Mu Qi: "Why aren't you speaking anymore?"
Two hours after Mu Qi had been kissing Yun Shunnian, Yun Shunnian sat stiffly on Mu Qi's lap, allowing Mu Qi to nuzzle into the crook of her neck with his eyes closed.
Yun Shunnian didn't want to speak. She felt too embarrassed to say anything.
Seeing Yun Shunnian's lack of reaction, Mu Qi opened his mouth and bit down on Yun Shunnian's tender neck.
Yun Shunnian's pained cry easily pushed Mu Qi away.
Yun Shunnian then tried to get up from Mu Qi's lap, but this time Mu Qi didn't let her. He held down her shoulders and then wrapped his arms around her.
"Say something, please?" Mu Qi's head grew heavier on Yun Shunnian's shoulder and neck.
Mu Qi couldn't see Yun Shunnian's eyes, nor could he gauge her mood from her tone. This made Mu Qi's heart pound uncontrollably, his whole body tensing.
"I won't speak, I won't speak, I won't speak." Yun Shunnian hugged herself, as if arguing with herself.
Mu Qi heard the slight annoyance in Yun Shunnian's voice and felt a little relieved. He gently kissed Yun Shunnian's cheek.
Feeling the tickle on her cheek, Yun Shunnian immediately let go of her stubbornness.
"What do you want me to say?" Yun Shunnian's voice softened considerably.
Enough was enough. If Mu Qi wasn't embarrassed, why should she be!
"Anything is fine," Mu Qi's phoenix eyes flashed with surprise. He wondered why Yun Shunnian was no longer angry.
"What should I say?" Yun Shunnian pondered.
However, after thinking for a long time, she still didn't know what to say.
"You have nothing to say to me?" Seeing the growing turmoil in Mu Qi's eyes, Yun Shunnian finally spoke.
"Then I'll talk about this movie. It's about a person stranded on the moon, but it's a comedy..."
As Yun Shunnian spoke, Mu Qi's expression softened, even though he wasn't interested.
"Mu Qi, if one day you were stranded on the moon, would you do everything you could to come back to Earth to find me?"
By the end of the movie, Yun Shunnian was crying uncontrollably.
Mu Qi sat beside her, carefully catching her tears.
Yun Shunnian asked the question with a sob. Mu Qi paused in his act of wiping her tears, then cupped Yun Shunnian's chin with one hand.
Yun Shunnian was also taken aback by Mu Qi's sudden action.
What was going on? Wasn't she being sentimental just now? Why was Mu Qi suddenly unhappy again?
"Do you want to leave me?"
Yun Shunnian blinked her big eyes, not understanding at first. It wasn't until she heard Mu Qi's voice from behind her that she finally understood what was happening.
"No, Mu Qi. I was just saying 'what if'." Yun Shunnian looked at Mu Qi as if to say, "I just wanted you to tell me you love me, but why are you questioning me?"
"There is no 'what if'." Mu Qi suddenly closed the screen.
Then, Yun Shunnian was suddenly lifted into the air by Mu Qi and carried to the dining table.
With a wave of Mu Qi's hand, the servants began serving dishes one after another. Soon, the entire table was full.
"Is it time for dinner?" Yun Shunnian looked at the table full of food, bewildered, and then let out an ill-timed burp.
She seemed to have already eaten her fill of potato chips.
Yun Shunnian looked at Mu Qi awkwardly.
"Have some porridge." Mu Qi frowned slightly, thinking of how Yun Shunnian had choked on potato chips. He picked up the bird's nest soup from the table.
Yun Shunnian waved her hands repeatedly. "I'm... a little full right now."
Mu Qi: "How many bags of potato chips did you eat?"
The familiar awkwardness enveloped Yun Shunnian again.
"Not much, just over a dozen bags." After saying that, Yun Shunnian touched her nose, clearly feeling guilty.
Mu Qi was silent for a moment.
Yun Shunnian thought Mu Qi was stunned by her appetite.
To her surprise, Mu Qi soon brought a spoonful of porridge to her lips. "Not much, have a little more."
Yun Shunnian: "?"
Are you okay?
Over a dozen bags! How could that be considered "not much"?
Yun Shunnian looked at the calm Mu Qi in front of her in astonishment.
While Yun Shunnian was dazed, Mu Qi's handsome face suddenly loomed before her eyes. The next second, a spoonful of bird's nest soup entered Yun Shunnian's mouth.
Yun Shunnian didn't want to eat, but Mu Qi placed his hand on her throat, insisting she swallow the bird's nest soup before he moved away.
"Mu Qi, have you become a bit clingy lately?"
Mu Qi had never forced her to eat like this before. Yun Shunnian couldn't find a suitable word and used "clingy."
"Clingy? You don't like me being clingy?"
"That's not exactly it." Yun Shunnian realized Mu Qi might have misunderstood, but at the moment, her stomach was so full and uncomfortable that she didn't have the energy to think carefully.
"I understand." Mu Qi's expression was serious and forlorn. He turned and left.
Yun Shunnian, meanwhile, wondered what Mu Qi had understood while unable to stop herself from burping.
Thinking Mu Qi hadn't eaten yet, Yun Shunnian quickly asked Aunt Ning to bring him dinner. She herself clutched her stomach, groaning uncomfortably.
"Young Madam, shall we have Doctor Diao take a look?" After delivering Mu Qi's meal, Aunt Ning saw how uncomfortable Yun Shunnian was and hurried to suggest it.
"No!" Yun Shunnian didn't want Doctor Diao to laugh at her for being too full from eating.
"Aunt Ning, just get me some indigestion tablets." Yun Shunnian flopped onto the sofa and instructed.
She still had some pills made by the old man, but none of them could cure this kind of overeating.
Aunt Ning immediately went to look for the medicine cabinet, but after searching several times, she couldn't find any indigestion tablets.
Just then, the doorbell rang. Aunt Ning, looking anxious, went to open the door.
Upon seeing the visitor, Aunt Ning's expression immediately relaxed.
Aunt Ning: "Doctor Diao, you're here."
"What's wrong with Mu Qi? Hurry and let me see him!" Doctor Diao said as he bypassed Aunt Ning and walked upstairs.
Wasn't Doctor Diao here because of the Madam? Aunt Ning followed him with a puzzled look.
Yun Shunnian, seeing this, also covered her stomach and prepared to follow Doctor Diao upstairs to find Mu Qi.
However, before the three of them had even reached the stairs, they saw Mu Qi standing on the second floor, pointing at Yun Shunnian.
Suddenly, Aunt Ning, Yun Shunnian, and Doctor Diao all stopped.
