Mu Li's lips burned Lin Qing's skin like fire, leaving a string of kiss marks.
Lin Qing was a little dazed and felt his stomach churning.
"Why are you resisting!" Mu Li asked coldly.
Lin Qing didn't say anything, but pushed Mu Li hard, keeping him away from him.
Mu Li's nerves felt sensitive and tingling.
Lin Qing fell off the sofa and accidentally hit the corner of the coffee table beside her. In order to support her unbalanced body, she had to put all her weight on her right foot.
The pain in my ankle became more severe.
Lin Qing bit her lip, pushed away Mu Li who was trying to help her, and went upstairs.
Taking out the bottle of spray, Lin Qing sprayed the injured area twice with shaking hands. Suddenly, tears filled his eyes.
She doesn't want to cry.
Just can't help it.
Mu Li didn't follow. He sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette.
He exhaled and made a few smoke rings.
His face was still gloomy.
Lin Qing's resistance just now was obviously directed at him so fiercely.
But he really couldn't understand.
What made him even more confused was that in the next few days, Lin Qing neither contacted him nor even looked at him.
Even a glance seemed unnecessary to Lin Qing.
Mu Li was angry for a moment and wanted to move out of the master bedroom and live in the guest room several rooms away.
When preparing to bring some clothes over, Lin Qing was very proactive and specially picked out a few suits that he usually wore and packed them up.
Mu Li's face darkened. He slapped the wardrobe with his palm and hugged Lin Qing's small body: "Do you really want to drive me away?"
Lin Qing didn't look up, but just said, "If you think so, there's nothing I can do."
Mu Li died.
He threw all the suits, shirts and ties that Lin Qing had packed back into the closet.
The closet immediately became cluttered.
Lin Qing watched helplessly, very puzzled: "Why are you doing this?"
Mu Li came close to her face and said, "I'm not going to leave."
Lin Qing regretted being too proactive just now.
Mu Li's eyes tightened and he moved closer to her: "Whatever you are planning, don't waste your thoughts on it."
Lin Qing bit her lip: "I didn't."
She wanted to explain herself, but then she thought there was no need and stopped talking.
He just stood there quietly and looked at Mu Li.
Mu Li didn't know whether he should be happy or depressed. After such a long time, she finally looked at him straight in the eye.
He withdrew his arm softly and wanted to touch Lin Qing's cheek.
But she slipped away.
Why did this woman suddenly become so cold to him
He thought about it all night but couldn't find the answer.
In fact, he also thought about where Lin Qing got to know about his and Xu Yuan's past. But given Lin Qing's personality, it was impossible for him to keep silent about it.
Or did she know something else
At this moment, Mu Li suddenly remembered something and immediately went to that place to make an appointment.
On the way home, he stopped at a small roadside shop to buy a bean paste cake, but met someone he didn't want to see.
Xu Yuan stood across the street, waving his arms exaggeratedly at him, attracting the attention of passers-by.
Mu Li was about to walk away, but saw Xu Yuan walking straight towards him, regardless of the passing vehicles.
Soon, Xu Yuan stood in front of him.
Mu Li frowned slightly: "You don't want to live anymore."
Xu Yuan smiled: "Are you concerned about me?"
Mu Li said coldly: "You think too much."
Xu Yuan seemed a little dissatisfied: "I risked my life to come here, and you didn't even say a few nice words."
Mu Li ignored him and got in the car.
Xu Yuan ran in front of him and stopped him: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that. Don't ignore me."
She usually looks strong at work, but when facing Mu Li, she acts a bit like a little woman.
Mu Li didn't buy it: "What do you want to say?"
Xu Yuan winked at him and said, "There are so many people here, it's hard for me to say anything. How about we find a place to sit?"
Mu Li seemed to have no interest in making a proposal.
At this time, Xu Yuan realized it on the paper bag in his hand, with the words "Red Bean Paste Cake" printed on the outside of the paper bag.
Xu Yuan's brows relaxed, and he walked forward and took Mu Li's arm.
Mu Li immediately pushed her away: "I think our relationship is not that close yet."
Xu Yuan asked: "Then, what level of intimacy is considered?"
As Mu Li returned to the car, he replied, "It doesn't count in any way."
Xu Yuan quickly opened the passenger door, but did not get in. Instead, he bent over and smiled at Mu Li in the car: "But, Lin Qing seems to know everything. You don't have to hide from me anymore."
She spoke in an ambiguous tone and looked at Mu Li meaningfully with a smile.
Mu Li's expression changed slightly: "What did you say to her?"
Xu Yuan was innocent: "I didn't dare to say anything to her, it's just that some people took advantage of this good opportunity."
Mu Li vaguely guessed who Xu Yuan was talking about.
Xu Yuan smiled even more, then jumped into the car, pointed to the front of the road and said, "How about we find a place to sit this time?"
Mu Li didn't start the engine: "Get out of the car."
Seeing that he was unromantic, Xu Yuan felt somewhat reluctant, but after thinking about it secretly, she decided not to rush.
So he pretended to be cheerful and said, "Mu Li, since we are already like this, what are you still struggling with?"
Mu Li did not answer, and ordered him to leave again: "Please get off the car."
Xu Yuan glared at him and got out of the car.
If what Xu Yuan said was true, then Lin Qing's abnormality could be explained.
