So it turned out to be a sultry style nightgown? Oh my God!
Shi Nian hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed back the nightgown, her face flushed with shame, "Well, this is my personal item, even the professor has no right to check it!"
He laughed, his gaze like the serene sea under the moonlight, slowly rising and drowning her.
"Like, my foot!" Shi Nian was both annoyed and embarrassed, pointing at the paper bag, "Let me tell you the truth, this nightgown and towel were not seriously bought, they were just to cover the sheets and duvet! Those were bought for you!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yanqing raised her long eyebrows and looked down seriously.
With just one glance, she smiled with satisfaction.
"How did you know I would , hmm?"
He said—he liked it...
A small joy surged in her heart, yet she carefully hid it, trying hard to act indifferent. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel-fire.ɴet
"You like it? That’s good. Actually, I just saw it was plain and bought it casually. Later, I still felt that what Spicy Girl chose was right, so I took this as an extra."
He laughed, but mercilessly exposed her little lie: "But there’s only one bill in my credit card notification. Did you buy this yourself?"
Shi Nian was mortified, her face flushed as she opened her mouth and hurriedly defended: "No, you’re mistaken. This didn’t cost any money!"
She picked up the nightgown with her left hand and the towel with her right, hesitantly saying: "It was, it was a promotion at the counter. I bought these two items, and they gave away a set of sheets and duvet as a gift!"
"Oh," he actually nodded seriously, but his fingers quickly flipped through the prices of these items and then laughed even more cheerfully: "Hmm, you bought two items whose total price doesn’t even reach half of the gift, yet you got such a heavy gift. Sleeping Beauty, you really know how to shop, you scored."
At this moment, Shi Nian truly wanted to learn from the Taoist priest from Laoshan and disappear through the wall.
But it wasn’t over yet; he walked up to her again with a smile and pressed his hand on her wrist.
"Do you know why you bought these three items? You thought you bought them casually, but actually, they reflect your subconscious. Look, there’s actually a logical relationship between the three."
Shi Nian was stunned, her mind already a bit slow, so she shook her head: "What logical relationship?"
He laughed again, his brows arching: "First, take a bath, wrap your smooth and delicate body with the towel, then lie on the bed made with the sheets and duvet, and finally put on this thoughtful sexy nightgown..."
His breathing also became slightly heavy as he gazed at her, his speech slowing: "...and then, wait for me."
Shi Nian’s breath stopped, and then she yanked her wrist from his fingers as if scalded, dropping her head to avoid his gaze and murmuring: "I don’t know what the professor is talking about. Sorry, I have something to do, I’ll go back to my room now. Good night, professor."
She blurted out all of this and then fled, opening the door as if running for her life.
Fortunately, her roommates had all gone back to their rooms and weren’t in the living room. Only Jack came out of the bathroom and looked surprised when he saw the flushed Shi Nian run out.
Shi Nian dared not say anything and hurried back to her room.
Jack stared at Shi Nian’s door, the previous awkwardness gradually fading, replaced by a cold detachment.
As she was preparing to rest, Shi Nian went to the bathroom to wash up and ran into Marina.
Her eyes were slightly red and swollen, clearly from crying.
Seeing Shi Nian looking at her in the mirror, she snorted: "What are you looking at? You guys, of course, don’t need to care about her unburied body, doing what you have to do. But I can’t. S’s parents came here to take her belongings, and seeing them made them cry so much they fainted in the room. I had to cry with them."
"And all the classmates upstairs and downstairs brought flowers to mourn, and every time one came, I had to thank them on S’s behalf."
Shi Nian felt a slight tremor inside.
Yes, even she forgot to help Marina share these burdens.
Is it because she also suspected Marina, so she subconsciously felt she deserved to be left alone, is that it?
But suspicion is just suspicion, Tang Yanqing was right, without concrete evidence, any reasoning is still just a castle in the air. No matter how real or reasonable that castle looks, it cannot stand for reality.
She nodded: "Why don’t you not sleep in that room tonight? Come over and squeeze in with me and Spicy Girl."
After all, S just died, even if not in that room, it would still be scary, right?
Marina, however, let out a cold laugh: "Why, pity me? No need, I have no ghosts in my heart, I’m not afraid of S coming back to find me."
She looked Shi Nian up and down: "What, are you scared? Is it because you have a guilty conscience?"
The deep night finally lowered its curtain.
Tonight’s sleep, will it bring a sweet dream, or another slaughter?
