Chapter 19 Forced Cohabitation

Chapter 19 Forced Cohabitation

It was a WeChat voice message from Jiang Nuan, filled with screams and despair: "Mianmian's doomed! Aaaaaah, the water pipe in our dorm burst!"

"It's probably uninhabitable tonight, it's practically a waterfall cave, ahhhhhh!"

Send me a "the sky is falling" emoji.

The news of the burst water pipe in the dormitory exploded like a bomb in Lin Mianmian's mind.

She could even imagine the murky water relentlessly flooding her little nest, soaking her sheets and the books piled in the corner.

Oh no, this is terrible! What am I going to do? Where am I going to stay tonight?

The little girl's pretty brows were furrowed tightly.

"Tsk, troublesome." Xie Lin's voice came from above, revealing little emotion, but the arm around her waist tightened even more, with an undeniable force.

Lin Mianmian is still being held in Xie Lin's arms.

She could clearly feel the warmth of his chest and his steady heartbeat, which made her even more flustered. Struggling to break free from this overly intimate embrace, she cried out, "Put me down! I have to go back!"

Xie Lin not only didn't let go, but lowered his head instead: "You heartless little husband, I just stood up for you, and this is how you treat me, huh?"

Xie Lin was at his wit's end with this little devil. He had hoped to gain some benefits by playing the hero and rescuing the damsel in distress. But seeing the girl's worried expression, it seemed he wouldn't get away with it.

Xie Lin continued, "Go back?" His warm breath brushed against her forehead and then he affectionately nuzzled Lin Mianmian's neck.

"Is your dorm room habitable now? Or are you waiting to swim back to feed the fish?" His tone was lazy, but every word struck a chord with her, shattering her unrealistic fantasies.

He put her down, looked down at her, and his eyes, which always held a hint of nonchalance and amusement, met hers. Lin Mianmian could even see his long, distinct eyelashes and the clearly defined, thin lips beneath his straight nose, which made her want to kiss them at any moment.

So alluring, like a male enchantress.

What am I thinking! The water pipe in my dorm is still bursting. I absolutely can't let this male devil hook me up, or I'll end up like Wang Baochuan digging for wild vegetables. He muttered to himself.

Where does she live? A hint of helplessness, embarrassment, and worry appeared on her usually cool face.

She truly had nowhere to go, a realization that inexplicably irritated her, making even Xie Lin's excessively handsome face seem particularly irritating.

"Or, I'll go find a hotel." She turned her face away, trying to maintain her last bit of composure.

"At this hour," Xie Lin said slowly, his thumb seemingly unintentionally stroking her waist lightly through the thin fabric.

The sensation was like an electric current, making Lin Mianmian stiffen all over.

He was pleased to see her subtle reaction, a wicked smile curving his lips. "You think there are still rooms available? Or are you planning to sleep on the streets?"

"Are you trying to make me feel sorry for you again? If you feel so bad, you'll become a widow." He paused, then leaned closer, almost touching her earlobe.

Her low voice, both alluring and magnetic, held an undeniable authority: "Come with me, my darling Mianmian, let's go back to my husband's house and live in the big house."

The way he called out "Baby Mianmian" was tinged with a hint of ambiguity and danger, with the last syllable rising slightly.

Lin Mianmian's heart sank suddenly, then began to pound uncontrollably.

Go with him? Go to his house? Wouldn't that be walking into a trap?

I remembered the menacing wolf that Xie Lin had drawn in his notebook before.

Entering his house is like entering a wolf's den, isn't it?

But reality was staring her in the face, leaving her with no other choice.

The words of refusal stuck in his throat, but under Xie Lin's extremely aggressive gaze, he finally hummed in agreement.

Xie Lin chuckled softly, overjoyed. A man and a woman alone in a room—it was hard to imagine nothing happening. Intimate contact? Wouldn't that be a piece of cake?

The more you spend time together, the better your feelings will naturally develop, right? Once feelings have developed, you can dress a little revealing and seduce her. How far are you from getting together?

Hahahaha, Xie Lin was secretly overjoyed.

"Good girl." He casually uttered a single word, then pulled her out, his steps light and unhurried.

Lin Mianmian was pulled along by him, staggering as she followed. The skin where he gripped her wrist was burning hot, and the heat spread all the way, making her cheeks and ears feel faintly hot.

She was forced to walk beside him, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of his smooth, sharp jawline, his prominent Adam's apple bobbing slightly with each step, and his collarbone faintly visible beneath his open collar.

A strong emotion, a mixture of resistance, shame, and a secret flutter in her chest, surged within her.

Before long, Xie Lin brought her to Yunque Bay.

She was forced to follow him into the elevator. In the enclosed space, his scent became even stronger. Xie Lin seemed to be in a good mood. He turned his head to look at her, his gaze lingering for a moment on her slightly reddened earlobes, and the wicked smile on his lips deepened.

"Afraid of me?" he asked bluntly, with a hint of amusement.

Lin Mianmian looked up abruptly, meeting his deep eyes, the light within them making her flustered. She forced herself to suppress that fluster, trying to maintain a cool and aloof demeanor.

She retorted curtly, "Xie Lin, don't flatter yourself. I'm just worried about my things in the dorm!"

"Oh?" Xie Lin raised an eyebrow, drawing out his words, clearly not believing it.

He suddenly raised his hand, his calloused fingertips gently brushing against the back of her fair hand. The movement was so fast that she didn't have time to react, leaving only a burning shiver.

"Your hands are so cold, you must be really scared." His tone sounded concerned, but his eyes and actions were clearly a blatant provocation and test.

Lin Mianmian jerked her hand back as if she had been burned, hiding it behind her back, her fingertips curling up.

She turned her head to look at the closed elevator doors. The cold metal reflected her figure, which was trying to remain calm but couldn't hide her panic, as well as Xie Lin's tall and imposing silhouette with an aggressive smile behind her.

My heart was pounding like a drum, amplified infinitely in the confined space.

She knew perfectly well that this forced "cohabitation" would never be peaceful.

Xie Lin was like a wolf poised to pounce, and she was his prey, whom he was determined to have.

The tension of ambiguity was stretched to its limit in the enclosed space.

"Ding, we've arrived at the 6th floor."

"Let's go, my precious princess! Oh, right, the marshal isn't home, so I took it to Grandpa's house."

"We can have some alone time together today."

As Xie Lin entered, he began to undress, revealing broad shoulders, a strong waist, and perfectly defined muscles. He exuded both masculine virility and youthful exuberance. His clothes were casually tossed onto the sofa. Xie Lin then aggressively approached Lin Mianmian.

Lin Mianmian quickly covered her face. Oh no! Was she going to lose her virginity the moment she walked in? She should have stayed at a hotel. Last time, this bastard tormented her so much that her back ached for days.

Xie Lin was exceptionally wild and rough in bed. He only became slightly gentler when she begged him. She didn't want to have sex right now; it was her ovulation period, and she couldn't afford to be reckless.
