Chapter 47. He coveted this little bird; now it's his.
"......"
Her eyes slowly widened, and she instinctively covered her mouth.
That usually familiar, indifferent voice was now somewhat unsteady, and his breathing was heavy with moisture.
The sound came intermittently through a door.
Although somewhat blurry, the passion within was impossible to conceal, surging forth like a tidal wave, making the surrounding air incredibly humid.
Holy crap...
Her cheeks were burning hot, and her heart was pounding like a drum.
......
That breathing is so sexy...
Help......
She felt all the blood rushing to her head, filling her entire brain, her ears ringing, and her mind completely blank.
She maintained her posture, carefully clinging to the edge of the door.
My adrenaline kept surging, and even the wounds on my body seemed to stop hurting. A secret sense of excitement kept rising in my heart.
Alright, alright, now she's definitely cemented her reputation as a female hooligan.
As she inwardly berated herself, her mind unconsciously began to conjure up images with each breath.
Beautiful, dimly lit, with indistinct figures...
The bathroom isn't big, and there's a glass door. Is it fogged up right now? Or are water droplets constantly sliding down it?
As you pass through the glass door, the indistinct figure becomes clearer. Which way is he standing inside? Is his hand on the wall?
What do his eyes look like now? How are they different from when we were kissing?
The images in her mind became clearer and more detailed, and the air felt unusually sticky.
She was lost in thought for a while before realizing that the people in the bathroom hadn't finished.
So long?
I just listened...it seems like it's already...
Mu Tingyu licked her lips, and her hand pressed against the wall slowly tightened.
Five minutes later, the sound gradually became more rapid.
She slowly opened her eyes, her heart beating faster and faster.
The sound of dripping water was irritating, and the water droplets slid down the wall, creating a hazy mist.
The dim yellow light shone through, as if it brought out all the moisture inside, which then seeped into the seven orifices and bombarded the top of the head.
She pressed herself tightly against the door, secretly hoping for something.
Suddenly, everything inside stopped abruptly.
—Then, a voice that made her blush and her heart race came.
"......."
She blushed instantly, bit her lip tightly, and before the sound of water stopped, she scrambled back to bed.
-
Xing Ze pushed open the bathroom door and came out, bringing with him some steam.
He stayed inside for a long time, his dark eyes unusually moist, water still dripping from his hair, dripping down his neck and into the collar of his bathrobe.
He looked up at the bed and was taken aback: "Not asleep yet?"
Mu Tingyu lay perfectly still, her hands peeking out and clutching the corner of the blanket, her big eyes gazing at him expectantly.
She kept her voice natural and hummed in response.
He paused as he walked towards the bed, then turned and went to the workbench: "You go to sleep first."
Are you going to work again?
"No," Xing Ze pulled out a chair, "I still have some things to finish."
The person on the bed was silent for a few seconds before speaking again: "Why aren't you drying your hair?"
"It dried very quickly."
He quickly replied, "I'd like to help you blow-dry your hair."
Xing Ze paused as he sat down, then leaned on the back of the chair and looked at her sideways.
"Aren't you sleepy? You're so tired today, go to bed early."
Mu Tingyu twitched on the bed for a moment, then sat up and leaned against the headboard: "Then you should sleep too."
Xing Ze coaxed her, "I'll get it done right away, you go to sleep first."
"Then I'll wait until you're done."
"......"
Xing Ze had no choice but to stop turning on the computer.
Actually, he didn't have anything "unfinished" at all; he just wanted to wait for her to fall asleep first.
She becomes a little more docile after she falls asleep.
Otherwise, it would turn out like this—
The moment he leaned against the headboard, the girl's soft, fragrant body naturally pressed against him, wrapping her arms around his and nuzzling him affectionately.
She was completely unsuspecting and had no idea what this posture would allow the person looking down to see.
The neckline of her pajamas was loose and droopy, and the way she was squeezing it open slightly revealed a large patch of fair skin.
What's worse, this oblivious little thing rubbed against his arm and pulled his collar down even further.
"......"
Xing Ze felt the fire within him, which had just been suppressed by the cold water, reignite like a spring breeze.
He looked away with a headache and pulled his arm away: "Okay, go to sleep."
The girl said softly, "I want to see your phone."
"......"
"I'll read it at home later."
Although that's what he said, he felt that Mu Tingyu would forget about it as soon as she got home.
I never expected that she would still remember it to this day.
She didn't care if he wanted to see it, but his chat history with "S University's All-Knowing Scholar" was still there, quietly lying in the list.
Mu Tingyu is from S University, so she must be very familiar with this avatar and name; she can recognize it at a glance.
"....."
Mu Tingyu raised an eyebrow: "Is it inconvenient?"
"......."
"Really inconvenient?" She narrowed her eyes. "Are you hiding a little vixen in your phone? Do you have someone else outside? You're not actually married and just lying to me that you're single, are you?"
