Chapter 85 Pretending: I don't want a body pillow, can I sleep with you?
"Mumu, how could you bite your brother?"
Su Han waved to Su Jinmu, who ran over with her short legs, hugged her mother's leg, and pouted.
Li Xin followed closely behind, his heels almost touching Su Jinmu's.
He was a head taller than Su Jinmu. He looked up and said, "Auntie, he didn't bite me on purpose. I was just playing around with him."
Su Han looked at Li Xin, smiled, and patted his head, "Did the bite hurt you?"
Li Xin shook his head and looked at Su Jinmu, "Does your tooth hurt?"
The child is small, with a small face and small teeth, and everything is white.
Su Jinmu: "..."
Su Jinmu hugged Su Han's leg and shook her head at Li Xin.
Li Xin's pupils were very dark, and when he smiled, he looked innocent and harmless. "Then let's continue playing."
Su Jinmu: "..."
Su Jinmu looked him over strangely, feeling that there was something odd about him. "Let's play on the amusement park rides."
I'm not feeding them anymore.
Li Xin: "...Okay."
Song Xunyou looked at her son with surprise, she had never seen him so enthusiastic and attentive to any other child his age before.
He's usually so serious, unlike a child.
Since the two families had met, they decided to play together.
Su Jinmu and Li Xin walked together, climbing up and down and playing all the games that children could play.
While they were playing, Su Han and Xu Sibai were not idle either.
Su Han didn't chase after the child trafficker because she was worried about the child being there and fearing further danger, but that doesn't mean she can let Xu Sibai off so easily.
They contacted relevant personnel and immediately blocked the amusement park gates, carrying out the arrest secretly without alerting the visitors inside.
Fortunately, the person was caught quickly.
Police found sedatives and sharp blades on him and took him directly to the police station.
Su Han and Xu Sibai breathed a sigh of relief.
As it got dark and they were preparing to head back after their trip, Su Han and Xu Sibai asked Song Xunyou a question.
"We're getting ready to go back, what about you?"
Song Xunyou also planned to go back, glancing at her phone, "I should go back too, it's getting late."
After asking each other where they were going, they were surprised to find that they were actually in the same neighborhood!
Song Xunyou was quite surprised. After her divorce, she randomly chose a neighborhood and never expected to end up living in the same place as the Xu family.
That's quite a coincidence.
Su Han was delighted. "That's perfect, let's go together since we're going the same way."
Su Han patted Su Jinmu's head, still feeling lingering fear when she thought of the human trafficker from earlier that day. She took a deep breath and pinched her youngest son's cheek.
He sincerely thanked Song Xunyou again, "Thank you, and thank you to your little one too."
"If it weren't for you, that human trafficker might have actually succeeded."
The car was already parked in the residential area. The two families got out of the car, and Su Han said sincerely, "If you ever need our help in the future, just ask and we will definitely help you without hesitation."
Song Xunyou quite liked Su Han; she admired straightforward women like her. She smiled and said, "Okay, I've got it, but I don't need it for now—"
"drop--"
"drop--"
The phone suddenly rang.
It was already dark when Xu Sibai parked the car in the garage. The streetlights were not yet on, and the surrounding area was pitch black.
Song Xunyou picked up her phone, the light illuminating her face. After seeing the content on the screen, her smiling expression instantly vanished, and she looked somewhat cold.
Su Han's voice softened slightly, tinged with concern, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
After parking the car, Xu Sibai returned and asked earnestly, "Is there anything we can do?"
Song Xunyou glanced at Li Xin beside her, pursed her lips, and her expression was not very pleasant.
“When I divorced Li Cunru, I took the portion of the business I had brought with me. Li Cunru harbors resentment and is looking for us everywhere, intending to take revenge.”
Su Han: "?!"
What a piece of trash!
Xu Sibai frowned. "Li Cunru is ruthless in business, but no one says anything when it comes to business. I didn't expect him to be so ruthless in his daily life as well."
Song Xunyou nodded, glanced at Li Xin, then at Su Han and his wife, and suddenly looked up.
"Could you please allow Li Xin to stay with you for a while to avoid trouble? I will take him away as soon as I find a safe place."
Su Han was taken aback. "Sure, of course you can, but what about you?"
Song Xunyou shook her head and smiled, "I'm fine. After all, I'm an adult, not some defenseless, dull, and naive person. Some methods can't affect me. It's just that Li Xin is still young."
Li Xin looked up at her, and Song Xunyou patted him on the shoulder.
Su Han said, "You can come and stay at my house. It'll be fine."
Song Xunyou shook her head.
A child is inconspicuous on their own, but if we bring her along, we'll become too conspicuous.
Moreover, the Xu family and the Jiang family are related by marriage, and together they are comparable to Li Xin.
Li Cunru was already wary of the Xu family. Now that they are divorced and she has taken some of their assets with her, the Li family is suffering a setback and will keep a close eye on the Xu family's movements.
At this point, if Li Cunru were to discover that she was living at the Xu family's residence, he might assume that she was in league with the Xu family and, in a desperate situation, might do something drastic.
Song Xunyou pushed the child forward, saying, "Thank you for taking care of the child for a few days."
Su Han pulled Li Xin close and looked at Song Xunyou with concern, "Okay, child, don't worry. Since the Li family is so ruthless, we're willing to cause them more trouble."
Li Cunru had no dealings with the Xu family, yet he would occasionally jump out to nitpick at them. Normally, ignoring him would have been fine.
But since they've met Song Xunyou and there's the matter of Li Xin saving Mu Mu, the Xu family will definitely help Song Xunyou no matter what.
Su Han and Xu Sibai exchanged contact information with Song Xunyou and headed off in different directions into the dim night.
