Chapter 17  : Falling Into His Arms

“But I cooked it,” Yan Xi said righteously. “I timed the fire perfectly and kept the dumplings’ deliciousness to the maximum.”

She softened her voice and said, “Hurry and praise me.”

Gu Shen was made to say something nice. “You boiled the water well.”

After he finished speaking, the corners of his lips curled up. The curve was very small and disappeared in an instant, but Yan Xi saw it clearly.

“Did you just smile?”

Gu Shen did not speak, but Yan Xi moved closer to him and looked at him.

“What are you doing?” Gu Shen was a little unnatural.

“Smile again.” Yan Xi said, “Or praise me.”

…

It was already four o’clock after the meal. Yan Xi yawned.

“I’ll push you up to rest.”

It was rare that Gu Shen did not reject her. “Okay.”

The two of them entered the elevator. Gu Shen raised his hand and pressed the button for the third floor.

The floor was not high, so the elevator arrived quickly. The moment the door opened, Yan Xi pushed him out.

After entering the room, Yan Xi realized that she was blushing.

This was her first time entering a man’s room.

Gu Shen’s room was very big, but there was very little furniture inside, only some necessities. His bed was not very high, but it was still difficult for Gu Shen to go up alone.

Yan Xi rolled up her sleeves and showed Gu Shen her nonexistent muscles.

“Come, I’ll carry you to bed.”

As soon as the classic lines were out of her mouth, many of the romantic novels she had read flashed across Yan Xi’s mind. According to the story development of these novels, they were now supposed to do something intimate.

Yan Xi’s face suddenly turned red.

Because her skin was fair, even slight redness was obvious to the eye.

Gu Shen asked, “Are you hot in here?”

“Yes. A little, I guess.”

Although she said she was gonna carry him up, Yan Xi only held Gu Shen’s arm.

Gu Shen placed his hand on the bed and used the force to move himself over. Although his lower limbs did not have much strength, his hand was very strong. His bulging biceps was not something Yan Xi’s slim body could compare with.

Yan Xi couldn’t help but pinch it.

In romantic novels, if the female protagonist did this, the male protagonist should have already kissed her. If Gu Shen really kissed her, should she close her eyes or put on some kind of expression?

Yan Xi lost in thought until Gu Shen said, “What are you doing?”

She shivered in fear and quickly stood up. However, when she stood up, she slipped over and fell towards Gu Shen.

Her hand subconsciously wanted to grab onto something. When Yan Xi came back to her senses, she realized that one of her hands was holding onto Gu Shen’s collar while the other was firmly inserted between his legs.

Gu Shen was wearing pajamas. The clothes on it were almost torn off by Yan Xi, revealing his perfect chest and abs. The shape in the middle was also pressed against Yan Xi’s hand, gradually showing.

Yan Xi felt as if she was burnt and quickly retracted her hand. She laughed awkwardly. “Would you believe me if I said I didn’t do it on purpose?”

Gu Shen looked at Yan Xi pensively.

She had been using all sorts of methods to get closer to him, but at the same time, she retained that innocence and purity of a girl.

She looked completely different from before. Why did Yan Xi change so much in such a short time? What did she want from him?

Meanwhile, Yan Xi was already gone. She did not even dare to take the elevator and ran down the stairs.

After locking the door, she leaned against the door frame, her face so red that it was almost steaming.

She covered her face, embarrassed and amused.

Yan Xi recalled the touch just now.

She felt that Gu Shen was actually pretty strong.
