Huo Yusen’s temperature was a bit low, and his skin felt as if it were a piece of fine jade. On the other hand, her fingers were warm and soft. When her thin and fair hands slid past the back of Huo Yusen’s ear, Huo Yusen reacted before he could think. He caught the hand behind his ear quickly.
Because what just happened was a bit too sudden, he was unable to control the amount of strength he used. As a result, Huo Wu fell onto him uncontrollably.
When Huo Wu fell down, she was a bit scared. Since one of her hands was held onto by Huo Yusen, her other hand subconsciously looked for something as support.
And as a consequence, she coincidentally placed her left hand onto Huo Yusen’s thigh.
So as of now, Huo Yusen was sitting on the bed. And as for Huo Wu, one of her hands was held onto tightly by Huo Yusen, while the other hand was firmly on Huo Yusen’s thigh.
Her body was slightly tilted forward and was positioned in-between his legs. It was as if she was about to kiss his chin.
Huo Wu was a bit shocked by what just happened.
After a while, she subconsciously lifted her head. And in the next second, she was looking into the deep and attractive dark eyes of Huo Yusen.
Huo Yusen’s eyes were dark and deep, as if there was an entire universe hidden in there, broad yet mysterious and unbounded, making her unable to pull away from his eyes.
It was as if she was going to drown in those beautiful and attractive eyes of his.
They continued staring at each other for a while as if they were unable to break eye contact with each other. It was only when Huo Yusen’s long eyelashes fluttered did Huo Wu realize what was going on.
Huo Wu hurriedly removed her hand from Huo Yusen’s thigh.
Huo Wu’s heart continued thumping hard even after she got off him as if her heart was going to jump out of her at any moment.
Her hands were also sweaty from the intense eye contact.
It was at this moment that Huo Wu realized that she was doomed.
She probably, maybe, or very likely had started having feelings for Huo Yusen.
There were actually already signs of this earlier on.
If it weren’t for her having feelings towards him and wanting him to be with her, then she wouldn’t have been so affected by not being able to participate in his past.
If it weren’t for her having feelings towards him, then she wouldn’t have been affected by Chu Xueyi’s love and affection towards him.
If it weren’t for her having feelings towards him, then she wouldn’t have the thought of being with him all the time.
If it weren’t for her having feelings towards him, then she wouldn’t have whined in front of him, nor would she have flirted with him intentionally or unintentionally.
All these signs proved that she had possibly, maybe, or very likely fallen in love with him. She truly had fallen in love with him.
Undoubtedly.
Her admiration towards him had already deviated from its original path during the times they spent with each other.
So she had already liked him this much after all this time.
But thinking about it from another point of view, Huo Wu thought that it was actually pretty reasonable for her to like Huo Yusen.
She had already known that he wasn’t her biological brother from the start; they had no relationship by blood at all.
He was handsome, attractive, young, and rich. He was as bright as a shining star, making people naturally pay attention to him.
In addition, he was the person who cared about her the most in her past life and her present life. So it was completely normal for her to end up liking him.
But, after realizing her feelings for him, Huo Wu was still a bit worried.
She knew exactly what had to happen for her to like Huo Yusen in the open: she had to reveal her identity.
But she can’t bet on it as of now.
She can’t predict what will happen after she reveals her real identity.
Her future might be better than the original owner of the body. Or, it might be worse.
She had been so lost in the warmth he gave her for the past months.
As a result, she had to be very careful in making every single decision. She might lose everything that she had currently if she made one wrong move, including the warmth that she had right now.
So, for now, she was too afraid to bet on it.
Huo Wu used the acting skills that she learned in her past and present life and adjusted her emotions with the fastest speed.
She blinked her eyes, refrained all the love from her eyes, and pushed down her desires to be with him.
She put her hands before her body and lowered her head. She then called Huo Yusen with a scared voice, as if she was a child who had done something wrong, “Big brother…”
Huo Yusen looked at Huo Wu for a moment, and his eyes became extremely complicated with unknown emotions.
He closed his eyes hard, massaged the area between his eyes, and was back to his normal calm self when he opened his eyes again.
“It’s getting late. You should sleep now.”
Huo Wu said, “Oh,” and quickly went back to her room after bidding him good night.
When she got back to her room, Huo Wu let herself fall onto the soft bed without any control.
