He caught her punch squarely.
Although the force wasn't great, Mu Xiaocheng thought it must have hurt a lot.
And the man remained completely unfazed.
Unmoved.
Suddenly, he released his grip on her chin and pulled her tightly into his arms.
"Let me go."
Mu Xiaocheng felt somewhat helpless.
What kind of situation is this?
He got angry at her for no reason? And...and bullied her?
I thought she had no temper.
Ji Huaishen held her tightly, causing her to press against him without leaving a single gap.
Such a movement seemed to be strangling her slender waist, almost making Mu Xiaocheng breathless.
They were struggling to breathe, let alone struggle.
The man's hot breath sprayed onto her neck and shoulders, just like at the charity gala. He buried his head in her neck, like a child who felt extremely insecure.
"Ji Huaishen, what exactly are you angry about?"
Mu Xiaocheng asked loudly.
Unlike before, they were no longer as cautious.
Ji Huaishen looked both terrifying and pitiful, and she didn't know what to do!
Honestly, I suddenly feel a bit lost.
After a long while, Ji Huaishen loosened his grip on her slightly, but still didn't let go.
He looked into her bright, watery eyes, his gaze both sinister and forlorn.
"You spent the whole afternoon with Lu Chi."
It's not a question, it's a statement.
A very affirmative statement.
Mu Xiaocheng frowned.
Yes, she did go to the hospital to see Lu Chi.
She and Lu Chi were friends, and it was perfectly normal for her to visit him after he was injured because of her.
So, he's been angry about this?
"you……"
He suddenly grasped one of her hands and brought it to his chest, his voice low and hoarse: "It hurts here."
Mu Xiaocheng stood there, stunned.
My hands felt burning hot.
She wanted to pull her hand back, but felt that she couldn't.
She sighed helplessly, looking at the person in front of her who was acting like a child throwing a tantrum. Why was this person so petty?
"Lu Chi was injured because of me, so it's only natural for me to visit him. At most, we're brothers and friends."
"Besides, Lu Chi doesn't like me anymore. You don't need to be upset about this."
After she finished speaking, word by word, Ji Huaishen's expression finally improved.
Those gloomy eyes gradually softened.
She was explaining to him.
So, at least, at least, there's still a tiny bit of a place for him in her heart, right?
Mu Xiaocheng saw that he didn't speak and still had that aloof look on his face.
It was as if they had compromised.
He lost his temper.
She said, even more helplessly, "Fine, I admit I was wrong, okay? Can you let me go now?"
Her hands were sore from his grip.
Ji Huaishen's eyes flickered, and he said calmly, "What's wrong with it?"
Mu Xiaocheng?
Are you getting too big for your britches?
She pushed him away without hesitation and stepped out of his embrace.
"That's enough, or I'll beat you up again."
It seems that the punch just now didn't hurt him enough, which is why he's so smug.
However, thinking about how he could have easily dodged that punch but had taken it anyway, Mu Xiaocheng felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Ji Huaishen's complexion improved considerably.
Looking at the awkward girl in front of him who seemed to want to coax him, the gloomy mood in his heart slowly dissipated.
His eyes were filled with tenderness as he looked at her delicate face, suppressing the fluttering and burning desire in his heart.
He said in a deep voice, "You sleep in the bed."
After saying that, he turned and went to the bathroom.
Mu Xiaocheng blinked. So Ji Huaishen is going to sleep on the sofa tonight? How gentlemanly!
