Chapter 194: Warming the Body

Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Warming the Body

The wind was howling outside, and the rain hit the windows like tiny pebbles, producing a sharp crackling sound.

But inside the house, it was quiet and dark, with only a few candles illuminating the room.

Under the warm glow of the candlelight, the young girl’s eyes shimmered like water. Her delicate face appeared even softer, like a harmless little deer.

Cheng Lie’s gaze fell on her red lips. In the flickering light, they gleamed faintly with a soft luster, full and petal-like.

In this kind of light, in this kind of atmosphere, it could truly tempt someone to sin.

Yun Shifei had no clue about the desires silently burning within Cheng Lie at this very moment.

She was still shocked by what Cheng Lie had just said.

He had come out in such dangerous weather because she was afraid—wasn’t he frightened himself?

Yun Shifei had always seen Cheng Lie as a child—a fragile boy trapped in his own world, someone who wouldn’t even realize if he got hurt. Despite her cowardice, she would always try to protect him.

But now, she realized he might not be exactly as she’d imagined.

He understood her fear and came to accompany her.

This boy seemed more perceptive than she’d thought.

For a moment, Yun Shifei’s thoughts were a mess. She couldn’t figure out whether Cheng Lie was clever or not.

She had been drying his hair, but now, holding the towel in her hands, she didn’t know what to do next.

She simply put the towel down, stood up, and walked over to the window, pretending to check if it was securely shut. Truthfully, her mind was in turmoil.

She felt that this couldn’t continue. If it did, she might fall for him.

In fact, the moment Cheng Lie said those words, her heart had already started to feel differently.

This feeling of liking someone was a bit peculiar.

It was like a little bug crawling on her heart, tickling her—a bit uncomfortable, yet strangely indescribable.
