Chapter 1333

“No.” Baili Xia didn’t care at all and said with a playful smile, “A win is a win.

It doesn’t matter if you use one hand, two hands, or even two fingers.

A loss is still a loss.”

“Brother, tonight, can you compete with me using only two fingers?”

“…”

This little troublemaker, she’s getting way too bold!

“Winning like this against me wouldn’t even feel honorable.”

“No.” Baili Xia didn’t care at all and said with a playful smile, “A win is a win. It doesn’t matter if you use one hand, two hands, or even two fingers. A loss is still a loss.”

Playing games, how could Baili Xia ever be a match for Mu Xiaoyao?

But tonight, she actually won.

It was an incredibly hard-fought victory, but somehow, she managed to narrowly succeed at the brink of exhaustion.

When she saw that she had beaten her Brother, she let out a sigh of relief.

“You’re too scary. Next time, you’ll have to use just one finger.”

Throwing aside the controller, she closed her eyes and clumsily scrambled to grab a blanket.

Mu Xiaoyao got off the bed, tidied up the mess, and pulled the blanket over her, covering her up.

He had originally intended to leave just like that, but when he saw her flushed little face, his feet seemed unwilling to move.

Once again, that scene flashed through his mind…

When she had walked out of the rock garden in the Mu family’s backyard, she had stumbled directly into his arms.

Uncle had clearly been watching from behind, yet still, this girl—right in front of Uncle—

A fleeting peck, so light he hadn’t even fully registered the taste of her soft lips, and she already pulled away from him.

He knew full well that she did it just to provoke Uncle, knew that he was nothing more than an unwanted complication in their argument.

But even so… that had been his first kiss.

Had he ever told her—he was actually a very traditional man?

In this lifetime, just this once.

And the person… had to be Uncle’s woman…

He knew full well he shouldn’t be thinking about it, but now, whenever he looked at her lips, whenever he sat quietly with her, he couldn’t help but remember.

It was as if he were ensnared in some kind of inexplicable spell.

Staring at the faintly glistening curve of her lips under the soft light, without even realizing it himself, he found he was slowly leaning closer to her.

Those delicate lips came more and more into focus.

The girl’s breathing became increasingly even; she had completely descended into her dreams.

Mu Xiaoyao’s breathing, however, grew heavier and more erratic.

Before he could even process it, his hands were already cradling her face.

Was he capable of accepting a kiss from any woman, or was it that he could only accept her?

His heartbeat thundered like a drum, louder and faster with every passing second.

Her lips drew closer and closer.

The warm breath from the girl’s nose brushed against him, as if he could inhale it all.

Her delicate scent, her sweetness, was just inches away.

Just a little closer, just a little nearer…

“Don’t go, Uncle, don’t go…”

Suddenly, the girl murmured dreamily in her sleep, waving her hands about aimlessly.

Somehow, her hand happened to land on Mu Xiaoyao’s, which was holding her face, and then tightly gripped it.

“Don’t leave, don’t… don’t abandon me…”

Her long lashes quivered, making her look more fragile and pitiable than ever.

Mu Xiaoyao had no idea what she was dreaming about.

He only knew that the moment she spoke, his spell was completely shattered.

When he snapped back to reality, he realized, to his shock, that his lips were less than half an inch from hers.

He had almost… kissed Uncle’s woman!

Kissed this girl who had always been utterly unguarded around him!
