Chapter 817: I Just Want to Marry Her (7)
Although Mu Ke took Jiayu to stay at a hotel, he didn’t leave S City.
The next noon, Mu Xin came out to have lunch with them, then she accompanied Jiayu back to the hotel, while Mu Ke went home once.
"Sister Sheng, don’t worry, my mom is just someone who wants to keep face, but she can’t win against my brother."
During lunch, Mu Xin kept complaining about police academy stuff, barely mentioning yesterday’s events, and only when they returned to the hotel did she start eagerly advising Jiayu.
Jiayu looked at her cute little face and laughed, "Thanks, I’m fine."
Mu Xin plopped down on the hotel sofa, "That’s good. Sister Sheng, let me tell you, I’ve never seen my brother lose his temper like that or treat anyone so well."
Jiayu smiled and nodded, "Yeah, he treats me well."
Mu Xin’s eyes immediately brightened, leaning over with gossip written all over her face, "Sister Sheng, tell me, what’s it like to date my brother? He’s so cold and wooden, he can’t possibly know how to coax you, right? How did he even manage to win you over? Did he hold a surgical knife in one hand and say, ’If you don’t agree, I’ll cut you up’?"
Jiayu was drinking water and couldn’t hold back, spraying out a mouthful as Mu Xin laughed even brighter. Jiayu coughed loudly a few times, staring wide-eyed at the little girl in front of her.
Her imagination is too vivid, huh? How is she suited to be a cop, she’s clearly fit to be a screenwriter.
As for her saying Mu Ke is cold and wooden?
Cold?
To outsiders maybe, but to her... Jiayu’s mind involuntarily recalled some intimate moments, is that what you call cold? That’s unbelievably hot, okay?
Wooden?
A man who runs to your house on New Year’s Eve to make dumplings for you and says "Because of you, I look forward to marriage" — is he wooden?
Don’t even get started on how romantic that is, okay?
Jiayu lowered her head with a brief smile and said again, "He’s really nice."
Mu Ke may be cold, but he warms only her; he may be wooden, but he’s romantic for her alone.
Mu Xin watched the blush that spread across Jiayu’s cheeks. She’s never dated, but back in high school, she had a crush on a classmate, and whenever he talked to her a bit more she’d turn into the same state as Jiayu now.
Mu Xin looked at Jiayu with envy, "Sister Sheng, looking at you, I really want a relationship too, what should I do?"
Jiayu suddenly laughed again, reaching out to tap Mu Xin’s head, "You can date."
Mu Xin pouted, "Nah, I’d rather just be in love with my gun right now."
Then, Mu Xin thought of something and said, "Oh, Sister Sheng, can I ask you about your previous marriage?"
This topic is a bit sensitive, but Mu Xin’s pair of "I’m just purely curious" eyes made it impossible for Jiayu to refuse.
She pursed her lips and explained briefly, Mu Xin’s cute little face almost scrunched into a bun, and when Jiayu finished, she jumped up without hesitation, "Damn, that’s new level scummy!"
Jiayu realized that while she was talking to Mu Xin about her past marriage, about Xin Ke, about Su Wan, she felt nothing at all, as if she was merely recalling an insignificant event.
Even the previous lingering sentiments had completely vanished.
