Hai Xiaotang turned her head and met his deep gaze, âWhat is it?â
Dongfang Yu stared at her intently, his chuckle low, âThereâs no class this afternoon, right?â
âIt seems there isâ¦â
âIâve looked at your schedule, you have no classes this afternoon.â
Hai Xiaotang had to admit, âNo classes, why?â
Dongfang Yu curved his lips into a smile, âIâve noticed that youâve been quite distracted recently. You must be stressed out from studying. Since tomorrow is the weekend, Iâd like to take you out to relax a bit.â
Hai Xiaotang immediately refused, âNo need, I have to studyâ¦â
âThe whole point is to get you away from your studies. Yuquan Villa, I already booked a room, weâll go there tonight.â Dongfang Yu declared firmly.
Hai Xiaotang hesitated slightly.
The promotional images of Yuquan Villa suddenly flashed through her mind. Under the plum blossom trees, a man and a woman comfortably soaking in a hot spring, the man happily hugging the woman, the woman blissfully leaning on him.
The slogan is: Yuquan Mountain hot springs, good for him, good for meâ¦
Most men and women who go there for hot springs have impure intentions!
Hai Xiaotang dared not go, âNo need, I still have a lot of homework unfinished, and I plan to study in the library todayâ¦â
âIâll pick you up for lunch at noon, Iâll call you by then.â Dongfang Yu said, completely ignoring her protest.
âBut I said Iâ¦â
Just as Hai Xiaotang was about to argue, the manâs kiss suddenly landed on her lips, it was a quick kiss!
Hai Xiaotang was momentarily stunned.
He had been stealing kisses from her every now and then lately. At first, she would freak out and get angry. But lately, she seemed to have gradually given her silent consentâ¦
Dongfang Yuâs gaze was fiery, âGo to class, Iâll pick you up later.â
âButâ¦â Hai Xiaotang still wanted to say she didnât want to go to Yuquan Villa, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Dongfang Yu looked like he was about to kiss her again. She got scared and chose not to speak anymore. She hurriedly opened the door and got out of the car, and ran away in a flurry.
Watching her rush off like a startled rabbit, Dongfang Yu couldnât help but let out a low chuckle.
Hai Xiaotang walked at a brisk pace for a long time, not slowing down until she was far, far away.
It frustrated her, why was she increasingly scared of Dongfang Yu recently? âXiaotang!â Qiao Ning suddenly caught up with her, panting heavily. Baffled, he asked, âWhatâs the matter? Iâve been calling you from behind, you didnât respond.â
Hai Xiaotang put on a quick smile, âI didnât hear you, sorry.â
âItâs okay. Xiaotang, are you also taking classes in the second building today?â
Qiao Ning chatted as they walked side by side.
Hai Xiaotang nodded, âYeah, are you?â
âYes. I have no classes in the afternoon and it seems like you donât either, want to hang out together?â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Hai Xiaotangâs eyes glinted, she agreed immediately, âSure, where do you want to go?â
Qiao Ning happily suggested, âLetâs go shopping, itâs been a while since I last went.â
âSureâ¦â
Hai Xiaotang thought that as long as she didnât have to be with Dongfang Yu, she would be happy to accompany Qiao Ning anywhere.
She didnât want to go to Yuquan Villa.
Her intuition told her that if Dongfang Yu was taking her there, he most definitely had some immodest plans.
She also knew that he was going to make a move on her very soon!
And there was no escaping it. But her heart was wobbling, she didnât want to make a hasty decision.
Because she was no longer the daring and decisive Hai Xiaotang of the past, but a now love-shy Hai Xiaotang.
Also, she didnât quite understand why, but she felt unrest at the bottom of her heart, the uneasy feeling that she couldnât ignore no matter how she tried.
