Chapter 230 What did you do?
When Mu Xiaoyu returned, Li Chenxu hadn't come back yet. In Mu Xiaoyu's memory, Li Chenxu hadn't come back this late in a long time. However, she knew that Li Chenxu was busy with work, so she didn't think much of it.
After tidying up a bit, I prepared to rush to finish my manuscript.
However, at that moment, Li Chenxu came up from the basement. The two bumped into each other at the top of the stairs and were both taken aback.
Judging from Li Chenxu's appearance, he had obviously been back for some time. He wasn't wearing the suit jacket he had worn when he left that morning; he was only wearing a light-colored shirt. However, there were some small bloodstains on the shirt, not many, but quite noticeable against the light color.
Her usually meticulously styled hair was now disheveled, and the hair on her forehead was soaked with sweat, making her look more frighteningly sinister than usual.
This was the first time Mu Xiaoyu had seen Li Chenxu like this, and for a moment her eyes seemed glued to him, not blinking.
Li Chenxu didn't expect Mu Xiaoyu to come back so early. He didn't want Mu Xiaoyu to see this side of him, but now that Mu Xiaoyu has seen it, there's no point in him being sentimental anymore.
Thinking of this, Li Chenxu looked directly at Mu Xiaoyu and slowly said, "Didn't you say you were going to come back later? Why are you back so early?"
When Mu Xiaoyu texted Li Chenxu, she didn't say she was having dinner with Liang Qiao; she only said she was with Song Yin and the others. So, it can't be said that she came back early because she didn't want to stay with Liang Qiao any longer.
So when she heard Li Chenxu's question, she was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I was a little tired, so I came back early... What... did you go there just now? I thought you weren't back yet..."
He had expected to see disgust or fear in Mu Xiaoyu's eyes, but he saw none of those.
For some reason, Li Chenxu subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
He reached out to take Mu Xiaoyu's hand, but then remembered what had just gotten on his hands and pulled it back.
He had done those things, and naturally he wouldn't regret them; he just didn't want Mu Xiaoyu to know about them.
However, before Li Chenxu could retract his hand, Mu Xiaoyu grabbed it.
Why did you take it back?
Mu Xiaoyu glared at Li Chenxu, then took his hand and said, "I actually know a little bit about what you did. You did it, so what? I know who you are... What do you take me for? A hothouse flower or something..."
Mu Xiaoyu kept rambling on and on, while glaring at Li Chenxu every now and then.
Li Chenxu snapped out of his daze and couldn't help but laugh when he saw Mu Xiaoyu's expression. He squeezed Mu Xiaoyu's hand back, this time with a bit more force than before.
"Go take a shower and change into clean clothes first. We can talk about other things after you're done."
Although Mu Xiaoyu wasn't a germaphobe, she still couldn't quite accept seeing Li Chenxu wearing a blood-stained shirt.
Li Chenxu nodded, and in front of Mu Xiaoyu, he took off his clothes and threw them into the trash can. Given Li Chenxu's mysophobia, he would never wear clothes stained with someone else's blood again.
Li Chenxu stayed in the bathroom for a long time, until Mu Xiaoyu was almost asleep, before he finally came out.
Perhaps because he had taken a shower, Li Chenxu looked much more lively than before, and even the fierce aura he had when he came out of the basement was gone.
Mu Xiaoyu walked up to Li Chenxu, hugged him, and then sniffed him to make sure there was no blood smell before saying, "That's good. Sit on the bed and I'll blow-dry your hair..."
Mu Xiaoyu's actions were so cute that if the timing hadn't been wrong, Li Chenxu would have almost taken Mu Xiaoyu right there and then.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't say anything while she was blow-drying Li Chenxu's hair, and there was no need to say anything now. Even if she wanted to say something through the sound of the hairdryer, Li Chenxu probably wouldn't be able to hear her clearly. Anyway, she could say and ask whatever she needed to say later, so there was no need to rush.
Men's hair is much stiffer than women's, and when Mu Xiaoyu's soft fingertips ran through Li Chenxu's stiff hair, she even felt a slight stinging sensation.
Then, remembering how Li Chenxu had instinctively dodged back then, she couldn't help but reach out and tap Li Chenxu on the head: "Why is your hair so stiff for no reason!"
Li Chenxu was initially confused by Mu Xiaoyu's tap, but upon hearing what she said next, he was left speechless, both amused and exasperated.
He turned his head slightly to look at Mu Xiaoyu and said helplessly, "Men's hair is all like this."
Mu Xiaoyu didn't say anything, but just snorted as if she was being stubborn.
Li Chenxu's hair wasn't long to begin with, so Mu Xiaoyu quickly dried it.
Mu Xiaoyu put down the hairdryer, rested her head on Li Chenxu's shoulder, and blew air into Li Chenxu's ear while muttering, "Tell me, what exactly did you do?"
Li Chenxu was stiff from Mu Xiaoyu's teasing, but Mu Xiaoyu, the culprit, had to bring up such a serious topic at this moment. Li Chenxu felt helpless and angry. If he wasn't afraid of hurting Mu Xiaoyu, he would have even wanted to pull down Mu Xiaoyu's pants and give the girl a good beating.
However, such a thought only flashed through his mind. If Mu Xiaoyu knew what he was thinking at this critical moment, he would definitely be finished.
Thinking of this, Li Chenxu coughed lightly, covering his mouth to cover his mouth, and said, "Didn't we get some clues from Mu Chao before? A few days ago, we had someone produce the portrait... While Assistant Lin and the others are still searching, I want to get some more useful information so we can find Mu Pengzheng's whereabouts as soon as possible..."
At this point, Li Chenxu paused for a moment, grasped Mu Xiaoyu's hand, and turned to look at her: "I've been having a feeling of unease lately."
This is the main reason why Li Chenxu is so anxious to find Mu Pengzheng's whereabouts. Almost half a month has passed since the last incident, and he is worried that Mu Pengzheng will strike again in the coming days.
In the past, Mu Xiaoyu was always very serious when talking about Mu Pengzheng, but this time the situation was reversed.
Mu Xiaoyu chuckled at Li Chenxu, leaned close to him, and pecked him on the lips, saying, "I know you're worried about me, but... after this incident, everyone's vigilance has increased a lot. Mu Pengzheng won't be able to succeed as easily as last time."
