Shock! The male protagonist has turned dark again, the host should pamper him

Chapter 556: The Brother Who Was Disliked by Everyone as a Stand-in (06)

"hiss-"

Xu Muzhe gasped and raised his arm to look at the back of his hand.

Oil splattered on the back of my hand, and soon a red stain appeared in the middle, contrasting sharply with the surrounding fair skin.

"You got burned by the oil?"

Lin Jianshen suddenly appeared beside Xu Muzhe, turned off the fire, then took Xu Muzhe's hand and walked together to the sink, turning on the tap to wash his reddened skin.

"Does it hurt a lot? How could you be so careless?" Lin Jianshen frowned and complained, "I told you before..."

The sound stopped abruptly. Lin Jianshen pursed his lips, realizing he had almost let something slip.

His relationship with Xu Muzhe wasn't all painful memories. Sometimes Xu Muzhe would be very gentle with him. After a crazy and absurd night together, Xu Muzhe would get up before him and go to the kitchen to make him brunch.

Xu Muzhe had always been a pampered young master, so he had no idea how to cook and always ended up with injured hands.

Lin Jianshen would feel heartbroken every time he saw it, and then carefully treat his wounds.

It was these moments that moved him that made him willing to be Lin Yi'an's stand-in for so long.

He kept deceiving himself, believing that Xu Muzhe would eventually forget Lin Yi'an and be with him properly.

But he never expected that Lin Yi'an would suddenly come back and confess her feelings to Xu Muzhe.

Xu Muzhe was also eager to get rid of him, making him a laughing stock in the relationship.

Lin Jianshen's heart sank. He glanced at Xu Muzhe out of the corner of his eye and found that Xu was just looking down at his hands, seemingly not having heard what he said.

After rinsing with water for a while, Lin Jianshen turned off the tap.

"Does it still hurt?"

Xu Muzhe seemed to have just snapped out of his reverie, and gently withdrew his hand from Lin Jianshen's.

Lin Jianshen frowned slightly, but his face showed no emotion.

"Thank you." Xu Muzhe's smile was faint. "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Lin Jianshen responded and looked at the poached eggs in the pan, thinking to himself that his cooking skills had improved so much.

Previously, fried eggs would turn into a mushy mess and couldn't hold their shape at all, but now they look much better.

It's clear that after he "died," Xu Muzhe must have cooked for Lin Yi'an frequently, which is why he progressed so quickly.

"Why don't you go sit in the living room for a while?" Xu Muzhe turned around, turned on the stove, and continued to flip the eggs with a spatula. "It'll be ready soon. After you finish breakfast, I'll take you home."

Lin Jianshen didn't say anything, but went back to the living room and sat down on the sofa.

Looking at the familiar house and Xu Muzhe's skillful movements in the kitchen.

He wasn't sure if Lin Yi'an had ever stepped into the room.

Perhaps they've been here countless times, even on their beds and sofas.

A surge of restlessness welled up inside Lin Jianshen, making him feel suffocated. Without even saying goodbye to the people in the kitchen, he left the apartment.

When Xu Muzhe came out with the plates, the living room was empty. He turned to look at the entryway and found that Lin Jianshen's shoes were still there, probably forgotten to be changed.

Xu Muzhe looked at the sandwiches and fried eggs on the plate and sighed somewhat forlornly.

He placed the plate on the table, pulled out a chair, sat down, and slowly began to eat the sandwich.

I'm alone again.

A week later, Xu Muzhe came out of school with his schoolbag on his back.

He looked down at his phone and sent a message to his parents in this world.

"Looking down at your phone is not a good habit."

Xu Muzhe was taken aback, and looked up to see Lin Jianshen's smiling face.

"It's you." Xu Muzhe put his phone away. "Looking for your uncle again?"

“I’m not looking for him, I’m here to see you.” Lin Jianshen smiled and took Xu Muzhe’s arm. “I’m sorry for leaving without saying goodbye last time. Something happened at home, so I left in a hurry.”

"is it serious?"

"It wasn't serious, it's all taken care of." Lin Jianshen shook his head and continued, "Where are you going? Are you going home?"

"Hmm." Xu Muzhe pulled his arm away, his tone somewhat indifferent. "What do you want from me?"

"Today is my birthday, will you stay with me?"

Today is certainly not Lin Jianshen's birthday; it's just an excuse for him to come see Xu Muzhe.

Birthdays should be spent with family.

Lin Jianshen understood his refusal and quickly took Xu Muzhe's arm again, gripping his sleeve tightly.

“My dad is away on a business trip, and I don’t have many friends. I didn’t want to spend my birthday alone, so I thought of you.”

Before Xu Muzhe could speak, Lin Jianshen rested his head on Xu Muzhe's shoulder and said coquettishly, "Stay with me, okay?"

His coquettish manner drew the attention of the surrounding students.

Xu Muzhe pinched the bridge of his nose helplessly.

"Understood," Xu Muzhe said. "This is the only time."
