The fiery red sun gradually set, and the orange sunset slowly climbed up the horizon.
Lin Mo lowered his eyes, his gaze slowly moving down Su Mu's flushed face to her neck with a slightly protruding Adam's apple.
He was more than a head taller than Su Mu. When Su Mu raised his face with great effort, his jaw would form a distinct arc. As long as Lin Mo lowered his eyes slightly, he could clearly see the tender white under the collar.
He somehow touched the Adam's apple that was protruding from the tilted head. The skin in his palm was warm and flexible, and the sound of the Adam's apple gurgling up and down when he swallowed made his fingertips tremble.
Lin Mo's eyes were a little dim, and he felt Su Mu's skin getting hotter and hotter. He took a breath, tried hard to restrain himself, and focused on applying medicine to Su Mu again.
His eyes fell on Su Mu's face again, and he saw that Su Mu looked defenseless and a little lazy, like a highly alert kitten finally revealing its soft belly for people to rub.
"Okay, the ointment is all applied. Are you feeling better?"
Lin Mo's voice was low and hoarse, with a strong desire. Then Su Mu knew nothing. His whole mind was hazy now. Being so close to Lin Mo, his whole nerves stayed on Lin Mo's big and hot hand.
"What's wrong? Your forehead is sweating. Is it hot?" Lin Mo lowered his voice, deliberately lowered his head, and breathed into Su Mu's ear.
The string in Su Mu's head was about to break, and he took two steps back.
"I'm feeling much better now. My face doesn't hurt anymore. The weather is a bit hot... I have to get busy!"
"Don't worry, A-Mo Lu and the others are going to cook. You've been working hard these past few days, so take a rest first."
"Okay, then I'll go get you some water. I see your forehead is sweating, so you must be a little hot." Su Mu's face was tense, his voice was a little flustered, and his swollen face became even redder. He just wanted to get away from Lin Mo as soon as possible. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that he would faint from shame on the spot.
"Ahem...it's a little hot, so please, Mumu, pour me some water."
Lin Mo was extremely embarrassed. He had wanted to tease Su Mu, but he was teased back.
He's not hot at all, it's clearly the anger from below that's rising up!
"Alright, alright. You two, that's enough. It's almost dark. Come and have dinner quickly. We need to boil water for washing up later."
As soon as Lin Sheng finished applying medicine to Lin Wen, he saw Lin Mo teasing Su Mu again and glared at Lin Mo with anger.
After Su Mu returned to the house, he lowered his voice and said, "Don't bully Mu Mu in broad daylight. This child has been shy since he was young and has not had much contact with others. Be careful not to make him angry."
In front of others, Lin Mo never hesitated to get along with Su Mu, and he did not restrain his intimate actions and sweet words.
His love for Su Mu is expressed all the time. Although they are used to it, they still can't bear to see it.
Lin Mo nodded in deep agreement.
When Lin Sheng turned around, he suddenly said, "Brother is right. From now on, I will find a secluded place, not in the daytime."
Lin Sheng: “…”
Is this what he meant?
Time was tight tonight, and Lin Sheng had wanted to cook a good meal to entertain the newly arrived Lao Gu family, but before he could even start, Lu A'mo grabbed the pots and pans and started busying herself.
He wanted to help several times, but was always dismissed by Lu A'mo with a sentence, "I am a servant bought by the Third Master. How can we let our master cook for us?"
"Brother, stop working and let A'mo Lu cook. It's a good opportunity for you to try A'mo Lu's cooking skills." Lin Mo shouted towards the kitchen.
During this period of time, Lu Amo had been eating and sleeping in the inn in the town. He had always wanted to find an opportunity to show his abilities, but the shop had not been renovated yet, which made him always worried that Lin Mo would send him away.
This time when he returned to the Lin family, he naturally started to work familiarly. He was used to reading people's expressions since he was a child. He knew that Lin Sheng and the others were simple, kind and honest people, so he was embarrassed to order them to do work.
So he couldn't be polite or reserved, and he quickly went into the kitchen and started cooking.
The three members of the family were busy with their own things. When the sun set and the orange sunset glow filled the sky, the delicious meals were served on the table one after another.
"Amo Lu has good cooking skills. With you helping in the kitchen, Mumu's life will be much easier!" Lin Mo tried a bite and praised her immediately.
After all, A'mo Lu works in the kitchen of a wealthy family. When she cooks, she uses more substantial ingredients and adds just the right amount of oil, water, and seasonings. Her food tastes much better than what Lin Sheng and the others cook.
Although the family's conditions are better now, Lin Sheng and his family have suffered for too many years, and it is difficult to change their frugal habits.
The oil and water from cooking were almost invisible, and it was only after Lin Momian reminded him several times that the situation improved.
Today's dishes are all home-cooked dishes that Lu A'mo is good at making. Because he wants to show off his cooking skills in front of his new owner, he is particularly careful when cooking.
After the food was served, Lin Mo and his companions took their seats, while Lao Gu's family stood aside stiffly. There were quite a few people in the Lin family to begin with, and the small square table was considered full of people.
They had eaten at the same table with Lin Mo before because they were in the inn, but now that they were at Lin's house and there were so many people around, they knew the situation and didn't sit down.
"What's wrong? Why are you all standing? Sit down and eat together." Lin Mo asked in confusion.
Lin Wu, holding the bowl, also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, come on, I still have room here, let's squeeze in."
Lao Gu waved his hands repeatedly, "How can we eat with the host family? We had no choice but to eat at the inn before. It will be the same if we eat after you have finished eating."
Lu Amo also nodded repeatedly. They were just lowly slaves. Being able to have a full meal was a blessing. They should be on equal footing with their master.
Lin Sheng pulled Lu Amo over and said softly, "Although you were bought by Amo, we are not a wealthy family and don't have so many rules. Just sit down and eat with us."
"this……"
The husband and wife subconsciously looked at Lin Mo. Although everyone in the Lin family was considered their master, Lin Mo was the one who bought them, so they subconsciously put Lin Mo first.
Before Lin Mo could respond, Lin Wen had already pulled Tuanzi to sit down and handed him a large white flour steamed bun. "Tuanzi, let's eat together. This is a white flour steamed bun. It's my favorite. It's sweet. You should try it too!"
Tuanzi, who was suddenly stuffed with a big steamed bun, could only open his mouth and bite it subconsciously. With his dull eyes and helpless expression, he looked a bit cute.
Lin Mo immediately said, "Let's all sit down and eat. There aren't so many rules at home."
With Lin Mo's words, the couple finally sat down at the dinner table with peace of mind, and at the same time they felt more and more moved.
