Chapter 28: Blushing Again

Even if you have any questions, you can ask me. I will answer them.

I can ask you anything I want to ask and you have to answer too.

It’s like this!” Liuli said with a smile.

However, her eyes were filled with cunningness.

“You want to know my secrets?” Tang Moxi asked as he poured tea for Liuli.

“How secretive is Brother Moxi?” Liuli immediately asked.

“If my bank account’s password counts as a secret, I have quite a few secrets!” Tang Moxi replied with a smile.

“That’s fine. I’m not interested in your bank account’s password!” Liuli said with a smile.

“Alright, what do you want to know?” Tang Moxi asked with a smile.

This little girl was very smart. She just lacked some maturity and experience.

“Brother Moxi, what sports do you like?” Liuli asked.

She originally wanted to ask how many girlfriends Uncle Tang had before this, but if she asked this question from the beginning,

it would seem too rude and intrusive, so Liuli changed her question.

After understanding some of his interests, she would have more common topics to talk to him about in the future.

No matter what, they had to maintain their marital relationship for a period of time, right?

“Any sports that involves balls. If I really can’t find time, I’ll just jog in the lounge,” Tang Moxi replied.

“How do you jog in the lounge?” Liuli asked in surprise.

“Using the treadmill!” Tang Moxi said with a smile.

Liuli’s mouth dropped agape in realization. She had not thought of the treadmill.

Liuli smiled and shook her head before continuing.

“Now, it’s your turn to ask. We each get one question. This way, things are fairer.”

“Is the boy you like in the same school as you now?” Tang Moxi asked Liuli.

The smile on Liuli’s face froze.

After a while, she asked in shock,

“How did you know?”

“You told me,” Tang Moxi replied.

“How is that possible? When did I tell you?” Liuli looked unconvinced.

“When we had supper last night, you said that this was your secret!” Tang Moxi replied.

Liuli wanted to bang her head on the tea table. What did she blabber out last night?

Why did she even mention this?!

“Uncle, I didn’t even ask how many girlfriends you had in the past. Why did you ask this first?” Liuli pursed her lips and said unhappily.

“Two!” Tang Moxi replied.

“What?” Liuli looked up at Tang Moxi in shock.

“Didn’t you want to know how many girlfriends I had in the past?

“I had two, but I’ve already broken up with them,” Tang Moxi replied.

“Oh!” Liuli replied. Facing Tang Moxi’s honesty, Liuli felt a little embarrassed.

After a while, she replied shyly,

“Mine isn’t exactly a secret. I just secretly have a crush on a senior.

Then, for his sake, I tried to get into that university, but after I got in, I found out that the senior had already gone to study abroad.

It was unrequited love!

He doesn’t even know about this. Besides, he might have a girlfriend now!”

After saying that, Liuli laughed awkwardly.

“Do you plan to let him know about this?” Tang Moxi asked.

Of course not. You can’t let the other party know about your crush!” Liuli immediately curled her lips and said.

“I thought we should let the other party know that we like them,” Tang Moxi replied with a smile.

“How embarrassing would it be if I get rejected?!” Liuli immediately shook her head.

“At least you have a 50% chance of success, right?”

“Not 50%, probably not even 5%. Perhaps he doesn’t even know that I exist!”

“Then why do you like him?”

“Because he’s very outstanding!”

“You like outstanding people?”

“Who doesn’t like outstanding people? Actually, it’s because he helped me before,” Liuli confessed.

“Helped you with what?”

“That’s a secret. Uncle, you’ve asked me so many questions that I forgot to ask you questions,” Liuli said immediately when she came back to her senses.

She couldn’t tell Uncle Tang that it was because she got her first period in the school’s rehearsal hall.

At that time, she was rehearsing a dance and preparing for the New Year’s Day performance.

When she realized that her pants were red, she thought that she was bleeding to death and sat on the floor. She didn’t dare to get up.

At that time, Mu Jun, who was supporting the New Year’s performance, happened to pass by the rehearsal hall and saw that she was the only one in the rehearsal hall.

“It’s getting late. Aren’t you going back?”

Then, she burst into tears.

Later on, she realized that she wasn’t dying, but was on her period.

After that, every time she saw Mu Jun from afar, she would avoid him.

That year, Liuli was in her second year of junior high school and Mu Jun was in his second year of high school.

“Ask whatever you want to know,” Tang Moxi said calmly.

“Why did you break up with your previous two girlfriends?” Liuli asked gossipily.

“Our personalities didn’t match,” Tang Moxi replied aloofly.

Liuli’s jaw dropped agape. Wasn’t this equivalent to not saying anything?

