Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Everything made him lose control of himself.
After entering the bathroom, Lin Mo couldn't calm down for a long time.
The bathroom is attached to the master bedroom. It is not small, but it is only separated from the bedroom by a frosted glass door. Lin Mo stood in front of the sink, looking at herself in the mirror, feeling embarrassed. Lu Yanxiao must have noticed it too.
When we go out later, we will have to sleep in the same bed. It’s so embarrassing just thinking about it.
Or, why not wait until he falls asleep before going out? Then I can just lie down as if nothing happened, and the night will pass quickly in the blink of an eye.
She was thinking about all sorts of things during the whole bathing process, and she was deliberately delaying time. Before she knew it, she had been soaking in the bathtub for nearly an hour. The mist and heat made her drowsy.
"Dongdong-dongdong-dong"
Just as she was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on the door.
Someone knocked on the bathroom door while she was taking a shower. It was so scary that Lin Mo woke up with a start. Her heart was beating fast. She stood up quickly and wrapped herself in the bath towel.
"Lin Mo?" It was Lu Yanxiao's voice.
She still remembered the beast-like aggression in the man's eyes before he took a shower. At this moment, the action of knocking on the door was undoubtedly more frightening, and the key was that there was a bit of anxiety in his voice.
Lin Mo couldn't help but wrap the towel tightly around her and stood guard against the door. "What are you doing?"
The light outlined the tall figure of a man on the frosted glass. He didn't move closer. From a short distance, he asked, "Are you okay?"
"No, it's okay, what's wrong?"
There was silence outside the door for a few seconds, and then the man's voice sounded calmly: "I took a shower for nearly an hour, and I thought you fainted."
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was worried about her. She immediately let go of her hand and opened the door a crack. She tilted her body and only showed a pair of eyes through the crack: "Thank you, I take a long time to shower anyway, it's okay. You go to sleep first, I still need to put on a face mask and do some skin care."
The implication is that it will take a while for it to come out.
Lu Yanxiao didn't respond to her, nor did he leave. He frowned slightly and looked down at her, as if he was searching for something in her eyes.
"Any other questions?" Lin Mo asked.
As if his exploration had yielded results, the doubt in the man's eyes dissipated. He silently twitched the corners of his lips and said, "Can I borrow your study? I have some work to take care of."
"Okay, use it as you like." Lin Mo responded immediately.
"Thank you." Lu Yanxiao nodded and turned to leave when he suddenly seemed to remember something and added, "It should be very late. You should go to bed first."
Lin Mo nodded.
After closing the door, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Lu Yanxiao suddenly had work, and it would be "very late". As long as they didn't sleep in the same bed when both of them were awake, it didn't matter who went to bed first!
Lin Mo vaguely heard the sound of the bedroom door closing outside. She quickly finished washing up, buttoned up her pajamas, and then came out of the bathroom.
Lu Yanxiao was no longer in the room, but the two boxes of condoms were still lying on the bedside table, which was really eye-catching.
But since it was specially for her aunt to see, there was no reason to put it away. She simply ignored it, walked to the bed, took off her slippers and was about to get on it when her eyes fell on the pillow on the outside.
When she went to take a shower, Lu Yanxiao must have sat on the outside of the bed. There were strange wrinkles on the pillow and quilt, accompanied by a faint woody scent, making the atmosphere around them ambiguous and hazy.
She shook her head, trying to pull herself out of this trance, then climbed into the bed and lay down under the quilt, wrapping her back tightly. The woody scent on the quilt became more distinct, as if the owner of the scent was right next to her, very close to her.
However, she did not feel any discomfort. Instead, she gradually relaxed in this faint smell, and unknowingly her consciousness blurred and she entered Kuroda.

In the study, Lu Yanxiao stood in front of the bookshelf bored.
In fact, there was no temporary work to be dealt with. It was just an excuse he made up. If he didn't leave, the girl might lock herself in the bathroom for a long time.
