Chapter 611: Chapter 611 Fiery Gaze (1)_1

Under Xiao Muli’s intense gaze, Situ Xin swallowed the words about showing off her apple peeling skills. Instead, she blushed, glared at Xiao Muli, and said, "What are you looking at? Is there something worth seeing? Here, your apple." Situ Xin said this and was about to stuff the peeled apple into Xiao Muli’s hand.

When Situ Xin glared at Xiao Muli, in his eyes, it didn’t have any killing power at all. On the contrary, he felt that the glare Situ Xin directed at him was full of charm. It made his heart feel itchy, as if it had been scratched by a cat’s paw.

Xiao Muli, seeing Situ Xin a bit embarrassed and angry as she pushed the apple into his hand, immediately put on a pitiful face and said with a grievance in his voice, looking at Situ Xin, "Baby, I’m hurt."

Situ Xin was taken aback by what Xiao Muli said, and her motion of pushing the apple paused. However, she quickly came back to her senses and said, "Yes, you are hurt, but your hand isn’t injured. It doesn’t affect you holding the apple."

"My hand isn’t injured, but look at it now. These past few days, it’s almost been poked into a hornet’s nest. It hurts." Situ Xin hadn’t expected Xiao Muli to have such a shameless side. Situ Xin looked at Xiao Muli’s hand, noticing the puncture holes and the somewhat bruised back of his hand.

Situ Xin felt a bit of heartache. She retracted the apple she was about to give to Xiao Muli.

Xiao Muli saw Situ Xin retract the apple she was about to give him, and his heart leaped with joy. His benefits for the day looked hopeful.

Situ Xin cut the apple into small pieces and put them in a small bowl. Then she took a fork, speared a piece of apple, and brought it to Xiao Muli’s mouth, "Here you go, eat up." Situ Xin’s ears had already turned red.

Although Situ Xin had lived two lifetimes, she had absolutely no experience with romantic interactions. Therefore, whenever Xiao Muli made any intimate gestures towards her, her face would unconsciously turn red, and sometimes even her ears would turn red.

Xiao Muli bit off the apple from the fork in Situ Xin’s hand and then ate it with a look of enjoyment. While eating, he also said with his mouth full, "Mmm, the apple you peel is so sweet. This is the sweetest apple I’ve ever had."

"You just talk too much. Hmph, if you keep babbling, I won’t feed you anymore," Situ Xin said, seeing that even eating couldn’t keep Xiao Muli’s mouth shut. She pretended to take the plate with the apple away.

Xiao Muli, seeing Situ Xin’s move, hastily pleaded, "Baby, no, I was wrong, I’ll stop babbling." Xiao Muli certainly didn’t want to let this impending treat slip away.

"You’d better not babble." Seeing Xiao Muli’s good attitude in admitting his mistake, Situ Xin continued to hold the plate with the apple and fed him.

"Knock knock, knock knock." While they were halfway through eating the apple, there was a knock on the door of the sickroom.

"Come in." Situ Xin and Xiao Muli thought it was the doctor coming for a check-up, so they didn’t pay much attention. Situ Xin continued to feed Xiao Muli apple, while Xiao Muli spoke unclearly.

"Oh, Baby is here too." The one walking in wasn’t Situ Xin, nor the doctor Xiao Muli expected for rounding, but Situ Jin and Yu Qihao.

When Yu Qihao saw Situ Xin, his expression darkened, especially when he saw the plate in her hands with neatly cut pieces of apple, and Xiao Muli’s chewing mouth, Yu Qihao couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pain in his heart.

Although Yu Qihao had rationalized in his mind to let go of Situ Xin, understanding it was one thing, but truly seeing it in the moment, the heartache was something he couldn’t endure.

Situ Xin, seeing the visitors, showed an embarrassed expression. She hadn’t expected it to be her brother Situ Jin and Yu Qihao. Holding the plate in her hand, she didn’t know whether to put it down or keep holding it. And Xiao Muli, noticing Situ Xin’s awkwardness, took the opportunity to say to her, "Baby, I want to eat an apple."

Xiao Muli’s interjection earned him a warning glare from Situ Xin. However, Xiao Muli wasn’t afraid of Situ Xin’s warning gaze at all, instead, he gave her a look of grievance.

Situ Xin’s lips twitched slightly.

Situ Jin, who was slow to realize, only noticed the plate and fork in his precious sister’s hand when Xiao Muli asked for the apple. His gaze towards Xiao Muli suddenly changed, filled with jealousy. "Xiao Muli, you, you actually let Baby peel and feed you apples, you’ve gone too far."

As Situ Jin spoke, he couldn’t help feeling bitter, thinking that he, her brother, had never eaten an apple peeled by his beloved sister, Situ Xin. How could Xiao Muli, an outsider who was nothing to them, get to eat an apple personally peeled and fed to him by Situ Xin?

"Jin, I’m a patient," Xiao Muli said, utterly self-righteous.

"Hmph, it’s not your hands that are injured, can’t you peel it yourself?" Situ Jin was uncompromising when it came to his beloved little sister’s affairs.

Situ Xin, watching her brother Situ Jin and Xiao Muli bicker, thought that if it were any other matter, she might have enjoyed watching them from the sidelines, but if they were arguing because of her, she couldn’t stand it.

"Stop it, you two. Brother, I’ll peel an apple for you. Brother Qihao, I’ll peel one for you too." As soon as Situ Xin said this, Xiao Muli’s face darkened, Situ Jin’s face blossomed into a smile, while Yu Qihao said to himself, "Consider this a bit of pleasant memory to hold onto for the future."

Xiao Muli was extremely reluctant to have Situ Xin peel fruit for any other man besides himself, especially when one of those men harbored lascivious thoughts for her, but seeing the warning look in her eyes, he had no choice but to shut his mouth.

After Situ Xin had peeled an apple for each, Situ Jin and Yu Qihao, she told the three of them she had some matters to attend to and left first. She did not want to stay around these two, vying for her attention.

However, Situ Xin secretly wondered in her heart, when did her brother become so dense, failing to notice Xiao Muli’s ulterior motives towards her and the oddness during their encounters outside school.
