The Young master's fake bride and her lucky system-Chapter 241: Staying in to hug.
His brother was already gone thankfully but the quick beating of his own heart was not. He turned his whole body back around and shooed Alix back into the bedroom as if he was chasing a toddler from dangerous high ground.
"Inside, back -up." he gestured with his hands, sending her backwards urgently as he closed the curtains manually.
Alix hopped backwards carefully but her head continued moving from side to side curiously. What had he seen that he didn't want her seeing?
"What is it?"
"My annoying older brother moved into the building next door. They are on the level directly opposite ours." he answered unhappily.
Alix lit up and tried to go around him, forgetting that she was inappropriately dressed. All she heard from his answer was that Xiaobo had now moved to Blossom courts finally.
"Is it Xiaobo out there?" she asked.
He grabbed her by the end of the towel, so close to her buttocks that his hand brushed past the flesh unintentionally. He suddenly went still, and his eyes widened.
Alix screamed, more like screeched and jumped away from him. However, he was still holding a part of the towel tightly and it easily came lose.
For a few horrifyingly short but also long seconds, they both watched the towel abandon Alix's body and fall to the ground. Stillness took over as they were both overtaken by embarrassment.
"I am so sorry." Caishen finally blurted out.
Alix barely heard the response as she broke out of her still state into a loud scream and covered her breasts first with her hands, governed by instinct.
Caishen's covered his eyes as if somehow the naked image of her would be erased from his brain but that would be an impossible feat. In a few seconds, his hands had filled up with as much as he could take in and the images were burned into his brain__, permanently.
When he covered his eyes, Alix retrieved her towel and took off running. She headed straight to the walk in closet just in time, to avoid being caught by Mo Sen and another guard that broke into the bedroom.
"Young master, madam. Is everything okay?" they shouted energetically.
"Get out." Caishen yelled at them sternly.
A bit confused, the two guards who had come to save their masters from uncertain danger backed up and walked out of the room. They were however immediately assaulted by two worried nannies that were also waiting outside, eager to help.
"What happened?" Nanny Wang grabbed Mo Sen and asked him persistently.
Nanny Luo turned him around to her side before he could answer. "Why did my Xi Xi scream like that?"
"Is something in the room?" Nanny Wang turned him back to her side.
Nanny Luo refused to surrender and she roughly turned him back around to her side again. "Oh God, it must be a cockroach. Xi Xi is scared of cockroaches, spiders and things that crawl."
She imagined that Alix had already climbed up a wall or a chair in fear. Her husband was in a wheelchair so he couldn't run after a bug and stomp it to death.
Nanny Luo looked at Mo Sen's big body and she tried to nudge him forward. "Go back and kill it."
"He should first explain." Nanny Wang pulled him back.

Mo Sen winced as he was twisted and turned by the women from side to side. They were elders he respected so he couldn't even shove them aside and he ended up being caught between them helplessly. Why they didn't trap the other guard, Wu Bi, he didn't understand. Why was he the easy target for them to capture?
"They are fine." he blurted out. "They are adults having fun. Nothing is wrong."
That was all he explained and carefully maneuvered the little gap he occupied between the two elder women and finally he escaped, leaving behind two confused nannies. After he escaped, Mo Sen wondered why he had given them that response. It would mislead the two women for sure.
He was right in his guess because the two nannies held looks of satisfaction on their faces. They assumed that Mo Sen must have seen a really interesting sight in there.
Back in the bedroom, Alix waited until Caishen got into the bathroom to finally escape the closet. She still couldn't get over the embarrassment of that towel fall. While she and Caishen had been intimate in different ways, they had not yet gone all the way and they had certainly not seen each other fully naked. Well___, that was no longer the same for her anyway since he had seen her quite clearly.
She sighed and fell back on the bed, very frustrated. She recalled the moment and kicked her feet in the air, in a perfect whiny tantrum fashion.
"Aaah, how embarrassing."
Not just embarrassing but annoying too because the silly system was still laughing and replaying the moment on the virtual screen in front of her eyes.
"Do you know how many popularity points you can get for this?" It asked her.
"Don't you dare." she answered and she did away with the virtual screen temporarily.
The blue elf was confused with Alix's actions. She had been sashaying and parading herself half-naked around her husband for a while now. What was the difference between then and what just happened now? She was over thinking clearly, like a lot of humans on this world.
But this was really great footage. It was too bad that it would not be seen by her thirteen million fans.
Alix meanwhile was giving herself a pep talk. "I will just be confident and bold. There is nothing to be ashamed about here. Yes, he is my husband, he was bound to see it all at some point."
She maintained the bravery until Caishen came out of the bathroom then she buried her face in a pillow.
Five minutes later, Caishen approached the bed and sighed. He had no idea how to maneuver this either but they had to get past it somehow. He smiled when he saw her exposed feet and he tickled the sole of her the right one.
"Stop hiding, I didn't see anything."
Alix sat up properly, and crossed her legs. She would not look at him however which made him laugh softly.
"Do you want to see mine under bright light?" he deadpanned.
She gasped and turned her head, looking at him with horrified eyes as if he had just suggested the most outrageous thing in the world. What exactly did he want her to look at under bright light?
He on the other hand continued smiling as he had succeeded in getting her to forget her little troubles for a few seconds. Now he just had to keep it that way.
Later, he would tease her about this. It was simply too funny of a memory to file away.
"I know that it's our anniversary but why don't we stay in and just hug? I can give you my gift now or later and we can just talk about anything. What do you say?" he asked her.
His mention of a gift reminded her that she had got him as well and she was glad that she had thought about it. She pushed all the thoughts of the unmentionable towel incident to the back of her mind and decided to just move ahead as if it had not happened.
"It sounds perfect, staying in to hug." she told him and she launched herself carefully into his warm waiting arms. It did feel great indeed to hug.
