<h3>Chapter 110: Crazy For Him</h3> Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios An hour later, Tang Yuanchu came back to the ward. After confirming that Bai Muchuan’s condition was not serious, he returned to the office with Xie Hui. Xiang Wan stayed behind alone. It was very quiet inside the ward. Bai Muchuan was on the drip. One of his hand was still grasping onto Xiang Wan’s hand, which after sitting for a long time, she started to feel sleepy as well. However, she couldn’t fall asleep as she needed to watch the drip. Xiang Wan gave a yawn as she tried to stay awake. She took out her mobile phone, rested her arms on the bed with one hand flipping through the pages of a novel she was reading on her phone… When the nurse came in to check the drip, she was reading. When the sun was setting, she was still reading. Not sure how long time had passed, she kept reading when she suddenly felt a strange sensation, lifted her head reflexively and met the deep-set eyes of Bai Muchuan. He was awake but did not speak or move. He just looked at her like that, quiet and focused as if he would continue to look at her till the ends of earth. That look was as if filled with all kinds of emotions yet it was as simple as a blank sheet of paper. People with good looks have such charm. Even a gaze from them could leave someone flustered and troubled. Xiang Wan’s heart jolt for an instant and her scalp felt numb. “You’re awake?” “Hm.” Bai Muchuan’s lips curved into a smile. “Let go of my hand now?” Xiang Wan furrowed her eyebrows when she looked at her hand that he had been holding on to all this while. “My hand’s all numb now! Do you know how uncomfortable it is?” Bai Muchuan did not answer but slowly let go of her hand. “Tsk…” Xiang Wan pulled back and kept rubbing her hand but was relieved as she felt better now. Who said holding each other’s hand is romantic? When the duration lasts too long, it would become a pain in the neck. “Help me buy a packet of cigarettes!” Bai Muchuan said while his gaze was still on her; his eyes were bright and clear, as if his pupils were spilled by ink, his eyes were more distinctive after waking up. “No smoking!” Xiang Wan immediately refused without hesitation. “You’re a patient.” “Aye! I’m fine now.” Bai Muchuan puffed a sigh. “Forget it, I’ll go get them myself.” He raised his head to look at the drip and frowned in dissatisfaction. “This is enough, it’s no big deal anyway. Go! Get the nurse to remove the IV!” “Why are you so obstinate?” Xiang Wan gave him a sidelong glance. “Do you know that you were drugged, Detective Bai? Do you know you almost lost your life? Do you know you scared everyone to death, Detective Bai?” Bai Muchuan: “…” Xiang Wan: “So do you think it’s suitable to act tough in this kind of situation?” Her words started to sound stern, as if she was lecturing disobedient kids. Bai Muchuan looked at her for a moment. “I know.” “Hm? Know what?” It was Xiang Wan’s turn to get puzzled. “I knew I got drugged.” As he said this, he looked at the drip with disdain. He had actually wanted to remove the IV from his hand when he received a stern glare from Xiang Wan and retracted his hands. “Help me take out my mobile phone. I need to make a call to find out the progress of the case.” Xiang Wan furrowed her brows as she looked at him. “You should be resting now.” She persuaded. Bai Muchuan: “Get my mobile phone!” Alright, hardworking Detective Bai. Xiang Wan felt powerless. “Where’s the mobile phone?” Bai Muchuan lied down lazily while his gaze moved down. “My pocket.” “…” In actual fact, it was strange to get something from a man’s trouser pocket. Even if he was a patient right now, it was just not convenient. Xiang Wan narrowed her eyes. “Can’t you use your other hand?” Bai Muchuan’s eyes seemed to darken. “The mobile phone’s on my left, my trouser’s pocket is very deep. It’s not convenient…” Is it convenient for the right hand to get something from the left pocket? It was normal for people to use their right hand to get things from their right pocket and the left hand to get into the left pocket… Xiang Wan simulated these actions in her brain, and concluded that it really did seem not convenient. Looking at Bai Muchuan’s serious expression, she discarded the “unhealthy” thoughts in her mind and went over to the other side of the bed. His