But not leaving, under Mu Chenxi's gaze, he could not continue.
Even though he really wanted to.
If it were the past, Fu Yanshen wouldn't have considered these things.
He would not care about Mu Chenxi's rejection, whether the rejection she voiced was sincere or insincere.
He had ways to make her surrender in his embrace.
To make her willing.
But now, after a long while, Fu Yanshen barely squeezed out a word, "I..."
His lips parted and closed, wanting to say he couldn't control himself.
But meeting Mu Chenxi's eyes.
The words got stuck in his throat.
Silence continued to spread.
Mu Chenxi quietly watched Fu Yanshen, not that she didn't want to speak, but for a moment, didn't know what to say.
She knew she responded to Fu Yanshen in her sleep, her own body aware.
That was beyond her control.
But, she couldn't accept that Fu Yanshen took advantage of her while she was asleep.
