He said, “Besides, it’s only called walking the dog when the dog is in front.”
“What is it called when I’m at the back, then?” Mu Xiaoxiao asked back, curious.
Yin Shaojie’s lips twitched. “I feel like I’m dragging a piece of luggage around.”
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Mama Yin had just come back from her sisters’ gathering. Taking off her coat in the living room, she happened to see the pair by the poolside.
“What are they doing?” Mama Yin looked puzzled.
The helper covered her mouth and laughed. “Madam, the Young Master and Miss are taking a stroll,” she replied.
Mama Yin could not help but laugh as well. “Can this be called taking a stroll?”
By the poolside.
Mu Xiaoxiao shouted, “Can you walk slower!”
Yin Shaojie was actually not walking very fast. It was she who was walking at the speed of a tortoise. However, he slowed down upon hearing her words.
Mu Xiaoxiao was pleased. She walked up and hugged his arm.
Yin Shaojie looked at Xiaoxiao, who was leaning her entire weight against him. He could not help but pinch her nose. “Aren’t you a little too lazy today?”
She was not this lazy usually.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. “I don’t know either. Maybe my laziness acupuncture point has been hit…”
After she said that, she even affected an air of seriousness and added, “Yeah, it must be so!”
Yin Shaojie felt helpless. However, he could not help but notice that the way she was leaning on him looked cute.
Mu Xiaoxiao asked, “How long are we going to stroll for?”
“Let’s walk around one more time. Who told you to eat so much earlier?” Most of the supper had gone into her stomach earlier.
“Isn’t that your fault? Who told you to ask the kitchen to cook so much delicious food?” As a glutton, how could she resist the temptation of good food in front of her?
“You’re blaming me?” Yin Shaojie laughed.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, “I’m blaming the chef! Who told him to cook so much good food?”
“You’re right. Should I fire him and hire a cook that can’t cook then?” Yin Shaojie played along and pa.s.sed the blame onto the chef as well.
“Uh… Don’t do that. It’s difficult to find a new cook.” Mu Xiaoxiao knew that he was only joking.
“It’s not difficult at all. I only have to ask and the butler will find someone.”
“Don’t, the chef is innocent.”
“You were the one who said he’s bad.”
“… Ahem.”
The pair bantered randomly and completed a second round unknowingly.
Mu Xiaoxiao was tired and squatted down.
“I don’t want to walk anymore. Haven’t we walked enough?”
Yin Shaojie also thought it enough. “Alright. Our stroll is over.”
He tugged at her, but she did not stand.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up at him with her dark bright eyes from her squat. In a coy tone, she said, “Carry me in. I don’t want to walk anymore.”
Yin Shaojie could not help but laugh. He did not reject her but squatted in front of her instead.
Mu Xiaoxiao grinned as she crawled up his back.
His back was still broad and comfortable.
Yin Shaojie carried her into the living room. To their surprise, Mama Yin was still in the living room sitting on the sofa. She smiled at them.
“Done with your stroll?” Mama Yin asked.
“Mama Yin, when did you come back?” Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little embarra.s.sed and patted Yin Shaojie’s back, trying to get him to let her down.
Yin Shaojie did not let her down and said to his mom, “Mom, Xiaoxiao’s tired. I’ll bring her up first.”
“Yeah, go ahead,” Mama Yin said, her smile becoming more suggestive as she saw how intimate they were.
