Chapter 146: Be a Little Gentle
The two of them kept playing on the beach until the sky was painted with a fiery red sunset.
Completely worn out, Lin Muxi lay flat on a beach towel, sunglasses on her face, a sun umbrella beside her, and a cold soda in her hand. She looked like the picture of relaxation.
It was at this moment that Lin Muxi finally understood why rich people loved to go on vacations so much.
Just one afternoon of playing around with her good bro had nearly exhausted her. Now, her small body felt weak all over, as if it might fall apart at any second.
But as she gazed at the sun slowly sinking below the horizon, her stomach began to protest with little growls, almost as if scolding her for playing so wildly on the beach.
“Mo Ziyang, what are we going to eat tonight?”
Having burned so much energy, Lin Muxi was already a little hungry. She slowly sat up on the beach towel and looked at her good bro with a questioning expression.
But her eyes were different, hidden in them was a faint trace of excitement and expectation.
Yes, right now her heart was pounding with anticipation, waiting for her good bro to surprise her.
Although she tried to hide it, Mo Ziyang easily caught that little look in her eyes. He knew her thoughts far too well. After all, he had already told her earlier that he would take her to eat barbecue by the sea tonight.
It seemed that this silly girl was simply too hungry and couldn’t wait any longer.
Lying on the sand with sunglasses on, enjoying the glow of the sunset, Mo Ziyang couldn’t help but smile. He sat up, stretching lazily as he spoke.
“You’re just craving the beach barbecue, aren’t you? If you want to eat, we can start getting ready now.”
“Really?”
The moment she heard the words “beach barbecue” from his mouth, Lin Muxi could no longer hide her smile. Her face instantly lit up with joy, and her sunglasses even slipped down, revealing her sparkling eyes full of delight.
Of course, she quickly realized she had spoken too fast and revealed her true thoughts. Covering her little mouth, her pale cheeks turned red, the sunset only adding to her cuteness.
Seeing her silly reaction made Mo Ziyang laugh.
“Honestly, it’s not like I wasn’t going to take you. If you’re hungry, just say it. Why hide it?”
With a gentle smile, Mo Ziyang reached out and patted her head softly.
That simple gesture of care made Lin Muxi’s cheeks burn even hotter. Embarrassed, she almost wanted to dig a hole in the sand and bury her head inside.
So useless! she thought to herself.
And yet, even as she felt shy, she couldn’t stop imagining what their seaside barbecue would be like, what kind of delicious food she might get to try, what the atmosphere would feel like.
Just thinking about it made her swallow unconsciously, and her little stomach growled again, betraying her completely.
“I-I only got hungry because I played too much. It’s not like I wanted to eat that badly.”
Faced with her good bro’s teasing look, Lin Muxi hurried to explain, turning her head away in embarrassment.
Of course, even she knew she was only fooling herself.
Hearing those words, Mo Ziyang couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile.
She was so silly, if he married Lin Muxi one day and they had kids, what if the kids turned out just as silly as her?
With a soft sigh, Mo Ziyang picked up his phone and called the kind uncle, asking him to bring all the things they needed for the evening barbecue down to the beach.
“Come on, let’s go back to the room to take a shower and wash your hair.”
“Mm.”
Hearing that her good bro had already asked the uncle to deliver the things, Lin Muxi agreed to his suggestion. She planned to go wash up and change clothes before getting ready for the barbecue.
But just as she was about to leave, a sudden thought made her stop and turn back to look at her good bro, who was still sitting on the beach, staring quietly at the distant sea.
At that moment, Mo Ziyang was just as described, sitting calmly, letting the sea breeze blow over him as he gazed at the waves far away.
Lin Muxi didn’t know why, but seeing him like this gave her a faint sense of loneliness from him. It was like he was someone who always gave silently, and only when no one was around could he allow himself to feel a little sad.
“Mo Ziyang…”
Her heart tightened slightly. Then, with her small steps, she ran back to him. Before Mo Ziyang could react to her voice, she jumped forward and hugged him tightly from behind.
The sudden hug startled him, he clearly hadn’t expected her to come back.
“What is it?” he asked, turning his head slightly to the little girl who was now hugging his neck and rubbing her face against him.
“Let’s shower together~” Lin Muxi’s small face was flushed as she leaned on his shoulder, shyly inviting him.
Mo Ziyang smiled gently.
He didn’t really understand what was going through her head, but since his little wife had made the invitation, how could he refuse?
Standing up and turning around, Mo Ziyang easily lifted Lin Muxi into a princess carry.
“Ahh~!” she let out a soft cry, then shut her eyes and held onto his neck, looking every bit like a little princess in his arms.
“It hasn't even been a day, and you can’t wait to shower with your husband?” Mo Ziyang teased softly, lips brushing her ear.
His tone clearly showed how pleased he was with her attitude.
As for the little girl in his arms, her cheeks were burning red, but she didn’t deny it.
After all, she already belonged to her good bro. They were a couple now, and in some way, almost like husband and wife, so taking a shower together wasn’t that strange.
Even so, her face kept getting hotter. Every time she bathed with him, Mo Ziyang was never completely “well-behaved.”
Not that Lin Muxi disliked it, but it always made her feel so embarrassed.
She didn’t want to become the kind of girl who only thought about naughty things every day. So whenever such thoughts came to her, she always tried to quickly distract herself and forget them.
Thinking about this, she couldn’t help but secretly raise her head a little to sneak a glance at him.
But just at that moment, Mo Ziyang was also looking at her with a strange, unreadable gaze.
Their eyes met for just a second, and Lin Muxi instantly looked away, her heart racing like a drum.
That look, she knew it. She couldn’t be wrong!
This time, during their shower, her good bro would definitely try something bad again.
“Don’t… don’t go too far…” she whispered shyly.
After saying that, she quickly let go of his neck and buried her face deep into his chest, her whole body hot with embarrassment.
