Late at night, when everything was quiet, Ruan Li took a comfortable hot bath and flopped onto the bed, feeling all limp and relaxed.
Her mind, which was initially a jumbled mess, felt revitalized after an hour in the bathroom.
Ruan Li let out a long, contented sigh and rolled around on the soft, fluffy blanket.
"Eh? Why does it feel different?"
Why is this bed so uneven?
She raised her hand and patted the slightly raised spot on the blanket, puzzled.
Something’s not right... give it another pat.
Was there a living thing under the blanket? This shocking realization instantly jolted her already relaxed mind.
She sat dumbfounded on the edge of the bed, her brain frozen.
Until she saw a slightly disheveled red-haired handsome guy lift the corner of the blanket, looking at Ruan Li with sleepy eyes: "Quit touching around."
How did a man end up sleeping under her blanket!
Ruan Li’s eyes widened. Wanting to retreat, she fell back onto the bed: "Xu Mo, why are you on my bed!"
The man hesitated for a moment: "Oh, this is your bed?"
He rubbed against the pink cat pillow, his narrow foxy eyes comfortably squinting: "Just staying for the night, hope you don’t mind?"
Seeing how naturally friendly he was acting, Ruan Li, after a second of shock, resolved to reclaim her sole right to her bed.
She grabbed the blanket and yanked it fiercely backward, not expecting Xu Mo to suddenly loosen his grip.
Ruan Li screamed and shut her eyes.
Society has really gone downhill! Shameless! Doesn’t uphold male virtues!
He was actually on her pink, puffy bed, wearing only gray shorts!!
She could even vaguely discern the shape!
The sturdy room door was kicked open, raising a cloud of dust. Content originally comes from novelꞁire.net
"Ruannuan, what’s wrong?" Hearing the scream, Shi Jue immediately dashed from his room, even kicking open the door.
Hence, he saw Xu Mo, this flamboyant fox, lying naked on the bed like a treasure, showing a displeased look at being disturbed.
Ruan Li had only shut her eyes for a moment, but now she dared not close them, fearing something too vivid and dreamy would appear when she closed them again.
"Xu Mo, when did you climb onto my bed? I distinctly remember locking the door." Ruan Li, with her face flushed red, looked down, staring at the petal on the blanket.
Xu Mo propped up his body, his toned physique shamelessly displayed in the air.
With a smile on his lips, and a faint teardrop mole enhancing his allure, yet his seductive gaze was wasted on the blind.
"When I passed by your room, I saw the door half open, thinking you forgot to close it. Not only did I come in to lock it for you, but I also stayed, worrying you might be scared alone.
Didn’t expect you’d be angry."
Ruan Li wanted to argue but habitually looked up and saw the bright, beautiful body, quickly averting her gaze, her face flushed: "Put on your clothes first!"
Xu Mo stood up, picked up the scattered robe from the floor, and casually tied it around himself, "Is it okay now."
Ruan Li tentatively glanced back, only to still catch sight of the open neckline exposing almost the entire chest, adding a veiled allure due to the layer of fabric.
Have to admit if he went into modeling, he would definitely be top-tier.
"Xu Mo, go back to your own room. In the future, without my permission, don’t enter my room." Ruan Li took a deep breath, seriously stated with a stern face.
"As you wish, Lady Ruannuan." Xu Mo replied playfully.
Ruan Li felt relieved to see he really intended to leave.
"Ruannuan, what happened just now?" The ignored Shi Jue spoke again, frowning, guessing the flamboyant fox must have done something excessive.
Ruan Li was puzzled. Didn’t Shi Jue witness the whole scene, why is he still asking her?
In the male beastman’s perception, climbing onto the female head’s bed was not shameful or strange. As long as the female head "approved," the male beastman needed to wash and slip into the bed to serve.
This "approval" usually involved intimate physical contact.
Therefore, Shi Jue also believed Ruan Li needed Xu Mo’s service tonight.
"It’s getting late, both of you go back to your rooms to sleep." Ruan Li also dismissed Shi Jue.
"Oh, okay," Shi Jue naturally retreated to the door, closing it behind him.
Click, the door automatically opened again.
With an apologetic look, Shi Jue peeked in: "I broke the lock with my kick, Ruannuan if you don’t mind, you can sleep in my room."
"No need, you go have a rest, find a time to fix the lock tomorrow morning."
Before the door fully closed, Ruan Li caught sight of Xu Mo’s profile as he chuckled lightly, gazing softly downward at her.
After the two left, Ruan Li quickly dragged the nightstand to block the door.
Returning to bed, seeing the other half of the bed with signs of use, she re-arranged the entire bedsheet with disdain.
"Whew..." She let out a long breath, happily burrowed into the warm, soft covers.
Perhaps it was the fatigue from today, she quickly fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
A dark, enticing fragrance lightly lingered around her nostrils.
On the way out, Shi Jue stopped Xu Mo: "What did you do to Ruannuan just now?"
Xu Mo raised an eyebrow, retorting: "What do you think I did to her?"
"How would I know what you did, only you know best what you did!" Even with a hint of anger, he kept his voice low, afraid of disturbing Ruan Li.
"Stop, I can’t be bothered to argue with you, you dumb lion.
Naturally, I did some duties I should do as a Beast Husband." Xu Mo smiled with a curve of his lips.
"But you, you also can’t do things that would make her unhappy." Shi Jue’s face was pale with anger, his hand beside him clenched tightly.
The smile in Xu Mo’s eyes gradually cooled: "Even if I did, so what, now you cherish her so much, have you completely forgotten how she treated you before?"
The golden curly hair seemed to droop slightly, emerald eyes downcast, pursing his lips for a moment, still stubbornly spoke: "None of your business."
"You can’t seriously believe her words, right? Maybe it’s just a new way to deceive you, making you completely devoted then crushing you harshly.
You know, she would do such things..."
Xu Mo lowered his voice, deep and hoarse yet with a hint of allure.
"Take care of yourself."
The last light in the corridor went completely dark.
The darkness instantly swallowed Shi Jue.
This place is really something, Zhe Ye re-adjusted his headphones, turning to a different sleeping position.
With only Level 1 Healing Ability, a female abandoned by her family, a lion with damaged superpowers, a flamboyant fox, and a mysterious crane.
Of course, he’s not simple himself.
Zhe Ye recalled the first glance Ruan Li gave him; she was clearly surprised, as if she saw someone familiar, but she called out another name. Could there be someone in this world who looks just like him?
