Chapter 135: The Night of the Wedding, the Crazy Reborn Villain (19)

After finishing the phone call, Lin Xu turned around to see Song Chuyi laughing so hard he couldn't stop, clutching his stomach.

Ignoring him, Lin Xu said sternly, "The AC installers will be here soon. Is there anything else you need?"

At the mention of business, Song Chuyi immediately sat up straight.

He rubbed his aching stomach and cleared his throat.

"Nothing for now."

Song Chuyi crossed his legs. "I’ll let Grandfather know if I need anything."

Lin Xu: ...

"Tell me," he emphasized in a stronger tone, "Tell me if you need anything."

"No need to trouble our grandfather," Song Chuyi replied.

Realizing Lin Xu had a point, Song Chuyi agreed, which finally satisfied Lin Xu.

Unbeknownst to them, the rain outside had stopped, and soon enough, people arrived to install the air conditioning.

They installed AC units in both the bedroom and the living room.

They even installed a water heater in the kitchen, so there would be hot water during the winter.

With the rain having stopped, Song Chuyi was eager to check on his bubble tea shop.

But when Lin Xu heard Song Chuyi was planning to go down the mountain, he quickly intervened.

"You're still sick, so no going out."

His voice was stern, carrying the authority of someone in a higher position.

When he spoke in a commanding tone, no one dared to defy him.

Song Chuyi could only agree and opened his phone to ask about the situation at the bubble tea shop in the WeChat group.

Several underlings rushed to respond.

"We've already opened, and there are so many people!"

"Yes, yes, everyone is saying we're very affordable, and there's a long line!"

"Boss, when are you coming over?"

…………

Song Chuyi replied, indicating that he wasn't coming over for now and told them to keep up the good work.

The underlings quickly responded and then got busy again.

Beside him, Lin Xu had already seen his actions, his eyes turning slightly cold.

"Who are you messaging?"

"My few underlings," Song Chuyi put away his phone. "They went to the boba shop to make bubble tea today."

Lin Xu's eyes flickered slightly. Those thugs...

In his previous life, they hadn't done anything to him; they had just watched coldly.

Those thugs tagged along with Song Chuyi, sucking up to him in hopes of getting something out of it.

They were just stupid and pitiful, not even worth mentioning.

Lin Xu gave a nonchalant response.

Song Chuyi leaned in and poked Lin Xu's leg.

"Lin Xu, are you jealous?"

"No." Lin Xu was already used to Song Chuyi poking his leg from time to time.

"They're not even worth it."

Just a bunch of thugs—hardly worth Song Chuyi's time.

Song Chuyi nodded thoughtfully.

"They're just underlings."

He explained a bit.

"But you are my husband~"

Lin Xu frowned when he heard this.

Where did he pick up all that sweet talk?

"Besides those thugs, do you have any other friends?"

Song Chuyi shook his head. "No."

Lin Xu was relieved. "Then watch less TV dramas."

Song Chuyi: ...

He withdrew his hand and ignored Lin Xu.

Was Lin Xu really trying to take away his TV time?

No way! Not happening!

Song Chuyi didn’t waste a second, turning on the TV and diving right back into his show.

Lin Xu was still reviewing documents and didn't notice what Song Chuyi was watching.

When he finished reading part of the document and looked up, the TV showed a suited CEO cornering his assistant against the wall.

"On purpose?" the CEO growled, oozing confidence. "Nice job, you’ve got my full attention."

Lin Xu grimaced, grabbed the remote, and shut off the TV.

Song Chuyi abruptly turned his head to look at him. "What are you doing?"

Lin Xu remained expressionless. "Don't watch these kinds of shows, they'll lead you astray."

Song Chuyi hummed softly and quickly walked up to Lin Xu.

He placed one hand on the armrest of the wheelchair, bent down, and deliberately lowered his voice, mimicking the boss from earlier.

"On purpose?"

Lin Xu: ...

Still proud of himself, Song Chuyi continued, "Nice, you've really got my attention now."

Lin Xu raised his hand and covered Song Chuyi's mouth.

Song Chuyi blinked, then kissed Lin Xu's palm.

Lin Xu froze, his ears tinged with a faint red.

"D-don't imitate randomly," he said with a trembling voice, "My hand is dirty, don't just kiss it randomly."

Song Chuyi wiggled his fingers. "So, is it 'don't imitate randomly' or 'don't go kissing everything'?"

"You can only pick one, you know."

Lin Xu was momentarily confused by Song Chuyi's either-or statement.

Without much thought, he gave his answer.

"Don't imitate randomly."

Song Chuyi's eyes lit up, and he promptly gave Lin Xu's fingertip a loud smack of a kiss.

"Then it's okay to kiss randomly, oh."

Lin Xu's fingertips trembled slightly; he wanted to pull his hand back, but his fingertips felt too hot, as if they had a mind of their own.

His lips pressed tightly together, he didn't say anything, silently agreeing with what was said.

Seeing this, Song Chuyi sat down beside him.

He wrapped one arm around Lin Xu's neck and leaned in.

He kissed Lin Xu's cheek.

"I like kissing," he whispered into Lin Xu's ear.

The warm breath sprayed on his ear, making it redden like fresh blood.

Lin Xu felt his ears burning, his face too.

The warmth spread through his body, even reaching his usually numb calves, surprising him.

Wait, calves?

Lin Xu froze, trying to focus on the sensation, but it was gone—just a fleeting moment.

It was probably just his imagination. The thought flashed by, and he looked at Song Chuyi, a look of resignation flashing in his eyes.

Lin Xu leaned in slightly, his lips gently touching Song Chuyi's cheek.

"Like this?"

Song Chuyi was stunned by Lin Xu's sudden move.

This person... actually took the initiative to kiss him!

Even if it was just the cheek, it was still progress!

This meant that Lin Xu was beginning to accept him!

He nodded eagerly, "Yes, yes, that's right."

"A kiss on the lips would be even better."

Lin Xu: ...

"Don't push your luck," he said hoarsely and deeply, "Let's take it slow."

Song Chuyi translated his words in his mind.

Kissing should be taken one step at a time, like savoring a fine meal. You need to taste it bit by bit to get the maximum satisfaction.

Turns out, Lin Xu knows how to appreciate the good stuff!

Song Chuyi lightly licked his lips, leaving them glistening with a soft pink sheen.

"Okay."

Lin Xu stared at the glistening lips, the depths of his eyes dark.

After a couple of seconds, he lowered his head and went back to the documents in his hands.

But he didn’t turn a single page.

Beside him, Song Chuyi was muttering under his breath, though Lin Xu couldn’t make out what he was saying.

Lin Xu couldn’t help but think that little mouth never shuts up. Where does he get all these words?

The only way to get that little mouth to shut up was...

The image of those pink lips flashed in his mind, and with a resigned sigh, Lin Xu looked up at Song Chuyi.

"A'Chu, come here."
