Chapter 89: A Perfectly Good Wolf Doing Dog-Like Things
In the evening, after Mo Yin finished his fruit, he couldn’t wait to lie down on the stone bed, looking at Xie Qiang with a slight shimmer of expectation in his eyes.
Hong Que simply couldn’t bear to watch.
“It seems he’s very tired after being out all day; he wants to sleep so early.” Xie Qiang waved her hand at the youth in black. “Mo Yin, you go to sleep first! No need to wait for me, I’ll sleep later!”
The youth in black’s expression dimmed visibly to the naked eye.
Hong Que burst out laughing. “Are you really acting dense or do you just not understand? If you don’t sleep, he definitely won’t sleep first!”
“Is that so?” Xie Qiang felt a bit bad for Mo Yin, fearing he wouldn’t rest well at night, so she stood up and walked toward the stone bed. “Then I’ll accompany him to sleep.”
Hong Que: “…”
My big mouth!
Hong Que glared indignantly at the two on the stone bed. Mo Yin sat up and was about to start the preparations when he suddenly remembered something. He immediately turned his head and stared at Hong Que: No peeking!
Treating his brother like he was guarding against a dog made Hong Que feel very displeased. He intentionally widened his eyes, staring at the two without moving: I’m going to watch!
Mo Yin withdrew his gaze, tugged at the girl’s sleeve, and whispered, “Brother, peeking.”
Hong Que: Mo Yin?! You’re a wolf, not a dog! Why are you always doing such dog-like things?!
Xie Qiang poked her head out from behind Mo Yin in confusion. Meeting Hong Que’s golden eyes which were bulging like lightbulbs, she couldn’t help but believe it eighty percent. “He actually has that kind of fetish?”
“Mm.” The wolf youth nodded seriously. “Pervert.”
Then came the sound of Hong Que crashing minerals in a fit of rage. “I don’t have that kind of fetish!”
“It’s fine, let him watch, it’s not like it’ll cost us anything.” Xie Qiang said indifferently. Anyway, she was sleeping on the inside and wearing clothes… wait, wait, wait?
Seeing the youth reach out to unbutton her clothes, Xie Qiang was so scared she quickly clutched her clothes tight. “Mo Yin?”
The youth in black tilted his head. “Hmm?”
“What are you doing?” She hurriedly shrunk into the corner of the bed. Seeing Mo Yin looking at her innocently, an ominous premonition rose in her heart. “Wait, was this… a step yesterday?”
The youth in black sat cross-legged on the bed, his hands pressed on his ankles, nodding obediently.
“Pressed against each other, warm.”
He blinked his wolf eyes. “Don’t take off, cold.”
So what I dreamed of last night wasn’t a dream?
Xie Qiang couldn’t help but turn her head, her face collapsing as she banged her forehead against the stone wall.
This is too embarrassing!!!
Seeing her hit the wall, Mo Yin dropped his hands to the ground and crawled over. Looking at her reddened forehead, he lifted his lips and blew on it.
“Sleeping?”
His gaze landed on her clothing buttons again.
Xie Qiang quickly held the buttons tight. “First… let’s sleep like this first!”
The youth in black nodded and lay down while holding her. “Mm.”
Xie Qiang closed her eyes. Her mind was a bit of a mess. One moment she was thinking about last night’s “dream,” the next she was thinking about the night with Sen Ji, and finally, she remembered how Guide Shu “purified” two Sentinels at the same time back at the war zone.
A-class Guides were accustomed to this, and Sentinels clearly accepted this behavior as the default. S-class Guides could even have multiple Sentinel husbands.
But as a modern person who had received a moral education, although Xie Qiang was quite open-minded in theory, she was still somewhat constrained in her behavior.
She needed to adapt.
As she was adapting, Xie Qiang fell asleep. As night fell and the temperature in the cave plummeted, she shivered and was woken by the cold.
Her icy blue cat eyes stared at the cool and beautiful youth in black opposite her, her eyes filled with a longing for warmth.
What else is there to adapt to?
