Gu Xichao composed himself and continued to push her with his hand. This time, Jiang Yuan subconsciously muttered something unhappily, and the hands that were grabbing onto Gu Xichao didn’t let go at all.
Gu Xichao felt somewhat helpless.
Seriously.
He had never had encountered this kind of situation.
The man continued to raise his hand as he grabbed hold of Jiang Yuan’s shoulders, and prepared to push her away without much emotion shown on his fair, handsome face.
Suddenly, the woman’s soft lips pressed against Gu Xichao’s cheek.
And stayed there for two seconds.

Gu Xichao blinked as he was caught off guard, his blue eyes that were as elegant as glass seemed to become somewhat blurred.
It was as if someone had pressed the pause button, and he had forgotten to move away.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFive seconds had passed.
Gu Xichao had only then pushed the woman away from his embrace as if he had just awoken from a dream.
He suddenly sat up—sweat had formed on his forehead. The man’s lips parted a little as he was somewhat short of breath. His dense, curved eye-lashes were like a fan, as he blinked seductively.
At that moment, Gu Xichao could feel it very clearly.
His heart had skipped a beat.
He looked at the woman sleeping next to him.
What a coincidence too.
His line of sight had fallen on Jiang Yuan’s neck. Her neckline was smooth and beautiful, and when her pale skin against her black pajamas was making him dazzled...
He realized what he was looking at.
Gu Xichao facepalmed and pulled back his attention as if he was electrocuted, and he lightly bit his lip.
He got out of bed immediately.
The man’s heartbeat was chaotic. It was the first time that they had become this erratic.
Bang!
He closed the door and shut himself in the bathroom.
He turned on the tap.
Water gushed out. It was clear and clean.
The water flowed down the man’s fair, slender fingers as it flowed down into the sink, forming a minuscule splash.
Gu Xichao washed his face.
He wanted to clear his mind, but his mind kept replaying the image that he saw just now. He couldn’t seem to get it out of his mind.

‘I must be crazy.’ Gu Xichao thought.
His cherry-blossom colored lips stretched into a straight line, obviously showing his displeasure and frustrations.
The cold beads of water flowed down his face and his elegant chin and were finally absorbed by his collar where they disappeared.
Gu Xichao looked down. His bold brows furrowed as he looked at where his heart was.

The man became quiet, his bold brows somewhat pinched together. He had a calm, cold, and clean demeanor about him.
After a long while, he slowly raised his hand.
He placed it over his heart.
***
At 3 a.m.
Gu Xichao opened his eyes emotionlessly. He raised his slightly cold hands and once again pushed away the woman who had grabbed onto him.
‘The fourth time now…’
He sighed, feeling that he had a slight headache.
Gu Xichao was a light sleeper. After being woken up by Jiang Yuan so many times, he didn’t sleep much at all.
He was so sleepy that he almost couldn’t open his eyes.
After a brief silence, he went and cuddled Jiang Yuan.
Whatever.
