Chapter 117: Surprise
Just when Mo Ziyang was still wondering what this silly girl was trying to do, Lin Muxi suddenly grabbed his hand and placed it on her chest.
This action shocked Mo Ziyang so much that he immediately pulled his hand back. He was about to scold her and ask what she was thinking, but then he saw Lin Muxi’s clueless expression, as if he was the one in the wrong.
He guessed that Lin Muxi must have misunderstood, but he never expected her to think that way, and to be so bold about it. She really had no idea what he actually wanted.
Mo Ziyang sighed. Sometimes he really wanted to open up her strange little head and see what was inside.
“You silly girl… I just wanted you to give me a kiss. Lin Muxi, how could you think of something like that?”
“Eh?! W-wah—ouch ouch ouch!”
Before she could turn into her usual “steamy embarrassed mode,” Lin Muxi got a flick on the forehead from her good bro. She held her head and looked at him with a face full of shame, anger, and confusion.
“Why didn’t you say so? Knock your head! Who would know what you wanted just from your face?”
Lin Muxi was a little angry. Even though her face was red and she looked embarrassed, she still tried to talk back.
She had taken a long time to prepare herself, finally gathering the courage to grab his hand, only for it to turn out like this?
Not only did she get flicked, but she also misunderstood his meaning… she thought he wanted to touch her.
Ahhhh! She had completely embarrassed herself!
Mo Ziyang, however, found her reaction very funny. Seeing Lin Muxi so shy and flustered was just too amusing.
He leaned close to her red ear and whispered softly, “No rush. After we go home, we’ll have plenty of time.”
Then he went off to buy the tablet, leaving Lin Muxi standing there, embarrassed and in a mess.
“Plenty of time after going home?”
Didn’t that mean when they got back, Mo Ziyang wanted to… do it again?
Muttering that line to herself, Lin Muxi suddenly realized what he meant. Her face grew even redder, mixed with panic. It was like she wanted to run away, but at the same time, there was a tiny bit of… expectation.
Wait—what? Why was she even expecting anything?
Who would ever look forward to being bullied by that bad guy?
The moment the thought appeared, Lin Muxi was shocked by herself. She couldn’t understand why she would even think that way.
Because there were so many people around, and she couldn’t hide her blushing face anymore, Lin Muxi had no choice but to sit on a chair nearby, trying hard to calm her emotions.
A few minutes later, Mo Ziyang came back. What caught her attention right away was the shopping bag in his hand.
“Want to open it? See if it’s the one you wanted.”
He walked up to her, bent down, and took out the box from the bag, placing it on her lap. Inside was the tablet, along with the pen and the little keyboard.
Finally, a look of pure joy appeared on her red cheeks.
Holding the box, Lin Muxi’s little hands trembled slightly as she opened it. She took out the silver-white tablet that her good bro had bought for her.
The silver frame looked beautiful under the lights, and the dark screen reflected her delicate face.
The more she looked at it, the more she loved it.
In the past, forget about a tablet, she wouldn’t even dare dream about getting a brand-new phone that cost just one or two thousand yuan.
Even though before this she had “sold herself out” to get some money from her good bro, Lin Muxi had honestly put it all into her bank card without touching a single cent.
Seeing Lin Muxi so happy hugging the new tablet, Mo Ziyang finally felt relieved. A little money wasn’t important. As long as it could make Lin Muxi happy, then the money was more than worth it.
“Do you like it?” Mo Ziyang asked with a cheerful smile, gently rubbing her head.
“Of course I do.” Lin Muxi didn’t hide her joy and admitted it openly.
After carefully putting the tablet away, she stood up, jumped, and wrapped her arms around his neck. Mo Ziyang smoothly caught her in his arms.
But before he could say anything, Lin Muxi had already pressed her lips against his first.
It was only a light kiss, like a dragonfly touching water, but right after she quickly turned her face away, cheeks burning red, and asked in a shy voice.
