Chapter 72: That Night
Sometimes, this world can be really cruel. Only at this moment did Xiao Yuze truly feel that kind of painful frustration.
His desire had already been fully stirred up, but there was no way to calm it down. The feeling was very hard to deal with.
Even after taking a shower, the heat inside him did not go away at all.
When he saw Mu Le on the bed, wrapped tightly in the blanket with not even her head showing, a new wave of restless feeling rose in his heart.
But it wasn’t really his fault. After all, how could something like this be so easily suppressed?
Because of what his mother had just done, Mu Le was so embarrassed that she wished she could dig a hole and hide in it. How could she even think about anything else?
Xiao Yuze felt helpless. There was nothing he could do at the moment.
Right now, he suddenly felt like lighting a cigarette. Maybe that was the only way to ease his frustration and loneliness.
But people often say a cigarette comes after everything is done, and nothing had even started yet!
Looking down at himself, unable to calm down, he gave a bitter smile.
Even someone as calm as Xiao Yuze could not help but feel very irritated now.
But in this situation, it would already be good enough if he could comfort Mu Le. Continuing what they started was clearly impossible.
He sat down on the edge of the bed. Even though he had just taken a shower and felt a bit cold, he didn’t care.
Looking at the lump under the blanket beside him, Xiao Yuze opened his mouth, but for a moment, he didn’t know what to say.
That made sense, what could he say? This kind of situation usually only happens in novels, movies, or anime. It was just too awkward.
Even though Xiao Yuze had a thick skin, it didn’t mean he couldn’t feel embarrassed.
Just as he was struggling with what to do, a small, fair hand suddenly reached out from under the blanket and gently pulled at his clothes.
Before he could speak, Mu Le’s voice came from under the blanket, sounding a bit muffled.
“Go… lock the door.”
Xiao Yuze: “…”
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He didn’t know what to say anymore.
But in the end, he still got up and locked the door.
Of course, whether it was locked or not didn’t really matter now. At most, it just made them feel a little less uneasy.
After all, knowing his mother, after seeing what just happened, even if she was curious, she would never come back to disturb them again.
Maybe she was even feeling guilty right now while talking to Xiao Shuheng.
After Xiao Yuze locked the door, Mu Le, who had been hiding under the blanket, finally came out.
It was hard to tell if it was from being under the blanket too long or from embarrassment, but her whole face was red in an unusual way.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yuze couldn’t help but laugh.
“What are you laughing at?! This kind of thing is super embarrassing, you know?!”
Mu Le gritted her teeth slightly. But when her eyes accidentally fell on the lower part of his body, her face turned even redder.
In the end, she gave a cold snort and turned her gaze away.
“Aze, you pervert!”
“Who do you think caused this?” Hearing that, a few black lines seemed to appear on Xiao Yuze’s forehead.
His self-control was usually very strong, but now his desire had already been fully stirred up, and calming it down was not easy at all.
Not to mention, right there on the bed was the person he had always longed for.
His already restless feelings became even harder to endure.
His words seemed to wake up the last bit of Mu Le’s “conscience.” She coughed awkwardly, then patted the spot beside her on the bed.
“Aren’t you cold standing out there?”
Of course he was cold.
If he could choose, Xiao Yuze would have already gotten into the blanket without hesitation.
But in this situation, he didn’t even know how long he could hold himself back. If he got into the blanket and held her soft, warm body, if he could still control himself, then he wouldn’t be a normal man.
Xiao Yuze didn’t want to force Mu Le to do anything she didn’t want just because of his own desire.
Emotional connection, whether physical or mental, should come from both sides feeling the same, not one side giving in just to satisfy the other.
As a man, he could not do that. No matter what, he would not force Mu Le, even if it made things difficult for himself.
So after a short silence, he waved his hand.
“It’s fine. I’ll just stand for a while. Lele, you… go to sleep first.”
Mu Le looked at him, as if thinking about something. In the end, her eyes moved down to his lower body again, and she curled her lips.
“Who are you trying to fool? It looks like it’s about to tear your pants.”
Xiao Yuze: “…”
Her words made him suddenly feel a strong urge to grab her and spank her.
Tear his pants? What did she think he was, some kind of monster?
“Anyway, get in quickly. I don’t want to take care of you if you catch a cold.”
Since Mu Le had said it so directly, Xiao Yuze still hesitated a little, but in the end, he made up his mind.
But before that, Mu Le glanced to the side again.
“Turn off the light too.”
“Why turn off the light?”
“Don’t you sleep with the lights off?”
“…”
Ignoring her slightly mocking look, Xiao Yuze reached out and turned off the light, then honestly got into the blanket.
Since it had already been warmed up inside, the comfortable heat made his slightly cold body relax, and he couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.
But before he could think further, a much warmer body moved into his arms. Because the lights were off, he couldn’t see Mu Le’s expression in the darkness.
“Lele?”
For a moment, Xiao Yuze’s body went stiff.
Mu Le didn’t say anything. She simply moved closer into his arms, adjusting herself until she found a comfortable position. Then she finally settled down and mumbled softly:
“Sleep.”
How could anyone sleep like this…? Her words made Xiao Yuze feel both helpless and amused.
But Mu Le ignored him. As if unaffected by everything that had happened before, her breathing slowly became steady, as if she was really preparing to sleep.
In the darkness, the man kept his eyes wide open, completely awake, without the slightest bit of sleepiness.
In a situation like this, being able to fall asleep would be the strange thing.
