Chapter 270: Playing Rogue

A few minutes later, Xu Xiang finished preparing bath water for Mu Yucheng. She walked to the bed and gently helped him to the bathtub. Standing by the bathtub, Xu Xiang wanted to take off the rest of Mu Yucheng’s clothes, but he quickly held her hand to stop her

She raised her eyes and looked at him confusedly. "Mhm?"

Feeling that his throat was dry, Mu Yucheng swallowed a few times before he opened his lips, and said hoarsely: "I... I can do it myself. Can you wait outside for a while? I will call you when I’m done."

Xu Xiang looked at his shy expression and the tips of his ears that were slowly turning red, and thought: ’Why does he look like a shy newlywed bride? It’s not like I’m really going to do something to him.’

Seeing him like this, Xu Xiang suddenly had the urge to play tricks on him. She smiled at him, and slowly said, "What are you afraid of? It’s not like I’m going to eat you."

She observed Mu Yucheng’s expression and found that he was really flustered and panicked right now. The corners of her lips curled up while her hand touched his cheek, and then slowly tracing down his jawline until it reached his chest. She got closer and closer to him until there were only a few centimeters between their lips.

Seeing his Adam’s apple rolled several times, Xu Xiang chuckled lightly and said, "Mu Yucheng... Are you expecting something? Do you know how to kiss someone?"

Swallowing again, Mu Yucheng stammered, "Ki... Kiss? Kissing who?"

Xu Xiang blew his lips lightly and asked, "Who do you want to kiss?"

Mu Yucheng stared at her, not knowing what to say for a moment. All he could do was stare at her lips blankly.

While speaking, she slowly stretched her hand towards his clothes and undressed him smoothly. Seeing Xu Xiang suddenly playing rogue, Mu Yucheng was stunned. He looked at her in disbelief, forgetting to stop her hands. When she took off his inner garment, he felt cold all over, and he came back to his senses.

Xu Xiang looked at his bare chest with admiration and said, "I didn’t expect you to look slender with clothes on, but you are actually sexy and muscular when you are naked."

She looked up at him, and said sincerely: "Mu Yucheng, your body is awesome."

Standing in front of her, Mu Yucheng blinked a few times in confusion, thinking: ’... Did she sexually harass me just now?’

While Mu Yucheng still doubting his eyes, Xu Xiang had already taken off the last piece of his clothing, and said, "Now go inside the bathtub before you catch a cold."

She helped the dazed Mu Yucheng into the bathtub, then walked towards the door. After opening the door, Xu Xiang turned to look at him and said, "Call me when you are done."

Leaving this sentence, she closed the door. Mu Yucheng sat in the bathtub, looking down at his naked body. After a long silence, he covered his flushed face with his hands, and the rapid heartbeat echoed in his ears.

He let out a shaky breath, and murmured in a low voice: "... It’s over... She must have realized that I liked her..."

Outside the room, Xu Xiang didn’t know that she made someone so embarrassed to ever face her again. While waiting for Mu Yucheng to take a bath, she closed her eyes and checked the weapons factory inside her space.

She had to check how many finished weapons there were. Because the weapons based on her latest weapon designs are not easy to make, so far, only ten weapons have been completed. Judging from the length of production time, the production results will take quite a long time to reach the target quantity.

Although Xu Xiang does not plan to use those weapons for the time being, she still has to prepare for the worst. What’s more, now that Mu Yucheng is seriously injured and her pressure has doubled.

In the past, she only needed to protect herself and survive. But now, she also has someone she wants to protect. To protect him, she needs to become stronger as soon as possible.

After she moved the other five newly made weapons to the warehouse, she first tended the crops and livestock, and then moved the finished products from the factory area to the warehouse area. After she finished all of this, she opened her eyes and realized that Mu Yucheng still hadn’t called her.

Thinking that he might have passed out again, she knocked on the door and said, "Mu Yucheng, have you finished taking a bath?"

Inside the room, Mu Yucheng had already come out of the bathtub and was struggling to wipe his body. When he heard Xu Xiang’s voice from outside, he staggered and fell to the ground.

Thud! Crash!

"... Ugh."

Hearing the crashing sound coming from inside the room, Xu Xiang pushed open the door and rushed in. Her eyes fell on the shattered cup on the ground, and Mu Yucheng, who fell on the ground.

She hurried over to help him up and worriedly asked, "Why don’t you call me when you’re done? Don’t you know how to ask for help when you need it?"

Looking at her worried face, Mu Yucheng blushed when he remembered what happened before, and said, "I don’t want to trouble you."

Hearing what he said, Xu Xiang glared at him and asked, "What do you mean? So you think that I think you are a problem for me? In your eyes, am I such a person?"

"I didn’t mean that... I’m sorry." Seeing the pain flashing in her eyes, his voice slowly disappeared.

Xu Xiang snorted, helped him sit on the bed, quickly cleaned the bathtub and the broken cups on the floor, and then stretched out her hand to him.

"Give me the towel. I will help you dry your hair." She said calmly.
