I Hate You, Devil!-Chapter 26 For what?

Chapter 26 For what?

Luo Xiaolei froze in place. One hand was hanging above her head holding a magazine while her other hand was holding a book. She finally realized that she was actually just wearing a towel when she felt it fall from her body.

Oh my god!!!

Luo Xiaolei was so shocked. She wanted to immediately crouch down and pick the towel up but her body refused to move for a moment.

Her eyes widened into big circles as her grip on the book and magazine in her hands trembled a bit.

The next moment, the things in her hands fell as she finally recovered from the shock. She was about to quickly bend down and pick her towel up when to her surprise, she saw Yu Chen already holding the towel wide, as if he was a nanny ready to wrap his madam right after getting off the pool.

What he did made the panicking Luo Xiaolei freeze again. She blinked in silence as she stared at him while Yu Chen quickly stretched out his hands to cover her body with the towel.

The room fell into a deep silence as the two stared at each other. Luo Xiaolei didn't even know what to say or how to react. Her already shocked self was again stunned because of Yu Chen's action.

The surprise actually didn't end there. All of a sudden, Yu Chen averted his gaze away from her as he moved the towel closer to her as if asking her to accept it. The most surprising thing was that, it almost looked like Yu Chen was the one being shamed among the two of them. He didn't say a word and he didn't show any change in expression but for some reason, his actions that moment felt like he was the one who had just suffered the greatest embarrassment between them.

Luo Xiaolei even began imagining Yu Chen in his chibi self with big pink oblongs on both of his cheeks while looking away with his hands still stretched out, holding a sky blue towel.

Oh god, Luo Xiaolei, stop daydreaming!!! Your imagination is too much! There's no way this Yu Chen would be affected that much!!

Trying to get rid of the thoughts in her head, Luo Xiaolei finally moved and accepted the towel. She quickly wrapped herself with it as she pressed her lips tight. Her face was flushed red and this awkward situation made her wish that she could disappear right now and teleport back into her room.

She didn't even know what to say. She wanted to just slip away but Yu Chen happened to be blocking her way towards her room.

Unable to stand the awkwardness anymore, Luo Xiaolei cleared her throat before she reached out her hand to give him the magazine. She was planning to immediately go back to her room the moment he took it.

"Uhm… H-here's the magazine." Her voice finally came out, causing Yu Chen to look at her again. Their eyes met but this time, it was Luo Xiaolei who averted her gaze away. Her eyes wandered around as she prayed that the man would quickly take the magazine she was giving him so she could finally leave.

However, time passed but there was no response from Yu Chen. Luo Xiaolei could only force herself to look into his eyes again; curious on why was the man not accepting it.

By the time their eyes met, Luo Xiaolei bit her lip. It looked like her brain slowed down and she couldn't think about a better idea on how to change or get away from this awkward situation.

"Uhm… I-I'll go back and get ready." she could only utter as she moved to put the magazine back on the shelf. But before she could let go of the book, Yu Chen suddenly took it.

"Don't be bothered by what happened. Don't worry, I'll take responsibility." He said and an invisible big question mark fell from the sky, hitting Luo Xiaolei's head as she looked at him with questioning eyes.

H-huh? What is he saying? He'll take responsibility for what? For seeing my body? W-what do you even mean by that?! Did I even hear him right?!

"Uhm… pa-pardon?"

"I said, I'll take responsibility."

"…?"
