Seeing Gong Yu acting strange, Yun Muxi snapped out of it temporarily. Suddenly, Gong Yu"s words echoed in her ear, "I"ll let you go! I will only let go of you when I die!"
When Yun Muxi finally thought of what Gong Yu could possibly do, she panicked immediately and dashed towards him.
At this time, Gong Yu had both hands resting on the balcony railing. His back view looked very pathetic.
Yun Muxi rushed forward and hugged his st.u.r.dy body really tightly. She was afraid that he would jump down the next second.
Yun Muxi"s heart was beating wildly, it was on the verge of jumping out of her mouth. She used all her strength to hold onto Gong Yu firmly. Her fingers were turning white because of the strength she was exerting. Sweat was falling down her forehead and the back of her shirt was soaked wet.
Gong Yu"s aura was suffocating her and it made her panic even more. Her voice trembled as she pleaded, "Gong Yu, please don"t do anything stupid! Please..."
Gong Yu"s soft gentle words floated to her ears like clouds. "Huh? Stupid thing? The stupidest thing I"ve ever done is to fall completely in love with you. The stupidest thing I"ve ever done is to think about you only and not let anyone else into my life. The stupidest thing I"ve ever done is to make you my everything and chase you all the way here and lose myself completely! Is there anything more stupid than these?"
Yun Muxi could not contain her tears anymore. They fell from her eyes onto Gong Yu"s shirt and made its mark.
At this moment, her heart was filled with pain. It was all pain from feeling sorry for Gong Yu. Just like what he said, ever since they met, Gong Yu had given all of his love to her. Apart from that specific pain that she could never forget, he had only been good to her for the rest of the time.
Gong Yu doted on her, let her be reckless, let her make a mess... he even went against the whole world to protect her and her smile.
Yun Muxi felt like a jerk. What was the point of rejecting this man? Why bother feeling so complicated? However, that distance drawn by that painful incident could never be erased. Yun Muxi struggled deeply.
She sobbed, "I"m sorry! Gong Yu, I"m sorry!"
"Xiao Xi, you know that those are the words I never want to hear from you! I never want to hear you apologize to me or thank me!"
"Gong Yu, please! Don"t do anything stupid, as long as you don"t do anything stupid, I"ll listen to whatever you say! Just please, don"t do stupid things..."
"Huh. Xiao Xi, I"m really tired. I don"t want to go on like this. I want to be free. Once I"m free, it won"t hurt anymore."
"No, Gong Yu, no!"
Yun Muxi pulled him back with all her strength and it caused both of them to fall back onto the balcony floor. While that happened, Gong Yu did not forget to pull her into his embrace such that the impact was on him only.
Their eyes found each other"s and they were both in shock.
Gong Yu"s handsome visual could not conceal the pain shown on his face. It hurt her eyes deeply. Suddenly, she felt her eyes became watery and tears fell gently onto her lips.
When that soft lips touched that cool lips, Gong Yu"s negativity vanished.
Yun Muxi closed her eyes and pressed their lips together again...
Just as they were deep in their kiss, Yun Muxi"s phone started ringing.
Gong Yu could not help but to furrow his brow and glance at the faraway bag. He grabbed her arm and would not let go. He wanted to continue the kiss.
Yun Muxi stretched out her hand and blocked his lips with her finger. She explained awkwardly, "I... my phone rang."
Gong Yu could not care less. "So what?"
"I"ll go answer it." She said, as if she was asking for permission.
However, Gong Yu refused to let her go. He cried in pettish defiance, "No!"
Yun Muxi felt helpless and tried to talk him into it. "Gong Yu, don"t do this! Maybe it"s really urgent, maybe it"s Niannian."
Although he was really unhappy with the disturbance, he still let go of her and even helped to pull her up.
Yun Muxi quickly ran to her bag. It was indeed a call from Niannian. She cleared her throat and answered, "h.e.l.lo? Sweetheart!"
As she spoke, she glanced at the unhappy Gong Yu.
At the other end of the phone came a tender and sweet voice. "h.e.l.lo? Mommy, when will you be back? I"m so sleepy but I have to wait for you to come back and took me to bed."
Yun Muxi stole a glance at Gong Yu who was staring at her. Her voice was as gentle as it can be and was filled with warmth. "Niannian, be a good girl, mommy will be home soon! Please wait a little while more!"
Niannian became happy immediately and replied sweetly, "Okay! Please be quick, mommy. I"ll be waiting for you at home."
A sweet smile hung from the corner of Yun Muxi"s lips. "Okay! I love you, sweetheart, muacks!"
After Yun Muxi hung up, Gong Yu questioned with a tint of unhappiness, "You"re leaving?"
Her decision was firm as she was really worried about Niannian. "Gong Yu, Niannian is waiting for me at home, I have to go back immediately!"
Gong Yu immediately turned into a child. "What if I don"t let you go?"
