Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 92

Chapter 92: Chapter 92: When I Can’t See You, My Heart Is Like Stagnant Water

...

After several days of work, Shen Yue finally finished making winter clothes for the little cubs.

The mud walls of the bamboo house had also completely dried.

To prepare for the cold, she had also spent the past two days in the courtyard, storing up dry wood and making some charcoal for the winter.

Meanwhile, Mu Silin and the others were going to extreme lengths to get on the little cubs’ good side.

They even started competing with each other to make toys.

Soon, the courtyard was filled with all sorts of imaginative toys made by these "attentive fathers"—spinning tops, woven balls, wooden swords, and scratching posts.

The whole courtyard had practically become a playground.

Of course, when it came to her, the men were even more ruthless in their methods.

Case in point: Mu Silin, who had changed his robes yet again, approached with a bouquet of freshly picked flowers in hand. A smile graced his handsome face as he walked over with a long, deliberate, and solemn stride.

Seeing this, Shen Yue’s eyelid twitched.

’If I’m not mistaken, this is the third outfit Mu Silin has worn today, right?’

Mu Silin drew near, looked at her, and spoke with an unnatural expression:

"Shen Yue, are the flowers today beautiful?"

Shen Yue glanced at them.

"They’re beautiful."

"Tell me, is there anything in this world more lovely and beautiful than these flowers?"

"Hm? What?"

Without a second thought, Mu Silin replied:

"You."

"In my eyes, you are more beautiful than the flowers, more lovely than any bloom. When I see you, my heart won’t stop racing. When I can’t see you, my heart is like stagnant water. You are the only reason my heart keeps beating."

As he spoke, he pressed his lips together shyly and snuck glances at her.

Shen Yue’s scalp went completely numb!!

She stared at Mu Silin, dumbfounded.

By her count, she had already been listening to his cheesy pick-up lines for several days straight.

She finally couldn’t take it anymore.

"Leopard, who gave you the idea to say these things to me?"

It wasn’t that she was allergic to romance; she just couldn’t stand it.

Some clueless person must have given Mu Silin this terrible idea. He’d been rattling off at least ten cheesy pick-up lines to her a day.

Every single one was so cringeworthy you could carve out a three-bedroom apartment from the sheer secondhand embarrassment.

Mu Silin froze for a moment, then immediately grew nervous.

"You don’t like it?"

Shen Yue nodded at him, her expression serious and utterly sincere.

"Yes. Don’t say them anymore."

’Anyone would start to hate it if they heard it too much!’

’It was almost enough to make her puke!’

Looking as though he’d lost face, Mu Silin shamefully shoved the flowers into her hands, turned, and bolted.

It seemed he wouldn’t be spitting any more pick-up lines at her for the next few days.

Shen Yue looked at the flowers in her hand and slowly let out a sigh of relief.

But when she turned around...

...she saw Bai Chaosi, whose robes seemed to be getting looser and more open by the day.

He was bent over slightly, gently picking up fallen twigs from the ground.

His open collar revealed a stretch of immaculate, fair skin.

Following the line of his chest down, one could even see the man’s clearly defined abs.

Paired with his silver hair drifting gently and his noble, elegant posture, he was simply beautiful and alluring...

Shen Yue felt a sudden warmth in her nasal cavity. ’Oh no...’

She quickly tilted her head back and pinched her nose, trying to stop a nosebleed.

Meanwhile, Bai Chaosi, having picked up the twigs, held them lightly in his hand. He lifted his gaze to her, his eyes filled with an indescribable, gentle allure.

He strode over elegantly, his gaze captivating as he approached.

"What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

His voice was light and soft... like a feather brushing across her heart, both ticklish and tingly...

’Tempting devil, an absolute devil!’

She raised her other hand.
