Chapter 12: Coaxing and Questioning
Lin Jin did not struggle and let the warm palm stay on him. His vision was pitch black, but his hearing was much better.
He heard Mu Xu sigh, then lean over, pause, let go of his hand, and hugged him.
Lin Jin saw the light instantly.
"Lin Jin." Mu Xu was unusually serious. He leaned lightly on Lin Jin's shoulder and asked, "Do you think I can find it?"
Lin Jin said without hesitation, "We can find it."
Mu Xu chuckled: "Why?"
Lin Jin responded: "Because you are good."
Mu Xu asked: "Are you giving me the nice guy card?"
Lin Jin didn't know what the Nice Guy Card meant, but after thinking about it literally, he felt it was correct, so he said, "Well, you're a nice person."
Mu Xu was silent for a moment, and then discussed: "I'm such a good person, so I don't have to worry about not finding a partner, right? Can we not rush to find one?"
Thinking about it this way, Lin Jin also felt that it made sense.
In fact, he felt that someone like Mu Xu should never lack a partner, no matter whether he liked boys or girls.
But before, Mu Xu said that no boy wanted him, so Lin Jin thought that he should find a partner as soon as possible.
But from what Mu Xu said now, it seems that he is not short of a partner now, and it seems that he doesn't want to find one now.
Lin Jin hummed, raised his hand and touched his head, saying, "I'm sorry, did I put pressure on you? I didn't mean to rush you, I'm just worried that you'll be entangled by these trivial matters later."
Mu Xu closed his eyes and silently sniffed the unique body fragrance of Lin Jin.
He responded softly, "Teacher Lin, don't push me to others."
Lin Jin wanted to say that he didn't, but then he thought about how he had just asked him to find a partner, which was actually no different from handing him over to someone else.
"Teacher Lin, please don't abandon me."
Without waiting for Lin Jin to speak, Mu Xu hummed again, with some sadness and grief in his voice.
Like a puppy worried about being abandoned by its owner.
Lin Jin no longer had the energy to think about logic, he just wanted to coax people.
He touched Mu Xu's head and whispered, "I won't abandon you."
Lin Jin has comforted countless people over the years, but few have ever been able to hug and coax them like this.
Apart from my family and the boy who stood at my doorstep during high school, almost nothing else is left.
Maybe it was the hug on the day of getting the marriage certificate that reminded him of the boy at the door of his house, the boy at noon, or maybe it was because Mu Xu's family helped him in high school, Lin Jin's indulgence towards Mu Xu was unprecedented.
The living room is quiet.
Mu Xu held the boy tightly in his arms, gently playing with the long hair on his shoulders, and his warm breath fanned Lin Jin's delicate white neck. "Teacher Lin, please tie your hair up next time."
Lin Jin asked: "Why?"
Mu Xu said, "It looks good."
Lin Jin started growing his hair long in his sophomore year. He was initially a little afraid of crowds, but the constant approach from people, whether asking for his WeChat ID or commenting on his good looks, and their attitudes, whether good or bad, all added to his pressure.
So he grew his hair long.
The long hair can cover his eyes and obstruct his vision quite a bit.
After he grew his hair long, almost no one bothered him.
They started to say that he was gloomy and withdrawn, using many negative words, but Lin Jin was very happy.
As long as no one bothers him, he can say anything.
This stay has lasted until now.
When Zheng Shu was in college, he lived in his house and suggested several times that he cut his hair short, but Lin Jin just thought he was a chatterbox and always ignored him.
Until now, Mu Xu has also made similar suggestions.
But he didn't tell him to cut it short, instead he said: "Tie it up."
Mu Xu brushed the hair behind his ear and said, "Teacher Lin, when you are at home, please put your hair up, okay?"
Lin Jin thought that he hadn't drunk any alcohol, but for some reason his mind felt a little confused.
He responded softly, "Yeah."
Mu Xu chuckled, and her warm breath fell on his chest vaguely.
He said, "Teacher Lin, please see Ms. Qiao and Mr. Mu another day. They are busy with work recently and are away on business."
Lin Jin hummed again like a humanoid robot.
In his current state, I'm afraid he will just say "hmm" whatever Mu Xu says.
Because Mu Xu's hands were not very well behaved, the hand that was originally playing with his hair was now gently pinching the back of his neck, while the other hand was vaguely supporting his waist.
The collar was already a little red because of the warm breath passing over it.
Lin Jin's scalp was tingling and something was wrong with his body.
Not long ago, he hoped that Mu Xu would not be so unfamiliar, but now Mu Xu is as he wished.
He only felt that the blood in his body was aroused, and even his blood vessels were itchy.
Fortunately, Mu Xu was a gentleman. After teasing Lin Jin for a while, he acted like a gentleman. He stood up, gently touched his head, and said, "Teacher Lin, take a bath and go to bed early. Good night."
After saying that, he turned around and went into the house first.
Lin Jin let the breeze that swept into the living room from the balcony calm his blood, then he stood up and went in stiffly.
He wanted to knock on Mu Xu's door, but heard the faint sound of water inside. Thinking that Mu Xu was taking a shower, he put down his hand and turned to go into the room.
