Chapter 78: Who Said I’m Going to Be Your Wife?
“Mo Ziyang~?”
Seeing that her good bro was ignoring her, Lin Muxi turned around in confusion, only to find him lying still beside her with his eyes closed.
Was he asleep?
With that thought, Lin Muxi quietly moved closer and poked his cheek, trying to get his attention or wake him up.
But Mo Ziyang stayed there, breathing steadily, not moving at all.
Huh? No reaction? Could it be that he really fell asleep?
Lin Muxi blinked her eyes in surprise.
After all, in her memory, except for the time when he had a head injury, she had almost never seen Mo Ziyang sleep at school.
Thinking about it now, she suddenly felt a little guilty…
Today, not only had Mo Ziyang protected her, he had also taken care of her the whole morning. Anyone would be exhausted after running around like that, not to mention she sometimes even threw little tantrums at him.
With that in mind, she could understand why he had fallen asleep.
Looking at the tired Mo Ziyang, she went back to her room and brought out a small blanket. She gently placed it over him, then quietly sat beside him, watching his sleeping face.
His fair and clean skin, sharp and handsome features, deep black eyes, attractive look, thick eyebrows, and straight nose…
She had to admit, her good bro really had the face of a rich, good-looking young master.
But… something felt strange.
Black eyes?
When she realized it, Lin Muxi froze, Mo Ziyang was already awake, staring straight at her with those black eyes.
“You…”
Before he could speak, he noticed the little blanket covering him.
“This… I was just afraid you’d catch a cold while sleeping, so I went to get you a blanket…”
Seeing him look at the blanket, Lin Muxi hurried to explain in a panic. Her nervous tone came from worrying he might think she was playing some prank and punish her again.
Mo Ziyang stared at her clear eyes for a moment, then simply reached out and gently patted her head.
“Thanks.”
Actually, Mo Ziyang had already woken up when she first poked his face. Even when she went to fetch the blanket, he saw everything clearly. He never thought this silly girl could also take care of someone at times.
Being praised by him, Lin Muxi couldn’t help but feel a little excited.
After all, these past days, it had always been Mo Ziyang helping and looking after her. Now, she had finally taken care of him for once. That gave her a small sense of achievement.
“If you’re tired, just rest for a while. I’m not in much pain now, it’s fine.” She patted her chest lightly, speaking with confidence.
“What do you mean ‘pain or not’? Go get me another bowl of sweet soup.”
“Oh…”
Mo Ziyang gave her a glare, and only after watching her walk into the kitchen did he finally let out a small sigh.
Turning his gaze to the little blanket on him, he went into a daze for a moment.
To him, it was truly unexpected. He had never imagined there would be a day when a girl would take care of him.
Even if this “girl” was actually his so-called good bro.
The scene warmed his heart a little, and he even started to wonder what life would be like if one day he and Lin Muxi were really together.
As his thoughts drifted further and further, Lin Muxi’s voice suddenly pulled him back.
“What are you thinking about?”
She was holding the empty bowl of brown sugar water, tilting her head with a curious look.
“Just thinking.”
“Oh…”
Lin Muxi put down the bowl, sat beside him, and picked up her phone.
“Won’t you ask me what I’m thinking about?”
Mo Ziyang glanced at Lin Muxi beside him, raising his eyebrows a little. He was clearly surprised that she didn’t keep asking.
“If I ask, you’ll just make me guess again.” Lin Muxi said helplessly.
Last time, when she tried that trick on him, she ended up being “teased” by her good bro.
“Then… do you want to know?”
Emmm.
What kind of question was that?
It sounded like even if she said yes, he still wouldn’t tell her. But after a short inner struggle, Lin Muxi decided to just follow her heart.
“I want to know. So, what are you thinking?”
Leaning closer, she waited curiously for her good bro’s answer.
Seeing that this little fool had taken the bait, Mo Ziyang only smiled slightly and then leaned close to her ear, whispering mischievously.
“I’m thinking about when I can finally marry this little fool and bring her home.”
“???”
What the heck! How was that a serious thought?
She quickly pushed him away, her face turning red, staring at her good bro whose face was full of a mischievous grin.
“You’re teasing me again!”
She realized she had been tricked once more and pouted angrily.
But even so, Lin Muxi couldn’t help but think a little about what he said. For example, she had already admitted to herself that she liked her good bro, and she had also accepted being a girl.
But when it came to that kind of thing… she still couldn’t fully handle it, whether physically or mentally.
Especially since she knew her good bro would definitely be on top in the future…
Looking at the stunned Lin Muxi, Mo Ziyang still spoke gently.
“Whether I’m teasing or not, you know best, don’t you?”
After saying that, he patted the spot beside him, signaling her to sit down.
“Come here.”
Seeing that he wanted her to sit next to him, Lin Muxi didn’t resist and obediently moved over.
Right after that, Mo Ziyang just lay down, resting his head on her fair thighs.
Looking at her good bro’s satisfied expression, Lin Muxi couldn’t help but ask.
“Is it comfortable?”
“Pretty comfortable.” Mo Ziyang replied, looking up at her.
It was a little ticklish, but still fine.
Lin Muxi didn’t mind anymore and just let him rest on her lap. After all, he had taken care of her for so long, giving him a lap pillow wasn’t too much.
But somehow, she suddenly remembered what he just said about marrying her.
“Hey, Mo Ziyang, will you really marry me?”
She lowered her head, staring into his dark eyes, trying to find an answer there.
But Mo Ziyang didn’t give a straight answer. Instead, he just smiled and said one word.
“Guess~”
Hearing that, Lin Muxi almost rolled her eyes. So basically, he just didn’t want her to know.
Unwilling to give up, she lightly touched his chest with her hand and asked another soul-question.
“Then… do you want me?”
“Yes. But not now.”
Without hesitation, Mo Ziyang admitted it openly.
Lin Muxi widened her eyes in surprise. This time, he didn’t dodge the question!
So her good bro had already been thinking about this all along!
Her heart skipped, her face turned red, and for a moment she didn’t know how to reply.
“Before I marry you, I won’t touch you. Okay?”
Mo Ziyang reached up and pinched her cheeks gently, calling her the silly girl who always overthought things.
Blushing, Lin Muxi turned her eyes away shyly.
“Who said anything about marrying you… who wants to be your wife anyway…”
Mo Ziyang just smiled silently.
They hadn’t even been like this for long, and he was already talking about marriage. At this rate, would they be discussing having kids right after the college entrance exams?
