Chapter 15: Mu Mu Ran Away
Even Mu Mu, in his simple-mindedness, understood that a strange man, a wealthy and powerful stranger who lived in a large villa in the Golden District, a stranger who had just forcibly kissed him, offering to support him, was not offering simple financial assistance.
Of course, it wasn’t about starting a romance either.
Mu Mu vaguely guessed this kind of “support” was the same kind the older brothers and sisters on the street next to the nightclub always talked about.
He looked up, his gaze serious as he looked at the man so close, his soft voice low and serious, “You want to sleep with me?”
Yan Gui Xing: “!”
Yan Gui Xing never expected to hear the word “sleep with” from the innocent Mu Mu, and his expression immediately darkened.
Damn it! Who corrupted this innocent child?!
Or had someone already gotten there before him?
Impossible! If there was someone else, Achi wouldn’t have missed it! If such a person existed, Mu Mu wouldn’t have been so clumsy during the kiss, so breathless!
That meant someone really corrupted this little fool!
Yan Gui Xing took a half-step back, creating distance between them. His sea-green eyes had somehow become dark and heavy, calmly observing Mu Mu, with a touch of madness in his somber gaze.
His voice was low and gentle, coaxing, “Mu Mu, tell me, who taught you to say that?”
Mu Mu instinctively felt that Yan Gui Xing was now frightening, yet he didn’t understand. Yan Gui Xing’s expression and tone were still gentle, but why did he feel like running away?
This was probably a small animal’s self-preservation instinct.
Mu Mu lowered his head, shrugging, replying, “Mu Mu’s a man, it’s normal to understand these things. I’ll need to marry a wife someday.”
Hearing Mu Mu mention marrying a wife, Yan Gui Xing felt an inexplicable urge to smash something. The person he had his eyes on hadn’t even been bedded yet, and the kid was already thinking about marriage? Who gave him the audacity to think about a wife?!
He impatiently furrowed his brow, taking a step forward, intending to pull Mu Mu into his arms for a good scolding.
But seeing Mu Mu seemed to have more to say, he forcibly restrained himself, wanting to hear what other shocking statements this little fool would utter.
Mu Mu certainly didn’t disappoint Yan Gui Xing. He looked up at Yan Gui Xing, his large eyes filled with great incomprehension, “Besides, the teacher taught us that in biology class.”
He counted on his fingers, “Men can have babies with women and sub-humans, and they can also marry men, but they can’t have babies. Mr. Yan, didn’t you have biology class back then?”
Mu Mu’s answer was so reasonable that Yan Gui Xing was momentarily speechless.
Seeing Yan Gui Xing’s silence, Mu Mu pursed his lips, which were dry from nervousness, and continued, “I’m sorry, Mr. Yan, I only accept romantic relationships. The kind of ‘support’ you mentioned isn’t right, I can’t accept it.”
Mu Mu eventually escaped because Yan Gui Xing’s sudden silence and the sound of the rushing water in the spacious bathroom made him feel terrified.
He didn’t even dare to look at Yan Gui Xing’s beautiful face for long, afraid the handsome man would transform into a hideous man-eating star beast.
Mu Mu didn’t remember how he left Yan Gui Xing’s house. When he came to his senses, he was shivering in an air-conditioned public flyer.
He looked down at his wet trousers and yellow socks clinging to his legs, realizing he was also drenched.
No wonder he was so cold.
The wet Mu Mu was like a drenched stray dog, huddled in the corner of the last row of seats, his arms tightly wrapped around himself, pitifully shivering in the air-conditioned flyer.
Mu Mu no longer cared about the five-star rating or delivery fee. He just wanted to go home, take a hot shower, and avoid catching a cold. He had work tonight, and taking leave would cost him money.
Oh! Right! He stamped his feet together, clad in his yellow socks. Mu Mu pouted, looking as if he might cry.
It’s over! He left his shoes at Mr. Yan’s house; he’ll never get them back!
He was so stupid! He couldn’t even do a simple delivery, he burned Mr. Yan, completely offended him, and then lost his shoes!
So stupid! Mu Mu, you’re really stupid!!
Mu Mu felt more and more aggrieved, bending over, burying his face in his knees, his shoulders trembling.
Meanwhile, Yan Gui Xing watched Mu Mu abruptly turn and dash out of the bathroom like a gust of wind. He instinctively raised his hand to grab him, but before his arm could fully extend, Mu Mu was already far away.
“Mr. Mu Mu? Where are you going? Heavens! You’re still wet! You’ll get sick!! Please come back and dry yourself!!!”
Xiao Ting’s panicked screams faintly reached the bathroom. Yan Gui Xing looked at his outstretched arm and burst out laughing.
He took off his damp trousers, didn’t bother adjusting the water temperature, and rinsed off the sticky oil and lingering excitement of the kiss under the cold water.
After showering, Yan Gui Xing didn’t let Xiao Ting fetch his clothes. He simply wrapped a bath towel around his waist, swept his wet hair back, and walked out of the bathroom.
Xiao Ting, guarding the door, saw Yan Gui Xing’s casual attire and its voice shot up two octaves in a shrill, juvenile tone.
“I’ve told you so many times, Master! Taking cold showers and not drying yourself or putting on clothes easily leads to colds and fevers! You can’t act recklessly just because you’re healthy! The saying goes, ‘Those who often walk by the river will get their shoes wet,’ Master, you must be careful!”
Yan Gui Xing ignored Xiao Ting, striding towards the living room. He heard the second half of Xiao Ting’s sentence and couldn’t help but sneer, “Although I haven’t been to school much, I know the saying ‘Those who often walk by the river will get their shoes wet’ doesn’t mean that. Xiao Ting, you need an upgrade?”
A displeased expression appeared on Xiao Ting’s round face. It earnestly and seriously defended itself, “My system is the highest version from the Imperial Military Department; it doesn’t need an upgrade. Master, you really don’t know good stuff!”
“Heh.” Yan Gui Xing smirked, ignoring whether the water droplets on his body would be difficult to clean from the white velvet sofa, he sat down on the single sofa in a relaxed manner, his arms resting on the armrests, revealing his still-red chest.
“Alright, stop showing off your broken system. Every robot from the military department is the highest version, isn’t it? Come and treat the burn on my chest, and call Achi over.”
“Yes, Master.” The expression on Xiao Ting’s face returned to its initial red-eyed expression. It took a second to send a message to Achi before quickly sliding in front of Yan Gui Xing.
Its two small mechanical hands pressed against Yan Gui Xing’s chest; its round eyes and hands glowed blue, its voice changing from a cute, juvenile tone to a cold, impersonal electronic voice.
“Treatment commencing. Duration: two minutes.”
Coolness spread from its palm to the burned chest, and the stinging pain quickly subsided, a comfortable sensation from the inside out that relaxed Yan Gui Xing, causing him to lean back against the sofa.
