Chapter 30 – Autistic Young Master VS Ruthless Boss (5)
Watching the anticipation in the other person’s eyes, the man involuntarily wanted to respond and whispered, “Very sweet.”
Sure enough, the little guy’s entire demeanor seemed much happier because of his response.
Even though he usually didn’t like such overly sweet food, for some reason, knowing that the little guy deliberately brought it for him, he really wanted to taste it.
The taste was indeed very sweet but lacked the cloying flavor that could make someone feel nauseous.
The man felt that the little guy standing in front of him might be like a candy wrapped in candy paper.
You only need to look at him; you don’t need to taste it to know that the taste beneath the candy paper must be sweet.
Earlier, when Mu Yaqin came to visit him, the topic of Mu Jin was endless. It was obvious that she had a serious brother complex. Therefore, Leng Xiao also learned a lot about Mu Jin.
In addition to the little guy across having autism, the man didn’t expect Mu Jin’s age to be much older than he had imagined.
He thought the little guy, with such a cute appearance and a slim figure, would be at most sixteen or seventeen years old. But unexpectedly, he was already nineteen years old, an adult.
However, the guy’s youthful appearance made him look like a teenager, especially since he was still wearing pajamas with cartoon patterns, paired with a doll-like face, which was surprisingly fitting.
But he could understand Mu Yaqin; with such a cute little guy, he might want to take care of him as well.
Thinking of the eye-catching plush slippers from earlier, Leng Xiao noticed Mu Jin’s feet now. He found out that when the other person sneaked over, he wasn’t wearing any shoes, explaining why there was almost no sound when he entered the room.
The guy’s feet were also petite, and the fair, round toes clearly showed he felt the floor was cold.
Unconsciously furrowing his brows, Leng Xiao said with some annoyance, “Why aren’t you wearing shoes? What if you catch a cold?”
Instinctively, he pulled Mu Jin to sit on the bed, reached out, and held the other’s cold feet, rubbing them repeatedly, hoping to warm up the person beside him as quickly as possible.
It wasn’t until the other’s body temperature warmed up that he sighed in relief. But only after realizing what he had done, his body suddenly stiffened.
What was wrong with him, helping an almost stranger warm his feet? But everything happened so naturally, his reaction was entirely subconscious.
Feeling a bit awkward, he raised his head, only to be surprised to find that the little guy in front of him had actually shown a smile.
Although light, the man captured it.
This was the first time he had seen a genuine expression on Mu Jin’s face. He wasn’t well-versed in autism, but he remembered that they seemed to have closed off their inner emotions, making it difficult to express their feelings.
Only when facing people they trusted and were close to could the situation be slightly alleviated. So, did the little guy trust and feel close to him?
Even though the smile was fleeting, it seemed to be imprinted in the man’s heart. So pure that it made the man’s heart tremble involuntarily.
Especially when he just confirmed that there were two shallow dimples when the other person smiled.
The sweet feeling reached the depths of his heart. Staring at Mu Jin for a long time, Leng Xiao finally said with a slightly shaky voice, “Little guy, you just smiled.”
His heartbeat skipped a beat, the man took a deep breath, making an effort to ignore the uncontrollable palpitations in his heart.
He just felt that it must be because the night was so beautiful, and the person in front of him was too cute. No matter what, he was a normal adult man; it was normal to feel fond of such a cute little guy.
Looking at Mu Jin’s face losing its expression again and wearing a hint of confusion, Leng Xiao felt a bit disappointed; he wanted to see that smile again.
However, realizing that it was already dark, he said to the person beside him, “It’s very late; go back and rest.”
Mu Jin nodded at his words and obediently got up to leave.
Watching the figure disappear at the door, the man felt a sense of loss in his heart but found that the other person’s handkerchief had actually been left on his bed.
A grass-green handkerchief, also embroidered with a small bear, just as cute as the little guy.
Out of nowhere, he sniffed the handkerchief under his nose. It had a faint fragrance of lotus leaves, very fresh.
But after a while, Leng Xiao’s back stiffened again.
Realizing that his actions were somewhat creepy, the man’s face darkened. After some hesitation, he ultimately didn’t discard the handkerchief but neatly folded it and placed it under his pillow.
At the same time, Mu Jin, returning to his room, felt content. He could tell that his lover was quite infatuated with him.
Perhaps it was because the man’s current situation was unsafe, and Mu Jin had autism; that’s why the other person was so restrained.
However, now that they were reunited, Mu Jin could finally settle down and seriously consider the original host’s wishes.
Mu Jin wasn’t in a hurry about acquiring spiritual energy. In his mind, he and his lover would always be together. They had a lifetime ahead, and future matters could be discussed slowly.
On the contrary, the situation on the female lead’s side wasn’t very optimistic. After all, she had to independently support the entire Mu family, which was not easy for a young girl.
With various distant relatives watching closely and many businesses wanting to take advantage of the Mu family’s downfall, Mu Jin had to prioritize helping the female lead and prevent those schemers from taking advantage.
Although the original host dropped out of school early due to autism, he loved studying. His room had more than one entire wall of bookshelves, and the room was well-equipped.
To prevent his precious younger brother from getting bored, Mu Yaqin specifically placed the latest computer in Mu Jin’s room. She hoped her younger brother could go online and at least learn about the world through the internet.
The original host had no interest in the internet, but Mu Jin was quite skilled in it. Thinking about various hacking techniques he learned during his previous life in the human realm, he realized he could create some amazing code effortlessly.