Xu Sibai took his phone and immediately contacted a team of security guards, asking them to go to the vicinity of Song Xunyou's residence and let them know via message.
When they returned to the Xu family home and turned on the lights, the room instantly became bright.
Xu Sibai and Su Han ushered the children into the house and stopped discussing these matters in front of them.
The Xu family doesn't have guest rooms. Originally, if Song Xunyou and Li Xin came to stay together, they could stay on the sofa for a couple of days, and then quickly clean out a study or game room, and just tidy up one or two rooms to accommodate them.
But Song Xunyou didn't come. Su Han looked at Li Xin, who wasn't much older, squatted down, and asked gently, "Li Xin, can you stay in the guest room by yourself?"
Although Li Xin is young, he is not weak-minded. He understands his mother's situation with Li Cunru and does not cry or make a fuss. He also knows that his mother will be more at ease without him as a burden.
Li Xin can certainly live alone, but...
He turned his gaze to the fair and tender little dumpling beside him, staring at the child's soft and bouncy face, surrounded by a faint sweet fragrance. He lowered his gaze and lowered his voice.
"I'm a little scared."
Su Jinmu: "...?"
The problem is, why are you even looking at him?
Su Han understood. "You want to live with your younger brother, right?"
Li Xin is a head taller and looks older than Su Jinmu.
Li Xin lowered her eyes, pursed her lips slightly, and tugged at her sleeve. "Is it okay?"
Su Jinmu: "..."
Su Han wouldn't make decisions for the child, so she asked Su Jinmu, "Mumu, are you willing?"
Su Jinmu didn't dislike Li Xin that much. Besides, Li Xin had fought off the human traffickers for him and had even been bitten by him during the day, but Li Xin hadn't said anything.
Su Jinmu nodded, "I'm willing."
Li Xin's lips suddenly curled up, then softened, revealing a pure and gentle childlike expression.
Su Han looked at her youngest son to make sure he was genuinely willing and not just embarrassed to refuse in front of others before nodding.
"Okay, then you can stay together. Go inside and have some fun. I'll go find some clothes for Li Xin."
Su Jinmu led Li Xin into the bedroom, opened the door, and said to Li Xin behind her, "Come in."
Li Xin paused at the door for two seconds, then stepped inside quietly.
The room was cozy; the windows were closed, but there was no musty smell.
Instead, a faint sweet fragrance permeated the air.
The entire room was decorated in a light and elegant style.
It smells so good.
Li Xin's pupils darkened slightly, his throat muscles twitched slightly, and his breathing became rapid.
So sweet.
Li Xin licked his lips, which were somewhat scarlet.
The moment Su Jinmu closed the door, she saw it, raised her hand, and her fair and soft fingers reached out to rub against it, asking curiously.
"Your lips are so red, are they bleeding?"
Fingertips touched his lips, a direct contact, and in an instant, a rich fragrance swept over his body. Li Xin's head spun a little, and he instinctively took two steps closer.
"There was no bleeding."
Su Jinmu: "???"
Su Jinmu took two steps back with her short legs.
Li Xin, with his long legs, took two steps to catch up.
Su Jinmu took two more steps, and Li Xin followed with two more steps. The number of steps was the same, but the leg lengths were different. Li Xin stood in front of Su Jinmu in just a few steps, their toes almost touching.
Su Jinmu bumped her nose on Li Xin's shoulder, looked up to look, but lost her balance, her short legs and arms flailed twice, and she sat down on the ground with a thud.
Li Xin reached out and grabbed his arm, then loosely pulled him up.
Why can't you stand up straight?
Li Xin had fair skin and dark eyes, like a ghost in the night. He smiled and pinched Su Jinmu's soft wrist, "Is your flesh too soft?"
Tender and smooth.
cute.
Su Jinmu: "..."
Su Jinmu curled her lips down, speaking slowly and methodically, completely unfazed, "You're the one who pushed me."
Li Xin nodded obediently, very meekly, "Okay, I'm sorry."
Su Jinmu: "..."
Their attitude was pretty good.
Su Jinmu glanced at him, raised her chin, nodded, and gave a slight smile.
Her fair and delicate face immediately relaxed, her eyes clear and bright, already hinting at the beautiful appearance she would take when she grew up.
Li Xin stared at it for a while.
After taking a shower and going to bed, Su Jinmu lay down in bed. A little while later, Li Xin also finished showering and came out. He looked at the soft, white child on the bed, lifted a corner of the blanket, and crawled in.
After taking a shower, Su Jinmu's body was still damp with moisture. The warmth made the sweet fragrance even stronger, wafting straight to the tip of her nose.
Li Xin's breathing quickened. He was wearing Su Jinmu's largest and loosest clothes, which already surrounded him with a sweet fragrance, and then he smelled the distinct fragrance next to him.
It felt like I was soaking in sweet water.
Holding the edge of the blanket, I felt the warm, cozy temperature underneath. I slowly pulled the blanket up to cover my mouth and nose.
Take a deep breath under the covers.
call……
So sweet.
Li Xin contracted his throat muscles twice and tensed his fingertips.
Su Jinmu looked at him strangely, "Are you cold?"
Why are you covered up so tightly in this hot weather?
Li Xin got out of bed, met the child's clear gaze, shook his head, swallowed, and spoke very softly.
"I'm a little scared, and I can't sleep?"
Su Jinmu looked at him, "What are you afraid of? Here's a cushion for you?"
Li Xin looked up, his dark gaze pure, and he seemed a little scared, so he tugged at Li Xin's sleeve pitifully.
"I don't want a body pillow, can I sleep while hugging you?"
