Chapter 614: Extra 027 Sweet Daily Life (Second Update), Really Sweet

“The room is inside.

Xin Zaozao’s chilly voice speaks unhurriedly.

Mu Cidian just listens.

Xin Zaozao speaks seriously again, “Mu Cidian, rather than be tormented by me, you’d better stop caring about Wan Quan, let her go back to having nothing. I’ll give you all the benefits you want.”

“I can’t do that,” Mu Cidian confirms.

He also feels that his mother has drained all of his feelings, but he can’t abandon her.

Even if he can no longer give emotionally, he will guarantee it financially.

Xin Zaozao chuckles, “One day, you’ll fall into Wan Quan’s trap too. You’re bound to die with her in this lifetime.”

Mu Cidian does not refute.

Xin Zaozao puts down the phone, “Whether you want to continue being trampled by me, it’s up to you. But if you cross paths with Wan Quan again, if she picks a fight and involves you, I won’t leave you with any dignity.”

“Alright.”

He nods.

Xin Zaozao says no more.

She covers herself with the blanket and goes to sleep.

Mu Cidian watches her lie down before slowly getting into bed.

He sleeps at a distance from Xin Zaozao.

There’s a deep chasm between the two.

“Mu Cidian, I hope you can learn how to please me,” Xin Zaozao suddenly says.

Mu Cidian turns around.

“I’ve reminded you before, but you don’t seem to be doing very well. What I want is not some wooden block,” Xin Zaozao states bluntly.

“Alright.” Mu Cidian answers.

He suddenly moves closer to Xin Zaozao.

Xin Zaozao looks at him.

“I really don’t want to remind you about this every time,” Xin Zaozao speaks again.

“Alright.” Mu Cidian nods.

“Your skills are mediocre, I hope you can learn more.”

“…Alright.”

The night grows much deeper.

Mu Cidian tries hard to please Xin Zaozao.

Xin Zaozao accepts silently.

She’s subjected to loveless pleasure.

…

The following day.

Mu Cidian gets up early to make breakfast as usual.

Xin Zaozao sits at the table.

Mu Cidian places breakfast in front of her.

Xin Zaozao looks at Mu Cidian.

She hadn’t noticed the previous night, but now sees the scratch marks on his face and neck.

They obviously weren’t left by her.

Apart from the night when she was drugged and lost control, she wouldn’t have lost control to the point of scratching Mu Cidian. His skills hadn’t reached that level yet.

Seemingly noticing her gaze, Mu Cidian says, “My mom left them.”

“I know, but I don’t want to see them.”

“I’ll go to the hospital later.”

Xin Zaozao says no more.

Suddenly, the dining table goes quiet.

If she doesn’t speak, Mu Cidian truly doesn’t initiate conversation.

She puts down her chopsticks and bowl.

Seeing her action, Mu Cidian asks, “Does it not suit your taste?”

“Can’t you learn how to please someone?”

Mu Cidian looks at her.

“Can’t you talk voluntarily?”

Mu Cidian swallows slightly.

“Can you smile?”

Mu Cidian continues looking at her.

“Mu Cidian, you really make me feel bored.”

“Sorry,” Mu Cidian hurriedly responds, “I’ll change slowly.”

“I’m not that patient.”

“How about I feed you?” Mu Cidian suddenly changes the topic.

Xin Zaozao is taken aback.

Mu Cidian picks up the vegetable porridge in front of Xin Zaozao and moves closer to her.

Xin Zaozao frowns.

“Ah,” Mu Cidian signals for her to open her mouth.

Seemingly hesitant, Xin Zaozao opens her mouth.

Mu Cidian feeds her spoonful by spoonful.

After finishing.

Mu Cidian wipes her mouth with a napkin, “Do you want more?”

“No need.”

Xin Zaozao stands up and leaves the dining table.

Mu Cidian secretly takes a deep breath.

He really doesn’t know how to please people.

His early attempts to woo Xin Zaozao when they were young weren’t about pleasantry, he just did some simple things. Back then, Xin Zaozao was easy to trick, but now, she can’t be fooled.

He quickly finishes his breakfast and washes the dishes.

Leaving the kitchen, he sees Xin Zaozao sitting on the sofa, watching TV.

Surprisingly, she hasn’t left today.

“Don’t you have to work today?” Mu Cidian initiates conversation.

He’s trying his best to take the initiative to talk.

“No work.”

“Would you like to go out for a walk?”

“No.”

“What do you want to eat at noon today?”

“I’m not picky.”

“Then I’ll go out to buy some groceries and clean my wounds at the hospital while I’m there,” said Mu Cidian.

