Gu Mingyuan raised his hand stiffly, grasped Mu Le's wrist, and gently pulled it down.
"Why do you..." he chose his words carefully, "like... my character so much?"
Mu Le was pulled down by him, kneeling on the chair, looking up at him: "... I like everything about you."
Gu Mingyuan pulled her hand in front of him and kissed her fingers: "You know that's not what I meant."
She was obviously doing it on purpose, always clinging to his corner.
… and maybe a tail, or wings, or even dragon scales or something.
These things are obviously not beautiful.
"…If I must say it." Mu Le thought for a moment and whispered, "Because it feels very comfortable to touch?"
Gu Mingyuan: “Really?”
Mu Le: "... Because your reaction when you are touched is very interesting, I want to see it."
Mu Le had no choice but to close his eyes and tell the truth.
Gu Mingyuan was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he showed a helpless expression. He lowered his head and approached Mu Le, whispering: "I have more, more interesting reactions."
His voice was low and ambiguous, and Mu Le was a little overwhelmed. She quietly stepped back and swallowed her saliva: "Is it, is it? Then..."
Gu Mingyuan: "Want to see it?"
Mu Le looked forward to it shamefully: "... I want to."
Gu Mingyuan laughed softly, the sound of his breath made people's ears feel hot and their hearts tremble.
He said, "Then finish your fruit and do your homework."
Mu Le: “?”
"Go to sleep after you're done." Gu Mingyuan touched her head, "Grow up quickly and stop thinking about these messed up things."
Mu Le: “…”
I don’t know why, I was obviously talking to my boyfriend about some topics that would get me locked up.
The conversation turned to... parenting topics
…
Maybe all adults are such bad guys.
Mu Le spent a night like any other. She did her homework, took a bath, finished a set of college entrance examination questions, and then fell asleep while reading an ancient book.
I was just kissed on the lips before going to bed and received a gentle "good night".
Well, it's barely acceptable.
Mu Le had many dreams that night and felt a little sleepy when he woke up in the morning.
Gu Mingyuan looked at her several more times on the way to school, and after getting off the car, he still frowned and looked at her with a heavy heart.
Mu Le: “… ?”
What's wrong with him
Gu Mingyuan hesitated for a moment and asked her, "Lele, what time did you go to bed yesterday?"
Mu Le said blankly: "After you said good night to me..."
She just read too many random ancient books before going to bed, so she didn't sleep well at night.
Gu Mingyuan: "And then you fell asleep?"
Mu Le: “…Hahahaha yes, I really fell asleep!!”
She thought back to when she was in school, many of her classmates hid under the covers to play with their phones. Even earlier, some of them used flashlights to read novels and do homework under the covers...
Gu Mingyuan's expression now seemed to be that he was doubting her for doing these things.
This mentality is really too old-fashioned.
When other people's boyfriends are suspicious, they suspect that they are being cheated on, but her boyfriend suspects that she is hiding under the covers playing with her phone.
This incident tickled Mu Le's funny bone. She held onto Gu Mingyuan's arm and laughed so hard that she fell backwards. Gu Mingyuan was still a little confused.
Seeing Mu Le laughing like this, he couldn't help but pursed his lips: "What are you laughing at?"
Mu Le rubbed his eyes with laughter: "You look like an old father."
Gu Mingyuan: “… … …”
He stood there, his lips no longer pursed, his smile gone, looking at Mu Le expressionlessly, perhaps even a little dully, as if he had suffered a great blow.
"That's not what I meant." Mu Le laughed and fell on his arms, "Hahaha, no, you're not an old father, you're a dear boyfriend, right? Come on and smile, don't feel wronged, don't feel wronged..."
Gu Mingyuan: "... I have no grievances."
He felt that Mu Le had completely taken control of his emotions now, and was even standing on top of his head, spreading his wings and dancing sideways happily -
After all, it is at the school gate.
Although others are afraid of them and dare not approach them, they still have to pay attention to their image.
And I'm almost late for class.
Mu Le laughed enough, and the hand that was on Gu Mingyuan's arm slid down and interlocked her fingers with his.
She pulled up his arm, shielded it with her small body, and furtively kissed the back of his hand.
"I like you the most." Mu Le said with a smile, "I like you no matter what you look like."
Gu Mingyuan stared at her with heavy eyes.
Mu Le waved to him and ran away.
Not long after she entered the school, she saw a child walking slowly in front of her with a schoolbag on his back.
The boy’s profile is cute and delicate, with his ears hanging down on the sides of his face, and he looks particularly well-behaved and obedient - who else could it be but Xiang Fei
Mu Le quickly ran to Xiang Fei and patted his shoulder, in a good mood: "Good morning, Fei Fei."
Xiang Fei was not startled. Instead, she slowly turned her head and looked at her aggrievedly.
Mu Le was stunned for a moment, and asked at a loss: "What, what happened? Don't cry, tell me if you have anything-"
"I, I didn't cry." Xiang Fei sniffed, "I won't cry anymore."
Mu Le patted his head: "Okay. Are you willing to tell me?"
"LeLe..." Xiang Fei whispered, "You are indeed a human, right?"
Mu Le froze: "Oh, why are you talking about me? I..."
"I know." Xiang Fei said. "Your dragon horns are fake, and there is no tail, nothing else..."
He lowered his head and touched his ears: "It's an ugly thing."
Mu Le glared at him: "What nonsense are you talking about? How is it ugly? And... my dragon horn?"
She raised her hand and touched her horn, not thinking it could be seen.
She changed roles twice while growing up, both times were custom-made by Gu Mingyuan. They were probably very expensive, and the quality was better than the last. She felt that they were no different from the real ones when she touched them in her hands.
"Didn't it fall before?" Xiang Fei said, "I suspected it at that time. I'm sorry for not telling you."
Mu Le: "Ah..."
Xiang Fei said: "When I was reading the rare animal stories, I read a lot of legends related to humans..."
Mu Le: “…”
She also glanced at the "Miscellaneous Talks on Rare Animals", which looked like "Classic of Mountains and Seas" or even "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
The humans described in it were quite different from the humans she knew...
It probably feels like an ordinary fox orc from a planet travels to Earth and is mistaken for a fox demon by humans.
Mu Le touched her face. She didn't expect Xiang Fei to think of her like this.
"... I don't mean anything else..." Xiang Fei said, "Although, although you are a human, you are also my friend... a very good friend."
Mu Le nodded touchedly: "Woo, yes. We are good friends."
Feifei is indeed a good child.
Xiang Fei looked up at her, her eyes still watery, still looking a little aggrieved: "Then, can I ask a question?"
Mu Le continued to nod: "Ask as you like."
Xiang Fei: "Are you and that dragon...in a relationship?"
Mu Le: “…”
"I'm sorry." Xiang Fei seemed to be about to cry, "I accidentally heard it."
