Chapter 161 - The Surname 'Jun'
Chapter 161 – The Surname ‘Jun’
All Yu Mei could see was darkness as the man covered her in a blanket, without letaving a small gap as he held her in his arms tightly, "Are you trying to suffocate me to death?"
She could swear that Jun Zixuan was the only person existing on the Earth who could do this to her. One moment, she was pinned under him, leaning closer to his body, craving for his touch, and in the next moment, she had the urge to strangle him.
Jun Zixuan slowly raised the blanket and tugged the edges of it near her neck, properly stuffing her inside like a dumpling only letting her head peeked out.
He hugged her tightly, but the blanket was enough of a barrier between them.
As the weather was cold, she felt oddly warm and comfortable like this.
He bit the tip of her nose, "I'm trying to restrain myself from devouring every inch of you," His deeply sensuous voice sent shivers down her spine.
She blinked at his shameless words. From the day he kissed her, she was finding him more and more brazen.
"I.." She shifted a bit, finding their position slightly uncomfortable.
He flipped her such that both of them were lying on the bed. He gently tugged the blanket from her body and put it on his body before wrapping an around her waist.
His other hand moved under her head as he pulled her closer to his body. Their faces were inches apart.
She shifted a bit to create some more distance between them but he pulled her closer to himself and pressed a soft kiss on her forehead, "Let's just stay like this. I won't bite, I promise!" His eyes glimmered towards the end.
She suddenly leaned forwards so that their foreheads touched.
He raised an eyebrow, "What are you doing?"
"You had a fever yesterday and you disappeared in the morning. I was worried about you," She leaned back such that they were looking at each other's face, "I had called you but there was no response," Mentioning the kiss or what was going on between them will only end up getting her embarrassed so she changed the topic swiftly.
He tucked her hair behind her ear, "You've been worried about me?"
She shook her head, "Shall I take my words back?"
"No," He chuckled, the masculine sound of his deep laughter made her feel a weird sensation in her chest.
"Are you laughing at me?" She punched his chest.
He stopped laughing as he looked back at her face, "Yes, you are too cute," He smiled, "I usually don't use phones during meetings. I had left the note in the bed."
"But still…" She sighed, not speaking any further.
"Who knew that my wife would call me? I would've hugged the phone to work."
She pinched his cheek, "Who are you calling wife? Who exactly is your wife, hmm? I am not taking you as my husband," She made a face at him.
He pecked her puckered lips, shutting her up in an instant.
She cleared her throat, "When did you come?" When she went to the bathroom, she did not notice his presence at that time as she walked towards the wardrobe.
"I was on your bed when you came," He laughed looking at her strange expressions.
She sighed and sat upon the bed, removing his arm from her waist but the blanket was still wrapped around her body, "Shouldn't you go back now?"
"I want to stay over,'' He smiled.
The corner of her lips twitched, "This is the girls' dormitory, not your private villa. Just go back, okay?" She frowned.
He grabbed her hand before pulling her back towards him, "But I am still sick."
Her eyes widened, "But your fever is gone. Shall we go to the hospital? Where do you feel sick?"
He brought her palm closer to his chest, putting it right above where his heart was, "Here. Right here."
She was speechless, "You-"
"Mei, let's just hug each other to sleep, alright? I'll not feel sick tomorrow," The man innocently said, hugging her tightly as he closed his eyes.
This man…was such a white lotus! She blinked, looking at his sleeping face without a single word coming out of her mouth.
The next morning.
'Knock Knock'
Yu Mei pushed herself out of the study chair. She glanced at the bathroom for a moment before walking towards the door.
Just as she twisted the doorknob, Li Shuang's cold face greeted her.
"Morning," Li Shuang stepped inside the room.
Yu Mei pursed her lips as she nodded, "Good Morning. Is there anything you want?"
"Yes. It's our Chinese exam tomorrow," Li Shuang handed her a small notebook, ''Take this. Try out these questions.''
"Will these be there on the question paper tomorrow?" Yu Mei raised an eyebrow as she took the notebook from her hand before putting it on the study table.
"You can try your luck," Li Shuang shrugged as she turned around to leave.
Yu Mei let out a sigh of relief inwardly.
"Mei, what would you-?" Jun Zixuan paused, noticing another presence in the room.
Yu Mei: "_" Was it too fast to be relieved?
Li Shuang paused in her tracks as she turned around to look at the man. She had seen this man once with Yu Mei. More specifically, he was that guardian the students were talking about.
Yu Mei pursed her lips as she glanced at the man who was dressed in casuals. She couldn't believe that he came here with an extra pair of clothes. Did he think he was here for holiday?
"He is?" Li Shuang glanced at her.
"He is Jun Zixuan. We're just friends," The reply came within a beat that had the man's gaze darkening slowly. She then glanced at the man, "She is Li Shuang."
Both of them nodded at each other
Li Shuang's expression said that she did not believe the 'friend' part but she did not comment about it. "I'll leave now," She turned around and walked out of the room, wondering why this 'Jun' surname sounded familiar to her.
