Shen Tingxi paused for a moment, and then surprise slowly appeared in his deep eyes. Before he forced Mu Ning Jing, he often stayed here, but he always insisted on staying. This was the first time that Mu Ning Jing took the initiative to ask him to stay.
"Ningning, are you sure you want me to stay?" Shen Tingxi's tone was tinged with a high pitch, and it was obvious that he was very happy.
Mu Ning Jing looked up at Shen Tingxi nervously. "I've kept the clothes and daily necessities you left behind when you slept here before. I often clean your room."
Shen Tingxi naturally knew what Mu Ning Jing meant. They would sleep in separate rooms, just like before. Although he was a little disappointed, he was still very happy. It was a good beginning to stay.
He couldn't rush it. He could feel that Mu Ning Jing was trying to get closer to him. He believed that they would get better and better.
After entering the room, Mu Ning Jing took out Shen Tingxi's pajamas and razor and handed them to him, asking him to wash up.
Shen Tingxi came out after washing up. When he passed by Mu Ning Jing's room, he saw her sitting quietly by the bed, holding her mobile phone on her lap with her head down. He didn't know what she was thinking. Shen Tingxi gently knocked on the door twice. Mu Ning Jing looked up at him. "I'm done. You can go wash up."
Mu Ning Jing pursed her lips and nodded. After watching Shen Tingxi go into the next room, she turned on the mobile phone in her hand, which had a black screen. The screen showed Doctor Qin's phone number. Mu Ning Jing still didn't dare to make the call. She exited the address book page, clicked on WeChat, and sent a message to Doctor Qin. [Doctor Qin, I want to try the forced therapy you mentioned.]
Mu Ning Jing went back to the room after washing up. Doctor Qin had already replied. [It's great that you can muster up the courage to face the past. You're very brave, but you might suffer a lot of mental trauma. If you want, I can go with you.]
Mu Ning Jing was willing to tell Doctor Qin everything not only because Shuxin said that he was reliable, but also because she had never met him. If they met, she felt that she wouldn't be able to share her feelings so freely with him in the future. Therefore, Mu Ning Jing refused. [Thank you. I can do it myself.]
Soon, Doctor Qin sent another message. [It's okay if you don't want me to go, but I suggest that you ask someone to go with you. Your boyfriend or Mrs. Huo can do it.]
Shuxin was pregnant with twins now, so she needed to rest well. Mu Ning Jing couldn't go and cause her trouble.
As for Shen Tingxi, Mu Ning Jing didn't want him to accompany her. She couldn't erase the dark past and couldn't give Shen Tingxi a bright and beautiful version of herself. However, she didn't want him to face her past. If he did, she would feel that she was even less worthy of him.
Everyone wanted to show their best side in front of the person they loved.
Mu Ning Jing only replied with one word. [Okay.]
Perhaps because she had decided to go back and face Lv Zhiwen, she felt pressured. Mu Ning Jing was immersed in her past nightmares the whole night. When she woke up in the morning, she was in a bad mood. Fortunately, Shen Tingxi had already gone out for a run. Otherwise, he would definitely be worried if he saw her like this.
Mu Ning Jing washed up and started to make breakfast. After breakfast, she stood on the balcony and looked downstairs as usual, looking for Shen Tingxi. This time, she didn't see him running vigorously. Instead, she saw him surrounded by several aunties in the community. She didn't know what they were talking about.
Looking at those people's sympathetic and mocking faces, as well as Shen Tingxi's handsome face that was as black as the bottom of a pot, Mu Ningjing could roughly guess what those people had said to Shen Tingxi.
They must be talking about her and Mu Yiqing again.
Before long, Mu Ning Jing saw Shen Tingxi walking through the crowd towards the building. Those people even chased after him and said a few words.
Mu Ning Jing turned and went into the living room. She waited at the door and heard familiar footsteps at the door. She opened the door.
Shen Tingxi's hand, which was raised in the air and was about to press the doorbell, paused. Then, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He entered the door and said as he changed his shoes, "Were you waiting for me at the door?"
His tone was relaxed. It didn't look like he had been bullied downstairs at all.
Mu Ning Jing knew that Shen Tingxi didn't want her to be sad. She couldn't help but gently hug this gentle and considerate man from behind.
Shen Tingxi was stunned. After coming back this time, his Ningning seemed to be especially proactive. He turned around, held her shoulders, and looked at her with a smile. "Throwing yourself into my arms so early in the morning. Aren't you afraid that I'll bully you?"
Mu Ning Jing shook her head and snuggled into Shen Tingxi's arms. She hugged his narrow waist from the front and said softly, "You won't."
Shen Tingxi was speechless. Who said that he wouldn't? He really wanted to hug her and kiss her fiercely.
But he only dared to think about it.
Shen Tingxi suppressed the rising desire in his heart and hugged Mu Ning Jing helplessly and dotingly. He rested his chin on her hair and said, "Don't trust me too much when it comes to this kind of thing. I'm a normal man. When facing the woman I love, it's inevitable that there will be times when I can't control myself."
Mu Ning Jing's body stiffened. She got up from Shen Tingxi's arms and looked up at him helplessly.
Shen Tingxi pressed Mu Ning Jing into his arms again. "Don't worry. I won't force you. At most … I'll hug and kiss you when I can't control myself."
Mu Ning Jing leaned in Shen Tingxi's arms and didn't move. After a while, she said softly, "It's okay to hug and kiss."
Shen Tingxi looked at the woman in his arms with some surprise. He thought that he had heard wrong. He reached out and lifted her chin. Their eyes met and he confirmed again. "It's okay to hug and kiss?"
His gaze was so hot that she couldn't look straight at it. Mu Ning Jing turned her head and wanted to lower it to avoid his gaze, but he gently pinched her chin and didn't let go. Mu Ning Jing couldn't escape, so she lowered her eyes. Her face was as red as a cooked shrimp. She said softly, "Aren't you hugging me now? Last night … you kissed me last night. "
Shen Tingxi's deep eyes seemed to burst with countless fireworks. They were colorful and dazzling. He lowered his head and kissed Mu Ning Jing's lips. He immediately began to enjoy the benefits that he had worked so hard to obtain.
However, Shen Tingxi didn't dare to kiss for too long. He was afraid that he would be unable to control himself and scare Mu Ning Jing. It would be troublesome if she was disgusted and afraid of his approach in the future. It wasn't easy to make such progress. He had to be steady. Haste makes waste.
With the painful lesson last time, Shen Tingxi deeply understood that he couldn't rush Mu Ning Jing. He had to be steady. Even if he couldn't be steady … he had to be steady.
After Shen Tingxi let go of Mu Ning Jing, he reluctantly kissed her lips twice before turning around and entering the bathroom.
Mu Ning Jing leaned against the shoe cabinet at the door and covered her hot cheeks with both hands. Her heart was beating so fast that she couldn't control herself. Her body was weak and she couldn't stand steadily. After a while, her chaotic breathing slowly returned to normal.
It wasn't that she wasn't afraid. Otherwise, her back wouldn't have been covered with a layer of cold sweat. But after the kiss, she carefully recalled it and felt sweet in her heart. This feeling was contradictory and throbbing. It was very torturous.
