Chapter 264 Is this someone who cares about me?
"It's because the water temperature is too high!" Qin Reng turned his face away.
"Really?" Yu Yuetong reached out and touched his face. "Then shouldn't we dry you off and change your clothes?"
Qin Reng froze: "What...what do you want to do?"
"I'm helping you change your clothes," Yu Yuetong said innocently. "Otherwise, you'll catch a cold wearing wet clothes, won't you?"
"I will do it myself!"
"Are you sure you can do it?" Yu Yuetong glanced meaningfully at his sprained ankle.
Qin Reng gritted his teeth: "You dare to do something reckless and try it!"
“This is my body,” Yu Yuetong whispered in his ear, “How could I do anything reckless?”
Warm breath sprayed on his ear, and Qin Reng felt a tingling sensation spread from his ear to his whole body.
This woman is too dangerous!
Qin Reng took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. His current situation was too dangerous—trapped in his own body, and also having to face this unpredictable woman.
"What exactly do you want?" He tried to make his voice sound as tough as possible.
“I told you, I’ll help you change your clothes.” Yu Yuetong’s fingers gently traced his collarbone. “Look, it’s all soaked.”
Qin Reng shivered, unsure whether it was from the chill of his wet clothes or from Yu Yuetong's touch. He gritted his teeth and said, "I don't need your help, I can manage on my own."
"Really?" Yu Yuetong suddenly let go of his arm, and Qin Reng stumbled, but she caught him steadily. "Looks like this won't work."
"You!" Qin Reng's face turned red with anger. "You did this on purpose!"
“Yes,” Yu Yuetong readily admitted, “I did it on purpose. So, are you willing to let me help you now?”
Qin Reng wanted to retort, but an untimely sneeze escaped his lips.
"See? I told you you'd catch a cold." Yu Yuetong sighed. "Don't be stubborn, let me help you."
Qin Reng hesitated for a moment. He did need to change out of his wet clothes, but… “You promise you won’t do anything reckless?”
"What else could I possibly do to my body?" Yu Yuetong said with a smile, her hand already on his shirt button.
Qin Reng's body stiffened, his heart pounding so hard it felt like it would burst out of his chest. Yu Yuetong's fingers brushed against his skin, intentionally or unintentionally, each touch feeling like an electric shock.
“You’re shivering,” Yu Yuetong suddenly said. “Are you cold?”
"Nonsense!" Qin Reng gritted his teeth. "Of course it's cold!"
"Then we need to hurry," Yu Yuetong said, her movements becoming even gentler.
Qin Reng closed his eyes, unable to bear looking at the image in the mirror. This was too strange. It was clearly his own body, so why was it so sensitive? And Yu Yuetong's every movement was so careful, as if she were handling something precious…
"Alright." Yu Yuetong's voice interrupted his reverie.
Qin Reng opened his eyes and found himself dressed in clean pajamas. Yu Yuetong was gently wiping his hair with a towel, her movements incredibly tender.
"Did you... often take care of people like this before?" Qin Reng couldn't help but ask.
Yu Yuetong paused for a moment. "No," she said softly. "You're the first."
For some reason, these words made Qin Reng's heart skip a beat. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"Alright," Yu Yuetong put down the towel, "Let me help you back to your room."
Qin Reng nodded, letting Yu Yuetong put her arm around his waist and walk out. He could feel Yu Yuetong's body temperature through her thin pajamas, which made him feel inexplicably at ease.
This feeling is too dangerous, he thought. But... it doesn't seem so bad.
Back in the room, Qin Reng sat on the edge of the bed, watching Yu Yuetong rummage through the wardrobe.
"What are you looking for?"
"A blanket," Yu Yuetong said without turning her head, "You're so delicate, what if you catch a cold?"
Qin Reng pursed his lips, watching Yu Yuetong's busy figure. This woman was clearly taking care of his health, so why did he feel a warmth in his heart?
"Found it!" Yu Yuetong turned around with the blanket, only to see Qin Reng staring at her intently. She raised an eyebrow. "What are you looking at?"
"N-nothing." Qin Reng hurriedly looked away.
Yu Yuetong walked over and draped the blanket over his shoulders. Her fingers accidentally brushed against Qin Reng's neck, causing him to shudder.
"Why are your hands so cold?" Qin Reng subconsciously grabbed her hand.
Yu Yuetong paused for a moment: "It's probably because I got caught in the rain earlier."
"You should change your clothes too." Qin Reng frowned. "Don't think you can ignore it just because it's my body."
"Oh," Yu Yuetong laughed, "Is this someone who cares about me?"
"Who cares about you!" Qin Reng immediately let go. "I'm worried about my own health!"
"Okay, okay, take care of yourself." Yu Yuetong smiled and turned to leave. "Then I'll go take a hot shower."
"Wait!" Qin Reng suddenly called out to her.
Yu Yuetong turned around: "What's wrong?"
Qin Reng gritted his teeth: "You...you shouldn't look around like that."
Yu Yuetong blinked, then gave a meaningful smile: "Don't worry, I'm already tired of looking at my own body. But you..." She glanced meaningfully in the direction of the bathroom.
Qin Reng's face instantly turned bright red: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"I didn't say anything," Yu Yuetong blinked innocently. "Could it be that President Qin misunderstood?"
"Get out!" Qin Reng grabbed a pillow and threw it.
Yu Yuetong nimbly dodged, smiling as she closed the bathroom door. Soon, the sound of running water filled the air, but Qin Reng couldn't calm down.
He scratched his head in frustration, annoyed to find himself thinking about what Yu Yuetong looked like in the bathroom right now. No, he was thinking about what his own body looked like in the bathroom… Wait, that sounds worse!
"Ah—" A sudden exclamation came from the bathroom.
Qin Reng's heart skipped a beat: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing!" Yu Yuetong's voice was tinged with laughter. "It's just that I noticed there's a particularly sensitive spot on President Qin's body..."
"Shut up!" Qin Reng practically roared. "If you dare to do anything reckless..."
"Want to come in and take a look?" Yu Yuetong's voice came through the crack in the door, tinged with a hint of mockery.
Qin Reng buried his face in the pillow and despairingly discovered that his ears were burning hot.
This woman is driving him crazy.
The sound of water in the bathroom gradually stopped. Yu Yuetong came out drying her hair and found that Qin Reng was still burying his face in the pillow.
"Hey, are you really shy?" Yu Yuetong couldn't help but laugh.
Qin Reng suddenly raised his head, glaring fiercely at her: "Don't be so smug! If I weren't inside you right now, I would have already—"
"So what if it was already?" Yu Yuetong raised an eyebrow, deliberately moving closer to him. "Does President Qin intend to force himself on me?"
Qin Reng was speechless for a moment, staring at his own face magnified before him, his heart pounding uncontrollably. How could this woman be so good at flirting? No, this was clearly his own face, so why was he feeling attracted?
