《(PART 1) TMLMIH: Master Mu's Pampered Wife》Chapter 35: Returning Late
Advertisement
When they were done with dinner and finally left the restaurant, the streetlights were gloriously shining outside. The wind was very strong and very cold while the night sky seemed to be a little depressing, and the air wafted with humidity.
It was already the beginning of spring. City Z was a city close to the south, so every year after spring began, there would always be a period of time when the weather was like this. This year, spring had arrived earlier than the past years. In particular, this season was not one that Xi Xiaye liked.
She looked up a little helplessly at the drizzle outside the car window. After a while, Xi Xiaye suddenly turned to look at the man who was driving with concentration. The car was very quiet, so quiet that they could almost hear the sound of them breathing.
"Play some music," Xi Xiaye suddenly said.
"The CDs are in the hidden compartment below," replied Mu Yuchen.
Xi Xiaye bent down, opened the hidden compartment, and casually picked a CD out. She reached out to turn on the player and put the CD in. Soon, some distant singing crooned.
The song was a very familiar one. It was a very, very old song, Zhang Guorong's "There Is Only You In My Heart".
Looking back slowly at the night when we belonged to each other.
You are still the red sunshine that keeps my heart warm.
If I am silly enough to shed my tears, please be considerate and forgive me,
After parting with you tomorrow morning, the road may be lonely and long,
...
Even though there were thousands of romantic encounters
On my way ahead,
Even though there were thousands of night stars
That are brighter than the moonlit tonight,
At least, let them be compared to the deep affection between us...

...
She was not sure why as she listened to this singing, Xi Xiaye vaguely felt an unnamed sorrow. As the song was about to end, she suddenly could not hold herself back and reached out to click on the repeat button.
"I can tell that you're a nostalgic person too. It's just a song, but you already relate?"
After a long while, Mu Yuchen's deep and perceptive voice was suddenly heard from the side. His tone sounded vaguely warm like the wind that blew past underneath the dim, yellow streetlights, appearing a little surreal.
"Isn't this CD yours?" Xi Xiaye asked softly.
Mu Yuchen smiled but did not respond. Instead, a dim light glowed in his silent and starry eyes.
"Don't you feel that this seems quite relatable to us?" Xi Xiaye suddenly looked at him.
Aa faint smile flashed across his honorable and handsome face. His deep and intoxicating singing was very warm and sentimental.
"Even though there were thousands of night stars that are brighter than the moonlit tonight,
at least let them be compared to the deep affection between us... Never would I appreciate them, because tonight you sing with me..."
His low singing voice entered her ears and she felt a slight warmth in her heart. She could not help but become intoxicated by his singing.
She would not have expected him to know this song and to even sing it so well.
She pursed her lips slightly and smiled as she turned to quietly look out of the window. The two of them said nothing, yet the car was floating with an indescribable warmth. On this rainy night, it felt a little magical.
She was not sure how long had passed when the car finally cruised through a traffic port and slowly stopped before an apartment. Then, the lights in the car were switched on.

