Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 389 - Unrest

Yunru didn't dare to look. He could only gulp back to back, cursing his luck.

What the hell is wrong with me!?

His palm felt extremely hot, holding her soft breast. He mentally tried to distract himself from the heat rushing in his body.

Poor Zizi lied on the floor as if she got electrocuted. Every shade of red couldn't compete the color that brightly burned her cheeks. His touch tickled, and she felt as if a swarm of butterflies furiously roared in her stomach. She even wanted to faint.

"Y-you are a cop! Shouldn't your sense of balance be perfect?"

"Huh? Where does this come from?" Yunru was speechless.

"I don't know!" She sobbed. "I don't know what I am saying. I cannot think straight. You are still h-ho-holding onto it...It feels all so tingling! Shameless Soo Yunru!"

"..."

Suddenly, Yunru took off his hand and got up on his feet. He helped Zizi up, but then she yelped slightly in pain.

Yunru widened his eyes towards her but quickly remembered that she was naked. He coughed. "What's wrong?"

Zizi blushed. Her mind was still preoccupied with the last scene.

Why does my left breast still feel ticklish?

She bit her lip hard. Fumes escaped her head.

Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!

"Princess?"

Zizi quickly covered herself with the bathrobe. "Huh? Nothing."

"What nothing? You yelped in pain."

"I did?" She moved and yelped again. She realized her left foot was hurting.

"I-I think it got sprained…" she averted her gaze.

"I am sorry. It's because I fell on you."

"No, it's my fault. I pulled you hastily."

There was a beat of silence. Both of their faces were burning red. Yunru quickly said, "You put on the bathrobe. I will put the ointment on your foot."

She nodded hard. Yunru dashed out with lightning speed and shut the door. He finally let out his breath that he had been holding for God knows how long.

Ahhhh what am I doing?

He saw his right hand slightly shaking, and he could still feel the heat radiate from his skin. He could still feel the sensation lingering upon it.

It was soft…

He froze.

Stop it!!!

Idiot! Stupid! You couldn't even stand straight!

The door then softly opened, and he stiffened. But this time, he didn't dare to turn. Zizi made a face. "You...you have already seen what is there to see!"

N-Not that I mind really...she blushed again.

"Why are you turning your head away now?"

Yunru let out a cough. He opened and closed his mouth several times, but nothing came out in his defense.

"How is your foot?"

"...It hurts a bit. I am okay, though. It's just slightly sprained."

Yunru still didn't look at her. "You shouldn't take a sprain so lightly. I will put the balm on it."

Since she had trouble walking, Yunru swiftly picked her in his arms. Zizi widened her eyes. The intimate images flashed again, and his embrace felt really hot all of a sudden.

Yunru cleared his throat. "I don't want you to aggravate it."

He walked up to the bed, carrying Zizi who was wearing just a bathrobe. He could smell the shampoo from her hair and how soft it felt…

Snap out! Snap out!

He put her on the bed and quickly took out the first aid kit. As he was busy applying the medicine, nobody spoke anything. There was absolute silence.

"Done…"

Zizi jolted and nodded. The silence broke when her phone rang again. Yunru saw Feng Xiao's name again, and his brows twitched.

What is so urgent? And when the hell did they exchange numbers anyway?

Zizi stiffened and quickly cut the call. She awkwardly smiled.

Yunru asked, "Anything important? The phone was ringing when I first entered your room too."

She coughed. "Nothing. Just some silly credit card offer call haha…"

"..."

I saw the name Feng Xiao.

But then he seriously wondered why Zizi was lying to him. Now he was sure that he saw her yesterday with him. His eyes hadn't played tricks on him.

He didn't want to expose her and put her in a difficult position, so he didn't ask about it.

"I see," he smiled. "Anyway. You should rest. If you want anything, then just ask Dad," then he gave it a thought. "No, I think I should take a day off. It was my fault."

Zizi coughed again. "N-No need. I am fine. Don't waste your day because of me. I will rest at home."

"But-"

"No means no. You are a cop. You have very important duties," she seriously said.

Why am I feeling that you are trying to shoo me off?

The Princess he knew would have jumped on the chance to make him stay at home and spend time with him. But now she was pushing him away?

"Alright...if that's what you want. But if your sprain gets worse, then don't hesitate to call me."

She grinned. "Of course."

Yunru shut the door and quietly left. He scratched his head.

What is going on…? She is behaving so oddly. When did she become so docile?

He met Soo Enlai on the way, who looked at him, frowning. "You are still at home?"

"..."

Why does everyone want me to leave?

He smiled. "I am on my way."

"So don't waste time. Go. Shoo."

"..."

He shook his head. "Anyway, Princess has sprained her foot a little-"

"What!? How did this happen?" He was horrified. "She has been hardly here, and she is already injured?"

Yunru couldn't exactly say the 'cirumstances.'

"Don't worry, Dad. It was a...minor accident. I have put the medicine. Just don't let her walk around. Help her out if she needs anything."

He was strangely silent. "Okay…"

Yunru stared at him.

Why does he look so odd?

---

When it was break time at the police station, Yunru abruptly stopped near Feng Xiao's desk. He saw him grinning. "No. Don't take the trouble. You are injured."

Yunru widened his eyes.

Injured…Is he talking about Princess?

"I will come right away at your house. Wait for me."

"..."

Home? What home? Which home? Where home? Whose home? It cannot be mine, right?

Yunru felt exceedingly anxious. He couldn't help but think that he might be talking about Zizi. The injury part coincided, after all.

So even if he knew it was wrong to follow around, he did stalk Feng Xiao all the way.

He was speechless when he arrived at the destination. Feng Xiao was standing in front of a door, which Yunru recognized, naturally.

Why the hell is he at my house!?
