Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

“It's clean.”

Fu Lingye's dark eyes were fixated on her, making her feel slightly uncomfortable. He took the undergarments from her and grabbed her hand, planting kisses on her palm, fingers, and back of her hand.

Mu Tongrui felt like tiny currents of electricity were running through her. He was just kissing her, but his gaze seemed to say something else. She couldn't stop herself from turning red from embarrassment.

“L-let's sleep! I'm tired.”

She ran over to the bed and buried herself in the sheets. Fu Lingye laid down beside her and pulled her into his arms. “Babe, don't leave me ever again. It took me so long to find you,” he pleaded in a low voice.

Mu Tongrui was touched, but also confused.

He's being so strange tonight!

He said a lot of things he wouldn't normally say, not limited to calling her 'babe'.

Mu Tongrui turned around and put her hand on his forehead. “Fu Lingye, are you sick?”

His forehead was cool as ice.

What's wrong with him then?

Fu Lingye pulled her hand away and frowned. “What's wrong?”

Mu Tongrui decided to tell the truth. “Something seemed off about you tonight. You're acting weird.”

Nonetheless, she loved how Fu Lingye babied her.

Fu Lingye's frown deepened, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face. However, he immediately pulled her into a hug and said, “You'll get used to it soon.”

“......”

This man must be possessed!

Mu Tongrui turned red in the face and buried herself in the blankets. “I'm going to sleep!”

After a few seconds, she threw the blankets aside. “No, we're going back to Bei City tomorrow, so I gotta pack.”

She was about to get up when Fu Lingye dragged her back down. “Cut it. I'll pack for you tomorrow morning.”

Mu Tongrui felt a twinge of happiness. Did she not know him well enough or something? Since when was he such a gentleman?
