She'd already closed her eyes and turned away.
But…
Her mind was still filled with the scene.
It was a strange and foreign feeling that surged from the depths of her bones.
Sudden and involuntary.
She tensed up. Mu Xichen turned around slightly and held onto her hand that was covering his eyes.
Li Beinian was startled by his move and looked at him.
It was dim and she could only see his face, but she couldn't tell that Mu Xichen's face was redder than usual.
"Pull me up." His voice was deep and hoarse, with a hint of tension.
Li Beinian did not notice the difference and frowned. "Lie down! Don't move about!"
But Mu Xichen managed to sit up once he exerted some force and pulled her hand for support.
His gaze landed directly on her once he sat up.
Li Beinian felt her head buzzing as her cheeks flushed. "Don't look at me!"
