Chapter 139: Guess What
While chatting in her good bro’s arms, Lin Muxi slowly started to feel sleepy.
Maybe it was because the boy’s embrace was too comfortable, or maybe it was because she felt so safe. Her head began to nod under his gentle gaze, up and down, just like the rare times she used to doze off in class.
But this time, there was no classroom and no teacher, only the boy who had always liked her.
“Sleepy? Do you want to take a nap in bed?”
Looking at the little one wobbling in his arms, Mo Ziyang reached out and gently pinched her cute cheek. It felt soft and nice.
“Mm…” Lin Muxi let out a small sound when he pinched her and slowly opened her sleepy eyes. “A little sleepy… should I go take a nap?”
“You should see what time you got out of bed this morning. If you keep sleeping, you’ll turn into a pig.”
“Doesn’t matter. You said you’ll marry me anyway…”
Half-asleep, Lin Muxi somehow blurted out that line. Then she turned around, stretched out her arms, and locked her hands and feet tightly around Mo Ziyang from behind.
Lying on his chest, she rubbed against him before lifting her head, showing her clear and bright eyes. For a moment, their eyes met. Her pink little face carried a faint smile, as if she was the winner in some little game.
“Since you said it, you have to take responsibility~, or are you planning to abandon me?”
“Alright, alright, I’ll take you to bed, okay?”
Mo Ziyang felt a little embarrassed by her teasing. He wanted to talk back, but realized he couldn’t really handle this silly girl at all.
Could it be that just by nodding off, she unlocked some kind of little demon side?
“Hehe~”
Lin Muxi smiled softly and let him carry her to the bedroom. Even after being placed on the bed, she still refused to loosen her arms and legs around him.
Yes, her real goal was actually to drag him into taking a nap with her.
Because if he wasn’t on the bed, she wouldn’t be able to sleep well. Even her sleep quality would drop a lot.
“I still have things to pack. You can sleep by yourself.”
Looking at her clinging tightly to him on the bed, Mo Ziyang felt helpless. But her pleading little eyes were too powerful, he just couldn’t bring himself to leave.
“Stay with me, Mo Ziyang. When we wake up, I’ll wear a swimsuit for you to see in the room, how about that?”
Sitting up like a duck on the bed, Lin Muxi hugged one of his arms to her chest. No matter what he said, she wouldn’t let go. She even promised to show him her swimsuit in the hotel just to keep him there.
In the end, Mo Ziyang’s heart softened. His cute little girlfriend was looking at him pitifully from the bed, how could he refuse?
Besides, it wasn’t really something urgent. And honestly, being in the hotel with Lin Muxi in a swimsuit didn’t sound bad at all. So he gave in, lifted the blanket, and lay down on the bed.
Truthfully, he wasn’t even interested in the swimsuit right now, he was just really tired.
“Alright, come here, you little one.”
He patted his chest, signaling her to come closer. Lin Muxi immediately pounced onto him, rubbed against him a couple of times, then finally settled down.
Mo Ziyang looked lovingly at the small girl lying on him, gently brushed aside her slightly messy hair, and pulled the blanket over her.
“Go to sleep.”
“Mm…”
Hearing her good bro’s words, Lin Muxi buried her little head into his chest and softly replied. Then she closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.
Mo Ziyang just quietly stayed by her side.
When the little fool in his arms started breathing steadily, he also felt a bit sleepy himself, as if her drowsiness had spread to him.
In the end, after giving Lin Muxi’s forehead a light kiss, Mo Ziyang closed his eyes too. Anyway, he couldn’t go anywhere, so he might as well nap with this silly girl.
………………………………………
The two of them slept like that until a beam of afternoon sunlight slipped through the gap in the not-fully-closed curtains and shone directly onto Lin Muxi’s little face.
“Mm…”
Lying in Mo Ziyang’s arms, Lin Muxi’s eyelids twitched before she slowly opened her eyes.
So comfortable… How long had she slept?
Her body felt soft and relaxed, making her stretch her arms lazily, shaking off all the sleepiness from earlier.
But then…
When she turned her head to look at her good bro, she saw that he was lying there with his mouth slightly open, eyes closed, looking completely asleep.
Hmm…? Was he pretending?
Lin Muxi propped herself up halfway, lying on her side to watch him. But his breathing was steady and his face was relaxed, it really didn’t look like he was awake.
“Mo Ziyang~?”
She called softly, waving her little hand in front of his face, trying to wake him up like that.
But in the end, her conclusion was that her good bro really was asleep.
Since that was the case… a happy smile slowly appeared on Lin Muxi’s face. She carefully slipped out of his arms and crawled out of the blanket.
Before long, Mo Ziyang was woken up by this little girl’s movements.
He felt something wriggling around in his arms, like something trying to crawl back under his blanket. As his awareness returned, he opened his eyes, and saw a little head slowly popping out from under the blanket on his chest.
This surprised him a bit. He hadn’t expected the silly girl to actually wake up earlier than him. But when Lin Muxi’s whole head finally came out and her smiling little face looked up at him, he realized something was off.
The pure white straps of her nightdress had been replaced by swimsuit ties. Even the parts of her sticking out from the blanket no longer showed her dress, only large patches of fair skin.
So this silly girl must have woken up earlier, gone to change into a swimsuit, and then snuck back in to wake him up. Mo Ziyang smiled a little and gently pinched her fair cheek.
“You’re awake, Mo Ziyang.”
Lin Muxi’s face was filled with happiness, a hint of excitement in her clear eyes as she grinned at her good bro, who had just opened his eyes.
At that moment, Mo Ziyang’s playful side was stirred up. Pretending to be annoyed, he asked,
“Where’s your nightdress? What did you sneak off to do while I was sleeping? Tell me the truth.”
“Hehe~ guess~”
Lin Muxi wasn’t afraid of his act at all. After saying that, she immediately pulled the blanket over herself and hid inside it completely.
