Urban Invincible Medical Divine-Chapter 370 - 269 Shame
Chapter 370: Chapter 269 Shame
Liu Wentian had agreed to accompany Sun Xiaoran to rent a house the next day, so he ended up staying over. He was admittedly a bit excited—any normal person would be thrilled to be alone in a cramped rental with such a beautiful woman.
Especially since there was only one bed in the room!!
What followed, however, made him realize he had been thinking too much. Sun Xiaoran took out a straw mat, covered it with a layer of blanket, and said, “It seems you’ll have to make do with sleeping here tonight.”
Her smile was pure and pristine, which made Liu Wentian feel a bit ashamed the very next moment.
“Liu Wentian, what’s wrong? Don’t tell me you want to sleep in the bed? If that’s so, you take the bed, and I’ll sleep here,” Sun Xiaoran said with a smile.
She had no idea that Liu Wentian’s mind had drifted to notions of sharing the bed.
...
Although she liked Liu Wentian, she was conservative and didn’t let her thoughts wander in that direction. She simply enjoyed being in Liu Wentian’s presence, and the fact that he was spending the night with her and not the blonde beauty made her heart flutter with joy.
“Ah?? No, it’s okay, I’ll sleep on the floor,” Liu Wentian said with an embarrassed laugh.
They went on to chat about a variety of topics, mainly reminiscing about their distant high school days. High school seemed ages ago for Liu Wentian, but Sun Xiaoran seemed to hold a special fondness for that time, gazing at Liu Wentian with an unmistakably affectionate ripple in her eyes.
In the middle of the night, as Liu Wentian slept soundly, he suddenly became vaguely aware of someone watching him.
He cracked open his eyes just a sliver and saw Sun Xiaoran sitting beside him, her hands propping up her chin, her face wearing a complex expression as she gazed at him.
The room was dim, with weak colorful neon lights streaming in from outside the window and falling on Sun Xiaoran’s face, making it appear dreamlike and hazy. She looked like a purple butterfly in the play of light, giving off an innocently foolish charm.
Liu Wentian was puzzled—what was she trying to do? Did he possess such allure? Was she really sitting by his side in the middle of the night to gaze upon his face, as if it were astonishingly handsome?
Sun Xiaoran, unaware that Liu Wentian had cracked his eyes open, continued to look at him motionless. Suddenly, she reached out as if to caress his face but stopped herself, not wishing to wake him.
“The last time I watched you like this was during a lunch break in the third year of high school. You were sleeping like a log, and it seems your face has become even more handsome than before. But I still prefer you as you were back then—when no one else was trying to snatch you away,” Sun Xiaoran murmured softly.
Liu Wentian was overwhelmed with an indescribable feeling, deeply moved.
He had always felt that Sun Xiaoran’s feelings for him were just a simple crush, a maiden’s first flush of love—immature and fleeting, hence never took it too seriously.
But now, he realized this woman was truly one of a kind, stubbornly singular!!
Some women could love many men throughout their lives, while others might only love once, akin to Guo Xiang in ‘The Condor Heroes,’ who falls for Yang Guo and remains loyal for life.
It seemed Sun Xiaoran was that type of woman.
The midnight silence enveloped them, neither speaking a word, the air itself seemingly imbued with a timeless beauty. Finally, Sun Xiaoran stood up, apparently intending to return to her bed to sleep.
Yet, in Liu Wentian’s heart arose an inexplicable sense of melancholy. At that moment, Sun Xiaoran slowly crouched down again and, leaning over, kissed Liu Wentian on the head!!
Instantly, Liu Wentian’s eyes widened in shock!!
Sun Xiaoran’s shaking little hands, her blushing face, having just planted the kiss, looked into Liu Wentian’s surprised eyes—and her eyes widened in response!!
The air seemed to solidify, eerie yet filled with innuendo.

Sun Xiaoran’s tender red lips were still on Liu Wentian’s face, too shocked to move, her eyes swiftly filling with moisture, as if she were on the verge of crying.
She felt so embarrassed she could have died; having gathered the courage to kiss him, she now feared being labeled a female pervert or a bad woman.
“Don’t cry, okay? If I said I was sleepwalking, would you believe me?” Liu Wentian finally broke the silence awkwardly.
Seeing no disgust or loathing in Liu Wentian’s eyes, Sun Xiaoran was less panicky, though still incredibly shy, and she did not respond to his nonsensical question.
“Do you think I’m shameless?” Sun Xiaoran asked, her voice tight with tension.
“Of course not!” Liu Wentian hurriedly replied. “If you were shameless, you wouldn’t have just stolen a kiss—you would have stripped me, handcuffed me, and had your way with me!” He was somewhat afraid Sun Xiaoran might actually start crying; she had seemed so strong at their last meeting, and now she was like a little girl on the brink of tears.
“Pfft!!” Sun Xiaoran, amused by Liu Wentian’s ridiculous comment, couldn’t help but laugh.
“I’m going back to sleep,” she said with an embarrassed tone and then returned to her own bed.
However, Liu Wentian couldn’t sleep anymore. His heart had settled, but after being kissed, he felt an unbearable itching, an unrest that wouldn’t let him sleep.
He closed his eyes, and the image of Sun Xiaoran looking at him in the darkness appeared in his mind. Those eyes were not only filled with love but also with sadness and confusion, which unsettled him.
He didn’t want to let her down when she had given her heart, but he was already involved with other women, and more than one at that. Was he really going to cause more havoc?
Unable to resist, he opened his eyes to look at her, and they locked eyes. Sun Xiaoran, startled like a frightened doe, quickly turned her head aside.
