In the room, Long Fei entered and turned on the light.
Wang Xiaoya followed shyly, her mind filled with wild thoughts.
The room was dimly lit, presenting an ambiguous atmosphere.
A big bed, a television, a sofa, the furnishings were quite simple.
There was also a bathroom with frosted glass, much fancier than the one Long Fei and Lin Yingying had rented last time.
He opened the bathroom door and said to Wang Xiaoya, "You go take a shower first, don’t catch a cold."
Wang Xiaoya nodded her head and slipped into her slippers before scurrying inside.
Long Fei glanced out the window.
The rain was pouring down fiercely, showing no sign of stopping even after an hour.
He sat down on the sofa, felt his pockets, and realized he had given all his cigarettes to his buddies and didn’t have one left to smoke.
In the bathroom, the sound of the shower was heard loud and clear.
Long Fei averted his gaze, silently gathering his composure.
He repeatedly warned himself inwardly that Little Ya was a good girl, and he mustn’t harm her before anything was settled.
After a while, the sound of water stopped.
Wang Xiaoya emerged wrapped in a bath towel, her face flushed as she sat down on the bed.
She stammered to Long Fei, "I’m done showering, it’s your turn now!"
Long Fei got up, not daring to look at her, and hurriedly slipped into the bathroom.
Seeing him enter, Wang Xiaoya quickly pulled the blanket over herself.
The bathroom was steaming, and a lingering fragrance remained.
As soon as Long Fei got in, he sighed with relief, closed the door, and without taking off his clothes, stood under the shower.
Hanging on the hooks were Wang Xiaoya’s washed clothes.
A white blouse and a black knee-length skirt.
Feeling a warmth in his nose, Long Fei’s mind began to wander.
No wonder Wang Xiaoya was clinging to the bath towel, the girl had nothing on underneath.
Long Fei crouched miserably on the floor, tempted to flee the scene.
Wang Xiaoya had already watched a whole TV episode before he finally came out, awkwardly draped in a bath towel.
His wet clothes were left hanging in the bathroom.
The air conditioning outside was whooshing, but the sight of Wang Xiaoya still made him feel unbearably hot.
Long Fei asked, trying to ease the awkwardness.
Wang Xiaoya shook her head, "I don’t feel like sleeping yet. Let’s chat for a bit!"
Long Fei nodded and took a blanket to sit on the sofa.
Wang Xiaoya frowned, biting her lip, "Why sit on the sofa when the bed is so big?"
Long Fei stuttered, "It’s cooler here, I want to enjoy the air conditioning for a bit."
Wang Xiaoya muttered under her breath, then softly asked Long Fei, "Have you ever been to a hotel with a girl before?"
Not only had he been in a hotel room, but he had also been intimate.
It was accidental, but it was still a fact.
Wang Xiaoya said with a smile, "Then you’re at a loss. I’ve been to a hotel with a boy before!"
Long Fei exclaimed, staring at her, "When was that?"
Wang Xiaoya pursed her lips, "During college!"
Long Fei stared at her for a moment, disappointment flashing across his face.
Seeing his dumbfounded expression, Wang Xiaoya giggled, "What’s the matter, are you jealous?"
Long Fei said sullenly, "A little."
Wang Xiaoya squinted with a mischievous smile, "You’re jealous of your cousin-in-law?"
Long Fei raised his eyebrows.
"Big dummy, so slow to catch on."
Wang Xiaoya laughed as she explained, "When I was in college, my younger brother came to visit me, so I just booked a room for him!"
Long Fei chuckled, "Are you kidding me?"
Wang Xiaoya teased playfully, "Just lightening the mood. You with your head hanging down; it’s painful for me even to look at you."
Long Fei laughed softly as he rubbed his head, chatting with her for a while, and indeed felt much more relaxed.
He asked Wang Xiaoya, "So you have a younger brother at home?"
Wang Xiaoya nodded, "Yeah, he’s only two years younger than me. He dropped out in his senior year of high school and started messing around. My parents are so worried about him. I send a thousand yuan home every month; it’s for his future betrothal gift."
"Got it, others dig holes for their parents, but you’ve been dug into by your brother!"
Wang Xiaoya sighed, "What can I do? He’s my only brother; I can’t just ignore him." Latest content publıshed on 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍
Long Fei looked at this kind girl and truly felt sorry for her.
He had no siblings and didn’t know this feeling.
It was originally the parents’ responsibility, yet now it had shifted onto her shoulders.
A girl already has her expenses each month, now she had to financially aid her family as well.
Preference for boys over girls, probably a societal norm in Huaxia!
Right then, the TV suddenly emitted a strange scream. Long Fei glanced over, not knowing what drama it was, but the male and female leads were going at it in a forest.
Wang Xiaoya also felt awkward, quickly grabbing the remote to change the channel.
Now it switched to a period drama, where a foolish emperor was rolling in the sheets with his favorite concubine.
Wang Xiaoya’s face turned so red it spread to her neck; she hurriedly switched the channel again.
Finally, the scene shifted to the African savannah.
Before the two could even catch their breath, the deep voice of Teacher Zhao announced, "Spring has arrived, and it’s mating season for the animals."
Following that, the screen cut to a male lion mounting a female lion from behind.
Wang Xiaoya and Long Fei laughed together and simply turned off the TV.
The room quieted down suddenly. Wang Xiaoya lay down on the edge of the bed, her big eyes staring intently at Long Fei. She patted the space next to her and said, "You sleep on the bed! The sofa is too close to the air conditioner; you’ll catch a cold by tomorrow."
Long Fei joked, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll do something to you?"
Wang Xiaoya blushed and teased deliberately, "Do something? You’re not going to eat me, are you?"
Long Fei laughed and without any more coyness, frankly lay down beside her.
The two lay on their sides, staring eye to eye, even feeling each other’s breath.
Wang Xiaoya’s eyes twitched slightly as she whispered, "Don’t you want to kiss me?"
Wang Xiaoya bit her lip and stammered, "If you want to kiss, just do it!"
Long Fei coughed dryly and awkwardly moved his face closer.
In such a situation, even the most rational person would break down.
Wang Xiaoya, nervous and trembling all over, was getting ready for her first time.
But at the crucial moment, she suddenly pushed Long Fei away, anxiously wrapping herself in the blanket with the tissue.
Long Fei was stunned, thinking he had scared Wang Xiaoya and kept apologizing, "Sorry, sorry, I couldn’t help it just now. Are you okay?"
Wang Xiaoya, face flushed, called out shyly, "It’s not your fault; I got my period!"
Long Fei was a little confused.
Wang Xiaoya, with eyes closed, explained, "My aunt’s here!"
Long Fei gaped with his mouth open and couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
