Chapter 114 Sharing a Room



Chapter 114 Sharing a Room

The two hugged each other for a while, and finally, at Lu Zhaoye's insistence, they changed their position.

Lu Zhaoye's eyes were lifeless as he turned his head to look at him.

Xu Ziqing lay on her side on the bed, resting her head on her arm, her long hair covering her face, adding a touch of mystery to her delicate oval face.

"Xu Ziqing, we both smell terrible, let's take a shower and go to bed."

When Xu Ziqing saw that Lu Zhaoye had agreed to stay, she was secretly delighted and grabbed Lu Zhaoye's clothes, feeling a strong sense of security.

"But I don't have any clean clothes to change into," Xu Ziqing murmured.

Both of them thought they would be home by evening, so they didn't bring anything with them.

Fortunately, Lu Zhaoye was worried about being hot before he set off, so he brought a... his pajamas, which was an old man's shirt.

Lu Zhaoye thought for a moment, but decided not to say it, because he had worn the old man's shirt all day and hadn't washed it.

"Xu Ziqing, I'll order two toiletries towels and a short-sleeved pajama top for you," Lu Zhaoye suggested, coming up with a solution.

It's not even 10:30 yet, there's still time.

"I don't want clothes."

Why?

"It hasn't been washed, it's dirty."

Lu Zhaoye chuckled in exasperation, turned to the side, and flicked Xu Ziqing's nose with his right hand, saying helplessly,

"Okay, then I'll just buy two towels. The hotel towels are too dirty."

Xu Ziqing nodded, but actually she didn't want her older brother to spend money, so that's what she said.

But the next second, Lu Zhaoye said,

"Um, I actually have another old-fashioned shirt in my backpack, but it's not clean yet, so I'm wearing it myself."

"I want to wear it."

"..."

Lu Zhaoye was speechless. Sometimes he really wanted to call the police. Didn't you keep saying you found it dirty?

Finally, worried that Xu Ziqing hadn't heard him clearly, Lu Zhaoye patiently explained it again.

It's a bit dirty, and it's a little tank top that looks like it's been exposed, so don't blame me.

Xu Ziqing nodded and accepted it with a smile.

After the deliveryman brought the towel, Lu Zhaoye urged Xu Ziqing to hurry up.

"Go, go, go take a shower first."

Xu Ziqing nodded obediently, sat up straight in bed, and then, under Lu Zhaoye's dazed gaze...

She took off her slightly yellowed white shoes, then her white socks, revealing a pair of delicate little feet.

Lu Zhaoye was stunned, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets, until Xu Ziqing was about to take off her pants.

Lu Zhaoye caught a glimpse of a pink bear-shaped object flash by, and he quickly rushed over, grabbed Xu Ziqing's hand, and said through gritted teeth,

"Take it off after you get into the bathroom."

Xu Ziqing realized what was happening, her face instantly turning flushed. She nodded.

"Oh~"

Lu Zhaoye suppressed his urge to curse. How could Xu Ziqing have no sense of boundaries between men and women? Was she really not afraid of me?

He suddenly felt a little frustrated.

These people are all incapable of handling pressure. Are they even human anymore?

Xu Ziqing blankly stretched out her hand, and Lu Zhaoye rolled his eyes and placed his hand on hers, but Xu Ziqing remained motionless, still sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Shall we go?"

"I took off my shoes," Xu Ziqing said innocently, then said matter-of-factly, "Big brother, hug me."

"......"

Lu Zhaoye didn't say anything, but laughed in anger. He exhaled, put one arm around Xu Ziqing's waist, and hugged her legs with the other, and walked towards the bathroom.

Just then, Xu Ziqing, with her arms around Lu Zhaoye's neck, spoke again in a daze.

"Big brother, you suddenly stopped talking several times today. Are you a little coward?"

"No," Lu Zhaoye broke down, looking down at Xu Ziqing and asking.

"Who did you learn all this from?!"

"you."

"You just called me a crybaby," Xu Ziqing said innocently.

Lu Zhaoye's vision went black; he couldn't even empathize with himself from just a few minutes ago.

"Look, he's not talking again, and he's acting all cowardly," Xu Ziqing muttered under her breath, "He's such a coward."

Lu Zhaoye gently placed Xu Ziqing in the bathroom, adjusted the water temperature, put a towel in it, and then left.

Hearing the sound of someone scrolling through their phone outside, Xu Ziqing smiled genuinely, her dimples spreading across the bathroom floor, creating ripples.

"......"

Hearing the sound of water coming from the bathroom, Lu Zhaoye quietly looked up.

Because we booked a double room, the bathroom in the room wasn't actually one of those walls where you couldn't see anything at all, but rather one of those glass windows where you could vaguely see a little bit.

With just one glance, Lu Zhaoye caught a glimpse of that graceful figure, and he immediately reacted, his heart skipping a beat. He quickly turned around and turned on his phone.

My phone is full of messages—from Luo Xiao, Xu Qingwan, and Zhang Xinhan…

Aunt Xu had already explained the situation to Xu Feng over the phone, so Lu Zhaoye ignored her and opened his chat with Luo Xiao.

13:20

[Falling in the fields]: That brat is playing games again.

16:32

[Falling in the fields]: Oh my gosh, it seems like someone has moved into my house.

20:52

[Landed in the field]: You brat, get back here right now! (angry)

Lu Zhaoye glanced at the message Luo Xiao had sent; that was all the useful information. He quickly replied with a message.

[Rizhao]: I'm not going home tonight. I'm staying up all night with Niu Zi and the others.

Luo Xiao didn't reply to the message immediately, and Lu Zhaoye didn't mind, switching the screen away.

He opened his chat window with Zhang Xinhan again.

8:20

[Hanhan]: Have you set off yet? Be careful.

12:50

[Hanhan]: Have you arrived yet? How is the situation?

16:50

[Hanhan]: I think I've discovered another little secret (smug).

This was the last message Zhang Xinhan sent. Lu Zhaoye didn't understand it, but he was too lazy to delve into it. After thinking for a moment, he politely replied.

[Rizhao]: Everything is fine.

Then, Lu Zhaoye opened his chat with his silly deskmate, only to find a single, lonely message.

[I'm so sleepy]: Do you like to eat rice cakes?

Lu Zhaoye didn't know what this meant. He scratched his head and was about to reply when the bathroom door suddenly opened and a head popped out.

"Big brother, I'm all better now."

Lu Zhaoye then realized that half an hour had passed. He quickly got up, put down his phone, walked over, gently patted Xu Ziqing's head, and said softly...

"Okay, come out now, give me your hand."

The bathroom door slowly opened, and a yellow towel hung around Xu Ziqing's neck, covering her fair skin. Her long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and her already fair oval face now had an added touch of innocence.

Lu Zhaoye slowly looked down, and a pair of dazzlingly white, slender legs caught his eye, making it hard for him to look away. He murmured in a daze,

"Xu Ziqing, why aren't you wearing pants?"

Xu Ziqing pouted, looking aggrieved, and said in a coquettish tone,

My pants fell on the floor and got wet.

"But my brother's pajamas are so long they can cover my butt."

Lu Zhaoye nodded blankly. The old man's shirt that fit him perfectly turned into a long skirt on Xu Ziqing.

But you can't hide those chopsticks-thin legs.