trousers seemed rather baggy, it was not those body hugging type of trousers. Lucky! Xiang Wan felt relieved inside and her fingers slipped gently into his pocket. “Where is it?” “Inside.” “… Nothing.” “Further down.” Such deep pockets. That’s scary. What did he keep inside these pockets usually? Xiang Wan looked suspiciously at him while continuing to go further in. “But there’s no mobile phone?” “Go in further.” “…” Bai Muchuan peered at her embarrassed face and laughed suddenly. “What are you afraid of? You’re searching right next to the opening of my pocket like a thief. How can you get my mobile phone like this?” D*rn! This is a sensitive place, mind you? What if I accidentally touch something I shouldn’t… Xiang Wan gave him a displeased look when Bai Muchuan looked away with a light chuckle. “You look earlier is so, not innocent.” Xiang Wan’s heart missed a beat. Her face started to burn as he had guessed correctly what she was thinking about earlier. “Don’t sprout nonsense! Who’s not innocent? You’re the one who’s not innocent…” “I’m only asking you to help me get my mobile phone, how am I not innocent?” Bai Muchuan looked at her with a straight face, the smile was growing in his eyes. Even if Xiang Wan had not thought of that and was really purely searching for his phone, the gaze of Bai Muchuan right now made her feel that her motive was not innocent. “Fine, you shut up!” She suddenly flared up. “I’ll find your phone and take it out, it’s just a simple task anyway!” With a loud snort, she bent down and used more strength to go into the pocket… And, her face was flushed red in an instant. Well, she got the mobile phone but she came in contact with something that she shouldn’t… “Xiang Wan.” Bai Muchuan suddenly said her name, with a hoarse voice. “Is that deliberate?” “No, of course not!” Xiang Wan rushed to prove her innocence; her cheeks were as red as the well-cooked shrimp. “You’re the one who’s deliberate. Otherwise, why would you-you-you…” She was unable to say it. “You little imp! Take out my mobile phone now!” Bai Muchuan suddenly gritted his teeth. “You’re blaming me now? You didn’t take out my phone and you kept moving around, it would be weird if I don’t bleeping have a reaction!” “…” Xiang Wan quickly pulled her hand out as if she had scalded her hand. Their gazes met; she wished the ground would swallow her up at that instant. Earlier on, her brain went completely blank and her logical reasoning had been fed to the dogs. She felt she had lost control of her brain as well as the coordination to her body. She really didn’t know what she was thinking and doing at that embarrassing moment… When she tried to recall what happened earlier, it was still blank. That was terribly embarrassing! She really wanted to find a hole and bury herself inside. Nevertheless, Bai Muchuan took the mobile phone from her and started to make a call. “It’s me, Bai Muchuan. Get Tang Yuanchu to the phone!” His serious attitude towards work had greatly relieved Xiang Wan’s nervousness and embarrassment. Huff! She sat back down as if nothing had happened. Bai Muchuan swept a glance at her, his lips curved upwards as he talked to Tang Yuanchu over the phone. … A phonecall. This phonecall took around five to six minutes. Xiang Wan finally regained her composure. … Bai Muchuan hang up the phone and looked at her. “Still feeling embarrassed about it?” “…” Xiang Wan gritted her teeth. “I… You’re a rogue!” “I should be the one to call you a rogue, alright?” Bai Muchuan pursed his lips and looked at her seriously with a straight face. “Xiang Wan, aren’t you considering to take responsibility?” “?” Huh? “You took liberties of me. Whatever that can be touched and not to be touched, you’ve done it all.” “…” This fellow is so brazen! Xiang Wan was cussing and swearing inside her head! As for her face… it was now red as tomato. She was a fair-skinned girl. When she was tense, excited, drank alcohol or was provoked, she would be like the peach blossoms in spring–charming and bewitching. When Bai Muchuan saw that look of hers, his eyes were smiling. “Say something!” “What should I say?” Xiang Was was still trying to resist. “Crazy! I can’t be bothered with you.” “Say if you want me or Cheng Zheng, hm?” He refused to let go of the topic. It was a question full of emotions where he said it with