" Are you Mu Xiao Ning? "
Li Yun opened the gate and saw a man. He was holding many postcards and boxes. He was smiling towards Li Yun and brought out a paper to be signed.
" Yes, I am. Thank you. "
'The obssesion of that guy is really...'
Li Yun let the other servants carry the other packages. In the whole six months of marriage, He and Mu Zi Lei just spent one month together...the other months, he and him were separated by work and career.
At first, Li Yun thought that Mu Zi Lei will leave him once he get his desire to marry him but he was all wrong. The obssesion was beyond the limits of mankind!
Mu Zi Lei was clinging and cuddling him all the time....even after a week they returned from their out of the country trip. He was even showing a wanted to be spoiled expression whenever they go out for a date.
Yes, Mu Zi Lei dated him. When he heard it from the man himself, he was shocked.
Li Yun: OAO Fudge!! Marriage before getting to know each other? Oh My Ming Lan!!!!
On the real world...
Ming Lan: *achoo*
Li Yun and Mu Zi Lei were clearly enjoying each other's company. Mu Zi Lei was very eager to make him entirely his. Li Yun looked at the male lead with new perspective. He was now a good and kind man with a bit of obssesion.
Every morning, they'll greet each other. Every meal, they'll eat together. Every free time, they'll spent it together. The month was spent like that before Mu Zi Lei left for his duty.
They were like close friends...
And ever since that day, many packages came in bunches every week that was addressed to Li Yun.
Li Yun can't help but remember Mu Zi Lei's kind and composed face before leaving. He even said that all of his hardwork are just for him....
" Madam, breakfast is ready. "
" En. Steward Zhou, do you mind sharing a meal with me? "
Li Yun kindly invited the old man to eat with him but he shook his head and silently left.
Li Yun was a young man who was accustomed to eating alone. When he was still in real world, he ate alone but when this thing happened, he experienced eating with his comrades, eating in banquets, eating with...Ling Xiao, eating with Bai's servants and eating with his second husband, Mu Zi Lei. Eating simple and delicious meals with someone grew as his habit. Eating with someone makes food more delightful and more appetizing.
Li Yun ate his breakfast and prepared himself for his online education classes for his upcoming licensure exam. He can be a normal graduate student taking review classes but he just can't take the fact that many bodyguards accompany him every now and then so...
----[Host, the hidden mission is still active. Make Mu Zi Lei...the happiest man in the world!!!!~~]
" En, I know. "
Li Yun opened his laptop. The screen photo was a photo with two figures in it. It was a handsome man wearing an ancient armor and the other one...was a man wearing an army uniform...
Yes, it was Ling Xiao and Mu Zi Lei together. Ling Xiao's picture was the result made of Li Yun's vague memory that was created by an artist and Mu Zi Lei's picture came from the internet.^^
This screen photo can't be seen by Mu Zi Lei because when he saw it once, Li Yun needed to buy a new laptop soon like when he made an actor's photo into a screensaver, the obssesive and handsome man throw it at the trash and the laptop was never seen again...
Li Yun was done from his classes. Before shutting down the laptop, he caressed the part of photo with an ancient man on it. His eyes were showing grief and his face were contorted a little bit.
'Ling Xiao....Why did you get yourself killed?! You really are an idiot supporting character!!!! I really hate you...but I came to love the idiot, you know?!'
Li Yun touched his cheek and felt a little moisture from it. He knew that there was still lingering feelings of love that was still in his heart that he experienced from that man in the last world.
--------------
In a certain garden...
" Master, you came back!!! I'll inform Madam. "
Steward Zhou who was sweeping the garden on the same day happily inquired his master.
" No need...I'll suprise him with my appearance. "
Mu Zi Lei plucked roses and sunflowers. He was also holding a bunch of chocolates and stuff toys. In his black suit, he looked like a dignified man but with him carrying lots of things, he looked like a crazy suitor.
" Steward Zhou, prepare the garden. I and my wife will eat lunch together. "
" Yes, Master!"
The old man dropped the cleaning tool and happily strided toward the kitchen.
----------
[System, its been six months...I'm enjoying the idle and stress-free life in the "Cherry and Plum Blossoms" manhua...Can I claim my rewards?]
Li Yun happily and eagerly asked the system while he was enjoying a hot fudge sundae in the living room.
----[It can only be claimed at next world, Host.~~The Acting Skill Book is the only reward that can be claimed though.~~]
[No need. I'll claim it at next world. I can still use my elementary acting skills at the moment.]
