After Huangfu Yi put on his clothes, Murong Xue still turned her back against him, covering her face with her hands and not daring to put it down.
"I'm done. Silly girl!" Huangfu Yi said with a smile.
Murong Xue put down her hand, turned around, and gave him a hard look. But it caused him a burst of laughter.
"How can you take off your clothes in front of a lady?" Murong Xue approached him.
Huangfu Yi buttoned his sleeves and replied without looking up, "You are not a lady."
"He should say these words so directly!" Murong Xue thought. She felt a bit bitter.
Her face puckered and she finally spat out some words after a while. "Why am I not a lady? I don't remember I did anything that wasn't lady-like." She had to defend the dignity of women.
Huangfu Yi paused, pinched her bulging face, and said, "Now you don't look like a lady at all, do you?"
Murong Xue's face turned red. His act was too intimate. "Don't pinch my face. It makes my face round." She patted his hand off and rubbed her cheek.
Huangfu Yi smiled. "It's time to wash up. Who should wash first, you or me? Or you want the two of us together?" He raised his eyebrows at her, looking frivolous, but it made people blush. There was no denying that good-looking people looked good whatever expressions they made.
"Who wants to be with you? I'll wash first." Murong Xue then quickly ran to the bathroom and closed the door. After a long time, her heart was still beating abnormally. Why did she feel that Huangfu Yi seemed to become completely different? Before, he was so cute and innocent, but now, it seemed that someone suddenly uncovered his mask, and he exuded the charm of a mature man. Now she was like a little girl in front of him.
She looked at herself in the mirror, her cheeks flushed, her eyes tender. But suddenly her face turned white. What was she doing now?
When she got out, she had calmed herself down. Even her eyes were cold. "All right." She nodded to Huangfu Yi, motioning him to go in and wash.
"There are several sets of new clothes on the bed. Do you like them or not? Just had it sent by someone," Huangfu Yi said as he walked into the bathroom.
Murong Xue picked up the exquisitely made dress on the bed. There was no brand on it. It turned out to be hand-made clothes. The workmanship didn't look ordinary. It felt very silky and comfortable. Even if you had enough money, you might not be able to buy such a dress.
"Well, do you like them?" Huangfu Yi asked. As soon as he came out, he saw Murong Xue in a daze with that skirt in her hand. He could not see whether she liked it or not from her expression. He was a little bit nervous.
Murong Xue came back to earth. It was a mess in Murong Xue's mind while she was holding the dress. "Yes, is this dress expensive?" She guessed it was worth no less than a few million dollars, and maybe more than that.
"It's just a dress. It will be great if you like it!" Huangfu Yi said.
It made sense as he was brought up in a rich family. Murong Xue picked up the clothes and was ready to change into them in the bathroom. She could afford clothes worthy of million dollars, but she got used to wearing clothes casually. She preferred casual clothes to skirts because they were more comfortable and convenient to wear, but she didn't hate skirts, either.
When Murong Xue changed into the dress and came out of the bathroom, Huangfu Yi was blown away by her beautiful figure. The dress was emerald green, and it looked like a piece of jade from a distance. The emerald green matched the jade perfectly, which looked like a lush forest, changeable and hard to identify. It highlighted Murong Xue's fair skin which seemed to shimmer. Coupled with her soft black hair, the whole person looked more like an elf who accidentally fell to the mortal world.
Huangfu Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't take his eyes off her. He rarely saw Murong Xue dressed up like this and couldn't help but discompose, "Xue, you look gorgeous." He couldn’t help but exclaim.
Murong Xue saw the admiration on his face, and her face still couldn't help but get flushed again. She found that she seemed particularly prone to blush in front of Huangfu Yi, and it started last night. Why? There had never been such a situation before. What was it like before? Murong Xue wanted to recall. It seemed that before, her only feeling for Huangfu Yi was that he was cute and had painful scars.
Just the day before yesterday, she still felt that he was pure and innocent, and the change started from last night. Did something happen to Huangfu Yi within a short day?
She didn't like the feeling of being led away. She panicked as she couldn't help but blush and her heart raced. She wanted to run away at once and didn't dare to think too much about the meaning behind these feelings.
"You could fall asleep last night, right? Don't get me involved like this again." Murong Xue said, pretending to be calm.
"No, I didn't fall asleep until you went to bed and I held you last night. So you can't be irresponsible." Huangfu Yi said seriously.
Murong Xue was a bit speechless. Why was it her responsibility? "If you can't sleep, practice slowly. You will get used to it one day. I can't sleep with you all my life!"
"Why not?" Huangfu Yi asked. In his opinion, it was not something to be worried about.
Murong Xue frowned. It seemed that he still had to see a doctor. "You can only sleep with your wife. You will have a wife in the future. You two will live together for the rest of your life, eat together, sleep together, and work together."
"Isn't that the same as we are now? Now we are eating and sleeping together. As for work, I can also show you." Huangfu Yi pointed out the way they got along. They were getting along like a couple. How nice it was!
Murong Xue paused. Never had she thought about it. Huangfu Yi made it clear and it made her face become pale. Gradually, they were so close. Since when? She didn't even notice it.