He wanted to find a book to kill time. There were quite a few books on the bookshelf, but most of them were science and engineering books, literature materials and some popular science books. He repeatedly took out one or two books, looked at them a few times and put them back carefully. After searching for a long time, he finally found a relatively less hardcore novel called "Silent Confession". It seemed to have been read repeatedly and the pages were a little old.
But after just a few pages, the scene of being pinned down on the bed by the girl replayed in my mind.
His mind was restless, and the words in the novel seemed extremely boring. Soon, his eyelids began to droop. He changed his posture, trying to stay awake, but in the end, he fell asleep leaning back in the chair.
In his dream, he returned to a thunderstorm night when he was nine years old.
On a road in the far suburbs of northern Beijing, his father was driving, and he and his mother were sitting in the back seat. The car radio was reporting traffic conditions and weather, especially repeatedly emphasizing where the roads were flooded, asking drivers to avoid them.
The rainstorm showed no signs of abating in the short term. Everyone seemed to be afraid that if they were any later, the waterlogging would become even worse, so they drove very fast, and his father was no exception.
The accident happened under such circumstances.
With a loud bang, the world spun around and the car rolled several times before finally overturning on the side of the road.
He lost consciousness in the violent collision and didn't even know whether he was alive or dead. He only remembered that someone first rescued him from the overturned car, checked him, and picked him up.
The rain was so heavy that he couldn't see anything, and the thunder and lightning were so loud that he couldn't hear any human voices.
He vaguely felt himself being carried into another car. Lying in the cramped space, he thought slowly and laboriously, his thoughts hazy, wondering: How are his parents? Are they still alive?
At this moment, cold, helplessness and despair all gripped him, and his body trembled constantly.
Suddenly, a warm "thing" approached and touched the back of his hand as if tentatively. Perhaps it was too cold, and his body and mind became greedy for the short-lived warmth. He tried his best to chase the source of warmth, but his brain seemed unable to control his limbs, and his arms and hands could not move.
Just when he was about to give up, the source of warmth came over again and wrapped around his hands. The warmth spread, his body gradually recovered, and his brain finally started to work. It was a pair of small hands.
Then he heard the voice of a little girl.
She said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here with you."
Rumble——
The sky roared with thunder again, and through the dazzling light of lightning, he saw the girl's face, like a little angel descending from the sky, comforting him.
A wooden airplane model was hanging on the girl's backpack, swaying in his sight. The letters "LM" on the model were vague, but he could see them clearly.
"Lin Mo..."
He instinctively wanted to reach out and grab it, but his hand was empty. Driven by inertia, he rolled down from where he was lying, as if he had fallen into an abyss, and he could not reach the bottom no matter what. It was more despairing than death.
"Lin Mo!"
Lu Yanxiao woke up suddenly and looked around blankly.
He has been having this nightmare mixed with memories for more than ten years and is still not immune to it. Every time he wakes up, his heartbeat quickens and his breathing becomes rapid, with a thick layer of sweat covering his forehead.
After calming down for a long time, Lu Yanxiao looked at the time and it was already one o'clock in the morning.
He didn't turn on the light, but tiptoed back to the bedroom in the faint moonlight outside.
The bedroom curtains were drawn, the main ceiling light off, leaving only the small bedside lamp on, its warm yellow glow barely illuminating the area around the bed. The large, two-by-two-meter bed offered ample space, and two quilts were spread out in the shape of two cocoons.
Lin Mo was lying on the inner bed, facing the window, sleeping soundly and peacefully.
Lu Yanxiao gently lifted a corner of the quilt on the outside and lay down in it.
The movement was slight enough, but he was a tall adult male after all. The moment he sat down, the outer mattress sank a little, and the noise still disturbed the girl.
She was not disturbed and woke up, but just turned around and continued to sleep facing inward.
Lu Yanxiao's breathing seemed to have stopped.
