Chapter 41 It's Gu Yan! It really is him!
Fu Xiaoting pulled Yun Yang into his arms with surprising force.
Yun Yang instinctively tried to struggle, but when she felt his body trembling violently and uncontrollably, she stopped moving instantly.
Yes, the system said so.
Xiaoting is afraid of the dark.
Sigh, who doesn't have something they're afraid of?
When she was little, she was most afraid of the sound of someone slamming their hand on the table.
I had just been brought to the city by my parents when I was too young to hold chopsticks properly, and sometimes I would drop rice grains while eating.
If his father saw him, he would glare and slam his fist on the table.
The slap was about to land on him in the next second.
No matter how hard she cried, no one would say a word to comfort her.
Yun Yang's heart softened, and she raised her hand to gently pat his broad back again and again.
"Don't worry, it's alright, it's just a power outage."
Her voice was soft, with a soothing magic.
"Clatter".
As soon as he finished speaking, the crystal chandelier above his head lit up.
The whole world was instantly restored to light.
Yun Yang blinked, and the first thing that caught her eye was the man's well-defined, muscular chest.
The collar of her bathrobe had opened due to the fall, revealing a large expanse of fair and firm skin.
Although she had seen the beautiful outline of his pectoral and abdominal muscles during her last massage, she was still a little confused when she saw them now.
Hehe, I want to touch it...
Retreat, retreat, retreat! Retreat, retreat all these chaotic thoughts!
Give her back her clean mind.
Repeat this to yourself a hundred times every day: Xiaoting is the male lead!
When the person on top of her remained motionless, she belatedly realized that Fu Xiaoting's eyes were still tightly closed, and his long eyelashes, like two small brushes, were still trembling slightly.
Yun Yang spoke up to remind him, "Sir, the light is on."
Fu Xiaoting seemed to take half a century to react before slowly opening his eyes.
Those deep black eyes still held lingering fear as they stared directly into her gaze.
Their eyes met, and the air seemed to freeze.
The next second, Fu Xiaoting's gaze unconsciously drifted down and landed on her slightly parted lips.
In Yun Yang's mind, his whispered words, tinged with curiosity, instantly echoed.
Is it soft?
Yun Yang blinked twice, then suddenly realized what he meant. Her cheeks instantly turned bright red, and she pushed him away forcefully as if she had been electrocuted!
"gentlemen!"
She scrambled off the bed, her heart pounding wildly.
Fu Xiaoting blushed instantly and sat up abruptly from the bed.
Immediately afterwards, Yun Yang heard his own heartbreaking thoughts echoing in his mind.
Did she find out? My pants...
Yunyang originally intended to slip away.
Upon hearing this, her feet seemed to be nailed to the spot, and she involuntarily looked towards Fu Xiaoting's pants.
Goodness.
Wow, that's really something.
Yunyang's brain began to work at high speed.
Wait a minute, isn't he a top? A pure top, without any drugs...
No, no, no, I've read online that there are men who, to appease their families, get married and have children, but after the children are born, they sleep in separate rooms. From then on, their wives are like brothers, and the other men are their true loves...
It's clear that if someone can have children, they might actually be able to handle women...
[Oh my god! What is she looking at?! Is she looking at me... there?]
Fu Xiaoting's panicked thoughts struck Yun Yang like a thunderbolt.
Yun Yang finally snapped out of her wandering thoughts, feeling so embarrassed that she could dig a Barbie dream mansion out of her toes.
She quickly changed the subject, trying to salvage the already messy situation: "Sir, so you're afraid of the dark? How about I have someone install an emergency light in your room tomorrow?"
After saying that, she turned and left, moving so fast it looked like a dog was chasing her.
Behind her, Fu Xiaoting's innermost thoughts still lingered.
[Who's afraid of the dark! I have PTSD! I'm afraid of sudden power outages! It's all my unreliable parents' fault. They always left me home alone when I was little. Once, during a power outage, a thief even broke into our house...]
As Yunyang ran, she silently complained to herself.
Just a thief breaking in? This plot sounds a bit bland, unlike other novels where it's a childhood nightmare of a family massacre.
Yunyang ran all the way back to the third floor, paused at her room door, then turned around and continued downstairs.
No, I'm hungry.
Her mind is now filled with snail rice noodles, the "fragrance" of pickled bamboo shoots, the spiciness of chili oil, and the smooth texture of rice noodles.
It has to be the deluxe version with extra toppings! Crispy fried tofu skin rolls stuffed with tender beef and bouncy shrimp paste, one bite and the broth bursts in your mouth...
I've been watching Xiaoting eat all by herself all day, and now the more I think about it, the more I crave it; my mouth is already watering.
Yunyang tiptoed into the kitchen, tore open the packaging, and began cooking the noodles.
Just as the unique aroma of pickled bamboo shoots began to fill the air, she heard the system's voice again.
Fu Xiaoting was kidnapped by his enemies when he was a child and imprisoned in a dark basement for six months, so he is most afraid of the dark.
[Throw away all the keys to the storage room later, create an accident, and you two will have more time alone together.]
[Your face was tailor-made for him. The one who rescued him from the basement was Shen Yan, who looks almost exactly like you.]
When he sees your face, he'll definitely develop different feelings for you, and your mission will be half successful.
The system's voice grew closer, and Yun Yang's heart leaped into her throat.
The amount of information is enormous.
He was detained for six months?
Did Xiaoting lose her memory, or did she run too fast and not hear the whole thing?
And Shen Yan? That name sounds like it belongs to a man.
Shen Mingyue's suspiciousness is decreasing.
Because she doesn't look manly at all.
Her gaze suddenly fell on the key storage area on the kitchen wall.
The kitchen staff frequently need to go in and out of the pantry to get ingredients, so the key is prominently displayed there.
Without a second thought, Yun Yang strode over, quickly took the key to the storage room, and clenched it tightly in her hand.
The next second.
A tall figure appeared silently at the kitchen doorway.
It is Gu Yan.
It really is him.
