Chapter 54: I Changed My Mind
“You… you didn’t even wash before changing into that?”
Seeing Lin Muxi pout as she sat down next to him, Mo Ziyang felt a little confused.
Especially since she had just been fine a few minutes ago, and now suddenly changed her face. It made him curious about what this silly girl had done in the room.
“Do I really look that stupid to you?”
Turning her head, Lin Muxi gave him a dissatisfied glance, clearly protesting against Mo Ziyang treating her like some fool.
Mo Ziyang looked at her seriously for a moment, then pretended to think before answering, “Sometimes, yes, you are pretty dumb.”
“Get lost! You’re the dumb one!”
Realizing her good bro had underestimated her, Lin Muxi threw a little punch at Mo Ziyang.
But unfortunately, without Mo Ziyang’s permission, her tiny fist could never land on him. His big hand easily caught it and held it tight.
“Heh, with that strength, you still want to hit me?”
“Let go, let go! I’m mad now!”
Seeing that she couldn’t punish her buddy, Lin Muxi puffed her cheeks, her whole face showing how wronged she felt.
Looking at her acting like a sulky little girl about to make a fuss, Mo Ziyang had no choice but to release her small fist.
“So silly.”
“I’m not silly!”
The two glared at each other, neither willing to give in.
Only when Lin Muxi’s expression softened a little did Mo Ziyang reach out and rub her head, asking,
“Alright, tell me, what did you come here for?”
“Eh? How did you know?”
Lin Muxi looked surprised, clearly not expecting her little scheme to be exposed so easily.
“With the way you’re acting, what else could it be? No one comes here without a reason.”
Mo Ziyang spoke patiently while rubbing her head, which made Lin Muxi feel a little strange.
Normally he was either cold or sneaky, but today he was suddenly being so gentle with her.
She was right, this guy Mo Ziyang definitely had feelings for her.
Tsk, tsk, tsk… so even a stone-cold guy like him could fall for someone.
But why did it have to be her of all people…
Lin Muxi didn’t think further. She waved her little hand, slapped his hand away from her head, and stood up.
Under Mo Ziyang’s surprised gaze, she suddenly turned and sat right on his lap. Her clear eyes locked straight onto his.
“You—”
But before he could finish, Lin Muxi pressed her hand against his mouth.
“Mo Ziyang, answer me! Do you like me?”
Normally, guys think pretty straightforwardly, but Mo Ziyang clearly didn’t expect Lin Muxi to ask this question.
But her words meant she must have already figured out what he meant back when he spoke in the car.
“Yes.”
Without hesitation, Mo Ziyang looked straight at her and calmly gave his answer.
“Wait… You didn’t even think about it?”
Lin Muxi froze.
Even though she had already guessed the answer, hearing it made her heart skip a beat.
It was exactly as she thought.
“But I’m your best buddy… Mo Ziyang.”
Looking at his calm face, Lin Muxi suddenly lost her confidence. She lowered her head, speaking in a soft, wronged voice.
Mo Ziyang looked at the lovely Lin Muxi in front of him and patiently said, “Mm, I know.”
“You clearly said you would never have thoughts about me.”
“Mm, I did say that.”
“Then why are you doing this now…”
“Because I changed my mind.”
???
Lin Muxi could hardly believe her eyes or ears. She lifted her head, staring at Mo Ziyang with total shock.
Since when did her good bro become so shameless… and so bold to admit it right to her face?
How could she stand this?!
“Mo Ziyang! I really misjudged you! I treated you as my brother, but you actually want me to be your wife!”
Feeling tricked and played around by her buddy, Lin Muxi angrily raised her fist and hit Mo Ziyang on the chest.
This time, Mo Ziyang didn’t stop her. He just let her vent her anger on him.
Only after a while, when she got tired, did Mo Ziyang sitting there let out a small smile.
Then, under Lin Muxi’s confused eyes, he grabbed her hand and gently pulled her.
“Ahhh!”
With no strength left, the silly girl was easily pulled into Mo Ziyang’s arms.
In an instant, Lin Muxi turned bright red like a boiling kettle. She quickly struggled out of his arms.
“Mo Ziyang!”
“I’m here.”
“You… you get out! You’re not welcome here anymore!”
Blushing with shame, Lin Muxi stood in front of him and pointed at her front door, clearly kicking him out.
Sigh… looks like this is the limit of how close I can get to her today.
Mo Ziyang gave a quiet sigh, but he was actually happier than he expected.
He had thought that just holding Lin Muxi’s hand or touching her foot would already be the most he could hope for. But today, this silly girl actually sat on his lap.
Still, looking at her now, so angry and flustered, he could only give up and obediently walk out the door.
“He finally… left…”
Hearing the door shut, Lin Muxi collapsed onto the sofa, trying to calm her fast-beating heart and the wild, fluttering feeling inside her.
Oh no… she had just been hugged by her good bro!
Even though she had been hugged before, this time was completely different.
This time it was clearly him teasing her on purpose. So shameless!
And what scared her more was that, just like before, her heart actually felt excited. That made her panic.
From all the novels she had read, this kind of feeling usually meant… she was starting to fall.
No, no… I can’t think like that…
Lying on the sofa, her mind started spinning, and she even began imagining sweet, romantic scenes of being with Mo Ziyang in the future.
“Ahhh! So annoying!”
She jumped up from the sofa, grabbed her head in frustration, then picked up some clean clothes. She also took out the new underwear she bought, grabbed a towel, and went into the bathroom.
As the shower water ran down, Lin Muxi slowly regained her broken sense of reason.
She lowered her head and stared at her body. The body that, in the past, would have made the old her excited.
But now, she felt no joy at all.
Even though she had already lived in this body for a while, whenever she looked at her new parts, she always felt a little resistant.
It wasn’t that she hated it… but with these on her body, didn’t that mean someone else would enjoy it later?
To put it simply, wouldn’t that just be giving Mo Ziyang an advantage?
“Sigh… Don’t tell me I’m really going to end up stuck with Mo Ziyang for the rest of my life.”
Her wet hair hung down on both sides, covering her blushing little face and her deeply conflicted expression.
Thinking about the past and worrying about the future, Lin Muxi rubbed shampoo and shower gel all over her body, then closed her eyes to rinse.
Still, from every angle, being liked by Mo Ziyang really was like she must have saved the galaxy in her past life.
Her bro wasn’t just handsome, but also rich, smart, and came from a great family.
She really had nothing to complain about.
But she just didn’t want to accept it so easily… she didn’t want to give herself away for nothing.
“Argh… Even if I really do fall for him, it has to be him who makes the first move!”
Splashing water off her face, Lin Muxi opened her eyes, encouraging herself. Her lost and confused mood suddenly turned into burning determination.