The two pillows were only a short distance apart, and the two of them were facing each other, so close that they could see her thick eyelashes casting two shadows in her eye sockets and could hear her slight breathing.
This is the little angel he has been dreaming about for more than ten years!
How could I possibly sleep when I was so close to him?
He looked at it unscrupulously, and just by looking at it, he felt extremely happy.
Suddenly, he felt a sinking sensation at the waist. Lu Yanxiao froze in shock, realizing that Lin Mo had stretched her leg toward him, her knee resting squarely on his waist. After a brief pause, he stepped back, maintaining a measured distance.
But the girl was obviously unhappy, because when he pulled away, she wrinkled her nose, hummed a few times in anger, and directly put her legs on his waist. Then, her upper body also moved to the outside, not realizing that her head was about to slide under the pillow.
"Forest--"
Just as she was about to fall, Lu Yanxiao reached out, his palm against the girl's cheek, and caught her head. The girl, dazed and confused, seemed to have found support. She rubbed against his palm a few times, as if to make sure it was safe, and finally, she rested her head on his arm.
Obviously, he was very satisfied with this "new pillow". His brows relaxed and he slept even more soundly.
Lu Yanxiao, however, was already losing his composure. The girl's breath brushed against his neck, feeling soft and numb. Her soft calves scorched the skin around his waist through the fabric...
Everything made him lose control of himself.
I know I shouldn't, but I can't bear to let go.
His Adam's apple rolled as he suppressed the restlessness in his eyes and the burning sensation somewhere in his body.

The next day, the weather was fine.
The warm sunlight slanted onto the bed. Lin Mo stretched herself, rubbed her eyes, and gradually woke up. She had slept so comfortably and comfortably that night without any dreams that she thought she was still living alone and lifted the quilt as if no one was around.
But halfway through, he suddenly braked and felt a pair of eyes staring at him.
She opened her eyes suddenly and realized the situation she was in - Lu Yanxiao had already gotten up and changed his clothes. He was standing in front of the cloakroom door, fastening the strap of his watch while looking at her.
"Awake?" Lu Yanxiao had a hint of a smile on his lips.
This scene was truly ambiguous. She hummed and smiled, "Good morning."
“!”
Unexpectedly, because he had just woken up, his throat was not fully open yet, and the two words that came out of his mouth were sticky and greasy, just like a coquettish act, which made the already ambiguous atmosphere even more intense.
Lin Mo was suddenly extremely embarrassed. She sat up, coughed twice to clear her throat, and tried her best to cheer herself up.
Suddenly, she caught sight of a Band-Aid on Lu Yanxiao's neck and deliberately changed the subject: "What's wrong with your neck? Is it injured?"
"No."
"Then why the Band-Aid?"
Lu Yanxiao fastened his watch strap and closed the cloakroom door. When he turned around, his eyes swept across the bedside table and asked meaningfully, "What do you think?"
Lin Mo followed his gaze and saw the two boxes of condoms again. She immediately understood the purpose of the Band-Aids. It should be the legendary way to cover up some red marks.
I shouldn't have asked...
"Then, do I need to apply it?" She asked stubbornly, but then changed her mind and continued, "Forget it, I won't apply it. Just consider it as you are a gentleman and won't bite randomly."
laugh.
Lu Yanxiao was really amused by her. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a half-smile, "I'm not a gentleman in this kind of thing."
If he did it on purpose, one or two Band-Aids would definitely not be enough.
“…”
"Why are you saying this? It has nothing to do with me."
Lin Mo muttered to herself, feeling like she was shooting herself in the foot.
The girl's voice was so soft that Lu Yanxiao only caught the second half, but he guessed most of it from her shy yet unconvinced expression. He leaned closer and pointed at the Band-Aid on her neck: "This has something to do with you. You caused this, understand?"
Even if she was not convinced, she still had to cooperate. She nodded and said, "Yes."