No! It was impossible! That was not true! Murong Xue flopped on the sofa, her face pale. She remembered that she had just seen her cheeks flushed in the mirror.
"Xue, are you all right? Not feeling well?" Huangfu Yi hurriedly walked to her, reached out his hand to feel her forehead, and asked with concern.
His warm palm was placed on her forehead. Because they were very close, she could still smell his unique and light fragrance, which smelled good. Her heart was racing at this moment. Murong Xue suddenly pushed him away. Huangfu Yi didn't see it coming and was pushed back a few steps.
Seeing his surprised look, Murong Xue realized she overreacted, which seemed a little weird. She seemed to be scared and suddenly stood up. "I'm fine. I want to go home."
"Go home? Or after breakfast, I'll take you home then." Huangfu Yi didn't seem to care about what she just did.
Murong Xue looked away and didn't want to see his face. "No, I don't want to eat. I'm a little sick. I want to go home and have a rest now." It was definitely because she spent a lot of time with him these days and it made her mind a mess. She needed to go home and stay by herself.
"If you don't feel well, just rest here. I'll send the Dragon Doctor here and have a look." Huangfu Yi walked over, took her hand, and walk towards the bedside.
"Don't touch me!" Murong Xue threw off his hand and even took two steps back.
Huangfu Yi felt a burning pain in his hand that was thrown off. It could be seen how hard Murong Xue threw his hand off. He frowned, having no idea why she suddenly reacted so fiercely. She was all right just now. "Xue, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" He asked with concern.
"I'm all right. Just let me go home. I'm going back now." Murong Xue's voice was also higher. She wanted to leave here at once and have a good rest.
It was the first time that Huangfu Yi had seen her speak to him in such a tone. In the past, she was gentle, naughty, or slightly overbearing. But now she looked cold and spoke in an impatient tone, which made him feel whether he had said something wrong and made her angry. "Fine, I'll send you back now."
He still wanted to stay with her for a while. But seeing her expression, he thought he'd better send her back first. Later, he would ask Long Yi if every woman was like this, changing their faces out of the blue. He didn't understand at all. He picked up the car keys, stepped out first, and turned back to Murong Xue, "Let's go!"
Murong Xue bit her lip and said, "Can you let Long Yi give me a ride?" She was in a mess now and didn't want to be with him even for a minute. She was afraid she would react in a strange way.
This time, however slow he was, Huangfu Yi knew she didn't want to stay with him. He stopped, turned his head, and asked, "Are you angry? Because of what I just said?" Huangfu Yi thought it was the joke he said. "If so, I apologize to you. I'm just kidding." He said in a low voice.
Murong Xue paused. His voice was so gentle as if he had been tolerating ignorant children. Her heart skipped a beat. She lowered her head, trying to control her abnormal reaction. "I'm not angry. I just want to go home." She whispered.
Huangfu Yi gazed at her black hair on her head for a long time and failed to see her show any expression. Finally, he said in a resigned voice, "Let's go then! I have Long Yi take care of something, so I'll give you a ride!"
Long Yi, who was in the next room, yawned. Why didn't he know that he was out busy?
Murong Xue didn't refuse him this time. Wouldn't it be strange if she said no again? Originally, she just had some strange reactions for no reason, but now she made a fool of herself. She followed him with her head down, and they didn't speak anymore.
When she arrived at her apartment, Murong Xue opened the door without saying a word. She only wanted to leave.
"Wait a minute, Xue!" Huangfu Yi exclaimed, trying to stop Murong Xue who was about to leave.
Murong Xue froze in her footsteps and turned around after a while, revealing a stiff smile. "What's up?"
Huangfu Yi picked up the bag on her seat and showed her. "Did you forget to take your bag?" Then he fixed his eyes on her, not wanting to miss any of her expression. Murong Xue was so strange, and he couldn't help but want to know why.
Murong Xue quickly stepped forward and took the bag. Then she said in a flat voice, "I've got to go now. Safe driving." Then she fled as if a monster had been chasing her.
Huangfu Yi watched her walking away for a long time, and there was a profound meaning in his eyes. He didn't drive away until Murong Xue was out of sight.
Actually, he wanted to accompany her upstairs, but she obviously tried to avoid him and made him stop talking. He never thought it would be so difficult to get along with people. He couldn't figure out what was on her mind and it made him slightly fidgety. He actually felt that women were more difficult to understand than advanced mathematics and more difficult than solving state affairs.
Murong Xue calmed herself down after she returned to her room. She sat on the bed, memories of her and Huangfu Yi crowding in on her. Hours ticked away, and she finally realized that she had been thinking about Huangfu Yi since she came back.
She suddenly got up and locked the door from inside. After drawing the curtain, she flickered into the Space. She sensed the smell of these familiar herbs, and it helped calm her down. She picked up a medical book from the bookshelf and began to read.
In a hotel room, Chu Yisen rubbed his forehead. The headache after a hangover was unbearable. He opened his eyes and looked around. The environment was strange. He couldn't remember why he was here.
He shook his head, and some vague fragments flashed through his mind. There was a woman, and then he couldn't remember anything following that.
Was there a woman? He checked his body. Nothing changed except that two buttons on his coat were undone. Even his wallet and mobile phone were on the bedside table. Did someone just kindly send him here?
