Then, her eyes swept over the trousers discarded to the side. She quickly folded them and hid them in a secret corner under the bed. You have to know that in ancient times, these trousers were equivalent to underwear. If anyone saw them, she would be extremely embarrassed. After putting the trousers away, she got out of bed, holding the lid of the medicine bottle tightly in her hand. She took small steps to the table and placed the medicine bottle on it.
Then, just as she was about to turn around and go back to the bed to wait for Chun Xing to come over, she accidentally hooked the leg of the stool next to her when she turned around. In an instant, her body lost balance and she fell forward completely out of control.
In a panic, she subconsciously covered her head with both hands, closed her eyes, and fell to the ground uncontrollably.
At the critical moment, the door was slammed open, and a figure rushed in with the wind. Seeing this, the man was extremely anxious and wanted to reach out to grab her, but it was too late. He had no choice but to suddenly turn over and arch his body, falling to the ground before she hit the ground, trying to use his body as a "meat cushion" to cushion the impending impact.
Followed by a muffled groan.
Luo Shuiyao's eyes, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened when she sensed someone coming to rescue her. What came into view was Ye Yunzhou's chin, which was so close to her. She was momentarily stunned.
She quickly propped herself up with her arms and looked at the open door behind her. She instantly realized that Ye Yunzhou must have rushed in after hearing the noise in the room.
She pursed her lips slightly and tried to use the strength of her arms to support her body and stand up, but her injured legs were really weak. She tried very hard but failed to stand up.
Ye Yunzhou just lay on the ground and looked at Luo Shuiyao. Seeing her eyes constantly changing, he couldn't help but find it funny. Seeing Luo Shuiyao trying for a long time but still unable to get up from the ground, Ye Yunzhou reached out his hand to help her.
Who would have thought that as soon as the hand moved, it accidentally touched Luo Shuiyao's injured leg. Luo Shuiyao instantly gasped in pain, "I can do it myself, don't move."
After she finished speaking, she realized that her tone was a little stiff, so she quickly added, softening her tone and explaining, "You just touched my leg, it really hurts, wait for me to do it myself."
As Ye Yunzhou listened to her words, his Adam's apple rolled involuntarily and his eyes darkened a little. After a brief silence, he opened his lips slightly, lowered his voice very low, and squeezed out two words from the depths of his throat: "Okay, I'll wait for you." His voice seemed to have been polished by sandpaper, with a rough texture, and wrapped in wisps of indescribable emotions, like a rich fragrance quietly permeating the darkness, slowly lingering in this cramped and narrow space, overflowing with intriguing tension.
Luo Shuiyao's arms, previously supporting her body, were now sore and weak. She gritted her teeth and tried to stand up again, but her injured legs held her back, and she couldn't. After all this effort, her spirit gradually waned, and she simply gave up, letting go of her arms and lying flat on Ye Yunzhou's chest. She wanted to rest for a moment, wait for the numbness in her arms to subside, and then try to stand up again.
Luo Shuiyao was completely unaware that her warm breath was falling on Ye Yunzhou's exposed neck. Ye Yunzhou's body was frozen, motionless. He subconsciously clenched his fists at his sides, his fingertips turning white. He tried his best to restrain himself, not wanting to reveal his embarrassment, and beads of sweat quietly seeped out of his forehead.
Luo Shuiyao listened to the increasingly rapid and pounding heartbeat, and doubt filled her heart. She subconsciously looked up and saw that Ye Yunzhou's face was covered with fine beads of sweat. She couldn't help but look surprised, and asked with a bit of worry and apology, "Am I too heavy and pressing on you?"
Ye Yunzhou's eyes, which were originally tightly closed, slowly opened. His eyes were bloodshot, as if covered by a layer of red mist. He stared at her straight and motionlessly.
Luo Shuiyao was stared at by this fiery gaze filled with inexplicable emotions. Her breathing suddenly stopped and her heart seemed to be gently bumped by something, causing her to panic for a moment.
Ye Yunzhou looked at Luo Shuiyao's reaction, a dark glint flashed across his eyes, fleeting. Then, his thin lips, with their hard lines, opened slightly, and he asked slowly, "What do you think of my appearance?"
At that moment, Luo Shuiyao, who was trying to stand up again, froze instantly upon hearing these words. She raised her eyes to look at Ye Yunzhou, meeting his fiery and persistent gaze. Her heart tightened for no reason, and she swallowed back the perfunctory words on her lips. She couldn't say anything against her will, so she could only honestly reply, "Of course you are very beautiful."
The man lying on the ground had hair soaked with sweat, with strands sticking to his smooth forehead. His expression was filled with a charm not usually seen, like a bewitching demon. He licked his lower lip with the tip of his tongue and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Would you like to kiss me?"
Luo Shuiyao bit her lower lip, intending to refuse outright, but when she looked up at his expression, her heart felt like it was being gently pricked by a feather, inexplicably itching. She had always been unable to resist beautiful things, and people were no exception. After all the interactions with Ye Yunzhou, it would be a lie to say she had no feelings for him. Hearing his bold and straightforward request, her heartbeat, which had just calmed down a little, instantly began to beat wildly again.
Ye Yunzhou keenly detected the hint of hesitation in Luo Shuiyao's eyes. However, he had always been a man of great patience and a skilled hunter, well-versed in the art of hunting. He knew how to quietly lure his prey into his trap, only striking decisively when the opportunity arose. Despite their time together, and despite many unspoken issues, he had a vague idea of the reason for Luo Shuiyao's resistance. If that was the case, he would address her concerns.
As he pondered this, the words that came out of Ye Yunzhou's mouth still revealed a hint of temptation.
"Don't worry, I will never tell anyone else about this, and naturally you don't need to be held responsible for it. Why not give it a try?" He said this, his eyes fixed on Luo Shuiyao, as if to completely dissolve the last bit of hesitation in her heart.
Indeed, Luo Shuiyao, who grew up in peacetime, could not compare to Ye Yunzhou, who had experienced the baptism of the battlefield and was deep-minded and scheming.
After hearing Ye Yunzhou's words, the last bit of hesitation in Luo Shuiyao's heart finally dissipated. Yeah, since they wouldn't tell anyone else and didn't have to take responsibility for each other, there really seemed to be no reason not to give it a try.
Thinking of this, she slowly bent down and met Ye Yunzhou's eyes.
Ye Yunzhou still had that indifferent expression on his face, and he just stared at her quietly, but the clenched fist at his side betrayed that his heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface. The bulging veins on his fist seemed to tell of the emotions that were secretly surging deep in his heart.