Xi Xiaye quietly undid her safety belt and her body reached over to take the things from the back seat.
She was about to take her handphone and handbag when she noticed that the man had already casually picked up her phone.
He looked down at the lit-up screen and asked in a whisper, "What's your password?"
Xi Xiaye was stunned for a while, wondering about whether or not to take her phone away. She struggled for a while, then seeing the look he gave her, she could only softly spell it out.
Mu Yuchen very quickly unlocked the phone. His fingers elegantly clicked around, then there was the melodious sound of the phone's ringtone. After that, he locked the phone and tossed it into Xi Xiaye's handbag.
He leaned over to help Xi Xiaye open the car door as he asked, "What floor do you live on?"
"The seventh floor," Xi Xiaye answered.
Mu Yuchen nodded. When he saw the drizzle continued outside, he suddenly got down from the car.
Before Xi Xiaye could react, she unexpectedly heard footsteps from beside her. She picked up her things and was about to get down from the car when she realized that the falling rain before her was cut off.
"Go home and take a hot shower. Rest earlier. Remember to think about what I suggested. I'll be waiting for your answer." Mu Yuchen's deep voice had a determination that could not be resisted. He handed the umbrella in his hand to Xi Xiaye.
Xi Xiaye looked up at him without a word. In the end, she inhaled, nodded slightly and accepted the large, black umbrella in his hand. Her slim and frail body passed him.
She had just taken two steps when she suddenly thought of something. She abruptly stopped in her steps and turned around, her calm eyes falling onto the man that remained standing by the side of the car. "You go home earlier too. No matter what my answer is, because you asked, I, Xi Xiaye will always feel grateful towards you. Thank you for being there when I'm at my worst..."
In the end, she did not finish her sentence. Xi Xiaye just smiled at him before turning around to enter the apartment.
Her slim figure very quickly disappeared in the hazy drizzle.
Seeing the calm and elegant figure gradually vanish from his line of sight, Mu Yuchen tore his eyes away. The cold wind and rain continuously attacked him but he stayed silent for a long while before reaching into his pocket to take a box of cigarettes out. He casually pulled a stick out...
Lighting it, he took a whiff...
Amidst the faintly discernible mist that shifted, one could only hear him suddenly coughing lightly a few times. It was quite a while before he finally tossed his cigarette butt into the rubbish bin beside him. He subconsciously looked up at the apartment and saw the light on a certain floor suddenly being switched on. Then, he got into the car and started it.

The Brotherhood
Follow Jacob as he heads off to begin his academic career as a freshman at Kingsland University. Although KU is one of the country's most prestigious institutions for higher learning, a school where many of the world's elite send their sons and daughter, it was not why Jacob picked Kingsland. Like many of the young men attending KU for the first time, his sole desire, above all else, was to become a member of The Brotherhood. He's heard the many stories and rumors surrounding this mysterious and secretive organization. Jacob is eager to peel back the layers and discover The Brotherhood's secrets, to wield its power, but will he be able to handle the truth that is their reality? Can he step thru that door and never look back? Those are just some questions he will face on his journey of self-discovery. Will Jacob be strong enough to see it thru to the end? Are you? _______________________ ***Content Warning*** This story focuses on gay characters and places them in sexual situations. Although the sexual content is not the story’s main focus, it does appear throughout, especially in the earlier chapters. Feel free to give The Brotherhood a pass if it's not your cup of tea. But if you give it a chance, it might surprise you. The story is not what you expect. I first posted The Brotherhood online in 2001 and finished it in 2013. Over the years, it developed a loyal following that has been waiting for a sequel for many moons. That time has finally come. I want to release a more updated version of TBH before dropping the new chapters for the sequel. I hope you enjoy it!

Softest Lips | on hold
𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐧-𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐭𝐨 𝐈𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝-"I just kissed the softest lips that god has ever madeAnd I am so in love with the girl to whom these lips he gave." Orianne was a lover girl, whom some considered a hopeless romantic, but she wouldn't dare let the opinions of others knock her off her pivot. She was a young woman who knew what she wanted, and to her, there was nothing wrong with that. She desired the husband, children, dates, random gifts, trips, family outings, and so on.Some would say the reason she can't keep a man is because her standards are high. Which is a ridiculous take. Yes, her standards may be "high," but that's because her father set the tone. She knows what she wants and how she's supposed to be treated, and if you're not giving her that, then you have to go. Out of the few men she has dealt with, she lets them know beforehand what she wants, and it's not her fault that they choose to lead her on under the impression that they wanted the same thing. Another reason men tend to leave her alone is because she's a woman of status, a woman of her word, and a woman about her business. She handles her own and has her own which tends to bruise a man's ego. When asked what she brings to the table, she has a solid answer. She doesn't just bring herself or her body-that's the bonus-she brings communication, trust, comprehension, stability, submission, commitment, and so on. The main question of the matter is, how will Miss. Orianne react when a 19 year old wants to sweep her off her feet and give her everything she wants and more?𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐲: me
