Chereads / I'm Sorry! It's Not Me, Its You! / Chapter 8 - “I won’t fall for you.”

Chapter 8 - “I won’t fall for you.”

After finishing the takeout dinner, Yena withdrew into her room. She turned on the computer and surfed around for a while. There was nothing interesting so Yena started looking for clothing to put on after taking a shower.

Su Yena's wardrobe was just as organized as her computer, but when Yena was confronted with the pile of colorful women's clothing, it gave her a big headache. After hesitating over several sets of pink rabbit imprinted pajamas, Yena still felt she couldn't handle that cutesy style. And immediately pulled on a white T-shirt to sleep in.

Ethan 's room had its own private bathroom so Yena could comfortably use the outside bathroom. This put her more at ease. Yena removed all of her clothing. Her body was reflected clearly in the big mirror above the bathroom counter.

This was Yena's first time clearly seeing what she looked like now. She had to admit this Su Yena had a great body. She had big breasts, but not overly large, and they were nicely shaped. She had a small waist, at most 19 inches around. She had long, straight legs. Her skin was also very white. From top to bottom she was just right– slim yet not emaciated. With that cute elegant face, she definitely counted as a high-quality girl! Yena could only thank all the gods above.

Yena thought. 'Ah! This is the type body is what I've always dreamed about!

It was too bad the Heavens were too kind to her and granted her wish. Only, the wish-granted was kind of confusing. Did she transmigrate here permanently? Or does she have to go along the plot once she meets the female lead.

Yena couldn't stop admiring herself as she twisted and turned.

As she admired herself, Yena suddenly realized: Su Yena has a great face and body. What was she to do if Ethan Zhao started to like her after living together under one roof for a year? If that ever happened, would that guy forbid the divorce?

Yena started to worry after thinking of this. It wasn't easy for the two of them to have been in a fake marriage. It wasn't easy for him to have a release date. This kind of terrifying thing couldn't be allowed to happen! She does not want to see that face in this new life. She swore revenge for what happened to her in her first life. She will never repeat that mistake before. She will never fall for someone like him again.

Therefore, Yena finished her challenging shower and getting dressed then went over to knock on Ethan's door.

When the door opened, the first thing Yena saw was Ethan's bare chest.

Yena: "..."

Ethan had clearly only just finished showering; he had nothing on except for the towel wrapped around his waist. He dried his dripping hair with a towel as he lowered his head to look at the person standing in front of him. She was draped in dripping wet long hair that was just slightly disheveled. She had nothing on but a white T-shirt, already partially wet from her hair. Her lithe and graceful figure was faintly discernible under the T-shirt. He didn't have to look closely to clearly assess that she wasn't wearing a bra.

A dim light glinted in Ethan's eyes, and, yet, he frowned slightly, "What's up?"

Naturally, Yena was unaware of this problematic image. Her head was filled with a sexy view right now! 'Ah! I couldn't tell when Ethan was clothed! Why is it that when he undresses, his body is so impressive? Those biceps! Those pecs!! Those eight-pack abs!!! It's enough that he has that kind of face too, yet he was given such a great body too! '

Yena's gaze followed the path of a droplet of water that slid from Ethan's hair, all the way down his neck, his chest, and then his abdomen.

Yet when Ethan saw all this, it gave off a different impression. He saw the little girl in front of him staring at his body with wide eyes. Her gaze meandered south, finally stopping at his abdomen. Yet her little face slowly reddened.

After having lived under one roof together for so long, this was the first time Ethan had a difficulty breathing.

Consequently, his voice lacked the usual indifference and carried a faintly discernible gentleness, "Yen Yen?"

Yena actually wanted to reject this nickname, but when she thought they had to play act at being deeply in love in front of others, she felt it would be bad if they didn't get into the habit and accidentally had a slip of the tongue. Plus, 'Yen Yen' was much better than 'wife' or 'wifey' so she did her best to endure the explosion of Goosebumps. Yena looked up. As she silently ridiculed–Does Ethan have to be so prince-like?–she said, "I have something to say to you."

"Say it."

Yena looked straight at Ethan. "I just had a thought. We are in a contract marriage and destined to break up. Shouldn't we promise each other that we definitely won't fall in love with one another?"

Ethan didn't speak immediately.

Yena yelled in her heart: Look! Look! This guy really isn't a good guy. Fortunately, I realized this early enough and nipped it in the bud just in time...

"I won't fall for you."

Yena froze.

Ethan calmly added, "So you can relax."

sh*t! This was clearly the answer I wanted, but why is it that hearing Ethan express it has puts me in a bad mood?

Yena extremely angrily said, "You better remember what you've just said!"

Ethan nodded, "Alright."

Yena was oddly even more out of sorts. Anyway, she'd already gotten the answer she'd wanted. Yena didn't want to hang around and get more upset so hse didn't speak further, only turned around and hopped away.

"Ouch! Ah!"

Yena hadn't even hopped two steps before stumbling and falling to the ground in neat order.

Ethan hurriedly ran over to help her up. "Did you get injured anywhere from your fall?"

'I, your mother, shouted so woefully. Is it possible I didn't injure myself in the fall? Yena angrily glared at Ethan . Unfortunately, the physiological response of her tears surfacing completely hid the anger in her eyes. In Ethan's eyes, it only looked like misery. "It hurts..."

Ethan carried her onto the couch gently. "Let me see. Where are you hurt?"

Yena pointed at her formerly uninjured leg with a small bit of anxiety. She already had one broken leg; this other leg better not be broken as well. Otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to hop around anymore, and would only be able to roll all over.

Ethan held Yena's bruised knee and carefully examined it. "It shouldn't be too bad. It will get better if we put some ointment on it."

He stood after he finished speaking.

Yena sat on the couch with bared legs. Yena watched him get the first aid box then watched as Ethan took out the ointment and applied it to him.

"Ss—"

"Endure it for a moment. It won't hurt after the ointment has been applied."

Yena obediently stayed still. As she watched the half-crouching Ethan carefully applied the medicinal ointment, she filled with mixed feelings.

She felt that from the time after learning he was in a fake marriage to Ethan , it seemed as if this man had somehow become… less of an eyesore.

"An… Ethan ."

Ethan looked up.

Yena twisted her head away and didn't look at him. She awkwardly said, "Th-Thanks!"

Ethan looked at her red face and quivering long eyelashes. He was struck speechless for a while before saying, "I'll send you back to your room."

"Huh?" Yena was stupefied, then felt her body suddenly become lighter. She had already being picked up by Ethan in a horizontal carry.

Why princess carry or something like that so often?! Yena knew both her legs were injured and she couldn't hop, sos he could only rely on Ethan now. This felt completely humiliating. She couldn't help burying hrt face to cover it up.

Thus, Ethan felt a hot little face nestling into his bare chest.

Ethan's expression involuntarily darkened.

He carried Yena into her room and put her on the bed. He glanced at the person who, because of her movement had exposed her white panties, yet he didn't even check it out a bit Ethan slightly turned his gaze and said, "I'm going."

Yena was still feeling embarrassed from being princess-carried so Ethan heard the other's low, bashful, "En."

Ethan paused for a bit then turned and left.
