Chapter 144 We're in a Relationship Now

Bai Mu strode over, his gaze meeting Xiao Hua's surprised eyes. He looked calm, "Didn't you tell me not to wear anything so you could see? How does it look?"

He had just been reminiscing in the bathroom about how flustered he had been after being teased, feeling like he had wasted years of his life. So now, he came out bare-chested, determined to turn the tables.

However, Xiao Hua had always been bold. Her eyes were serious as she scanned Bai Mu's body from head to toe.

Honestly, she really wanted Bai Mu's body.

Bai Mu couldn't withstand her gaze any longer. His ears turned red again, the blush quickly spreading across his face.

"So compliant?"

Xiao Hua's final gaze settled on Bai Mu's face, which was trying hard to appear calm. She curled her lips into a teasing smile, "But I said not to wear anything after showering, so you still don't meet my request."

Bai Mu couldn't handle it anymore. He grabbed a T-shirt, pulled it on, and quickly covered his exposed skin.

"Xiao Hua," he squatted down, his eyes filled with pleading.

Xiao Hua felt a pang in her heart. She pointed to the spot beside her, "Come sit here."

Bai Mu obediently sat down, facing Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua suddenly stood up, pushed the man in front of her down, and leaned in to kiss him.

As their lips touched, the first thing Xiao Hua felt was softness.

Bai Mu's lips were very soft, perfect for kissing.

After just two or three seconds, Xiao Hua pulled away from Bai Mu, laughing at the dazed look on his face.

"Marking my territory. From now on, you belong to me."

Xiao Hua actually felt a little shy too, but since Bai Mu was so easy to push over, it was more suitable for her to take the lead.

Bai Mu was hit by a wave of immense joy. He lay on the sofa for a while before snapping out of it.

He suddenly sat up and moved closer to Xiao Hua. Their noses nearly touched, and they could see each other's long, curled lashes clearly.

Bai Mu moved his lips, and after a long while, he finally spoke, "Xiao Hua... are we a couple now?"

Xiao Hua hesitated for a moment, then held Bai Mu's neck and quickly kissed him again, answering his question with action.

Bai Mu's face broke into a bright, unrestrained smile. His eyes curved into crescents, and his teeth showed as his lips curled up.

He gazed at Xiao Hua, unable to get enough, never tiring of her.

Thinking of something, Bai Mu pursed his lips and looked at Xiao Hua, suppressing his inner shyness as he spoke, "Can we kiss again? I didn't quite get it last time."

Xiao Hua leaned in, ready to answer, when there was a knock on the door and Xiao Zui's voice came from outside.

"Old Bai, it's time to eat. I'm heading down first. You can call Xiao Hua along."

Xiao Hua straightened up, moved away, and stood to leave.

Bai Mu: "..."

Bai Mu had never felt more like killing Xiao Zui than at that moment. He clenched his teeth, his voice thick, "Alright."

"Hurry up," Xiao Zui added, he turned away before Bai Mu could respond.

With the mood interrupted, Xiao Hua calmed down completely, feeling too embarrassed to initiate another kiss. She cleared her throat lightly, "Let's go."

Bai Mu looked at her with a look of longing.

"There's all the time in the world," Xiao Hua patted his head, smiling as she comforted him.

She then lowered her hand, but halfway, Bai Mu grabbed it tightly.

"Let's head downstairs together."

Xiao Hua thought for a moment, then happily accepted.

Having just started dating a boyfriend, she also wanted to show off a bit.

To stop Su Mo from always teaming up with Luo Ning to mock her for being single.

Hand in hand, they walked downstairs side by side, entering the living room on the first floor, where they were met with the stares of seven pairs of eyes—

Half a month ago, Kong Yu and Luo Ning had joined the special ops team. Given that they were preparing to embark on a mission the next day, they naturally came over as well.

Xiao Hua's face was calm, not a hint of embarrassment. Without waiting for others to ask, she blurted out in front of everyone, "We're in a relationship now."

Bai Mu glanced sideways at Xiao Hua, then lowered his head, smiling slightly, his voice filled with barely hidden happiness, "Yes. We're in a relationship now."

There was a moment of silence before it became lively again.

"Congratulations to Brother Bai for getting his wish!" Zhao Ye clapped and cheered vigorously, pulling Han Xiu Jie and Tang Yi on either side to join the cheering squad.

The two were forced to clap, their expressions unenthusiastic.

"It really is a wish come true," Xiao Zui, being about the same age as Bai Mu, teased directly, "Just look at Old Bai acting like a doting husband."

He couldn't even keep his smile down.

Xiao Hua turned to look at Bai Mu, nodding in satisfaction. Her doting boyfriend was really good-looking.
