The next day, Mu Lin indeed returned.
Dong Enyu saw her and naturally greeted her with a smile, but it quickly faded because…
“What did you say?” The woman stood by the doorframe of the bedroom.
After Mu Lin returned, she gave Dong Enyu a hug but then informed her that she had to move back to her original place.
Watching Mu Lin take clothes out of the closet and put them into a suitcase, Dong Enyu felt a mix of emotions, a sense of sadness as if her wife was going back to her parents’ home.
“Because of the overseas headquarters, my colleague has to go on a business trip for a while, and there’s no one to take care of her sheepdog, so she asked me to help.” Mu Lin hung the hanger back in the closet, busy folding the remaining towels.
Her personal belongings were gradually decreasing, making Dong Enyu inexplicably anxious.
Since Dong Enyu injured her hand, the two had been living together for about two months.
During this time, they got along very well, making Dong Enyu almost forget what it was like to live alone.
She enjoyed having someone to care for her and remind her of things, even though she knew it couldn’t last forever.
But she didn’t expect it to end so abruptly, leaving her unprepared…
“Why not bring the dog over too?” Seeing Mu Lin finish packing a suitcase and hurriedly take out a bag to pack cosmetics, Dong Enyu couldn’t help but step forward and grab Mu Lin’s hand.
“Bring the dog over, so we can still live together, and you won’t have to move these things back and forth.
Isn’t it troublesome?”
“It’s okay,” Mu Lin smiled and patted Dong Enyu’s arm, continuing to tidy up the items on the table.
“That kind of dog is hard to take care of, and its fur is long, and it’s quite large.
I’m afraid it might damage your furniture, Enyu.
Besides, there are hygiene issues.
I don’t want to cause you any trouble.”
Mu Lin’s thoughts were meticulous, and her voice was gentle, making it hard for Dong Enyu to argue.
Hearing Mu Lin’s reasoning, Dong Enyu decided to give up persuading her.
After all, she and Mu Lin had no real relationship, at most just very good friends.
Continuing to persuade would seem pretentious.
Dong Enyu sighed.
She originally wanted to help Mu Lin pack some things, but just as she was about to speak, she gave up.
The knot in her heart wouldn’t go away, so she simply went to the living room to watch TV, out of sight, out of mind.
Time passed by the minute, and Dong Enyu sat dazed on the sofa.
The movie’s sound was noisy, but she barely watched any of it.
Just after another explosion scene in the movie, Mu Lin finally carried all the luggage to the entrance.
In two months, Mu Lin had almost moved all her belongings here.
“When will you come back?” Dong Enyu played with the remote control, trying to ask casually.
She didn’t want to pressure Mu Lin, and she was afraid that once she left, she might never come back.
People are greedy, always wanting to keep those who are good to them, and Dong Enyu was no exception.
She liked Mu Lin, liked her so much that she couldn’t even imagine.
“I’m not sure either.
Once the overseas headquarters stabilizes, my colleague will come back to take the dog, and then I’ll have time to come over.” Mu Lin smiled, like a spring breeze, making Dong Enyu feel comfortable but also stirring her speech.
Mu Lin said she would come over, not come back to live…
“Alright, you’ll still stay tonight, right?” Dong Enyu turned off the TV.
“Then I should throw a farewell party.
Thanks to your care, my hand healed so quickly.” She patted her once-broken hand, playfully looking at Mu Lin, and asked what kind of feast she wanted.
Unexpectedly, Mu Lin said, “I like anything you make, Enyu.” The sweeter Mu Lin’s words, the heavier Dong Enyu’s heart felt.
Her mood was very conflicted, but this kind of conflict wasn’t hard to swallow, just a bit more sorrowful.
That evening, Dong Enyu and Mu Lin went to the nearby supermarket to buy ingredients for dinner.
Occasionally, when they got home early, they would shop together like this, but those daily trivialities would become the most beautiful memories.
They finally decided to have steak, so they bought beef and side dishes and went home to cook.
To create an atmosphere, Dong Enyu even lit candles and opened a bottle of red wine.
The dining table was set like a five-star restaurant.
Dong Enyu had never been so romantic for anyone, and Mu Lin was definitely the first.
Unfortunately, Dong Enyu wasn’t in the mood to joke during the farewell dinner.
She listened to Mu Lin talk about things happening at the company and stories from TV dramas, but Dong Enyu remained silent, occasionally responding but never initiating a conversation.
Whenever Mu Lin spoke, she would seriously watch the woman across from her, seeing her animated expressions and gentle smiles, wanting to imprint all of Mu Lin’s expressions in her heart, lest time make her forget.
Perhaps Dong Enyu was watching too intently, making Mu Lin a bit embarrassed… She took a sip of red wine, suddenly fell silent for a moment, and then softly asked, “Is there something strange on my face?”
Mu Lin touched her cheek after speaking, her small face particularly beautiful under the flickering candlelight.
Dong Enyu snapped back to reality when asked, laughing a few times, “I think you’re beautiful.”
Complimenting someone you like is only natural.
Dong Enyu never hesitated to affirm those who excelled.
She thought Mu Lin was beautiful, not just in appearance, but also a kind of inner gentleness that made her willing to be captivated.