Moreover, Mu Yaqin would deposit a large amount of pocket money into the original host’s account every month, which the host had never used.
Casually checking the account balance, Mu Jin discovered that he was now an invisible little rich person, deeply sighing at how good Mu Yaqin was as a sister.
As for some matters related to licenses and information online, with 003’s assistance, Mu Jin could easily handle them.
Perhaps he could find a good business to do online. After all, it was a rapidly developing information age, and public opinion could influence many things.
If he could control the online space, he could undoubtedly provide significant help to Mu Yaqin. He could also monitor the Mu family’s business network in real-time, preventing anyone from taking advantage.
Deciding to act, Mu Jin wrote some programs on the computer to sell online and methodically set up his own company on the internet. He also had 003 constantly monitor the movements of the male lead, Xie Boyan.
Since Mu Jin was genuinely interested in networking and had lived a whole life in an ancient world in his previous life, he couldn’t resist playing around when he suddenly got a computer in this life.
So, transformed into an online addict, Mu Jin successfully stayed up surfing the internet until midnight, resulting in him sleeping soundly even after the sun was up the next day.
Therefore, when Mu Yaqin came to Mu Jin’s room the next day, she saw Mu Jin hugging his pillow, curled up into a small ball, sleeping soundly.
Seeing his little brother like this, Mu Yaqin’s heart trembled with affection, feeling that Mu Jin was surrounded by pink bubbles.
Indeed, Xiao Jin was the cutest in the whole world!
Although she felt a bit reluctant, Mu Yaqin had to wake up Mu Jin to have breakfast on time.
Fortunately, most of the breakfast items were pre-made, such as bread and ham, which could be heated up, so Mu Jin was relieved.
After breakfast and taking care of himself, Mu Jin immediately left his room.
Seeing Mu Jin standing blankly in front of Leng Xiao’s door, the female lead sighed. She had to knock on the door for him and bring him inside.
Having to leave for the company to handle affairs, Mu Yaqin, looking at her little brother who rarely showed any reluctance to leave her, realized that his attention was mostly on a strange man. She couldn’t help but feel a bit sour in her heart.
But thinking about how Xiao Jin used to be lonely at home without anyone to accompany him, and finally finding someone willing to get close to him, it seemed like a good thing.
Suppressing the slight sourness in her heart, the female lead left the old mansion of the Mu family alone.
As the door closed, Leng Xiao, looking at the little guy staring at him with a somewhat infatuated gaze, felt a hitch in his drinking motion. After all, anyone would feel a bit awkward under such a scrutinizing gaze.
Carefully examining the man in front of him, Mu Jin, seeing that the other person was in good spirits and seemed much better than yesterday, breathed a sigh of relief.
Coughing lightly, Leng Xiao frowned slightly and said to Mu Jin, “Aren’t you going to your own room to play?”
However, the little guy on the other side did not speak but directly sat down beside him. Although he didn’t reply, it seemed that the little guy had decided to stick with him.
Rubbing his forehead, the man deliberately ignored the joy in his heart. He could only convince himself that there was nothing urgent to do now, and having someone around might not be a bad thing.
However, Leng Xiao was always a man of few words. Besides carrying out missions in the midst of gunfire, he had no other entertainment. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say to the person in front of him.
As for Mu Jin, his character in this life was that of an autistic youth. Naturally, he couldn’t open up and chat endlessly with the other person.
So, the two of them stared at each other for quite a while.
In the end, Leng Xiao couldn’t hold back and reluctantly asked Mu Jin, “What do you usually do at home by yourself?”
Mu Jin paused at the question, looked out the window, thought for a moment, and slowly said to Leng Xiao, “Read books, wait for my sister.”
Hearing the other person’s words, Leng Xiao couldn’t help but feel a bit distressed. He couldn’t understand what could lead such a cute little guy to fall into the troubles of autism.
However, he also understood that he shouldn’t touch on other people’s sore spots. Perhaps Mu Jin had experienced some painful memories he didn’t want to recall, leading to such a result.
Waving at Mu Jin, Leng Xiao saw the other person obediently walk to him. He gently patted the space beside him on the bed.
Seeing Mu Jin following his instructions and sitting beside him, a sense of satisfaction arose in the man’s heart.
Thinking to himself, how could there be such a docile, kind, and cute little guy? He looked delicate, just like a doll.
Someone like Mu Jin should live in a candy house, eat delicious food, wear cute clothes, and be well taken care of for a lifetime.
Just as Leng Xiao was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly saw Mu Jin standing up.
It seemed like the other person remembered something, as he looked into his eyes while walking to the door. Leng Xiao knew that Mu Jin wanted him to follow, so he stood up and followed him.
Mu Jin also just remembered that the original host did have a hobby.
Although the Mu family’s old mansion wasn’t large, it had its own small garden. All the plants inside were taken care of by the original host.
During his free time, the original host liked to read books in the backyard garden. It seemed that being with those flowers, plants, and trees made him feel a sense of inner tranquility.
As the Flower God, Mu Jin naturally had a full fondness for these plants. After remembering, he immediately wanted to take Leng Xiao to the backyard garden to have a look.
Although the layout inside wasn’t particularly special, one glance was enough to see that these plants had been carefully cultivated.
Breathing in the fresh air outside, Mu Jin also relaxed. He picked up a nearby watering can and began watering the trees.
The yard was lush with plants, creating a serene and peaceful environment.
Leng Xiao watched the little guy across from him tending to the flowers and plants. The gaze in his eyes was full of gentleness, and he felt that his own heart also calmed down.
