She shook her head, trying her best to overcome the confusion in her heart. She tried to forget the moment Mark hurt her and the impact brought by Xiong Jie’s sudden appearance.
Only by completely calming down and clearing away distracting thoughts can she break through the fog and choose the right direction.
Cold water and determination finally calmed her down considerably. She carefully recalled the previous conversation between Zhong Kui and Spicy Girl... that sentence from Spicy Girl was still like a thorn in her heart.
However, in the current situation in the room, apart from her and Tang Yanqing, the other three: Marina and Zhong Kui were naturally on the same side, and Spicy Girl was outnumbered with one against two. If anything were to happen in the room, obviously, the highest possibility would be Spicy Girl.
Her heart couldn’t help but tense up, and she hurriedly turned back, wanting to return to the room.
Just as she was about to open the door, the bathroom door opened by itself. Shi Nian jumped in fright, about to speak, but was immediately silenced by someone who slipped inside like a ghost and covered her mouth.
Fortunately, her eyes quickly adjusted, and she saw clearly that it was Tang Yanqing.
She pointed in shock at the floor—this was the women’s bathroom, what was he doing in here?
Tang Yanqing placed a finger to his lips, gesturing for silence, then let go of her mouth.
He gave her a deep look, then started removing his own pajamas.
His pajamas were simple and comfortable—a loose gray-blue V-neck T-shirt, and indigo plaid loose pants. He raised his arms and lifted his head, and the T-shirt came off easily.
The light seemed to flash alongside, the glow coming from his skin that suddenly appeared before her. The physique of an Eastern man was not as exaggeratedly muscular as a Westerner’s, but his muscles were well-defined. Especially the sheen on his smooth skin, like exquisite silk.
Shi Nian was stunned, her mind completely stalled.
She felt as though all the blood in her body rushed to her head, feeling dizzy and unsteady.
She wasn’t ready for this, at least not under these circumstances.
She instinctively grabbed his waistband. Naturally, the force she applied was in opposition to his: he pulled down, and she pulled up strongly.
Tang Yanqing raised an eyebrow at her, then laughed, lifting her chin with his hand, pressing her against the wall. His hand supported the wall beside her ear, "What are you worried about, hmm? Do you think I came in here... to claim you just ?"
She couldn’t resist, so she gently closed her eyes.
A silent drop of sweat fell from his temple, quickly sliding down along his long sideburns and across his cheek.
He took a deep breath, indulging himself in nestling against her neck for a moment before looking up, his eyes fixing deeply on her.
"I do want you... but how could it be at such a time, or in such a hasty place, hmm?"
Shi Nian was so nervous that she closed her eyes: "Then, why do you have to take off your clothes?"
He shushed her again, quietly opening the bathroom door just a crack to glance outside, ensuring no one was there, then whispered, "Tonight, I’ll wear your clothes and go to your room. You, go sleep in my room."
Shi Nian was startled and whispered, "Why?"
Soon her heart swelled with a thought: "Could it be... you suspect Spicy Girl?"
Tang Yanqing quickly nodded, urging her in a low voice, "You’ve been out for quite a while. Hurry, change your clothes."
Shi Nian could only blush as she removed her outer robe.
Luckily, they were staying in such a large suite, with a communal girls’ bathroom, so even if she was ready for bed, she had to wear a robe over her pajamas to go out. The robe was a thin, zippered bathrobe with a hood, slightly oversized, so he could barely wear it.
And underneath the robe... was the nightdress. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn noveⅼfire.net
It was the very same nightdress he had teased her about.
Her heartbeat became irregular, and she couldn’t muster a smile.
His eyes, clear as a spring, observed her reaction intently, his smile gradually faded, replaced by a long sigh.
His gaze fell down darkly, leaving her nowhere to hide: "Tonight, wear my clothes to sleep, be good."
Shi Nian took a deep breath and nodded briefly: "Okay.
With that, she quickly stepped back, went to the mirror, and used clips to pin her hair into a semblance of short hair as a disguise, then quickly escaped from the bathroom. After carefully observing her surroundings, she slipped into Tang Yanqing’s room, closed the door, and pressed a hand to her restless heart.
About ten minutes later, she heard the bathroom door quietly click open, followed by a soft noise at her room door. Other than that, there was no other sound, and she finally let out a quiet sigh of relief, quickly locked the door, and slipped into his bed.
