Chapter 88 – Endless Embarrassment
At this moment, time seemed to freeze as their eyes met.
At this moment, there seemed to be an awkward atmosphere in the air, and a cold sweat slid down Yang Yi’s forehead.
At this moment, Yang Yi wanted to drill a hole in the ground and dared not look directly at Mo Fei.
But he suddenly had an idea, forced out a smile and said, “Well, you said it hurts, right? Let me take a look.”
Xixi had no idea what was happening under the table. She found that she couldn’t understand her parents’ conversation. With a puzzled look, she looked at her father for a while, then she looked at her mother for a while.
Mo Fei’s face was very hot, especially when she was watched by her daughter. She bit her lower lip and said angrily, “I’m fine! Why don’t you let go!”
Yang Yi suddenly realized what he was doing and hurriedly let go of her feet, but the soft and smooth feeling on his fingertips seemed to linger.
They then lowered their heads and kept silent with tacit understanding.
They didn’t say anything, but Xixi had something to say. She pestered her father and said, “Papa, help me get the celery out. Xixi doesn’t like celery.”
Yang Yi was ashamed in his heart. This time, he stood on Mo Fei’s side. He coughed twice and said, “No, Xixi, your mother is right. You have to eat everything! Eat some celery, it’s good for your stomach.”
Celery is rich in vitamins, carotene and many kinds of mineral elements needed by the human body. it has the effect of invigorating the stomach and promoting blood circulation, clearing the bowel. Xixi usually eats a lot of meat and likes sweets. Sometimes, she has upset stomachs, which is caused by unbalanced nutrition!
“Papa, can you get some out, and I’ll just eat a little bit?” The little guy began to bargain.
Mo Fei actually did give Xixi a little too much celery. Xixi wrinkled her nose like bitter melon.
Yang Yi had no choice but to take some away for Xixi, and the little girl reluctantly ate several sticks of celery.
Finished eating, Xixi pushed the bowl, jumped down from the chair and said, “I’m done!”
Then she scrambled to her feet and ran away for fear that her father would let her eat celery again.
Yang Yi and Mo Fei both watched helplessly as their daughter ran away to play with her toys, but when they turned around, they made eye contact and the embarrassment returned.
The two seemed really not used to this feeling of being just the two of them. They were more awkward than strangers. And not only awkward, but there was also a kind of inexplicable ambiguity that made them feel uncomfortable from time to time.
“Cough, cough, you should eat more celery, too.” Yang Yi tragically found that he couldn’t leave the topic of celery tonight. In an attempt to ease the silence, he tried to make conversation, “You have an upset stomach. I will try to make stomach-nourishing Chinese food for you these two days.”
Mo Fei couldn’t help asking, “How do you know I have an upset stomach?”
Mo Xiaojuan knows her situation better, but Mo Xiaojuan and Yang Yi don’t deal with each other, so they basically don’t interact with each other, so it’s impossible for Mo Xiaojuan to tell Yang Yi!
Is it Xixi?
“I saw it on TV.” Yang Yi scratched his head, thought about it carefully, and said, “Probably on Guanzhou TV’s ‘Have Something to Say to You’.”
This is a talk show. Before Mo Fei released her album, she accepted the company’s arrangement to attend it once. At that time, Yang Yi was watching TV at home with Xixi. He accidentally pressed to their channel and watched it for a while.
Mo Fei was silent. She didn’t know how to express it, or she didn’t dare to express it. She felt warm in her heart and was moved.
…….
In the evening, Yang Yi moved to the guest room to sleep, while Mo Fei and Xixi slept in the master bedroom. Although they will be sleeping in Yang Yi’s bed, Yang Yi changed the sheets and quilts.
Moreover, Yang Yi’s room was clean, almost spotless. It was the first time Mo Fei stayed in it, but it was more comfortable than a hotel’s bedroom and her own bedroom.
As she lay in bed, the scent of soap from the pillow emanated out, and before she knew it, she gradually fell asleep.
A night without words…
The next day, just after dawn, Mo Fei was awakened by the chirping birds outside the window.
Although she got up early, she also went to bed early. Mo Fei stretched out and got out of bed. She opened the curtains and looked at the banyan tree outside the balcony and the Grand Canal in the distance. Mo Fei only felt refreshed and comfortable!
I haven’t slept this soundly in a long time.
Not to mention Mo Fei’s state after getting the two songs of “Mu Li’ang” some time ago, Mo Fei hasn’t slept well since she decided to make a comeback for more than half a year.
She has been under a lot of pressure!
Only today, in Yang Yi’s bed… cough, cough, it should be said that it was in Yang Yi’s bed that Mo Fei found the feeling of sleeping comfortably for the first time in half a year.
There was almost nothing to worry about, and she slept until dawn.
It was still early. Mo Fei looked at the time, closed the curtains, and then sorted out her nightdress, which has been a little loose from sleep. She hesitated, didn’t put on her coat, pushed open the bedroom door and went out.
However, there was no sign of Yang Yi at home!
“Where did you go?” Mo Fei saw that the room where Yang Yi slept was also empty and the beds were neatly arranged. The only difference from the military camp was that Yang Yi no longer folded the quilt into tofu blocks, with edges and corners.
In the bathroom, Mo Fei saw that her hair was messy and her eyes were still a little puffy after she woke up – she was still very beautiful. She was so startled that she didn’t bother to go find Yang Yi. She hurriedly went back to get a facial cleanser and skincare products and went to the bathroom to wash and take care of it.
After an unknown period of time, Mo Fei finally finished taking care of her image, and just as she was cleaning up the mess, there was movement outside.
Mo Fei, worried about Xixi, hurriedly opened the door. After coming out, she ran into Yang Yi by chance, who came back from exercising and shopping.
When Yang Yi goes to exercise, he usually wears relatively simple clothes. Today, he was wearing a sports vest, which was wet with sweat. His strong muscles looked like they have been rubbed with oil, which stretches the sport vest tight.
The strong visual impact almost suffocated Mo Fei.
“You, you…” Mo Fei stammered, her heart beating wildly, a hot feeling spread from her chest to her neck, and then her two delicate ears were dyed red.
“Your awake?” Yang Yi was also a bit flustered. He quickly skimmed over Mo Fei’s body and face, then lifted the bag in his hand and said, “I went to buy vegetables, and that, that, I’ll go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.”
Mo Fei didn’t even know how sexy she was right now!
She was tall and beautiful. She managed her image well in the morning, looking as beautiful as she usually does. What Mo Fei didn’t notice was that the nightdress she was wearing had a wide opening in the neckline.
Yang Yi’s glance over her swan-like neck, her V-shaped exquisite collarbone, her delicate and clear skin, and her looming mountains.
Although Yang Yi wasn’t green and inexperienced anymore, he has been suppressed for too long. Moreover, he didn’t know why but he has a special attraction to Mo Fei. At this moment, Yang Yi felt that his little brother was swelling rapidly…
Are you kidding me?
Afraid of making a fool of himself, he couldn’t even speak properly and hurriedly ran into the kitchen.
Mo Fei was too preoccupied with her own thing that she didn’t notice Yang Yi’s strange performance. She went back to the master bedroom and sat down for a long time before she calmed down.
“How can you be so lacking in self-control?” Almost at the same time, both Mo Fei and Yang Yi were secretly blaming themselves.
