You're My Only Star

Chapter 236 - Collecting Interest

Lu Xun stood in front of the sink and stared back at his reflection in the mirror. His expression was blank but his mind was preoccupied with various thoughts. As he snapped out of those thoughts, Lu Xun quickly washed up, wanting to get out of the bathroom.

His steps halted when he began to take notice of everything around him. It was not the first time that he had gone into this bathroom but this was the first time that he had taken a good look at everything around him.

This is his girlfriend's place. Therefore, it was not a strange thing to see that the bathroom was filled with her items.

Seeing everything that belonged to her made his heart swell with something warm. Then he recalled the moment he woke up earlier only to find her sleeping in his arms.

A faint smile curled on his lips.

Although her appearance was a little funny, Lu Xun thought that Song Xing Xing was absolutely adorable that way. Her shy eyes and the way she had tried to avoid his gaze... Just thinking about them could make him smile.

After he had looked enough at her items in the bathroom, Lu Xun finally got out. On the bed, there was a clean shirt that belonged to her brother that she had prepared for him.

Lu Xun hesitated for a while before he finally reached out to put them on. Then, he looked at his dirty shirt again for a long time.

He stood on the spot for a long time, thinking that the shirt had his girlfriend's scent on it.

At this time, Mr. Fluffball walked into the room. The grey cat jumped on the bed and looked at him, staring at his soiled shirt.

Lu Xun saw the expression on Mr. Fluffball's face and thought that this cat was reading his thoughts and judging him for it.

It was making him slightly uncomfortable.

His lips parted, wanting to say something. But he soon realized that he would probably look like a fool if he explained what he was doing to the cat.

Mr. Fluffball continued to stare at the shirt in his hand. Then, his gaze shifted back at Lu Xun. "Meow." Papa, are you not going to give your shirt to me?

Of course, Lu Xun was completely unaware of what was going on in the cat's thoughts.

Seeing that the person was not reacting, Mr. Fluffball inched closer to sniff at the shirt in his hand. His expression changed when realized that his papa's shirt smelled a lot like his master, Song Xing Xing.

There was a complicated look on the cat's face. After a while, Mr. Fluffball jumped down from the bed and walk off. He was no longer interested in that shirt in Lu Xun's hand.

Lu Xun finally walked out of the room and found his girlfriend in the kitchen.

He was about to call her out when he noticed the slight smile on her face.

Song Xing Xing stood in front of the stove, focusing everything on the food in the pot.

The house smelled of something delicious.

From where he stood, Lu Xun could hear the sound of the food gurgling in the pot. There was a faint sound of her humming to a song that he did not know.

Lu Xun decided to stand there for a while longer to watch her as she prepared their breakfast.

He could not help but like the scene in front of him.

Waking up early in the morning only to see this scenery made him feel happy. Suddenly, Lu Xun was missing how a home would feel like.

This scene heightened his urge to get married.

Rather than waiting for the unit next door to her to finish its renovation, it would be better if he kidnapped her back to his place, right?

At this time, Lu Xun suddenly recalled his plan and everything that he had done to hint to Song Xing Xing that he wanted to get married. These days, whenever they went out, Lu Xun had always chosen a place that would make one thing about marriage and a wedding.

He wondered whether Song Xing Xing would notice his intention.

Then, he wondered what was her thoughts regarding marriage.

Not too long ago, he had tried to bring up the matter but the talk did not go as well as he had hoped for. At this time, he did not know whether Song Xing Xing was thinking about marriage.

Or perhaps, she was comfortable with dating and being with him just like this. He knew that there were a lot of couples these days who choose to stay together without the binding of a marriage.

Was this what Song Xing Xing wanted as well?

"What are you doing?"

Lu Xun snapped out of his thoughts and found that his girlfriend was looking back at him. He walked over in her direction and peeked into the pot to see some dumplings floating in the soup.

"I'm glad that this shirt fits you well," Song Xing Xing said as she gave him a look over. Her face turned a little red as she recalled how she had drooled over him last night. Swiftly, she turned around to look into the pot to avoid his gaze.

Just then, Lu Xun wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer until her back was touching his chest. His chin rested on her shoulder. Lu Xun took a deep breath and closed his eyes halfway. Her scent filled his nose again and he felt as if he was drugged.

Song Xing Xing shrunk her neck, feeling that his breath was tickling her. She turned around, wanting to tell him not to disturb her when she was in the kitchen. Just as she had parted her lips, the person had caught her lips into a kiss.

Her body froze, not expecting the sudden kiss. A few seconds passed by and her body gradually relaxed. Song Xing Xing turned her body slightly, giving him more access to kiss her properly.

The dumpling soup continued to boil in the pot. There was no doubt that the dumpling would turn soggy by now.

Lu Xun finally pulled away after a while. He lowered his gaze and saw her reddened face and delicious lips. He really wanted to go and kiss her again.

"What was that for?" Song Xing Xing asked.

"Collecting interest. Didn't I work hard yesterday? I should get a reward for my work, don't you think?"

Song Xing Xing stared back at him and chuckled. The glint in her eyes indicated that she was up to no good. "But you're helping to clear an artist under your agency. President Lu, shouldn't you be asking Huo Yun Chen for a kiss then?"

As those words escaped her lips, her mind started to go wild.

Seeing the strange look on her face, Lu Xun's face turned darker.. "Song Xing Xing, what are you thinking about?" He suddenly had this urge to punish her.
