Chapter 532: Chapter 532: Melting Slowly Because of Gentleness

Perhaps due to having things on her mind, Su Mu was a bit absent-minded even while bathing. It was only when the bathroom door was knocked that she snapped out of her reverie, and through the sound of water, she heard Fu Shinian’s voice, sometimes distant and sometimes close:

"An hour already, not done yet?"

Su Mu instinctively responded: "Just a minute."

Fu Shinian’s voice ceased, and Su Mu naturally assumed he had left. She quickly rinsed herself once more and walked out of the shower, casually wrapping a towel around her body. However, as she reached the vanity, she suddenly realized a problem.

It seemed that in her attempt to avoid Fu Shinian earlier, she had forgotten to bring her pajamas inside.

Looking at her blush-faced reflection in the mirror, Su Mu resignedly closed her eyes. She felt that whether it was asking Fu Shinian to bring her the pajamas or going out herself to get them, the outcome would be the same - being mocked by Fu Shinian. Thus, she might as well go out herself. With this thought, she took a deep breath, ready to open the door when suddenly she heard Fu Shinian’s voice from outside, lazy as if he had been waiting for a long while:

"Coming out? Without clothes?"

Su Mu: "..."

"Open the door, I’ve brought your pajamas."

Su Mu had no other choice but to crack the door open slightly. Seeing his half-smiling face leaning on the door frame, Su Mu pretended not to understand the teasing in his expression and snatched the pajamas from his hands before closing the door. But when Su Mu saw those pajamas, she cursed Fu Shinian countless times in her heart.

She had never worn these pajamas because they were a provocative gift from Jiang Bei, with thin straps, lace edges, and barely reaching mid-thigh. Ever since these pajamas were placed in her wardrobe, she had always kept them at the very bottom, never worn once, yet Fu Shinian had discovered them and sent them in.

Without putting them on, Su Mu walked out. Fu Shinian was no longer standing at the doorway; he was making a call on the balcony. Seizing the chance, Su Mu hastily went to the bedroom’s small dressing room to change into her pajamas. She was slightly frantic, worrying about Fu Shinian appearing any moment, but she overlooked Murphy’s Law.

As Fu Shinian was there, Su Mu managed to put on her lingerie, but perhaps due to her haste and nervousness, she couldn’t fasten the hook at the back, and her hands began to cramp. Caught up in her panic and unease, she didn’t notice Fu Shinian silently approaching from behind, taking over the task and gently fastening it for her.

Su Mu shrank back and turned to look at him. Fu Shinian slightly raised his eyebrows:

"Finished bathing, why still wearing this?"

Su Mu hurriedly covered herself with the pajamas: "I wouldn’t have worn it if you weren’t here."

Fu Shinian smiled:

"Quite nice, even though I’m not allowed to touch, wearing lingerie makes you look fuller. Thank you for the visual treat."

Su Mu: "...Can you please speak properly?"

"Isn’t my intention clear enough?" Fu Shinian stepped closer, and Su Mu instinctively stepped back, trapped between the wardrobe and him, wanting to escape, but he wouldn’t allow it. He leaned slightly towards her, barely inches away, and said, "Su Mu, I want you."

Su Mu bit her lip: "In your dreams."

"Seriously, when will you give me a pass?"

Their proximity was so close that their breaths intertwined. Although the air conditioner was on, Su Mu still felt increasingly warm. She raised her hand to push Fu Shinian away, who didn’t persist, straightening up to let Su Mu leave. Watching her almost fleeing, Fu Shinian smiled faintly:

"Should be soon, right?"

Su Mu thought that Fu Shinian wouldn’t behave this readily, but he indeed did not stay the night in her small master bedroom. However, before Su Mu went to sleep, he politely knocked and then pushed the door open, standing at the doorway for a few seconds. Su Mu looked at him, expecting some action, but unexpectedly, he just pitifully looked at her:

"Really not keeping me? I won’t do anything, you can treat me as a doll."

Su Mu was almost amused but maintained a stern face:

"I don’t have the habit of sleeping with dolls."

Fu Shinian sighed with disappointment at the door, and under Su Mu’s compelling gaze, he stepped in. Su Mu hadn’t reacted yet when he already reached the bedside, bending down. Su Mu nearly blurted out his insincere, pretentious words, but he simply kissed her forehead, then whispered:

"Good night."

Su Mu stiffened slightly, but the next second, she unconsciously said: "Good night."

Fu Shinian smiled, stroking her hair: "Your hair has grown."

Su Mu recalled the words he had said before, hoping she would grow her hair long. She hadn’t responded at that time, but she had quietly made changes afterward. Previously, she would go to the salon every half a month to get her hair done, but now it had been a month without a visit.

Su Mu did not want to admit that it was due to Fu Shinian’s influence, but if not for his words, perhaps her habit would not have changed.

After Fu Shinian left, Su Mu thought she would have difficulty falling asleep, as tonight his presence made her realize many previously unnoticed minutiae and slight inner changes. But in fact, she fell asleep quickly and slept throughout the night.

When she woke up the next day, the sunlight was pleasant and so was her mood. Stretching lazily, ready to get up, she discovered an arm wrapped around her waist. She wasn’t annoyed, just felt that she should have expected he wouldn’t be so compliant.

The movement woke Fu Shinian, who lazily said:

"Morning."

"Why are you here?"

Fu Shinian opened his bleary eyes, looked around, and then replied: "How did I get here?"

Su Mu gave him a look that said, ’You put on a good show, and I’ll just quietly watch,’ but whether Fu Shinian genuinely didn’t know how he ended up there or was just that skilled in acting, his face showed no trace of deceit, coolly claiming:

"Maybe I was sleepwalking."

Su Mu chuckled, then got up and walked towards the bathroom, Fu Shinian watching her retreating figure with a slight smile.

He seemed to have found a method, and that was how to get closer to Su Mu. Previously, when Su Mu and Wen Han were together, Fu Shinian knew that his gentleness and thoughtfulness could not make Su Mu accept him because she was Wen Han’s girlfriend. Hence, he had to be tough, but now that she had shed that role, all he needed was to gently, insistently melt her, and she wouldn’t be too resistant.
