Mu Yichen originally intended to ask her to walk back to the room with him, but when he looked back and saw her shaking her head vigorously, he knew that she had been looking up for too long, so he went back to her, picked her up, and carried her upstairs.
"Mu Yichen, you..."
"Want me to put you down?"
"No!"
The words that were about to slip out were indeed as he had asked, but then she thought, why should she get down? Just exhaust him to death!
Qin Mu put all her weight on one of his shoulders, oblivious to the fact that he was carrying her effortlessly, as if she were featherlight.
Although she was not as light as a feather, the idea of trying to overwhelm him was foolish.
Back in the room, he bowed his head and tossed her onto the bed, where her slender body bounced slightly, then she looked around dizzily, not sure where to focus.
He started unbuttoning his shirt, standing by her legs, and asked her in her dazed state, "Have you taken a shower?"
"No! I've showered!"
