Chapter 264: You Need to Take Good Care of Your Body

It was uncertain how much time had pa.s.sed when the sound of streaming water finally stopped. Mu Siyin blinked and pulled the blanket before turning her back to the door that s.h.i.+ Beiyu would come out from.

s.h.i.+ Beiyu knew it was obvious that he had behaved unnaturally tonight. Mu Siyin’s thought must be running wild.

Master Hu did mention that she would not be too affected by that.

However, he… felt awfully sorry.

As long as Mu Siyun was still here, he could not have s.e.x with Mu Siyin.

He walked to the edge of the bed in his nightgown and quietly stretched his neck to peek at Mu Siyin, whose back was against him.

When he saw that Mu Siyin’s eyes were seemingly closed, he sighed helplessly and lifted the blanket to slip under it.

Seeing that Mu Siyin was still ignoring him, he could not help but reach out his arms to hug her. “Hey…”

Just as his hands touched Mu Siyin’s shoulder, she immediately s.h.i.+fted her body towards the other side of the bed, away from him.

He felt really helpless.

A few moments later, Mu Siyin still seemed like she had no intention of acknowledging. Hence, he had no other choice but to shove himself close to her and said gently, “I’m sorry. I… had too many drinks tonight and suddenly felt uncomfortable…”

Mu Siyin did not believe him. She bet that he was just taking a cold shower just now!!

Moreover, his hands were freezing cold when he touched her.

At that thought, she snorted and s.h.i.+fted away again.

Upon seeing that, s.h.i.+ Beiyu could not help but laugh. “If you move again, you will fall off the bed.”

Mu Siyin was so angry that she immediately pulled the blanket over her and sat up. The look of s.h.i.+ Beiyu laughing made her feel ashamed yet furious. “s.h.i.+ Beiyu! Is it fun to make a fool out of me?”

Perhaps it was because… he did not find her attractive?

Was she that bad?!

s.h.i.+ Beiyu knew that Mu Siyin was starting to overthink. In response, he immediately held her in his arms.

“You… Let go of me!” Mu Siyin struggled.

Nevertheless, s.h.i.+ Beiyu hugged her tightly in his arms and said in a low voice, “Please hear me out. I was just afraid that I would hurt you since you were ill recently. Huo Sikai told me that I should give your body some time to heal. I had drunk too much, and for a moment there, I forgot what he told me.”

Mu Siyin looked at him suspiciously. “Is that the truth?”

s.h.i.+ Beiyu nodded. “It is.”

Mu Siyin had great trust in s.h.i.+ Beiyu, and she would always choose to believe his words.

However, she could not help but doubt him this time.

Mu Siyin remained silent with her head hung low. Suddenly, s.h.i.+ Beiyu lifted her face and said while staring deep into her eyes. “We’ll make up for tonight’s s.e.x after some time, okay?”

Mu Siyin felt a mix of shame and anger when she heard that. “What does that mean? It’s as if I’m forcing you!”

s.h.i.+ Beiyu laughed again. “Hey, I didn’t mean that.”

Mu Siyin blushed. Then, she turned around while pulling the blanket over and muttered, “I’m tired. I’m going to sleep!”

s.h.i.+ Beiyu looked at the string of blood-red jade beads tied around Mu Siyin’s slender wrist…

The next morning, Mu Siyin was awakened by the sound of the alarm clock.

Perhaps her anger from last night had yet subsided, but the sound of the alarm annoyed Mu Siyin so much that she pulled the blanket over her head to cover her ears.

s.h.i.+ Beiyu, who had just woken up, smiled at the sight of that, and he pulled her into his arms.

“It’s time to wake up.”

Mu Siyin said in a dull voice, “You can get up first.”

“Are you still angry?”

Mu Siyin instantly woke up when she heard that. She turned her head to look at him. “I’m not!”

“If you’re not angry, then get up and have some breakfast. You need to take good care of your body.”

s.h.i.+ Beiyu’s words were laced with some other meaning behind them, which made Mu Siyin want to hit him with a pillow out of anger.

“Be good. It’s time to get up. You have to go to work today too.”

s.h.i.+ Beiyu used all his strength to pull her up from the bed, but Mu Siyin said, “I’m not going to work today. I’m going to meet up with Yangyang and Qiuci.”
