Chapter 1042: I Want to Hold Your Hand All My Life
The door wasn’t open. Mo Liuxi was trying to take off his s.h.i.+rt. His back was to the door. One of his sleeves was cut off. His injured arm was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze and wasn’t able to bend. He tried pretty hard but failed to take off the s.h.i.+rt, gasping for air by the end.
“Don’t move. Let me do it.” Yan Su hurriedly went over to him.
She’d watched his arm be st.i.tched back together and could imagine how painful that had been.
Mo Liuxi turned. His bare chest was right in front of her face.
Yan Su was shorter than him, so all she saw was his nipples.
The faint scent of blood mixed with the smell of disinfectant and the manly scent from his body. It went straight into her nose.
Her brain was blank for a few seconds.
His chest wasn’t strange to her at all.
That morning, she’d woke up on that chest.
However, she hadn’t expected to be so close to his chest that day. Her cheeks blushed instantly. Somehow, she felt thirsty.
Mo Liuxi lowered his head, looking at her red cheeks. He smiled, pretending not to see anything.
Yan Su took a few deep breaths, then raised her head. She held his s.h.i.+rt and gently took it off for him.
He turned around to cooperate with her. This time, she saw his wide shoulders, beautiful back, and waist. The perfect line of his waist disappeared into his pants, giving out a vague, abstinent vibe.
“Are you gonna wear this pajama top?” Yan Su spotted a pajama top on the bed and walked over to pick it up.
He held her hand and stopped her.
“I’m not wearing it now. I want to take a sponge bath first. I spent a whole night in the hospital. I feel so dirty now,” said Mo Liuxi.
Yan Su paused briefly, then turned and found her hand holding his.
Mo Liuxi not to have realized that until that moment. He didn’t let her go but pulled her closer to him. He looked down at her face with a warm smile. “I want to hold your hand all my life.”
Yan Su wasn’t prepared for that. She dropped her eyes, not daring to look at his face. Her heart was pounding.
“Relax, I saved you, but I won’t use that as an excuse to force you to be my girlfriend.” Mo Liuxi let go of her hand and tucked the lock of flyaway hair near her temple behind her ear.
His fingertips brushed her skin. It was burning hot.
He pretended not to feel it and continued talking. “I helped you because I was angry when I saw that man treat you like that. I was also surprised when I heard you argue with Mr. Jia. I learned something new about you. You are tough when you need to be, and you have principles you stick to. You’ll never give up on your bottom line. Su, I can’t believe that I fell for you, such a wonderful girl.”
Hearing his compliments, Yan Su dropped her head lower and lower. Her head was nearly against his chest.
If a girl’s body temperature could go high enough to cook herself, she would already be cooked.
She told herself that she could not stay in his room or she might not have the strength to resist what he would probably do next.
However, before she could say a word, Mo Liuxi carried on. “I really regret being too cold to you before. I was too proud. If I’d fallen in love with you earlier, I’d be able to be nicer to you. Not like now. I want to pursue you, to be nice to you, but my hand is disabled…”
He sighed regrettably.
“Don’t say that…” Yan Su calmed herself down, then raised her head to look at him in the eyes.
“Don’t say that? What should I say then? Did you just give me permission to be nice to you?” Mo Liuxi chuckled.
