The room was silent.

Ling Chuan drank a bowl of warm water, and when he raised his eyes, he couldn't help but glance at the boy who was blocked by the curtain. From this perspective, he could only see a blurry profile...

Ling Chuan stared at it for a long time, not knowing whether it was because he couldn't see enough or because he felt that the curtain was an eyesore, so he stood up, strided over to the bed with his long legs and lifted it up.

In this way, he could clearly see the young man's even breathing by lowering his eyebrows.

Ling Chuan's eyes seemed to be tracing the other person's eyebrows and eyes over and over again. His eyes gradually became several degrees deeper, and finally fixed on the other person's pink and moist lips. Suddenly, his throat tightened, and his sexy Adam's apple rolled up and down...

Perhaps it was because the man's gaze was too hot, Xia Mo suddenly let out a moan, and her crow-feather-like eyelashes moved slightly. The tall figure, who was so frightened that he felt guilty, suddenly froze and even held his breath.

Fortunately, Xia Mo soon fell back into deep sleep as if nothing had happened, and Ling Chuan finally dared to relax as his heart seemed to have stopped beating suddenly.

He sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the little brother, with helplessness in his eyes.

Alas, I never thought that one day he would become so cautious, for fear of scaring someone.

Ling Chuan raised his hand, and gently touched the boy's tender lips with his rough fingertips. Then he raised his hand to the inside of the bed and slowly leaned down.

In the shadow, the man's cold thin lips lightly imprinted on Xia Mo's delicate eyebrows.

I love you... You can't escape, my little husband.

After a brief taste, Ling Chuan sat up straight. He took a deep look at the unaware young man, then stood up, lowered the curtain and left, not disturbing him to rest...

Xia Mo knew nothing about this. He slept in a daze, and when he woke up it was already afternoon.

Xia Mo sat on the bed in a daze for a while. Suddenly, an electric current seemed to flash through his brain, and the eye-catching and heart-pounding scene before going to bed instantly appeared in his mind.

Hey!

Xia Mo shuddered and instantly became sober.

His sleepy eyes immediately cleared up, and he lowered his head and lifted the quilt to take a look. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and put on his clothes intactly...

Phew~, that’s great, he hasn’t been so lustful that he would do something so bold as to pounce on his prey like a hungry wolf.

Xia Mo thought about it randomly for a while, and scratched his hair in annoyance, feeling a little crazy. It was all Ling Chuan's fault. His fingers were like small electric rods, making his heart ripple. And before, he always made some seductive moves!

But despite this, he didn't feel offended... Damn it, he couldn't really fall in love with Ling Chuan!

This realization made Xia Mo's eyes suddenly widen and his mouth slightly opened. He wailed in his heart, then fell forward softly, burying his blushing face in the quilt.

After being depressed for a long time, he finally accepted the fact that he had fallen so easily. Never mind, just let it go. If the other party could also regard him as the only one, then he would not lose anything...

Xia Mo shook his head, then turned over, got out of bed, and walked out.

He looked around the yard and didn't see Ling Chuan, but the messy place had been cleaned up.

Seeing this, Xia Mo touched his nose in embarrassment. After all, after making the house a mess, he, the source of the trouble, went to sleep soundly. It was a bit unreasonable.

But then again, what about the people from Lingchuan?

Xia Mo went back to the kitchen and still didn't see anyone, but there should be food warming in the pot. Could he have just gone out?

Smelling the aroma of the food, Xia Mo's stomach made a rumbling sound of protest, so he thought for a moment and walked to the stove and lifted the wooden lid on it.

Upon closer inspection, there was a dish of chicken and rice. Xia Mo remembered that the pheasant in the yard was still there, so these chickens should have been from the spilled chicken soup. It seemed that Ling Chuan picked them up, washed them and fried them again.

Xia Mo had no objection to this. When he was in the orphanage, due to limited funds, they often couldn't even get a piece of lean meat to eat, so he also understood how hard it was to get food.

Xia Mo brought the food to the square wooden table, looked outside a few times, and still didn't see Ling Chuan come back, so he took another bowl, scooped half a bowl of rice, then sat down and started eating.

When he finished his meal, Ling Chuan had not come back yet.

Seeing that even the dirty clothes he had worn this morning had been washed, Xia Mo scratched his head. It seemed that there was nothing for him to do at home for the time being.

As for doing farm work, up to now, he only knows that the vegetable field opposite his house belongs to him, but he had already weeded it two days ago.

So, what to do now?

Xia Mo was a bit bored. He looked up at the sky and decided to take a walk nearby. After all, Liu Dazhi's family had just made a fuss and lost four taels of money. Xia Mo thought that they had not been in the mood to come and hang around him recently.

Even if there is, I guess they will consider their own pockets first, haha.

Thinking of this, Xia Mo walked out in a good mood. However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Ling Chuan carrying two large sacks of bamboo shoots with a hoe. It turned out that he had gone to dig bamboo shoots.

Ling Chuan didn't expect the little brother to wake up so quickly, so he asked, "Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten, just eaten. Brother Ling, please come in quickly." Xia Mo said as he quickly pushed open all the wooden doors and retreated back to the yard to let him in.

Ling Chuan didn't say much, and walked in steadily carrying two large bags.

When Xia Mo saw him coming back, he changed his mind about going out for a walk. He closed the door first, then walked up to Ling Chuan, looked at the bamboo shoots and said, "Brother Ling, why did you suddenly think of digging this?"

"The previous ones were much more broken." Ling Chuan replied.

All those dried bamboo shoots were made by the young man with great effort. Especially since the young man was very enthusiastic at the beginning and told him a lot about how to make dried bamboo shoots, he picked up his hoe and dug up two big bags without thinking.

"Oh~." Xia Mo took a look at the ones he had dried before. They were indeed ruined and there was not much left. "So are all these used to dry bamboo shoots?"

Ling Chuan shook his head, "No, the stir-fry you made last time was also delicious."

Xia Mo smiled. He didn't expect Ling Chuan would like to eat it. "Then let's save some for stir-frying." Although the other party said that the rainy season was coming, the fish had already been dug, and with two people at home, there was no need to worry that one person would not be able to clean up in time when it rained.

Seeing the young man's smiling face, Ling Chuan's mouth corners also slightly raised. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he actually felt that the young man seemed more calm when facing him than before.

"You go eat first. I left some for you in the kitchen. I'll peel them first and cook them when I'm done." Xia Mo said.

However, Ling Chuan's focus was on the first half of his sentence. He frowned slightly and said in a dull tone, "I've eaten it. That's for you."

"Oh, it's okay. I'm full. Let's peel these together." Xia Mo changed his words readily. Perhaps it was because of his changed mindset, he actually felt that the man's expression looked inexplicably cute.

Ling Chuan noticed the boy's eyes that were as bright as stars, and his slightly frowned brows soon relaxed. He nodded and said, "Okay."
