[Love and Producer] Passive strategy

Xu Mo turned off the faucet for washing dishes, and when he came to the living room, the hall bathed in golden sunlight had sunk into silence.

The scene projected by the projector on the big screen remained unchanged. The girl reclining on the leather couch leaning on a pillow fell asleep at some point, holding a hardcover edition of "The Little Prince" in her hand, apparently reading it before.

Xu Mo walked over with light steps, squatted down beside her slowly, carefully pulled out the book from between the girl's fingers, closed it and put it aside, then gently adjusted the angle of the pillow for her, and stretched her legs Slowly lay it flat, and then took the blanket to cover her.

After doing all this, he still felt unsatisfied, so he simply picked her up, sat on the edge of the sofa, let her rest on his lap, and thoughtfully untied the hair tie at the back of her head, so that she could fall asleep better.

Thus, the drowsy Li Youxue, half asleep and half awake, instinctively hugged the heat source that was close at hand, and then buried her head in the "pillow", sleeping more and more soundly.

Xu Mo's movement of turning the pages of the book paused slightly, and when he looked down, he saw that the girl had turned over, her little head was buried in his abdomen, and her arms were tightly hugging his waist.

The corners of his mouth curled up silently, and Xu Mo shifted his gaze to the pages of the book in his hand again, while his right hand was quietly supporting the girl's waist to prevent her from falling.

When Li Youxue woke up, she was surrounded by the familiar fragrance of Liangsi.She blinked, and studied the white cotton cloth decorated with wooden buttons for half a minute before she realized that it seemed to be the skirt of the white shirt on Xu Mo's body.

What surprised her even more was that her hands were still tightly hugging Xu Mo's waist.

There was a little embarrassment for a moment, she blinked her eyes and looked up, just in time to see Xu Mo... peeling an orange.His movements were slow and elegant, his white fingertips pinched the orange peel and tore it off bit by bit, and finally the whole orange flesh appeared in his palm—like a small orange lantern.

As if feeling her attention, Xu Mo had a smile on his lips, and he handed her the peeled orange in his hand, but his eyes were clearly not looking at her, but staring intently at him spread out on the arm of the sofa. The Little Prince.

There was an inexplicable sense of being an old couple, Li Youxue pursed her lips, quietly took the orange, tore off a piece and put it in her mouth, while asking him unwillingly, "How do you know I'm awake?"

"Because the color on your body suddenly brightened just now?" Xu Mo tilted his head and thought about it seriously before answering with a smile.

Li Youxue raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling that what he said just now was the truth, but she couldn't understand the meaning of this abstract sentence, so she had to give up the pursuit for the time being, casually grabbed the orange and stuffed it into her mouth again. valve.

"Is it delicious?" Xu Mo picked up the book to read with one hand, and unconsciously caressed the tip of her chin with the other hand, and asked softly.

—Oranges are indeed very sweet.This thought flashed through her mind, Li Youxue did not answer directly as a mischief, she suddenly tore a piece, and handed it to Xu Mo's mouth: "Taste it, and then tell me, is it delicious?"

Xu Mo grabbed the slice of orange obediently, chewed it a few times, lowered his eyes and smiled at her: "Do you want to hear an objective evaluation, or a subjective evaluation?"

"...Huh?" Li Youxue was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Xu Mo really knew how to play - there was such a routine, she had never seen it before.

"Objectively, it's delicious." Xu Mo said, rubbing his fingertips affectionately against her soft lips, and paused deliberately before continuing. "...Subjectively, it's delicious because you fed it."

The corners of Li Youxue's lips twitched slightly, and her fingers that were about to continue eating the orange petals were also slightly stiff: This person is full of routines every day, why don't you see him getting tired?

She was still muttering in her heart, but Xu Mo gently grabbed the empty hand, put it on her lips and kissed it lightly.

Startled by such an unexpected palm kiss, Li Youxue subconsciously raised her head to look at Xu Mo, just in time to meet the eyes he was looking down at.The dark purple pupils, with gentle shimmering inside, look delightful and moving.

"If this is a dream..." He cupped her hand against his cheek and rubbed it lightly, never leaving her eyes, murmured. "Then I'd rather never wake up."

……

By the time the sun had fully set, the two of them had already had dinner. The sound of "squeaking" water was endless, Xu Mo was standing by the sink washing the dishes, and Li Youxue was sitting behind him eating an apple in the dining room illuminated by the lights.

"You really don't need me to help you?" Li Youxue took another bite of the apple and asked hesitantly. "... I always feel that you may be very tired today."

"I'm not tired." Xu Mo looked back at her with a smile. "With you, I never feel tired."

"...Okay then." Feeling a little apologetic, Li Youxue nodded, stared at his back with the apron on for a few seconds, and suddenly thought, "You look a bit like a housewife now."

Xu Mo was silent for a while amidst the continuous sound of water, then turned his head helplessly, and stared at her reproachfully: "You, don't you think I'm your father?"

"Not really." Li Youxue corrected solemnly. "My dad's cooking is not as good as yours."

"You're the one who is naughty." Turning off the faucet, Xu Mo turned around angrily and amusedly, and scratched the tip of her nose lightly with his wet fingers.

