Mu Xiaoxiao said unhappily, “What? Do you care more about my face?”

Yin Shaojie reached out and squeezed the little tip of her nose. “Yeah, if anything were to happen to your pretty little face, I’d be heartbroken.”

Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. “So you like me because of my face?”

“What do you think?” Yin Shaojie asked, smiling.

The mood returned to how it was before.

Yin Shaojie applied the medicine on her hand and said to her, “Lie down.”

“Why?” Puzzled, Mu Xiaoxiao obediently lay down on the sofa.

Yin Shaojie lifted up her shirt, and Mu Xiaoxiao was startled. “Hey! What are you doing!”

“I’m checking if you have any injuries on your back. Don’t move.” Yin Shaojie stopped her from trying to get up.

Held down by him, Mu Xiaoxiao was like a poor little turtle who couldn’t flip herself up.

“Probably not. You don’t have to lift it up so high,” Mu Xiaoxiao protested. How was this about helping her to apply the medicine? He must be trying to eat her tofu.

Yin Shaojie let down her shirt and said with some jealousy in his tone, “It seems like that guy protected you pretty well.”

Mu Xiaoxiao stood up, adjusted her shirt, and looked at him.

Afraid of what he might try to do again, she stretched her waist and yawned, “So sleepy. I’m going to sleep.”

Yin Shaojie got up from the sofa and bent down towards her.

Just as Mu Xiaoxiao was wondering what he was doing that for, he carried her up by the waist.

As soon as she wanted to speak, he shushed her. “I’m carrying you inside. You’re tired, right?”

Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. She smiled and pressed her face up against his chest.

She could hear the sound of his strong heartbeat.

After walking slightly more than ten steps, she felt sleepy.

When Yin Shaojie put her on the bed, she seemed to be asleep, but her hand was still pulling on his shirt.

He slowly tried to gently pry her hand off only to find that she was grasping it really tightly.

“Jie…” she moaned his name in her sleep.

Stopped in motion, Yin Shaojie’s inky dark eyes gazed at her deeply.

After staring for some time, he sighed, bent down, and kissed the corner of her lips.

“I’m going to take a shower now but I’ll come back to accompany you, okay?” His magnetic voice whispered in her ear.

As though she heard it, Mu Xiaoxiao’s fingers relaxed a little.

Yin Shaojie stood up and went to take a shower.

Ten minutes later, he came back from the shower and snuck under the blanket. Her body snuggled up against him.

Seeing how dependent she was, Yin Shaojie couldn’t help but smile.

The two hugged and slept.

The next day.

Mu Xiaoxiao stretched and opened her eyes. The first thing she did was find Yin Shaojie.

However, he was not in bed.

“Jie?” she rubbed her bleary eyes and called out faintly.

There was no response.

She thought that he had gone out and she buried herself back in the soft pillow.

She heard the sound of a door opening.

She smiled upon seeing that it was Yin Shaojie.

“I’m hungry…”

“Breakfast is getting cold.” Yin Shaojie went to the bed and sat down, reaching out to hug her.

Mu Xiaoxiao felt like a child and just wanted him to pamper her as she said softly, “I want it hot. I want to eat eggs and black sesame soup.”
