"I thought the water would cool fast in winter, but I didn't expect it to be this hot." Mo Linyu now felt like his mouth was scorched numb.

"Of course it's hot. I just boiled this water and it's very hot. It's all my fault that I forgot to remind you." Xing Er lowered her head and said with red eyes.

"Xing Er, how can I blame you? I was too thirsty just now, that's why I was in such a hurry to drink it. If you had been so kind as to boil some water for me to drink, I wouldn't have had enough time to thank you. Mo Linyu hurriedly explained.

"Does my mouth still hurt?" Xing Er said with concern.

"It doesn't hurt much anymore. It's not that hot either." Mo Linyu said honestly.

"That's good. I'll go get you a cup and a new one. This time, you have to drink slowly. Don't be so anxious." Xing Er went into the house and brought out a cup of water. She poured a cup of water for Mo Linyu and placed it in front of him.

Mo Linyu sat there, drinking the water slowly. Xing Er sat in front of him, and was even very close to him. Ever since that night when a small accident happened, Mo Linyu felt somewhat awkward and uncomfortable when he saw him.

"Xing Er, don't you feel cold sitting outside? Why don't you go back to your room and rest? Mo Linyu didn't want to sit with Xing Er anymore, it was too awkward. Furthermore, he normally didn't like to stay in the room, so it was more comfortable sitting outside.

"Brother Mo, I want to sit outside and bask in the sunlight. It's pretty boring to stay in the house, so I can still chat with you while sitting here." Xing Er did it on purpose, it was not easy to get this chance, so she had to grab this opportunity to stay with Mo Linyu for a while longer.

"Mm, that's fine too." Although Mo Linyu felt a little awkward in his heart, on the surface, it was still the same as before.

"Brother Mo, did you get any injuries on your body that night?" I'm so sorry, I forgot to apologize to you. " Xing Er said this very naturally.

"No, even you don't know if you hurt yourself or not, I should apologize like you." Mo Linyu said somewhat embarrassedly.

"I'm fine." Xing Er said with a smile.

I will pick up the broken cup and throw it away, then Xing Er, you can sit here for a while.

Mo Linyu felt extremely uncomfortable all over, he wanted to find something to do, so he squatted down and picked up the cup that was just broken.

"Brother Mo, are you alright? Why were you so careless?" Xing Er quickly squatted down and wrapped Mo Linyu's injured hand with a handkerchief.

"Xing Er, I'm fine. It's just a small wound, there's no need to trouble yourself to wrap it up." Mo Linyu hurriedly took down the handkerchief that Xing Er had wrapped around herself and placed it on the table.

"But it's already bleeding. How can we not wrap it up?" Xing Er said worriedly.

"It's fine. It'll be fine after a while." Mo Linyu continued to pick up the shattered pieces, and threw them away.

After throwing the things inside, Mo Linyu did not continue sitting there, but went back into the house to look for Mo Dongxue.

Xing Er naturally did not have the cheek to follow her in, because she realized that Old Master Mo did not like to see her too, so she did not want to bring ridicule upon herself.

The store's business continued for a few days. Fortunately, the business got better and better every day. Gradually, there were quite a few customers, including some who had come back before.

In the blink of an eye, the new year had arrived. This year's new year was much better than the previous one, and the food was a lot more sumptuous.

Su Jinxuan originally wanted to come out and see Mo Xiaoyan, wanted to celebrate New Year with him, but she couldn't leave the palace, so she didn't come out.

The New Year celebration in Beijing was quite lively. It was even more festive than when he was at home.

At night, the whole family ate and drank together. Mo Linyu's tolerance for alcohol was not good, but he was still quite happy during the new year. After drinking a few more cups, he ended up drunk, while the others were fine, they were not as good as Mo Linyu.

Xing Er also drank a few cups of wine, she felt a little dizzy and stopped eating, and returned to her room to rest first.

"I seem to be drunk and I'm not feeling well. You guys take your time and eat. I'll go to my room to rest for a while." Mo Linyu said unclearly as he sat there.

"Okay, then go and rest for a while." Mo Dongxue, who was in Liu Yuemei's embrace, was currently feeding Mo Dongxue, but she could not get up and help Mo Linyu into her room.

Mo Linyu was almost unsteady walking now, it was very uncomfortable, he had not drunk much in the past, but he never thought that today would be the New Year, he was too happy for a moment, and got drunk.

Along the way, they finally arrived at the door of the room with shaky steps. All the doors of the room were the same, the room that Mo Linyu lived in was rather close to his.

Now that Mo Linyu was drunk again, he took too much notice of it and casually pushed the door open to enter. As it was night time and the room was dark, he directly fell asleep without even looking around.

Xing Er, who was sleeping inside, had also already fallen asleep, so she did not realize that Mo Linyu was currently sleeping beside him.

Xing Er was cold awake after sleeping for a while, because Mo Linyu had pulled the blanket over him.

When he woke up, he found that there was someone sleeping on the side. The first time he found out, he gave Xing Er a shock, and then carefully laid on the bed to take a look, it was actually Mo Linyu who was sleeping on the side. His entire body reeked of alcohol, and looked like he was drunk, so his sleep was pretty heavy.

With such a good opportunity, Xing Er felt that she could not waste it, and had to make good use of it. In order to stabilize her position in this family, she could only use this method.

Xing Er took off all of Mo Linyu's clothes, and then, all of her own clothes as well. She even pulled Mo Linyu's arm over and placed it on her body, looking very intimate.

Without needing to do anything else, he would pretend to be asleep and wait for others to discover it, or for Mo Linyu to wake up.

The people outside were enjoying their meal, it was the new year, they talked until very late, until Mo Dongxue fell asleep in Liu Yuemei's embrace. The weather was cold, and Liu Yuemei was afraid that she would freeze Mo Dongxue and get sick.

He thought about carrying Mo Dongxue back to his room first, then he would come out himself. It was also convenient for him to go back to his room to see how Mo Linyu was doing.

Liu Yuemei carried Mo Dongxue to his room, but discovered that Mo Linyu was not in his room. She thought that Mo Linyu had gotten up and went to the latrine, and used her hand to touch his bed, discovering that it was completely cold, no one had slept with him.

She did not know where Mo Linyu had gone to during the night. After putting Mo Dongxue down, Liu Yuemei carefully covered herself with the blanket and went out, wanting to find Mo Linyu. He was drunk after all, so Liu Yuemei was still worried.
