He pretended not to see Gu Muxue, waiting quietly for her to reach his side.
Gu Muxue held her breath, wanting to give Xue Rui a good scare. But she was also afraid he might suddenly cry out...
She was so conflicted!
The room was dead silent. Since Xue Rui had just showered, every pore on his body felt terrifyingly sensitive.
He could feel a warm breath behind him, and the sound of a THUMP-THUMPing heartbeat. The girl was behind him, getting ready to give him a scare.
So, he decided to strike first.
Xue Rui suddenly spun around, wrapping an arm around Gu Muxue's waist and clamping his other hand over her mouth.
"Mmph!" Gu Muxue's eyes shot wide open. 'He knew I was here, and he still pretended not to see me?'
"Shh, someone might hear," Xue Rui said.
Gu Muxue froze, her heart leaping into her throat. Xue Rui was bare-chested while she was only in her pajamas, and he was holding her so tightly...
Gu Muxue pried his hand away. "Go to sleep. And don't touch me."
