Chapter 372: You Help Me Put It On
Sure enough, Mu Jixue’s expression gradually darkened as she stared at the thing in Yun Zhonghe’s hand, hesitating for a while.
“Really, were you originally planning to make me a magical treasure?”
To everyone’s surprise, Mu Jixue didn’t immediately get angry like Yun Zhonghe expected; instead, she calmly questioned him!
What a reasonable girl!
Possibly due to the deep impression Mu Jixue had left on people, Yun Zhonghe still instinctively thought she would definitely be furious.
However, she was surprisingly gentle!
But Yun Zhonghe was in no mood to dwell on this. He knew that if he hesitated now, it might make Mu Jixue suspect his intentions. Thus, he quickly nodded and explained anxiously, “Of course! If you don’t believe me… actually, I asked Xiaoxiao to help me with the refining. Who could have predicted it would turn out like this.”
A look of enlightenment flashed across Mu Jixue’s face: “No wonder Xiaoxiao suddenly started refining tools. Did you teach her?”
Yun Zhonghe nodded: “Uh… it wasn’t formal teaching. I only provided some ideas and material support while she was refining.”
“Hmm…”
Mu Jixue gently responded, her tone carrying an inexplicable subtlety, as if hiding some subtle emotions.
Her eyes swept over the “robe” in Yun Zhonghe’s hand again, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly. She still found this “gift” too bizarre to accept.
But…
“Should I be more proactive?”
Mu Jixue thought silently, recalling what Lin Zhongyu had told her when she returned that day.
Yun Zhonghe missed what she said and looked puzzled: “Huh?”
Mu Jixue shook her head: “Nothing.”
She turned around, facing away from Yun Zhonghe, her feet rubbing lightly against a stone nearby in indecision.
Finally, she seemed to have made a decision and firmly sat down on the large rock.
Taking a deep breath, she tried to calm the turmoil in her chest, but her heart raced like an unbridled stallion, untameable. Her cheeks flushed, and a faint blush spread across her neck.
Glancing away, her voice barely audible: “If it’s a robe you meant for me (if this can even be considered a robe), shouldn’t you be putting it on for me yourself?”
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhonghe was stunned for two seconds.
The air seemed to freeze, even the wind paused.
Did he really hear that right?
After saying this, Mu Jixue immediately felt regret, wishing she could rewind time to scold herself for her impulsive comment.
Was she crazy or did someone hit her head? Why did she come up with such a preposterous idea!
Having Yun Zhonghe put on the robe himself?!
It was even more bizarre than Yun Zhonghe’s behavior with the robe!
What does it mean to be matched opponents? Maybe this is it.
Mu Jixue was close to tears inside. All she wanted was to get closer to Yun Zhonghe and create more beautiful memories together. In her desperation, she blurted out this ridiculous plan.
Mu Jixue was always direct and not one to plan things thoroughly. Often, whatever came to mind, she blurted out without hesitation. Her smooth brain certainly wasn’t suited for dealing with such a scene.
But once words were spoken, they couldn’t be taken back.
There was no turning back now, so she could only continue forward with determination.
Moreover…
She didn’t actually mind, and even craved some ambiguous interactions with Yun Zhonghe.
Mu Jixue’s mouth was dry. She struggled to remain composed and slowly raised one foot towards Yun Zhonghe, with a teasing touch.
At the same time, she made a calm expression on her pretty face and stuck out her little tongue, playfully taunting Yun Zhonghe with “lo lo lo.”
Cute and with just a bit of mischief.
Mu Jixue hummed softly, “What are you waiting for? Since it’s a robe you made for me, you should of course be the one helping me put it on, considering you need to show me how!”
Oh man!
If Lin Zhongyu saw this, she’d probably give Mu Jixue a thumbs-up.
If Su Xinghe saw, she’d likely jump with rage, absolutely determined to challenge her.
Disgraceful! To sacrifice her dignity just to seduce Yun Zhonghe!
Yun Zhonghe inwardly groaned. He thought to himself: How else can this robe be worn? Just put it on normally, for heaven’s sake.
But Yun Zhonghe kept his thoughts to himself and said nothing.
His gaze fell upon Mu Jixue’s perfectly white and smooth calf, and he swallowed hard.
Next, Mu Jixue witnessed Yun Zhonghe rapidly approaching with an undeniable aura of confidence.
His steps were steady, each landing as though echoing her heartbeat, causing her to stiffen in pretense. Her heart tightened sharply.
She even thought Yun Zhonghe might tackle her to the ground.
Tall and towering, Yun Zhonghe’s shadow shielded her small frame entirely.
She was too petite — he could probably lift her effortlessly, and her toes barely touched the ground.
Yun Zhonghe looked deeply into her eyes, slowly bending down and gently grabbing her calf tightly wrapped in white silk.
At that moment, Mu Jixue felt a current surge from her feet to her head. Her ears turned bright red, and she lost focus in her eyes, unable to look away.
She loved Yun Zhonghe so much, and now, her feelings were so clear and intense, almost overwhelming her!
Yun Zhonghe felt himself bewitched.
In the past, he would never let something like this happen with Huang Aotian, maintaining some distance to preserve their friendship.
Yet, the feelings today had become different… No, changed long ago!
He couldn’t resist and was swept away by the wave of emotions.
Especially when he gazed at her petite, silk-encased feet, his longing grew unstoppable, like wildfire.
He held her delicate feet firmly in his hands!
Mu Jixue felt Yun Zhonghe’s warm palm and her breathing quickened. Her waist naturally twisted slightly.
Under her bashful gaze, Yun Zhonghe had no hesitation and gently removed Mu Jixue’s boots.
Her delicate, dainty feet emerged in the air, visible through the thin white silk. Her tiny toes, curled in nervous tension, resembled rows of adorable candies, making them all the more appealing.
