"Kiss?"
Mu Qi silently repeated the word Yun Shuxian had spoken in his mind, thinking he had misheard.
"Mu Qi, kissy~" Yun Shuxian, receiving no response from Mu Qi, pouted and leaned closer.
Mu Qi blinked slowly, gazing deeply at Yun Shuxian, as if to imprint her lively demeanor into his memory.
Mu Qi remained still, only staring at her, which gradually made Yun Shuxian feel a surge of embarrassment.
Yun Shuxian's lips unconsciously lowered again.
"Mu... Mu Qi, if you don't want to kiss, let's go eat first." Mainly, being stared at like that made her so flustered, so incredibly flustered!
Mu Qi blinked again, as if finally reacting, and leaned forward, gently kissing Yun Shuxian's lips.
Yun Shuxian felt it was very light, like a feather.
Looking at Mu Qi's somewhat innocent eyes, Yun Shuxian forced herself to look away.
Yet, even such a light, feather-like kiss sent Yun Shuxian into a state of turmoil.
It felt like a deeper connection than ever before, making it even harder for her to bear.
Hmph, he really knew how to entice someone.
And yet, he had those innocent eyes.
Mm~
Mu Qi's cool fingers touched Yun Shuxian's back, causing her to tremble inwardly. She was about to reach out and dress herself.
But recalling Mu Qi's apparent intense emotions just now, Yun Shuxian let her hand drop.
She dared not make any extra moves these past few days. She had to go along with Mu Qi; following his lead was the right thing to do.
Thinking this, Yun Shuxian opened her arms, making it easier for Mu Qi to help her dress.
Yun Shuxian breathed a slight sigh of relief in her heart only after Mu Qi had finished dressing her.
Distance creates beauty. She needed to calm down, lest she be restless all day, constantly thinking about pouncing on Mu Qi.
However, Yun Shuxian didn't expect that the moment her toes touched the slippers on the floor, she was suddenly swept into Mu Qi's embrace.
Yun Shuxian instinctively raised her hands to encircle Mu Qi's neck.
Catching sight of Mu Qi's attractive jawline, Yun Shuxian abruptly closed her eyes, then buried her face in Mu Qi's chest and inhaled deeply, again and again.
Mu Qi's body stiffened. He lowered his head slightly to look at Yun Shuxian, who was addicted to breathing him in against his chest. The curve of his lips widened.
After a moment, he stepped forward, continuing towards the stairs.
Aunt Ning downstairs was pacing nervously in the hall. Looking up, she saw Yun Shuxian clinging to Mu Qi intimately, and her heart immediately settled.
"Young Master, Young Madam. The food is being kept warm in the kitchen. You can start whenever you're ready."
"Mm." Aunt Ning walked towards them. Hearing only this single word from Mu Qi, Aunt Ning knew Mu Qi's mood was definitely good.
As for Yun Shuxian, the moment she heard Aunt Ning's voice, she couldn't stay still in Mu Qi's arms.
She was shy, extremely shy, the kind of shy where she wanted to bury herself in the ground.
It wasn't like she didn't have legs to walk.
As soon as this thought crossed Yun Shuxian's mind, she sighed inwardly again.
Around Mu Qi, she truly seemed to need nothing else. Especially now that Mu Qi's emotions were unstable, she absolutely could not object to anything.
Thinking this, Yun Shuxian burrowed herself deeper into Mu Qi's embrace.
Can't see, can't see, can't see!
As long as she couldn't see Aunt Ning, she wouldn't be embarrassed!
After a while, Mu Qi sat on the sofa. Yun Shuxian was finally conquered by a wave of hunger, and all thoughts of shyness vanished.
She even felt that even if Mu Qi put her down now, she might not have the strength to stand, and she was determined to cling to Mu Qi's embrace.
Finally, five minutes later, dishes were served one by one.
Yun Shuxian eagerly picked up her chopsticks, only to find that even lifting them felt like a great effort.
So Yun Shuxian cupped Mu Qi's face with both hands, making him meet her gaze, and blinked pitifully, "Mu Qi, feed me."
"Alright," Mu Qi responded. Yun Shuxian eagerly pointed to the large shrimp on the table.
However, Mu Qi first scooped a spoonful of porridge and brought it to Yun Shuxian's lips.
"Drink some porridge first to nourish your stomach."
Yun Shuxian pouted, "Porridge isn't tasty, I want shrimp."
Mu Qi: "Drink a little first."
Yun Shuxian refused, turning her head away as if in a fit of pique.
Aunt Ning had been watching Mu Qi and Yun Shuxian's movements. Seeing them like this, she was extremely anxious, fearing a dispute might arise again.
However, in the next second, Mu Qi suddenly drank the porridge from the spoon himself, then raised his hand to cup Yun Shuxian's chin and leaned over, passing the mouthful of porridge to her.
Aunt Ning: She had worried unnecessarily.
Yun Shuxian was stunned. Mu Qi, taking advantage of Yun Shuxian's dazed state, made her swallow the porridge in her mouth without her realizing it.
As Yun Shuxian's mouth became empty, seeing her still looking at him blankly, Mu Qi's heart stirred, and he couldn't resist tracing the roof of her mouth with his tongue.
The sudden tickle made Yun Shuxian shiver.
Her eyelashes, like butterfly wings, blinked rapidly.
When Yun Shuxian came back to her senses, Mu Qi had already pulled away.
Yun Shuxian looked up at Mu Qi's lips, a hint of grievance in her eyes, a grievance mixed with deep longing.
"Will you drink it yourself, or will I 'feed' you?"
Mu Qi held the bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, scooping some porridge.
Mu Qi's voice pulled Yun Shuxian's thoughts back.
Yun Shuxian did want Mu Qi to "feed" her, but at that time, she wouldn't just want to drink porridge.
Then, Yun Shuxian touched her stomach again. Thinking that if she didn't eat properly, she might starve to death halfway through the meal.
Yun Shuxian shook her head silently, then proactively took the bowl of porridge from Mu Qi and drank it down with gusto.
With a thud, Yun Shuxian put down the bowl and pointed her index finger at the shrimp, adopting a "I'm the boss" stance.
Mu Qi looked at her with indulgence and obediently picked up a shrimp and brought it to Yun Shuxian's mouth.
Thus, the two cooperated with perfect synergy.
Half an hour later, Yun Shuxian patted her stomach with extreme satisfaction.
Fullness brings forth...
