Chapter 49 Feeling unwell? But I want to sleep. Su Jinmu sensed the boy...
The rain was pouring down. The two returned to their room and didn't discuss the topic again. They each took a shower and went back to bed to sleep.
It was pitch black outside, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, except for the occasional flash of lightning that briefly illuminated the sky and earth, accompanied by the rumble of thunder.
A cool, refreshing temperature spread.
In the room, the nightlight was off. Su Jinmu and Li Xin went to bed as usual, but Su Jinmu was held tightly in the boy's arms and couldn't move.
It's so hard to even turn over.
The person was completely fixed in place.
The boy continued to smile strangely, his lips curling upwards in an ambiguous manner, his grip tightening.
Su Jinmu: "..."
Su Jinmu pursed her lips, a faint, cotton-like tug at her heart.
Li Xin is too perceptive; he will definitely notice something is wrong, but... there is no other way to appease him.
As long as it doesn't affect his final plan, let him guess; he'll never be right anyway.
The two seemed to be doing as usual. Then, around four or five in the morning the next day, Su Jinmu suddenly woke up.
The rain outside had gradually subsided, pattering softly against the glass. The light was dim, and Su Jinmu, preoccupied with something, woke up early and opened her eyes.
He was lying on his side, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a boy's strong chest, an arm tightly wrapped around his waist, and his legs were also tangled up in a mess.
Li Xin was still unconscious, but the entanglement was too intense, and if he made any sudden movements, Li Xin would definitely wake up.
Su Jinmu's forehead twitched, she gently pursed her lips, and glanced at the sliver of daylight peeking through the edge of the curtains.
Not knowing what was going on in the greenhouse, he originally wanted to go to the glass greenhouse to check on the situation before everyone in the Su family woke up, so that after a night of rain, the soil would be soft and wet, and something that shouldn't be exposed might be revealed.
But right now, even if the Su family members haven't woken up, it won't work if Li Xin wakes up as soon as he gets up.
Given his personality, he will definitely follow along.
...But the situation below is unclear now.
Su Jinmu pursed her lips, lay still, feeling the warmth emanating from the boy's body, her long eyelashes drooping, her mind racing.
--monitor!
Su Jinmu suddenly thought of something, raised the corner of her eye, and her long eyelashes fluttered twice.
When the glass greenhouse was being renovated, he was at a seaside resort and installed surveillance cameras to keep track of the progress!
Su Jinmu smiled slightly, breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the boy in front of her who still had his eyes closed, and gently moved her arm.
The boy's arm was wrapped around his waist, but their arms didn't touch; there was only a slight friction on the blanket.
Suddenly, my waist and arms tightened, becoming firmly taut.
The boy's breathing was steady. He closed his eyes, pressed the other person closer to his chest, frowned slightly, and rubbed his hair. The two of them were almost completely pressed together.
Su Jinmu: "..."
Su Jinmu moved even more gently, reaching for the phone by the pillow and finally managing to retrieve it.
Fortunately, it wasn't placed too far away.
Unable to turn over, Su Jinmu's head was pressed against the boy's. She raised her hand, held her phone high above the boy's head, and used one hand to open the previously hidden monitoring software.
Su Jinmu's gaze was clear and sharp as she lifted her eyelashes to look at the screen.
The soil in the greenhouse was noticeably moist and darker in color, but thankfully—
The passage was very sturdy, without collapsing or revealing even the slightest bit of it.
Su Jinmu breathed softly and exited the software. He had been worried all night, fearing that his biggest secret would be exposed. Now he was finally relieved and wanted to breathe a sigh of relief.
As a result, his gaze swept downwards.
A pair of dark eyes were staring straight at him, seemingly smiling.
"?!?!"
Su Jinmu's heart skipped a beat, her head was throbbing with blood early in the morning, and her nerves suddenly tightened.
But she kept her composure, her expression calm, and casually put down her phone to meet the boy's gaze.
"woke up?"
"Um."
Li Xin glanced upwards; the young master's phone was directly above his head, out of his sight.
