After the kiss, Mu Qi's hand moved from Yun Shuznian's wrist to her palm, intertwining their fingers. "Yun Shuznian, you've made quite the sacrifice to be with him."
Mu Qi lowered his gaze, looking at Yun Shuznian's dazed expression, and assumed she was compromising in front of him just to be with that man.
"Hmm? Who is he?" Yun Shuznian's head was muddled from Mu Qi's kiss. She took two seconds to react, then tilted her head, looking at Mu Qi with hazy, innocent eyes.
"Heh, no one," Mu Qi didn't want to break the current peace easily, so he still didn't mention the man Yun Shuznian was "hiding" in the guest room.
"Mu Qi, I'll study cooking properly!"
A moment later, Yun Shuznian's mind gradually cleared. Thinking of Mu Qi's anger earlier, she was the first to state her intentions.
Mu Qi released Yun Shuznian and walked back to the washing pond to clean the dishes.
"Cook what?"
Why would someone so delicate get involved in such dangerous things?
Mu Qi thought of the porridge that had spilled onto the floor yesterday and subtly glanced at Yun Shuznian, who was currently unharmed.
"Really, Mu Qi, believe me, the food I make will be as delicious as yours from now on. I won't always make you cook. Sudanshu.com
After observing, I'll also do the dishes. I definitely won't just stand by and watch you cook like now."
Yun Shuznian fiddled with the hem of her skirt, afraid to meet Mu Qi's gaze, looking as if she feared being disliked.
Mu Qi pondered for a few seconds, then asked, "Do you like cooking?"
Yun Shuznian thought about it. Cooking, like dressing, was a necessary condition for keeping Mu Qi, so whether she liked it or not was irrelevant. "I don't know."
That meant neither liking nor disliking it.
Mu Qi asked again, "Then do you like washing these things?"
Yun Shuznian didn't speak.
Mu Qi: "You don't know either?"
Yun Shuznian nodded. "Mm."
Mu Qi: "Then you don't need to do these. I like them. I'll do them from now on."
Yun Shuznian was a little surprised. She cautiously raised her head and stared at Mu Qi's profile. "Do you really like it?"
"Mm," Mu Qi replied.
Mu Qi did like it. Having something that made Yun Shuznian dependent on him was a rare thing for Mu Qi.
"Oh," Yun Shuznian responded, still feeling like she was inconveniencing Mu Qi too much.
She had secretly brought him to this deserted island, leaving him with only her. Not only could she not support him financially, but she also expected him to cook for her. This was truly heartless.
It was just infatuation leading to foolishness...
Yun Shuznian's gaze drifted from top to bottom over Mu Qi.
At this moment, Mu Qi was dressed in a simple white shirt and black pants, wearing a pink apron. His posture and profile were enough to make anyone fall for him.
Yun Shuznian, as a woman deeply in love with Mu Qi, became even more flustered and reached out her hand towards Mu Qi's slender waist.
In an instant, Mu Qi's movements abruptly stopped.
Mu Qi put down the dishes and said in a husky voice, "Don't mess around."
Yun Shuznian suddenly sobered up. "Oh."
Then, Yun Shuznian stiffly walked towards the door.
With a bang, Yun Shuznian walked straight into the door.
Mu Qi quickly went to check. "Did you hit anywhere?"
Yun Shuznian rubbed her head. "I didn't hit anywhere."
Mu Qi didn't listen to Yun Shuznian and directly checked her himself. After confirming multiple times that Yun Shuznian's head was only red from the impact and not swollen, he was relieved.
"Be careful."
Yun Shuznian nodded. "Mhm."
"Where do you want to go?" Mu Qi asked, shaking the handcuffs in his hand.
"I don't want to go anywhere." Yun Shuznian's voice became much quieter as she looked at the handcuffs connecting them.
This was the first time Mu Qi had mentioned the item on his wrist, and Yun Shuznian sensitively felt a pang of sadness.
Handcuffs were not honorable, not upright.
She loved Mu Qi so passionately that in a moment of impulse, she had used such an unseemly item.
At this moment, Yun Shuznian, who loved Mu Qi so deeply and earnestly, had clearly forgotten that Mu Qi had previously forbidden her from leaving Qiyuan.
Mu Qi thought of something and glanced towards the guest room, his tone turning cold. "Then please wait for me to finish washing these things before you go out."
Yun Shuznian: "Okay."
Mu Qi turned back, his footsteps heavier.
Yun Shuznian stood obediently not far from Mu Qi, watching his back. The kitchen was now filled only with the sound of Mu Qi washing dishes.
However, after a short while, Mu Qi walked out of the kitchen again, leaning to the side, saying nothing.
Perhaps it was because Yun Shuznian felt increasingly guilty after bringing Mu Qi to this deserted island, that for a moment she only dared to follow obediently behind Mu Qi, not daring to ask any more questions.
Yun Shuznian blushed when she saw Mu Qi go to the living room to move a chair and then walk back towards the kitchen. She eagerly helped Mu Qi open the door.
Mu Qi placed the chair where Yun Shuznian had been sitting earlier, then turned to pick up the dishes he had just put down.
Yun Shuznian understood and sat down by herself. "Mu Qi, you're so good."
Good?
And yet he was with his little lover?
Mu Qi's eyes were filled with ice-bound pain. He couldn't bear to transform it into anger and break this damned peace.
Feeling full often made one drowsy, especially for Yun Shuznian who had been enthusiastically eating earlier.
In no time, Yun Shuznian began to doze off. By the time Mu Qi finished washing, she was even more sleepy.
Even though her heart still ached intensely, Mu Qi still walked with light steps.
Mu Qi walked to Yun Shuznian's side and raised his hand to pick her up when she suddenly woke up.
Yun Shuznian realized Mu Qi was finished and immediately got off the chair, rubbing her eyes.
Mu Qi picked up the chair with one hand and walked out. Of course, if he hadn't deliberately slowed his steps to wait for Yun Shuznian to catch up, his intentional coldness would have been more apparent.
Yun Shuznian followed Mu Qi and put the chair back by the table. She felt less sleepy.
"Mu Qi, you're so good." Yun Shuznian looked at Mu Qi with sparkling eyes, full of undisguised love and sincerity.
Mu Qi stared at Yun Shuznian's gaze for a long time without speaking.
Finally, Mu Qi sighed softly, walked to Yun Shuznian's side, and pulled her into his arms. "If you never leave me, I will always be this good."
