"Nian Yao, you are so impatient!" Mu Qi Zong whispered in Lu Nian Yao's ear.

How dare you say this to a man?

In fact, Lu Nianyao herself is also very shy.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed at this moment, but today was a big improvement, and Mu Qi Zong did not reject her.

Lu Nianyao also began to become bolder.

She raised her head, and just when Lu Nianyao's lips were about to touch Mu Qizong's cheek, Mu Qizong suddenly pushed her away.

Lu Nianyao was stunned, with a hint of confusion and dissatisfaction in her eyes.

She stared at Mu Qi Zong, trying to find the answer from his eyes.

Mu Qi Zong looked at Lu Nian Yao, with a hint of apology and hesitation in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and said softly: "Nian Yao, I am a little confused now and cannot respond to your feelings for the time being."

Lu Nianyao's heart sank instantly.

She had done so much, but Mu Qi Zong was still rejecting her.

"Is it because of Lian'er that I feel upset? Is it because of her that you are reluctant to consummate our marriage?"

Lu Nianyao questioned directly.

She is not someone who can keep secrets. Her family has spoiled her since she was a child, so she cannot stand any grievance.

"It's not because of her!" Mu Qi Zong said.

Mu Qizong's tone was full of helplessness. He looked at Lu Nianyao's eyes full of doubt, took a deep breath, and slowly said: "Nianyao, Lian'er is just my cousin. The relationship between her and me is not what you think."

"The reason I didn't want to consummate the marriage with you is because I was afraid I couldn't help myself."

When Lu Nianyao heard this, the anger in her eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a hint of confusion.

"Can't help it, what do you mean?"

She approached Mu Qi Zong, gently held his hand, and softened her tone: "Qi Zong, tell me, what are you worried about? We can face it together and solve it together!"

Mu Qi Zong looked at Lu Nian Yao's sincere eyes, sighed softly, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"Nian Yao, do you know the cause of my father's death?" Mu Qi Zong's voice was low.

Lu Nianyao was stunned and shook her head: "I know, it seems that my uncle died of illness."

“I don’t know the specific reason.”

Mu Qizong sighed, "My father is a teacher. Actually, if he could, he didn't want to be a teacher. He wanted to pass the imperial examination and become an official, but he never passed the examination in his life. This became a pain in his heart. He watched the students he taught become successful while he could only continue to be a mediocre teacher."

"My father died because of this heart disease."

"Before he left, he kept repeating in my ear that I must make a name for myself."

"The imperial examination is coming up soon, Nian Yao. The reason why I have been reluctant to consummate my marriage with you is that I am afraid it will affect my own mind. After all, you are a beauty picked out of thousands. If we really do that, how can I concentrate on preparing for the imperial examination?"

Mu Qizon said this seriously.

Lu Nianyao was terrified when she heard this.

She never thought that this was the reason why Mu Qi Zong was reluctant to consummate his marriage with her.

Although this reason was ridiculous, Lu Nianyao believed it!

After all, she was indeed a great beauty picked out of thousands. Even a playboy like Fu Yuzhang could not resist her charm, so how could Mu Qizong not be conquered by her?

Now Lu Nianyao understood!

It turns out that Mu Qizon is the kind of person who, the more he likes someone, the more he resists them.

She held Mu Qi Zong's hand tightly, trying to comfort him: "Qi Zong, I understand. I won't bother you with this kind of thing again. You should prepare well for the exam. I will always be by your side, and we will face these difficulties together."

Mu Qi Zong looked at Lu Nian Yao, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes.

He nodded and continued, "Nian Yao, you are so nice!"

Lu Nianyao was delighted to hear this.

Mu Qizong let go of Lu Nianyao's hand and said, "Nianyao, go back and rest first!"

"In order to prepare well for the imperial examination, I will sleep in the study from tonight. After all, you don't know how much self-control I had to exert every night when I slept in the same bed with you."

After hearing what Mu Qizong said, Lu Nianyao felt a warm current in her heart. She knew that Mu Qizong did this to better prepare for the imperial examination, and she didn't want to be a burden to him.

And seeing Mu Qizon like this, Lu Nianyao felt a little distressed.

She said gently, "How can this be possible? There is no bed in the study. How can you sleep? You will definitely not sleep well. How can you study during the day?"

"How about this! You sleep on my bed tonight, or if that doesn't work, I can sleep on the floor. Tomorrow I'll have someone add a bed in your study, and you can sleep in the study then."

"Nian Yao, you really don't have to be like this." Mu Qi Zong said softly, "I can sleep by myself, you don't have to worry about me."

Lu Nianyao shook her head and said firmly: “Qi Zong, I don’t want you to be wronged because of me.”

"I know you've been accommodating me all this time, but I can't let you sacrifice your own comfort for me."

"Just follow my instructions and sleep in my bed tonight. I will have someone add an extra bed in your study tomorrow."

Mu Qi Zong looked at Lu Nian Yao's determined eyes, and finally nodded and agreed.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Mu Qi Zong said with a smile.

The two of them slept in each other's arms, and Lu Nianyao slept particularly soundly that night.

The anxiety of the past few days has been eliminated.

……

The next morning, Mu Qizon got up with dark circles under his eyes and went to the private school.

Lu Nianyao stayed in the room and slept.

Mu's mother got up in the morning to prepare breakfast for Mu Qizon. Seeing that he was in good spirits, she became nervous for a moment.

"Son, did you not sleep well last night?"

"Mother, the scientific examination is coming up soon. Lu Nianyao is a bit distracting. Find a chance to persuade her."

As soon as Mu Qizong said this, Mu's mother immediately understood why Mu Qizong had dark circles under his eyes.

This little bitch.

Can't you live without a man?

Her beloved son is preparing for the scientific examination. Does she know the seriousness of this matter?

At this time, he is still bothering Mu Qizon.

Mother Mu patted her chest and said to Mu Qizong, "Son, leave this matter to me, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of her for you and will never let her distract you."

Mu Qizon, who was still looking affectionate with Lu Nianyao yesterday, just nodded slightly when he heard what his mother said.
