Chapter 281 Let Me Go

Su Nanzhi fell to the ground, not caring about anything else. She turned her head in panic and met Gu Xizhou's dark eyes.

The moment Gu Xizhou pushed the door open, his breathing stopped.

In the dim shower room, the misty water vapor casts a hazy veil over the scene before my eyes.

Su Nanzhi was like a jade sculpture soaked in moonlight. Her fair back shone with a pearly luster in the dim environment. Drops of water slid down her neck, disappeared between her embracing arms, and finally disappeared into a mysterious place.

She looked up at him, with her long hair disheveled and tears falling just right on her eyelashes. She looked just like the picture of an angel fallen into the mortal world that he had seen during his overseas mission.

It makes people want to save, but ultimately destroy...

"you……"

Gu Xizhou's Adam's apple rolled violently, and the muscles under his shirt instantly tensed. He could clearly feel the blood rushing through his veins, burning from his ears to his neck.

After seeing Su Nanzhi's panicked eyes, he finally reacted and immediately closed his eyes.

Su Nanzhi crossed her arms over her chest, shame and panic surging in her, leaving her fair cheeks flushed.

She tried to stand up, but the moment she stood up, she stepped on the slippery ground and fell backwards again.

"careful!"

Gu Xizhou has amazing hearing ability and even though he has his eyes closed, he reacts quickly.

When Su Nanzhi closed her eyes and waited for her to fall again, he had already taken a step forward and accurately caught her falling body.

The moment their skin touched, they both gasped.

Gu Xizhou closed his eyes tightly, but he could feel the slender waist under his palm more clearly than ever. The delicate touch made his knuckles stiff, as if any slight force would leave marks.

They had done something even more intimate last night...

"Let go..." Su Nanzhi's voice was as thin as a mosquito's.

Her cheek was pressed against Gu Xizhou's violently heaving chest, and the rough fabric of his shirt rubbed against her skin, which had become delicate after being nourished by the spiritual spring water for several months, making her feel a little uncomfortable all over.

And with every breath, you can smell the distinctive pine scent on Gu Xizhou's body.

A thin layer of sweat had already seeped out of Gu Xizhou's cheeks. A drop of sweat fell along his tense jaw and meandered down to her collarbone.

Su Nanzhi couldn't help but take a breath.

Gu Xizhou slightly tightened his arms around Su Nanzhi's waist, and his voice became hoarse.

"Can you... stand still?"

Even as he asked this, his arms tightened uncontrollably.

Su Nanzhi suddenly felt a strange heat against her leg, and her whole body stiffened.

The chaotic memories of last night came flooding back, those fragments blurred by alcohol now remarkably clear...

"Gu Xizhou!" She whispered in shame and anger, but her cry was abruptly stopped when he suddenly leaned over.

The man's hot breath sprayed on her ear, with a suppressed gasp: "Don't move... There are stones on the ground."

His lips almost brushed the tip of her red ear, and each word felt like it was being ground on sandpaper.

In the dim, semi-enclosed space, the sound of two uncontrolled heartbeats was deafening.

I don't know how long it took,

"Are you... ready?" Before Su Nanzhi finished speaking, she couldn't help but shrink her head into Gu Xizhou's arms.

Gu Xizhou tightened his grip on Su Nanzhi's waist slightly, took a deep breath and squeezed out a vague "hmm" from his throat.

"Put on some clothes first." Gu Xizhou handed the hanging clothes to Su Nanzhi, but did not let go of the hand holding her waist. "I'll carry you out."

Su Nanzhi took the clothes, and the next second she picked them up into the air and placed them on a small stool in the corner.

Small stool?

Su Nanzhi's face quickly turned red, because every time she came to take a bath, it was at night and she just washed her feet casually. She didn't notice that there was a small stool in the corner.

Then what was the matter with her curled up in the man's arms just now?

"You..." Su Nanzhi was wearing a nightgown, her almond-shaped eyes glaring at Gu Xizhou. Gu Xizhou still had his eyes tightly closed. The red mark on his collarbone that she had accidentally scratched last night was particularly glaring in the dim light. "Did you do that on purpose just now..."

Gu Xizhou was about to speak.

There were footsteps outside the shower room.

Then Uncle Liu's voice rang out, "Who's taking a shower inside?"

Just as Su Nanzhi was about to get down from the small stool, she fell into Gu Xizhou's arms.

"It's me."

Gu Xizhou's voice was calm as usual when he answered, but the look in his eyes when he stared at her was like a fire. Su Nanzhi felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to break free from his arms.

The next second, she was pulled back into Gu Xizhou's arms. Gu Xizhou put one hand through her popliteal fossa, held her in his arms and walked out of the shower room.

Before Su Nanzhi could object, the shower door was pushed open, and the sudden light made Su Nanzhi squint.

The enamel pot in Uncle Liu's hand fell to the ground with a bang.

The old man's wide eyes swept across the two people's messy clothes and Gu Xizhou's half-wet clothes.

Su Nanzhi buried her face in Gu Xizhou's chest, and heard Gu Xizhou's deliberately raised voice from above her head: "She sprained her ankle."

"Oh...oh!" Grandpa Liu took two steps back, his face flushed as he turned his head away. "Well...I'm moving out today. Come and get my bench. You guys can use it first..."

As he said that, Uncle Liu quickly returned to his room at a speed that was not in line with his age.

As we walked, we could still hear Mr. Liu sighing, "It's good to be young."

It was not until she felt Gu Xizhou holding her and returning to her room that Su Nanzhi raised her head from Gu Xizhou's arms.

Her face flushed red and she punched Gu Xizhou in the chest.

"Let me go."
