Married to his secret crush

Mu Shen stepped out of the closet with his eyes closed as he raised his hands in surrender, ''I'm not a pervert. I swear!"

Li Shuang looked at the man who had mud all over his face. Ripped jeans, black shirt, dark shades settled above his striking reddish-brown hair. "Get out," She coldly said with the vase in her hands pointed at the man.

''I really am not a pervert."

"Get out!"

"Woman, you will regret this," Mu Shen opened his eyes as he looked at Li Shuang who had her back pressed against the glass pane as she glanced at him coldly. A beautiful face indeed. Fresh, beautiful, and cold!

The corner of his tugged up. Since he was already trapped here, it was better to make it worth his while.

"Wait for me, darling," He quickly entered the bathroom with his self-confidence reaching the sky. He was sure as long as he washed his face, this cold girl will be a kitten ready to pounce on him.

Li Shuang glanced at his retreating back before looking at the vase in her hand, for once regretting not learning self-defense.

It did not take long for Mu Shen to come out with his face properly cleaned as he stood near the door with a typical protagonist's face with one of his hands extended towards Li Shuang. He was one hundred and one percent sure that she will be charmed within a second.

"Get out," Her voice was still cold.

"_"

The next morning.

Jun Zixuan glanced at the woman sleeping peacefully in his arms. Her back was pressed against the front of his body as her head was supported on his shoulder.

He wrapped his other arm around her waist before snuggling closer to her as his index finger drew circles on her waist through her satin robe.

"Uhh...." Yu Mei finally opened her eyes when her body clock worked up. Feeling ever so comfortable, she moved closer to the source of warmth beside her and rubbed her eyes with the back of her palm.

"Awake?" A hoarse yet deep voice sounded right beside her ear.

She stiffened, Her palm that was rubbing her eyes froze in its place as a weird shiver ran down her whole body. Her toes curled up as the memories of last night came crashing on her like the tip of the mountain after a landslide.

She wanted to act dead but it was so...So damn late for it. He won't remember it, will he? His alcohol tolerance was bad after all. Bracing herself for it, she reminded herself to think of the best and grabbed the hand that was wrapped around her waist before trying to remove it.

"No, it's better like this," He whispered beside her ear. She shivered and pressed her hand on her ear.

It was one of her sensitive spots for god's sake. Why did he have to speak there?

He raised his arm that was below her head and with one swift move, the hand on her waist moved as he turned her around so that she was lying atop him with their faces inches away.

Her dark eyes visibly widened as she rolled to the side and glanced at him, ''What are you doing?" She asked pulling the blanket to her neck.

She wasn't shy because she was wearing a conservative robe, but she could not be sure whether some part of her thighs or above would be visible given her ugly sleeping postures. The least she wanted was to embarrass herself any further.

"Morning," He pressed a soft kiss on her forehead as his hand sneaked inside the blanket, settling on her waist and dragging her back closer to himself again.

Her eyes widened. Every cell in her body screamed, jiggled like the bounciest jelly cake. She took a few breathes to calm herself down and glanced at him with all seriousness.

If he did remember anything about yesterday, then she would simply run away and ignore him forever rather than reminiscing the most embarrassing moments of her life at the sight of him again and again.

It was a big mistake on her part. Maybe she had been single for way too long or she simply needed a man. But it was ridiculously impulsive on her part to kiss Jun Zixuan, the man who has been her best friend in both lives.

He was drunk but she was not.

"About yesterday...."

"Did I cause some inconvenience to you yesterday? I was a bit drunk and I don't remember much," He interrupted her almost instantly when he noticed the change of expression in her eyes.

Trying to ignore me again? Impossible!

He did not why but one glance at her will give him the hint of the direction of her thoughts lately. He was getting to know every fiber of her like the back of his hand and he would not prefer it any other way.

"I..." He didn't remember anything! Her eyes lit up as she quickly shook her head, "I wanted to ask... Why did you come here?"

"I initially came to help you with your studies but I could barely control my alcohol from getting on my head."

"And why were you drunk?"

He hugged her tighter, burying his face in her neck, his lips grazing past her dark hair as his hold was almost melding their bodies in one, "It was because of Mu Shen. he asked me to drink," His hot breath slithering past the nape of her neck.

She stiffened, "C-Can you let go of me first? We don't have to talk like this," It was tough for her to get these words out but she did her best despite the rings of shocks flowing through her body.

"I want to hug you, can't I?" He whispered again.

And it was like a cat was scratching her heart. Dammit. She pressed her palms on his chest and pushed him away, "Men and women should have a proper distance between them."

His brown eyes stared at her intensely.
