Xu Youning went upstairs to Mu Sijue’s room and found that he was in it with the door open.
“Uh, does he want me in the room?” She thought.
Xu Youning went in with hesitation and saw Mu Sijue reading a document on the bed.
Mu Sijue liked frowning when he read documents, as if he could pick holes in them at any time. Even the author who had perfectly done the job of writing the document would be terrified by his frowning face.
However, in Xu Youning’s eyes, if nothing else, Mu Sijue had a kind of admirable resilience and endurance.
He had just had his deep wound stitched and it might be aching then. However, he looked fine, just as the way he used to look like.
Xu Youning thought for a while about reminding Mu Sijue and said, “You should rest now.”
Mu Sijue went on with his document and said flatly, “I need it quiet.” He sounded like speaking to his ignorant young girlfriend with blame and tolerance.
“…”
Xu Youning was in no mood to figure out what Mu Sijue was thinking from his words, then she became quiet and walked toward the door.
She thought, “I’m not that fond of chatting with you! I wish it were so!”
Realizing Xu Youning’s movements, Mu Sijue looked up from his work and stared coldly at her back. “I didn’t ask you to leave, OK?”
Xu Youning felt angry and turned. She glared at Mu Sijue and said, “D*mn you! What on earth do you want me to do, to stay or to leave?”
Mu Sijue pointed to the sofa and said, “Just sit there and keep quiet.”
Xu Youning thought it would bore her to death, so she shook her head and said, “No way!”
Mu Sijue narrowed his eyes and said, “Xu Youning?”
Xu Youning felt panic as if the chill in the air was invading her body through her pores.
Subconsciously, she walked over to the sofa and sat down.
She couldn’t deny that Mu Sijue could still scare her even when he was injured.
Seeing that, Mu Sijue’s face beamed with satisfaction, then he closed the remote controlled door.
Then the thoughts of “a single man and a single woman locked in a room” thronged Xu Youning’s mind. And in her eyes, the injured Mu Sijue was absorbed in his work, as if he had taken her for a statue.
Xu Youning suddenly felt that she was thinking dirt…
The fact was that Mu Sijue didn’t take her for a statue because he had asked her for another document or a glass of water. Being bored, Xu Youning tried to keep herself busy, and he was pleased with her. In that way, the two stayed together in peace all the afternoon.
At suppertime, Aunt Zhou took them several well-balanced dishes comprised of soup, vegetables and meat, which were good for his recovery.
After the meal, Xu Youning raised her chin toward Mu Sijue and said, “Take off your clothes.”
Mu Sijue raised his eyebrows and said with seeming surprise, “You want me, right?”
“…” Xu Youning made a hollow laugh, then she approached Mu Sijue’s injury and said with a threatening gesture, “No more nonsense, or I’ll poke into it! Take off your clothes and let me check your wound. I can do nothing to an infected one!”
Mu Sijue opened his arms and said, “Do it yourself.” He looked vulnerable, but his eyes were shining with a kind of terrifying force.
Xu Youning had been used to that. With a sneer, she rolled up her sleeves, getting on the bed and sat down, straddling Mu Sijue’s legs to unbutton his shirt.
She thought that since Mu Sijue was injured, he could do nothing to her, so she wanted to seize the chance to tease him!
Mu Sijue narrowed his eyes and stared leisurely at Xu Youning, as if he didn’t care.
The calmer he looked, the more Xu Youning wanted to tease him. She gave him a smile while slowly unbuttoning his shirt with her beautiful lean fingers and intentionally touching his muscular chest with her soft fingertips from time to time.
A romantic and sexy atmosphere gradually filled up the room.
Mu Sijue’s eyes dimmed with desire and his breathing sped up a bit. Just then, the door was opened and Aunt Zhou said, “Did you enjoy your meal? I…”
The image of a woman straddling a man in the room was totally beyond Aunt Zhou’s expectation; seeing that, Aunt Zhou lost her tongue.
An awkward silence possessed the room.
Shocked for a long time, Aunt Zhou finally retrieved her voice. “I, I am leaving.” She looked back after two steps and sighed. “His wound doesn’t heal yet. If you… take care.”
With that, she disappeared from the room.
Xu Youning was shocked as well. She came to herself and cried out, “Aunt Zhou, we’re not…”
Before she could finish her words, she heard Mu Sijue chuckling. She looked at him and saw the smile on his face, then she burst into anger.
“What’s so funny?” She pushed Mu Sijue’s shoulder and tore off his shirt. Before she could check his wound, she heard him saying.
