Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 486 Hu Liena's Embarrassment, Caught in the Act

Feeling Dai Chengfeng's subtle hand gestures, a faint blush appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's usually aloof face.

Like snowflakes on plum blossoms in the cold, though not vibrant, they evoke a deep sense of wonder.

"Who is worried about you?"

She instinctively tried to pull her hand back, her fingertips twitching slightly, but ultimately remained where she was, simply turning her cheek to one side to avoid Dai Chengfeng's gaze.

His voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.

She paused, seemingly feeling that such a denial was too weak, and added a sentence, trying to make her tone more businesslike.

"I just feel that... if something happens to you at this moment, it will inevitably delay the subsequent travel arrangements, which would be troublesome."

This attempt to cover up the truth was completely at odds with her usual straightforwardness and heroic demeanor.

That subtle awkwardness was strikingly similar to that of Hu Liena, who had spoken with Dai Chengfeng here not long ago.

However, Zhu Zhuqing's aloof demeanor only made her hypocrisy seem even more endearing.

Upon seeing this, Dai Chengfeng's eyes flashed with a knowing smile, but he did not point it out.

He tightened his grip slightly, holding her soft, boneless hand even more firmly in his palm.

At the same time, he leaned forward slightly, closing the distance between them. "Oh? Is it really just about the schedule that you're worried about?"

Dai Chengfeng's fingertips lightly and almost imperceptibly brushed across the most delicate and sensitive skin on the inside of her wrist, sending a slight shiver down her spine. "But just now..."

"I seem to see a hint of worry in your eyes."

"you……"

Zhu Zhuqing's heart suddenly started beating out of control.

She discovered that Dai Chengfeng's intense aggression and gentleness could easily disrupt her usually calm and composed demeanor.

The tingling sensation on her wrist, where Dai Chengfeng's fingertips had brushed against it, spread like ripples, leaving her momentarily powerless.

She subconsciously raised her eyelashes and happened to meet Dai Chengfeng's smiling, deep eyes.

Dai Chengfeng gazed at the face so close to his.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as fragile as butterfly wings; the blush on her fair cheeks was gradually deepening, spreading to her ears; her lightly pursed lips, dry from the tension, instead possessed an alluring, moisturizing sheen.

He didn't wait any longer, leaned down, and precisely covered those two cool and soft lips with his own.

"Well……"

A very faint sob, mixed with surprise and embarrassment, escaped from Zhu Zhuqing's throat.

Her body stiffened instinctively the moment they made contact, but she was immediately enveloped by that familiar and comforting scent.

Dai Chengfeng's kiss easily shattered all of Zhu Zhuqing's futile resistance.

Her tense body gradually softened, and she awkwardly but obediently began to respond to the lingering kiss.

She closed her eyes, and her hand, which had been hanging by her side, unconsciously rose and gently grasped the front of his shirt...

The air was filled with a warm and romantic atmosphere, completely different from the flirtatious and manipulative ambiguity that Hu Liena had brought before.

However, just as Dai Chengfeng and Zhu Zhuqing were deeply in love, both slightly intoxicated by this tranquil beauty, almost forgetting everything around them—

A loud, muffled sound, though not loud, was unusually clear and jarring in the otherwise quiet room, and came without warning from the direction of the tall wardrobe in the corner of the room!

The sound clearly indicated that someone inside was experiencing numbness in their legs and feet due to maintaining an awkward posture for an extended period of time...

Or perhaps it was caused by the intense impact of the external scene on one's mind, resulting in a loss of control, a loss of balance, and a heavy impact against the inner wooden cabinet wall!
The sudden noise instantly startled the two people who were immersed in their tender moment!
The lips are separated.

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly opened her eyes, and the misty tears that had filled her eyes were replaced by a sharp, cold gaze in a fraction of a second.

The blush on her face hadn't faded yet, but her gaze was already fixed on the source of the sound—the tightly closed wardrobe!

Dai Chengfeng's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of helplessness and headache instantly swept over him, as if he had just realized it.

He raised his hand to his forehead, sighing inwardly: Just what I feared has come to pass!
Well, the worst-case scenario has still happened.

He could almost picture what the wardrobe looked like right now.

The next second, as if to confirm his guess, the wardrobe door creaked open from the inside with a somewhat disheveled and hasty manner.

The first thing to emerge was a stunningly beautiful face flushed red, radiating embarrassment, shame, and a sense of utter helplessness—it was Hu Liena!

She had clearly been curled up in the cramped closet for too long, and her legs were so numb that they wouldn't obey her commands.

In addition, having just witnessed the passionate kiss outside through the crack, she was so excited that she lost her balance and made a noise.

At that moment, she stumbled and scrambled out of the wardrobe in a flustered manner, standing in the center of the room. Her legs were still a little weak, and she had to lean slightly against the wardrobe door to keep her balance.

As soon as she stood still, she met Zhu Zhuqing's cold, scrutinizing, knowing gaze, which also held an indescribable quality.

At the same time, she also felt the look in Dai Chengfeng's eyes, a mixture of helplessness that said, "I knew it would happen," and despair that said, "This is it, it's all over now."

At that moment, Hu Liena felt a rush of heat to her head, her cheeks burning so hot they could almost be used to bake pancakes. She wished the ground would immediately crack open so she could crawl into it.

If time could be reversed, she swore she would never have impulsively chosen to hide in that damned closet when Zhu Zhuqing knocked on the door!
She opened her mouth, her lips moved a few times, as if trying to explain.

For example, you could say, "I just came to discuss something with him," or "It's a misunderstanding," but no amount of words can hide the undeniable truth...

She crawled out of Dai Chengfeng's wardrobe.

In the end, she could only stand there stiffly, enduring this suffocating embarrassment, feeling like a clumsy thief caught red-handed.

"I said... I came to ask if Dai Chengfeng is alright... Do you... believe me?"

"Heh, what do you say, you big fox!"

Zhu Zhuqing sneered, her gaze quickly sweeping over Hu Liena as she spoke.

Her hair at her temples was somewhat disheveled from her hasty attempt to hide, and her fair cheeks were covered with an unnatural blush that spread all the way to her neck.

Even the hem of his clothes was slightly disheveled from the earlier commotion.

Looking at Dai Chengfeng's helpless yet unsurprised expression, Zhu Zhuqing quickly understood most of it.

When I knocked on the door just now, Dai Chengfeng wasn't the only one in the room.

Hu Liena is here, and judging from her act of hiding in the closet and her current disheveled state, there's something between them...

Perhaps they are having some kind of conversation or interaction that they don't want or that they don't want outsiders to know about.
