Chapter 133: Preparation Before Going to the Sea
The next day.
On the big white bed, the sleeping Lin Muxi suddenly felt like something was missing beside her, which made her heart feel a little empty and uneasy.
Even though she kept rolling around on the bed, she could never find that comfortable feeling she had before.
“Mm… what’s going on…”
Finally, unable to stand it, Lin Muxi lazily turned over, slowly opened her sleepy eyes, and looked around.
Only then did she realize that both sides of the bed were empty. She understood, it was because her good bro had gotten up, and that’s why she couldn’t sleep well.
Ugh… it’s vacation, why did he wake up so early?
Being disturbed in her good sleep, Lin Muxi felt a little upset. Her small brows wrinkled slightly, and then she slowly sat up on the bed.
“Mo Ziyang—!”
As soon as her sweet voice called out, footsteps came from outside the door, and within seconds the door opened.
Mo Ziyang walked in with a bit of surprise still on his face.
He had just gotten up to wash up, so why did this silly girl suddenly wake up?
When he left, he was careful not to make a sound. He had even checked to make sure she was still fast asleep before leaving. Only then did he feel safe going out.
But it turned out that the moment he walked out, she woke up?
“Why are you awake already? Don’t you want to sleep a little longer? It’s still very early.”
Standing at the door, Mo Ziyang looked at the little wife who had just woken up and was now glaring at him with a pouty face, and he couldn’t help but feel confused.
He hadn’t done anything strange while they slept last night, so why was this silly girl staring at him like she wanted to eat him alive?
Could it be… she dreamed that he did something to her, and now she woke up to take revenge?
With that uneasy thought, Mo Ziyang just stood there, waiting for Lin Muxi’s “judgment.”
But to his surprise, Lin Muxi simply opened her arms.
“Hug me… I can’t sleep without you…”
Her words carried a pleading tone, shooting straight into Mo Ziyang’s heart. Her eyes, once full of blame, now looked at him with a soft, almost begging gaze.
Even though it felt embarrassing, for the half-asleep Lin Muxi, nothing was more important than sleeping.
And if there was something more important, it would be sleeping while being hugged by her good bro.
Seeing this, the weight in Mo Ziyang’s heart finally lifted.
With a gentle, indulgent look, he slowly sat back on the bed, pulled Lin Muxi into his arms, and lay down again.
Lin Muxi naturally leaned against his chest.
The warmth from his body calmed her uneasiness, and soon a heavy sleepiness once again filled her head.
Her small body curled up in his arms, looking so tiny and adorable.
Mo Ziyang, like a knight protecting his princess, simply held the little girl quietly.
“Don’t go… stay with me…”
With that small murmur, Lin Muxi completely closed her eyes and drifted back to sleep in her good bro’s embrace.
Even when she was asleep, her little hand was still tightly holding onto Mo Ziyang’s clothes.
“This little one…”
Looking at how clingy Lin Muxi was, Mo Ziyang couldn’t help but smile kindly.
While admiring Lin Muxi’s sleeping face, he reached out his hand to gently move her messy hair, caused by tossing and turning, behind her ear, revealing her delicate little face.
From the way her chest rose and fell with calm breathing, Mo Ziyang could easily tell that Lin Muxi had completely fallen asleep in his arms.
Sigh… if one day I really can’t sleep next to Lin Muxi anymore, this silly girl might not be able to fall asleep the whole night.
Looking at how this silly girl seemed completely unable to leave his side, Mo Ziyang smiled with satisfaction. After giving her little head a soft kiss, he closed his eyes while holding her in his arms.
Since they couldn’t leave anyway, why not sleep a little more together?
Time passed, and soon it was past ten o’clock.
Only then did Lin Muxi finally wake up after having enough sleep. She turned around, her eyes full of love, and looked at her good bro who had been beside her the whole time.
Feeling the movement in his arms, Mo Ziyang also opened his eyes, only to see Lin Muxi smiling brightly at him.
“What are you smiling at? What’s making you so happy?”
He reached out to pinch her little cheek and asked gently.
But Lin Muxi only showed a mysterious smile.