I’m about to freeze to death! Is there anything more important than my life?
Just as she was pondering how to wake Mo Yin and say those embarrassing words, the wolf youth—who should have been asleep—opened his eyes. His lips parted slightly: “Cold?”
Xie Qiang nodded somewhat bashfully.
She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but Mo Yin seemed to curl his lips slightly. Looking closely, however, he still had that expressionless look with his lips lightly pursed. It was just that in those dark gold eyes, a golden light like shifting sand faintly flickered.
He stared at those buttons. With a light hook of his finger, he skillfully flicked them open.
One, two, three…
Xie Qiang’s ears turned red and itchy. She couldn’t help but press down on the youth’s hand. “I’ll do it myself.”
She moved sluggishly, trying her best not to think too much about things, until she felt the youth beside her seem to sit up. Only then did she snap back to reality and turn to look.
She saw Mo Yin cleanly strip the black compression shirt over his head. He shook his head, and two long strands of dark gray hair by his temples draped over his shoulders. This enticed Xie Qiang to involuntarily follow the hair down to the tips, and then her gaze could no longer pull away.
Unlike the solid feel of Hong Que’s broad shoulders and thick waist, Mo Yin’s physique was more suited to that sexy “broad shoulders and narrow waist” look. At the curve of his waist, dimples were embedded in that cool, fair, and delicate skin. Thin muscles clung to his bone structure, outlining faint blue-red veins. Beneath the skin, veins were faintly visible, exuding an unintentional sexiness and allure.
Xie Qiang watched with wide eyes until the youth placed his hand on his belt. Only then did she quickly shift her gaze away like a startled kitten, her earlobes turning so red they looked like they might bleed.
Xie Qiang! You big pervert!
With her small hands trembling as she finished undressing, she prepared to drape the clothes over herself when she suddenly felt a hand lightly rest on her back.
Warm, hot fingertips lightly caressed a patch of skin beside her spine. She turned her head slightly and saw Mo Yin’s wolf eyes staring at her back in a daze, not shifting for a second.
He was… wait!
Xie Qiang suddenly remembered. That spot was where Sen Ji had left the permanent mark!
Mo Yin stared at the tooth marks on the girl’s back and blinked.
Here, it was bitten.
The wide-open tooth marks exuded a sense of predatory danger, like a Tiger King patrolling his territory, coldly eyeing any low-level hyenas coveting this land.
So ugly.
The youth Sentinel thought silently.
“Mo Yin?” Xie Qiang felt a bit ticklish from his touch, and also a bit embarrassed.
She inexplicably felt like she was on a secret date with a little lover, only to be discovered with marks just left by her boyfriend.
Fortunately, the sensation on her back vanished.
Xie Qiang turned back. Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she felt a scorching arm slide in to wrap around her waist. Then, the youth pressed his entire body against her, his nose lightly rubbing against her nape through her hair.
The girl’s entire body shivered.
So ticklish.
The burning temperature surged in continuously, causing her icy back to warm up bit by bit. She couldn’t help but shrink her feet. The moment she moved, she felt her legs being heavily pressed down by Mo Yin’s right leg.
The youth wrapped her up tightly. The arm she was pillowed on curved slightly, the muscle of his arm pressing lightly against her forehead. Her lips were lightly teased by his fingers, creating a faint, itchy sensation.
Xie Qiang hadn’t paid much attention at first, but as Mo Yin’s teasing became more frequent, she finally realized he had become addicted to playing with her. She couldn’t help but open her mouth to bite his index finger, wanting to teach him a lesson.
Translator’s Note: “Dog things” (狗事 – gǒu shì) is a funny way to say someone is doing something shameless or behaving like a rascal. Also, the mention of “Tiger King” (虎王 – hǔ wáng) refers to Sen Ji’s mental spirit. Mo Yin’s “broad shoulders and narrow waist” (寬肩窄腰 – kuān jiān zhǎi yāo) is the ultimate aesthetic for male leads in web novels! Stay tuned for more “purification” action!
