Sure enough, the whole army recited immediately, “Sister-in-law, we’re sorry. We were wrong!”
The strong voices embarrassed her.
Her face was all red as she looked toward Gu Mingye. She reached her foot out to kick him.
Before she even touched him, Gu Mingye yelled out in an innocent and aggrieved manner, “Sister-in-law, what did I do wrong!”
“Don’t say any more!” Li Beinian was frustrated and went ahead with the kick.
Gu Mingye hurriedly evaded it. “Boss, shouldn’t you take her in hand!”
“Say it again!” Li Beinian went forward.
Gu Mingye hurriedly started running. “What did I do wrong, why are both of you bullying me! You’re both the same!”
Li Beinian was even more embarrassed now. “Hold it right there!”
Gu Mingye yelled as he ran around the army.
Everyone enjoyed watching the show.
They began laughing, but not a single one came forward to help him out.
Li Beinian was annoyed by their roaring laughter.
It must be him!
The rumors were spreading. Everyone was talking about how her relationship with Mu Xichen wasn’t “that simple”.
She had to hit him today!
Gu Mingye hid behind Mu Xichen. “Boss, Boss, help me!”
Mu Xichen stood straight as usual.
He simply smiled and said to Gu Mingye, “Serves you right.”
Gu Mingye was about to burst into tears. “Why is my life so hard… How could you turn against me like this!”
Li Beinian was fuming, but Gu Mingye was hiding behind Mu Xichen.
Eventually, she stopped trying to get him as she stood before Mu Xichen, panting.
Gu Mingye heaved a sigh of relief and tried to catch his breath too.
But Li Beinian suddenly lunged forward and grabbed his shirt.
Gu Mingye immediately shouted, “Save me!”
He then started to run again, and the sudden force caused Li Beinian to fall onto Mu Xichen.
It was a familiar scent.
Clean and refreshing.
Mu Xichen held her tightly and looked down at her.
His eyes seemed to hold the universe.
Li Beinian’s heart skipped a beat at that moment.
“Wowww!”
They began making such sounds in the background.
Li Beinian reflexively pushed him away.
Mu Xichen took a step back, but his eyes were still on her.
Those gentle eyes.
Everyone saw it. And her fair cheeks were now blushing too.
They made an even greater commotion as some of them began whistling.
Mu Xichen took a small step forward, but before he got close to her, Li Beinian had already turned around and run away.
She took off so quickly.
Mu Xichen smiled as he watched her back view vanish into the distance.
–
Perhaps it was the run that had Li Beinian’s heart pounding so quickly.
She touched her face.
It was so hot!
Ah… how embarrassing!
There was nothing between them, but the way they added those sound effects… Li Beinian felt as if…
As if… her feelings had changed…
