Chapter 29 – Autistic Young Master VS Ruthless Boss (4)
It seems that the situation is different from what I imagined. I thought this man was harming my brother, but now it’s clear that my brother is holding onto him and refusing to let him go.
The fact that Mu Jin, who is usually withdrawn, is so actively sticking to him must have some other reason.
“Xiao Jin, what’s going on?” Mu Yaqin, who finally realized the situation, hurriedly asked Mu Jin.
Mu Jin turned his head and said to her, “He saved me.”
While saying this, Mu Jin reached out and touched Leng Xiao’s chest, showing the bloodstains on his hand to Mu Yaqin.
Seeing her brother, although expressionless, with eyes full of anxiety, the female lead finally understood.
After carefully observing Leng Xiao and noticing signs of a recent struggle around, Mu Yaqin began to suspect that when she wasn’t around, Mu Jin might have been abducted by bad people, and the person in front of her rescued him.
Unconsciously, within a few seconds, Mu Yaqin had imagined the whole process of Lengxiao rescuing Mu Jin as a hero.
Realizing that she had made a mistake, misunderstanding her brother’s lifesaver, Mu Yaqin quickly apologized while running towards them.
Apologizing to Leng Xiao, she said, “I’m sorry, sir. I misunderstood earlier! I’ll take you to the hospital now.”
Leng Xiao shook his head at her words and said, “No need.” He still intended to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible.
However, regardless, the young man by his side refused to let go. Seeing Mu Jin like this, Mu Yaqin felt that they couldn’t leave the benefactor unattended, so she tried persuading Leng Xiao with many words.
Seeing the sincere attitude of the female lead, and the little guy by her side staring at him with those watery cat-like eyes, Leng Xiao pursed his lips and finally nodded.
Thinking that he was injured and had nowhere to hide, perhaps following this brother-sister duo was the best choice for now.
As Leng Xiao insisted on not going to the hospital, Mu Yaqin had no choice but to bring him to their home.
However, for some reason, while driving in front, Mu Yaqin felt an illusion that her precious brother was about to be abducted.
Mu Jin in the car was quite pleased; he couldn’t help but be satisfied with this operation.
His lover had turned into his lifesaver, transforming from the antagonist in the original timeline into a hero. This change was excellent in Mu Jin’s eyes.
Soon, they arrived at the Mu family home.
After returning home, Mu Yaqin originally wanted to arrange a room downstairs for Leng Xiao, but Mu Jin insisted that he stay next door.
Although he didn’t speak, he tightly held Leng Xiao’s hand and refused to let him enter the room, making Mu Yaqin and Leng Xiao compromise.
After taking Leng Xiao to Mu Jin’s next-door room, the little guy finally stopped blocking the way.
After settling Leng Xiao, the siblings finally had some time alone.
Fortunately, the original owner, although autistic, had extreme trust in his sister. So, Mu Yaqin, stumbling through, finally learned about the ins and outs of the incident from Mu Jin.
It turned out that things were just as she had suspected—someone wanted to harm Mu Jin.
Sighing deeply, Mu Yaqin felt that she could never leave Mu Jin alone outside in the future.
However, her brother seemed to be too attached to the man who saved him. Thinking of Mu Jin’s past traumas, Mu Yaqin understood his closeness to Leng Xiao.
Perhaps Mu Jin had hoped for a hero to appear and rescue him back then. If someone like that had appeared at the time, Mu Jin might not have ended up like this.
Lowering her eyelids to conceal the pain in her eyes, Mu Yaqin gently patted Mu Jin’s shoulder.
She couldn’t help but think that if this man hadn’t appeared in time to protect Mu Jin, who knows what terrible things might have happened to her precious little brother.
Thinking of this, Mu Yaqin felt even more grateful to Lengxiao.
Because she knew that Leng Xiao had protected Mu Jin, the female lead only thought that the injuries on Leng Xiao were all incurred while saving Mu Jin and didn’t suspect anything else.
To express her gratitude, after being rejected when she volunteered to help Leng Xiao with his wounds, Mu Yaqin decisively entered the kitchen, determined to showcase her culinary skills and prepare some nutritious food for her benefactor.
Mu Jin, very concerned, followed behind Mu Yaqin.
Having witnessed the female lead’s extraordinary cooking skills and then seeing Leng Xiao eating the food expressionlessly, Mu Jin was instantly full of admiration for his lover.
The taste of the food in his mouth was indeed indescribable, but all the ingredients were very nutritious. Therefore, Leng Xiao didn’t mind.
After all, during external missions, there were often unavoidable situations. Sometimes, he had to rely on emergency rations to sustain himself for days and nights while tracking targets without the luxury of a decent meal.
At such times, even if the food tasted bad, he would swallow it. So, the man didn’t show any aversion to Mu Yaqin’s culinary skills.
However, as he ate, he couldn’t help but notice the little guy who had been standing at the door and staring at him.
Sensing Leng Xiao’s gaze, the female lead finally noticed Mu Jin at the doorway. Smiling, she waved at him, and Mu Jin, wearing a teddy bear-patterned pajama and fluffy slippers, walked slowly into the room.
He hid behind Mu Yaqin and stared at Leng Xiao, his eyes filled with curiosity.
Like a little cat peeking, as if being a bit shy after previously holding onto Leng Xiao’s arm when he wanted to leave. It seemed like now, he was shyly hiding behind his sister.
