Qin Yin listened as the little girl poured out all her feelings over the past few days.
But when he heard Li Mu say that he might have fallen in love with him, he felt his heart race and his Adam's apple bob up and down.
"Little girl, how could you test an old comrade like that?" Qin Yin interrupted with a smile.
Li Mu looked directly at Qin Yin.
Uncle Qin, I'm not kidding, really.
Just as Li Mu was about to say something, Qin Yin interrupted him.
Qin Yin placed his hands on Li Mu's shoulders, looked into the little girl's eyes, and said, word by word.
Listen, I was the one who fell for you first, so I should be the one confessing. I won't allow you to say these words.
Li Mu was stunned, staring blankly at the man in front of her, speechless for a long time.
As soon as he said it, Qin Yin froze, wondering if he had hurt the little girl by gripping her shoulder so tightly.
He quickly removed his hand from the little girl's shoulder.
I, Qin Yin, hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping myself.
Uncle Qin, is everything you just said true?
Yes, it's all true. Qin Yin didn't dare to look at the little girl.
So this is what a two-way journey is all about?
Qin Yin raised his head and asked, "Don't you really mind that I'm old?"
Uncle Qin, you don't look old at all, you look like you're in your twenties.
Qin Yin gave a wry smile. "Little girl, I've rehearsed the scene of confessing my feelings to you countless times."
I never expected that you would be the one to bring it up first. How could you possibly want to tell me something like this?
Uncle Qin, your thinking is a bit old-fashioned. Anyone can say what to do, as long as the other party agrees.
But I am, after all, a man, and a man more than ten years older than you. I didn't even give you a ceremony.
Uncle Qin, didn't I already give it to you?
Qin Yin looked at Li Mu with a puzzled expression.
Uncle Qin, the Wang Group, this is the best gift for me.
No, that's not good enough. I still need to give you a ceremony. I, Qin Yin, will only confess my feelings once in my life. Whether it's you or me, I want to make sure it's unforgettable for the rest of my life.
So, has Uncle Qin accepted my confession?
I guess I've accepted it, but I still need to formally confess my feelings about the operands.
Uncle Qin, would you call this male chauvinism? But I like this kind of male chauvinism and wholeheartedly support it, Li Mu added.
Okay, I'll keep trying!
Uncle Qin, are we a couple now?
Yeah, don't you think so?
Of course.
But Uncle Qin.
Um?
We're a couple now, you won't bully me, will you?
Don't worry, I will never bully you. I will only take you to the most beautiful places, give you the warmest home, and make you happy every day.
After hearing this, Li Mu suddenly threw herself into Qin Yin's arms.
Qin Yin was stunned. Even though he had agreed to date the girl, he hadn't expected to have physical contact so soon.
But this hug was so heartwarming, it was truly delightful.
After a long while, Qin Yin gently pushed the little girl away and found that she had fallen asleep without him noticing. She was sleeping soundly with the corners of her mouth turned up and her eyes smiling. Was she smiling for him?
Qin Yin hugged him tighter, seemingly still unable to believe that the two of them had started dating so simply.
I picked up the little girl and carried her to my bed for the second time, covering her with a blanket.
Looking at the little girl sleeping soundly in his bed, this was the first person in many years he wanted to try spending the rest of his life with.
This time, Qin Yin seemed to be a little bolder. He leaned down and gently kissed Li Mu's forehead, a simple action he performed with great care.
Just like yesterday, Qin Yin lay down on his side next to the little girl again.
*Smack*
Li Mu turned around and slapped Qin Yin on the waist.
Qin Yin was caught off guard and his body trembled when he was hit. Besides that spot, his waist was one of the most sensitive parts of Qin Yin's body.
Qin Yin felt somewhat helpless. He picked up the slender hand that had hit his waist and planted a kiss on it.
He leaned against the bed, holding the little girl to prevent her from moving around again, and then fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Li Mu opened his eyes to sunlight streaming in. It was the first time he had ever slept so soundly, peacefully, and comfortably.
Feeling a bit thirsty, Li Mu thought of pouring herself a glass of water when she saw Uncle Qin and noticed the decorating style.
Oh my god, am I sleeping at Uncle Qin's house again?
Huh? No, I confessed my feelings yesterday.
Uncle Qin promised yesterday.
Sensing the person beside him move, Qin Yin opened his eyes.
Looking at the little girl who had already sat up with a blank expression, Qin Yin smiled, took Li Mu's hand, and kissed the back of her hand.
Uncle Qin, do you know what it means to carry someone on your back with your own hands?
Qin Yin knew what it meant, but he refused to say it and shook his head.
I don't know, but it seems you do. Come on, tell me. Kissing the back of the hand conveys a gentlemanly demeanor, a message of protection and care, indicating that one person is willing to provide safety and security for another.
This kiss also embodies an ancient romanticism; when people appreciate and contemplate this kiss, they think of a sense of elegance and nobility.
In today's fast-paced world, this kind of slow-paced romanticism is very rare.
My little girl is so knowledgeable, she knows everything.
Li Mu was furious when she heard this. "Uncle Qin, did you know? You're so annoying. You know, why did I have to tell you?"
"If you just nod or tell me you know, I don't need to say all this," Li Mu said, somewhat annoyed.
Qin Yin smiled, lowered his head, took the little girl's hand, and kissed it.
I surrender. I know, of course I know, but I wanted you to say it. What I mean is, I want to give more. Believe me, I will cherish you and protect you for the rest of my life, give you a safe environment, and let you live a happy life.
Li Mu, who was initially slightly angry, blushed instantly upon hearing these unexpected sweet words and lowered her head, not daring to look up.
Qin Yin changed the subject, saying, "You went to bed too early yesterday. You must be hungry when you woke up. I asked someone to bring you food yesterday, and it should be here soon."
"Take a break, I'm going to wash up first," she said, getting up and going into the bathroom.
"Wait a minute? Wait for what? I can go home and wash up right now. I really don't understand," Li Mu thought to himself.
Little girl, you can get up and wash up now.
Li Mu nodded. "Okay, I'll go back and wash up, and I'll come over in a bit."
Seeing the little girl about to leave, Qin Yin grabbed her arm and said, "Who said you were going back to wash up?"
With that, Qin Yin pushed Li Mu into the bathroom.
Li Mu was still dazed when she was forcibly pushed in. She saw pink cups, pink toothbrushes, pink towels, and even pink toothpaste on the toothbrushes on the sink.
Seeing a bunch of pink standing out strangely against the black, white, and gray decor, Li Mu rolled her eyes and began washing up with a sense of helplessness.
