Ji Muhan's eyes turned slightly cold. "Why did you come here?"
The little girl's naive and innocent demeanor always made him unconsciously a little worried, and he would often forget that she had learned self-defense techniques...
However, just thinking about how she had come all this way alone at such a late hour stirred up a subtle, almost imperceptible emotion within him.
I'm furious, absolutely furious. She doesn't know how to take care of herself; she just does whatever comes to mind...
Her eyes crinkled into a smile as she replied confidently, "I came all this way just to keep you company on New Year's Eve! Didn't I tell you, I missed you, I really, really wanted to see you, so..."
After saying that, she rubbed her chest against his chest with a particularly self-righteous air, and added, "I rushed over here without stopping."
The little girl's soft, sweet voice was even more so than usual.
The pent-up anger in Ji Muhan's heart instantly dissipated. He couldn't quite describe how he felt, only that after hearing her words, his heart felt completely filled...
When his fingertips inadvertently touched the little girl's cheek, the slightly warm temperature seemed to carry a current from his fingertips into his heart.
Especially warm…
He paused for a few seconds, then continued the action that had been stopped, pushing her out of his arms.
Seeing her trying to get closer again, he immediately glanced at her and said in his usual cold and indifferent voice, "Stand still."
This little girl always seems so spineless!
Seeing the subtle change in his expression, Mo Xiaoqing was very happy, and her smile grew brighter and brighter.
"I've also prepared a special gift. Aren't you excited?"
Ji Muhan looked at Mo Xiaoqing's big, clear black and white eyes, which were staring straight at him, as if the words "You're curious, aren't you?" were written in her eyes.
He swallowed the words that were already on the tip of his tongue and, following her lead, asked, "What gift?"
Mo Xiaoqing raised her chin, giving off an expression that said, "I knew you'd be curious," displaying a smug and arrogant demeanor.
"Clang clang clang".
Ji Muhan couldn't help but laugh as she watched her pull a deck of cards from the large pocket of her down jacket.
So? This is the gift she was talking about…
She really is... just as unique as she is!
It's both funny and sad...
Mo Xiaoqing was completely unaware of how inadequate her gift, which wasn't really a gift, was. She said with great enthusiasm, "Look, I even went out of my way to buy a deck of cards. We can play all night tonight!"
Ji Muhan paused for a moment, "..."
Can he not have it?
Mo Xiaoqing tiptoed, her pretty face suddenly close to his, her forehead touching his chin, and softly asked, "Did you miss me?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Muhan immediately coughed lightly and stepped aside to let her in.
Instead of answering her question, he told her, "Let's go inside and talk about it."
He was worried that the little girl might not be able to handle the temperature while they were talking in the doorway, and also…
"No, you haven't answered my question." Mo Xiaoqing stared at him relentlessly, her unwavering gaze telling him that she wouldn't go in unless he answered!
Ji Muhan always avoids her topics like this, but today she's determined to force the truth out of him!
If it were the old Ji Muhan, she would have calmly replied to her, "Whatever."
But now—
He really couldn't bring himself to be cruel to her, especially with her intensely inquisitive eyes; he felt even more helpless!
Before she could even speak, he had already surrendered…
Ji Muhan responded somewhat awkwardly, glancing away slightly, "Mm."
Mo Xiaoqing naturally didn't miss his little trick. She felt smug and was so happy she wanted to jump for joy.
But how wicked that little fox is!
Even though she had already gotten the answer she wanted, she still wouldn't let go of him.
Mo Xiaoqing's large, clear eyes darted around, and she curled her lips into a mischievous smile, deliberately drawing out her words, "Hmm what? I can't hear who you like?"
Ji Muhan, “…” Fine, if you can’t hear me, then so be it!
Mo Xiaoqing immediately saw the subtext in his eyes, looked at him with a wronged expression, and accused him in a soft voice, "You haven't even said it, how am I supposed to know who you like?"
Ji Muhan's eyes were slightly cool, and a hint of darkness welled up in them. Her voice was low and deep, "...Don't go too far, okay?"
Hearing his strongly warning "hmm," with its slightly rising lilt at the end, Mo Xiaoqing's heart involuntarily trembled. Yet, she couldn't resist taking advantage of his kindness and said with a bright smile, "So what if I went too far? What are you going to do about it?"
