So cold.
So comfortable.
For the past few years, due to her own vulnerability against the cold, she had carefully avoided touching, drinking, and eating anything cold. Even on the warmest day of summer, she did not dare to take a sip of ice water.
As she stood on the ground covered in ice-cold puddles of water, experiencing the refres.h.i.+ng rain falling on her, it extinguished the limitless heat from her body and felt very comfortable.
Ji Nuan stood on the balcony somewhat vacantly, welcoming the wind and rain. She closed her eyes and allowed her freshly showered body to be washed by the heavy rain once more. Her long hair scattered across her shoulder and she breathed in the wet and cold scent of the rain.
Inside the room, her phone rang. Ji Nuan paid it no mind, as though she did not hear anything. She opened her eyes slightly to watch this heavy storm, a hint of a smile on her lips.
Due to the heavy rain, she did not hear when Mo Jingshen returned and opened the room door.
She only noticed him when the man pushed opened the ceiling-to-floor windows behind her, causing a large noise.
Ji Nuan’s shoulders shrunk back subconsciously at the noise. She turned over, staring at the man’s upset expression with a blurred gaze.
“What are you doing?” The man’s voice was colder than the autumn rain.
Ji Nuan, who originally found the rain to be comfortable, trembled subconsciously in her heart.
She stared at him dazedly. Her lips had turned slightly pale from the rain: “Watching the rain, ah…”
With Ji Nuan’s current appearance, it could be argued that she had become more sober, but it could also be said that she had drunk too much. Her hair was completely soaked, and her drenched robe pressed icily and heavily on her body. The towel she had originally used to dry her hair now sat on her shoulders and was equally soaked while her face was covered in raindrops.
However, this sort of unexplainable slovenly appearance seemed to have wiped away the indifferent and arrogant mask she had been wearing for the past three years. It had taken the so-called outer sh.e.l.l of hers that claimed she ‘didn’t love,’ and the person who stood there vacantly now was the true her.
Ji Nuan tilted her head slightly. From the corner of her eyes, she saw that the man was carrying the things he had bought from the pharmacy. Who would have thought that the great Mo Jingshen would one day run out in the rain to buy medicine for someone? Even though he was also drenched, for some reason, her appearance seemed more sorry.
She couldn’t help a chuckle.
However, her laughter caused the man’s expression to turn even poorer.
A tight grip suddenly formed around her wrist. Before Ji Nuan could make any noise, she was hauled back into the room. He heavily shut the ceiling-to-floor windows, causing the curtains to be tossed back before it slowly floated back onto the ground.
“You just took a shower and you ran out to stand in the rain. Don’t you feel how cold the autumn rain in Jing City is? With your methods of self-torture, I doubt you’ll be able to board the plane tomorrow with the high fever that is sure to come.” The man held her wrist tightly and caused Ji Nuan to stagger forward. She almost fell into his embrace and barely stood firm. However, her weak legs and dizzy mind still caused her to sway a little. Thankfully, the man tightened his grip around her waist at the appropriate time, preventing her from falling down.
As she swayed, the force of his arm around her waist caused her entire body to s.h.i.+ft. The feeling of the world tilting on its axis returned. She narrowed her eyes and furrowed her brows but did not provide any explanation. She pursed her lips and tried to push him away.
If Ji Nuan’s complexion wasn’t frighteningly pale, Mo Jingshen would definitely have said even harsher words. However, he saw that the little woman was muddled and drunk to the point where she could not differentiate left from right, yet she insisted on pretending she was fine. With a heavy face, he brought her to the couch and tossed the medicine in his hands aside. He reached out to undo her soaked robe.
However, Ji Nuan was very sensitive. She abruptly reached out to grab the collar of her robe and struggled: “I’ll shower when I feel like showering! Haven’t you already bought the sobering medicine? I can take it myself! Leave!”
The man’s hands paused by her collar for an instant.
Ji Nuan’s heart was stifled by the wet and heavy sensation of the robe against her skin. She angrily raised her hands to hit and push him away. However, even when she used all her might, she felt that her strength barely counted for anything to the man. She raised her dazed eyes to glare at the man’s ink-black pupils” “You…”
“You can shower on your own? You can take the medicine on your own? If you can do that by yourself, three years ago, you wouldn’t have soaked in the tub for two days and two nights and almost lose your life. With what happened in the past, there’s no way I’ll leave before I watch you obediently take care of yourself. If you have the energy to be mad, why don’t you go take a hot shower!” As he touched her ice-cold skin, the man furrowed his brows and directly undid her robe.
Ji Nuan stubbornly held onto the opened the robe. As the man raised his hands to help her remove it, she struggled and lowered her head to bite him. However, she failed to bite anything and her eyes reddened in anger. She scolded in rage: “Mo Jingshen! You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Don’t take off my clothes… Did you forget what I said to you that day?”
The man did not pause in his actions. He found that her originally ice-cold skin was turning warm, and even burning hot, and suspected that her fever had begun when she first returned earlier. However, Ji Nuan continued hugging herself and stubbornly refused to let go. She kept hurling abuse and, at last, she even harshly scolded: “I said I don’t love you anymore… I don’t love you! Mo Jingshen! You’re not allowed to take off my clothes! I don’t love you! Scram…”
While she scolded him with even uglier words, the man abruptly hauled her before him with a large force. As she was about to continue with reddened eyes, he held the back of her head and kissed her.
The man’s scent accompanied by the fragrance of the evening rain surrounded her. Unlike the usual, simple kiss, he forced her lips apart and invaded her. His kiss was deep, heavy, and intimate. Ji Nuan’s mind was already numb from the alcohol, and it immediately came to a halt. She was startled in the man’s embrace before finally biting him heavily. She took advantage of the small gap between them to struggle to say: “I don’t… uu!”
Even her tongue was taken hostage. Ji Nuan’s nerves trembled. She raised her leg to kick him but her robe was too heavy. As she was only wearing a pair of indoor slippers, her kick was barely effective.
Instead, the man tightened his grip around her waist, as though he was trying to press her into his own body. When Ji Nuan tried to kick him again, he harshly bullied her lips and brought her around to push her back onto the couch—