A trace of amusement appeared in Leng Xiao’s eyes, thinking back to when he wanted to leave earlier, and the other person stubbornly held onto his arm, not letting him go. Now, it looked like he was showing a bit of timidity, even hiding behind his sister.
With a slight smile in his eyes, Leng Xiao couldn’t help but feel that Mu Jin, who was peeking, looked somewhat cute.
In response to Mu Jin’s appearance, Mu Yaqin expressed her gratitude to Leng Xiao. “Thank you very much for today.”
“Xiao Jin has had autism since he was very young. After our parents passed away, he became even more resistant to anyone approaching him. He has kept himself locked at home all these years.”
“Today is the first time he has actively said he wants to go out, and I never expected such a thing to happen. It’s all thanks to you for appearing in time.”
“I’m sure it’s because you saved Xiao Jin; now he sees you as a hero. You are the first person, besides me, that Xiao Jin has actively approached in so many years.”
Autism? Leng Xiao was momentarily stunned at the words, looking at the curious cat behind the female lead. He couldn’t connect such an adorable little creature with the word “autism.”
But thinking back, their initial encounter did show that the other person’s behavior was indeed different from ordinary people.
Usually, when someone is surrounded by thugs, even if not screaming loudly, there would be some fearful reactions. However, the young man in front of him remained calm and quiet, without making any noise.
He wondered if the other person wouldn’t know how to resist if he hadn’t appeared.
Thinking about this, Leng Xiao felt a bitter taste in his mouth and a hint of bitterness in his heart.
When it came to her brother, Mu Yaqin seemed to have opened up and talked about Mu Jin for quite a while before realizing she had stayed too long.
Quickly expressing gratitude to Leng Xiao and not wanting to disturb his rest, she left with Mu Jin.
Afterward, Mu Yaqin watched Mu Jin close his eyes and felt that her brother had fallen asleep before returning to her own room to rest.
Little did she know that, after she left, a certain little guy secretly climbed out of bed and sneaked into the neighboring man’s room.
Hearing the sound outside, Leng Xiao vigilantly opened his eyes. He habitually stayed alert and never really slept soundly.
Quietly observing the movements outside, he soon saw a small figure sneaking in.
The person entered the room silently, stood in front of his bed for a while, and said nothing.
Leng Xiao remained still, pretending to be asleep, wanting to see what the other person wanted to do. In no time, there were subtle sounds near his bedside. Shortly after, he felt something approaching him.
Swiftly opening his eyes, Leng Xiao grabbed the hand that wanted to touch him.
Sitting up, he turned on the light switch. Seeing the little guy being held by him without any resistance, Leng Xiao looked at himself with a frowning brow and asked, “What are you doing here so late?”
The person opposite seemed to have reacted for a long time when hearing his words. A thin blush appeared on his face, and he turned his head to look at the cute candies placed on the bedside.
At this moment, the man noticed that there were many cute candies with charming packaging placed on the bedside at some point, and Mu Jin was holding a handkerchief in his hand.
Seeing that the other person didn’t have any weapons in his hand, Leng Xiao released his hold on Mu Jin. Thinking, could it be that the little guy wanted to give him candies to express gratitude?
However, what about the handkerchief in his hand?
The night light on the bedside was on, so the other person could see his appearance clearly. Although he had treated his wounds, he couldn’t control the slight fever.
Wiping his forehead, where there was indeed a lot of sweat, Leng Xiao realized that the little guy might have noticed it and wanted to help him wipe the sweat, but ended up startling him.
Feeling a bit guilty, Leng Xiao tried to force a smile at Mu Jin, but it looked somewhat awkward as he rarely made such expressions.
A fleeting smile appeared in Mu Jin’s eyes, but after regaining his freedom, he still raised his arm, persistently holding the handkerchief. He approached again and gently wiped the sweat beads on the man’s forehead.
The two were very close, and Leng Xiao felt like he could see the eyelashes on the other person’s eyes clearly.
The little guy had fair and transparent skin, a small and delicate nose, and a round, cute face with large cat-like eyes. The slightly raised pink lips were tightly pursed at the moment, seemingly taking wiping sweat as a very serious and earnest matter.
The slightly curled short brown hair looked exceptionally soft, making Leng Xiao unconsciously reach out to rub it, and the touch was indeed as he had imagined.
However, his actions seemed to have frightened the person in front of him. The wiping action paused, and the other person instantly released his hand, and the handkerchief fell on the bed.
The little guy, covering the spot on his head that had been touched, looked silly at himself. The large eyes were full of confusion.
This appearance really trembled the heartstrings of the man, and his gaze unconsciously softened.
Unable to control himself, he reached out again, poked Mu Jin’s cheek. Looking at the little guy’s stunned appearance, he couldn’t help but curl his lips.
Subconsciously rubbing his fingers, the touch at the fingertips unexpectedly felt good.
Picking up one of the candies that had been placed on the bedside table, he shook it in front of Mu Jin and softly asked, “Did you bring this candy for me?”
Mu Jin nodded at his words, and for a moment, Leng Xiao’s heart softened. Opening the candy wrapper, he ate one.
One of the reasons I really love QT is because most of the time the mc and ml is unconditionally in love with each other, it’s like their love is engraved into their soul (it is), this goes especially hard with tge ml cuz he always forget 💔
