I Become a Big Shot in Showbiz

Chapter 169: Chapter 169 I’m So Scared

“Is something the matter?” His Adam’s apple bobbed, his voice hoarse.

Mu Lingyun didn’t respond but threw herself into his arms and said with a crying voice, “I’m so scared! I’m afraid!”

As she spoke, she rubbed her head against his chest.

She had wanted to hug him tightly like this for a long time, ever since they called to tell her that he had woken up; she had wanted to hold him just like this.

The thought made her heart ache.

Yet, he had lost many of his memories, making it so that she couldn’t throw herself into his arms even when she saw him.

...

It was agonizing for her.

Now, finally, she was in his arms.

She was somewhat reluctant to let go.

Feeling the soft warmth in his embrace, Ji Luochen was taken aback.

He instinctively wanted to push her away, but the moment his hand grasped the girl’s arm, he suddenly felt reluctant.

The sensation of the girl rubbing slightly against him in his embrace was so familiar.

So familiar that he felt that it should have been this way all along.

Therefore, Ji Luochen loosened his grip on the girl’s arm and asked gently, “Did you have a nightmare?”

“Yeah,” Mu Lingyun nodded, “The world in my dream was so frightening.”

Because it didn’t have you.

“It’s okay, it was just a dream, don’t be afraid,” he continued, his voice tender to the point of being unusual.

“Yeah, I’m not scared with you here,” Mu Lingyun smiled silently, hugging him tighter, “Can I sleep at your place?”

Ji Luochen hadn’t expected the girl in his arms to say this, and he was stunned for a moment before responding in a raspy voice, “If you don’t mind, you can sleep in my bed.”

“Then where will you sleep?”

“On the sofa.”

Mu Lingyun curled the corner of her lips, let go of him, and said, “I should go back to sleep, then. If I get scared, can I video call you?”

Her Crown Prince had just recovered from a serious illness and still needed to take medicine.

She couldn’t bear to let him sleep on the sofa.

Ji Luochen hesitated for a moment.

He felt this might not be a good idea.

But, meeting her begging eyes, he couldn’t bring himself to say no and nodded in agreement.

Getting the answer she desired, Mu Lingyun bid Ji Luochen farewell and left his place.

Back in bed, she couldn’t wait to make a video call to Ji Luochen.

Once connected, she immediately said, “I’m still a bit scared living alone.”

Ji Luochen saw the girl lying on the bed, apparently having placed the phone on a stand, with the camera pointing at her face.

She wrapped herself tight in the cotton blanket, revealing only a petite and delicate face, her eyes watering as she looked at him, the gentle bedside lamp casting a soft layer over her, making her look utterly adorable.

“It’s okay, I’m next door, and if anything happens, you just call and I’ll be right there,” he reassured her instinctively.

“Then don’t hang up the video, wait until I fall asleep to hang up, okay?” she asked.

“Okay,” Ji Luochen replied.

With that assurance, Mu Lingyun closed her eyes contentedly.

Once the girl closed her eyes, her eyelashes, long and curled, appeared particularly beautiful.

Her skin, white and delicate, showed signs of blush, seemingly more tender than a baby’s.

Her full, moist lips resembled delicate cherries.

Her sleeping face was so well-behaved, it inspired an urge in others to tease.

Ji Luochen felt his throat dry and realized he was somewhat thirsty.

He looked away, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and gradually subdued the inexplicable restlessness.

–

Mu Lingyun didn’t know when the video call ended.

But she did know that when she woke up the next day, her phone had run out of battery and shut down automatically.

She rushed to charge and turn on her phone and, sure enough, saw a message from Director Feng.
