Chapter 130: Playing Hard to Get
“Don’t you dare peek. If you peek, I’ll poke your eyes!”
“Relax. Do you really think I’d betray your trust?”
Hearing his promise, Lin Muxi, who was still squatting, finally lowered her guard a little. She turned her head slightly to secretly peek at him.
Seeing that her good bro really had his back to her, facing the wall as if he were being punished, she couldn’t help but find it funny. She even thought about whether she should take her clothes off slowly, just to make him wait longer.
But if she really did that, she worried he might actually peek at her.
After thinking it over, Lin Muxi gave up on this little revenge plan.
In just a few quick moves, she took off her clothes and placed them neatly to the side. Then she gently tugged on Mo Ziyang’s shirt from behind.
“Mo Ziyang… you can… you can turn around now.”
With her soft voice still lingering in the air, Mo Ziyang turned his head only to see a shy girl standing in front of him.
Her small figure was fair and flawless like jade. Her eyes were lowered, her long hair falling loosely over her slim shoulders, making her look especially delicate and lovable.
And at this moment, Lin Muxi lowered her head even more, trying hard to hide her embarrassed expression.
Every time like this, Mo Ziyang had to fight back the strong desire in his heart, afraid that if he lost control, he might devour this silly girl who had no idea how tempting she was.
But today, he decided to resist.
She didn’t want him to touch? Fine. Then he would deliberately not touch her.
He wanted to play hard to get.
So even with such a cute and bashful girl standing right in front of him, Mo Ziyang swallowed hard, calmed his heart, and acted like it was nothing special.
“Alright, get in quickly. What if you catch a cold standing here with no clothes on?”
“Eh…?”
Lin Muxi froze.
Wait a second—this isn’t right, is it?
Wasn’t the “script” supposed to be that her good bro would also take off his clothes and then hug her as they got into the bathtub together?
When she heard Mo Ziyang’s words, she almost doubted her ears.
Or maybe… did her good bro take the wrong medicine?
But no, he wasn’t sick.
Lin Muxi stood there, dazed, overthinking everything. Meanwhile, Mo Ziyang calmly walked past her and started undressing by himself.
Seeing this, Lin Muxi couldn’t help but wonder. Could it be that her small body was no longer interesting to him? Did she lose her charm?
Impossible. Just a moment ago, he was still eager to take off her clothes.
Even if he was upset because she refused, he wouldn’t act like this, would he?
After all, in the past, when the same thing happened, he never treated her like this…
Her heart was full of confusion, unease, and a little panic.
But when she saw that he had already finished undressing, the embarrassed Lin Muxi had no choice but to step into the warm bathtub first. She slowly sat down in the water.
So comfortable…
That was the only thought in her head once she got in.
It felt just like soaking in a hot spring, her whole body was wrapped in gentle warmth.
At that moment, Mo Ziyang casually picked up something from the side. It looked like a box of bath liquid. He opened it and poured it into the tub.
Not long after, bubbles began to appear on the water’s surface. The bath that was just a normal soak now completely turned into a bubble bath.
When he slowly entered the tub, the water level rose again. It immediately covered Lin Muxi’s chest, leaving only her head and slim shoulders above the water.
But what surprised Lin Muxi was not this. It was that after her good bro got in, he didn’t come to hold her in his arms. Instead, he calmly sat down across from her.
This guy… what on earth is he doing? She had already given such obvious hints, yet he still wasn’t moving. Did he really expect her to grab his hand herself and say those super embarrassing words?
For a moment, Lin Muxi felt a little annoyed.
“Hey… Mo Ziyang…”
Her cheeks turned a little red as she looked at him, her voice sounding both wronged and a little complaining.
But Mo Ziyang only let out a small, hidden smile at the corner of his lips.
“So, how is it? Does the bath feel good?”
“Um… i-it’s… nice…”
Hearing his question, the words that were about to come out of Lin Muxi’s mouth got swallowed back. She could only quickly change her answer. Because of this, her little face instantly looked full of grievance.
Of course, Mo Ziyang noticed her thoughts, but he still forced himself to hold back his excitement. After all, in his heart he felt the right time was coming soon.
“You can lie down, rest your head on the side, and close your eyes to relax.”
After saying this calmly, Mo Ziyang put a towel on the edge of the tub. Then, right in front of Lin Muxi, he leaned his head on it and closed his eyes as if he was resting.
Wait… that’s it?
That’s all…?
Where was the part she had been waiting for?
At this point, Lin Muxi even wondered if her good bro had been possessed, like in some novels. Just a moment ago he was touching her, and now, even though she was sitting right in front of him, he acted like a piece of wood.
Could it really be that he disliked her small body? But he had clearly said before that she was “just right” and that he liked her.
Feeling wronged and unwilling, Lin Muxi crawled closer to Mo Ziyang, her face burning with embarrassment as she stared at him. The movement of her body stirred the water, which of course woke up Mo Ziyang from his fake resting.
“What’s wrong?” he asked, pretending to be confused while secretly enjoying the moment.
“You…” Seeing his calm look, Lin Muxi lowered her head again. Her heart sank, and even the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat.
“This… this isn’t how it’s supposed to be…”
Hearing this, Mo Ziyang suddenly chuckled.
“What are you laughing at…” Lin Muxi said in a wronged tone.
“Didn’t you say we were just here to bathe, and that I wasn’t allowed to touch you? I’m doing exactly what you said. Now you’re the one upset,” Mo Ziyang teased.
Then he reached out and gently lifted her wet hair, revealing her small red face. Whether it was from the hot bath or her feelings, Lin Muxi’s little face was glowing red, the blush spreading all the way to her ears.
“I… you clearly know… that’s not what I meant…”
Being teased like this, Lin Muxi lowered her head even more. The shame of feeling like she was being publicly exposed made her want to just dunk her head underwater and hide.
“Oh? That’s not what you meant?”
Mo Ziyang chuckled again, then gently lifted her chin with his hand.
“But I really don’t know… so, could my dear wife tell me what you actually mean?”
His deep eyes locked onto Lin Muxi’s blushing face, and a sly smile spread across his lips.