The more they tried to put the hat on him, the more outrageous it became, and Xing Ze frowned.
What is all this?
He was furious, so he bent down and bit her lip.
"Is this how you see me? Hmm?"
Mu Tingyu was caught off guard by his deep voice and her legs went weak. Luckily, she was lying in bed.
"Then, let me see it."
She resisted the advances of the handsome man and reached out her hand.
Xing Ze stared at her for two seconds with a strange expression, but still took his phone from the bedside table and handed it to her.
Mu Tingyu took it and opened WeChat directly.
His WeChat interface was very clean, without a single red dot or any random pop-up messages from groups.
There is only one person pinned to the top.
I won't listen.
Mu Tingyu paused, then asked, "Why didn't you change my contact name?"
"That fits perfectly."
What do you mean? Does it mean she's disobedient? She's clearly quite obedient.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xing Ze asked, "Want to change?"
Mu Tingyu had main quests to complete and didn't have time to think about it, so she gave a perfunctory reply: "Then this one."
She found Shaoyue's profile picture almost without having to scroll down.
I just sent a message tonight.
She clicked on it, and around that evening, while she was still at the hospital, Xing Ze sent her a message: her phone was broken and she had sent it to be repaired; contact her if she needed anything.
Shaoyue replied with an "ok".
Besides that, there are the records from a few days ago mentioned above.
Shaoyue recommended a business card to him, which read: S University's All-Knowing Scholar.
Mu Tingyu looked up and asked in confusion, "Why do you need our campus wall's WeChat account?"
"..." Xing Ze looked away. "It's nothing."
Mu Tingyu looked at him suspiciously, then tapped the business card with her finger and entered the chat interface with "S University's All-Knowing Scholar".
She laughed after just one glance: "How come he's still posting driving school recruitment ads after all these years...?"
Xing Ze didn't speak, his breathing was heavy, he rested his cheek on the top of her head and watched her continue to roll her hair upwards.
"Hey, isn't this my photo?"
"This is Ah Yue and me. When was this taken? I didn't even know."
She chuckled and muttered to herself as she swiped her fingers upwards.
My gaze suddenly fell on a message in a green bubble.
—"Hello, when was that post with so many comments, where someone confessed their love for Mu Tingyu? I'd like to take a look."
"......"
The girl beside him fell silent. Xing Ze slowed his breathing and fixed his gaze on her curled eyelashes.
All I heard her say was slowly, "Why are you looking at that post on WeChat Moments?"
He paused for a moment, then said, "I'd like to know how many people are commenting below."
"There probably aren't many people, right?" she said in a low voice. "What's so interesting about this..."
Xing Ze rubbed his cheek against her hair: "Have a lot of people confessed their love to you on the school walls?"
Mu Tingyu thought for a moment and honestly hummed in agreement.
Xing Ze reached out from her arm and casually put his arm around her, placing his palm on her cheek and gently stroking it.
"What about in reality? Are there many like that?"
Mu Tingyu looked up at him and hummed in agreement.
"—Then why did you lie to me before and say that no one was pursuing you?"
Xing Ze's voice was deep as he pinched her soft cheek, "Little liar."
Mu Tingyu: "..."
Tsk, I forgot about that.
Her eyes crinkled into a smile, like a sly little fox, as she teased, "What's wrong? Is our Brother Xing jealous?"
Xing Ze's eyes were dark and deep. He looked at her for two seconds and then hummed in agreement.
"It's been so long, why are you still jealous?"
He countered, "No way?"
How could he not be jealous? When he saw all those words of affection directed at Mu Tingyu, he was absolutely consumed by jealousy.
That was her college years, which he had never been a part of.
He had never been a part of her lively, passionate, and youthful student days, which were like those of a little bird.
The thought that from the moment she entered society, countless boys would show their affection for her, confess their feelings to her, and try to get close to her made him unable to suppress his jealousy.
Although those boys are nothing now.
He wouldn't interfere until the little bird flew into his palm, nor would he lose his composure because of the provocation of someone else who also reached out to catch it.
But now she's in his hands.
This little bird is his now.
Therefore, any covetous glances should no longer be directed at her.
Xing Ze's eyes darkened, and he restrained his strength as he gently touched Mu Tingyu's cheek again and again.
The girl, oblivious to his comprehension, looked up and smiled at him, saying, "Sure, you can do whatever you want."
Hearing this, he thought to himself, "Anything is fine?"
If he could, he would like to lock the little bird up in a place where only he can see it.
Just like now, he held her tightly in his arms, not letting her leave this small space, making her belong to him alone.
Suppressing the thoughts surging within him, Xing Ze lowered his head and gently kissed her eyelids.
Will she be afraid when she hears these dark and despicable words?
I think so.
But—there's nothing we can do about it.
After all, she said she could accept all of herself.
She said it herself.