I don't know what the other person saw.
but……
Li Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, suddenly remembering that when they were at the seaside resort, the young master wouldn't let him look at his phone, and he became a little tense.
...There's a secret on that phone.
"Why are you awake so early?" Su Jinmu put down her phone and tucked her hands back under the covers.
Li Xin's lips curved slightly, crimson and gentle, with an eerie docility. "Young Master has also woken up."
Su Jinmu: "..."
Su Jinmu glanced at the daylight outside. "I don't know why I woke up. It's still early, I'll sleep a little longer."
He closed his eyes, rested his head on the boy's shoulder, and remained in that close position as he fell asleep again.
Li Xin's lips could touch Su Jinmu's hair. He leaned closer, his nose lightly touching hers, and smelled the light, sweet fragrance. His eyes darkened.
He gave a strange, upturned smile.
...Young Master.
secret.
.
I slept until mid-morning when the sky finally cleared up. After a downpour, the sky was a clear blue, and the temperature was neither as cold as it had been in the middle of the night, nor as scorching as it had been.
The temperature is very comfortable.
Su Jinmu invited Feng Yixing out. While Su Jinmu was washing up, Li Xin stood by the bed, glanced at the bathroom door, and slowly stretched out his arm.
Pick up your phone.
—It doesn't belong to him, but to the young master.
Li Xin's lips curled up slightly, his gaze fixed on her, and his fingertips flew as he unlocked the screen and scrolled through his phone.
Software, calls, messages, contacts, memos...
Rough fingertips slid rapidly.
However... it doesn't feel out of place at all.
The darkness in Li Xin's eyes deepened, but instead a chillingly beautiful smile appeared on his face, a gentle, eerie laugh.
It's hidden.
Young master.
Young master...
Li Xin held his phone, his eyes dark and unfathomable, strange and profound.
The more it's hidden, the more complex it becomes.
The sound of running water filled the bathroom. Su Jinmu turned on the tap, glanced casually at the door, and quickly looked away.
The weather was nice, so Su Jinmu and Feng Yixing went out for a get-together. Li Xin felt uneasy and had someone check all of Su Jinmu's recent schedules, repeatedly verifying and pondering them.
The young master hasn't been busy with anything lately; he's just been changing the soil for the potted plants in the greenhouse.
...greenhouse.
Li Xin lowered his eyes, tilted his head, and quickly went downstairs to the greenhouse.
The glass greenhouse door is usually unlocked, but it's open for ventilation right now because of the heavy rain last night.
Li Xin went straight in, his dark pupils scanning the surroundings, examining everything from the outside in.
After carefully examining every corner, I saw some soil that Su Jinmu had bought but hadn't had time to change, as well as some potted plants that had been repotted or not.
Li Xin took down a pot, turned over the leaves, and also turned over the soil at the base of the plant.
Nothing special.
There's nothing unique about it.
Li Xin frowned.
.
Feng Yixing was still immersed in the thrill after bungee jumping, feeling both excited and exhilarated, and wishing he could jump again.
But he knew that if he went a second time in a short period of time, the sensory experience would definitely be weaker than the first time, which would ruin the excitement of the first time.
Even the current excitement is hard to maintain, so I don't plan to go again anytime soon.
But he was also quite excited. Before going to sleep at night, he would close his eyes and feel as if he were standing on a high platform listening to the staff count down three, two, one, and then jumping down with a rope tied to him.
I'm so excited.
After thinking it over, he decided to take Su Jinmu to the amusement park.
"Jinmu, come with me, let's ride the roller coaster." Feng Yixing's eyes sparkled as she looked at Su Jinmu expectantly.
"I know you're not interested in amusement parks or anything like that, but come with me, please."
Feng Yixing's face was full of anticipation. He had previously wanted Su Jinmu to go with him, but Su Jinmu wasn't interested in amusement parks and didn't go. This time—
"OK."
Su Jinmu casually agreed.
"Hey Jinmu, just go, just go... okay?" Feng Yixing was caught off guard and stunned for a moment, "You agreed?!"
