Chapter 239: V-line Abs
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
More than 10 minutes had passed.
“Little Xiang Wan.”
Xiang Wan felt troubled and restless throughout the time he was in the bathroom. That sudden faint call from the bathroom startled her as though a muffled thunder struck her eardrum.
Bai Muchuan was calling her?
She got up and walked over, her ears burning a little.
“What is it?”
Silence.
No response.
Could it be that she had heard wrongly?
She knocked lightly on the bathroom door.
“Bai Muchuan? Did you call my name earlier?”
After a while, she heard a response. “Pass me a pair of briefs.”
“...”
Xiang Wan turned around.
She looked at the stuff they had bought earlier.
When Bai Muchuan entered the bathroom earlier, he did not seem to be holding anything else.
But—a pair of briefs!
Xiang Wan took out a pair of briefs nervously, biting her lower lip as she walked to the bathroom door.
“I got it. Open the door a little...” she instructed.
“... No worries, I’m not an exhibitionist.”
Bai Muchuan responded with a laugh and opened the door a little.
His body was hidden behind the door, but he showed his face through the opening, wearing a smile. That smile felt very special. At that moment, Xiang Wan could not find a word to describe it, but she suddenly thought of a classic phrase often used in romance fiction.
It was a flirtatiously charming smile.
Even in such a situation, he still looked as good as ever. After a bath, that dashing pair of eyebrows and eyes made him appear even more vibrant and charming...
Xiang Wan looked down nervously as she handed over the briefs.
However, when she was turning around, as she was feeling nervous and distracted, her elbow accidentally knocked against the bathroom door that was not yet closed...
Creak! The door opened!
Xiang Wan wanted to pull it back but she was not fast enough.
She stood there in shock, looking at the “scenery” in the brightly lit bathroom, her brain felt like it was about to explode.
At that moment, Bai Muchuan had not yet managed to get himself dressed—he was naked. His honey-toned skin with water droplets, well-toned chest muscles, abdominal muscles, and V-line abs—they were all in the right places... as well as a certain muscle that moved as Bai Muchuan suddenly turned to see what was going on... It was a perfect display of his outstanding male charm. It was so dazzling, which almost made Xiang Wan go blind!
Her mouth started to feel dry.
She didn’t know what to say.
At this moment, nothing she says could help.
She stood frozen to the ground. The one who reacted first was Bai Muchuan.
He pulled a large bath towel and tied it around his waist before walking out of the bathroom slowly. He then raised his wounded right arm.
“Mind helping me out?”
The waterproof tape he bought from the drugstore could not fully prevent water from seeping through.
Xiang Wan examined the wound which was now reddish and seemed a little scary to look at. Her heart squeezed together at that sight. Even the shyness and embarrassment earlier could not match up against her worries for his wound.
She was now holding his arm with a pained expression.
“I shouldn’t have let you bath.”
“But that means I will be filthy...”
“So be it...”
“Will you let me... sleep on the bed then?”
“...”
Xiang Wan’s heart started to pound wildly at his question.
Gosh, can’t you just say everything in one breath and don’t drag your voice? she dissed inside her head.
She focused on his wound and did not dare look at his face. “I’ll help you remove the waterproof tape and redress the wound.”
“Hm.” Bai Muchuan was much taller than her. From his height, he could see very clearly how Xiang Wan looked like when she was embarrassed.
This young lady here loves to blush too much , he thought.
Yet she was so brave although she was so shy.
Thinking of the way she looked when she held that long soup spatula earlier, Bai Muchuan’s mouth slowly formed a smile and a gentle glint flashed across his dark eyes.
He knew she was nervous and timid with regards to matters about intimacy. He did not want to force her, either.
To the extent that he did not even take advantage of the earlier situation to get closer to her.
Sitting quietly on the sofa, he looked at her, enjoying her fussing over him as she dressed the wound for him gently.
“Does it hurt?” Xiang Wan held a cotton swab, but she was hesitant to touch the wound.
“It doesn’t,” smiled Bai Muchuan, “don’t worry, just go ahead and do what’s necessary. If I let out a cry, you can do anything to me on the bed.”
“... Stop being indecent!”
Xiang Wan’s cheeks were suffused with blushes. She did not dare to look at him.
“Hmph, who’s actually the indecent one?”
“Me? It’s you.” Bai Muchuan smiled, his eyebrows raised slightly as he looked at her.
Although Xiang Wan did not look at his face, she could already feel the temperature in his eyes... It felt like a hot iron on her head, no, on her whole body...
As though there was fire.
An indescribable feeling took over and frightened her. She kept her head low in silence.
“Little Xiang Wan.”
Bai Muchuan called her again.
“Hm.”
His burning gaze was too dangerous. Xiang Wan did not dare to look up.
“You’ve poked my wound. Aye, it hurts...”
A faint sigh with a laugh startled Xiang Wan that she looked up in that instant.
They met each other’s gaze. That pair of cold eyes were glowing dangerously, as well as mischief.
Xiang Wan’s heart skipped a beat. “You’re pranking me...”
“No, I’m thinking...” He lifted her chin.
The two of them now faced each other, and their bodies were close. They were so close they could feel each other’s breath on both of their cheeks.
He asked, “Can I?”
“... Eh?”
Thump! Thump! Xiang Wan’s heart was about to leap out of her chest.
“Hm?” Bai Muchuan’s gaze seemed to be able to pull her heartstrings and make her fluster.
After contemplating for a moment as Xiang Wan did not say a word, he repeated his words. “Can I?”
Xiang Wan’s consciousness was already in chaos—her cells seemed to have been suddenly caught in a frenzy, as though shouting—
No reason to refuse, nod—
“Hm...” It was a faint reply, and immediately, it was dark before her.
Bai Muchuan kissed her.
Her breath was taken away. His hurt arm wrapped around the back of her head tightly. The other hand raised her chin as he kissed her earnestly, as though he was tasting some sweet dew, serious and unbridled...
“You’re... really nervous!”
He had a voice that sounded like he was gasping—low, alluring with a slight smiling timbre as well as a trace of helplessness.
“Little Xiang Wan, relax.”
“Hm...” Besides responding, Xiang Wan was unable to say anything else.
At the moment, she was being embraced in his arms, feeling so weak that she held onto his shoulder so as not to let herself blackout... The anticipation of her first time made her lips clamped together. She was nervous, scared even, and perspiration filled her forehead. That flushed red face of hers... it did not feel like she was just trying to be intimate with her boyfriend but going to the battlefield instead...
“... Silly girl.”
Bai Muchuan finally sighed and lifted his head from her lips.
“You have no confidence in me?”
“It’s not that.” Xiang Wan felt stifled; she was worried he would be disappointed with her. Her eyes felt warm, and she took the initiative to put her hand around his neck. “I’m just... a little nervous.”
“... Me too.” Bai Muchuan pointed at his own forehead. “Look at how much I’m sweating.”
“...”
Do men get nervous too?
Xiang Wan hesitated for a moment, looking at his curved lips, and then suddenly kissed them.
It was their first time; they were no different from each other.
Xiang Wan was a brave girl. Once she made up her mind, she decided not to hesitate...
She kissed him, trying to taste his lips as he did to her earlier, like slurping on a jelly...
“Tsk...”
Bai Muchuan gave a soft sigh and suddenly held her shoulders.
“Xiang Wan,” he said her name softly, strongly enduring his inner desire to vent. He pulled her close and held her tightly in his arms before stroking her head gently. “It’s okay, don’t force yourself. That’s enough...”
Enough? Xiang Wan was dazed for a moment.