his low-pitched, alluring voice where it felt like music to the ears and went straight to her heart. Xiang Wan was in a daze, unable to say a word. Her ears, heart, nerves, cells… Everything was fighting against her sensibility, every part of her was screaming: I can’t stand it anymore, can’t stand it anymore! He’s too charming! Xiang Wan had never been in love before, not even a one-sided love back when she was a student. The most touching moment was only limited to the gorgeous looking actors of some dramas when they make affectionate confessions or she came across some passionate scenes during reading that moved her by making her heart race… However, all these were just scenes that never happened to her, it couldn’t be compared to Bai Muchuan’s emotional gaze and dashing face. This is too horrifying! She realized that she was not like herself at the moment. She felt she was behaving like a dreadful 17 or 18 year old teenager. She got reminded of the times when she watched Korean dramas, the exaggerated and conflicted reactions of the leading female characters. Now that she experienced the same thing, she did not feel that they were exaggerating anymore. “Bai Muchuan!” She heard her heart beating wildly as well as her slightly trembling voice. “You’re serious?” Bai Muchuan was taken aback for a moment. He did not speak but beckoned to her. Xiang Wan was baffled and leaned slightly over to him with a bewildered expression. Bai Muchuan took a glance at her before taking the hip-hop style cap from the bedside table and placed it on her head. His cap contained the smell of his shampoo. It was slightly larger and heavier for her, almost covering Xiang Wan’s eyes. “Hey, what are you doing?” “Hur!” He was cracked up by her comical look and pulled down the cap further. And with that action, the cap covered her eyes perfectly. Bai Muchuan’s warm breathing immediately fell on her face whereas she was as if entered a world of darkness, caught up in a magician’s spell that was slowly enveloping her, stimulating her sensitive and tiny hairs on her skin that they stood on ends as though an electrical current was going through her body. She felt numb all over and couldn’t help giving a quiver… “I’m serious.” He answered. He held her head, not giving her a chance to remove the cap or giving her any chance to resist. “I’m asking you seriously and I’m also seriously thinking of… kissing you.” His palms were moist from perspiration, his voice low and sounded hazy. “Can I?” What is he saying? I’m going crazy! Xiang Wan’s maiden heart was instantly revived as if it was beating because of him. As well as… crazy for him. She heard him all around her; Bai Muchuan’s warmth, enthusiasm and youthfulness. “Are you kidding me?” Her heart almost jumped out of her mouth. She eagerly wanted to lift her hat and see if he was just pulling her leg. However, he did not give her the chance to do so. She was like a blind person, hearing him calling her name with his attractive voice. “Xiang Wan, I’m not joking. His voice sounded even deeper, hoarse and disturbed Xiang Wan’s heart. She said softly, “What did you… say?” Sigh! Bai Muchuan seemed to heave a soft sigh. Yet that sounded like a chuckle too. “Can’t you just focus? Hm?” “I-I can’t see anything. I’m unable to focus.” Xiang Wan sniffed. Her small, refined nose moved slightly, releasing the amorous feelings that could not be covered by the cap… The one who got blindfolded seemed to have become Bai Muchuan instead. The ward started to get dim, and he could only see her beautiful pink lips. They were as if petals of pink, tempting him to pick them. “Xiang Wan, I want to kiss you. And—I won’t give you a chance to resist.” He held her head tight, pulling her towards him and closed his eyes seriously. His lips landed on the tip of her nose, stopped for a while then slid down to her lips without any warning… It was soft. And gentle. It was a light kiss… Xiang Wan felt dizzy through the entire thing, completely absorbed in the tenderness he created. The moment he kissed her, the tingling sensation shook her soul, and her head became sober. She suddenly opened her eyes but she could only see darkness. She removed the cap and stared at him like a disconcerted groundhog. “Bai Muchuan, you already have a girlfriend. You… how could you do this to me, and her?!”
