Chapter 14: Excited and Embarrassing, Help!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

She hadn’t looked at a man’s body like that except in movies.

Don’t mention that night with Xu Mo. Both of them had drunk that night and didn’t remember the details at all.

Xu Nanjin turned her head. She could neither leave nor stay.

Her hair was not yet dry. She would definitely be sick if she slept like this.

But he was naked if she stayed here. She dug her toes into the floor in embarrassment.

Xu Mo’s situation was no better than hers. He was in a dilemma.

If he entered the room directly, he would definitely have to pass by her. It was inevitable that she would see something.

If he went back, there would only be dirty clothes to wear. After a busy day, he was covered in sweat and the clothes smelled bad. He really couldn’t bear to wear them again.

He was honest and dutiful, not an exhibitionist.

Seeing Xu Nanjin’s expression, he was so embarrassed that he scratched his head hard.

Coughing lightly, he said, “My—my clothes are in my room. Why don’t you close your eyes and bear with it?”

Xu Nanjin closed her eyes and even covered them with her hand. “I’m done. Hurry up and go in.”

Xu Mo quickly walked over. After entering the room, he stuck his head out and said, “Alright, I won’t disturb you anymore.”

Seeing Xu Nanjin let go, he closed the door gently and heaved a long sigh.

He began to reflect. It was perfectly justifiable. Why did it have to be so shameful?

Feelings were a barrier. When would they be comfortable with each other?

He covered himself up to avoid embarrassment.

There was the sound of the blow dryer outside the door. He planned to go out and say something, but he could not find an excuse.

After what seemed an eternity, the voices outside stopped.

Xu Mo knew that if he didn’t go out, she would enter the room later.

So he pulled the door open decisively and walked out.

Xu Nanjin finished drying her hair. Her long, fluffy hair draped over her shoulders, making her face look even more exquisite and beautiful.

The thin white cardigan covered her pajamas, making her look ethereal.

She turned at the sound, and they both froze.

Xu Mo did not expect her to look so good with her hair down, like a lotus with dewdrops.

Especially since her watery eyes seemed to be speaking.

Xu Nanjin’s heart, which had just calmed down, thumped again. The person she liked was in front of her, and her ears turned red.

Although she was shocked just now, she felt that it was quite good when she thought about it.

Xu Mo looked thin, but she did not expect his muscles to be so well-defined.

Now that he was wearing home clothes, he looked more like a good caring man. In her eyes, he was a shining star.

They stared at each other for a few minutes, both feeling embarrassed before turning away.

Xu Mo said, “Is there anything else we lack at home? I’ll buy it tomorrow.”

“There’s a big supermarket downstairs. It’s easy to buy anything.”

He thought back and decided he was in the clear.

‘But a woman needs more things. I wonder if it’s convenient for her?’

Xu Nanjin thought of how she had looked straight at him just now, and her face turned hot.

‘How embarrassing. I wonder if he noticed.’

After Xu Mo finished speaking, it took her a few seconds to react.

“Ah, no, I don’t need anything,” she said nervously. “It’s a little late. I’m going to bed.”

She let her hair down and jogged into the room.

In her agitation she made a little noise as she closed the door.

She leaned against the door, her legs trembling uncontrollably.

Ever since that night, she had been thinking about Xu Mo.

She had thought of thousands of possibilities, but who knew that she would still miss so much.

The process of raising Xiao Ke hadn’t actually been too difficult, because that was the crystallization of love.

Besides, Xiao Ke was obedient and cute. She felt happy and was never upset every day.

After so long, they could finally live together.

Her long-cherished wish could now be granted.

She slowly knelt down and calmed herself.

Xu Mo stayed in the living room for a while. Why did she run away without saying anything?

He was still thinking about how to develop their relationship. It was a little difficult to start.

It was not as good as the small house he had rented before. He could still find a chance to squeeze in.

But he thought about the experience of sleeping on the couch the night before. The big house was more comfortable.

He wanted to enter the room directly, but after thinking about it, he stood at the door and said, “Xu Nanjin… Uh, I’m going to bed too.”

“Come straight to me if you need anything. I’ll be right in the opposite room.”

When Xu Nanjin heard his voice, she stood up immediately.

Hearing that he was going to sleep, she quietly opened the door a crack.

The light from outside shone behind him, just enough to cast a shadow on the door.

She said nervously, “Is the front door closed? Are the windows closed? Is it safe here?”

After all, it was her first day here. She valued her safety the most.

Because Xu Mo had been staying in the small rental house she slept in yesterday, she felt more at ease.

Xu Mo wanted to say that there was no problem, but he thought about creating an opportunity to be together, so he said, “Why don’t we check together?”

The quiet atmosphere was conducive to developing feelings. He looked expectantly into the door.

Xu Nanjin wrapped her clothes around herself and nodded as she walked out.

She stood in front of Xu Mo and said, “I’ve already checked the room inside and closed the windows.”

It was a tall building with security windows. There shouldn’t be any problem.

Xu Mo said, “Then check the kitchen, bathroom, and… my bedroom, as well as the living room and the main door.”

She nodded silently and went into the kitchen.

The last tenant had cleaned up the place well. There were few marks in the kitchen.

The windows were shut properly and the gas was working.

Xu Mo said, “What do you want to eat tomorrow? I’ll make it for you.”

Although the system had not given him any other culinary manuals, he had cooked a few meals before.

Although he couldn’t say how good it tasted, it was definitely edible.

Xu Nanjin hesitated for a moment before saying, “Anything is fine. I like everything.”

“What about Xiao Ke?”

She said again, “We’re the same. Not picky.”

Actually, she was picky, but if the food was made by Xu Mo, she wouldn’t be picky.

This made things difficult for Xu Mo. Usually, no requirements were the highest requirement.

Anything. Then he’d have to analyze what she liked to eat from her basic tastes.

But their time together was too short. Other than eating his egg fried rice, it was breakfast.

However, at least it could prove that they liked eggs. Meat should be fine.

After thinking about it briefly, Xu Mo had a general direction.

Then, they checked the bathroom and living room. The door was locked from the inside and there was an anti-theft button.

Finally, it was Xu Mo’s room. Xu Nanjin stood at the door, not daring to walk in.

She had been inside when they moved, but it had been empty then.

Now that Xu Mo had moved in, she felt that it was his private domain.

If she went in, she would be uncomfortable.

Xu Mo had already turned off the lights in the living room. He stood at the door and said, “This is the last room. Go to sleep after checking.”

She was still gritting her teeth and struggling. “Why don’t you check for yourself? I’m going back to bed.”

Xu Mo didn’t want to let go of the opportunity to spend more time with her. He said, “You should come with me. Only then will you feel more at ease.”

Xu Nanjin moved her body and finally took a step forward.

Something dropped with a crash that sent her skittering back against the wall.

As luck would have it, the switch was there. The room went dark.
