Fantasy is wonderful.
Reality is cruel.
When Wen Rou ca back from her bath wearing a very thick set of pajamas, revealing not a sliver of healthy skin, Mu Jinyu's beautiful fantasies were instantly shattered.
"Wen Rou, aren't you hot wearing all that?" Mu Jinyu couldn't help but ask.
Wen Rou's cheeks were sowhat flushed, and her glance was evasive as she replied, "It's okay, I guess. It's getting late; let's go to sleep."
After saying this, Wen Rou returned to her bed, pulled up the thin blanket, and then turned off the lights.
The room suddenly beca dim, only the faint glow of a street lamp filtering through the thin curtains.
Wen Rou lay on the bed, her eyes wide open, feeling nervous and overheated.
After all, having a young man suddenly in the room, even though she felt he wouldn't do anything to her, the nervousness was nevertheless inescapable.
Unable to fall asleep due to the stuffiness of the room, only one window for ventilation, and the ineffectively whirring electric fan sending hot air, she covered herself with a thin blanket, feeling unbearably hot.
Soon, she began to toss and turn restlessly.
Just as Mu Jinyu, who was trying to fall asleep with his eyes closed, heard this, he opened his eyes and asked, "Wen Rou, can't you sleep?"
"Mm." Wen Rou was startled by Mu Jinyu's sudden voice, but after hearing his question, she felt slightly reassured, although any hint of sleepiness she had managed to gather had completely dissipated.
"It's okay, you go ahead and sleep; I'm sowhat insomniac," Wen Rou casually said.
She was, in fact, sowhat insomniac, partly because she didn't completely trust Mu Jinyu, and partly because of the heat.
Previously, when she was alone, she would wear very light sumr pajamas, the kind that are slightly sheer, which allowed her to sleep well even without air conditioning.
But with Mu Jinyu staying temporarily, she obviously couldn't wear those kinds of pajamas.
Therefore, wearing more substantial winter pajamas and covering herself with a thin blanket to conceal her body, in the stuffy room, it didn't take long for Wen Rou to feel unbearably hot, feeling even the air from the electric fan was hot.
Mu Jinyu could vaguely guess Wen Rou's thoughts, so he sat up from his place on the floor and said, "Wen Rou, do you feel too hot?"
At his words, Wen Rou was imdiately frightened, even thinking that he might have improper thoughts about her.
But then Mu Jinyu added, "I brought so Cooling Ointnt with . If you feel too hot, you can apply so and it shouldn't feel hot anymore."
Upon hearing this, Wen Rou's heart that had been hanging fell slightly back into place, but in the darkness, Mu Jinyu couldn't see that.
Afterward, Wen Rou also noticed that since the electric fan in the room was set to oscillate, it was ant to blow on both, but now it was only blowing steadily on her side and not oscillating towards Mu Jinyu at all. Otherwise, she thought she might indeed die of heat.
And Mu Jinyu hadn't complained about being hot at all, which made it seem like that Cooling Ointnt was indeed very effective.
"Snap!"
At that ti.
Mu Jinyu, not hearing Wen Rou's reply, got up and went to the door, flicked the light switch, and instantly the room lit up again.
Turning around to see Wen Rou's cheeks flushed from the overheating, Mu Jinyu gave a wry smile and said, "Ah, sorry for troubling you, take this Cooling Ointnt and use it."
Mu Jinyu knew that when Wen Rou was alone, she definitely wouldn't dress so heavily, understanding it was because of him that she was too hot to sleep.
Therefore, after speaking, he went over to her, took out a small dicine box that resembled a balm, and then handed it to Wen Rou.
Wen Rou took it in a daze.
Mu Jinyu explained, "This is a dicated paste I made using Snow Lotus, Ice Toad Oil, Ice Spirit Fruit, among other dicinal herbs. Apply a bit on your arms and lower back, and you should feel cool and refreshing all over, but rember not to apply too much."
"Oh, okay," Wen Rou replied, then she opened the lid of the box, and inside was a snow-white paste, looking pretty much like solidified lard."
Dipping her fingertip in it, Wen Rou first spread it on her forearm.
Instantly, she felt a very cool and refreshing sensation emanating from where she applied it, making her whole arm feel chilly.
"Wow, it's magical," Wen Rou couldn't help exclaiming.
Only then did she understand why Mu Jinyu wasn't complaining or making any noise even without a fan.
It turned out to be such a divine artifact to stave off the heat!
Then, she applied it to her other arm.
After Wen Rou had finished applying it to both arms, Mu Jinyu turned back, lay down again on the floor, and warned, "Rember not to apply too much."
If it had been convenient, Mu Jinyu would have liked to help Wen Rou apply it.
Because if it were applied too liberally, a normal person couldn't handle it, and if too much were applied, one could potentially freeze to death.
"Mm."
"Mm," Wen Rou responded, and seeing that Mu Jinyu wasn't peeking at her, she quietly lifted the hem of her nightgown and dabbed so dicinal paste on her lower back.
After applying it, Wen Rou felt so cool, as if she were in a room with air conditioning, and even the stuffy wind from the fan now felt sowhat chilly.
Wen Rou quickly turned off the fan.
"Alright, let's sleep, after applying it, you should be able to sleep well through the night," Mu Jinyu said with a slight smile as he lay on the floor and turned to look at Wen Rou.
"Mm."
"Mm," Wen Rou responded and then turned off the light again.
In the darkness, neither of them spoke again.
Mu Jinyu, who was used to sleeping and waking early, had a super beautiful woman by his side now, but after feeling drowsy, he didn't think much and soon drifted off to sleep.
And Wen Rou, although she no longer felt that stifling heat, still couldn't fall asleep quickly with a man in the room.
But listening to Mu Jinyu's steady breathing, she smiled slightly and began to feel sleepy too, not knowing when she also fell asleep.
"Mm?! So hot!"
In the middle of the night.
All of a sudden, Wen Rou felt very stuffy and heat woke her up; she sleepily opened her eyes and checked the ti on her phone, realizing it was only one o'clock in the morning.
She thought to herself, perhaps the effects of the Cooling Ointnt had worn off? Maybe she should apply so more.
Half asleep, Wen Rou opened the box of dicinal paste again and sared a large amount, beginning to apply it evenly over her body. The rıghtful source is novel fire
In that mont, she had forgotten the reminder from Mu Jinyu and used a bit too much.
After finishing, she once again felt this long-absent coldness and, feeling satisfied, smiled and fell back into a deep sleep.
But half an hour later.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
All of a sudden, Wen Rou was jolted awake from her sleep, feeling cold as if she had plunged into an ice cellar, shivering all over, her teeth chattering and making a cracking sound.
Only then did she realize that she had applied too much Cooling Ointnt.
Wen Rou felt like she was about to freeze to death and started regretting not taking Mu Jinyu's warning seriously.
