Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 373 - 356: So You Think I Won’t Do Anything to You?
The hotel rooms are generally around ten square meters, not exactly cramped, but definitely not as spacious as home.
Coupled with the layout, apart from the bed, there is at most space for a table in the whole room.
Mu Yunchu sat in the chair in front of that table, not moving at all.
Wen Xu thought she had something important to say, but after waiting for a while, he realized she had no intention of speaking.
In this enclosed space where even the slightest movement could be heard, even breathing could be vaguely felt, the invisible ambiguities gradually increased.
Wen Xu wanted to turn on the air conditioning.
He pulled his collar and asked Mu Yunchu, "Are you hot?"
"Do you need me to turn on the air-conditioning?"
After speaking, he looked at her with some expectation.
Mu Yunchu was a bit surprised, as it wasn’t summer. But soon understood, "Maybe because it’s raining outside, so it feels especially stuffy inside."
"I don’t mind, you can turn on the air-conditioning."
Wen Xu: "..." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Not hearing the answer he wanted, Wen Xu felt a bit disappointed but confirmed something else.
That is, Mu Yunchu didn’t intend to leave.
So, how long would she stay in the room with him?
As the time ticked away, the street lights outside were already on, yet the heavy rain showed no signs of stopping.
He could guarantee, if the city’s drainage system wasn’t good enough, there had already been places flooded by now.
His gaze gradually moved from outside the window back to Mu Yunchu’s calm expression. He didn’t feel happy at all; instead, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Because he knew clearly that Mu Yunchu wasn’t staying here because she liked him.
For some reason, he felt a distress in his chest.
Would she act the same way with someone else?
Perhaps out of spite, or maybe with some other secret motive, Wen Xu said meaningfully, "It’s getting late."
Mu Yunchu didn’t even ’check’ the time, directly replied, "It’s still early."
Wen Xu: ???
He looked at his phone in disbelief; it was already past nine.
"Still early?"
The cold effect of the air conditioner set at 22 degrees vanished at this moment.
Wen Xu felt the room was now not just hot.
He casually opened a shirt button, the neckline that barely revealed his neck now moved downwards.
"Can you see what I’m doing?" Wen Xu asked deliberately.
Mu Yunchu: ?
"’Can’t see’."
In this situation, there’s no need to waste energy to use magic.
Yet she could guess from the sounds that Wen Xu was indeed moving.
Mu Yunchu belatedly seemed to realize something, her lips moved slightly, then closed again.
"I guess with me here, you’re a bit uncomfortable."
"Soon, just hold on a little longer."
Completely unaware that after she said this, Wen Xu’s mood took a nosedive.
"You’re considerate."
Mu Yunchu perplexed: "Are you angry?"
Wen Xu stood up, and the sound of the sheets rustling filled the air, Mu Yunchu listening intently, followed by the light clank of metal.
"I’m undoing my belt."
Mu Yunchu: ?
She swallowed back the words ’Rest assured, I can’t see’.
Her subconscious told her not to say that now.
It wouldn’t benefit the current situation.
Wen Xu stared at her still composed expression, uncertain if it was because she trusted him, or because subconsciously she thought he was harmless.
If it was the former, then it’s fine.
If it was the latter...
Then she could try.
In the next few minutes, neither spoke, the room devoid of any conversation.
After Wen Xu said he was undoing his belt, a vivid image formed in Mu Yunchu’s mind inadvertently. The sound was just too clear.
Including the sound of pulling the belt out.
She still hadn’t figured out why Wen Xu suddenly acted like this tonight.
Then she felt someone grasp her wrist, followed by a lightness in her body. Less than a second later, her back made intimate contact with the soft mattress.
The brief loss of body weight was less shocking than Wen Xu’s actions.
Especially when Mu Yunchu felt someone press against her, and her body sank further into the bed.
"What about like this?" Wen Xu placed one hand under Mu Yunchu’s head, protecting her from impact.
He realized just how small her head and face were.
His one hand could almost completely cover them.
While the other hand still grasped Mu Yunchu’s wrist firmly.
His body propped against the bed, almost enclosing her entirely.
The light scent of antiseptic commonly found in medical environments mixed with the fragrance of soap lingered at Mu Yunchu’s nose.
She blinked.
After Wen Xu spoke, Mu Yunchu noticed his proximity even closer than she felt.
Now, magic wouldn’t work.
Because her wrist was held in his hand.
So she could only focus on considering Wen Xu’s question.
"What do you mean by like this?"
"I mean, even like this, you don’t feel any sense of crisis?" Wen Xu lowered his eyes, his gaze locking on Mu Yunchu’s face so close to his own, instinctively feeling his Adam’s apple move.
It seemed as if this wasn’t enough, the hand cradling Mu Yunchu’s head moved slightly, with his thumb brushing through her hair, inadvertently grazing her ear.
This movement made Wen Xu’s heart skip a beat.
His fingers reflexively withdrew, his ears instantly turning red with heat.
Fortunately, Mu Yunchu couldn’t see his panic.
Wen Xu feigned composure.
"What do you mean by a sense of crisis?" Mu Yunchu asked.
"I mean going into a hotel this late with a man." He paused, "And staying in the same room."
Mu Yunchu replied, "Then I suppose I didn’t feel any danger."
Her words implicitly affirmed her own capabilities.
"Of course, I also haven’t been in this situation with other men."
She didn’t know if she would react the same, but thought no matter who it was, she wouldn’t worry for herself.
Even in this type of scenario, Mu Yunchu could solve it whenever she wanted.
However, considering she might hurt Wen Xu, decided against it.
Upon hearing her answer, the slight joy that had just sprung up in his heart vanished with her final words.
Wen Xu involuntarily lowered himself; if he eased just a bit, their lips would be pressed completely together. With difficulty, he forced his gaze away, his voice growing hoarse, "So you really think I won’t try anything with you?"