Caught off guard by his actions, Li Youxue originally wanted to shrink back conditionedly, but Xu Mo's movements were always faster than hers. After lightly scraping, he suddenly opened his arms and hugged her into his arms.

This hug was caught off guard, and Li Youxue was stunned for two seconds. She hesitated and raised her hand to hug him back, but suddenly she heard him whisper, "What should I do? If this continues, I will become more and more greedy."

Li Youxue slightly curled up her fingers in astonishment, she didn't know how to respond, she could only follow her instinct and pat him on the back pretending to be calm: "What's the matter? Aren't we lovers? What do you have?" If you wish, just ask me directly."

"...Then," Xu Mo spoke slowly after a moment of silence. "You have to remember to reject me severely when you feel reluctant."

She never expected him to say that, Li Youxue opened her eyes wide, and heard his gentle voice continue to say: "...In this way, I won't be greedy for more things that I shouldn't. Weak It's the original sin, but being greedy is the one that should be punished the most."

At this moment, Li Youxue finally realized that what she and Xu Mo had been thinking about seemed to be the same problem.

……

When she walked out of the steaming bathroom wearing the plush bear pajamas she found at home, Li Youxue was still thinking: Did she just go crazy when she chose to accept the request to stay with Xu Mo all day?

With such hesitation, she gradually stopped unconsciously.

"I just took a shower, why are you standing here all this time?" Xu Mo's figure suddenly appeared in the corridor illuminated by light-colored lights.He walked up to her slowly and raised his hand to touch her head. "It's getting late, it's time to get ready for bed."

"You..." Li Youxue subconsciously opened her mouth to speak, but when she opened her mouth, she realized that she didn't know what to say, so she closed her mouth in embarrassment.

"I respect your choice." Xu Mo said, lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the forehead. "I said, I will never do anything that makes you unhappy."

Li Youxue blinked, and turned her head slightly to watch Xu Mo walk into the bathroom she had just walked out of. When she closed the door, it also blocked the bright yellow light from that door.

She thought for two seconds on the spot, then decisively raised her footsteps, and walked towards the master bedroom. In the darkness, she slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, and raised her hand to touch the pillow at the head of the bed.

--only one.

【...You, have you made up your mind? 】The voice of the system stammered in her ears.

"What are you worried about? Didn't Xu Mo promise it?" Li Youxue looked calm. "Besides, I'm not the vulgar type whose mental strategy can't achieve the physical body."

Explaining this, she threw off her slippers and jumped onto the bed, leaning her back on the pillow, pulled the quilt up to cover her legs, then turned on the desk lamp, and scanned the entire room with her eyes.

Just as she was curious about the closed wardrobe over there, footsteps suddenly came from the door.

Li Youxue turned her head unconsciously, and met Xu Mo's dark purple eyes full of smiles, which were looking at her: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

I always felt that this was a bit weird, so Li Youxue gave him a glare and said nothing.

"However, you may have to wait a little longer." Xu Mo said with interest, and smiled at her. "—I'll get another pillow."

Li Youxue nodded, seeing that he really turned around and went out, and soon came back with a pillow, laying it flat beside her.

The water vapor in the bath has not completely dissipated, Xu Mo's dark hair was slightly curled, as if blowing it seriously, but it was not completely dried, and a subtle fragrance was brought out with his movements.He was wearing an ordinary short-sleeved T-shirt with light-colored pajama pants, which looked clean and refreshing.

"Come on." Li Youxue looked at it, thinking of playing a prank.She bent her eyes and opened her arms, watching him with a smile full of hints.

The quilt full of sunshine was shaken off with the movement, Xu Mo pursed his lips and smiled, turned off the desk lamp with a "snap", and pulled her into his arms as soon as he raised his hand.

Li Youxue blinked slightly, and let him lift his chin slightly, and kissed her forehead, the corners of her eyes, her cheeks, and then her lips gently.

In the dark, she accepted everything obediently, hearing Xu Mo's breathing becoming hot and rapid in her ears.

Then, the moment the kiss fell on the side of his neck, his movements suddenly stopped as if someone had pressed the close button.

Li Youxue was not surprised, but just waited quietly, feeling his breath blowing gently against her chin.

Even though it was a comfortable and sweet night in winter, the whole room was full of oppressive atmosphere.

Li Youxue sighed slightly out of some sympathy.

Xu Mo seemed to be touched by a certain nerve by this soft sigh, tightened his arms holding her, and slowly lay down.

"It's time to sleep," he said softly. "--Good night."

"Good night." Li Youxue replied calmly, curled up on his chest obediently, and gradually relaxed her breathing in the darkness.

The breathing around him finally became even and calm, but Xu Mo's mood was still depressed and heavy.He clearly knew that in the plan that had been lingering in his mind and engraved into his bone marrow, there shouldn't be such a picture appearing now.

——Things like feelings will make people weak, timid, and cautious.And warmth will make people lose all sharpness and edges in numbness like a frog boiled in warm water.

… Ultimately, perhaps this loss is fatal.

The darkness at the head of the bed was suddenly illuminated.

Xu Mo turned his head to look expressionlessly - it was his cell phone, because the sound was set to mute, at this time the screen just lit up, with red and green buttons dancing on it, as if waiting for his choice.

Xu Mo did not make a sound, quietly reached out and re-locked the phone screen.

Everything returns to darkness.
