Chapter 193: Chapter 193

The door was left open, cold white moonlight streaming into the room, casting gentle shadows.

Yun Ran carefully walked to the corner of the room, staring at the figure casually sleeping on the bench.

Sleeping in his clothes, with one long leg hanging off the side, looking quite uncomfortable, yet he slept soundly.

[In his arms? Sleeve? Shoe?]

Yun Ran wasn’t sure where he had put the key, so she cautiously leaned over and grabbed his sleeve.

The man wore a loose robe with wide sleeves, exuding an unrestrained elegance, and Yun Ran turned over layer upon layer of the sleeve, carefully inspecting it.

[Then is it in his arms?]

Under the cool moonlight, the girl’s slender, jade-white hand slowly reached into the black robe.

Gently and meticulously, searching.

Layer by layer, until finally, her palm rested on the man’s scorching chest.

Such intense heat, a steady heartbeat, more powerful than average?

Yun Ran frowned slightly.

[This bench is too short and narrow, not conducive to sleep, maybe tomorrow he should sleep on the floor.]

Why not sleep on a bed?

And does this girl really need to check so thoroughly? She seems determined to find the key on him, leaving no spot unchecked.

That soft, boneless little hand lingered on his chest, wandering around, like a feather tickling his heart, stirring the embers.

The man’s handsome face was tense, gritting his teeth secretly: Truly a little troublemaker!

Alone on the bench, tortured enough, and now she aimed to torment him further!

Luckily, he wore a mask, preventing Yun Ran from seeing his face; otherwise, she’d realize he was awake.

Yun Ran frowned, drew back her hand slightly disappointed.

[The key isn’t in his arms either?]

[Where could it be hidden?]

Yun Ran knitted her brows lightly, her gaze lingering on his waist for a moment before moving slowly downward.

The man’s breath hitched, his body abruptly tense, even his long legs turned stiff.

Her gaze felt almost tangible, like her hand gently stroking him...

[Let’s go from head to toe from top to bottom then!]

Suddenly, he felt tightness at his waist, opened his eyes, and saw the girl’s fair, soft hands gripping his dark belt, about to pull it loose.

Without time to think, he grabbed her mischievous hand.

Yun Ran was startled, looking up suddenly, unprepared, crashed into a pair of enchanting dark eyes, reminiscent of the sea under the moon, captivating, leading one to indulge.

Yun Ran’s breath paused, "You..."

"Little rogue, what do you plan to do to me?"

The man’s voice was low and slightly hoarse, extraordinarily sexy amid the mysterious night.

Yun Ran opened her mouth, taking a long moment to regain her senses, forcefully pulling her hand back, "You’re the rogue! Don’t slander me!"

The man curled his lips playfully, glancing at his belt and laughing mockingly, "Not a rogue, then what is this act, huh?"

[Undressing... looking for the key...]

"Had I not awakened in time, I might have lost my honor, right?"

"Admit it, you’re tempted by my body."

Seeing the wicked yet infuriating smile on his lips, Yun Ran gritted her teeth angrily, "No! I’m not! Stop talking nonsense!"

The amusement in the man’s eyes deepened, "The little girl plots mischief, with an undying thieving heart, aiming to tarnish my purity under the cover of night."

"Lin Wanyue, you’re truly fearless!"

[Couldn’t find the key, and got branded a rogue... So angry! Want to bite!]

The man watched her face turn red with anger, and couldn’t help but smile, speaking formally, "Since you’re so enamored with me, why not, I’ll oblige you?"

Yun Ran almost wondered if she heard wrong, yet he truly was undressing in front of her.

Elegant movements, seductive gaze, teasing smile.

[This seductive devil! Shameless rascal!]

Yun Ran grabbed the basket nearby and hurled it at him.

"Bastard! Scoundrel! Oblige yourself!"

After scolding, she stomped her feet harshly and stormed away.

In her rush, she accidentally kicked the table edge, grimacing in pain.

A warm body, suddenly close, lifted her up by the waist, quickly carrying her to the bed.

The man crouched, holding her leg, lifting the clothes to check the wound.

Yun Ran eyed his mask, feeling quite displeased: [Truly shameless, hiding a key !] Follow current novᴇls on NoveI(F)ire.net

Luckily the injury was minor, the man re-bandaged it and tucked her into the bed, pulling up the covers.

"Lin Wanyue, don’t run around anymore, understand?"

Yun Ran snorted coldly, turning away to give him a cool back.

The man touched her hair, chuckling lightly, "If you really desire me, then once you’re healed, I’ll oblige you, deal?"

Though she wasn’t able to get the key, Yun Ran was determined not to give up, planning to give it another go.

The next day at noon, the opportunity arose.

Yun Ran accidentally spilled an entire bowl of lotus soup on him.

Precisely, it poured from head down.

The shimmering lotus soup slid down his ink-black hair, passing his slender attractive neck, wetting his alluring collarbone, soaking into the front of his clothes.

"Oh dear! Just slipped, really sorry! Glad it’s not hot, are you okay?"

Yun Ran quickly grabbed a handkerchief to wipe him, ensuring he was thoroughly soaked in lotus soup.

Under the mask, the man’s handsome face stiffened, mouth twitching slightly, really wanting to strangle the little girl before him.

"Hey, seems to be getting worse as I wipe! Shouldn’t you go wash by the river? There’s a hot spring, it won’t be cold."

Her thieving heart is still alive!

Things being the way they were, a wash was inevitable; under Yun Ran’s expectant gaze, the man went to fetch clean clothes, turning back towards the river.

Watching his retreating figure, Yun Ran smiled brightly, eyes crinkling in joy.

[Heaven rewards those who persevere! Opportunities are earned and created after all!]

Suddenly, the man halted, turning back.

Yun Ran’s expression instantly shifted to one of apology combined with sincere concern.

"What is it? Did you forget something? Go wash, I’ll bring it to you later."

The man curled his lips.

This girl’s imagination is rich!

"Lin Wanyue, don’t run off, these remote mountains often see wolves, with me absent, don’t get dragged away by one."

Yun Ran mentally cursed him:

[You get dragged away by a wolf! Your whole family gets dragged away by wolves!]

Yet on the surface, she smiled sweetly, innocently charming, "Don’t worry, I’ll stay put."

Trust you, liar, wretched girl!
