Soon, the two reached the bedside. Clothes fluttered everywhere, and Lin Xue reminded Mo Yuan to turn off the kerosene lamp. Mo Yuan had originally hoped for a little romance, but seeing Lin Xue's shy expression, he could only obediently listen and extinguish the lamp.
In the darkness, their bodies intertwined, passionate and inseparable.
After a night, the next morning, as sunlight streamed through the window and fell upon them, they slowly awoke.
Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a warm glow on his face. Mo Yuan squinted, savoring the warmth, and guessed that the sun must be high in the sky. Remembering that he had important matters to attend to that day, he quickly got up and hurriedly dressed.
His gaze shifted to the bed, where Lin Xue lay still peacefully, fast asleep like a lazy cat. Mo Yuan felt a pang of pity and didn't want to wake her, wanting her to sleep a little longer. However, the sound of him dressing broke the tranquility, and Lin Xue sat up abruptly like a startled rabbit.
Mo Yuan stared in astonishment at the scene before him. Lin Xue, like a panicked kitten, frantically searched for her clothes. Mo Yuan couldn't help but stare at her, his eyes filled with curiosity and desire, as if he wanted to devour her. Lin Xue gave him a playful glare, quickly put on her shirt, and only then did Mo Yuan reluctantly withdraw his gaze.
Lin Xue grumbled as she hurriedly jumped out of bed, ready to wash up and rush to work. Seeing her so anxious, Mo Yuan quickly comforted her, "Oh, it's okay if you're a little late for work. No one will blame you for it. Why don't you have breakfast with me first, and then go to work?" With that, he hugged Lin Xue tightly and persuaded her to stay in a doting tone.
Lin Xue's job, simply put, is to record data every day, which is very easy.
In reality, whether she comes to work in the morning or not doesn't really matter, but this young woman is very responsible and always worries that people will gossip and think she got this good job because of Mo Yuan's connections. Therefore, she always strives for perfection, diligently arriving and leaving get off work on time every day, and keeping very detailed records.
I estimate that even Teacher Yan and his colleagues would be impressed if they saw these records, and might even use them as models.
Hearing Mo Yuan's words and feeling his concern, Lin Xue couldn't help but nod, and for the first time ever, she decided to make an exception: "Okay, then I'll have breakfast with you. There should still be some leftover rice in the pot. Is there anything else you'd like to eat? I'll go make you something."
However, recalling the passion they had shared the previous night, Lin Xue felt incredibly embarrassed. She lowered her head, trying to hide her awkwardness, and turned to leave. Just then, Mo Yuan grabbed her hand, stopping her from continuing to cook, and told her there were leftovers in the pot and she could just eat some.
Just as the two were about to leave, they unexpectedly saw Yu Xiue standing at the door with an unfriendly expression.
Yu Xiu'e sat in the courtyard, her face gloomy, her cheeks puffed out as if they held a balloon about to burst. Meanwhile, the young couple were chatting and laughing, their laughter as clear and melodious as silver bells. Suddenly, their laughter abruptly stopped, as if an invisible hand had choked them.
"Mother, you... what are you doing here?" Mo Yuan's eyes widened in astonishment. He had thought it was already late morning and everyone was busy with their own things, but he never expected to run into Yu Xiu'e like this. What surprised him even more was that Yu Xiu'e seemed to have been waiting for him there on purpose, which gave Mo Yuan a bad feeling.
Even Mo Yuan, who was thick-skinned enough, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Lin Xue was even more ashamed; her face was as red as a ripe apple, and she wished she could disappear into the ground immediately. "Mother, Mother, have you eaten? I'll go to the kitchen to get you some food!" Lin Xue said as she rushed to the kitchen without even looking back.
After running to the kitchen, Lin Xue realized she had just said something pointless. Who hadn't eaten by now? Oh dear, how embarrassing! Lin Xue was filled with remorse as she looked for food, hoping she and Mo Yuan could just grab something to eat to fill their stomachs.
Mo Yuan looked at Yu Xiu'e with a helpless expression and asked cautiously, "Mother, what are you doing here?" These words were like a bomb, instantly igniting Yu Xiu'e's anger.
