Chapter 48 - Tears (“Do you know some sort of magic?”) (2)
Xu WanZhi balled up her fist and said to him with utmost seriousness, “I would not have let the tissue fall!”
“Is that so?” asked Mu ZhenYu as he pulled into the narrow parking spot, stopped the car, released his seatbelt before turning to look at her. “How so? Do you know some sort of magic?”
Her heart almost skipped a beat and his question made her speechless.
Of course she knew magic except that… she couldn’t possibly tell him that.
Discouraged, she lowered her head and kept her mouth shut.
Returning to their apartment by the lake, she walked in front of him, removed her heels, and walked inside the house in her bare feet.
When she walked past the foyer, he called out to her from behind, “Xu WanZhi.”
Even though the conversation was less than pleasant in the car, but she still stopped in her way, turned around, looked at his cautiously and asked, “What is it?”
As though she was anticipating something.
There was an indescribable irritation inside of Mu ZhenYu. His looked turned colder and he said, “If you don’t want me to have any ideas, then don’t go out in dresses like that in the future.”
Her beautiful collar bones, pale skin, skinny waist, and her long and slender legs were exposed for all to see.
Xu WanZhi thought he would feel bad and say something to comfort her. She had expected it was such a request coming from him.
The tiny little bit of hope that had risen inside of her was drowned out immediately.
“You know that I can’t stand the hot weather.” Not even Xu WanZhi knew why she wasn’t so afraid of him all of a sudden and even wanted to get into an argument with him. “You’ve touched my forehead last time. You know that my body temperature is much higher than yours.”
He recalled the day when she had stood on her tiptoe, trying to touch her forehead to his. There was a little bit of stubbornness with a lot more cuteness.
Not to mention the warm little body and that scent of hers that lingered for a long time.
But, thinking about how close she was to that Shen guy earlier… his eyes were even colder.
He turned and looked away from her. “Your status is my lover for these six months. You need to behave yourself both publicly and privately during this time frame.”
Having said that, he quickly walked past the living room, went inside his own room, and slammed his door shut.
At the very same moment, a lighting slashed through the night sky and, with some rumbling noises, dull thunder sound came through the clouds.
Xu WanZhi covered up her ears reflexively and dashed inside of the bathroom. She showered and brushed her teeth in the fastest speed possible and, took the opportunity between two thunderous sound, adjusted the air-conditioning to 16 degree Celsius and crawled underneath the blanket.
Though the thick blanket meant for an air-conditioned room, the thunder sound was still scary. As soon as she closed her eyes, she recalled her day of transformation and the excruciating pain of being struck by lightning.
She kept her eyes shut tightly and even put on a pair of earplugs: Mu ZhenYu was a big jerk!
Right now, inside the bathroom of the master bedroom, cold water coursed through Mu ZhenYu’s defined muscle and he pushed the hair on his forehead to the back of his head.
His sight, blurred by the water, could see nothing but Xu WanZhi.
Right after they had walked inside the house, when he called out to her from behind and she had turned around, written all over her cute face was “c’mon, woo me. I am willing to make up with you.”
He read it clearly; so how was it that what had finally left his mouth was such awful words?
Outside the window, the rumbling of the thunder continued and the rain has yet to come.
Mu ZhenYu shut off the tap with force, grabbed a towel and dried himself casually before he walked over, topless, to her tightly-shut door and knocked on it gently.
He waited for a while but there was not a peep coming from inside.
He turned the lights off in the living room before he gently opened up her room door and walked over to her bed.
He could see the blanket piled up into a big bundle on top of the bed but she was nowhere to be seen.
This girl… was that afraid of the thunder? And, with her being so overheated all the time, would she pass out under the blanket?
Grabbing a corner of the blanket, he pulled open the blanket as gently as possible.
What he saw was the girl, curled up, her eyelashes fluttering, seemingly asleep.
Our of the corner of her eye closer to him was a drop of tears.
Mu ZhenYu let out a soft sigh and pulled off the blanket all the way. He adjusted the air-conditioning back to 22 degree before he carefully laid down next to her and pulled her into his arms.
