Conservative maiden?
Astounded with Yu Chen's unexpected remarks, Luo Xiaolei's mouth turned agape. She looked intently into his eyes and when she saw no trace of a joke in those coal-black, diamond-like eyes of his, she could do nothing but just stare at him in silence.
She never saw this coming. When her towel fell, Luo Xiaolei actually thought that Yu Chen might have thought that she was someone so desperate that she would resort to doing something like this to seduce him. She wouldn't blame him if he thought that way, since anyone in his situation would think like that. After all, she stormed at him in that state just because of a certain book, knowing that they, a grown up man and woman, were all alone in the house. She also knew that her impromptu explanation would only appear as a silly excuse for her to look innocent before him. This was why Luo Xiaolei was not only embarrassed but also felt a bit degraded. Even if she was indeed in a desperate situation, that wasn't her intention and she definitely didn't want to be seen by him like that.
But… what was this? This Yu Chen actually told her that he would take responsibility?! Did this man actually not think that she was trying to seduce him? What was more surprising was that he even believed her explanation?! Moreover, he really didn't need to take any responsibility at all since this was not even his fault and he didn't do anything wrong! He even reacted faster than her and covered her in a flash! Not just that, it was not like she was completely naked!
Thinking about it, Luo Xiaolei was puzzled. In her past life, wearing bikinis at beaches and pool parties was normal to her. Of course, she knew that this situation was not the same as being at the beach and she was still embarrassed about what happened to her, but this was just a minor incident that this man didn't have to take so seriously to the point of voluntarily offering himself to take responsibility!
Luo Xiaolei just couldn't believe what was happening that she began to reason it out with herself that maybe the 'responsibility' that Yu Chen was talking about was completely different from what she was thinking. But what else could he mean other that that?! Sigh… I better confirm this or I am going to go crazy!
"Uhm… w-what do you mean? Are you saying you'll take responsibility for s-seeing my body?" Finally, the question came out of her mouth. Luo Xiaolei was pretty red as she asked, even cursing inside her head at what the hell was she asking! Ahh… this guy is driving me nuts!
As Luo Xiaolei was speaking to herself, the man before her finally responded.
"Was there any other thing I should take responsibility for aside from that?" Yu Chen's response again rendered Luo Xiaolei speechless. She wanted to think that he might be just teasing her or something but no matter how much she tried, she just couldn't see anything that told her that he was just kidding.
"Err… uhm I-" Luo Xiaolei had just began to speak again when Yu Chen suddenly turned his back to her as he spoke, cutting through her words.
"Don't worry and go finish doing what you need to do first." He said as he walked towards the sofa holding the magazine she gave him, leaving Luo Xiaolei looking at him in a daze.
The man then sat on the sofa without looking at her again as he nonchalantly opened the magazine.
"Miss Luo, I won't go looking on your bookshelves again so rest assured and go ahead." When he said those without turning his gaze towards her, the dazed Luo Xiaolei jolted and she immediately entered her room.
She leaned on the door as she face palmed herself. However, the next moment, her hands closed over her mouth as she gasped in disbelief. God, was that man really Yu Chen?! No matter how much I look at him, he isn't devilish at all! His actions and words never fitted with his 'devil' nickname at all! He's actually a really cute angel, isn't he?!
At that moment, Luo Xiaolei began imagining chibi Yu Chen's black horns turning into a yellow ring above his head. She had met different kinds of men in her past life so it was really hard for her to believe that there existed a man who would voluntarily offer himself to take responsibility just because of seeing a girl in her underwear by accident. Yu Chen! Are you a man from the past or something? Or was it because you're actually a virgin conservative maiden?! Oh god, this is too unbelievable!
…
Meanwhile, as soon as the door of her room closed, the man on the sofa, who was acting like an innocent monk a moment ago, suddenly slammed the magazine on his own face.
He sat there in that state, burying his face on the opened magazine, like a statue, as a certain part of his lower body was rousing out of control.
