Chapter 19 Kiss Me
After reading one message, Mu Xu's face darkened.
Until finally, the air pressure in the room was terrifyingly low.
Mu Xu glanced at the number, wrote it down, and put the phone on the table.
At the same time, Lin Jin groaned softly and grabbed around with his hands.
Mu Xu quickly leaned over and extended his hand.
Lin Jin murmured: "...Hug."
Mu Xu wiped the sweat off his face, lifted the quilt, hugged him, and sang a nursery rhyme softly.
The next morning, when Lin Jin woke up, his eyes were dry and his throat was sore.
He blinked and saw Mu Xu, his pajamas disheveled, looking like he had just woken up. He was sitting by the bed, applying medicine to his knee.
He asked uncertainly, "Mu Xu?" After he finished speaking, he found that his throat was very sore and his voice was hoarse and hoarse.
Mu Xu raised his head when he heard that, and while responding, he put the things in his hands aside, took the warm cup of water from the bedside table, handed it to Lin Jin's mouth, and helped him get up.
"Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Lin Jin sorted it out bit by bit: "Eyes, throat, head, feet."
He asked, puzzled, "What happened to me?" Then he recalled his sleep and the dream. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did I...do anything horrible?"
Even though he was asking this, he already knew the answer. And based on the injuries on his body, he could also infer that he must have been stopped by Mu Xu halfway. Otherwise, based on past experience, he would have sustained more than just these few injuries.
He paused and said, "I'm sorry, did I scare you?"
The air was silent.
After a moment, Mu Xu said, "Kiss me."
He said: "Teacher Lin, I feel like I'm suffocating."
Lin Jin thought that Mu Xu might say that he was scared, or he might say no.
He hadn't expected this answer. His eyes widened, frozen like stone.
"Kiss me."
Mu Xu said, "What should I do, Teacher Lin? I'm so scared."
He sat on the edge of the bed, his heart aching and swollen as if it would explode at any second.
He had never spent a whole night so awake, so nervous, and so ashamed.
He thought, if he had not been so-called polite all these years, if he had used some violent means to find out where Lin Jin lived during the time he disappeared.
Wouldn’t Lin Jin be less painful?
He had clearly seen how sad he was, so how could he have the heart to hand him over to someone else?
Mu Xu didn't dare close his eyes the whole night.
He was afraid that as soon as he closed his eyes, the person next to him would slip through his fingers.
He didn't know what he could do to ease the unrest of the night.
So, when he heard his beloved apologize, he lost control and asked for a kiss from him.
Pamper him, just for a while.
Mu Xu thought.
He knew he was being excessive and unreasonable.
But his beloved still indulged him and kissed his forehead gently, like a dragonfly touching the water, fleetingly.
Lin Jin pulled away, pursed his lips, and asked softly, "Are you feeling better?"
Mu Xu was stunned there, almost overwhelmed by the feeling of being flattered. The blood in his body was boiling, but inexplicably, he calmed down.
Perhaps it's because the expanded chest acts as a soothing bridge.
Mu Xu did not have the usual physiological reaction, nor did he have the desire to chase after her and continue. He was satisfied so easily.
He slowed down, hummed softly, and said, "Thank you, Teacher Lin."
Lin Jin touched his earlobe and asked, "What time is it? Is it time for class?"
Mu Xu was silent for a moment before he said, "Teacher Lin, I don't want to go to work."
Lin Jin chuckled and asked, "Are you worried about me?"
"Um."
Lin Jin said, "Go ahead. Can I video chat with you?"
After saying that, he seemed to think of something and suddenly asked, "Mu Xu, you often video-called me before. Was it because you were worried about me?"
Mu Xu didn't even pretend, she closed her eyes and leaned lightly on his shoulder: "Yeah."
Lin Jin patted his head and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry so much."
Mu Xu said: "If you are worried about me, just touch me. Teacher Lin, I will always bow my head for you."
"Um."
Mu Xu finally went to work. As soon as he got off the elevator, Lin Jin called him on video.
At that moment, Mu Xu's depressed mood and uneasiness disappeared instantly.
He answered the call and said softly, "Teacher Lin, long time no see."
The interlude of the night lay between the two of them naturally like a thin film.
The deteriorating emotions that seem to be there and not there, and the past that has not been revealed yet.
Lin Jin had never told anyone about his family affairs. He almost told Fu Yigu about it in high school, but as soon as he started talking, he was called over by the teacher.
He never spoke again after that.
The past has been buried for so long that it’s difficult to bring it up again because it’s been so long and there are so many things going on that I don’t know where to start.
And no matter from which angle you speak, the past is like the flesh on your body, torn apart with every word you speak.
But Mu Xu knows nothing, and she would be scared if she lived with him like this.
Who doesn’t worry about someone dying in their family?
Lin Jin almost wanted to speak, but every time he mustered up the courage to open his mouth, Mu Xu would interrupt him. By the time he reacted, he had already been drawn into Mu Xu's topic.
After so many times, Lin Jin vaguely felt that Mu Xu didn't want to listen to him, so he interrupted him every time.
That’s right, others are not trash cans either.
Lin Jin thought about it and swallowed the words he wanted to say several times.
Forget it, Mu Xu will ask him if he wants to know.
After thinking about it, he came back to his senses and looked at the screen.
Mu Xu had just finished class and was going to a meeting. The two of them briefly explained the situation and then hung up the phone.
However, as soon as he hung up, Mu Xu raised his eyes.
He looked coldly at the person in front of him.
