Chapter 74: That Morning
The next morning, just as the sky was starting to brighten, soft light began to tear through the darkness.
On the large bed, the petite girl’s eyelashes twitched slightly.
But almost immediately, she instinctively curled closer into the warmth beside her, sinking back into a sweet dream.
The man, who should have still been asleep, seemed to sense her movement. His eyes opened slightly, then he pulled the girl closer into his embrace.
“Mmm… tastes bad…”
Hearing the girl’s soft murmurs, the man’s eyes opened fully.
After realizing she was talking in her sleep, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Last night, in order to help him relieve his desire, Mu Le had almost used all her skills.
Unfortunately… she wasn’t very skilled.
So after a long time of trying with her hands, the only result was Xiao Yuze grimacing in pain, nothing else happened.
Well, at least the pain made his desire ease a little, which was both frustrating and amusing.
In the end, it was only when the girl used her mouth that things were finally… resolved.
The cost, however, was that her originally soft lips became a little red and swollen from the effort.
If it weren’t for her saying her mouth hurt, Xiao Yuze, after only a little relief, probably wouldn’t have let it slide.
“Huh.”
Exhaling, the man’s thoughts drifted back to last night’s… wild indulgence, and he couldn’t help but feel a little restless.
Moreover, the morning was the time of day when yang energy is strongest. Unconsciously, the little problem he had last night had started to wake up again.
Xiao Yuze quickly shook his head, pushing all these chaotic thoughts out of his mind.
He couldn’t think like that anymore, or who knows what he might do. For the sake of the future, he had to endure it now.
At least, after everything that happened last night, Mu Le had still chosen to help him. That alone was already a big step forward.
He believed that soon, things would naturally progress. After that, he could do whatever he wanted.
For a moment, all sorts of mischievous ideas flashed through his mind.
Because they hadn’t gone to bed too late yesterday, while Xiao Yuze was lost in these thoughts, Mu Le gradually began to wake up on her side.
Her eyes twitched a few times before slowly opening.
Still groggy from sleep, she yawned and instinctively nudged the warm body beside her.
The cute gesture made Xiao Yuze chuckle softly, then he gently asked, “You’re awake?”
“Mm...” Mu Le mumbled softly, still in a half-asleep state.
“It’s early. Go back to sleep a little longer.”
At his suggestion, Mu Le blinked, then suddenly reached over and rubbed her stomach. “Hungry.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yuze paused for a moment, slightly surprised.
He let out a slightly helpless sigh but didn’t hesitate to get up.
Just as he was about to stand, he realized… Mu Le was completely naked. Her pale, delicate body gleamed in the soft morning light.
Then Xiao Yuze realized, it seemed… he was the one who had taken her clothes off?
He cleared his throat lightly and quickly pulled the blanket tighter around her, making sure she wouldn’t catch a chill in the cool morning air.
But just as he was about to get out of bed, his wrist was suddenly grabbed.
Mu Le, eyes still groggy, pressed her small face against the pillow, giving her a lazy look as she held onto him.
She tugged at his hand, slightly puzzled. “What are you doing?”
“Aren’t you hungry? I’ll go get you something to eat.”
Mu Le stared at him for a moment, then suddenly wrapped her arms around his waist, letting out a yawn. “I’m not hungry anymore.”
“Then sleep a little longer?” Xiao Yuze smiled helplessly, his expression soft and gentle.
“Mm.”
After hearing her reply, he lay back down.
Although they tried to sleep a bit more, neither of them felt sleepy after waking again.
Mu Le, a little bored, idly traced circles on the man beside her with her finger. She stayed silent, lost in thought, until after a while she hesitated and said, “Ah… Xiao Yuze, can you get me a glass of water?”
“Thirsty?”
“No… my mouth hurts.”
“Ah.”
She didn’t get up herself because, of course, she was still naked.
In the middle of the night, Xiao Yuze had wandered over her body, and who knew where her clothes had ended up?
Even after searching around, Mu Le hadn’t found a trace of them.
Her mouth, and even her throat, felt sore and uncomfortable.
Feeling guilty, Xiao Yuze didn’t say anything. Luckily, there was an electric kettle in his room, so heating some water wasn’t a problem.
After taking a few sips of the slightly warm water, Mu Le rubbed her mouth, still feeling a bit sore and tender.
Thinking about it, she was a little annoyed at Xiao Yuze. Last time, it had been quick, so she had assumed it would be the same this time.
But… it wasn’t.
At the thought, Mu Le shot him a displeased look, leaving Xiao Yuze slightly confused.
After drinking the water, her mouth still felt uncomfortable, but her dry throat was a bit better.
The two of them stayed in bed a while longer. It wasn’t until the sun had risen high that they finally decided to get up.
Mu Le only got up after Xiao Yuze had dressed and gone to wash up, since her underwear and outer clothes were hanging on a rack across the room.
Being completely naked in front of Xiao Yuze in broad daylight? That was still something she couldn’t do.
When she finished washing and stepped out, she saw Xia Ling and Xiao Yuze sitting on the living room sofa, chatting and laughing.
When they noticed Mu Le, their expressions seemed a bit strange, but maybe it was just Mu Le feeling guilty.
Even though last night had been awkward, she knew she still had to be polite. So she greeted Xia Ling with a calm, “Good morning.”
Compared to her, Xia Ling, who had been through this before, was much more natural. If Mu Le hadn’t confirmed her memory was correct, she might have thought last night’s embarrassment was just her imagination.
After chatting for a bit, Xia Ling went to prepare breakfast, leaving Mu Le alone with Xiao Yuze.
As for Xiao Shuheng… he was probably still doing morning exercises in a small park downstairs.
Once Xia Ling left, Mu Le finally exhaled a little in relief.
Seeing her, Xiao Yuze couldn’t help but smile. “What’s wrong? Feeling awkward?”
“Of course! Something like that being seen by an elder, how could I stay calm? Do you think my face is as thick as yours, like a city wall?”
“All right, then we just need to be more careful next time.”
“Next time? Who wants a next time with you!”