Sometimes she thought that once her undercover life was over, she would confess everything to Mu Lin.
If Mu Lin was willing to be with her, it would be her good fortune.
If not, it didn’t matter; everything would be left to fate.
Although the undercover work was a bunch of nonsense, she had to admit that it was because of it that she met Mu Lin.
“Enyu, you’re beautiful too,” Mu Lin responded softly, her face as red as the tomatoes on the side dish.
“Sigh, once you leave, I’ll be missing someone to warm my bed,” Dong Enyu joked as she finished the last bite of steak, teasing Mu Lin.
Because when she came home, Mu Lin was usually already asleep, so she naturally described Mu Lin as a little bed warmer who wouldn’t get out of bed after warming it.
“It’s okay, it’s summer now, no need to warm the bed,” Mu Lin put down her knife and fork, seriously answering Dong Enyu.
Dong Enyu was just joking, but she didn’t expect Mu Lin to answer so earnestly, making her feel both amused and helpless.
“You’re right, but I’ll still be missing a pillow, won’t I?” She shook the wine glass in her hand, suddenly adding, “Or should I say, you’ll be missing a pillow? Without me by your side, will you have trouble sleeping?” Dong Enyu deliberately teased Mu Lin because every night, Mu Lin would hold her so tightly that she could hardly breathe.
So maybe the one who would have trouble sleeping was Mu Lin?
Mu Lin blushed and laughed, perhaps because Dong Enyu had hit the mark?
Since it was the last night at the villa, after both of them showered, Dong Enyu deliberately put on a sexy nightgown.
It was a new style she discovered while browsing online, made of thin silk fabric with a sheer transparency, just reaching her thighs, almost off the charts in allure.
She stood in front of the bathroom mirror, looking at her reflection, feeling a bit pathetic.
Sometimes she wondered if Mu Lin would still stay by her side if she didn’t use means to express her affection for her.
Reaching this point without any benefits was already a miracle.
Her relationship with Mu Lin was an unexpected development, but one that Dong Enyu couldn’t bear to let go.
Although she had said that if Mu Lin got tired of it, she would let go, when it came to the crucial moment, it was indeed painful.
Mu Lin’s departure this time left Dong Enyu feeling uneasy…
Women’s intuition is usually accurate, but she hoped it would fail this time.
When Dong Enyu came out of the bathroom, she saw Mu Lin standing by the window, talking on the phone.
Her silhouette appeared thin, her long hair blowing in the evening breeze, her profile so beautiful that Dong Enyu couldn’t look away.
But she also noticed that Mu Lin seemed to be nodding continuously, comforting the person on the other end of the line.
When she saw Dong Enyu come out, she quickly hung up the phone.
“What’s wrong?” She walked up to Mu Lin, naturally wrapping her arms around her waist.
“My colleague kept instructing me on how to take care of the sheepdog.
She seems very worried and said it’s very naughty, with many things to pay attention to.” Mu Lin put her phone back on the table, then hugged Dong Enyu back, instantly closing the distance between them, inhaling the scent of each other’s bath.
“Taking care of a puppy is as much work as taking care of a baby.
You still have to work.
Is that okay?” She worried that Mu Lin was overexerting herself, potentially harming her health.
After all, Mu Lin didn’t know how to refuse others.
If everyone saw her as easy to bully, Dong Enyu would be very distressed.
Mu Lin nodded obediently, leaning in for a kiss, but Dong Enyu dodged it.
At the same time, the person in her arms suddenly stepped back a few steps, and Dong Enyu leaned against the bedroom door, winking at Mu Lin.
Her honey-colored skin was very tight and smooth, wearing a sexy, semi-transparent black nightgown, making one’s blood boil.
Especially for the little lamb Mu Lin?
“Tonight is your last night staying over,” Dong Enyu said while lifting her skirt.
“Don’t you want to leave some memories?”
Her voice was steady and deep, like a natural spell entering the ears, compelling Mu Lin to move forward instinctively.
The memories of that night were very warm and beautiful.
Mu Lin was gentle, and Dong Enyu was very open.
She was eager to remember Mu Lin, so she kept teasing her all night, wanting to get more love and warmth from Mu Lin, and she succeeded.
Perhaps Mu Lin felt the same way, and the two of them tacitly sought each other, leaving a perfect ending to the night.
The next day, when Dong Enyu woke up, Mu Lin was no longer by her side, but she didn’t feel too lost.
Mu Lin had left, gone home, and maybe she wouldn’t come back.
Dong Enyu kept reminding herself of the harsh reality while also reminding herself that Mu Lin hadn’t said anything definitive.
She couldn’t indulge in feelings of gain and loss, as she still had her own mission to accomplish.
But when she went downstairs after washing up, she found a sumptuous breakfast on the kitchen table, all prepared by Mu Lin for her…
Truly a thoughtful child.
Dong Enyu sat down, facing a table full of food, but the seat across from her was empty, making her feel a bit sad.
Sipping her coffee, Dong Enyu found that Mu Lin had put a sugar cube in it, just like before.
After a while, she softly murmured to herself, “Thank you, Mu Lin.”
