Ze said to her, but later Yu Li pulled her aside and solemnly apologized, saying that he would definitely study hard and would no longer think about running away from home.
Mu Tingyu didn't really think anything of it, but she was still very happy to hear him say such a thing.
After all, this child is quite thoughtful. Although his family's education of him has gone astray, he can prevent others from going astray, so she feels that suffering this injury is still meaningful.
But she doesn't have time to think about these things now. She's currently engaged in a battle of wits with Xing Ze every day, pestering him to let her go downstairs for a while.
Yes, it's just for fresh air.
Because her beloved little phone has not yet been returned to her, she is completely cut off from the outside world.
She asked Xing Ze, and he would always kiss her and coax her, saying that he was going to town to buy things in a couple of days and they could go together. But two days passed and then another two days, and she still hadn't seen him leave the house.
She slammed her fist on the table in anger, wanting to continue protesting against this appalling act of locking her on the third floor. What difference was there between her and a caged canary?
Before the uprising even began, he was stuffed with a mouthful of steamed egg custard.
Xing Ze now even has to feed her.
The steamed egg custard was smooth and tender, sprinkled with chopped green onions, drizzled with a little seafood soy sauce, and interspersed with small dried shrimp, making it both fresh and fragrant.
She chewed for a bit, then couldn't help but say, "One more bite."
Xing Ze smiled slightly and fed her another bite.
After being forced to rest for more than a week, her ankle was no longer so painful. Although she had never dared to put her foot down under Xing Ze's constant instructions, she felt that she could walk briskly on the ground again.
A mere sprained ankle, could that stop her?
The day before yesterday, Xiao Ping, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, brought two jars of wine to bribe Xing Ze. He finally succeeded in getting permission to come upstairs to see her, and also brought her some snacks—hawthorn strips, dried mango, and shrimp chips—to satisfy her cravings.
Xing Ze adheres to the belief that one should eat a light diet when injured, so these days she has only cooked boiled or steamed dishes, adding at most a little seasoning to enhance the flavor. Her mouth is so bland it's almost unbearable.
They chattered for a while. Xiao Ping said that her family was preparing to harvest rice. Mu Tingyu was extremely disappointed, knowing that Xing Ze would definitely not let her go out in this state.
That evening she went to ask, and sure enough, she got the answer that it wouldn't work.
She was angry and deliberately provoked him by snuggling into his arms and rubbing against him, eventually being pinned down and kissed until she was dizzy.
After kissing Xing Ze, she went to the bathroom.
He went into the bathroom almost every night these days. Mu Tingyu knew he was taking a cold shower. While eavesdropping at the door every day, she also had some doubts in her mind.
Xing Ze now only kisses her and touches her neck and waist; he hardly touches any other part of her. He only touches her when he picks her up, sometimes around her legs, or occasionally he might accidentally brush against her, but even then, it's a fleeting touch.
She truly lived up to her reputation as a female hooligan, having touched almost all of his chest and abdominal muscles these past few days, as if she were addicted. Whenever she touched him, her hands would involuntarily move upwards.
Xing Ze seemed quite troubled by this, but he couldn't control her.
She thought Xing Ze probably didn't dare to cause trouble because she was injured, after all, she had been raiding him every night for the past few days, almost making him suffer terribly.
Mu Tingyu is very open-minded in this regard. After all, she feels that it's not easy to like someone, and since it's a mutual thing, it's normal to do things you like.
But her previous state of being so careful that she had to be extremely cautious even with the slightest touch made it quite inconvenient for her to do anything.
She stayed upstairs quietly for more than a week before finally being allowed to come down to the first floor, which meant that Xing Ze approved of her physical recovery.
So she began to think day and night about... her grand plan to seduce him.