Su Jinmu: "..."
Su Jinmu smiled. "Hmm? Otherwise?"
Feng Yixing exclaimed in surprise, looking at him with a mixture of astonishment and delight, "Jinmu, why are you being so easy to talk to today?!"
Su Jinmu: "..."
He wasn't difficult to talk to before.
Su Jinmu casually tugged at the corners of her mouth, "The weather is nice, and I'm in a good mood."
"...?!"
Is it that good?
Feng Yixing was surprised, but didn't think too much about it.
The two checked the location, bought tickets, hailed a car on the roadside, and headed straight for the amusement park.
A dark car followed them quietly from behind.
There had just been a heavy rain, so there weren't many people, but the air was fresh, the environment was lively, and upbeat music was playing everywhere in the park.
Feng Yixing looked left and right, while Su Jinmu glanced around, her mood relatively relaxed. They quickly lined up in front of the roller coaster.
This project is fast-paced and exciting, and it's a perfect way to continue the fun from Feng Yixing's bungee jumping experience.
A few slow footsteps behind me.
Su Jinmu turned around and instinctively scanned the crowd a few times.
When he was a child, he was reluctant to go to amusement parks for some reason. At first, he didn't understand why. After getting in touch with the Xu family, he learned that it might be a sequela of being drugged and abducted.
Even if you forget it, your subconscious mind is still resisting it.
Su Jinmu looked around and saw that everyone there was a young person; there were no suspicious individuals.
...But there seems to be a suspicious ghost.
The place was large, and although there were many people, a tall and slender figure could be seen in the gaps between the crowds.
Su Jinmu: "..."
Across the crowd, their eyes met.
The boy on the other end had a deep, enigmatic gaze, and gave a docile, obedient smile, as if it were a chance encounter.
Su Jinmu: "..."
Su Jinmu twitched the corner of her mouth and waved to him.
The boy quickly approached, a slight smile playing on his lips. His dark gaze fell on the young master's face, and his voice was soft and gentle, "Young master, did you call me?"
...He acted as if he had just happened to be passing by and nothing had happened.
Su Jinmu smiled, slightly raised her chin, and nodded towards the entrance of the roller coaster in front of her. "Want to ride? If you want, let's line up together."
She nodded naturally in acquaintance with Li Xin, her lips curved into a smile, and she raised her hand, seemingly unintentionally brushing against the young master's wrist, her fingers stretching out and tightening their grip little by little.
Su Jinmu: "..."
After checking Su Jinmu's recent schedule, Li Xin couldn't see anything strange at first. Knowing that he and Feng Yixing had come to the amusement park, he followed them without much thought.
He needs to keep an eye on it, hold it tightly, and be close to it.
Only by achieving at least one thing can one feel even a little bit of satisfaction.
Li Xin's lips curled up slightly, and his fingers tightened little by little, making the grip even more secure.
Feng Yixing curiously observed the two of them; this was the third time he had encountered this person following Jin Mu.
Once she was chased away, and once she was discovered, Jin Mu kept her by his side.
This time, the stalker didn't even bother to hide; he stood right in the crowd.
They were even called over on their own initiative.
...His status has risen quite significantly.
Feng Yixing chuckled twice, but didn't gossip in person and obediently waited in line.
Soon it was their turn. The three of them sat in a row, with Su Jinmu in the middle. He sat down in the chair, his shoulders were lowered, and he was firmly fixed in place with nothing under his feet.
Feng Yixing swallowed, a sense of tension instantly rising within him.
She grabbed Su Jinmu's sleeve tightly, her expression pained, "Jinmu, I'm a little scared. The first row seems a bit too exciting."
Su Jinmu raised her eyebrows. "Don't worry, nothing is more exciting than bungee jumping. You've already done bungee jumping, so roller coasters will be no problem for you."
"Waaaaah!" Feng Yixing's heart was pounding, and she eagerly grabbed his hand. "Jinmu, you've been so nice to me these past two days. It's really touching."
Su Jinmu: "..."
