Walking on the pitch-black night road, Lin Yu reached behind him, ready to scratch his butt...
Wait!
Why do I always have to scratch my butt at this time?
This is really weird, okay?
Resisting the insignificant itch on his butt, Lin Yu pulled his hand back and continued walking out of the residential area.
Going to see Xia Muzhu this time was different from seeing Tang Manman and Qing Mo.
Those two were right at his doorstep.
If he moved quickly at night, he could even rush back to Su Yuyao's side before she woke up.
Going to see Xia Muzhu was a different story.
The two places were over a thousand kilometers apart; one night's time simply wouldn't be enough no matter how he thought about it.
Just the round-trip flight time would take over four hours.
Not to mention the waiting and commuting time.
Even if he went straight to Xia Muzhu's house and started conquering her in bed without saying a word, there wouldn't be enough time.
What could he do in such a short time?
It was completely insufficient!
Moreover, Xia Muzhu had Xia Yueshan, that little demon king, by her side.
If he went in a hurry and came back in a hurry, the boy would definitely get suspicious and angry, thinking Lin Yu was neglecting his sister.
If that little brat stirred up some trouble then.
He would regret it immensely.
Therefore.
Before Su Yuyao fell asleep tonight, Lin Yu had already asked her for leave in advance.
The leave extended until noon the day after tomorrow.
With such ample time, Lin Yu had full confidence.
Conquering Xia Muzhu in bed.
Piece of cake!
Rushing non-stop to the airport, after a series of waiting and traveling, Lin Yu finally returned to the door of the house where he had stayed for a long time, the place that felt most like home.
Standing in front of the door.
Lin Yu felt a bit emotional for a moment.
Thinking back to those years.
He genuinely believed he would spend the rest of his life with Xia Muzhu just like that.
Although life back then started from an accident, Lin Yu still felt that that period of time was exceptionally beautiful.
Yeah.
Better than now.
Taking a deep breath and slowly exhaling.
Since things had developed to this point today.
Lin Yu didn't want to dwell on the past anymore.
People always learn to accept things.
Even if there are some things you don't want.
Raising his hand to press his index finger against the fingerprint lock's sensor screen, with two beeps, the door opened.
Lin Yu pushed the door and entered the house.
The living room was pitch black.
It was past one in the morning; figuring they both should be asleep by now.
Relying on the intuition of living here for many years, Lin Yu reached out to the wall and turned on the living room light at once.
Standing at the entryway changing into slippers.
Right then, Lin Yu's laziness struck again.
Thinking that he would have to come out again later to turn off the living room light anyway, he might as well just turn it off now.
Lin Yu was too lazy to make another trip.
He raised his hand and turned off the living room light.
After a slight click.
The living room returned to darkness.
It was so dark around him that he couldn't see his own fingers.
Standing in this darkness, Lin Yu didn't panic at all; he was even too lazy to take out his phone for illumination.
Having lived here for so many years, Lin Yu could walk the path from the living room to Xia Muzhu's bedroom without a single mistake even if he were blind!
After all, during those years, he had sneaked into her room in the dark at night quite a lot...
Wearing his slippers, Lin Yu walked forward in the dark.
His sense of direction was extremely accurate, successfully avoiding obstacles like the sofa and coffee table.
And his feet walked flawlessly toward Xia Muzhu's bedroom.
It was just that Lin Yu, who had stayed up very late and was already a bit exhausted, completely failed to notice that in the dark room, a bedroom door near the kitchen was quietly opening...
...
At one in the morning, even the flies were resting.
In the quiet living room, even the buzzing of a mosquito could be clearly heard.
In this quiet darkness.
As Lin Yu walked, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
It seemed there was another sound in this house, like deliberately lowered, dragging footsteps, and they were following right behind him!
Before Lin Yu could carefully think about what these light footsteps could be.
In the darkness, a loud shout suddenly rang out.
Monkey Steals the Peach!!!
Hearing this sudden loud shout, Lin Yu was so frightened that even the roots of his hair stood on end.
But he didn't have much time to be afraid.
Upon hearing the name of this all-too-familiar move, almost out of a primal defensive instinct, Lin Yu clamped his legs together, shrank his butt back, quickly covered his precious jewels that were about to be ambushed with one hand, and swiftly swung his other hand toward the direction of the voice.
Lin Yu didn't just have high attack power; his defensive skills were also SSR-tier.
After a series of swift and decisive defensive counterattacks, he successfully caught the small hand heading straight for his crotch.
In the dark night, Lin Yu followed that hand and looked closely, only to see a somewhat blurry but no longer chubby little face, along with two rows of highly visible large white teeth.
You little brat!
Looking for trouble, huh?
Lin Yu was startled out of his wits, glaring in anger.
As he spoke, Lin Yu took his phone out of his pocket, turned on the flashlight mode, and shone it at the guy who ambushed him.
Sure enough.
It was Xia Yueshan, that little bastard.
At this moment, with his wrist caught, he was baring his two rows of big white teeth, smiling so widely that his gums were almost showing.
Despite his failed sneak attack and being caught red-handed, Xia Yueshan didn't panic at all.
Facing the bright light of the flashlight and Lin Yu's pale, frightened face, he playfully defended his actions:
Eh?
Why are you back?
I thought a thief had broken into the house.
What thief?
Does a thief use a fingerprint password to unlock and enter your house?
Lin Yu was furious and immediately knocked his phone against Xia Yueshan's forehead, neither too lightly nor too heavily.
Ouch.
Xia Yueshan raised his other free hand to cover his forehead, explaining with a grin:
Didn't I miss the fingerprint unlocking sound?
I just heard footsteps outside the room.
Besides, who can you blame if you don't turn on the lights?
Hearing Xia Yueshan say this, Lin Yu couldn't vent the anger pent up inside him.
Although Xia Yueshan's excuse somewhat justified itself, looking at his two rows of big white teeth and the unstoppable smile on his face.
Lin Yu couldn't help but feel he did it on purpose!
Although he didn't suffer any substantial loss.
But late at night, Lin Yu was genuinely startled by Xia Yueshan's loud shout.
If he just let it go, Lin Yu really couldn't swallow this anger!
Just as the two were in a stalemate, Xia Muzhu, who had been woken up by the noise they made earlier, had already sat up in bed.
After hearing that familiar voice outside the door, she immediately put on her slippers and got out of bed, impatiently opening the bedroom door.
The white bedroom door was pulled open.
With one glance, Xia Muzhu saw the two most important people in her life not far from the door, competing with each other, seemingly arguing over some weird little thing again.
Xia Muzhu looked at the two of them.
Her gentle eyes curved into crescents, brimming with a warm and docile smile.
