Quite awkward

Chapter 158 Blue Tile House

Zhang Pei nodded in agreement. He wanted to stay here for a while longer and reminisce with Qiao Yijing. Then he noticed Qi Yu with his head down in a daze, so he called out to Mu Chenan.

"Please take Qi Yu home. I'm afraid the car won't be full later."

Mu Chenan slowly turned around and looked at Qi Yu to ask for his opinion.

Qi Yu picked up the small bag and suddenly stood up. She said goodbye to the others first, then walked up to Mu Chenan and said, "Well, thank you for troubling me, second brother."

The two of them walked out of the box and when they were going down the stairs, Mu Chenan suddenly took her hand and whispered, "Walk slowly."

Qi Yu was wearing a pair of black thick-soled boots with high heels today. In fact, she could have walked down the stairs easily, but he held her hand tightly. She struggled slightly but couldn't get rid of him, so she had to obediently let him lead her downstairs.

When they reached the first floor, he slowly let go of her hand, strode around, and walked in front of her, as if it was just his gentlemanly behavior and he had no intention of taking advantage of her.

After leaving the restaurant and standing on the roadside, the driver drove over and Mu Chenan opened the back door and let her get in first.

After Qi Yu sat down, she hugged her small bag tightly. She was still frightened by the ghost story that had just happened at the dinner table. She recalled some details and was still in shock.

After getting in the car, Mu Chenan tilted his head and began to close his eyes to rest. It was not difficult to find that his current mental state seemed extremely tired.

Qi Yu sat aside, silently encouraging herself not to be afraid when she returned to the room. After washing up, she put on an eye mask and went to sleep directly. She didn't think about anything and slept until dawn.

The ancient town is only this big, and the car soon arrived at the homestay where Qi Yu was staying.

She glanced out of the car window and found that the place where she got off was right in front of the door of the blue-tiled house. The whole house was the same color as the night and there was no light at all. She closed her eyes and the feeling of fear came again, eroding her heart bit by bit.

She wanted to get off the car from Muchenan's side and then run directly into the B&B.

“Second brother?”

Mu Chenan had fallen asleep in such a short time. He woke up and asked in a slightly confused manner, "Why haven't you gotten off the car yet?"

Qi Yu originally wanted to ask him to open the door and get out of the car first, and then let her get out, but when the words came to her lips, they turned into -

"There's a long sofa in my room. Would you like to go up and rest for a while?"

Mu Chenan's eyes suddenly darkened. He hadn't heard such a direct invitation for a long time and almost thought he was hallucinating.

He was indeed very tired and sleepy now, and didn't have the energy to set a trap, but he unexpectedly killed two birds with one stone, and she actually gave in on her own initiative.

He didn't show any reserve at all, nodded, and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you, my dear sister."

There was only a little light coming from outside in the car, and Qi Yu's face was dyed pink like peach blossoms. Mu Chenan noticed this when he opened the car door, and wondered if it was because of the name just now?

He thought for a while, explained to the driver, and then walked into the B&B with Qi Yu.

At this time, the receptionist at the B&B was not there, and the other actors were all resting in their rooms. Qi Yu stepped onto the stairs, looked back at him, and whispered a reminder: "It's best not to let others see you."

"I'm your brother. Don't worry about what others think."

Mu Chen was so convinced that he almost believed it himself. He suddenly felt that his brother's identity was very useful. At least it could effectively dispel other people's doubts.

She went upstairs with worry and didn't meet anyone along the way. She took out a small key from her bag, unlocked the door, pushed open the door, and let Mu Chenan in first.

This is the largest room in this B&B, which can be considered as a preferential treatment given by the crew to the leading actress. In fact, it is only about 7 or 8 square meters larger than the other rooms, just enough to fit an extra sofa.

The conditions here are limited. Xiao He came here to stay with her for a few nights before, but later she was assigned a new task by the company, so she returned to Linjiang these days.

After entering the door, Qi Yu looked forward and could just see the blue-tiled house across the street through the window. She turned her eyes away, stood still, and commanded: "Second brother, please help me close the window and draw the curtains."

It was not until Muchenan drew the curtains tight that she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, gradually losing her previous enthusiasm, and pointed at the sofa.

"You sleep here. I'm going to take a shower first."

