Chapter 922: Locked in



He pressed his lips.

This is definitely sis\'s work…

Was this always her plan or she thought about it because I almost exposed her in front of brother-in-law?

His phone buzzed with a message just then that was none other than from Nuo.

\'Good night, little brother~ I am sure you would be jumping in joy with my gift, right? Right? Worry not. Nobody will disturb your private time with Shui~\'

A look of horror flashed through his face.

Sis!!!

He was frantically typing back when he got another message.

\'Also, you know not to raise an alarm and free Shui from the room, right? I have an image to maintain, you know~\'

A drop of sweat trickled down the side of his cheek. It wasn\'t a question but an ultimatum laced in a threat.

"Is it working?" Shui asked.

"Not really…"

"Oof. I think there is really some problem with the door then. It cannot get suddenly locked out, right?"

He closed his eyes.

If sis is here, then yes it\'s possible…

"Let me call Bro here," she sighed.

"No!" Jin grabbed the phone out of her hands, taking her aback.

"Huh? What happened?"

Jin placed his hand on his chest trying to pacify himself. Shui blinked in confusion. "Is everything alright?"

He struggled to smile. "It\'s…gotten late. Everybody has already retired to their rooms so…it\'s not nice…to disturb them…" he said as a broken whisper.

Her eyes slightly widened. "But how can we stay here locked in for the entire night? We have to tell someone. And don\'t worry. Bro is a late sleeper," she rolled her eyes.

Jin lacked tears to shed.

How can I make her not leave without exposing sis?

Shui frowned. "You are acting strange." Find exclusive stories on mvl

All of a sudden, Jin collapsed on his knees and made a one eighty degree bow. "I beg you. I sincerely beg you! Please stay the night here without calling anybody for help."

"..."

"What has gotten into you?" She asked, incredulous.

"The love for my dear life."

"..."

"I will die if I allow you to leave. It will be a very painful and agonizing death for me."

"..."

"So if you have ever thought of me as your friend even once, then please do me this favor. Please, please, please."

Shui\'s brow twitched heavily. She gave it a thought and asked, "Did…somebody plan this? Because otherwise you wouldn\'t ask me this. Or…beg," she coughed.

He gulped with his forehead still touching the floor.

"This cannot be Dad\'s plan at all. He wants men to stay from me, not locked in the same room. So Mom, Bro or sister-in-law?"

"I don\'t know what you are talking about…" he said in a low, almost squeaky voice.

Shui continued to decode. "But you cannot be that terrified of Bro. The most he would do is complain or pout. So Mom or sister-in-law?"

"Please have some mercy on me and don\'t ask anything," he cried.

"Na, na. Sister-in-law is so sweet. She couldn\'t have planned this."

"..."

That\'s where you are so, soooooo wrong…

Shui puffed out her cheeks. "It\'s definitely Mom! I cannot believe that she can threaten you like this."

Aunt Xinyi, I really want to defend your honor but my hands are tied. I am so sorry!

She let out a sigh and clutched her temple. "Mom is impossible. I will talk to Mom and-"

"No! Can you please…just let this go?" His eyes were on the verge of tears.

"Don\'t worry. I figured it out by myself. You didn\'t rat me out so you are safe. Mom won\'t kill you."

Yeah because I will be already dead by sis\'s hands by that time!

"Pleaaaaaaase."

Shui\'s jaw dropped. "Was my Mom always this terrifying?"

No, it\'s sis but you better not know that side of hers.

Her heart ached seeing Jin in such a pitiful state, moreso because this shady plan was her mother\'s concoction.

"Fine…But I will definitely need to talk to her tomorrow. She cannot bully you like this," her brows furrowed.

Yeah, tomorrow\'s problem is tomorrow\'s concern!

"I owe you my life!" he wiped his eyes and tightly pulled her into his relieved embrace. "You are the best!"

Shui blinked rapidly. Her body was suddenly pressed against his with his arms firmly wrapped around her back. A tickling feeling arose in her stomach that made her eyelashes slightly tremble. Jin was hugging her on his own.

It feels nice…she couldn\'t help but think.

When the threat looming over Jun\'s life dissipated, he realized what he just did. He quietly withdrew and couldn\'t meet her gaze.

"T-that…I got too excited. I am sorry…"

Shui stiffened. Her expression dropped and she pursed her lips. Jin took a glance at her and his own countenance slightly paled.

Damn it, you stupid Jin! I made her all uncomfortable now! Control your emotions!

Jin fidgeted around a bit but eventually walked towards the bed and grabbed a pillow. He cleared his throat. "I will sleep on the couch."

Shui stared at him and simply nodded in response. It made him feel even more miserable.

They freshened up taking turns and got changed into comfortable night pajamas, which the guest room\'s wardrobe strangely held extra sets of clothes.

Sis had planned quite far ahead…he shook his head.

Jin laid back on the couch and stuffed the pillow near the head rest.

Shui asked, "Are you sure you will be comfortable on a couch?"

"Yup. Don\'t worry about me," he smiled.

"...Okay."

They didn\'t talk much after that and switched off the lights. Shui pulled over the duvet and breathed out in silence. She couldn\'t help but get slightly nervous with Jin\'s presence. She stopped herself from thinking about it and closed her eyes.