Li Yun confidently said to the system while striding to the garden due to Steward Zhou's news about his newly planted sunflower sapling bearing flower buds. He walked towards the direction of his personally planted plant when suddenly...
" Fudge!!!! I can't see!!! Get your hands off my eyes!!! Steward Zhou? Servants?! Someone's abducting me!!! "
" Honey, your my wife and angel..why can't you recognized me? "
A warm and lingering breath was sent to his ear from behind. Li Yun stiffened and a shudder run in his spine. He know that this voice came from the husband of his that was treating him as a treasure.
" Remove your hands first. "
Li Yun turned around and saw a dashing and handsome man kneeling in front of him. He was holding a bouquet of roses and sunflowers on right hand and on the left, there was a big teddybear holding a small basket of chocolates. Mu Zi Lei was even showing his killer smile towards him.
Li Yun: ^///^ ;;; Fudge this!!! I'm weak to this, male lead...Why are you acting like this?!
" Honey, this is for you... "
Li Yun grabbed the big bear first and let Mu Zi Lei handle the rest. They sat together at the patio and engaged on a conversation.
" I thought you were still at the army! I thought you grew tired of my face because this was only your obssesion! And you... sending many material gifts for compensation! "
Li Yun sneered and he stopped and catched his breath due to the sudden outburst. He squeezed the teddybear to calm his nerves. He came to his senses and knew that something was wrong...on him.
Li Yun: =.= Why am I mad?
Mu Zi Lei: "...." Honey..my angel..Why are you acting like this?
" Honey, I'm very sorry if I left you behind. I just made the papers of my early retirement to be approved yesterday. Marrying you is indeed an obssesion but in time, I came to differentiate love and obssesion altogether. I even planned to stay with you and love you forever. "
Mu Zi Lei seriously said while his gaze wandered on his wife's left hand and focusing on his ring finger. He didn't saw their wedding ring and turned his gaze to the right hand but the one he saw was a silver inlaid diamond ring placed on it.
" H-Honey, why are you wearing another ring on your right ring finger? "
" Eh? "
Li Yun find it a wonder because Mu Zi Lei clearly saw the cursed ring on his right hand.
"You can see this? "
Li Yun waved his hand with the silver ring in front of Mu Zi Lei and the person grabbed his waving hand and gripped it.
" Honey, did this thing came from another man while I was away? "
Li Yun: *sweats*
" D-Darling, the wedding ring is too big for my finger so I made it into a pendant. Look, here it is... "
Li Yun removed the necklace he was wearing and presented it to Mu Zi Lei. He will not tell the real reason that he made it into a pendant was because he was too afraid to lost the expensive to the skies ring becuse of carelessness and He, Li Yun will not made that clumsy attribute of his to be shown.
" Honey, I realized while I'm away that I really love you. I can't bear to part with you and you...did you came to love me too? "
" D-Darling *cough* Zi Lei...I like you. You're a good friend, a good listener and a nice guy...]
Mu Zi Lei: "...." Is this the nice guy card?
" Your too good for me, Zi Lei. You helped my family, you helped Qing Yue open her eyes about the truth on her grievances and you even sacrifice your dream to avenge your parents because of me... "
Li Yun sincerely said while holding Mu Zi Lei's hand. He came to really like the guy but the wounds, bro...The fudging wounds from the past...
" Sacrifice? I didn't sacrifice my revenge, Ning- Er! Honey, my parents will understand that I gived up on that idea just to be with their daughter-in-law. I can't be with you for too long if I retained my mind for revenge. I can die in that process. I am a no different from a jobless man now but grandfather intends to passed the company to me. "
Li Yun felt his hand being caressed by Mu Zi Lei. He saw the determined look of the once army commander towards him. He can't help but feel overwhelmed.
" Can we manage it together, my wife? Can you be with me willingly this time? Can you give me a chance to prove myself to you? "
----[Host, say yes!!!!! Go for the gold!!!~~~]
Li Yun pondered a bit. He liked this man and giving him a chance to prove himself to him is not a bad idea, right? He will only let the time be the one... who will tell him if his choice is right or wrong.
" All right. Do your best, Mr. Mu Zi Lei !~ "
Mu Zi Lei laughed heartily. He ordered the servants to served their luch but before Li Yun grabbed his serving toward his mouth, he grabbed the spoon and fed him himself.
" I'm not a baby. Don't spoon fed me! "
" But your my wife. My wife should be love and be pampered. He deserved all the best."
The two figures enjoyed their lunch happily in the midst of yellow and red flowers as they look forward to their bright future.
