Chapter 50: “Tie you to my pants and take you away.”

Chen Xiang’s face flushed. She was in the same place, so why couldn’t she fall asleep? She didn’t speak, her eyelashes trembling, and after a while, she heard Liao Jun’s even breathing. Whenever she moved, she thought of getting up, but his arm around her waist suddenly tightened, holding her closer.

Chen Xiang thought he was awake and raised her head to look at him. In the moonlight from the window, she could see his eyes were closed, still in a deep sleep.

Staring at Liao Jun’s face for a while, she, who was usually shy to make eye contact with him, dared to openly gaze at his face while he was asleep.

Liao Jun had a rugged appearance, with thick eyebrows, a straight nose, and stubble around his lips, showing his masculinity. He slept shirtless, revealing his strong chest and abdominal muscles. His long arms were wrapped around her waist, and compared to her fair skin, the contrast was striking.

Chen Xiang reached out to touch his face, but halfway there, she hesitated and withdrew her hand. After a while, she lightly touched his stubble with her index finger and then gently touched his lips.

She shrunk in his arms, her heart pounding because of her small actions. Worried about waking him up, Chen Xiang stopped moving after retracting her hand and stared at the man’s face, replaying every word Liao Jun had said in her mind.

—”I’m thirty this year, a bit older than you. Although my temper isn’t good, I’ll try to change in the future.”

—”Give it a try with me.”

Chen Xiang finished washing up before going to help. She first handed a towel to Liao Jun to wipe off his sweat, whispering, “You should rest, I’ll take care of it.”

Liao Jun took the towel and wiped his sweat, waving his hand at her. “I’m not tired. You go rest; the sun is scorching.”

Grandma, who was washing radishes nearby, glanced at Liao Jun upon hearing his words.

Chen Xiang blushed slightly. She went to the chicken coop first, fetched four eggs, then picked and chopped radish leaves to feed the chickens.

After washing his hands, Liao Jun received a call. He had to go back to the club for something urgent. Chen Xiang was in the kitchen cooking when he decided to leave, so she came out to see him off.

“Aren’t you coming with me?” Liao Jun asked her.

Chen Xiang shook her head.

“Okay, I’ll come find you after I finish my work.” Liao Jun walked towards the car, then remembered something and turned back. “If someone bullies you, call me, understand?”

Chen Xiang obediently nodded.

After taking a few steps, Liao Jun turned back again, still worried. “If someone bullies you, make sure to fight back. If something happens, I’ll take care of it, got it?”

Chen Xiang hesitated for a moment but still nodded obediently.

Liao Jun was about to reach the car door when he turned back once more. “Damn it.”

He reached out and pulled Chen Xiang into his arms, his breath scorching.

“I really want to tie you to my pants and take you away, damn it.”
