Chapter 163 The Mud Sticks
Su Rui sat at the desk, randomly pulling a book from the bookshelf to flip through. Since Su Rui had thanked Lin Aoxue earlier, the two had maintained this wordless state.
Lin Aoxue sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes gazing at the moonlight outside the window, lost in thought, who knows what she was thinking about.
Su Rui closed the book, recalling how they had been laughing together earlier but had now returned to this awkward silence. He observed Lin Aoxue’s still slightly flushed cheeks and gently tapped his finger on the desk.
“Hey, classmate Lin Aoxue,” Su Rui asked with a smile.
“What?” Lin Aoxue snapped back from her reverie, looking at Su Rui’s smiling face, suddenly feeling that whatever this guy was about to say definitely had no good intentions.
“Can we discuss something?”
“What thing?” Lin Aoxue felt increasingly uneasy.
“I think you’re too cute, I want to kiss you.” Su Rui’s expression grew even more radiant.
“Get lost.” Lin Aoxue’s pretty face turned slightly red as she glared at Su Rui.
Before knowing Su Rui, Lin Aoxue had maintained an iceberg-like state in both language and expression. But after this period of time, her expressions and language had become increasingly vivid and occasionally carried a hint of liveliness—of course, this was only in front of Su Rui.
But compared to before, this was already great progress.
Another moment of silence followed. Su Rui kept smiling as he observed Lin Aoxue, while she lowered her head, avoiding his gaze.
Finally, seemingly unable to endure this undisguised staring, Lin Aoxue huffed, “I’m going to sleep.”
Then, this young lady of the Lin family actually pulled back the thin blanket on the bed and directly lay down, closing her eyes, completely ignoring Su Rui.
Watching Lin Aoxue lie down to rest, the handsome Su was truly stunned. Isn’t this too open? Could it be that she was doing this deliberately, as some kind of psychological hint to him?
Su Rui didn’t know if Lin Aoxue was giving him a hint. He struggled with this thought for a moment, then shook his head. Based on her personality, she truly didn’t take him seriously.
But this woman really didn’t understand her situation. Didn’t she know how powerfully destructive it was for a loser like Su Rui when she lay on the bed wearing pajamas?
“A single man and woman alone in a room, fortunately I’m a good person, otherwise you’d be in danger,” Su Rui rubbed his nose, muttering to himself.
Lin Aoxue kept her eyes closed, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, seemingly not hearing Su Rui’s words.
Seeing Lin Aoxue ignoring him, Su Rui said irritably, “Hey, you’re just going to sleep like this? It’s the middle of the night, how am I supposed to sleep? You can’t expect me to take a car back to the hotel, right?”
Lin Aoxue still didn’t make a sound.
“Then I’ll just sleep here.”
“Do whatever you want.” Lin Aoxue finally replied, then turned over, leaving her infinitely beautiful back to Su Rui.
Looking at the curvy silhouette, Su Rui picked up the water from the table, moistening his burning throat, then adjusted the swivel chair to a very comfortable angle.
“Hey, I have a habit of sleepwalking. If I wander to your bed in the middle of the night in a daze, don’t make a fuss,” Su Rui joked.
“Then I’ll kick you into a eunuch.” Lin Aoxue coldly dropped this line, though her words were icy, they carried a hint of a smile, a very curious feeling.
Su Rui finally stopped teasing, and after adjusting his sleeping position, he said softly, “We’re all tired today, sleep well.”
Moonlight poured in from the window, its pure color filling the room, such a peaceful night.
…
At six o’clock the next morning, Su Rui’s biological clock woke him up on time. This guy had a strength: he could enter deep sleep anytime, anywhere, whether in harsh outdoor natural conditions or in this relatively comfortable swivel chair.
However, maintaining one position for too long always causes muscle soreness. Su Rui stood up supporting himself on the chair, looked at the sunlight outside the window, and comfortably stretched—another beautiful day.
Every morning should be filled with hope.
Lin Aoxue had also awakened. Seeing Su Rui, she was stunned for a moment, then remembered what had happened last night and said, “You slept in the chair all night?”
A beauty is always a beauty. Even just waking up, with slightly messy hair and slightly puffy cheeks, she still had a unique charm.
“Yes.” Su Rui looked at her appearance, unable to take his eyes off, and smiled, “Do you feel guilty now?”
“What’s there to feel guilty about?”
Lin Aoxue thought about how she had actually shared a room with Su Rui for an entire night, and couldn’t help but find it incredible. Her heart suddenly accelerated, and a slight blush crept up her cheeks.
This kind of thing was truly unbelievable; even a month ago, it would absolutely never have happened to Lin Aoxue.
She looked up and found Su Rui watching her with bright eyes, seemingly without any ulterior motives.
“I’m overthinking it,” Lin Aoxue thought, touching her slightly warm cheeks.
“Um, comrade Aoxue, do you mind if I use your bathroom?”
