Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Mu Tongrui was loath to carry out the mission. However, she gave in to Fu Lingye's insistence.

The store had quite a selection of men's underwear. Despite having chosen two black ones, Mu Tongrui changed her mind and got two floral ones instead.

Since Fu Lingye's usual colors are black, white, and all the shades in between, these patterns would really pop on him.

Mu Tongrui chuckled mischievously, clearly entertained by the picture in her head.

She returned to their hotel room and casually tossed them at him. “I got what you asked for.”

Fu Lingye noted their bold patterns along with the bright colors.

He pulled her in by her waist and interrogated, “Is this a prank?”

Mu Tongrui took a step back, “I don't know what you usually wear, so I just picked whatever.”

“You didn't look when you took off my underwear last night?”

Mu Tongrui was at a loss for words.

Her cheeks went bright red.

Fu Lingye opened the packaging of the disposable underwear and placed it in her hand. “You should put it on for me since you bought it.”

That illogical justification caught Mu Tongrui off guard.

She refused, “You wish! You had no problem taking off clothes but you can't put them back on?

“But I'm hurt.”

“Your hands are fine!”

He only hurt his back. How does that affect this?

Fu Lingye gave her a serious yet sly look before dropping his hand, “Oops, I broke it.”
