Chapter 204 - Who was he calling wife? (3)
Victory was in sight. She was only short of an eyelash. That item was a bit difficult. It wasn't like she could say, don't move, I see a white eyelash.
Bei Nuan blankly stared at his eyelashes that resembled small fans.
Lu Xingchi surprisingly didn't say anything and waited for her to come out of her daze.
Bei Nuan asked, "Lu Xingchi, I noticed that your eyelash-"
"You can do whatever you want." Lu Xingchi interrupted her as she was making the excuse.
Bei Nuan was startled. He was so good at seeing through people. Could it be that he noticed she was up to something?
Lu Xingchi lowered his long eyelashes and repeated, "You can do whatever you want."
Well, since he had said so and his thick and long eyelashes were right in front of her, then it would be a waste to not take one.
Bei Nuan held his head in place with one hand and abruptly ripped off an eyelash with her other hand. Oh, it felt like she had pulled off more than one. Anyways, his eyelashes were so dense. He wouldn't mind if he lost one or two. At most, it was just a bit more pain.
Bei Nuan more or less felt a bit guilty. She rubbed his eyelids. "That eyelash looked… umm… kind of off. Like it's knotted up?"
That explanation sounded nonsensical even to herself.
It was only then that Lu Xingchi looked up. He looked at her with his light brown eyes as if he could see through her eyes and into the depths of her soul.
Outwardly, Bei Nuan looked the same as usual, but she had never been so worried that her lie would be seen through. She knew that he was very good at seeing through people. For him to be so obediently cooperative with her, had he figured something out?
Bei Nuan's heart palpitated like someone was beating a drum with a lot of force.
Lu Xingchi stared at her for a while. Suddenly, he smiled. His expression softened like melting ice and snow. He stopped staring at her and looked away.
Bei Nuan suddenly felt a hand on her waist.
He gently moved her forward into his arms and tightly embraced her.
"Bei Nuan, I was wrong," he whispered into her ear. His voice was soft.
Bei Nuan: ?
"People tend to feel vulnerable when they're not feeling well, especially you, you're a girl. At a time and place like this, you probably need someone to comfort you by holding your hand, hugging you, and so on."
He buried his head in her hair. His tone was full of self-blame as he said, "But I keep pushing you to be my girlfriend. Even when you want to get close to me, you come up with all sorts of strange excuses."
Bei Nuan blankly listened. Suddenly, she felt pure happiness and relief. He could tell that she was lying, but he had misunderstood her reason for lying. He thought she was making up excuses to get close to him. He was totally off and nowhere close to the truth.
Being able to fool Lu Xingchi was the most exciting thing.
Bei Nuan was resting on his chest. She happily grabbed his shirt and quietly let out an, "oh". She sounded so pitiful.
Lu Xingchi hugged her even tighter.
"In the future, you can hold my hand and hug me whenever you want. I definitely won't force you to do something more just because of that. I don't need to be your boyfriend. You can treat me as a good friend or whatever you want."
But, his embrace was so warm and comfortable. She didn't want to move away.
Bei Nuan couldn't resist the temptation and remained resting against his chest.
She didn't try to wiggle out of his hug, and Lu Xingchi didn't move either. He didn't take advantage of the moment to do anything else.
Bei Nuan looked like she was quietly letting him hug her, but she was actually fiddling with stuff in her pocket space. She placed a plate on the floor of her pocket space, laid a paper on the place, placed the items she had collected, crushed the paper into a ball, and set the paper ball on fire.
As the flames sprang up from the paper ball, Bei Nuan whispered in Lu Xingchi's arms, "Please grant me wolf ears."
"What did you say?" Lu Xingchi didn't clearly make out what she said.
"Nothing, I didn't say anything," Bei Nuan answered.
(She clearly said something.)
Bei Nuan suddenly heard Lu Xingchi's voice. It sounded a bit different from his usual voice. It sounded a bit unclear and a bit far as if the voice came from the other side of the wall. It was easy to overlook if she wasn't paying attention. But, it was undoubtedly Lu Xingchi's voice.
