Chapter 144: Played Too Much
“You’re already this grown-up and still playing with sand.”
Mo Ziyang appeared behind Lin Muxi with a faint smile on his face, teasing her.
Even though she looked a little childish, just like a kid, he didn’t mind at all. In fact, Mo Ziyang liked this side of Lin Muxi, with her little bit of childlike playfulness.
Lin Muxi, who had just been tapped lightly on the head, turned around after hearing his teasing. She frowned and gave him a resentful little look, as if she was very unwilling to accept what he said.
“What? Did the sand annoy you, or did I?” Lin Muxi replied unhappily.
After all, one of her happiest memories as a child was playing in the sand.
Besides, weren’t there also adults playing by the beach just now? So what was wrong with her playing at her age?
Seeing Lin Muxi react exactly as he expected, Mo Ziyang couldn’t help but laugh.
“What’s so funny, idiot Mo Ziyang!”
“Alright, come here and put on some sunscreen first. What if you get tanned?”
Not teasing his little fool anymore, Mo Ziyang sat down on a lounge chair, took the sunscreen out of the bag, and waved for Lin Muxi to come over.
After all, having such a fair and cute little wife, he had to take good care of her.
But…
“Ah… but the sun isn’t that strong now.”
Hearing him, Lin Muxi tilted her head and looked up at the sky in confusion.
Compared to the burning hot noon, the sunlight now was much softer, and the sea breeze by the shore made her feel extra cool and comfortable.
Still, Lin Muxi obediently sat down next to him, blinking her eyes at her “good bro.”
“Dummy, what if my fair little wife gets sunburned?”
Seeing her cute and dazed face, Mo Ziyang couldn’t help but reach out and pinch her cheek.
“W-who… who’s your little wife…”
The moment he called her that, Lin Muxi’s face turned red.
She didn’t actually dislike it. In fact, she secretly liked him calling her that, but her skin was too thin. Every time she heard it, her face burned up.
Blushing hard, Lin Muxi hit Mo Ziyang with her little fist in revenge and quickly turned her head away.
“You’re always bullying me…”
“I can’t help it, I just love you too much.”
“Hmph!”
Turning her head away with her lips pouted, Lin Muxi made a little snort. She looked angry, but in reality, she was just hiding the little bit of happiness in her heart.
She knew that her good bro always teased her like this.
But even so, Lin Muxi still blushed hard every time, her heart pounding nonstop.
Seeing this shy Lin Muxi, Mo Ziyang’s eyes softened with affection. He squeezed some sunscreen into his hand and patted the lounge chair beside him.
“Don’t be mad, come here. I’ll help you put on sunscreen. Once I’m done, you can go play again.”
Lin Muxi turned her head and looked at him. Even though she was worried that he might touch her randomly, she still obediently lay down on the lounge chair.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t accept him touching her. She just didn’t like the idea of strangers nearby watching.
After spreading the sunscreen in his hands, Mo Ziyang gently placed both palms on Lin Muxi’s slender waist.
But even though Lin Muxi had already prepared herself, the moment his hands touched her body, she still froze up, and her slim waist started to tremble lightly.
“M-Mo Ziyang… slow down…”
The ticklish feeling spread through her body, tugging at her heart, and she had no choice but to beg him softly.
For a girl like her, the area under her arms, her ribs, and her waist were all ticklish and very sensitive.
And right now, she was wearing a swimsuit. Her small body and his hands touched directly with no barrier at all. On top of that, his hands felt like they had some “special power” against her, making her bite her lip and twist her body a little in just a short while.
“Ugh~ slower, Mo Ziyang… it’s too ticklish…”
Looking at her trembling waist under his hands, Mo Ziyang’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a playful, mischievous smile appeared on his face.
No idea why… but suddenly, he wanted to tease Lin Muxi again.
The next moment, Lin Muxi felt something tickling her, and the feeling came exactly from the side of her slim waist.
“Hahaha! Mo Ziyang, you… don’t! Stop it, hurry! Hahaha…”
Seeing the little fool under him struggling so hard, Mo Ziyang only got even more excited.
The result was Lin Muxi kicking, waving her hands, struggling all over, and begging loudly for him to stop. Finally, when she was let go, she collapsed weakly on the beach chair, looking like she had been completely worn out.
Laughing, Mo Ziyang began putting sunscreen on her legs and arms before sitting down beside her.
It was just too funny, this little girl had even tried to flip over to grab his hand while struggling, and at one point she even tried to bite him with her tiny sharp teeth.
After wiping his hands clean, Mo Ziyang gently patted Lin Muxi’s head, wanting to comfort her.
After all, he admitted he had gone a little too far. She had twisted around on the lounge chair like a little slippery fish.
“Lin Muxi…” Mo Ziyang called softly, with a trace of guilt, to the pouting girl lying on the chair.
“I’m angry… how can you bully your girlfriend like this? You always bully me like that…”
Feeling so wronged, Lin Muxi didn’t move at all. Her voice even sounded a little like she was about to cry.
She really didn’t understand, she hadn’t done anything, yet her good bro suddenly bullied her like this. It was just too much!
And what’s worse, even when she had already begged him loudly to stop, he still wouldn’t let her go.
Mo Ziyang didn’t know what to do. He finally pulled her into his arms, making her sit on his lap.
“I was wrong, Lin Muxi. I’m sorry.”
But Lin Muxi stayed quiet, ignoring him.
After all, last time he had also told her, “I couldn’t hold back, it won’t happen again,” yet here he was, doing it again.
He always apologized, but never changed.
Thinking of this made her feel even more wronged. Her nose stung, and she started choking up.
Oh no, I messed up this time…
Mo Ziyang never expected that Lin Muxi would really cry because of him. She was his precious treasure, and seeing her like this made him panic. He hurried to explain.
“Don’t cry, Lin Muxi. I really just couldn’t help it for a moment…”
“You said the same thing last time…”
Finally, after holding in her anger for so long, Lin Muxi said a single sentence. Mo Ziyang didn’t even know how to reply, so he could only comfort her helplessly.
“Be good, don’t be mad, alright? Forgive me this time, and I’ll even let you tickle me.”
Hearing this, Lin Muxi finally turned her face slightly, her eyes already red.
That sight made Mo Ziyang’s heart ache so much.
Teasing his wife felt fun at the moment, but chasing after her forgiveness felt like punishment in hell. Mo Ziyang finally understood that saying.
Lin Muxi’s personality was soft, especially with him. No matter what he did, she usually forgave him. Except when she was really, truly hurt, like now.
“Look at you, your eyes are all red. Please don’t cry anymore, alright? If a girl cries too much, she won’t look pretty.”
Mo Ziyang’s face was full of pain, and of course Lin Muxi could see it.
But hearing his words only made her nose sting more, and before she could stop it, a tear slid down her cheek.
Seeing this, Mo Ziyang was at a loss. He quickly hugged her tightly in his arms, patting her back gently as if comforting a little child.
“It’s all your fault, Mo Ziyang…”
“Yes, all my fault…”
After a long while, when Lin Muxi finally calmed down a little, Mo Ziyang released his embrace.
She sat in his lap, looking up into his eyes. Her small gaze was still full of grievance.
But with the wide sea before them, the cool sea breeze blowing, and the warmth of his arms around her, Lin Muxi’s heart began to soften. Even though she still felt wronged, there was a shimmer of something else in her eyes.
“Kiss me, or I won’t forgive you…” Lin Muxi said in a spoiled, unhappy tone.
“As you wish, my dear wife.” Mo Ziyang smiled.
