Xia Mi glared at him fiercely, hands on her hips: "It's just visiting a friend's house for dinner, why are you thinking so much about it!"
Chu Zihang was speechless and could only turn back to look at his earthquake data while listening intently to Xia Mu's movements.
"Then... let's go."
Xia Mu's reply was so simple that it left him speechless.
"You'll be back tonight, right?" Chu Zihang asked casually as Xia Mi took Xia Mu's arm and left the house.
"Ah."
As soon as Xia Mu finished speaking, Xia Mi turned her head and grinned, "That's not necessarily true. What if my parents like him so much that they let him stay for a few days?"
Chu Zihang: "..."
"Do you own your own house?"
Xia Mu asked knowingly.
As winter approaches, the alleyways are covered with bright yellow fallen leaves, which make a cheerful crunching sound when the two people step on them.
"Of course, Xia Mi's identity is a complete disguise, from household registration to property to fictitious parent-relative relationships."
Xia Mi took his hand and hopped and skipped on the fallen leaves, crushing some of the larger maple leaves underfoot and giggling at the rustling sound.
"Natsuki!"
She suddenly let go of my hand, ran forward, tiptoed around in the fallen leaves, bent over, and smiled brightly: "Do I look like your girlfriend now?"
A maple leaf drifted down, landing on her hair, passing her shoulder, and slowly falling.
Xia Mu was stunned for a moment.
Does she resemble your girlfriend?
For some reason, his heart skipped a beat.
She was radiant in the sunlight, and her eyes reflected your image...
Why doesn't it look like it?
Chapter 237 The First Time He Hugged Me On His Own
"picture."
Xia Mu lowered his eyes in the sunlight, as if the word hadn't been uttered by him.
"Then squat down."
Xia Mi jumped behind him and reached out to press on his shoulder.
Xia Mu subconsciously squatted down following her movement, and the girl's full body pressed down on him, her arms wrapped around his neck.
"Carry me on your back."
She rested her head on his right shoulder, her voice lively and cheerful.
"it is good."
Xia Mu lifted her legs, which were covered by stockings under her plaid skirt, with both hands and stood up steadily.
The alleyway under the sunlight was filled with a warm feeling. He carried her slowly through it, stepping on maple leaves and bathing in the breeze. Playful fallen leaves would always fly to their heads and then drift down.
"This way... go around the alley... this building... go upstairs..."
Under Xia Mi's direction, Xia Mu carried her up the stairs.
Building No. 31 is an old building with red brick walls, cement balconies, and green-painted wooden windows; its age is hard to say.
The hallway was poorly lit, with only a few dim incandescent bulbs illuminating it. The blue-painted doorplate for "Unit 15, Room 201" was nailed to the green wooden door.
As he opened the door with the key Xia Mi handed him, the door next door suddenly opened, and the old lady next door popped out.
"Xiao Mi is back? Oh? Is it her boyfriend?" The old lady's smile was somewhat ambiguous.
Xia Mi jumped off Xia Mu's back, lowered her head, and nodded shyly, "Mmm..."
Xia Mu glanced at her shy appearance, greeted the old lady gently, and then opened the door.
Goodbye, Grandma!
Xia Mi waved her hand, jumped into the house, and closed the door.
"These young girls nowadays..."
The old lady looked at the tightly closed door, shook her head, and sighed.
Is this your home?
Xia Mu looked around.
Of course, there were no parents, nor a brother with dementia.
The room was empty except for a bed in the center of the room, an old-fashioned five-drawer chest in the corner, and a gas stove and an old-fashioned double-door refrigerator in the other corner.

"Yes, it can't compare to your mansion, but don't complain."
Xia Mi wrinkled her nose and stuck out her tongue at him, "I'll cook for you."
She skipped over and opened the refrigerator door, which was filled with fresh vegetables, fruits, and milk, clearly things she had just bought that day. After filling it up, she went to find him.
Are you happy?
Xia Mu walked up behind her and watched her busily and cheerfully working.
"You're the first guest to visit in over a decade, of course I'm happy!"
Xia Mi's dish was simple: she blanched and peeled the tomatoes, cracked a few eggs and stirred them well, muttering to herself, "With tomatoes, the eggs don't feel lonely anymore..."
Xia Mu walked around the room, but didn't rashly open the chest of drawers, so there wasn't much else to see.
A minute later, he walked back behind Xia Mi and watched her cook while wearing an apron.
The warm sunlight made her profile glow, like an angel descended to earth, bowing her head in the sunlight.
Xia Mu unconsciously reached out and gently placed his hand on her waist.
Xia Mi paused, leaning back slightly.
Xia Mu's hand slid forward, and he hugged her from behind.
"This is the first time you've hugged me on your own initiative," Xia Mi whispered.
Xia Mu didn't say anything. He released one of her right hands, grabbed her still hand, and used the wooden spatula to continue stirring the eggs, preventing them from burning.
Xia Mi remained silent and worked with him to make the simplest dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
I wish we could keep cooking like this forever…
Xia Mi thought to herself.
“When I lived alone, I liked to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes. They were sweet and sour, and I would mix them with rice.”
There wasn't even a table in the room. Xia Mu sat side by side with her on the edge of the bed, eating scrambled eggs with tomatoes mixed with rice.
"Should we buy more furniture?" Xia Mu asked.
Xia Mi shook her head: "There's no need..."
She paused in her chopsticks, then looked up and smiled, "Can I come over and freeload at your place?"
Xia Mu, contrary to his usual behavior, glanced at her and nodded: "Okay, you must come."
Xia Mi was taken aback by his words, paused for a moment, raised her hand to smooth her hair, and continued eating.
Why not agree?
Xia Mu put down the bowl and looked at her, "Even if you evolve into Hela, you will still be you."
"Ah."
Xia Mi nodded, reached out and quickly took the bowl from his hand, then ran over to wash the dishes and pots.
Xia Mu followed her over, hesitated for a moment, and then once again took the initiative to hug her from behind.
Xia Mi froze as she washed the dishes.
"You're trying to seduce me!"
She nudged him with the back of her head.
Tell me, what exactly are your plans?
Xia Mu even bit her earlobe.
I'll do anything, even if it means ruining my looks, to figure out what she's thinking!
"Don't ask, just stay with me for three days."
Xia Mi closed her eyes and remained motionless.
Xia Mu released her, walked straight to the bed, and lay down.
After Xia Mi finished tidying up, she ran to his side, poked his cheek with her finger, and asked with a grin, "Are you angry?"
"Don't touch me."
Xia Mu slapped her hand away and turned her head away.
Xia Mi moved to the other side, lay on the bed, rested her chin on her arm and looked at him: "Don't be angry, it's rare for us to live together, aren't you going to do something?"
"What cohabitation... Don't talk nonsense."
Xia Mu turned his head to the other side.
Xia Mi nimbly leaped over, now facing him directly, her eyes darting around: "How about we play a game?"
"What do you want to play?" Xia Mu asked casually.
Xia Mi jumped off the bed and took a box out of the five-box cabinet. Inside were cards and building blocks.
She took out a bunch of long, thin building blocks and stacked them on the box.
"Draw blocks, whoever finishes and the block falls down loses."
