In a high-level martial arts game, a wife is given to you at the start.

Chapter 012 An Encounter

This was the first time Bai Muxi had called him "husband".

Lin Qiye's heart fluttered. Looking at her shy yet trying-to-maintain composure appearance, he found her extremely adorable.

Bai Muxi seemed to notice Lin Qiye's burning gaze and quickly changed the subject, pointing towards the kitchen: "The dishes... I've already cooked them. I saw that it was still early, so... so I practiced my kung fu for a while."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye understood.

This wife, who is aspiring to become a martial artist, is indeed unwilling to relax her training for even a moment.

Bai Muxi felt uncomfortable under Lin Qiye's gaze. Her cheeks flushed, her eyes darted around, and she said shyly, "Um... I'm all sweaty, I... I'll go take a shower first."

After saying that, she turned around as if fleeing and quickly walked towards the bathroom.

However, she had just stepped into the bathroom and hadn't even had time to close the door when she heard footsteps behind her.

The next second, Lin Qiye's figure also appeared at the bathroom door.

"Ah!" Bai Muxi exclaimed, instinctively trying to close the door, but Lin Qiye beat her to it and squeezed in.

"What...what are you doing!" Bai Muxi was both embarrassed and anxious.

Lin Qiye chuckled, hugged her from behind, and breathed hot air into her ear: "Wife, let's shower together, save water, and respond to the Empire's call."

"No... um..."

[The following is omitted...]

An hour later, the bathroom door finally opened.

Bai Muxi walked out with a flushed face, wearing clean cotton loungewear, her hair still slightly damp and exuding a fresh post-shower fragrance.

She lowered her head, not daring to look at Lin Qiye, and quickly walked to the dining table to sit down. She picked up the bowl and chopsticks and silently served Lin Qiye rice, but her ears were still so red they could bleed.

The events that just happened in the bathroom still make her blush and her heart race.

This man... he's getting worse and worse!

Lin Qiye, on the other hand, looked refreshed and sat down at the dining table with an air of nonchalance. He was in a great mood as he looked at Bai Muxi's shy appearance.

At the dinner table, Bai Muxi tried her best to calm herself down and asked in as calm a tone as possible, "How was your first day at work?"

Lin Qiye took a bite of rice and said with a smile, "It's alright. The work isn't difficult, just a bit tedious. The farm manager is quite nice, and the colleagues seem easy to get along with."

He briefly recounted his work and observations from the day.

Bai Muxi listened attentively, nodding occasionally and asking a question or two now and then.

Although she was devoted to martial arts, she was not entirely indifferent to her partner's work and life.

After dinner, Lin Qiye suggested, "Wife, let's go for a walk to digest our food."

Bai Muxi was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

walk?

Seeing the expectant look in Lin Qiye's eyes, Bai Muxi nodded as if possessed: "Okay."

The two changed into casual clothes and walked out of the house hand in hand.

Under the cover of night, Xiangyang Garden is brightly lit, and many residents are strolling and chatting in the community, creating a lively atmosphere.

Lin Qiye and Bai Muxi walked side by side without saying a word, but the atmosphere was not awkward at all. Instead, a kind of inexplicable warmth flowed between them.

Bai Muxi was tall; even in flat shoes, she was only half a head shorter than Lin Qiye.

She walked beside Lin Qiye, feeling the warmth from his palm, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart.

This peaceful and stable life didn't seem... as unbearable as she had imagined.

Just as the two were enjoying this rare moment of peace, a discordant voice suddenly rang out.

"Huh? Lin Qiye? What a coincidence!"

Lin Qiye looked in the direction of the sound and saw Wang Hao walking towards them with a slightly plump girl in his arms.

Wang Hao's gaze froze the moment he saw Bai Muxi beside Lin Qiye.

His eyes were wide open like saucers, his mouth slightly agape, as if he had seen a ghost.

During the day on the express line, he only saw Bai Muxi's profile picture. Although he was amazed by her beauty, he still held onto a sliver of hope that it was just a "photo fraud".

But now, the living Bai Muxi is standing right in front of him!

Even more moving than in the photos!

Her tall and well-proportioned figure still couldn't hide her curves even in simple casual wear.

Under the streetlights, her exquisitely beautiful face revealed fair, delicate skin with a healthy glow.

Especially her clear, cold phoenix eyes, now that she was with Lin Qiye, seemed to have become softer and less aloof, but even more charming.

She stood quietly beside Lin Qiye, her aura ethereal, like a fairy untouched by worldly concerns.

Wang Hao felt his breath catch in his throat.

She's like a fairy descended from heaven!
