Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!

Chapter 889: Chapter 694: The Missing Heart Scale (4+5)_2

Like a dormant volcano long frozen over, seemingly ready to be ignited.

He closed his eyes again, his Adam’s apple moving intensely, trying to suppress this absurd reaction with a cold will.

But swirling in his mind were the vivid images from moments ago, and the lingering softness of touch he couldn’t shake off.

So closely pressed together.

He could sense it so vividly.

Vivid, unshakable.

Was she... was she doing it on purpose?

This thought hit him harder than ever before.

And more intense than this thought was the terrifying desire screaming from deep within, wanting to pull her back into his arms, to verify more, to demand more.

He raised his hand to cover his eyes, his Adam’s apple moving intensely once more, letting out a suppressed sigh.

It was hard to calm down for a long time.

This night was destined to be difficult.

...

After returning to her room, Shen Tang also patted her flushed cheeks, unable to stop her own heart and face from beating faster.

Even though she started the seduction deliberately, those shy reactions were seventy percent an act, thirty percent real.

The system was indeed correct; if it had been the initial Xue Yansi she met, she might not have had any chance to get close, and at the moment of attempting to approach, she might have been directly obliterated.

Shen Tang felt parched, taking a sip of water to calm herself, a faint smile curling at her lips.

At least she knew, Xue Yansi was still her Xue Yinzhou. Even if memories were altered, the body’s reactions couldn’t lie.

The system excitedly said, ”Host did a great job! It’s obvious this guy is already moved by you; no matter how hard he tries to be, he can’t resist the host’s sweet offensive~”

”Host, keep it up, give it your all! Try to win him over once and for all to prevent him from returning to marry that fiancée!”

Shen Tang naturally thought the same.

Although she had been deliberately delaying time these days, Xue Yansi’s body had almost recovered.

In fact, once he could move, he could have left. But perhaps because her ’persuasions’ worked on him, he stayed instead.

But once he fully recovers, he’ll definitely leave.

If by that time she hasn’t succeeded in winning him over, then once he goes back, Xue Yansi might still marry that fiancée.

She didn’t want to see her Beast Husband run off with someone else!

Shen Tang lay on her bed, staring at the moonlight outside the window, tossing and turning.

The wind and snow outside had stopped, and the moonlight was exceptionally bright, pouring over the land at night, everything was silent as if asleep.

Inside the house, the windows of two rooms still emitted warm light, leaving only their respective thoughts.

The next morning, Shen Tang made a light breakfast and went to call Xue Yansi to eat it together.

She stood at the door of the room and knocked, ”Awake? I made breakfast, come eat.”

There was no response from inside.

Shen Tang was puzzled, was he not up yet?

Actually, Xue Yansi hadn’t slept at all.

The prolonged restlessness of the night left his spirit more exhausted, all because of the uncontrollable daydreams in his mind, a torment both physically and mentally.

Hearing the knock, he didn’t respond as usual.

Perhaps after last night, there were suddenly some indescribable complex emotions in his heart, and he didn’t know how to face Shen Tang.

Thus, he chose silence.

However, the female outside might have thought something was wrong with him; she directly turned the doorknob and pushed open the door to come in.

”Click—”

The door wasn’t locked last night, and Shen Tang easily pushed it open to see the man lying perfectly fine on the bed, obviously awake.

She murmured with some displeasure, ”Why didn’t you speak if you’re awake? I thought something happened to you.”

Xue Yansi looked at the female standing at the door, his fingertips slightly clenched, his body instinctively tensed a bit, and his purple eyes turned obscure.

His voice was still low and husky, ”Why... did you come in.”

Upon hearing his near-questioning tone, Shen Tang responded even more displeased, ”I’m worried about you, alright? Your condition is special, with the illness being unpredictable, I have to keep an eye on you. If something happens, wouldn’t all the previous efforts be in vain?”

Xue Yansi had no words to counter.

The atmosphere in the room seemed to grow subtle again.

Yet, the female acted as if she was entirely oblivious.

She poured him a cup of warm water and walked over.

This morning, she wore soft loungewear, way more proper than last night, accompanied by her usual lightfootedness as she moved.

Xue Yansi himself hadn’t realized that his gaze had been fixed on her since she entered, never moving away for even a moment.
