Chapter 437 The Foodie Male Lead 25 Mo Chen looked down at his fingers that had just touched the pig, as if the strange, soft sensation still lingered on them.
Zi Xi was taken aback when she saw his trembling hands, as if facing a formidable enemy. Then she couldn't help but burst out laughing, laughing more and more until she could barely straighten up.
"Hahahaha! You...you're really that serious! It's just touching a piglet! Look how scared you are! It's not like it'll bite you!"
"I never expected that the mighty Amo would be afraid of a little piglet! Hahaha!"
She laughed so hard that tears almost came out.
Mo Chen looked at her laughing so hard she was shaking, and then felt the lingering soft touch on his fingertips, his expression became even more embarrassed.
"I...I'm not afraid, it's just that I've never been in contact with this kind of creature before, and I'm a little...afraid of hurting it..."
He tried to remain calm, cleared his throat, and forced an explanation.
However, his slightly reddened ears and his obviously trembling hands completely betrayed him.
Zi Xi finally stopped laughing, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and found his forced composure extremely amusing.
"Look, our chubby one is thick-skinned and not afraid of the weird uncle. I didn't expect that the weird uncle would be afraid of our cute chubby one."
She deliberately reached out and touched Fatty again, looking at him provocatively.
Mo Chen watched her interact intimately with the little pig, then looked at his own fingers that had just lost their composure.
An unprecedented tenderness spread through my heart.
This girl always manages to bring him unexpected shocks and surprises.
He gazed at the vibrant scene, then at Zi Xi beside him, her face beaming with smiles, and secretly made up his mind.
No matter how many secrets Xiaoxi is hiding, he will protect this special girl.
From the moment he touched the piglet's back, it seemed that he was destined to experience many down-to-earth troubles and joys.
Mo Chen's days on Green Star were peaceful and fulfilling. He was almost intoxicated by this leisurely life far from the center of power, surrounded only by the countryside and beautiful women.
However, the communication requests from the capital planet repeatedly tried to break the tranquility.
At first, Mo Chen was able to brush it off with some high-sounding reasons, such as on-site inspections.
But as time went on, the leader’s patience was clearly running out, and the frequency of communications increased, as did the tone of his voice.
He even sent an ultimatum through his personal guards, demanding that he return to the capital planet immediately to preside over the groundbreaking ceremony for an important military project.
"Tsk."
Mo Chen hung up the call again, his face full of impatience.
He was watching Zixi carefully watering a newly transplanted blueberry bush in the backyard.
That focused and beautiful profile made him feel that any political affairs seemed so dull and uninteresting.
"Is it your dad again?"
Zi Xi looked up and blinked when she saw his irritable expression.
"Um."
"They're urging me to go back again."
Mo Chen rubbed his temples.
"Shouldn't you go back now?"
Zi Xi put down the water ladle.
Although this guy became our neighbor uninvited and always seemed determined to stay.
During this time, she had someone to eat with and study crops with. Although it was mostly her studying while he watched, and they even bickered occasionally, she got used to his presence.
Mo Chen looked at her slightly pursed lips and a thought flashed through his mind.
He couldn't stay here doing nothing forever. Perhaps, with the pretty Xiaoxi's consent, he could send some things back home.
