Chapter 218 - 220 【220】A Dangerous Aura 1
Because his shirt was wet, he unbuttoned it and then directly took it off.
Xia Xiaonuan awkwardly turned her head to wipe her body, her heart beating frantically.
She turned her head suddenly and saw Liang Shaochen with his bare upper body exposed to the air, his muscular physique on full display...
"Ah..." Xia Xiaonuan couldn’t help but let out a low scream.
Her scream made Liang Shaochen pause.
He looked at her with a few hints of surprise, then... an added touch of awkwardness.
"Sorry... Did I... Did I scare you?" He dried his body with a towel, smiling as he spoke.
Xia Xiaonuan’s face turned red, her ears turned red, and even her neck turned red.
She just shook her head desperately, like a tambourine.
Her gaze, however, involuntarily fixed on Liang Shaochen’s bare upper body... His skin was very fair, but not a sickly pale; it was a healthy milky white, not too fat or skinny. His chest muscles weren’t particularly prominent but you could see he was well-built. Plus, the two little strawberries on his chest...
He didn’t look as developed as Nangong Yaoling, who had a broad, hairy chest exuding wild arrogance. Instead, his presence added a touch of tender sensuality.
Xia Xiaonuan couldn’t force herself to look away.
Liang Shaochen felt a bit embarrassed under her gaze.
"I... I’d better put on my jacket..."
"No, no need!" Xia Xiaonuan realized her blunder and quickly turned her face away.
She blinked her large eyes, swallowed hard, and looked out the window saying, "I... I didn’t see anything..."
Liang Shaochen: ...
The man’s deep eyes fell on the girl’s pure and beautiful face, her red earlobes, red cheeks, and the look of embarrassment—all were captured by his eyes.
For some reason, an unusual feeling surged in Liang Shaochen’s heart.
His lower abdomen tightened instantly.
For some inexplicable reason, his body also felt a bit stiff.
His grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly, then he subconsciously pulled over the discarded shirt beside him and laid it over his legs...
When Xia Xiaonuan came back to her senses, Liang Shaochen had already returned to his usual self.
However, the hint of embarrassment and surprise in his eyes was something he could not figure out himself.
The car drove on the highway.
Xia Xiaonuan was safely delivered to the gate of Nangong Yaoling’s villa.
As she got out of the car, Liang Shaochen handed her his jacket: "Put this on, it’s a bit cold outside."
Xia Xiaonuan almost instinctively wanted to take it.
That jacket carried his scent.
It might also carry the scent of both of them.
Just a moment ago, in the heavy rain, he had covered both their heads with his jacket. That feeling was truly magical.
Very warm.
It made her think of her childhood.
When she went out to play with Nan Mo, and it rained, he would also take off his school uniform and cover both their heads, running back to the orphanage together.
At that time, Nan Mo would personally dry her hair and wrap her in his thick jacket.
But now, thinking back on those moments, it felt like a lifetime ago.
Yes, isn’t it like a different life?
She was no longer the Qiqi of her past life.
In this life, she was just Xia Xiaonuan.
No longer the Qiqi he held dearly in his heart.
Xia Xiaonuan’s hand, extended in midair, retracted abruptly.
She didn’t forget reality, didn’t forget her identity at this moment.
No matter how much she longed for it, she couldn’t touch that dream she had for more than ten years...
