After explaining the matter to Lin Wu, Lin Mo turned around and went to another place in the back mountain.
When the original owner was deceived by the village ruffian Lai Gouzi into doing petty theft, he remembered that Uncle Lin's most beloved youngest son was among them.
Since this family has nothing to do all day and comes back to our house, it's only right to find something for them to do.
Lin Mo smiled evilly, followed the route in the original owner's memory, and went around in circles to find Lai Gouzi's house.
Su Mu on this side stared blankly at the empty courtyard. After Lin Mo left, the house seemed to be empty. He scratched his head. He had never been with Lin Mo every day before, so why did he feel so confused and lonely now?
He shook his head, took the broom and swept the yard again, then carried the dirty clothes that the family had taken off to the well to wash them. After washing the clothes, he carried a few loads of water in wooden buckets.
The midday sun was scorching hot, the sky was azure and vast, and the thin clouds passed by like mist.
Su Mu was like a little bee, busy with this and that, never having a moment's rest. When Lin Mo came back, he saw the clothes drying in the yard, the newly turned soil in the backyard, and even the vegetables planted before had been watered.
He looked around but couldn't find Su Mu in the house. When he was about to go out to look for her, he saw Su Mu's small body carrying two wooden buckets of water and walking back steadily.
"I've only been out for a while, and you're already exhausting yourself. Every day it just makes me sad."
Lin Mo's eyes were filled with heartache. He took a few steps forward, holding a bucket of water in each hand, and directly picked up the two buckets of water and put them back in the yard.
He was a little annoyed and couldn't help but raise his voice and said, "Didn't I tell you not to do these chores? Your wounds have just healed, can't you just stay in the house?"
Su Mu was stunned. It was the first time he heard Lin Mo speak to him so loudly. He subconsciously looked up at Lin Mo and saw that the other party had a bad face and seemed to be angry.
He froze in place, bewildered, his clenched fists tightening and tightening, his voice trembling as he said, "I'm...I'm sorry, I just wanted to help with the work."
Life in the Lin family is so wonderful. He just wants to work harder and do more things within his ability so that he won't feel useless. He also wants to be a useful person so that Lin Mo... won't despise him too much.
"Stupid wood."
Lin Mo sighed, lifted his sleeves and wiped the sweat off Su Mu's head. He was not angry, he was just heartbroken.
A skinny little figure was carrying two large buckets full of water, his back was bent but he was still gritting his teeth to hold on. How could he bear to see this? He wished Su Mu would do nothing and just be spoiled.
"Lin Mo, I...I was wrong, please don't be angry."
A dry and hoarse voice sounded cautiously. Lin Mo lowered his head and met the pair of frightened and pitiful deer eyes. The inorganic pupils were shimmering with ripples in the sunlight, and they went straight into Lin Mo's heart.
He couldn't help but pinch the other's blushing face and said softly, "How could I bear to be angry with you? I'm just afraid that you'll be exhausted. Don't do these things in the future. There are many people at home, so let Lao Gu and others do these things like carrying water and washing clothes."
Lin Mo suddenly leaned forward, lowered his voice, and said with a hint of pampering and temptation: "Just be my little husband obediently, don't be so uneasy, even if you do nothing, I still love you the most."
Lin Mo stared at Su Mu quietly, then suddenly raised his wrist, and used his slender white thumb and index finger to hook Su Mu's chin, allowing Su Mu to look at him more directly.
The force on the chin was not strong, but it held Su Mu tightly. At this distance, his and Lin Mo's breathing were intertwined.
Su Mu's body was stiff and straight, his heart was beating irregularly. When their eyes met, he dodged in panic, but as soon as he moved, he was clamped by Lin Mo again.
“Wo… Wo… Wo…”
Su Mu stammered and couldn't even pronounce the words clearly. He even bit his tongue out of nervousness. His legs were so weak that he could hardly stand. His face was extremely red. He didn't dare to look at Lin Mo's face at all, and could only look left and right.
"Little Wood, can I kiss you?"
Lin Mo licked his lips and looked at Su Mu's autumn-water eyes reflecting a thin layer of water light. Under the sunlight, they were shining with an alluring luster, sparkling and particularly attractive.
Su Mu was completely stunned. He could hear everything Lin Mo said clearly, but his mind was filled with the hot air exhaled from Lin Mo's mouth and his own heart beating as if it was about to burst out of his chest.
A hint of success flashed across Lin Mo's lowered eyes. Looking at Su Mu's red ears, he gently moved his big hand forward and his lips fell reverently and carefully on Su Mu's forehead.
The warm and soft touch was fleeting, like a drop of water falling into the sea, causing turbulent ripples in Su Mu's heart.
His mind went blank, his pupils dilated, his ears suddenly turned red, and he suddenly pushed Lin Mo away.
Lin Mo kissed him! Lin Mo actually kissed him!
It was still in the yard, in broad daylight, and any passerby could see what they looked like just now!
Su Mu covered his forehead with one hand, looked at Lin Mo in panic, then looked outside the yard hurriedly, and finally looked at Lin Mo who was pushed to the ground by him.
"Lin...Lin Mo, I...I'm going to the river to check the fishing nets!"
He stammered out a few words, his face flushed red, and he ran out in a panic.
Looking at Su Mu's back as he almost ran for his life, Lin Mo couldn't help but burst out laughing, and he touched the corner of his mouth.
Recalling the softness I felt just now, I couldn't help but lick my lips.
I finally kissed the little guy I had been longing for, even though it was just the forehead, but it was already a great achievement. As long as I keep working hard, one day, I will definitely be able to do it!
He stood up swiftly, dusted himself off, and muttered, "The little guy may not be big, but he's quite strong. This fall must have hurt quite a bit."
Lin Mo was not in a hurry. He slowly poured the two buckets of water that Su Mu brought back into the water tank, put a few pieces of sugar in the cold tea, filled a bamboo tube with it, and then carried the empty bucket to the place where he had set the net in the morning.
The heat in the air faded a lot. Lin Mo thought of Su Mu's shy and flustered look, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips. He didn't know how shy the little guy would be when they met soon.
On this side, Su Mu covered his forehead and stared blankly at the gurgling river. His mind was in a mess, and all he could think of was the image of Lin Mo kissing him.
He didn't know how long he stood there before he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He covered his chest with his hands and couldn't help but laugh foolishly.
Lin Mo was the first person to say she wanted to marry him, and the first person to kiss him.
Now that he has left the Su family... maybe, maybe he can really be Lin Mo's husband.