“H-how… how is it… are you satisfied now?”
She didn’t dare look at him and just let herself stay in his arms.
Mo Ziyang laughed.
Was he satisfied? He was more than satisfied.
Lin Muxi taking the initiative wasn’t just rare. It was almost unheard of. Usually, it was either him taking the lead, or him begging and coaxing for a long time until Lin Muxi reluctantly cooperated.
Thinking of this made him excited. But while giving her this gift, he also remembered what Lin Muxi had promised him earlier, so he held back his impulse and whispered.
“I’m very satisfied. I just wonder what gift my wife has prepared for me.”
Hearing this, Lin Muxi’s body suddenly froze, and her face stiffened.
Only then did she remember she had promised her good bro on the way yesterday that she would give him a “mystery gift.”
With no idea what to do, Lin Muxi could only answer with a blushing face.
“You’ll… you’ll know when we get home…”
Of course, she knew what he was hinting at. To be honest, it was just that thing again. But she thought, ‘Fine, if I thicken my skin, I can deal with it.’
Mo Ziyang smiled at her response.
Just like that, with the new tablet in her arms, they drove home right away.
But the whole ride, Lin Muxi didn’t say a single word. Even when they reached home and she opened the door, she still kept her head lowered, her face completely red.
In Mo Ziyang’s eyes, she looked exactly like a shy little wife preparing to act cute.
But after they put their things down, before Mo Ziyang could ask anything, Lin Muxi suddenly spoke first.
“Why don’t we order takeout for dinner tonight?”
“Sure, let’s order a pizza then.”
Mo Ziyang could feel something strange about her mood, but he couldn’t figure out what this silly girl was planning, so he just agreed.
But before he could even sit down, Lin Muxi pulled his hand and dragged him toward the bathroom.
“What’s this? It’s not even night yet, and you’re already rushing me to take a shower?”
“Don’t… don’t ask. Just go wash first…”
From her shy tone, Mo Ziyang could already guess. And when he saw her red ears as she pulled him along, he was almost certain what this silly girl was up to.
Faced with Lin Muxi being so active like this, Mo Ziyang couldn’t help feeling excited inside, and so he didn’t reject her suggestion.
After grabbing his clothes and stepping into the bathroom, he even started to look forward to what kind of surprise this little fool of his would prepare for him later.
Especially when he thought of Lin Muxi’s small, delicate body without a single piece of clothing, and her shy face appearing in his arms. Just that thought alone made even “little Mo Ziyang” stand up at once.
It was really too much… just imagining it made his blood boil.
Mo Ziyang quickly turned the water cold and splashed it on his head, even giving himself a slap, trying hard not to think about those things.
But before he could push the thoughts away, he suddenly saw a familiar figure outside the bathroom door. That small and graceful figure hesitated at the door for a while before finally stopping in front of the glass door.
While Mo Ziyang was still wondering what this little fool was doing outside, the bathroom door suddenly opened without warning, it was Lin Muxi.
“Lin Muxi, you…!”
Mo Ziyang was shocked. He clearly didn’t expect her to actually open the bathroom door.
Right now Lin Muxi’s face was as red as a ripe apple, and all of her clothes were already gone. Her small body was only covered by a thin little towel.
“On… only today.” Standing at the door, embarrassed to the extreme, Lin Muxi spoke with a shy voice.
She held the towel tightly against her chest and, ignoring Mo Ziyang’s dumbfounded stare, walked toward him on her pale, slender legs, her face burning red as she tried to stay calm.
But just as she finally squeezed herself next to him, the cold shower water made her yelp loudly, and the towel covering her chest fell to the floor.
“Waaah! Why are you showering with cold water? Are you a monster?!”
Hearing her cry out, Mo Ziyang finally snapped out of his shock. He quickly pulled Lin Muxi’s soft, slim waist toward him and adjusted the water to a proper warm temperature.
