Chapter 138: Cheat (3)
"It's really nothing." Mu Mingtang smiled, she shifted herself and helped him sit up as she said, "I'm just here to wake you up, you can't just sleep as long as you want, I want to help you cultivate a healthy lifestyle. It’s time to start your day"
Xie Xuanchen looked outside carefully, then at Mu Mingtang, who was in front of him, and finally confirmed that nothing happened. Mu Mingtang simply wanted to wake him up. The veins on Xie Xuanchen's forehead started popping, and he pinched the center of both his eyebrows in pain.
"Get up quickly, don't go to sleep." Mu Mingtang ignored him and forced him to get up. Xie Xuanchen stood up with her helplessly. At that moment, the maids were all waiting outside. Everytime Xie Xuanchen wakes up, no one dared to wait in the room where he stayed, except for Mu Mingtang.
Mu Mingtang asked the maids to enter and bring them his toiletries. After Xie Xuanchen finished washing up, the maids quickly dispersed. Mu Mingtang pulled him towards the back of the screen, then went to the side of the box as she asked, "What color do you prefer today?"
As soon as Mu Mingtang let go of him, Xie Xuanchen found a stool to sit on, and yawned lazily: "Whatever."
"Then I’ll pick something I like?"
"Ok."
The weather was getting colder and colder these days, Mu Mingtang picked an ochre red robe with a black underlay, and brought them to Xie Xuanchen.
She brought the clothes to the front of Xie Xuanchen, and then stopped. She thought that her intentions were pretty clear, but Xie Xuanchen looked at her motionlessly, his intentions were also very clear.
The two stared at each other for a long time, and finally Mu Mingtang pointed at herself in disbelief. Xie Xuanchen nodded slightly, implying in silence.
His act has to continue to the very end.
Mu Mingtang used to dress Xie Xuanchen. In the eyes of the maid, Xie Xuanchen was a patient who was too weak to even dress himself.
Mu Mingtang secretly gritted her teeth, she very much suspected that Xie Xuanchen was doing this on purpose, and he was taking revenge on her for waking him up! However, Xie Xuanchen's expression remained calm as ever. Mu Mingtang stared at him for a long time, his expression stayed the same, he even gave off a sense of calmness coming from a sick person. Mu Mingtang had doubts, but couldn't find any evidence for it, so she could only dress him angrily.
After the autumn rain, the weather outside got even colder day by day, and Xie Xuanchen's clothes were getting harder and harder to dress. Mu Mingtang dressed him in a snow-white underlay, then put on an ink-colored long coat, and finally the ochre red round-necked robe outside.
As usual, his crown was usually picked by Mu Mingtang, and Xie Xuanchen had no contribution to it, so Mu Mingtang got to pick out the style. She looked around, and in the end chose a black hair crown.
Mu Mingtang took the comb and slowly combed Xie Xuanchen's hair. There were no outsiders in the house at the moment, and Mu Mingtang spoke very casually. She complained: "The weather has recently become really cold, and I don't have any clothes to wear. I have a lot of clothes in the other room, I have to find a chance to secretly get them here."
No matter how many clothes a woman owns, she’ll always still feel that she does not have enough clothes to wear in the winter. Especially when Mu Mingtang just got married, she was too embarrassed to sleep next to Xie Xuanchen, but stayed in another room by herself. Many of the clothes in her dowry were also there.
Xie Xuanchen heard this, and said: "Why go get them, just buy new ones."
Mu Mingtang was just an ordinary person and she was not willing to behave extravagantly: "The clothes are still in good condition, I haven't even worn them yet. Leaving them there, it's just too wasteful.”
