Chapter 481: Chapter 480 I Like You (4)
Afterward, a slightly doting but with a touch of annoyance and a hint of haughty voice rang in her ears.
Bo Yan’s fingers were slender and fair, with distinct joints. If a piano teacher saw them, their first thought would be that these hands were perfectly suited for playing the piano.
Although Xia Siyu and Bo Yan had engaged in more intimate actions in private, in front of so many people, especially in front of Qin Baizhou, his hand lightly grazing her cheek brought a subtle sense of oppression, like a bird skimming over the calm surface of a lake, stirring up ripples.
Even though Xia Siyu had just pulled away his hand, at that moment, his proximity effectively confirmed their relationship, even though she hadn’t admitted it.
Not only that, after Bo Yan deftly retracted his hand, he also brought the fingers that had just caressed her cheek to his lips. His tongue curled around them as if savoring the taste on the fingertips.
Afterward, he lifted his eyelids, and those peach-blossom eyes were looking at her, and then he slightly hooked his lips. The fleeting expression in his brows and eyes clearly showed that he was pleased.
Fuck, this guy is flirting again.
After Bo Yan finished all this, everyone in the room was looking at him. Their gazes were a mix of surprise, inquiry, and curiosity. Bo Yan, however, remained composed and gestured, “Eat, why aren’t you eating? Wasting food is not good.”
Xia Siyu was the one who responded to his words. Since everyone in the room probably knew about her relationship with Bo Yan by now, she couldn’t be bothered to explain anymore. Besides, she was hungry, and the cumin lamb needed to be eaten quickly before it cooled down and lost its taste.
With her picking up her chopsticks, everyone else also resumed their meal. Wei Jingjing wished she could bury her face in her bowl, even shrink herself down until Qin Baizhou could no longer see her.
Only Qin Baizhou kept his smile for a very long time, but it was so prolonged it seemed waxen and stiff.
The dinner was quickly over, and Qin Baizhou paid the bill, and the group then walked back.
Upon reaching the hotel, Qin Baizhou hadn’t booked a room yet. He went to the front desk, intending to book a room close to Xia Siyu’s, but unfortunately, Bo Yan had booked the entire floor’s rooms, so he had to settle for one on the floor below.
Knowing he was booking a room, Bo Yan felt relieved: that was close, it was fortunate he had booked all the rooms on this floor. Not only did it ensure that his comings and goings with Xia Siyu weren’t noticed by others, but he had managed to sneak into Wei Jingjing’s room the night before, and today successfully avoided Qin Baizhou. It was indeed killing several birds with one stone!
Once Qin Baizhou finished booking, the group went upstairs, but instead of returning to his own room, Qin Baizhou handed his room card to Wei Jingjing, “Jingjing, help me tidy up and keep my luggage for now. Also, there’s a document in my bag that needs processing. Help me organize it back there. I’ll need to look at it later.”
Wei Jingjing understood this was his way of sending her away. Qin Baizhou must have something he wanted to discuss with Xia Siyu alone. She nodded and went down a floor ahead of the rest.
The rest of the group continued to the same floor. Song Fengzhi and Little Tang opened their room doors one after the other, leaving only Bo Yan, Xia Siyu, and Qin Baizhou at the end.
In the corridor, only the sound of their three sets of footsteps could be heard. Xia Siyu then asked, “Qin, do you have something else?”
Qin Baizhou nodded, glanced at Bo Yan, and added, “Yes, I have something I need to talk to you about alone. It’s very important.”
