Chapter 24: I’m Gonna Fight You!
“So why exactly did you come to my house?”
Lin Muxi looked speechlessly at Mo Ziyang, who was sitting on her sofa like he owned the place… So he really thought her house was his, huh?
“Check the school forum yourself.”
“Huh? Forum?”
Lin Muxi was surprised, and in her heart, she even started wondering if the person in front of her was really Mo Ziyang.
Logically, after she had just made fun of him earlier, he should be here to get revenge. But instead, he actually kept his word and helped clear up the misunderstanding?
Weird. Did this guy take the wrong medicine today?
Still unsure, Lin Muxi took out her phone and opened the campus forum. She found that even before she went to lunch, Mo Ziyang had already posted a message explaining that the “cat-ear maid” wasn’t his girlfriend and wasn’t even a student at their school.
“I didn’t think you’d post it so early. Thanks a lot!”
“Please, who do you think your bro is?”
While talking, Lin Muxi scrolled down curiously to check the comments section.
And when she saw them, she almost fainted from anger.
/ Here it is! The young master is online protecting his wife.
// Where can I get a young master like this? I’ll take a dozen.
/ Ah, right, right, young master, if you say so, then it must be true. (dog emoji)
// No way, no way, people aren’t seriously believing this, right?
/ …
What was wrong with these people?! These days, when you tell the truth, no one believes you? Every sarcastic comment made Lin Muxi even more annoyed.
“Wait, why don’t they believe it?”
Confused, Lin Muxi turned to Mo Ziyang like she was asking for help. Her small, puzzled eyes seemed to be waiting for his answer.
“Who knows?”
Faced with her pitiful little look, Mo Ziyang just shrugged calmly, showing it had nothing to do with him and she shouldn’t bother him.
“Uuugh~”
Seeing him act like he didn’t care, Lin Muxi immediately started acting cute, trying to use her… well, her charm to win him over.
Annoying! He probably knew she was cute. Watching her keep making little expressions at him, even Mo Ziyang was slightly surprised.
But no matter how cute she acted, it couldn’t stop him from messing with her today.
So, under Lin Muxi’s confused gaze, Mo Ziyang slowly took out his phone, narrowed his deep eyes, and said,
“You know… after what you just did, I’m thinking… forget helping you, maybe I should just delete that post.”
“Wha—what?”
Hearing that, Lin Muxi froze. She stared at Mo Ziyang on her sofa with shock all over her face.
She never thought her “good brother” would choose this moment to kick her when she was down.
Yep, that was him, same old devil as always, just waiting for her to fall into his trap.
“I can’t believe you, Mo Ziyang! You’re too shameless!”
Once again falling into Mo Ziyang’s hands, Lin Muxi got angry and embarrassed. She glared at him, not knowing that in his eyes, she looked just like an angry little kitten.
“How about this, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and we’ll call it even.”
“In your dreams, Mo Ziyang! I swear, I’m gonna fight you!”
Hearing Mo Ziyang’s “deal,” Lin Muxi, who was still angry, couldn’t take it anymore.
Thinking about how her so-called good brother had been teasing her nonstop for the past few days, she was already feeling super wronged, and now today, she kept losing to him again and again.
Enough was enough. Mo Ziyang, you’re dead! Even if she couldn’t beat someone who had trained like him, today she was going to grab that phone from his hands!
As soon as she finished talking, Lin Muxi took a quick step forward, jumped up, her slim body making a graceful arc in the air, and lunged straight at the phone in Mo Ziyang’s hand.
If I can just get there!
She didn’t even care that her sudden attack surprised Mo Ziyang. Her eyes were locked on the phone that was getting closer and closer.
But before she could even feel happy, Mo Ziyang’s eyes suddenly focused on her. In a flash, he grabbed her hand with lightning speed.
??? What’s going on?
“Ah!”
Before Lin Muxi could react, he pulled her forward and flipped her over his shoulder, slamming her onto the sofa.
“With skills like that, you think you can mess with me?”
“Mo Ziyang, you jerk! Let me go if you’ve got the guts!”
Pinned on the sofa, Lin Muxi kept twisting and struggling, cursing at him while trying to break free.
Like a prisoner of war being held down, she was completely furious now. She could accept losing, but not being humiliated! Mo Ziyang had gone too far!
“Hss!”
Suddenly, pain shot through the hand holding her. Mo Ziyang let go instantly.
Looking down, he saw a row of teeth marks on his hand. Wow. Lin Muxi had actually bitten him!
“You seriously bit me?”
“Darn right I bit you!”
Before Mo Ziyang could react, Lin Muxi jumped up from the sofa, ready to use her “hungry cat pouncing” skill on him again.
Unfortunately… Ding! Skill failed to activate.
She pushed off with one foot, but it landed on nothing. She lost her balance, falling head-first toward the glass table in front of the sofa.
Oh no! Her heart skipped a beat. Seeing the table right in front of her, she thought, That’s it. I’m done for.
Mo Ziyang saw it too and was shocked. No matter what, she was still his “brother.” Joking around was one thing, but letting her get hurt was another.
He instantly reached out toward where she was falling, hoping to catch her before her head hit the glass.
But he was too late. Even with his speed, his hand only caught the waistband of her pants. Then there was a loud crash of breaking glass and a tearing sound. The glass table shattered, her pants were yanked down, and she lay unconscious on the broken glass with blood running from her head.
“Lin Muxi! Lin Muxi! Wake up!”
Seeing the blood, Mo Ziyang dropped the pants in his hand, ignored the sharp glass on the floor, and rushed to pick her up, shaking her lightly to wake her.
From the anxious look on his face, it was clear he was genuinely worried about her. His usual “I don’t care” attitude was completely gone.
“No… I have to get her to the hospital right now.”
Thinking that, Mo Ziyang gently laid her on the sofa, grabbed a random shirt and a pair of pants from her closet, tied the shirt around her head to stop the bleeding, and then—
…Wait, what?
When he was about to help her change into the new pants, the sight in front of him made even Mo Ziyang, who thought he’d seen it all, freeze in shock.
Why was Lin Muxi's “little brother”… flat?!
No, no! Now was not the time for that thought.
Shaking it off, Mo Ziyang quickly stood up and searched her medicine cabinet, looking for anything else to stop the bleeding.
But after digging around for a while, he found nothing useful. That made him wonder, how had this girl dealt with injuries before?
Inside the cabinet, there was only some cold medicine, alcohol, a few fever reducers, and one opened box of band-aids.
Was she always this thrifty?
Feeling more worried, Mo Ziyang grabbed a handful of tissues and stuffed them into his pocket. Then he ran back to the sofa, put the pants on her, and carried the unconscious Lin Muxi out the door.
Luckily, Mo Ziyang was trained, so holding her small body was as easy as lifting a bottle of water. Running quickly, he soon reached the car parked not far downstairs.
Gently placing her in the passenger seat, Mo Ziyang started the engine and slammed on the gas.
