Chapter 30 - Delicious Lemon Tea

Chapter 30 Delicious Lemon Tea

When the morning news was over, Lin Qing got breakfast ready.

Mu Li sat down at the dining table with his legs crossed in an imposing manner.

Normally, when he acted like this, something bad was going to happen.

“Lin Qing, come here.” Mu Li raised his eyes and looked at Lin Qing who was still lingering in the kitchen.

Did she think she could hide there for a long time?

Raising his eyebrows, Mu Li was about to speak again when his gaze was attracted by something on the dining table.

“What, what’s up?” At this time, Lin Qing’s voice came from the kitchen.

Mu Li did not answer. He only looked at the strange transparent sealed jar, in which clearly was lemon tea.

The jar was different from the one that her mother made yesterday. In terms of color alone, the jar now in front of Mu Li was darker.

The taste of this jar seemed more similar to what he liked.

The moment Lin Qing held the breakfast and turned around,

Mu Li crooked his finger at her.

Lin Qing had no choice but to go to him obediently.

She put down the breakfast and stood by his side tactfully.

“Did you make this?” Mu Li pointed at the lemon tea with interest.

“Yes.” Lin Qing admitted.

“Did you make it last night?” This would explain her actions.

As expected, Lin Qing said: “Yes.”

Mu Li asked one last question: “Why did you make this?”

Lin Qing replied honestly: “You like it, don’t you? Since you didn’t like jar yesterday, I could only make a new one.”

“I like this … how did you know?” Mu Li narrowed his eyes.

He remembered that he didn’t said anything yesterday.

“Eh?” Lin Qing was stunned. She didn’t seem to have thought about this question carefully.

Seeing Lin Qing’s reaction, Mu Li laughed.

She probably made a random guess, and happened to get it right.

Therefore, Mu Li stopped asking. He crooked his finger and let Lin Qing sit down for breakfast.

Lin Qing pushed a cup of freshly-made lemon tea to Mu Li’s hand before she sat down.

“Well …” She replied in a while, “Actually, when I was looking into the refrigerator yesterday, I saw the jar you were about to finish and I thought you liked this too.”

She used “too”, and Mu Li narrowed his eyes again.

“So, you didn’t follow my instruction and went out, just to buy a few lemons from the supermarket to make me this for me?” Mu Li summarized her actions from last night until now.

Immediately, he felt much better.

Lin Qing lowered her head and admitted.

It turned out that her stuttering and sneaky action was not because she had done something bad, but because she was a little embarrassed.

This made Lin Qing look even more charming.

Mu Li tasted it and praised her: “Very delicious.”

Lin Qing let out a sigh of relief. She raised her small face and was about to accept the praise when she suddenly saw an infinitely enlarged face.

Mu Li, who was sitting opposite, was leaning over half of the dining table–

And kissed her lips.

“Eh?” Lin Qing opened her eyes wide.

There was a faint smell of lemon on his lips.

But it was so strange. She hated lemons, but now she felt…

Lemon was actually a little sweet.

“Thank you for your breakfast. I like it very much.” Mu Li whispered beside her lips.

Lin Qing’s heart pumped.

When Mu Li sat back down, Lin Qing lowered her head and picked up the spoon. She felt dizzy and was about to eat soup when she heard —

“Since you like making lemon tea so much and I happen to like drinking it, do make it for me often. Remember, one cup every morning. Don’t stop.”

After finishing his sentence, he enjoyed another sip of lemon tea.

Lin Qing only felt that she was too good at finding herself troubles.

However, this troublesome situation did not seem to be repelling.

Lin Qing tilted her head on the sofa. Just as she was about to fall asleep, Mu Li pinched her white and tender little face.

She lay on her side on the sofa with her legs curled up and was very quiet.

“Why are you asleep again?” Mu Li said gently.

“Eh?” Lin Qing opened her eyes in a daze and casually pushed Mu Li, “I’m so sleepy…”

Mu Li laughed.

She slept too much.

Seeing that Lin Qing didn’t wake up, Mu Li placed the stack of things in his hand on the coffee table and half squatted to Lin Qing’s eye height. He called Lin Qing’s name twice, but Lin Qing still didn’t react.

Mu Li had never seen such a sleepy girl before. He pulled her ear, but did not exert any strength. In this way, Lin Qing’s sensitive nerves throbbed a few times and she opened her eyes immediately.

And because of reflex, Lin Qing’s head sprang forward when she woke up.

And her head bumped right into Mu Li’s face.

Bang–

“Ouch” Lin Qing rubbed the corner of her forehead because of pain. Having a closer look, she noticed herself bumping into Mu Li’s face rather than the coffee table.

“Eh?” Lin Qing was stunned, “It’s you?”

Mu Li’s forehead was red. It was obvious who did this to him

Lin Qing was a little embarrassed.

“I didn’t mean it. My head just bumped…” She explained, but felt that her explanation was a bit far-fetched.

Mu Li flicked her little head and said: “You did give me a lot of pleasant surprises.”

“Ah?” Lin Qing didn’t get it.