“You’re making noise. Aunt Zhou may mistake you.”
Xu Youning felt herself as if she was about to vomit blood with anger. “D*mn you!”
She looked closely at Mu Sijue’s wound, which was fine. Then she closed his shirt and said, “It’s OK. Take care when you bathe and don’t get your wound wet.”
“Do me a favor,” Mu Sijue suddenly said.
Xu Youning didn’t get his point and asked, “What?”
“I’m tired.” Mu Sijue looked natural as if it was a piece of cake. He said, “Bathe me.”
Xu Youning exploded with anger and shouted, “Mu Sijue! How dare you?…”
“After all that between us, why are you so reluctant?” Mu Sijue calmly interrupted Xu Youning and approached her. Then he gave her a smile and said, “Anyway, you must obey me.”
“…” Xu Youning felt more than angry but couldn’t say no. However, she thought that she could resist because Mu Sijue was injured.
At the same time, she also realized that she didn’t want to resist.
As time passed by, she would have less time to stay with Mu Sijue, and there was little time left for her to resist.
She gritted her teeth, pointing to the bathroom and said, “While I’m afraid of you, go in!”
She took out a pair of pajamas from the wardrobe for Mu Sijue and then went in the bathroom to run a bath for him.
She did a good job to ensure that the water was properly warm, and the bathtub was filled as high as Mu Sijue’s chest without exceeding that level.
Mu Sijue was quite satisfied with Xu Youning. He closed his eyes to enjoy her service and glanced at her with coldness to make her obedient when she tried to hurt him.
While Xu Youning was pretending that she was obedient. Looking at Mu Sijue’s annoying face, she thought she would have killed him at that moment if Kang Ruicheng had asked her to do that.
Finally, Xu Youning finished bathing Mu Sijue who was tall and strong, then she dressed him with the pajamas. After that, he said to her, “You can leave now.”
“…” “Damn! Burn the bridge after crossing it. Is that you?” She thought.
Xu Youning controlled her temper, considerately straightening Mu Sijue’s clothes and said, “OK! By the way, Mr. Mu, may I ask you a question?”
Mu Sijue motioned for Xu Youning to continue with her words.
Xu Youning looked Mu Sijue up and down and said, “When a woman like me bathed you, why didn’t you feel anything? Hey, Mr. Mu, you can’t have an erection after you got shot, right?”
As soon as she finished those annoying words, Xu Youning tried to run away, without expecting that Mu Sijue would have a swift response.
Mu Sijue grabbed Xu Youning’s arm and pulled her back. She almost fell into his arms but managed to keep her feet in order not to bump against his wound.
Mu Sijue didn’t care whether she would bump against his wound. He stared at her with his brooding eyes and said, “How do you want me to feel?”
He had lowered his voice, which sounded special and attractive. From his intense black eyes, Xu Youning could tell that a familiar desire was surging within his body.
Only then did Xu Youning realize that she was lifting a rock only to drop on her own feet. She made a hollow laugh and said, “I, I was just kidding. Could you let me go? …uh…”
Mu Sijue covered her lips instead of answering her.
It was a hot kiss, which to some extent showed his eagerness. Before long, he parted Xu Youning’s upper and bottom teeth with his tongue and immersed himself in it.
Even though he was injured, Xu Youning could hardly resist him.
To Mu Sijue, he had tried his best to hold back the desire that had been burning since that morning. However, he hadn’t expected that Xu Youning would tease him to inflame it.
Now that Xu Youning had added fuel to the fire, Mu Sijue couldn’t find any reason to restrain himself.
The kiss almost choked Xu Youning, who couldn’t help stepping backward to get rid of Mu Sijue and breathe fresh air.
While Mu Sijue didn’t give her a single chance. As she stepped backward, he proceeded and finally blocked her against the wall. Then he encircled her waist with his arms, gently touching her neck with his hot lips.
It reminded Xu Youning when Mu Sijue kissed her in the lift of the Marriott Club that morning. “If he goes on…” She thought.
“Oh, how could he go on? Mu Sijue is an injured man!”
Xu Youning struggled and pushed Mu Sijue away. She looked into his brooding eyes, which frightened her into staying silent and stunned.
She wondered whether she had seen it clear because she did see Mu Sijue’s desire from his eyes, and she saw his distress as well.
His distress was like that of her when she tried her best to stay with him. No matter how close they were to each other at that moment, she knew clearly that she had to leave him one day, while she was loath to waste even a single second.
It was like that of her when she knew there was little hope, while she was unwilling to give up.