“Guess~”
“I can’t guess.”
“Then come closer, I’ll tell you.”
Seeing how cheerful his silly girl looked, Mo Ziyang became curious about what made her so happy.
So when he leaned closer, Lin Muxi suddenly kissed him on the cheek.
“This is a good morning kiss.”
Her fair little face instantly turned red. She looked shyly at him, as if waiting for his response. After all, this was one of the rare times she took the initiative to kiss him.
But Mo Ziyang, caught off guard by the sudden kiss, froze for a moment.
“W-well… how was it…? Say something…”
Seeing Mo Ziyang still stunned, Lin Muxi’s face grew even redder. She became a little anxious and urged him.
Only then did Mo Ziyang snap out of it, looking at this silly girl in surprise.
Really… now she’s even learning to sneak attack without warning.
Instead of answering, he gently rubbed her little head and whispered in her ear,
“Your pajama is about to slip off.”
“Eh—?”
Following his gaze, Lin Muxi looked down and realized that the straps of her nightdress had already slipped down to her arms.
“You pervert… didn’t you already see enough last night?”
“My wife is so cute. How could I ever have enough of looking?”
“You only know how to tease me…”
With her face red, Lin Muxi quickly fixed her nightdress and waved her little fists to lightly hit her good bro twice, showing her annoyance. Then she sat up on the bed.
“So, when are we going to the beach today?”
She stretched lazily, took a deep breath, and asked her good bro with a bit of excitement.
After all, yesterday they had only played a little in the shallow water near the beach, which wasn’t satisfying at all. If possible, Lin Muxi wanted to go farther into the sea and take a look.
“We can go play after we buy swimsuits in a while,” Mo Ziyang said gently.
“Really? Then hurry, let’s get up and go!”
Hearing that, Lin Muxi jumped out of bed, grabbed his hand, and tried to pull him up.
“Don’t worry, later I’ll take you to a private beach so you can play as much as you want.”
Mo Ziyang rubbed her hair dotingly, then got out of bed too, helping this silly girl get ready to go out.
The seaside in summer was very different from inland areas. Even though the cool sea breeze blew across their faces, it still couldn’t fight against the burning sun in the sky.
If Mo Ziyang hadn’t helped Lin Muxi put on sunscreen before going out, he was afraid that after just one day outside, this silly girl would end up with sunburned skin.
Even Lin Muxi frowned slightly when she looked up at the blazing sun.
“Why is the sun so strong, emmm…”
“Want to use an umbrella? At least it won’t be so hot.”
“An umbrella?” Lin Muxi looked at him with doubt and disbelief, as if asking whether he was joking.
She was supposed to be a man, and even though she was a girl now, there was no way she would be scared of just sunlight, right? In her mind, using an umbrella in summer was something weak people did, she would never stoop that low.
But Mo Ziyang knew very well that with her pale, tender skin, it wasn’t realistic for Lin Muxi to stand under the harsh summer sun for long. And if she really got sunburned, the one who would feel bad would be him.
So, from who-knows-where, Mo Ziyang pulled out a small umbrella, opened it, and firmly shoved it into Lin Muxi’s hand.
“I don’t want it, I’m not using an umbrella.”
But the moment they stepped out of the hotel lobby, Lin Muxi immediately folded up the umbrella he gave her, looking annoyed.
Then, as the sunlight hit her fair skin, she regretted it right away. Her skin felt burning hot, as if chili oil had been smeared on it.
Seeing this silly girl suffer just because she wanted to act tough, Mo Ziyang almost laughed.
“Use it or not? If not, give it back.”
“I’ll use it! Who said I wouldn’t…”
Hearing her good bro tease her, Lin Muxi bit her lip and turned her head away, her little red face showing a mix of cuteness, shyness, and frustration.
So, she opened the umbrella again but, as if to get back at him, she shoved it into Mo Ziyang’s hand, making him hold it for her.
With no choice, Mo Ziyang went along with his unhappy little girlfriend. After all, they were about to go pick swimsuits, and he didn’t want Lin Muxi to be upset before they even got there.
