Chapter 40: That Awkward Moment
Why did she suggest sleeping together? To be honest, even Mu Le herself didn’t know.
Her room wasn’t impossible to sleep in, so why did she say that? As she lay on the bed in Xiao Yuze’s room, she kept thinking about this question.
But no matter how long she thought, she couldn’t find an answer.
The air around her was filled with his scent, and as time passed, it made her heart beat faster and her face feel warm.
A little expectation, a little hesitation, a little fear…
All kinds of feelings mixed together, forming something she couldn’t clearly describe.
She wanted to get closer, but was also afraid. She wanted to hold on to it, but was also scared to do so…
At this moment, Mu Le suddenly felt like she might not be able to sleep at all tonight.
She had slept on this bed before, but clearly, her feelings now were completely different from back then.
Like the difference between heaven and earth.
The moment Xiao Yuze entered the room, before she even realized it, she had already wrapped herself tightly in the blanket.
Even though she acted calm on the outside, her heart was beating like crazy. Of course she wouldn’t admit that!
And after he turned off the lights, that feeling became even stronger.
In the quiet room, she could clearly hear her own heartbeat.
“Alright, let’s sleep early.”
When she felt the bed sink slightly, his slightly tired voice sounded clearly next to her. It made her body tremble a little. She swallowed and replied softly, “Mm.”
“Good night.”
“…G-good night.”
After saying good night, Xiao Yuze really didn’t speak again.
His breathing became steady, his posture relaxed, and the distance between them stayed just right.
After lying there blankly for more than ten minutes, Mu Le finally realized something and softly snorted, “Idiot.”
Then she pulled the blanket closer, turned her back to him, and closed her eyes. For some reason… she felt a little disappointed.
But what exactly was she expecting?
Did she really want the man beside her to do something?
This situation… was the right one, wasn’t it?
While her thoughts wandered, Mu Le, who thought she would take a long time to fall asleep, ended up drifting into sleep without even noticing.
At the same time, the man beside her slowly opened his eyes a little, then closed them again.
He turned toward her and carefully, without waking her, gently pulled her into his arms.
“Who are you calling an idiot, heh~”
After placing a very light kiss on her neck, the man finally closed his eyes with a satisfied expression.
………………………
Morning
When Mu Le opened her eyes, the sky outside was just beginning to brighten. Because of her slight low blood sugar, her mind still felt a bit foggy.
She subconsciously tried to get up, only to realize that someone was tightly holding her from behind.
Of course, that wasn’t the only shocking part. This kind of situation often appears in novels.
No matter how the main character sleeps, the next morning the girl always ends up in his arms. As a writer, Mu Le had written scenes like this so many times she was tired of them.
But…
Where exactly was this guy’s hand?!
One of Xiao Yuze’s hands had slipped under her pajama top, resting directly on the soft, sensitive area beneath.
She could even feel the slight pressure from his grip.
In an instant, Mu Le’s face turned as red as a cooked crab, and her eyes widened in shock.
First thing in the morning… did it have to be this intense?
And what made it even worse wasn’t just that…
Behind her, even through her pajamas, she could clearly feel something pressing against her.
A hot, solid presence, as if it carried enough heat to burn everything.
At the very least, her face was burning right now.
As someone who used to be a man, she of course knew what it was, and she could understand this kind of reaction.
But… but…
“Mm…!”
At that moment, maybe because he was dreaming, the hand that had been resting on her chest suddenly squeezed lightly.
His slightly rough palm brushed against her soft skin, and when it touched that sensitive point, it sent a strange, electric feeling through her body.
Mu Le’s eyes widened slightly. Caught off guard, her mind went blank for a moment.
So this is what it feels like when that place is touched? But when she accidentally touched it herself while bathing before, she never felt anything like this.
Wait, is this really the time to think about that?!
There’s a shameless guy behind her taking advantage of her right now!
Gritting her teeth, Mu Le tried to push his hand away, but the hand on her chest suddenly pressed harder.
This body was more sensitive than she expected, and her body stiffened.
At the same time, she could clearly feel that the thing behind her was getting bigger.
The stimulation from both front and back made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
And then… she did something very regrettable.
Because what was behind her felt too uncomfortable, she reached back and instinctively tried to push it aside.
The result was obvious. The moment she grabbed it, she heard a heavy breath behind her neck.
At the same time, a low, hoarse voice sounded,
“…What are you doing?”
“……”
Mu Le opened her mouth, startled by the sudden voice. For a moment, she didn’t know whether to let go or not.
At the same time, Xiao Yuze, now more awake, also realized the soft, delicate feeling in his hand.
Of course, even after realizing it, he didn’t let go.
After all… he was a young man full of energy.
Holding someone soft and warm in his arms, someone he liked, who could possibly stay calm?
At this point, it wasn’t even about self-control anymore. If he had no reaction at all, that would be the real problem.
Besides…
The girl in his arms was truly irresistible.
Feeling the smooth softness under his hand, the fire in his eyes grew even stronger.
“H-hey… don’t squeeze so hard, you idiot… hey!? Mm…”
Not only did the hand not stop, it became even bolder, making Mu Le’s eyes grow hazy.
She wanted to resist, but the strange sensations spreading through her body made her feel weak and numb.
So what looked like resistance became more like a soft, helpless movement.
“…If you keep moving like that, I can’t promise I won’t do something right now.”
Even without seeing his face, his restrained voice made it clear he was struggling to hold himself back.
For some reason… her anger toward him faded a little at that moment.
Honestly, it wasn’t easy for him either. Mu Le stopped struggling. She could understand how he felt.
But understanding was one thing…
“If you keep touching me like that, I’ll break your third leg!”
Her voice carried a clear tone of anger.
This jerk hadn’t stopped since earlier. And that thing below, did he take some kind of enhancement pill or what?!
Even without seeing herself, Mu Le knew her expression must be very complicated right now.
