The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 971 - 970. She fears nothing

"Tiantian should have prepared some clean clothes for you. Later, take a dip in the hot springs to ease the fatigue. I’ll step out for a bit... What would you like to drink?"

The place they stayed in was a suite, with both a master bedroom and a secondary bedroom, while the hot spring was isolated separately, not following the same path as the bathroom.

Jing Yu considerately gave her time, and even before stepping out, he reminded her several times as if he didn’t know that Tang Shu was an actress who runs around acting everywhere.

"Orange juice, please. I’d like it with ice."

Tang Shu, who already felt hot from walking around for so long, felt even hotter after hearing these sentences.

"...Only a little ice though."

Jing Yu compromised, standing at the door and gazing at her for a moment before leaving a kiss on her forehead right before he closed the door.

***

The next day, when Tang Shu woke up, she felt incredibly light.

This was the advantage of soaking in the hot springs, indeed it had been a long while since she last soaked in a hot spring, and in Damo’s suburb of the capital, Tang Sect had a hot spring resort.

She stretched lazily, and with her head tilted, glanced at her phone. The screen prominently displayed 6 AM.

It was early, especially for winter.

Wearing her pajamas, she sat up, her hair falling loose as she moved. Tang Shu quietly put on slippers and opened the master bedroom door, only to find a big lump under the blanket on the bed in the connected secondary bedroom.

Oh, he’s still not awake?

A bit curious.

With the lightest speed in her life, Tang Shu slowly moved towards the big bed. As she approached, the person on the bed became visible, revealing Jing Yu’s sleeping face.

With his eyes closed, he looked gentler than usual, and even the sharpness that was often in his features was gone. There was no sign of aggression, and Tang Shu was surprised to find his eyebrows were much thicker than most people’s, which made his features more pronounced.

Before she could reach out to poke him, the voyeur felt a hand around her waist followed by a whirl, and before she knew what was happening, Jing Yu had pulled her onto the bed.

"What are you trying to do?"

A hoarse voice came from above her head, seemingly with a hint of intriguing meaning.

Tang Shu blinked, doubting her own skills, wondering why she hadn’t noticed that he was awake? His breathing had been even and steady throughout!

"You were pretending to be asleep?"

Cheng Ranran’s motto, when you’re unaccountable, you must find a way to push the fault to the other party, diverting the topic to remain undefeated.

Jing Yu was unusually speechless, his hand on her waist loosened slightly, then he pulled the blanket over the person in his arms, wrapping her up.

"Like you, I just woke up."

There were only two people in the room, and only a wall between them. Honestly, Jing Yu hadn’t slept well that night, since staying together with his girlfriend was a new experience for him.

"I don’t believe you. You don’t look like you just woke up at all."

"Miss Tang, do you know what time it is now?"

"...6 o’clock."

Alright, 6 AM. Even working people rarely wake up at this time.

Tang Shu felt unusually guilty for a moment, "Did I wake you up?"

"Hmm, it’s still early, let’s sleep a bit more."

Jing Yu closed his eyes again, his hand on her waist tightened, wrapping her tightly.

Tang Shu: "..."

Wait, things shouldn’t be like this; she had clearly already woken up— but why does she need to sleep again now? And even changed to another bed!

"Stay with me, close your eyes for a while."

"..."

Alright, since you brought me here to have fun.

Tang Shu stayed silent for a moment before also closing her eyes.

She originally planned just to lie quietly for a while, but it didn’t take long before she actually fell asleep. By the time she woke up again, it was already bright outside, making the room also look brightly lit and pristine.

At this moment, Jing Yu was leaning on a pillow with his upper body, holding a book in his hands and reading, right beside her.

She was momentarily confused, her eyes dazed for a moment until she saw the person in front of her and remembered her current situation.

Jing Yu put away the book, his gaze intently following.

"Hungry?"

"Not yet, what time is it?"

"Nine o’clock, it’s still snowing outside, I’ve asked the front desk to deliver breakfast."

Under his gaze, Tang Shu subconsciously burrowed into the blanket, it was just a reflex, and she felt a bit speechless when she realized what she had done.

What is she even doing, why hide, is it necessary? It’s not like she insisted on coming here, wait... was she a bit scared just now?

Impossible, she fears nothing!

The self-proclaimed fearless person did not realize that the distance between the two was getting closer, bringing them within inches of each other, followed by a sensation of an invisible pressure coming from above.

"???"

Tang Shu slightly raised her head intending to check something, but this movement precisely made her meet his leaning kiss.

"..."

Unknowingly, Jing Yu’s hand had clasped hers, firmly and with a dominating tightness, reducing the distance between them to zero.

This was not the first time they had close contact with each other.

However, Tang Shu felt completely different this time; if the last time at the entrance of Palm Pavilion Villa was baffling, this instance carried an overwhelming aura so commanding it made her feel numb all over, even her hair ends felt it.

Jing Yu could hardly hold back anymore.

He originally thought having someone in his arms might help him sleep better, but the reality drove him even crazier. When the person next door sneakily moved close with an action not easily noticeable three hours ago, his heart started thumping wildly.

However, pulling her into his arms made his senses even sharper. When the girl closed her eyes as he requested, and the scent of shampoo and shower gel mixed and wafted into his nostrils, his already irritable heart became even more rattled.

No, calling it frenzied would be more appropriate.

When Tang Shu’s steady breathing reached his ears, Jing Yu opened his eyes, sighed painfully, and gazed at the person in his arms, silent.

The presence of the person in his arms was too intense, intense to the point where ignoring it was difficult; he couldn’t sleep at all now, not even the tranquility of simply closing his eyes and resting.

The instant the girl reopened her eyes, she completely failed to notice his entire tense demeanor holding the book.

Especially since she blinked at him with such bewilderment!

Oh God! Jing Yu felt that she must have been born to torment him.

What sickness had he come down with earlier that made him pull her over, only to end up suffering himself? Maintaining his usual calm, he asked her a question, but she still maintained a confused state, causing Jing Yu’s last bit of self-control to collapse instantaneously.

Like a tightly stretched string, finally unable to bear the burden and snapping in the middle.
