In Mu Xun's mind, if you like someone, you should go for it. Flirt with them. Otherwise, where's that supposed to lead?
But if the person you like happens to like you too, and is even better at flirting than you are... one of you is bound to surrender and run away.
Unfortunately for Mu Xun, it was her.
She held out a forkful of cake, and he turned his head and took the fork right into his mouth.
When he was wiping her hand, she grabbed his. He simply shifted their hands until their fingers were interlaced.
In the drying room, her little hand wandered up to his neck.
He ran his tongue over his teeth. "What are you trying to do? Hmm?"
Her voice was small. "I think I want to do something naughty."
His eyes darkened, their depths slowly growing more intense. "Do you really think I wouldn't dare do anything?"
She tilted her head, meeting his gaze. "Would you dare?"
"Heh." He gave a cool laugh and pulled her over. "Come on, let's find out."
Mu Xun thought her disastrous first meeting with Lu Baiting was behind her. After they reunited, he began drawing closer, quietly and little by little.
Perhaps from that day onward, they had been circling around one another's worlds, hoping to make up for all the time they'd lost, hoping that every day ahead would be a determined journey through wind and rain toward love.
With you, time is bright, the years are a place to lean on, and all things are lovely.
*A calculating, dominant, and outrageously confident man x a mischievous, eccentric little troublemaker