“Hmm,” Xin Zaozao nodded.

Mu Cidian went to his room to change his clothes.

As he was leaving, Xin Zaozao suddenly called out to him, “Where are you going to shop?”

“The supermarket across the street.”

“About how long will it take?”

“Half an hour.”

“Wait for me.”

“Hmm?” Mu Cidian was surprised.

Xin Zaozao didn’t bother explaining, she got up and went to her room to change her clothes.

Mu Cidian asked, “Are you coming along?”

“I am going out to buy some personal stuff.”

“Okay.”

Mu Cidian and Xin Zaozao left the house together.

It’s been more than half a year since Mu Cidian was released from prison in March. Autumn had arrived and the weather was starting to cool down.

Xin Zaozao was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, a pair of jeans, her hair casually tied up in a bun, this casual outfit made her look at least five years younger.

In fact, she’s only 26. If it wasn’t for her current status, she’d still be just a young lass.

Mu Cidian suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand.

Xin Zaozao furrowed her brows.

“Your hand is cold,” Mu Cidian said.

And as he spoke, he wrapped her hand tightly in his.

Xin Zaozao stifled a response and did not pull away.

Together, hand-in-hand, they first went to the community hospital.

After examining the wounds on his face and neck, the doctor said, “No need to bandage, just disinfect and medicate.”

“I prefer it to be bandaged,” Mu Cidian insisted.

Because Xin Zaozao didn’t like it.

“Your wound is quite long, if you bandage it, it will be pretty conspicuous, and it’s not conducive to healing as it doesn’t allow air-circulation,” the doctor explained.

“But…”

“Let’s not bandage it then,” Xin Zaozao suddenly interrupted.

The doctor couldn’t help but laugh, “See! Your girlfriend is braver than you, a man making such a fuss about a minor injury.”

“I’m not her girlfriend,” Xin Zaozao clarified.

“Not a girlfriend, yet holding hands this tight,” the doctor teased.

“Maybe they’re married,” one of the nurses joked from the side.

Mu Cidian felt a bit awkward.

So did Xin Zaozao.

Xin Zaozao tried to pull her hand back, but Mu Cidian held on even tighter.

After medicating Mu Cidian’s wounds and giving him some antibiotics to take home, the two finally left the community hospital.

Stepping out of the community hospital, they headed together to the supermarket across the street.

Mu Cidian bought some vegetables.

Xin Zaozao went to the personal care section and bought some private necessities.

She always liked to stock up on daily necessities, sanitary products and personal care items, that she took a whole big basket of them.

After picking up vegetables, Mu Cidian went over to help Xin Zaozao with her shopping.

He saw a pile of sanitary pads inside.

Xin Zaozao noticed that Mu Cidian didn’t show any discomfort. She didn’t refuse his offer to help either.

They queued to pay for their items.

At the checkout, Mu Cidian spotted condoms on the shelf and after some thought, he grabbed two boxes.

He immediately second-guessed himself. Turning to Xin Zaozao he asked, “Do you prefer this type?”

Xin Zaozao felt her face burning up instantly.

There were many people queuing behind them.

The nearest was a couple, the girl seeing their interaction, couldn’t help but complain to her boyfriend, “See how thoughtful they are? He even asks what type she prefers. You always just buy whatever.”

“What do you mean ‘whatever’, I always buy the big one.”

“You’re so annoying,” the woman playfully fussed.

Listening to their conversation, Xin Zaozao felt even more embarrassed.

Mu Cidian was also feeling awkward at that moment. He subtly said, “I am too.”

“Huh?” Xin Zaozao was surprised.

Without further elaboration, Mu Cidian tried to explain about the condoms, “This type is thinner, this type is coloured, this type…”

Xin Zaozao’s face turned a deeper shade of red.

She said, “Anyway, you’re the one using it, choose it yourself.”

Without further questions, Mu Cidian took one box of each type.

They paid and left.

The couple behind them also picked a few items.

The girl whispered to her boyfriend, “Did you see his face and neck?”

“I did.”

“They must have a harmonious relationship.”

“…aren’t we harmonious?” the boy seemed somewhat upset.

The girl gave a bright smile.

The two of them playfully quarrelled.

This is probably how it should be between couples, right?

Mu Cidian, still hand-in-hand with Xin Zaozao, exited the supermarket.

He was carrying two big bags all by himself.

Xin Zaozao was still blushing even after they exited the supermarket.

In fact, Mu Cidian was hardly any better off.

She saw that the tips of his ears had turned red while holding her hand.

Xin Zaozao felt a strange sensation in her chest.

The next moment, she burst into a little laugh.

She thought to herself…am I thinking too much?