Although the two of them did not sleep in separate beds, Lin Qing still ignored Mu Li.
Mu Li was coldly rejected several times when he tried to show his goodwill, and he was somewhat annoyed.
Three days later in the morning, Lin Qing, who was still sleeping soundly, suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
She almost jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom.
Mu Li had been in the study the whole night and was nowhere to be seen at this time.
Facing the sink, Lin Qing dry-heaved for a while and felt a sour taste in his stomach, which made him very uncomfortable.
She wanted to vomit badly, but because she hadn't had any water the night before, she could only dry heave.
After a long while, Lin Qing felt less uncomfortable.
She washed her face and looked at herself in the mirror.
Did I have a stomach upset from the meal yesterday
Because one of the dishes was left over from two days ago, she reheated it. Thinking about it this way, it is very possible.
After he held her chest and patted her for a while, she felt better and walked out somewhat listlessly.
When everything was almost cleaned up, Lin Qing came out of the room and bumped into Mu Li who pushed the door open.
Mu Li looked a little tired, probably because he stayed up all night.
Lin Qing retracted his gaze and made way: "Go and have a rest for a while."
As she was about to leave, she was stopped by Mu Li.
"Where are you going?" Mu Li stared at her closely.
Lin Qing laughed dryly: "Of course I'm going to work."
Even if she didn't look up, she could feel those two anxious gazes.
Almost penetrated her.
Mu Li did not let go. He pulled her into his arms and looked down at her.
Lin Qing avoided his gaze and lowered her head.
Mu Li felt annoyed and hugged her tighter.
Lin Qing was unable to move for a moment.
"Don't go anywhere today. I'm going to take you to a place." Mu Li's voice almost came from her ear.
Lin Qing's head was pressed against his chest, and he couldn't breathe. "Where are we going?"
Mu Li did not say: "You will know when you go there."
He was so mysterious that Lin Qing was guessing for a long time.
But she really couldn't think of anything interesting.
She pushed Mu Li, trying to escape from his arms, but her strength was too weak.
"Can I not go?" Helpless, Lin Qing gave up struggling.
Mu Li frowned: "No."
Lin Qing could only smile bitterly.
She still didn't want to go out, so she secretly locked the door and crawled under the quilt pretending to be unwell.
After lying there for a while, she really fell asleep.
Before leaving, Mu Li couldn't find Lin Qing anywhere, but found that the bedroom door was locked from the inside.
The corners of his mouth twitched.
Did Lin Qing think that he couldn't get in like this
Two minutes later, Mu Li found the spare key to the room and pushed the door open in no time.
Glancing around, Lin Qing was hiding under the quilt, sleeping soundly with even breathing.
She didn't go to bed late yesterday, and now she can sleep so soundly. Mu Li really admires her.
He walked to the bed and gently smoothed Lin Qing's frown.
Not sure if it was a coincidence, Lin Qing muttered something, turned over, and blocked Mu Li's hand.
Mu Li frowned and pushed Lin Qing: "Get up."
Lin Qing then sat up in a daze, and when he saw Mu Li, he couldn't help but hide back.
This dodge made Mu Li a little annoyed.
"It's time to go." He whispered, his Adam's apple moving up and down.
Lin Qing nodded in confusion.
When it was finally time to leave, Shan Rong came uninvited.
As soon as Mu Li opened the door and saw that the person coming was Shan Rong, he closed the door again.
But Shan Rong was quick-witted and blocked the door at the risk of getting his hand caught: "You don't welcome me?"
Mu Li saw that he was quite sensible: "Of course, you are not welcome."
Shan Rong walked in leisurely.
He had nothing to say to Mu Li. Seeing that Lin Qing looked sleepy, which did not match the clothes he was wearing, he asked, "Are you going out?"
Lin Qing rubbed his head, still a little confused: "Maybe."
Shan Rong smiled: "Maybe? Don't you know it yourself?"
Lin Qing then remembered what Mu Li said before, and added: "Oh, I remember that I will go out with Mu Li later."
Mu Li was already sitting on the sofa, crossing his legs, and waved impatiently at Shan Rong: "Are you free lately? Why don't I ask your father to find something for you to do."
Shan Rong immediately calmed down and said with a smile: "I am here to check on you. One of you turned off your phone, and the other didn't answer the call. If I hadn't come here in person, I would have thought you eloped."
Lin Qing winked at him gently: "That's not the case."
The atmosphere is a bit weird.
Shan Rong was very interested: "Did you have a fight?"
Lin Qing hesitated for a moment and was about to speak when he suddenly felt like vomiting.
She looked a little haggard and rushed into the bathroom.
Shan Rong stared at Lin Qing's figure thoughtfully, then looked at Mu Li.
"What's wrong with her?" Mu Li asked.
Shan Rong shrugged: "You don't know, how can I know?"
As he spoke, he quietly walked to the bathroom door, opened it a crack, and saw Lin Qing retching there.
This scene looks a little familiar.
Shan Rong had an idea and knocked on the door.
Lin Qing turned around.
"Are you okay?" Shan Rong asked.
Lin Qing patted his chest, stood up and said, "It's okay. I seem to have eaten something bad recently, and I'm a little uncomfortable."
Shan Rong didn't buy this excuse.
He raised an eyebrow: "How long have you been like this?"
Lin Qing walked to the sink and thought for a moment: "It seems like more than a week."
