Chapter 42: Unable to Control

Liu Fuying stretched out her little hand and put it into his arms.

People who practice martial arts have extremely tight waists and abdomens, and the obvious abdominal muscles made her palms hot.

down.

Look inside.

At this moment, Pei Zhouwu stepped back as if awakened from a dream and grabbed her messy hand.

As he stepped back, the bellyband in front of Liu Fuying fell completely into the water.

This time, Pei Zhouwu did not dodge.

Perhaps the extreme shock clouded his mind and made him forget to react.

Liu Fuying's bare skin, covered with water droplets, exposed under the moonlight...

"You..." Liu Fuying took a step closer to him, looked at him timidly and asked, "You don't want me?"

Pei Zhouwu fluttered his eyelashes and held her in his arms with rapid breathing.

"No." He took a deep breath.

There is no desire in this hug, only compassion from the heart.

"Aying, you can't." He hugged her very gently, and his voice was also very soft and full of regret and apology. "You can't do this kind of thing. We are not husband and wife. What I did just now... was already very inappropriate. What I did was disrespectful to you and looked down on you. I'm sorry, Aying, I'm sorry."

He regretted that he had lost his mind and almost lost control just now.

Liu Fuying was full of helplessness.

So this is the trouble with being a gentleman?

He...how could he bear it?

His body's reaction was clearly very obvious!

Pei Zhouwu picked up the bellyband floating on the water, looked up and put it back on Liu Fuying without looking away, carefully tied the upper and lower straps, then bent down and picked her up sideways.

A pair of white legs appeared under the water. He did not try to avoid looking at them, but he did not stare at them either.

But compared to what she just did..., this is nothing.

When they reached the shore, he gently put her down, and after she stood firmly, he turned around to get her clean clothes and handed them to her.

Liu Fuying felt annoyed and took the clothes without saying a word.

She had promised Madam Shen that she would go back in a month, and she didn't have that much time to waste with him.

After taking off all her wet clothes and changing into clean ones, she walked forward.

She just said she sprained her ankle and it hurt, so she would definitely pretend this time. However, the way she would rather limp and endure the pain made Pei Zhouwu think she was angry.

He was worried that she would think that he disliked her and that was why she didn't want her.

"Hina."

Pei Zhouwu caught up with her, but she waved away his hand that was trying to support him.

"I'm sorry, I actually..."

"It's okay, you don't have to explain." Liu Fuying didn't even turn his head.

Pei Zhouwu was even more certain that she was angry, and reached out again to take the wet clothes she was holding, but she still avoided him.

"I'll take a rest and wash clothes when my foot feels better. Don't worry about it."

She walked so fast that Pei Zhouwu was afraid she would fall.

A few people walked up quickly, leaned over and picked her up.

"None of your business, since you..."

"I knew you must have misunderstood again." Pei Zhouwu hugged her tightly, no matter how hard she struggled, "You are an innocent girl, if you are confused and mess around with me in this desolate mountain... what does that mean? What do I think of you? What have I become?"

"Okay, I am frivolous and I belittle myself."

"That's not what I meant." Pei Zhouwu paused.

Looking at the pair of tearful eyes in his arms, he sighed and softened his tone.

"A Ying, you didn't do it on purpose. It was the snake that scared you, so why do you say that about yourself? If I was wrong, it was my fault. I didn't control myself. It's my fault."

“…”

Liu Fuying fell silent.

He really is... a man of good character.

If one day he finds out that all this was planned by her, I wonder what he will do.

After entering the house, Pei Zhouwu put her down and sat her on the bed.

Then he took the clothes from her hand.

"You take a rest, I'll help you wash clothes. I'll stay in the front room tonight." When he took the washbasin and left, he closed the door for her.

What he meant was that after he finished washing the clothes, he would go directly to the front room and never come into this room again.

Liu Fuying sat quietly for a long time, worrying about his next step.

Perhaps there is no other way. Since he cannot break the shackles of ethics, he can only get married.

Get married as soon as possible and do things as soon as possible.

…

By the pond.

Pei Zhouwu stood in front of the water, and the reflection inside showed his face with a complicated expression.

What happened just now kept repeating in his mind every moment and every breath. The more he reminded himself not to think about it, the deeper the thought became.

Did he really not want her?

How could I not want it?

It's just that this is so unreasonable and unfair to her. He can't bear to hurt the person who is so dear to his heart.

After thinking about it, I was about to squat down...

With a casual glance, I saw a snake crawling on the sandy beach.

He began to wonder what was going on today.

Even if there were snakes in the past, there wouldn't be two of them suddenly appearing like this. If they went into the bedroom, she would be frightened again.

Although he was confused, he did not think too deeply about it.

He just thought it was a coincidence. Perhaps this situation had happened before, but snakes usually stayed in the house or sat on the stone bench in the yard. Snakes were afraid of people and dared not go there, so he had never discovered it.

He picked up a stone and threw it at the snake, neither too hard nor too lightly, which just scared it away.

The weather is getting hotter, and there are more and more snakes and insects coming out at night. We have to be more careful in the future and never hurt the fireflies.

…

It was late at night and Liu Fuying was still lying in bed unable to sleep.

Since I couldn't sleep at all, I just got out of bed.

She quietly went out of the door and sneaked towards the front room. This was the first time she went towards the front room.

After sticking his head out and looking for a long time, he saw several tents standing outside the fence in the distance, and vaguely saw the silhouette of a night watchman. Fortunately, the door of the front room was not facing the fence, and the side door was covered by bamboo trees. Liu Fuying opened the door and slipped in.

There was no light in the room, but the moonlight was bright enough to shine through the window so that one could just make out a rough idea.

The main house is divided into two spaces, left and right, and the kitchen is indeed on the left.

The space on the right looks like a small study. Although it is simple, there are pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the table.

Further in, there is a bamboo couch that is only wide enough for half a person to lie down sideways.

Pei Zhouwu was sleeping on it.

It was really difficult for him to even turn over on such a small bamboo couch.

Liu Fuying tiptoed over and squatted in front of the couch. It was dark inside and he could not see Pei Zhouwu's face clearly. He could only hear the sound of his even breathing.

She squatted with her knees hugged for a long time, wondering when she would finally get what she wanted.

"Haven't you seen enough?" Pei Zhouwu suddenly spoke.

Although Liu Fuying was also frightened, he had already guessed that he was not really asleep.

How could a gentleman like him sleep soundly with a clear conscience after what happened between him and her? Even she, a person with evil intentions, couldn't sleep.

"It's so dark in the room, I can't see at all."

Pei Zhouwu still maintained his side-lying position with his eyes closed.

"There are so many guards outside, aren't you afraid?" he asked threateningly.

Liu Fuying did not reply, but only answered a question that was not related to the question, and then said: "I have heard some rumors about you before, saying that you are not interested in women. There was a woman who took off her clothes and lay on your bed, but you were not moved. You..."

"You said that's not good."

"Is this true?"