Li Xin on the right raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were dark and his lips were slightly curved as he took Su Jinmu's other hand.
He glanced at Feng Yixing with an ambiguous expression.
"Ready to depart!"
As some cheerful music started playing, the roller coaster beneath us suddenly started moving, without any pause or hesitation, smoothly and rapidly accelerating for a distance.
Feng Yixing tensed up, withdrew his hand, and gripped the handle tightly with both hands. Su Jinmu's right hand was still held by the boy, who showed no sign of letting go.
The roller coaster began to slowly climb the slope, gradually approaching its peak. Su Jinmu twitched her wrist, and Li Xin instinctively tightened his grip.
The slender hand broke free, but instead of moving away, it pulled back and gripped Li Xin's hand.
Fingers inserted between the fingers, ten fingers interlaced, palms pressed together.
Li Xin fixed his gaze on Su Jinmu, glanced over, and then turned back to look at her.
When the roller coaster reached its peak, its speed dropped to almost zero, and then in an instant, it plummeted downwards.
"Aa ...
"Aa ...
The screams of the passengers rose and fell in waves.
The front row was directly facing the wind, and Su Jinmu squinted slightly as the wind blew, her lips suddenly curving into a smile.
Li Xin's breathing tightened slightly as he stared intently at the young master, his hands gripping tightly, his fingers clenched between them.
Young master.
Young master.
His young master.
Li Xin curved her lips into a smile.
Roller coasters are thrilling, but they can't compare to bungee jumping. Feng Yixing closed his eyes and shouted twice, but the people next to him didn't respond. He opened his eyes shakily and recalled the fall and bounce of the bungee jump.
It felt like a roller coaster... haha, nothing special.
"Haha, hahahahahaha!"
Feng Yixing laughed wildly twice, then plummeted down and tightly closed his eyes again, "Holy shit!"
Su Jinmu: "..."
Li Xin: "..."
After getting off the roller coaster, they strolled around the park. Feng Yixing then set his sights on the swaying Ferris wheel, and the group went up.
The three of them sat together as usual, with Li Xin and Su Jinmu sitting very close together. The turntable started, and the large plate they were sitting on immediately began to spin, swaying up and down.
Su Jinmu was light and wobbled a few times before losing her balance. An arm reached out from the side, wrapped around her waist, and gave her a little push.
"Hmm..."
Su Jinmu was caught off guard and moved to sit directly on the boy's lap.
Su Jinmu: "..."
Feng Yixing, who was just about to help Su Jinmu and pull each other along, was speechless.
Friends, couples are stomping on weaker opponents, that's really bad.
"...Ugh!"
The turntable suddenly lurched.
Su Jinmu groaned, his arms tightening around her waist. The boy pressed firmly against her back, his lips and teeth brushing against the back of her neck, gently licking it amidst the chaos.
It was damp and slightly cool.
Buried in the back of his neck, with a possessive urge, she licked and bit him slowly and tenderly, as if devouring him.
Su Jinmu: "..."
That damn thing.
Su Jinmu's lips curved into a smile.
.
Li Xin was quiet, and Su Jinmu thought he would behave himself for a few days. But not long after, Su Jinmu went to P's place.
Since my identity was revealed, I've been going to P's place less often, so this time it was a rare opportunity to go.
Li Xin was driving when he passed a large shopping mall. He stopped and said he would buy some desserts and snacks on the way.
The car was parked across the street. Su Jinmu vaguely felt that something was wrong. Before she could think about it, she was about to walk into the shopping mall when she unexpectedly bumped into someone coming out of the mall.
The Xu family, consisting of three people carrying fruits, vegetables, and several large bags of snacks, exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Su Jinmu, "Jinmu?! What brings you here?"
Su Jinmu: "..."
Su Jinmu turned to look at Li Xin, meeting the boy's obedient and gentle smile, which looked completely innocent.
Tsk.
No wonder they deliberately took their time coming over; they probably planned the Xu family's itinerary in advance.
"Just passing by, buying some snacks," Su Jinmu said.
