Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

Under the moonlight, Chen Chen's eyelashes cast faint shadows on his cheeks, trembling slightly with his breath.

She stood up, carefully walked to the window, and drew the curtains, blocking the silvery moonlight outside, hoping to create a quieter sleeping environment for Chen Chen.

She turned around and quietly walked to the bedside, gently covering Chen Chen with the blanket that he had kicked off.

The moment he covered himself with the blanket, Chen Chen seemed to sense something and moved slightly. Lin Muxi's heart tightened, and she stopped what she was doing, looking at him nervously.

Fortunately, Chen Chen simply turned over and continued to sleep.

Lin Muxi breathed a sigh of relief, her lips unconsciously curving upwards, her eyes filled with doting affection.

Standing by the bed, Lin Muxi fell into deep thought.

Before meeting Chen Chen, her life was mundane and lonely, and every holiday was dull and tasteless.

But now, because of Chen Chen, everything has changed.

This man, with his enthusiasm and sincerity, gradually entered her life and warmed her originally cold heart.

She knew that Chen Chen's kindness towards her was not a fleeting whim, but a genuine commitment made day after day.

He always quietly paid attention to her preferences and met her needs, allowing her to rediscover the happiness of being loved and cared for.

Lin Muxi secretly vowed in her heart that in the days to come, she would care for and love him just as Chen Chen had cared for her.

She hoped to be a pillar of support in his life, a warm haven for him when he was tired, and to stand shoulder to shoulder with him when he encountered difficulties.

Thinking of this, Lin Muxi's eyes became even more determined.

She sat gently on the edge of the bed, lay down again beside Chen Chen, carefully found a comfortable position in his arms, and fell asleep peacefully.

The next morning, unlike the bright sunshine of Qingming Festival, the sky seemed to be shrouded in a huge gray curtain, gloomy and overcast.

The air seemed to be filled with a sense of oppression, reminiscent of the desolation and melancholy of the poem "The rain falls in torrents on Qingming Festival, and the travelers on the road are heartbroken."

In this somewhat somber atmosphere, Chen Chen slowly woke up.

While his consciousness was still somewhat hazy, he vaguely felt a furry head in his arms. The gentle touch was like a feather lightly brushing against his heart, and in an instant, his heart became incredibly tender.

He subconsciously lowered his head slightly, his eyes full of tenderness and doting as he slowly looked over.

Lin Muxi was sleeping soundly in his arms.

This elegant and aloof school beauty, like a flower on a high mountain, now nestled close to him like an adorable koala, completely unguarded.

A serene smile graced her face as she slept so soundly, as if the hustle and bustle of the world had nothing to do with her.

In her world, this warm embrace is the safest and most reassuring harbor, where she can let down her guard and immerse herself in sweet dreams.

Chen Chen watched her quietly, unwilling to move an inch, for fear of disturbing her sweet dream.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment; the room was so quiet that only the sound of each other's even breathing could be heard.

After a while, Lin Muxi seemed to sense Chen Chen's gaze, and gently moved in his arms, her brows furrowing slightly, as if she was about to wake up.

Chen Chen quickly patted her back gently, his movements soft and soothing, as if comforting a frightened little animal.

Lin Muxi let out a soft moan and slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were moist and hazy, filled with the confusion of just waking up.

Seeing Chen Chen looking at her tenderly, she was taken aback at first, then a shy blush rose on her face, and she said shyly:

"I...was I too restless last night? Did I disturb you?" There was no way around it; whenever she slept with him, Lin Muxi would unconsciously move closer.

Chen Chen smiled and shook his head, saying softly, "No, I feel very safe holding you like this."

Lin Muxi's lips curled up slightly, her eyes filled with happiness, and she snuggled closer to Chen Chen.

Just then, the sound of pattering rain suddenly came from outside the window.

Chen Chen looked out the window; raindrops were pattering against the glass, adding to the chill of the already gloomy weather.

He said softly, "It's raining, I guess we won't be able to go out today."

Lin Muxi followed his gaze and said, "That's perfect, let's stay at home, it's been a long time since we've had such a leisurely time."

The two remained embracing in bed, talking about trivial things, from childhood anecdotes to future dreams, their words filled with dependence and affection for each other.

Before he knew it, his stomach started rumbling. Chen Chen smiled and said:
"Looks like my stomach is protesting. Time to get up and have breakfast. I think I can smell eel soup."

Lin Muxi grabbed his arm and said coquettishly, "I don't want to get up. Lie down with me a little longer."

Chen Chen gently pinched her nose and said affectionately:

"I'll stay with you for another ten minutes. We'll go get breakfast in ten minutes, otherwise my little princess will get hungry."

Lin Muxi nodded contentedly, and the two embraced quietly for a while, enjoying this warm and peaceful moment.

It was as if the gloomy weather outside and all the troubles of the world had nothing to do with them; at this moment, they belonged only to each other.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Chen turned slightly to the side, raised his hand, and gently patted Lin Muxi's head. His voice, filled with the unique gentleness and tenderness of early morning, softly said:
"Alright, you lazybones, time to get up."

Lin Muxi pouted slightly, her eyes filled with longing and reluctance, but she still obediently got out of the warm bed.

After washing up and changing their clothes, the two walked downstairs side by side.

Liu Xiuying was busy in the kitchen when she looked up and saw them coming down. Her face immediately lit up with a warm smile, and she greeted them enthusiastically.

"You're up? Come and have breakfast."

As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly brought out the carefully prepared eel soup and steaming egg buns, placing them on the table.

Chen Chen and Lin Muxi exchanged a smile and quickly walked to the dining table to sit down.

Lin Muxi gazed at the fragrant food on the table and exclaimed in admiration:

"Auntie, this looks so appetizing, it smells so good."

Liu Xiuying's smile deepened, her eyes filled with loving kindness:

"Try it quickly. You worked so hard last night to catch this eel soup. I added chives and eggs to cook it earlier. It's fresh and nutritious."

Chen Chen picked up a soup spoon, first ladled a bowl of eel soup for Lin Muxi, and then handed it to her: "Here, drink more, it'll help you recover."

Lin Muxi took the bowl, thanked her softly, and took a sip of the soup. The fresh and tender flavor spread on her tongue, and she couldn't help but show a satisfied expression.
"It tastes so good, Auntie's cooking is amazing."

Liu Xiuying was delighted by the compliment and repeatedly said, "Eat more if you like it." (End of Chapter)