“Is there anything else you want to know?” Tang Moxi asked again.

“Actually, I want to know how much pocket money you’ll give me after we get married.” Liuli laughed.

“It’s up to you to decide!” Tang Moxi replied with a smile.

“Really?” Liuli asked excitedly.

“Yes! Just don’t exceed my salary.”

“Definitely not! But can I know how much your salary is first?”

“I can give you my salary card after our marriage!”

Liuli’s eyes immediately lit up. What a wonderful thing!

At dawn, Liuli finally got tired of chatting and fell asleep in a daze.

Moreover, she slept in Tang Moxi’s arms.

As the two of them lay on the long sofa, Liuli nestled in Tang Moxi’s arms and curled up in fetal position.

Tang Moxi lay on his side with one arm wrapped around Liuli’s waist.

The two of them were covered in a thin blanket as they slept soundly.

Liuli woke up first.

She had a strange dream…

After she lost her footing and fell into a bottomless abyss, she was startled awake.

The room was very spacious and bright.

For a moment, Liuli thought that she had arrived in heaven.

Because the sunlight shone in, the room was enveloped in a glow, making everything seem dreamy.

When she came back to her senses, she realized that she was lying on the sofa with an arm around her waist.

Liuli’s body stiffened as she recalled what had happened last night…

She chatted with Uncle Tang until it was almost dawn.

Then, she became very sleepy, but she refused to rest.

Then, she seemed to say something like…

Oh right, she said to Tang Moxi,

“Mommy, hug me. I can’t sleep.”

Then, she crawled into Tang Moxi’s arms and fell asleep not long after.

Liuli couldn’t help but moan.

Why was she acting like a child that hadn’t been weaned yet?

She didn’t dare to get up directly, for fear of waking Uncle Tang up.

It was too embarrassing!

After Liuli turned around, she saw Uncle Tang resting his head on the armrest of the sofa. He was frowning slightly and it was obvious that he wasn’t comfortable.

Liuli immediately felt a little guilty.

If not for her, Uncle Tang wouldn’t have slept on the sofa.

From how scrunched up his long arms and legs were, he seemed very pitiful!

If she hadn’t suddenly come back to her senses, she might have kissed him.

It wasn’t until she felt that something was amiss that Liuli’s gaze slowly moved up and froze in the next second.

Uncle Tang was staring at her quietly.

The way he looked at her silently made her heart skip a beat.

She had forgotten what she was going to do.

“You’re awake?” Tang Moxi asked gently.

“Huh…” After Liuli came back to her senses, her first reaction wasn’t to answer yes, but to push Uncle Tang away.

But it backfired…

Under the inertia, she pushed herself off the sofa.

At this moment, she fell onto the carpet beside the sofa.

Tang Moxi quickly got up to pull her back and asked,

“Did you hurt yourself?”

Liuli felt so embarrassed that she covered her face.

“Did you accidentally scratch your face?” Tang Moxi asked with concern as he reached out to pull Liuli’s hand away.

“No!” Liuli quickly shook her head in embarrassment!

“It’s good that you didn’t accidentally scratch yourself. Why are you so timid? Even talking to you scares you!” Tang Moxi rubbed her head and asked with a smile.

“I’m not timid. The bed is too small!” Liuli retorted.

The next second, she looked down at the sofa and realized something.

She and Uncle Tang were not lying on the bed, but on the sofa.

“Do you want to go to the bedroom and lie down for a while longer?

I’ll make breakfast and call you when I’m done!” Tang Moxi asked.

“Aren’t you going to sleep? No, I mean, you’re going to make breakfast yourself?” Liuli quickly explained.

She was afraid that Uncle Tang would misunderstand and think that she was inviting him into the room to sleep with her!

This was a huge misunderstanding!

“Otherwise, do you want to go out and eat instead?” Tang Moxi raised his eyebrows and asked.

“I can eat at home!”

“It’s best if you eat your fill before going back. Otherwise, it’ll make me seem like a negligent boyfriend!” Tang Moxi replied with a smile before getting up and walking towards the bedroom.

Liuli blushed again.

She had not thought of this at all!

After Tang Moxi washed up, he went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Liuli hugged a pillow and curled up on the sofa. She felt conflicted about whether to continue sleeping or brush her teeth and wash her face.

Truthfully, what she was the most conflicted about was why she had slept here last night!

At this moment, there was really no way for her to explain herself.

She had no choice but to marry him.

“Liuli, there’s a new toothbrush and towel in the bathroom cabinet. Help yourself!”

“Oh, okay!” Liuli replied before getting up and walking towards Uncle Tang’s bedroom.

Halfway there, she suddenly cried out in surprise.
