Chapter 720 Determined



"H-Hey! No, that\'s unfair!"

Guiying scooped up some more water from the fountain and splashed it on Zixin after which he mimicked the same actions. They circled and ran around the fountain while attacking and defending themselves at the same time.

Zixin\'s face and upper half of his coat and shirt was completely soaked with Guiying\'s mischief. Guiying pointed at his sorry state and laughed while stumbling back. She lost her footing just then, close to falling back in the fountain but Zixin swiftly caught her waist, alert.

A panicked gasp escaped from her lips for a moment but felt assured as he grabbed her just in time. She lifted her head and was about to say thank you but her gratitude remained stuck on her tongue.

With drops of water dripping down the strands of his hair and the moistness that glistened on his cheeks, his sexiness and charm had just been maximized. She could hear the loud drums of her heartbeats in her ears, tracing the see-through of his shirt sticking on his skin because of the wetness. It was oddly satisfying and tantalizing.

Is that how he looks when he is out of the shower?

Guiying immediately admonished herself.

What the hell? Wh-why are your thoughts going inside his bathroom, Guiying!?

Thank God he cannot read my mind or he would think that I am a pervert!

She felt the warmth of a soft palm gently making its way, holding her cheek as she continued to inwardly berate herself. Under the sunlight too, a shiver passed through as his fingers buried deeper within the locks of her wet hair.

She forgot to breathe as she looked into his dark black eyes, focusing on her with intense concentration. It was as if the hustle and bustle around them had completely turned silent. She sensed the press on her waist digging deeper as they inched closer and closer.

Zixin slightly tilted his head, brushing away a drop of the fountain pearl from her cheek. His gaze that traced the dampness on her neck line glinted with a tremble of an unknown desire awakening. That same thumb began to slip downwards to caress her jawline and made its way to her neck. The trickling drops were cold to touch yet his fingers were ablaze with a scorching heat of temptation.

Guiying\'s lips quivered with the feathery and tickling touches on her neck, making her breaths more restless and rapid. She lowered her gaze by that point, unable to keep peering into the fervor of his black shining orbs. His forehead bumped on hers at one point, his lips narrowly hovering around hers.

Did their lips touch or not was an illusion they wondered. The sound of his erratic soft breaths invoked a melody in her ears as that sound matched her own fidgety breaths. Here she was in the MrPerfect\'s embrace. An existence who she never thought she would meet was now standing intimately with her beside the sparkling rainbow fountain.

"What were you thinking?"

His whisper threatened to make her knees feel like jelly.

"What?" She asked, breathless.

"You were thinking about something when you were looking at me. Then you blushed and it looked like you were scolding yourself."

Her eyes almost popped out of her sockets.

"So what were you thinking?"

"No-Nothing! Just random silly t-thoughts…"

No, No! Of course I cannot let him know!

"Tell me," his voice held an urge as much as a hint of stubborness. "I could tell. It was something about me. I want to know what it is."

Can you s-stop hushing like this in my ears or I will faint…! She could feel her brain short-circuiting.

And no way I will tell you that I was imagining your after shower look!

She lacked tears to shed, but this was something she was determined not to share with Zixin at any cost.

He frowned. He could very well see that it was definitely a naughty thought that had made her cheeks flush that way. His curiosity now skyrocketed even more. He wanted to break her defenses in some way but before he could plan that, their moment came to a halt with Guiying\'s ringing phone.

She stiffened, her heart almost jumping out of her chest. As she accidentally looked back into those irises which felt like they would suck her away, she read his silent burning message of him not wanting her to pick the call.

That woke her up from her reverie and with it came a grave realization that they stood so close and intimate like this in the public. With her face filled with shyness, she broke from their embrace, quickly looking around. Thankfully, there were less people and that too on the other side of the fountain. She heaved a great sigh of relief.

"A bummer…" Zixin mumbled very softly.

"What?"

"Nothing."

He looked unfazed though great lament filled his heart for the abrupt ending of their proximity. But he soon realized that with \'Guiying\' also inside her, he shouldn\'t have acted this way with them. He closed his eyes, strongly criticizing himself.

I need to apologize.

He glanced at Guiying, who had received the incoming call. But he noticed her countenance not looking good. Trouble filled her gaze with her brows knitted together.

"Okay. I will come," she softly replied.

As she hung up, Zixin immediately asked with concern, "What happened?"

He vowed to resolve any crisis for her.

Guiying pressed her lips inwards. "It was your cousin Soo Yijun from the police station. He said that Bro has asked to meet me."

Zixin stared at her. "Cai Lingyun?"

She quietly nodded.

His expression immediately hardened and thinking how he always abused her physically and mentally, his clenched fist openly displayed his thirst of violence.

"Why does he want to meet you? It doesn\'t matter. You don\'t have to cater to any of his requests," he coldly rebuked Cai Lingyun\'s daring to contact Guiying.

Guiying\'s heart was filled with a fluttering warmth by his anger and concern for her sake. She said after a long, thoughtful pause, "I know. I can reject meeting him if I want. But…"

A strange will of determination shone in her eyes. "I will face him. I want to talk to him one last time."
