Chapter 579
Mu Mingtang was so shocked that she couldn’t speak. This was him not using any ruthless actions? This was him showing mercy? If so, then what did Xie Xuanchen look like when he was serious in a fight?
The rain gradually got heavier as it fell onto Mu Mingtang’s face and started dripping down her chin. Xie Xuanchen sighed when he saw this as he took her to a random eave to take shelter from the rain.
Xie Xuanchen grabbed a handkerchief and handed it to Mu Mingtang, “Wipe your face first.”
Mu Mingtang wanted to refuse, but Xie Xuanchen simply held her shoulders and was going to do it himself when he realised that she wasn’t moving. With that,
Mu Mingtang hurriedly agreed, “Okay, don’t move, I’ll do it myself.”
Mu Mingtang slowly wiped the water off her face. She had been in the rain for a long time and that resulted in her face being cold. Moreover, her hair was twisted into clumps and they started to stick to her face as well. Xie Xuanchen saw that the delicate little face was entirely drenched by the water, but all it did was make her skin appear clearer and fairer. Her eyelashes were covered with tiny water droplets that threatened to fall whenever she made the slightest movements. When he saw that, it felt like he had an itch that he couldn’t scratch.
After Mu Mingtang wiped her face, she felt uncomfortable with her wet hair and wanted to twist and dry the handkerchief in order for her to wipe her hair. Xie Xuanchen saw it and took the handkerchief naturally, wringing it dry for her.
Mu Mingtang flashed a fleeting glance at him, as if surprised at his enthusiasm to help. The girl then squeezed the water out of her hair with his handkerchief tightly, but even that made Xie Xuanchen feel another itch.