"How did you end up here? This isn't on the way to the Su family's place, is it?" Xu Sibai asked in surprise, then glanced at Li Xin beside him and understood, "Oh, the two of you are just strolling around."
Su Jinmu: "..."
Li Xin smiled gently.
Su Han smiled with delight, "Since we've run into each other, let's go home for dinner."
“Exactly,” Xu Sibai chimed in. “Jinmu, you injured your leg before, why wouldn’t you let us come over to see you? We were worried for a long time.”
Su Jinmu: "..."
It would be best if the three members of the Xu family didn't keep going to the Su family's place.
Su Jinmu wanted to refuse, but Su Han exclaimed, "Come on, come on! Perfect timing, I just bought some snacks."
"Li Xin, right? Let's go together."
Su Jinmu: "..."
Su Jinmu pursed her lips, glanced at Li Xin, and followed.
This supermarket wasn't the one Xu's family used to frequent, but it was bigger and had more items, so they would come here once or twice a week.
The three members of the Xu family had little contact with Li Xin, but they had a strong impression of the red marks on Su Jinmu's body that time.
However, it was not appropriate to interfere too much in the young people's love life, so they didn't ask many questions and just chatted with Su Jinmu.
Su Jinmu had a leg injury, and Xu Sibai hadn't gone to see her in person. He kept thinking about it and looked at Li Xin, saying, "Jinmu was injured in the leg before, which made things inconvenient for her. Thanks to you for taking care of her."
"Thank you—" Xu Sibai wanted to say thank you, but then realized something was wrong and changed his words, "Did Jin Mu's parents properly thank you?"
With a slight smile on his face, Li Xin looked at Su Jinmu and said in a low voice, "Young Master, may I speak?"
Su Jinmu: "???!"
Can you say anything?
Su Jinmu looked up at him, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly, revealing her clear and bright eyes.
What kind of thoughts are those ghosts having?
Su Jinmu casually said, "It was just a minor injury, it's completely healed, there's nothing to say."
"You can't think like that, you have to be careful." Su Han disagreed, frowning. "You can't think there's nothing to say."
Su Jinmu: "..."
Li Xin smiled slowly, his eyes dark and deep.
"Not counting the time you came, Professor Su, Mr. and Mrs. Su have only visited the young master twice in total."
Su Han: "??!"
Xu Sibai: "??!!"
Even Xu Yu, who had been quietly following along without saying much, raised an eyebrow, her expression ambiguous.
"What's the meaning?"
Su Han was surprised, "Jin Mu's leg injury is quite deep."
Moreover, the Su couple didn't say that to her face at the time.
Through Jiang Jing, Xu Yu and Xu Sibai learned that Su's parents treated their two sons differently. Su Han also learned from several interactions that Su's parents did not truly love Jin Mu.
But... I never expected it to come to this.
Don't you even bother to check on your injuries?
Su Jinmu: "..."
Su Jinmu turned to look at Li Xin.
“But…” Su Han pursed her lips, “You have a wound, so you have to be careful about what Jin Mu eats.”
Li Xin said casually, "Young Master hasn't eaten with them in a long time."
The boy remained calm, as if he hadn't said anything. Xu Yu, standing to the side, quietly raised her eyes and thoughtfully examined Su Jinmu, her gaze then drifting towards his hair.
Su Jinmu: "..."
Li Xin wanted to arouse suspicion in the Xu family, making them suspicious of him as the "biological son of the Su family."
Su Jinmu clicked her tongue inwardly. Li Xin stopped there, walking calmly and politely to the side as if he hadn't said anything at all.
"My tastes don't quite match my parents', so we haven't been eating together lately," Su Jinmu explained hastily.
...No matter how inconsistent they are, under normal circumstances, a family would not go such a long time without eating together.
The Xu family members exchanged glances, asking no further questions, but each harbored their own thoughts.
Su Jinmu: "..."
Tsk.
Upon arriving at the Xu family's residence, Su Jinmu took advantage of a lull in everyone's busyness to lead Li Xin to a corner and give him a meaningful look.
"Is the young master angry?"