“Alright, no more talk about this. I was going to show you something.” Mu Li went to the point and sat down beside Lin Qing.

Lin Qing followed his gesture and saw there seemed two documents on the coffee table. It was a heavy stack of paper.

“What are these?” It was rare for Lin Qing to be curious.

Mu Li intended to make some explanation, but considering Lin Qing’s unusual mindset…

“You don’t need to read them. Just sign them.” He added, “And just do what you were told to after you sign them.”

Lin Qing was puzzled and didn’t know if she really understood him. She took the pen and left her beautiful signature on the last pages of the two documents.

Mu Li took a look and thought Lin Qing’s handwriting was very beautiful. Then, he left one of them in Lin Qing’s hand and said: “This is yours. Keep it and take a look.”

For some reason, Lin Qing felt that there was a strange smile on Mu Li’s face when she signed the document. The smile seemed to indicate that his trick worked.

Twenty minutes later, Lin Qing felt that the saying “curiosity killed the cat” was not entirely correct.

Because if she had been more curious, she wouldn’t have signed her name so easily.

“Three Chapters of Rules” was the headline on the first page of this document.

Lin Qing spent nearly half an hour reading through it, and she felt that there was far more than three chapters. It should be called thirty or three hundred chapters.

“Mu Li, do I have to follow whatever is included?” Lin Qing didn’t dare to read it for the second time and asked Mu Li with an innocent expression.

Mu Li leaned against the sofa and nodded.

“What if, I mean what if I, without caution…” violate it?

Mu Li knew what she meant and pinched her cheeks, “Read the last page.”

Lin Qing turned the pages over and read the first line, “If Party B violates the rules, she will be punished by kissing Party A twenty times a day.”

Party A was Mu Li, and Party B was Lin Qing.

Lin Qing almost fainted when she found trapping herself by so carelessly signing the papers.

Mu Li was very pleased at Lin Qing’s reaction.

‘”What if you violate the rules?” Lin Qing closed the “Three Chapters of Rules”.

Mu Li smiled, “Didn’t you read it through just now? Party A is not bound by any rules and will not bear any consequences.”

Lin Qing blew a fuse.

Actually, Mu Li did this to make sure Lin Qing’s safety when she was alone at home.

But Lin Qing was unable to figure out his intention between the lines.

After a while, Lin Qing was finally able to recover from this heavy blow.

But when she turned her head and bang–

She bumped into Mu Li’s head again.

Lin Qing covered her head and wished there was a hole on the ground to hide herself.

If he hadn’t known Lin Qing’s temperament, Mu Li would think that she was retaliating.

“Lin Qing, how many times do you plan to hit me today?”

Mu Li said leisurely.

Lin Qing was even more embarrassed. “I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean to. It’s all because I didn’t see you” Lin Qing explained in a flustered way.

Mu Li was silent.

He seemed to be ignored by this little girl again.

Why did he feel that he was about to get familiar with this feeling of being ignored?

Lin Qing rubbed her head. It was a harder hit, and her head was ringing.

However, Mu Li only placed the precious pen between his fingers and hastily signed the last pages of the documents.

The way he wrote was… mesmerizing.

After Mu Li signed the contract and put it away, Lin Qing suddenly said: “Mu Li, did anyone tell you that you look especially handsome when you are writing?”

This wasn’t the first time Lin Qing praised him, but he felt it different every time.

It was probably because the way she talked was too real and undisguised, and this kind of candidness was too rare.

“Yes.” Mu Li shifted his gaze to Lin Qing and sized her up carefully.

“Who was it?” Lin Qing also looked at him.

“You.” Mu Li scrapped Lin Qing’s little nose and stared at her.

After being watched for a long time, Lin Qing couldn’t help but say: “Don’t look at me like that. I’m a little nervous.”

“What are you nervous about?” Mu Li smiled lightly.

“No, nothing. I’m just …” Lin Qing couldn’t articulate this feeling, “a little nervous.”

Mu Li stared even closer at her, but Lin Qing pointed at his forehead and said: “You’d better rub your forehead. It’s still red.”

As she was close to him, she could see the redness on Mu Li’s forehead, and she felt very guilty.

Mu Li didn’t care about it, but seeing Lin Qing being so anxious, he immediately became interested.

“I couldn’t see it myself. How can I rub the right place?” Mu Li asked.

Lin Qing muttered, ” Then don’t let me see it… I want to rub it for you the moment I see it.”

Without any hesitation, Mu Li put his face closer to Lin Qing and said, “Here, rub it for me.”

Lin Qing suddenly flushed.

She turned around and paused for a while before she turned around again and put her hand on Mu Li’s forehead.

Her soft fingers rubbed the area where she had bumped in circle.

But after a while, that area became even redder.

At this time, Lin Qing forgot her nervousness and went closer to Mu Li’s forehead to check, “Why is it redder?”

Of course, the more she rubbed it, the redder it would be.

Mu Li curled his lips up and pushed her down on the sofa as she approached him.

“When will you stop being so silly?” Mu Li raised her chin, flirting.

Lin Qing was stunned. “You are the one who got bumped. The silly person … shouldn’t that be you?”
