Chapter 60: That Afterwards
After getting up, Mu Le skipped class, and Xiao Yuze took a day off.
As for the reason… does it really need to be explained?
“Can I apologize? I really didn’t mean to do it.”
Looking at the girl sitting on the sofa with a lifeless expression, Xiao Yuze rubbed his chin, feeling very awkward.
But there was nothing he could do. What happened earlier was just…
Seeing that Mu Le ignored him for a long time, he finally took a deep breath.
“Besides, it’s not only my fault. Lele, you also—”
“What?” Before he could finish, Mu Le turned to him angrily. “I was trying to help you! Who told you to… to do that in my mouth? And so much of it! It felt terrible, you know?! Anyway… hmph!”
The more she spoke, the redder her face became. Whether from anger or embarrassment, it was hard to tell.
In the end, she just snorted, turned her head away, and ignored him again.
Xiao Yuze touched his nose, not knowing what to say to break the awkward silence.
But when he thought about what happened that morning, his thoughts started to wander again. Seeing Mu Le’s sulking face, he quickly calmed himself down.
To be honest, he was also shocked by what Mu Le did earlier.
Under normal circumstances, he would never have done something like that. At the very least… he wouldn’t have lost control like that.
It was just that the sudden feeling was too strong, and everything had built up for too long. In that moment, he simply couldn’t hold back.
By the time he regretted it, it was already too late. That kind of thing couldn’t just be stopped halfway.
“Don’t be mad anymore.”
He reached out to pat Mu Le’s head, but she easily avoided it. Xiao Yuze didn’t get angry, he had no reason to.
He stood up from the sofa and adjusted his clothes a little.
“Alright, you must be hungry, right? What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you.”
The two of them had been sitting there all morning. Aside from brushing their teeth and washing up, they hadn’t really moved.
Mu Le was indeed a bit hungry. So after touching her stomach, she finally looked at him.
“I want buns from Chen Ji!”
Hearing this, Xiao Yuze paused for a moment.
But only for a moment. Then he smiled naturally. “Okay. Wait for me.”
After saying that, he quickly grabbed his coat and walked out.
Chen Ji was a small breakfast shop nearby. The food was delicious and cheap, so it was very popular.
Even though it was still early, with how busy the shop was, there probably wouldn’t even be any fried dough sticks left, let alone buns.
Mu Le was clearly making things difficult for him, or maybe just speaking out of anger.
But after what just happened, even if she asked for the moon, he wouldn’t refuse.
Watching Xiao Yuze leave without hesitation, Mu Le unconsciously touched her lips.
The feeling on her lips and in her hand still seemed to remain. She quickly patted her face.
“Ugh! Mu Le, something must be wrong with you! Otherwise… otherwise how could you…”
She let out a small, unclear sound, then hugged a pillow and rolled onto the sofa, burying her face in it.
That’s right. Something must be wrong with her.
Otherwise… why would she suddenly do something like that?
As a boy, she should have felt disgusted doing that. But why? Why did she take the initiative to do it anyway?
Even if it didn’t seem like a big deal, for Mu Le, it was enough to shake her deeply.
“Ahh… idiot!”
After rolling around a few times, Mu Le suddenly sat up and threw the pillow in her hand.
The soft pillow hit the ground, rolled a few times, and then stopped moving.
Mu Le stared blankly at where the pillow had fallen. After a while, she sighed, got up barefoot, and picked it up.
Since it had already happened, thinking too much about it didn’t seem useful anymore.
Mu Le had always been a fairly optimistic person, and this matter… it wasn’t that big of a deal, right? It was just—
“How could it not be a big deal?!”
In fact, Mu Le wasn’t really angry at Xiao Yuze. She was angry at herself.
Why did she suddenly lose her mind and do something like that? No matter how she thought about it, it didn’t make sense.
After all, he was the one feeling restless, not her. So why did she act on impulse like that?
Of course, she wasn’t completely free of anger toward him either.
After all, her taking the initiative was one thing, but what he did after was another.
When it happened, she was really shocked.
It felt strange, and honestly… kind of unpleasant.
And because there was so much and she wasn’t prepared, even though she didn’t want to, she ended up swallowing some of it and almost choked!
After sitting there in a daze for a long time, Mu Le suddenly sighed again.
Then she went to her room, took out her laptop, and started writing!
So when Xiao Yuze came back, what he saw was a girl with a dark expression, a strange smile on her lips, and her fingers typing quickly on the keyboard.
She even muttered strange little things under her breath, making Xiao Yuze feel a slight chill down his back.
Of course, he had no idea that his careless actions that morning had caused trouble for many of Mu Le’s readers.
In the novel she was currently writing, a very popular second female character, who was even more liked than the main heroine, was suddenly attacked by the villain and completely ruined in one chapter.
The story took a very dark turn, and the character’s situation became miserable.
As soon as the chapter was posted, the comment section was full of complaints and cries.
After reading them, Mu Le just smiled faintly.
Of course, not all comments were complaints. Some strange ones said things like, “Isn’t this good?” or “Even bad girls have their own kind of fun.”
But Mu Le didn’t care about that right now. After venting her emotions in her own way, she finally felt a bit calmer.
Just as she turned her head, she saw Xiao Yuze looking at his phone.
He had actually been back for a while, but seeing her earlier state, he didn’t dare disturb her.
After noticing her update, he immediately opened it and started reading.
Mu Le’s novel had already become one of the main things he used to pass time.
But after finishing the latest chapter, even Xiao Yuze couldn’t help but frown.
Aren’t you afraid your readers will get angry at you for writing this?
However, as the thought reached his mind, his gaze couldn’t help but drift toward Mu Le’s soft lips.
Thinking about the scenes in the story, mixed with what happened that morning, his throat tightened slightly.
Mu Le’s writing was truly good. Even when writing this kind of content, it was engaging and easy to read.
There wasn’t even that much direct description, most of it was left to the reader’s imagination.
And that was exactly what made it even harder to ignore.
As the saying goes, the best “writer” is sometimes the reader. A few simple lines can make readers imagine countless scenes on their own.
So when Xiao Yuze connected the story with what happened that morning, his thoughts started to wander again.
It wasn’t really his fault. After all, experiencing something and just imagining it were completely different things.
Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to calm down and pushed away those dangerous thoughts.
He raised his hand and placed the still-warm breakfast in front of Mu Le.
“Eat first. It’s not good for your stomach if you skip it.”
Mu Le glanced at him. Maybe because she had already vented her feelings, she didn’t refuse.
Of course, for now, she still refused to talk to this man!
