Chapter 50

Su Mo had just finished showering and was about to go to bed when she heard a knock at the door.

She went over and opened the door to see Wu Ying standing outside. At this time, Su Mo was wearing the short crop top she had on when she first arrived, with large swaths of her neck and arms exposed.

Seeing her attire, Wu Ying's eyes darkened slightly.

"Wu Ying, I was about to go to sleep. Do you need something?" Su Mo asked in confusion.

"I do."

"What is it?"

Wu Ying didn't respond. He stepped inside and closed the door behind him.

Then he put his arm around Su Mo's waist and pressed her against the door.

"What did you need to tell me?" Wu Ying's voice was somewhat hoarse.

Su Mo was stunned for a moment, seeming to realize what Wu Ying was referring to. She laughed and wrapped both arms around his neck.

"Wu Ying, how did I not realize before that you're such a scoundrel? Sneaking into my bedroom in the middle of the night to steal a kiss from me? What did you call me when I peeked at you showering before?"

"So I learned it all from you. You can scold me too." Wu Ying said, then leaned down to cover her lips with his.

Ever since Wu Ying learned how to kiss, he had practically become a kiss fiend.

Sometimes when he saw Su Mo speaking, he couldn't help but want to kiss her.

After a long time, when both of their breathing had become ragged, Wu Ying finally released her.

They looked into each other's eyes, filled with indescribable emotions.

"Wu Ying..." Su Mo reached out and took off his mask, then stroked the mark on his cheekbone.

"I want to remember what you really look like before I go back! I already asked Xiao Han and she should be able to remove the mark on your face. I'll have her take a look in a couple days."

"Go back? Back where?"

"Back to my hometown."

"Mo Mo..." Wu Ying suddenly pulled her into a tight embrace, his voice tinged with a subtle gloominess. "I'll find a way for us to live a normal life together. I'll go with you to your place and ask your parents for your hand in marriage. I'll marry you properly. Wait for me, okay?"

Wu Ying was always cold and merciless, killing without batting an eye. He had no friends or family.

But at this moment, he was extremely reluctant to part with the days he had spent together with Su Mo.

Someone who had been steeped in darkness for so long, upon seeing the light, how could they willingly return to that darkness?

He had become the top assassin of the Dark Pavilion, with who knows how much blood on his hands. He had even killed many from the same sect. He used to feel nothing about life and death.

But now, he didn't want his hands stained with blood anymore. He only wanted to use them to hold her hand.

Hearing his words, Su Mo felt turmoil in her heart for the first time.

She had always lived only in the present, seldom thinking about the future.

But Wu Ying's words made her feel extremely flustered internally.

If she suddenly disappeared from this world, would Wu Ying search the whole world for her?

She immediately pushed Wu Ying away and pretended to smile at him, changing the subject.

"Wu Ying, you've kissed your fill already. Can you go back to sleep now? We've had a tiring day already. If we don't sleep soon, I won't be able to get up to practice my qinggong tomorrow!"

Wu Ying looked at her without speaking for a moment.

He knew Su Mo was changing the subject, but he didn't understand why. Could it be that she didn't want to become his wife?

No, Su Mo must become his Wu Ying's wife!

"Wu Ying?" Su Mo waved her hand in front of his face.

Wu Ying regained his focus. He didn't delve further into it. "Then let's not practice tomorrow."

"What?" Su Mo was surprised that Wu Ying would say this.

"I want to...spend more time with you."

Wu Ying took out the handkerchief that belonged to his mother and gave it to Su Mo. "This is for you."

Su Mo accepted the handkerchief, asking in puzzlement: "Isn't this your mother's belonging?"

The handkerchief was embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water.

"Yes, it's also my most precious possession. After my parents died, this was the only keepsake they left me. Now I'm giving it to you."

Su Mo put away the handkerchief without rejecting his gesture. "Alright, I'll accept it. We can treat it as...a token of our love, how about it?"

Wu Ying's lips curved up slightly. Then he suddenly looked her over and asked, "Mo Mo, do you dress like this in front of other men too?"

Su Mo glanced down at her simple t-shirt.

"It's very normal to dress like this where I'm from! Many people dress this way!" Su Mo explained.

Wu Ying's brows furrowed ever so slightly. "When you go back, will you continue dressing this way?"

"Of course!"

Wu Ying took a deep breath, trying hard to restrain the turmoil of jealousy he felt inside. "What if I don't allow it?"

"Oh come on!" Su Mo put her arms around his neck and planted a kiss on his lips. "If you saw everyone on the streets dressed like this, you wouldn't find it strange. But I promise, when I'm here, I definitely won't dress this way outside, okay?"

Hearing this, Wu Ying felt a bit better inside. He scooped her up princess-style.

"Wu Ying, what are you doing?" Wu Ying carried her to the bedside and laid her down on the bed, tucking her in under the blankets. "You sleep, I'll watch over you."

"You're not going back to sleep?"

"I'll go after you fall asleep."

Su Mo smiled. "I didn't know you were this clingy. You used to really dislike me clinging to you!"

"Did I?" Wu Ying said matter-of-factly. "I don't remember."

"Ha! You're teasing me!" Su Mo waved her hands, trying to pinch his waist.

Wu Ying laughed and grabbed her hands. "Don't make trouble, Mo Mo..."

"I want to make trouble!" Su Mo kept smiling and tried to pinch his waist.

After going back and forth with her for a while, Wu Ying grasped both her wrists and pinned them over her head.

"If you keep causing trouble, I won't be polite." Wu Ying leaned over her, looking into her eyes as he threatened.

Su Mo stared back into his eyes, suddenly feeling her heart race.

The light in the room wasn't very bright, and it cast Wu Ying's shadow very long next to the bed.

"I'm...sleeping now!" Su Mo immediately closed her eyes, to prevent herself from giving in to the urge to pounce on Wu Ying.

Seeing that she had closed her eyes, Wu Ying's breathing became hurried.

He slowly leaned down...

Su Mo sensed him leaning towards her and panicked inwardly.

@*《*^_^*》%#?&~( ?▽ ?~)~

Was their relationship really progressing to that in just a few days of dating?

Excitement? Anticipation? Trepidation?

No! Why was Su Mo's mind filled with...size issues?!

After all, Wu Ying was a 2D man, he was on a different level compared to real men!

The expected kiss didn't come. Wu Ying only kissed her forehead, then released her hands.

He smoothed her bangs back from her forehead and tucked the blankets snugly around her.

Remembering that Su Mo had taught him the word "good night" before sleeping,

he looked at her and said softly, "Mo Mo, good night..."

Then Wu Ying got up and silently left, closing the door behind him.

Su Mo suddenly opened her eyes and let out a big breath.

She immediately pulled the blanket over her face.

Ahhhhhhh!!!

She was too dirty-minded, what kind of awful things was she thinking about?!