Li Xin had a slight smile on his face, a gentle curve, dark eyebrows and eyes, a strange madness and docility intertwined.
He took Su Jinmu's hand, his scarlet tongue brushing against her fingertips, a sinister smile on his face.
"As agreed, I was just helping the young master and the Xu family to resolve their differences."
"They didn't say anything directly."
Su Jinmu: "..."
It's almost enough to make people think there's something wrong with the Su family, what else could they possibly want to say?
Su Jinmu clicked her tongue as the boy gently licked her fingertips, biting them with his teeth and slowly rubbing them together.
The boy's eyes were smiling, deep and enigmatic, revealing a subtle hint of aggression.
Dangerous and ferocious.
Su Jinmu: "...Don't directly impact the Xu family."
While still at the Xu family's house, Su Jinmu didn't want to say too much. She returned to the table and chatted with Su Hanxu and Si Bai for a few more minutes before leaving quickly after finishing her meal.
It was quite late, and Su Han and Xu Sibai originally planned to have Su Jinmu stay there for the night.
But Su Jinmu was worried that Li Xin might cause some more trouble, so she shook her head and took her leave.
.
Because of Li Xin's actions, the Xu family paid more attention to the Su family and frequently invited him over, which he couldn't always refuse.
Otherwise, if the Xu family becomes suspicious of the Su family, then that devil Li Xin will also become suspicious of him.
He frequently visited the Xu family's home, and also had classes at the Su family's home. Combining the two, he was surprisingly quite busy.
After a few days of respite, Su Jinmu finally had some free time. She returned to her room, sat on the sofa, leaned back in her chair, and slowly raised her eyes.
Li Xin put down the fruit and some ice cream, and obediently moved closer.
Su Jinmu: "..."
Su Jinmu raised her eyes, glanced at what was in front of her, and slightly raised her chin.
The boy lowered his head and obediently knelt down in front of him, spread his legs, looked up at him, and curved his scarlet lips into a smile.
Like a wild beast, hiding its ferocity, its eyes are dark and unfathomable.
"Young Master."
Su Jinmu clicked her tongue softly, thinking about how busy she had been lately. Seeing his feigned docile appearance, she bit her lip slightly, feeling a little annoyed.
"Close your eyes, don't look."
Li Xin paused, then raised his hand to grasp Su Jinmu's ankle, tightening his grip before obediently closing his eyes.
Su Jinmu: "..."
Su Jinmu clicked her tongue, raised her other leg, and casually stepped on the boy's waist and abdomen.
"Hmm..."
The boy let out a soft groan, his eyes closed, but there was a smile on his face, a dark, scarlet red with a hint of coolness, as his fingertips caressed his ankle.
"Young Master hasn't played with me in a long time."
Su Jinmu twitched the corner of her mouth, a half-smile playing on her lips, "Who is this because of?"
"Hmm..."
Su Jinmu shifted her position by pressing down with her feet, and heard the boy groan. The hand on her ankle tightened its grip, and the heat gradually spread, rising into a high temperature.
"Young Master, could you use a little more force?" Li Xin asked, his breathing slightly rapid, and chuckled softly.
"Tsk."
Su Jinmu smiled calmly, noticing the boy's madness, but said nothing, only slowly stepping on his waist.
Li Xin's breathing became more rapid, his scarlet lips darkened, and his breaths became hot. He gripped his ankle tightly in his hands, and his voice became hoarse.
“…Young Master.”
He ran his hand up his ankle to his knee, his breathing becoming heavy.
That's fine.
"I feel terrible."
Su Jinmu looked down at him, a slight smile playing on his lips. He felt the boy holding the back of his knee, his palms burning hot, his fingertips rubbing against it.
"Feeling unwell?"
"Hmm," the boy replied sullenly.
Su Jinmu sighed regretfully, "But I'm a little sleepy and want to go to sleep."
Su Jinmu lifted his face, her beautiful eyes filled with a smile, gentle and carefree, alluring and seductive.
"Come up and sleep with me. Lie down and don't move."