Yun Muxi felt helpless. "Gong Yu, Niannian is waiting for me before she goes to bed, it"s not good for kids to sleep too late! So..."
Gong Yu lowered his eyes and tugged at her sleeve. Full of reluctance, he said, "Then you come back later!"
Yun Muxi did not even think about it and rejected him directly. "I don"t think I should leave her alone at home. It isn"t safe."
Gong Yu seemed to have finally given in. He sighed, "Alright then, go!"
Yun Muxi was finally relieved and quickly ran back home.
When she opened the door, Niannian was waiting for her worriedly on the sofa. She was so tired she could not stop yawning. Gu Yuxuan was telling her a bedtime story. Seeing Yun Munxi enter the door, Niannian"s face lit up instantly and she pounced towards her. "Mommy! You"re finally back! I"m so sleepy!"
Little Cutie also came running from its bed and wiggled its tail excitedly while circling around Yun Muxi. Gu Yuxuan came over and took her bag while saying with a sweet smile, "Xiao Xi, you"ve worked so hard recently! You must be tired, rest early!"
A layer of guilt filled her heart instantly. Everyone was waiting for her to come home, but she was with Gong Yu doing...
Yun Muxi smiled brightly. "Thank you, Xuanxuan! I"m sorry for causing you go home so late!"
"What are you talking about? There"s no need to thank me! I felt pitiful for you, having to work the whole day and take care of Niannian when you come home. You seemed to be very busy recently."
"Yea, the production team delayed for quite some time so now we"re trying to catch up. We"re really busy recently."
"If that"s the case, why not I bring Niannian with me to stay at my place for a few days? You"ll be too tired to take care of her anyways and I"ll save time traveling."
Yun Muxi thought about it and nodded, "Okay! It"s too late, let Niannian sleep first. I don"t have work tomorrow, I"ll take care of her. Come fetch her the day after!"
After their discussion, Gu Yuxuan went home. Yun Muxi read a bedtime story to Niannian and tucked her into bed.
She went to get ready for bed herself. Just as she was about to get into bed, the doorbell suddenly rang. Yun Muxi felt puzzled and when she opened the door, she saw Gong Yu standing there.
Gong Yu had just taken a shower and his hair was still dripping wet. A few strands of hair stuck onto his forehead and he looked extremely s.e.xy and attractive.
Yun Muxi asked, "It"s late. Why are you here?"
He ignored her question and made his way into her room. Closing the door, Yun Muxi asked again, "What are you doing?"
"I"m sleeping here tonight!"
Yun Muxi frowned and argued, "I don"t think that"s a good idea!"
Gong Yu raised his brows and asked, "You"re not afraid of me doing stupid things?"
Thinking back about his rash act just now, fear struck her again. She nodded, "Fine, you can sleep here, but we have to make some rules. First, you can only sleep on the sofa and is not allowed to enter my room! Second, you can"t sprout nonsense to Niannian, behave yourself. Third, Niannian is here, so you have to be mindful of your actions and words. Close the door when you"re using the bathroom. I"ll add on when I think of more!"
Then, she went into her bedroom and retrieved a set of clean blanket and pillow. She laid his bed for him on the sofa. Because of her child, Yun Muxi deliberately chose a wide sofa which makes it easier for Niannian to play on. Hence, the sofa was big enough to accommodate Gong Yu"s large built, although it was still a little squeezed.
After laying the bed, Yun Muxi stood up and said quietly, "Ok, sleep early! You have to go to the set tomorrow."
Suddenly, Gong Yu"s big hands pulled Yun Muxi into his embrace from behind. Resting his head on her shoulder, he could smell her unique feminine scent. Being as greedy as he was, he started to suck on her neck with his lips.
Yun Muxi instantly felt electricity flowing through her limbs. She cried out softly, "What are you doing? Niannian is here!"
Gong Yu"s lazy voice traveled to her ear. "Oh, so you"re saying we can do it if she"s not here?"
Embarra.s.sed, Yun Muxi defended herself. "You know that"s not what I meant!"
"Oh? Then what did you mean?"
"I... I mean, we can"t do this."
"Why not?"
"Gong Yu, can you don"t put me in a bad spot?"
"A bad spot? If you"ve known earlier then you wouldn"t provoke me!"
"But just now I was desperate and didn"t have enough time to think through..."
"Oh? So you"re saying that you can be irresponsible in that situation? Then I"m also desperate now."
Gong Yu stopped arguing with her. He swiftly clamped his hand behind her head and brought her lips to his. He turned all words into a gentle and sweet kiss. Yun Muxi had forgotten all about abstinence and let herself drown in his gentleness...
Gong Yu whispered softly in her ear, "Xiao Xi, let"s be together forever, okay? No more hurting, my heart cannot withstand that pain, if not I might really die."
Gong Yu"s voice was as soft as feathers, like a small breeze blowing past her ear. Yun Muxi drowned in that feeling, sealed herself from the world and nodded her head. She had no idea what she had just agreed to.