There was only a warm yellow wall lamp on in the room. Mu Chenan was exhausted, and a strong sense of sleepiness invaded his brain. He completely lost the romantic thoughts he had when he went upstairs just now. He lay lazily on the sofa, resting his forehead with the back of his hand, closing his eyes and sleeping.

After taking a shower, Qi Yu put on her pajamas neatly. When she walked out of the bathroom and saw this scene, she picked up a thin blanket from the bed and covered him casually, and then ignored him.

She rubbed her temples and looked towards the window, but saw nothing.

But she knew that the blue-tiled house was less than ten meters away from her. Standing by the window and looking out, the pitch-black house was right in front of her.

Afterwards, she lay on the bed. Even with Mu Chenan by her side, her fear did not completely dissipate. It was as if she could hear the sound of someone rubbing mahjong in her ears.

Qi Yu sighed softly, deeply regretting attending the dinner tonight, otherwise she would not have been able to hear that strange and bizarre story.

Two hours later, Mu Chenan's legs and feet felt numb and he woke up with a start. He sat up from the sofa, slowly regained his composure, turned his head to look at the big bed, and found Qi Yu sitting at the head of the bed, holding an iPad in his hands and looking at something.

"Don't you have to film tomorrow? Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Qi Yu said stubbornly: "I can't sleep."

Mu Chenan snorted and laughed: "I think you are scared."

"Just a little bit." She was too embarrassed to admit it all.

He slowly stood up, stretched his long legs, walked over and sat down beside her bed, and comforted her, "There's nothing to be afraid of. Go to bed early. I can't sleep well here with you, so I'll go back to the hotel first."

Hearing that he also couldn't sleep well, Qi Yu felt even more uneasy. She threw her iPad aside and asked again for confirmation.

“You’re leaving now?”

"Um."

"Don't go. I'll give you my bed and sleep on the sofa." Qi Yu hurriedly tried to keep him.

She didn't want to stay in this room alone. The actor colleagues next door were all asleep, and she had no way to seek the company of others, so she could only keep the man in front of her.

Mu Chen looked at her quietly, without saying a word.

The air seemed to stagnate at this moment.

After a while, he opened his eyes and touched her face. Seeing that she did not hide, he began to press forward again. He stretched out his arms and hugged her lightly, comforting her: "Qi Yu, don't be afraid. Ghosts don't exist. Be brave."

"I'm usually very strong, but this is a strange place for me and I don't dare live here alone." Qi Yu's tone was light and soft, with some trembling in her voice. Her fear was completely exposed without any concealment.

She hated herself for being useless.

Why did he get so scared when encountering a problem? He even pulled Mu Chenan into the room.

The fact that he could hold her like this now was entirely the result of her gradual weakness and compromise.

"What should we do then?" Mu Chenan asked her again.

He had just taken a nap and now had some energy to play with her.

“I’ll sleep on the sofa.”

After Qi Yu finished speaking, she immediately took action, lifted the quilt and tried to get out of his arms, but he quickly pushed her back onto the bed in a domineering manner.

"Forget it, I'll just reluctantly sleep with you for one night. But don't call me a hooligan or a bastard again. I'm not doing anything. I just feel sorry for you because you're afraid of ghosts."

Mu Chenan raised his hand and began to unbutton his shirt, with a slightly raised arc at the corners of his eyes, as if smiling, his posture exuding a sense of wanton romance and desire.

In the past, when he came home from get off work, if he found Qi Yu still in his room, he would definitely deliberately grab her and force her into the bathroom, first taking off his suit piece by piece, then stripping off her satin nightgown, and the two of them would fool around under the shower.

Qi Yu widened her eyes slightly, staring at his movements, and was slow to respond to what he had just said. She couldn't help but wonder if she had made a wrong decision.

But this feeling is so ambiguous. She was clearly determined to end the relationship with him before, but it seems that the effect is counterproductive.

However, that night of love on New Year's Eve seemed to have reopened a floodgate between the two of them. In this way, she would only become more entangled with him in the future.

Her thoughts were in a mess, not knowing whether she should go back on her word and stop him, or just wait for him to climb into bed.

Mu Chenan took off his shirt and casually placed it on the bedside table. He turned around and pointed at the bath towel hanging on the floor-standing clothes rack and asked, "Can I use it? I want to take a shower first."

Qi Yu nodded subconsciously, wailing in his heart, how could she be so easy to talk to.

Mu Chenan picked up the bath towel and walked into the bathroom.