Su Rui’s words pulled Lin Aoxue back to reality from her reverie.
“No.” Lin Aoxue immediately refused upon hearing this.
What a joke, this bathroom had only been used by her, and now this bastard Su Rui wanted to use it too? How could that be? Their relationship wasn’t that intimate yet, was it?
“But I want to take a shower. You know, I was at the police station until midnight last night, and now after waking up, I haven’t even washed my face. Would you really let me go to work looking so messy?” Su Rui said pitifully.
“There are bathrooms in other rooms too.” Lin Aoxue wouldn’t let Su Rui have his way so easily.
“But I want to use yours. I can’t use Aunt Li’s, can I?” Su Rui, smelling Lin Aoxue’s faint fragrance and looking at the goddess’s delicate face without makeup, couldn’t help but feel that this life was truly wonderful.
“I’ve already been to the police station. Using your bathroom to take a shower is such a small request, you wouldn’t refuse, would you?” Su Rui appealed to her emotions and reason, not giving up at all.
Lin Aoxue suddenly felt that refusing Su Rui’s small request was too petty, after all, he had done so many dangerous things for Bikan Group. So she bit her lip and said, “Using it isn’t impossible, it’s just…”
“Just what?” Su Rui saw a glimmer of hope, his eyes shining.
“Just that I need to use it first.” After saying this, Lin Aoxue entered the bathroom with a slightly red face. Su Rui hadn’t yet realized what was happening and was about to follow her in when he nearly got his nose hit by the forcefully closed door.
Now Su Rui understood what was going on. After sleeping all night, the goddess also needed to relieve herself.
Well, who says beautiful women only go to the bathroom to touch up their makeup?
Finally, after waiting for two minutes, Lin Aoxue opened the door with a red face, only to see Su Rui with his ear against the door, eavesdropping.
“Go take your shower.”
As Lin Aoxue spoke, her right hand pinched Su Rui’s ribs hard, causing him to let out a scream of pain.
However, being pinched by a beauty like this could be considered a painful pleasure.
Su Rui entered the bathroom with a loser’s mindset, his heart pounding.
However, he didn’t find any changed underwear or similar items. Lin Aoxue’s bathroom was very clean, without even a single strand of hair.
So, Su Rui could only sheepishly start his shower.
Su Rui showered quickly, resolving everything in five minutes. Lin Aoxue had gone into the bathroom earlier and had already prepared towels, bath towels, and slippers for him.
“Why does this feel like a wife preparing things for her husband?”
Su Rui rubbed his nose, looking at the neatly folded bath towels and hand towels, and couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction.
Well, we losers are easily satisfied, contentment brings happiness!
If other men knew Su Rui’s thoughts at this moment, they would probably be furious. Having a goddess like Lin Aoxue prepare things for him and still saying he’s easily satisfied—this was simply asking to be struck by lightning.
At this moment, Lin Aoxue’s room door was opened from the outside.
“Mom, why didn’t you knock before coming in?” Lin Aoxue said somewhat dissatisfied.
Her gossip-loving mother, Wei Shuling, looked at her daughter with equal dissatisfaction and said with a pout, “You’ve always asked me to respect your privacy since you were little, but you’re my daughter! Can’t I enter your room whenever I want?”
“Do you need something?” Lin Aoxue was truly afraid of her mother’s mouth, which was many times more formidable than a machine gun.
“Look, look at how you talk to your mother! This daughter is really not considerate.” Wei Shuling complained indignantly.
Lin Aoxue couldn’t help but cover her forehead. She said helplessly, “It’s early in the morning, is there something you need?”
Wei Shuling then remembered and said, “I just thought I heard someone screaming in your room, so I came to check. Is everything okay?”
“What scream?”
Lin Aoxue was confused, then suddenly her expression changed!
Wasn’t it when she pinched Su Rui’s ribs, and he screamed worse than a slaughtered pig?
“What’s going on?”
Wei Shuling very keenly noticed that her daughter’s expression was somewhat abnormal, and immediately became concerned!
“Why are you so scared that your face has turned pale? Quickly tell mom, did someone break in earlier trying to take advantage of you?” Wei Shuling’s tone also became serious!
Thinking about Su Rui still taking a shower in her bathroom, Lin Aoxue felt her head was about to explode. This was truly a situation that couldn’t be explained away.
“No, nothing happened, please go out, I need to change clothes.” Lin Aoxue hurriedly tried to push her mother out.
However, Lin Aoxue’s acting skills were really too poor. The more she acted this way, the more suspicious Wei Shuling became!
“There must be something going on here.” Wei Shuling looked at her daughter and said in a suspicious tone, “Don’t I know you? If nothing was wrong, would you have this expression?”
“Really, nothing’s wrong, please go out.” Lin Aoxue anxiously continued pushing her mother out.
“I don’t believe you.” Wei Shuling tilted her ear towards the bathroom and listened: “Is someone taking a shower in the bathroom? Let me go check.”
