Chapter 37 - 35: If You Need It, I Can

Listening to the one person and one bird’s conversation, the man narrowed his dark eyes slightly, casting a sidelong glance at Yun Ran. He originally thought that he already became a beastly philanderer without doing anything, and if he really couldn’t resist doing something, wouldn’t that little one chase him to the ends of the earth? But now... Heh... The man stretched out his long arm, abruptly pulling Yun Ran into his embrace. Before she could react, he yanked the quilt over her, wrapping her up once, twice, thrice, and then with a swift flick of his hand, he pushed her down. His movements were too fast, happening in the blink of an eye, and Yun Ran’s hands were tightly wrapped by the quilt, unable to move. She rolled over to the corner of the wall, glaring at Nangong Mo in shock and anger. "Hey! What are you trying to do? Don’t act recklessly!" Nangong Mo glanced at the girl’s somewhat tense face, gave a slight cold snort, lay down, closed his eyes, and went to sleep. Yun Ran: "???" That’s it? He just fell asleep like this? Mysteriously tying her up like this without a word of explanation? Nangong Mo felt the girl’s gaze, didn’t open his eyes, just raised his eyebrow slightly, "Why are you staring at me without sleeping?" [I wish I could use my mind to turn you into a dog!] [Tying my hands like this, is it because you’re afraid I’ll unleash my primal instincts and assault you?!] [Such a petty mind! Am I that kind of person? Hmph!] [Ran, you have to believe in yourself, you really would.] [...Go away quickly.] [Now if you roll once, you’ll certainly roll into his arms, want me, this Immortal Bird, to lend you a helping hand?] Upon hearing this, Yun Ran silently glanced at Nangong Mo. If she really rolled over, she might be slapped against the wall by him... "I’ll sleep right away. Goodnight, gentleman, sweet dreams." Vaguely, she heard the man snort coldly. Yun Ran silently rolled her eyes at him, found a comfortable position to lay on her side, yet couldn’t fall asleep. So, by the soft light of the Luminous Pearl at the bedside, she quietly watched the man sleeping next to her. With his eyes closed, he lost a bit of the arrogance and coldness of the day, his long eyelashes akin to palm leaf fans, casting a faint shadow on his picturesque features, exuding endless allure in the enchanting night. Watching him, Yun Ran, as if bewitched, unconsciously reached out her hand, her fingertips gently brushing his eyelashes, sliding past the bridge of his nose, and landing on those enticing thin lips. [Such a nice feel!] Just as Yun Ran finished her sigh of admiration, a low, cold, charming voice suddenly resounded in her ear: "Lin Wanyue, do you not want your claws anymore?" "???" "!!!" Yun Ran awoke from her dream, retracting her hand at the fastest speed in her life and hiding it under the quilt. Oh my God! What had she done! How did she end up infatuated! [It’s all his fault for being so good-looking! Beauty is misleading!] "Gentleman, it’s all a misunderstanding. I just saw a mosquito on your face and intended to shoo it away for you..." "Now in the winter months, where are the mosquitoes? Did you turn into one?" Yun Ran: "..." [Who would turn into a mosquito! If anything, I’d turn into a dog and bite you to death.] The man suddenly turned over, lying on his side facing her. Yun Ran held her breath, feeling somewhat guilty, she stared at him without blinking, fearing he might suddenly slap her to death for the slight and disrespect she had shown him... "Lin Wanyue." "Here!" "If you don’t sleep well, do you want me to do something?" "..." This, really not... "Gentleman, I..." "Although there are many rumors, if you need, I can." Yun Ran: "???" What? What did he say? What can he do?!
