Chapter 1079: Chapter 1079: Putting Out the Fire

When Mei Ruyan woke up, she stretched lazily, feeling an unprecedented comfort, as if she hadn’t slept so sweetly in a long time.

She curled up, blinking her eyes as she looked around. The room was lit with a night lamp, and outside the window was the night scene, with the sound of insects faintly audible.

"Awake?" Lin Tian put down the medical book in his hand with a smile and said, "Go take a shower first, I’ll get you something to eat."

Mei Ruyan leaned on the pillow, tilting her head as she looked at Lin Tian. She didn’t know what she was thinking, but a sweet curve rose at the corner of her mouth, and she smiled like a little girl.

With her temperament, upon waking and seeing a man, she would inexplicably feel irritated, akin to a grumpy wake-up mood. She didn’t know why, perhaps a morbid mindset, but she just wanted to vent with a fist or a Yin Leg.

But now? Seeing Lin Tian, instead of waking up, she felt a sense of comfort, as if lying here staring at his face would never become tiresome.

She admitted that this man was growing in importance in her heart, even filling it up. He always seemed to appear like a superhero in underwear on the outside, wielding a metaphorical sword, attracting all eyes in moments of crisis.

If one day someone told her that Lin Tian had saved the world, Mei Ruyan would believe it without hesitation.

You could call it seeing your lover as a beauty, but in whose eyes isn’t Lin Tian the one who stands out?

Handsome features, deep eyes, appropriate attire, and that long, soothing breath.

Mei Ruyan suddenly realized that this guy actually had such a charming side.

"Lin Tian." Mei Ruyan called lazily.

"What is it?"

"Are you tired?"

Lin Tian was slightly taken aback, then smiled wryly.

Yes, he was indeed quite tired. Too much Spiritual Qi was consumed today; although it didn’t harm the essence, without proper rest, it always left him feeling exhausted.

In Lin Tian’s memory, hardly anyone had ever thoughtfully asked if he was tired, let alone Mei Ruyan, as it didn’t fit her character.

"A bit," Lin Tian nodded and said. He thought that no matter how strong a person is, they need care, right? There’s no need to pretend at such a time.

"Then... why don’t you rest for a while?" Saying this, Mei Ruyan suddenly moved inward, leaving half the bed empty.

Lin Tian blinked, uncertain as he looked at her, "You... want me to lie down?"

"Just lie on the bed for a while, get some sleep, and we’ll talk tomorrow."

A smirk resembling a character from a comedy appeared on Lin Tian’s face, but as he stood up from the chair, he hesitated and finally sat back down.

"What’s up?" Mei Ruyan asked puzzledly.

"Nothing," Lin Tian laughed nervously and shook his head.

Under normal circumstances, Lin Tian would never pass up such a good opportunity. But now Mei Ruyan wasn’t wearing anything... Lying down now would be asking for trouble.

Imagining the consequences vividly crossed Lin Tian’s mind; life was precious.

"Is it because I’m not wearing clothes?" Mei Ruyan asked.

"Uh..." Lin Tian’s heart skipped a beat, and he smiled wryly, "You found out, huh."

"Nonsense!" Mei Ruyan widened her eyes, "How could I not know if I’m wearing clothes? I’m just letting you rest because I can see you’re too tired. I’m not afraid, so what are you worried about? Also, you were the one who took off my clothes, right? You’ve already seen everything, why be so concerned now? Hypocrite!"

Mei Ruyan turned inward, turning her back to Lin Tian, apparently in a bit of a mood.

Lin Tian scratched his head, thinking she made a good point. Fine, could she eat me up or what?

With this thought, Lin Tian placed the medical book aside and slowly approached the bed to lie down.

Initially, Lin Tian just wanted to lie next to Ruyan for a while. But lying down, breathing in the fragrance of the one beside him, he couldn’t help but swallow twice and moved in closer, smiling, "Don’t be mad, okay? I only undressed you so you’d recover faster, I had no other intention."

"No other intention? Are you sure you didn’t sneak a look? If you say no, I’ll kick you down now."

"Uh..." Lin Tian hesitated for a second but still said, "Men’s nature... But I promise, I didn’t do anything else!"

Mei Ruyan, still with her back to Lin Tian, asked, "You didn’t touch me?"

"Just touched..."

"I..." Lin Tian stuttered, realizing one can never communicate normally with a girl.

"Touched is touched, nothing ’just’ about it." Suddenly, Mei Ruyan turned her head, looked into Lin Tian’s deep eyes, and giggled, "You’re still the same as before, huh? Bold in thought but timid in action."

"Uh?" Lin Tian was momentarily stunned, why do women change moods faster than the weather?

Suddenly, Mei Ruyan wrapped her arms around Lin Tian’s neck and, like before, draped her leg over him, pinning him down.

Before Lin Tian could resist, her crimson lips approached, clumsily yet assertively pressing against his lips...

The unexpected kiss awakened more than just a man’s instincts. Using the strength of his waist, he rolled over, and the two switched positions.

As Lin Tian’s hands began to explore up and down, Mei Ruyan suddenly turned her head away and asked, "Do you... have any reaction?"

"What do you think..." Lin Tian smiled wryly. If there were no reaction, then there would be something wrong, wouldn’t there? Not only did he have a reaction, it was quite intense.

Mei Ruyan leaned close to Lin Tian’s ear, breathing warmly, "Do you want... me to help you?"

"H-How?"

Mei Ruyan didn’t answer; she just pulled the blanket over them...

Under the covers, a rustling sound ensued. Lin Tian’s expression turned extraordinarily peculiar, sometimes sighing, sometimes gasping, a sight to behold.

Suddenly, Mei Ruyan raised her head, her face flushed as she asked, "Did Liou Qingcheng ever do this with you?"

Lin Tian’s face turned red with embarrassment, why ask this now? But he still answered honestly, "Uh... no..."

"What about Xu Miaoxiu?"

"No either."

"Any other women?"

"There are no other women..."

Suddenly, a cold sweat broke out on Lin Tian’s forehead, Mei Ruyan’s train of thought was truly baffling. Asking such a jealous question at a time like this — what if she got upset and decided to ruin his life? Even if there was no real danger, it was enough to scare him sick.
