Chapter 142: Is This Even Human Language!
The car drove through a lively little town, and soon they arrived at the gate of a seaside villa area.
Through the fancy gate, Lin Muxi could clearly see rows of neat villas and well-arranged streets.
This view of the rich people’s area instantly widened her eyes. Forget about the houses, just the environment alone was already far better than where she lived.
Their car quickly stopped beside one of the villas by the sea. The house was only separated from the beach by a small road.
What made it different from the other villas was that there were no houses around it. It looked as if the whole beach in front of it belonged to this one villa.
No way… this is way too luxurious… Lin Muxi couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.
Her guess was soon confirmed when her good bro talked with the uncle.
“Mr. Mo, this is the place. Here’s the key to the villa, and the whole beach in front also belongs to this villa. If there’s anything you need, just call me.” The uncle in the driver’s seat handed over a set of keys.
“Okay, thanks. We’ll head in then.”
After taking the keys and saying thanks, Mo Ziyang lightly tapped the still daydreaming Lin Muxi by the window and held her hand as they got out of the car.
Lin Muxi, like a curious little kid, looked around everywhere. Her small face was filled with joy. After all, the only rich area she had been to before was Mo Ziyang’s own home. Now that she came to another rich neighborhood in a different city, of course she was excited. She even began comparing this place with his home in her head.
But the conclusion she reached was that if this villa area didn’t have the sea, it couldn’t compare to Mo Ziyang’s house at all. His home was basically a huge estate, with gardens and even something like an artificial lake.
Watching Lin Muxi curiously look left and right like someone entering a big fancy garden for the first time, Mo Ziyang couldn’t help but smile proudly.
“These houses must be really expensive, right, Mo Ziyang?”
“One villa is only worth a few tens of millions.”
“…Huh??”
Lin Muxi immediately raised her head with a ‘Are you serious?’ look. What do you mean ONLY a few tens of millions? Is that something normal people say?!
At that price, even if she worked her whole life, or even for hundreds of years, she still wouldn’t be able to afford one.
“What? You think that’s expensive?” Mo Ziyang chuckled, rubbing her little head.
“Not just expensive, it’s ridiculously expensive, okay!” Lin Muxi’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Think about it, that’s like more than 100,000 yuan per square meter on average. With that price, even if I worked for a whole year, I couldn’t even afford one single tile here…”
The more she calculated, the softer her voice became, until she lowered her head like someone who just got hit by reality.
Sure enough, she thought, her good bro and she weren’t from the same world at all.
How could money that she could never earn even in several lifetimes be something he casually described with the words ‘only a few…’?
It made her feel completely powerless. Being poor really is the original sin…
The air suddenly grew quiet. Even Mo Ziyang didn’t understand how this silly girl had managed to talk herself into feeling depressed.
“Dummy, if you could afford it yourself, then why would you need your good bro at all?”
Mo Ziyang reached out and lightly tapped Lin Muxi on the head. His voice carried a bit of complaint, as if blaming her for leaving him out.
“I…”
Hearing this, Lin Muxi suddenly felt warm inside, and her small cheeks slowly turned red and hot.
But even so, every time she saw her good bro spend money on her, she couldn’t help feeling uneasy, afraid that he might be troubled because of her.
After all, she was relying on him every day to support her. In the end, the only way she could “repay” him was with herself, which made her feel like she was just living off him. Thinking of this, Lin Muxi suddenly felt a little unwilling in her heart.
“I… I can make money too… I don’t always need you.”
“I never said you can’t make money. I just worry that someone might take you away from me.”
Facing the silly girl in front of him who was lowering her head, Mo Ziyang spoke gently, like an older brother patiently explaining things to his little sister, with a soft smile on his face.
He knew what Lin Muxi meant, but if possible, he still hoped his little fool could live happily like a princess in the future.
With her personality, if she went out to work, he feared people would just bully her. He didn’t want her running home in tears after work, telling him how she was mistreated.
“I won’t let that happen…” Lin Muxi muttered stubbornly, pouting in protest.
“Oh? Then tell me, who was the one that said if I didn’t pass the exam, you’d just go find someone else?” Mo Ziyang raised his brows and pinched her chubby little cheeks.
“That’s… that’s not what I meant… ow, ow, ow!”
With her cheeks being pinched, Lin Muxi couldn’t even talk clearly. She patted his chest until he finally let go.
Seeing her cute reaction, Mo Ziyang couldn’t help but laugh.
“Alright, don’t overthink. Go change your clothes and let’s have some fun. Tonight I’ll take you to eat barbecue by the sea.” He gave her a light pat on the butt and handed her the key.
Lin Muxi took the key with a bright smile. She then pulled his hand, and together they opened the villa door.
Her summer and beach time had finally begun!
As soon as the door opened, Lin Muxi couldn’t wait. She grabbed Mo Ziyang’s backpack and ran inside, ready to take out her swimsuit.
She had been waiting for this moment for so long, to finally play in the sea. And not only that, she had her good bro by her side. Just thinking about it made her excited.
Not long ago, Lin Muxi had learned a new word, “honeymoon.” She thought it meant when a newlywed couple goes on vacation together.
So by that logic… even though she and her good bro hadn’t married yet, maybe this trip counted in some way?
The thought made her face burn bright red. Her heart started beating wildly as if she had imagined something bold. Even though she was still a little scared of “that kind of thing,” she was slowly starting to look forward to it too.
“Mo Ziyang, here’s your swim shorts.”
After digging through the bag, Lin Muxi pulled out both of their swimsuits and handed his shorts to him.
“Look how impatient you are. Come here, give me a kiss.” Mo Ziyang grinned, leaning his face close to hers.
Not refusing, Lin Muxi quickly gave his cheek a peck, then grabbed her swimsuit and ran off, her blushing face covered with her hands.
Mo Ziyang stood there watching her run away, chuckling to himself.
