A female character in a book, regaining her luck

Chapter 97 A Serious Trial

Lu Huanchu hugged Mu Chaosheng and felt an unprecedented sense of security.

He felt that at this moment there was nothing happier than being firmly chosen by the one he loved.

He wanted to hold her like this forever.

But the person in his arms became restless and tried to push him away very forcefully.

"Why can't you let me hold you for a little longer? Even for a little while?" Lu Huanchu said coquettishly, unable to hide the disappointment on his face.

Mu Chaosheng not only rejected him firmly, he also pointed coldly at the sofa opposite the coffee table, motioning him to go to the opposite side.

They were so affectionate just now, what happened?

Lu Huanchu was confused, but he smelled a hint of danger from Mu Chaosheng: if he didn't listen to her, the consequences could be serious!

So even though he was extremely reluctant, Lu Huanchu still sat down obediently.

He sat in an unusually proper posture, as cautious as a student who was ready to be scolded by his teacher, and looked at Mu Chaosheng pitifully: "A Chao..."

Mu Chaosheng was as serious as a judge and simply ignored Lu Huanchu's coquettishness.

"From now on, I'll ask you questions."

Lu Huanchu nodded his head like pounding garlic.

“Why are you so cold during your business trip?”

After Lu Huanchu heard this, he was confused and surprised.

During the more than one month business trip, his longing for Mu Chaosheng was as fierce and uncontrollable as a flood.

He often saw news about her company in magazines every other day. Thinking that there were so many things in her company that required her to do them personally, he couldn't help but worry about her.

In addition to company matters, she and Zhu Xin were still engaged on the surface. He was afraid that his strong emotions would put pressure on her and cause her unnecessary trouble.

He really tried his best countless times to suppress the urge to hear her voice and see her every day.

I just didn't expect that these were actually seen as coldness in her eyes.

He was indeed too selfish. Why didn't he think that she might be the same as him!

"If I say that I don't dare to contact you frequently because I want to hear your voice, see you, and be by your side so much, and I'm worried that it will make you feel stressed, would you believe me?"

Mu Chaosheng's tense face relaxed a little bit, and finally he couldn't hold it back and broke into a brilliant and arrogant smile, and nodded seriously: "This is a good reason, I like it!"

Lu Huanchu's nervous mood was relieved in an instant, and he couldn't help but smile.

His smile was different from Mu Chaosheng's. It was subtle and reserved, and looked a little shy.

"Don't be too happy too soon, I haven't finished yet!"

When Lu Huanchu looked up, he saw that Mu Chaosheng had returned to his serious image of a judge, but his tone was a little softer than before.

He thought she was cute and funny, but seeing how serious she looked, he could only bear with it and accompany her to create the atmosphere she wanted.

"Master A Chao, please speak!"

"If that's the case, it's better not to contact me. Why do you have to blast me with a few words from time to time? Are you doing this on purpose?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Chaosheng noticed that Lu Huanchu's relaxed expression suddenly changed.

It became extremely heavy, and became something she couldn't understand.

Is this a difficult question to answer?

Lu Huanchu’s silence made Mu Chaosheng feel uneasy.

"Because I'm afraid..."

Lu Huanchu's voice was unusually low, and although he tried his best to control it, a sense of panic seeped out from his tone like a drizzle.

Mu Chaosheng did not ask any further questions, but waited quietly for him to continue.

"Every time it rains, when I see the raindrops falling from the sky, my mind always involuntarily recalls the roar of the engine and the thumping sound of the heavy rain hitting the car body that day."

"What if the brakes break? What if there's a landslide? What if the road collapses? What if another vehicle violates the traffic rules and affects you? There are countless ifs and what-ifs in my mind, and I have no control over them at all."

"I can't control my fear. Whenever I see a cloudy sky, I feel uneasy. Whenever I see rain, I feel scared. I don't know what to do."

"Only when I hear your voice and get your reply, I can understand that day has passed. You stay in Sanchuan and wait for me to come back."

Lu Huanchu lowered his head and rubbed his clasped hands constantly. Whenever he thought of that day, even explaining became a thing that required courage.

“So, every rainy day...”

Without waiting for Lu Huanchu to finish speaking, Mu Chaosheng walked straight to the other side and hugged Lu Huanchu.

"That day has passed. I am safe now. From now on, whenever it is rainy, no matter where I am or what I am doing, I will report to you immediately! I will work hard to make you annoyed by the sound of my voice, okay!"

After listening to Mu Chaosheng's words, Lu Huanchu finally cleared the gloom on his face and smiled with satisfaction: "It's a deal!"

After saying that, he put his arm around Mu Chaosheng's waist and pulled her over to sit on his lap.

Mu Chaosheng wanted to get up, but she was held in Lu Huanchu's arms and could not move at all. She pretended to be angry and said:

"My trial isn't over yet! Be serious!"

"I'm serious!"

Lu Huanchu's eyes, tone, and demeanor were as serious as when he was giving an academic report, and there was nothing wrong with them at all.

Mu Chaosheng snorted as if in compromise.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming back today?"

"Because I wanted to give you a surprise! I thought you would be very happy when I suddenly showed up here, but I didn't expect you to be so cold. Seeing your look, I was at a loss as to what to do!"

Mu Chaosheng actually turned the tables and asked, "Do you really want to give me a surprise, or is there something shameful that you don't want me to know?"

"Shameful?" Lu Huanchu frowned and thought about it seriously. He really couldn't think of anything shameful about him.

Suddenly he thought of something and asked tentatively, "Does a colleague you don't know count?"
