Chapter 255: Stay Away from Him (2/2)

Knitting her eyebrows, Murong looked at him with confusion. “Ouyang Shaochen, what are you gonna do?”

“Take a bath and a rest,” Ouyang replied casually as he untied his waist belt and took off his robe.

Murong shifted her gaze from him unnaturally and asked in a hurry, “Heir Ouyang, which room do I stay in?”

“This one of course!” Ouyang replied casually.

Murong knitted her eyebrows tightly, feeling unhappy to share a room with him again. The first time she had to do so only because Ouyang was too mean to offer her a guestroom. But now she could ask for one because Duan Wuluo was in charge of the mansion.

“We’re in the prefect’s mansion in Nanjiang,” Ouyang suddenly added. “We have no idea whether there is hidden danger in here. We’ll be safer if we share a room.”

Murong held her steps immediately. He was right. It might be dangerous for them to live here. If they shared a room, they could take care of each other; if they didn’t and something terrible happened, they would be in great trouble.

It would be just one night anyway, so she decided to share the room with Ouyang, reluctantly though!

Murong heaved a sigh and stayed in the room. She looked at Ouyang as he hung up the robe and undid the buckles on the white underwear. His fair, strong chest was vaguely exposed underneath his inner clothing.

Murong flushed and ran out of the room. “Enjoy your bath. I’ll have some dessert outside.” She ran in a way as if she was escaping in panic.

Ouyang put a light smile on his face as his obsidian-like eyes sparkled brightly enough to enchant people.

After leaving the room, Murong strolled in the yard and had the dessert absentmindedly. Lanterns fluttered with the breeze in the corridor.

“Murong Xue!” The moment Murong heard the familiar voice, she looked up and saw Gong Qianyu at the entrance, who looked at her calmly with a barely visible smile.

With surprise in her eyes, Murong took a glance at the closed door before running to him. She pushed him to the corner outside the yard and said in a low voice, “Why are you here?”

“I saw you in the yard when I passed by,” Gong Qianyu said softly. Worried that she wouldn’t believe his words, he pointed at the front and said, “I live right over there.”

Murong followed his finger and saw a refined building, which was on the right side of hers. So if Gong went back to his room, he would pass the entrance of her yard.

“Murong Xue, how long are you gonna stay here?” he asked blandly, staring at her with his clear eyes.

“Just tonight. We’ll leave tomorrow morning,” Murong answered lightly.

“Why not stay here a little longer?” Gong said with a disappointed look in his eyes.

Murong smiled softly, “We came to Mingzhou for a visit. But it was too late for us to leave after the tour on Ming Lake. That’s why we stay here.”

“There are other places to go except Ming Lake. Why not stay here a few more days?” Gong lowered his head to look at her with anticipation.
