Chapter 499: Chapter 497 Opportunity Knocks But Once_1

Xiaoxiao had assumed that it was just Mu Zisu’s peculiar habits acting up again, but unexpectedly, he gently placed her extended foot on his leg and then took out a medicine box from the side...

Only then did she come to a sudden realization, and after understanding what was going on, her heart couldn’t help but swell with intense sweetness...

"I can do it myself..." she said, somewhat embarrassed.

"Opportunities lost are lost forever. Are you sure you want to do it yourself?" Mu Zisu asked, his head lowered, but then he suddenly looked up at her teasingly.

Xiaoxiao gave a dry laugh. "Then you do it..."

Mu Zisu moved as smoothly as flowing water, quickly lancing and medicating the blister on her foot.

"The other one..." His deep, magnetic voice resonated in the quiet bedroom, tugging at heartstrings.

Xiaoxiao extended her other foot with a smile in her eyes, watching Mu Zisu frown as he focused on his task seriously, and she suddenly felt that she would have no regrets in dying at this very moment...

Suddenly...

She remembered how Mu Zisu had given her a cold expression earlier that evening...

Without thinking, a remark blurted out from her lips. "It seems like we didn’t say goodbye to Aunt Ning and the others when we left today..."

As she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a sharp twinge of pain on her foot...

She involuntarily hissed in a breath...

It wasn’t that she was being overly sensitive, but Mu Zisu’s touch had been so gentle up until then that she had barely felt any pain, so the sudden jab took her by surprise...

After the pain subsided, Xiaoxiao immediately closed her mouth, realizing that her careless comment had accidentally upset him again...

The subsequent actions were quick and rough. Xiaoxiao felt that Mu Zisu treated her left and right feet with completely different attitudes—like heaven and earth...

She pouted, blaming herself...

In the end, Mu Zisu even flicked her foot off his leg and then looked at it as if he found it repulsive before getting off the bed and heading to the bathroom.

Xiaoxiao looked incredulously at Mu Zisu’s tall and straight silhouette. In the past, Mu Zisu sported only one expression and always treated her with icy aloofness. But lately, she truly understood what it meant to change faces as quickly as flipping through a book...

His moods shifted faster than the weather...

One moment it was sunny skies, and the next, there were thunderstorms. No, he didn’t even give the warning of thunder before raining down—it was more like a sudden deluge...

With that thought, she snuggled into the bed. She always had the illusion that Mu Zisu’s bed was much more comfortable than her own...

She couldn’t tell if it was because she was conditioned by sleeping on this bed from her first day here, or if it was just her mind playing tricks on her, but she felt it was much more comfortable than her current bedding...

Adjusting to a comfortable position, covering half her face with the blanket, she closed her eyes and drifted off to meet the Sandman...

When Mu Zisu came out of the bathroom, he found the bedroom eerily quiet. He thought Xiaoxiao had taken the chance to sneak back to her own room while he was away. He took a few steps forward and then noticed the person who had already crawled into bed...

Approaching, he looked at the person curled up in bed like a lazy cat and couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile...

If only Xiaoxiao were an obedient pet that didn’t irritate him...

He lifted the blanket and lay down, then brazenly reached out and pulled Xiaoxiao into his arms...

Xiaoxiao, who was hovering between wakefulness and sleep, her mind hazy, was instantly jolted awake by Mu Zisu’s movements...

She blinked in slight bewilderment, only then realizing that she had actually fallen asleep while Mu Zisu was in the bathroom...

Lately, she had not been getting a good night’s rest, and tonight she was especially exhausted, so once her nerves relaxed, sleep came easily...

Just as she was about to lift her head to take a look at Mu Zisu, she barely raised her face when the man embracing her bent down and kissed her...

Her body trembled, her cheeks suddenly flushing, and her body followed suit with a surge of warmth...

She coveted his breath, his tenderness toward her.

At that moment, he shed his frosty exterior, like a fire, fervently enveloping her...

His large hand roamed over her back, gentle and soft, making no further moves...

Her breathing was erratic, her heart both expectant and inexplicably panicked, she didn’t know why she felt this panic, but it was as though a voice inside her head was reminding her, "You can’t, you can’t..."

She was torn, clearly aware of her love for Mu Zisu, but why couldn’t she break through the shackles of her own thoughts and truly give herself to him?

Just as she had made up her mind, Mu Zisu suddenly ended that torturous kiss...

The hand that had been roaming on her back also stopped, holding her tightly in his arms...

"Sleep," he said.

Mu Zisu’s breath was as hot as fire, puffing by her ear like waves of heat emitted before a volcanic eruption...

It made her heart and her body alike burn as if they had been swept through fire, astonishingly hot...

Mu Zisu knew she was shy, but he didn’t want to force her; he wanted to wait for the day when she was willing.

When Xiaoxiao heard his words, a string in her heart snapped, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief before slowly closing her eyes.

The next morning, Mu Zisu got up on time, extraordinarily careful not to wake Xiaoxiao, lest they repeat the previous incident of snoozing together until eight.

It was fine once or twice, but such a routine wasn’t sustainable every day...

When Xiaoxiao awoke, she thought she was in her own room since she was alone in bed, but as soon as she opened her eyes, she immediately realized this was Mu Zisu’s room.

Glancing at the empty space beside her, she remembered that Mu Zisu had the habit of morning exercise, something he did daily...

That was probably for the best, as it meant she could be a little more at ease.

She went back to her own room to freshen up, change clothes, and then went downstairs for breakfast.

Mu Zisu seemed much brighter than the previous days, and his attitude towards her was not as indifferent as before; during breakfast, he even said, "Take your time eating... no rush..."

After the initial shock, Xiaoxiao felt pleasantly surprised; didn’t she want to be together with him too?

She was afraid he would leave right after breakfast without another thought...

But from his words, did it mean he intended to wait for her today?

She once again marveled inwardly at how quickly and effortlessly Mu Zisu could change, as if turning the pages of a book, so confident and forthright.

But it made sense, after all, he was the boss; he could do as he pleased, and even if he changed his demeanor three times a minute, she wouldn’t dare to do anything about it...