Looking at her smooth, fair body pressed against him, the fire he had just managed to put out suddenly burned up again.
Holding his wife in his arms while showering, who could possibly endure this?
If not for his hesitation, he would have already devoured this teasing little fool completely without holding back.
Lin Muxi also seemed to realize that her towel had slipped off, so she quickly bent down to pick it up.
And then…
Her smooth body suddenly bumped into something. In that instant, the bathroom became completely silent.
After a long pause, Mo Ziyang finally broke the awkward silence.
“Lin… Lin Muxi, I can explain, I mean… let me explain…”
“Shut up!” Lin Muxi forced herself to hold back the overwhelming shame and said, “Only… only for today… it’s okay.”
“So this is the surprise you were talking about?”
Mo Ziyang suddenly understood, his lips lifting into a smile, his heart beating faster with excitement.
“Mhm…” Lin Muxi, already holding the towel again, leaned into his arms and gave a tiny reply, her voice almost like a mosquito.
But taking the initiative to throw herself into his arms like this, it was just too embarrassing…
If she could, Lin Muxi really wanted to find a hole in the ground and hide in it immediately.
But sadly, Mo Ziyang wouldn’t let her do that, and there was no hole for her to hide in anyway.
There was no other way, this was the only way she could think of to reward him.
Then from inside the bathroom came the sounds…
“Still… still not done yet? My hands are already sore…”
“Wifey, just a little more effort.”
“…”
“Mmm, I'm so lucky to have my wife.”
“Ahh! Where exactly are your hands touching…”
……………………………………
When the bathroom door opened again, a wave of steam drifted out.
Lin Muxi, now in a white nightdress, looked so weak that her legs couldn’t even hold her weight anymore. She could only let her “good bro” pick her up in a princess carry.
At first, Lin Muxi didn’t really mind. But Mo Ziyang’s hands were not honest, they slipped under her skirt.
What made it worse was that, to give him a surprise, she had only brought that one thin white nightdress into the bathroom. Right now, she wasn’t wearing anything underneath.
“You… you’ve gone too far. I’ve already been bullied by you so much, do you even have a conscience?”
Her face flushed with shame and anger, Lin Muxi weakly smacked Mo Ziyang’s chest with her soft little hands, as if letting out her embarrassment.
She had just helped him in the bathroom, but right after, Mo Ziyang turned around and bullied her instead. It was so unfair! And now he was still taking advantage of her—too mean!
Even so, a small smile still slipped across her blushing face. Without realizing it, she was liking this man in front of her more and more.
Mo Ziyang didn’t argue back. He only smiled and squeezed her soft waist, which made Lin Muxi start hitting and kicking him again in protest.
“Are you hungry? The delivery should be here already. Want to eat dinner first?”
He kissed her on the forehead, which finally made the angry little girl in his arms quiet down.
Seeing Lin Muxi nod, he gently placed her on the bed and went to the door to get the pizza.
Lin Muxi didn’t stay idle either. She sat on the bed and started drying her hair with the hair dryer.
When her eyes wandered toward the wardrobe, she noticed a pair of white knee socks that Mo Ziyang had once personally put on her a while ago.
Suddenly, a thought popped into her mind.
She grew curious, if she wore those white socks again, what kind of reaction would her good bro show?
As she thought about it, Lin Muxi’s lips curled into a proud little smile. She put down the hair dryer, picked up the socks, and slowly pulled them over her pale feet.
For the first time, she carefully looked at her own little feet.
They were small, soft, and very fair. Once wrapped in the white socks, under the light, they looked almost like scoops of vanilla ice cream.
Lin Muxi was completely satisfied. With legs like these, she was certain she could drive her good bro crazy tonight.
Just then, she heard his voice calling from outside for her to come eat.
“Lin Muxi, hurry up once you finish drying your hair. I ordered a lot of your favorite food.”
“My legs are weak, you dummy!”
As soon as she shouted that, she heard hurried footsteps rushing toward her room.
