Chapter 107 My Girl
Mu Xiaoyu is struggling with apples. She came from a poor family and didn't eat much fruit. Even when she did, she ate the whole fruit, peel and all. After marrying Li Chenxu, it was naturally impossible for her to peel fruit.
Therefore, Mu Xiaoyu's handiwork is far inferior to that of Li Chenxu, a grown man. The apple, which was originally bigger than her hand, has lost less than a third of its flesh after she peeled it like this. The key is that the peel is not even finished. If she finishes peeling it, then it will probably be just like Li Chenxu said, with not much flesh left.
Mu Xiaoyu considered herself to be quite capable in many areas, but she never expected that she would do something as simple as peeling an apple so poorly. For a moment, Mu Xiaoyu felt ashamed, angry, and resentful.
She glared at Li Chenxu angrily and retorted, "You don't understand. I used the best part of the apple for you. I wouldn't have done this for anyone else."
Perhaps Mu Xiaoyu herself didn't realize that whenever she tried to defend herself but felt a little guilty, her eyes would dart around, and she was too embarrassed to look people in the eye. She looked like a little mouse who had done something naughty, quite adorable.
Li Chenxu found it amusing, raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this, and said with great interest, "Really?"
"of course it's true……"
Mu Xiaoyu felt extremely guilty and continued peeling the fruit with her head down. After peeling off the last bit of peel, she took a small fork, stuck the apple in her mouth, and held it to Li Chenxu's lips.
Li Chenxu didn't eat the apple in front of him, which was only half-eaten. He took the apple and then offered it to Mu Xiaoyu's mouth, saying slowly, "Since it's the best, then it should be yours."
Mu Xiaoyu was initially unaware of Li Chenxu's intentions, but upon hearing his words, she froze in shock. She glanced instinctively at Li Chenxu, then at the apple in front of her, and suddenly burst out laughing.
Mu Xiaoyu has delicate features, but because of her family background, she often exudes a cold and aloof aura. Even if people find her very beautiful, few have the courage to approach her.
During the few years that she and Li Chenxu were married, Li Chenxu was almost certain that Mu Xiaoyu had never smiled at him even once.
Like now, her delicate eyebrows and eyes are completely relaxed, and the cold indifference that keeps people at a distance is gone. There is only affection for the person in front of her. That smile is as if the whole world has become brighter.
It really is beautiful.
As he watched, Li Chenxu couldn't help but laugh.
This is the girl he has loved for so many years. From her bright and beautiful smile at the beginning to now, she has never changed and has always been the most beautiful existence in his heart...
Mu Xiaoyu lowered her head and ate the apple in front of her in one bite. She had eaten it before, and it was just an ordinary apple, even a little bitter. But now, it tasted sweet, and her mouth was filled with a rich, almost indistinguishable sweetness.
After all, it was only a bite of apple, so Mu Xiaoyu quickly ate it. She couldn't help but lick her lips savoring the taste, then bent down and leaned close to Li Chenxu, looking at him with a smile: "Chenxu, tell me the truth, did you secretly have someone switch the apple?"
Why do you say that? Does it not taste good?
Mu Xiaoyu shook her head, her bright eyes almost turning into crescent moons with laughter. Gone was her usual aloofness; she looked incredibly adorable.
She moved even closer to Li Chenxu, the two of them almost touching. The golden sunlight streaming in from the window shone on Mu Xiaoyu's face. At such close range, Li Chenxu could even see the fine downy hairs on Mu Xiaoyu's face.
So cute, it's as if the whole person has become more vibrant because of it.
Mu Xiaoyu kissed Li Chenxu on the lips, then said with a smile, "Can you feel it? If it hadn't been replaced, why would the apple be so sweet? Just like you, so sweet that I want to take a few more bites."
Such words would never have come from the past, Mu Xiaoyu. But this time, having narrowly escaped death, the previous barriers had disappeared, and their feelings were even stronger than before. These sweet words flowed from Mu Xiaoyu's lips almost without hesitation.
The soft touch on his lips startled Li Chenxu for a moment, but only for a second. The next moment, upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, his heart warmed up instantly.
He realized that he had been wrong; his girl had become better and more likable.
Mu Xiaoyu failed her first attempt at peeling an apple, and she vowed to peel a perfect apple for Li Chenxu. So, almost every day after that, Mu Xiaoyu peeled apples for Li Chenxu, at least several a day. Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu took turns eating them, and after eating apples for several days in a row, not to mention Mu Xiaoyu, even Li Chenxu eventually couldn't stand it anymore.
Fortunately, this approach was quite effective. By the end, Mu Xiaoyu was able to peel a perfect apple, and not only that, she could even make apples shaped like rabbits.
Li Chenxu had just had his stitches removed and was leaning against the hospital bed, holding the rabbit-shaped apple that Mu Xiaoyu had given him earlier. It was small and looked very cute, making it almost too cute to eat.
Even so, Li Chenxu couldn't help but want to laugh.
Seeing the rabbit constantly taking pictures of the apple, Li Chenxu laughed and said, "Xiaoyu, have you been treating me like a child these past few days? This... isn't it for kids?"
Mu Xiaoyu was focused on taking photos when she heard this and blurted out without thinking, "Of course it's for the children, but not for you, it's for our children. I'm just practicing a bit beforehand."
After saying this, Mu Xiaoyu seemed oblivious to anything amiss, continuing to focus intently on taking and editing photos. However, upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, Li Chenxu's handsome face beamed with an even wider smile.
In some ways, Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu were both people who didn't smile much in the past. Even after their relationship improved and their feelings for each other grew stronger, Li Chenxu's smile was still faint when he was happy.
But these past few days at the hospital, apart from the first two days, Li Chenxu has had a noticeable smile on his face every day. His aloofness and coldness have almost completely vanished; he looks like a sunny, cheerful young man on campus, completely devoid of the cold, unapproachable demeanor of the head of the Li family.
Several times when Assistant Lin came to the hospital to report on his work, he was shocked by Li Chenxu's appearance and could not believe that the person in front of him was his boss!