A moment later, he came out of the shower.

Qi Yu drooped his eyelids and tilted his head to look.

The man's short black hair was slightly wet, his upper body was naked, revealing sexy and firm muscle lines, his waist was thin and strong, and he was wearing a white bath towel to cover his key parts. A long part of his long legs was exposed.

If it weren't for Qi Yu, he would never be willing to be so shameless and careless as to dress like this.

Then he walked to the bed and asked patiently and politely, "Do you mind if I sleep like this without a change of clothes?"

Qi Yu turned her head away, not wanting to talk to him. The panic in her heart gradually subsided after she went back and forth with him.

She lay flat on the bed, looking at the ceiling, as if she had led herself into a deep pit, and it was too late to regret now.

Mu Chenan walked to the other side and got on the bed.

Soon after lying down, all I could smell was the warm and sweet scent of the woman beside me.

He closed his eyes and tried to hold it in for a while, but he couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up slightly, trapped Qi Yu under him, held her head with both hands, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

This night, after pretending for so long, his true colors were finally revealed.

The strong desire in the man's eyes kept surging in the dark and silent night.

Qi Yu's breathing gradually became irregular. During the passionate kiss, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her soft body. She couldn't help but raise her head. This posture seemed to make it easier for him to kiss her.

The dense kisses went up and gently landed on her eyebrows.

Mu Chenan was still rational. He slammed on the brakes, his protruding Adam's apple rolling up and down, and his heart beating violently with his eager emotions.

After enduring to the utmost, his voice, magnetic and hoarse, mixed with deep love, he said to her tenderly: "Don't be afraid, second brother is with you."

All the intimacy stopped there. Mu Chenan let Qi Yu rest her head on his arm, patted her back gently, and coaxed her to sleep in a low voice.

The moment Qi Yu closed her eyes, she was wondering why she felt that his arms were broad and warm, giving her a sense of security and dependence.

The two of them slept in the same bed again. It was not so much that he was acting recklessly, but rather that her gentle attitude had implicitly condoned his indulgence.

Qi Yu leaned comfortably in his arms, not knowing how to face him tomorrow. The fear and uneasiness she felt about the blue-tiled house quietly transformed into a deep dependence on him. She raised her hands and put them around his waist, gradually falling into a deep sleep.

The next morning.

The noisy alarm clock woke up the man and woman in bed. Qi Yu slowly opened her eyes, her cheek pressed tightly against the skin of his chest. She raised her eyes and saw the man's sexy collarbone.

Mu Chenan woke up, still holding the woman in his arms. He stretched out his arm to turn off the annoying alarm clock and touched her soft long hair. He especially liked the feeling of having such a warm and soft woman in his arms, and he was reluctant to let go.

"Second brother, I'm going to get up." Qi Yu's voice was soft and gentle when she called her second brother, like a scent that made people addicted and linger.

"Starting tonight, you will stay in a hotel in the main city. I will leave the driver to you, and he will pick you up and drop you off every day for filming." Mu Chenan did not move for a long time. He thought for a while and wanted to arrange her future life before leaving the ancient town.

Qi Yu fell into deep conflict. She felt that she should reject his kindness coldly, but the shadow of the blue-tiled house could not be dispelled in the dark night, and she did not have the courage to face it alone in the future.

"Brother, I...don't want to do it anymore. Let me handle this matter myself."

“How do you solve it?”

"I will ask the owner of the B&B to change the room to the back, where I can't see the blue-tiled house."

Muchenan guessed that she was embarrassed to accept his kindness, so he took one of her hands, interlocked their fingers, and raised it in the air.

"Qi Yu, the hotel room and driver are reserved for you. It's up to you whether you want to stay or not. I respect your choice and won't force you to do anything. As long as you feel happy, that's fine."

Qi Yu seemed to have heard the second half of the sentence before. She paused and murmured, "Why are you imitating Big Brother?"

Mu Chenan's heart suddenly stopped, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he didn't know how to respond.

He didn't dare admit that when he met her this time, he was indeed imitating his elder brother's behavior.

Imitate how Big Brother takes care of her, how he treats her well, how he thinks and how he handles things, and everything he says and does...

There are so many men in the world, and Mu Chenan feels that he is the most like an elder brother in the world.

If Qi Yu likes this type of man, he can pretend for her.

But she didn't seem to buy it and ruthlessly exposed his disguise.
