Chapter 28 Fencing in a Hotel at Midnight? Exciting! (Part 1) ...

Seeing that Pei Qing didn't seem to react, Ye Ling assumed she hadn't heard her clearly and patiently repeated, "How about we shower together?"

"Of course—"

Pei Qing stood up and walked to Ye Ling's side. The young master's blond hair was a little messy, and his azure eyes were full of expectation, like a dog with messy fur eager to drag its owner out to play.

Ye Ling stared blankly as she walked over. Before she could say anything, she suddenly felt her body lighten, and she was half-suspended in the air, her two toes swinging wildly.

"Of course it's not very good."

"Ugh—!"

Pei Qing's lazy voice and Ye Ling's exclamation rang out at the same time. She didn't stop and carried the young master towards the bathroom.

He was lifted up in mid-air by the waist. Young Master Ye's body stiffened for a moment, and when he came to his senses again, he was already at the bathroom door.

Pei Qian opened the door, and the smart device had already filled the bathtub with water at the right temperature and height. If you threw someone in, they definitely wouldn't die. If you ask what if they did die, firstly, there's no such thing as "what if," and secondly, well, then it's just bad luck.

While her mind wandered freely, her hands moved with surprising speed and precision. With a "splash," the sound of a heavy object falling into the water was heard, and warm water splashed out, with a few drops even getting into Pei Qing's eyes, blurring her vision for a few seconds.

Even after being thrown into the bathtub, the young master Ye was still completely disoriented from the fall, his mind reeling. He couldn't care less about the pain radiating from his buttocks, which felt like they were split in eight pieces. At that moment, only one thought occupied his mind:

Ah, for a beta who looks so gentle and weak, Ah-Qian is surprisingly strong...

Or rather, isn't this a bit too big?

He so easily made himself look 'tall and mighty' at 1.815 meters tall (the decimal part is all his stubbornness) (quotes must be put here).

Okay, cross that out, but anyway, how could a sub-adult male like A lift her up and toss her into the bathtub so easily? Did she really not eat some kind of Popeye's magic spinach?

Ye Ling raised her hand and brushed her wet golden hair behind her head, then slowly lay down in the bathtub, officially falling into a state of existential doubt.

That's right, just as Pei Qing expected, Ye Ling did indeed treat her as a beta.

In a way, she was partly to blame. When she registered for the game, Pei Qing was not yet a full adult, so she used a friend's verification, and that friend was a beta.

After officially logging into the game, you can modify your personal profile, but who exactly is Pei Qing?

Why waste time worrying about that? So, with a completely nonsensical personal profile, I plunged headfirst into the vast ocean of games and became hopelessly addicted.

Ye Ling, on the other hand, has a very stereotypical spoiled brat temperament. For example, he doesn't value money and must get what he wants; he believes that what he thinks is right and there is no room for doubt; and he gets more excited the more people ignore him. In short, he's a bit cheeky.

She was pampered from a young age and was extremely proud of her looks. Her parents were often away from home, and she was praised by a group of servants from childhood to adulthood. She could get whatever she wanted with ease.

Suddenly, a highly skilled, taciturn person appears, who happens to be a 'beta', perfectly fitting his 'heterosexual' views.

That's right. Although same-sex marriage laws were passed decades ago, this person is a very traditional and steadfast A in this regard.

After chasing after Pei Qing relentlessly for several days, even with his childhood friend constantly complaining and suspecting he'd been lured into some new kind of scam—after all, Pei Qing was quite gullible in some ways—Ye Ling grew increasingly excited. This was fun! Something he'd never experienced before!

Young Master Ye somehow fell into this strange cycle. He was still enjoying playing with a 'friend' in the game (in a one-sided way) who was extremely indifferent to him, and even became somewhat addicted to it.

He grew increasingly curious about this person, a curiosity that even surpassed the popularity of those rare, out-of-print games on the capital planet, making him wait day after day for her reply and search for her whereabouts...

Even a simple "hmm" can make him happy all day. Ye Ling racks his brains every day to share his daily life with pictures and text, and even the silly things he posts get replies! (Isn't it possible that they just haven't even seen them...?)

Then, after consulting some unscrupulous online materials, Ye Ling concluded to herself: So this is what it feels like to like someone.

He was so engrossed in this wonderful feeling that he couldn't pull himself out of it. Ignoring his friend's advice, he ran away from home, just to find this person.

That person must like him too, right? Otherwise, why would they so easily give him the address? And, they even brought him to a place like a hotel, so it must be...

Isn't this a bit too fast? But A-Qian didn't say anything. After all, she's an A, and it wouldn't be good to dawdle, would it? She's never done anything like this before. What if, what if, she doesn't do it well?

"Hehe, hehe,"

A jumble of chaotic thoughts raced through his mind, swirling and turning. Ye Ling's face flushed crimson, and a series of silly, barbell-like laughs spilled from the corners of his mouth. "Hehe, hehe..."

A sweet feeling took hold of his mind, like honey syrup that had been repeatedly boiled and melted, bubbling and bubbling, then bursting into sweet honey fireworks.

"Knock knock knock."

"Are you done washing?"

The dull knocking pulled Ye Ling back from her reverie. Was he really that impatient? When the time came, she would definitely be very gentle.

As Young Master Ye was thinking this, just as he stood up in the bathtub and picked up a towel to wrap himself in, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and a terrible idea quietly came to mind.

Ye Ling tossed the bath towel to her feet, watching helplessly as the snow-white towel became soaked and completely unusable before finally walking contentedly to the frosted glass door.

He pressed his face against the door, using the dim light to subtly and ambiguously display his well-built eight-pack abs, honed through countless hours of intense gym sessions, all the while calling out in a pitiful, slurred voice, "A-Qian—"

"What's wrong?" Pei Qing hadn't paid any attention to the reflection in the glass. Hearing his sticky voice, she couldn't help but frown slightly. Had he mutated? What kind of strange sound was that?

"Uh, uh, my bath towel accidentally fell into the water and got wet, and then, and then..." Ye Ling stood barefoot on the ground.

The ground was slippery, and he had to work hard to keep his balance. He was also a little nervous, afraid that the person outside would notice something was wrong.

"The bath towel is wet?" Pei Qing interrupted him as soon as she heard him sounding like he was about to make a big fuss.

"Yes, yes, yes," Ye Ling hurriedly replied, afraid of being a second too late. He secretly clenched his fist in his heart, the plan was working! Wuhu!

Before she could even feel happy for a few seconds, Pei Qing's cold voice came through, "I remember hotels usually keep a few spares in the bathroom cabinet. Open it and see if you can find any."

Ye Ling's breath hitched. There was a backup?!

He quickly opened the cabinet door, and sure enough, there were two bath towels neatly arranged there.

No, no, absolutely not! He threw the two clean bath towels into the bathtub, wet them, then crumpled them up and stuffed them back into the cabinet.

After doing all this, he pretended to have just opened the cabinet and exclaimed in feigned surprise, "Hey? It seems there really is one!"

Then, changing the subject, she said, "Oh dear, it seems like this was put in the cabinet without being cleaned. It's wet too. I guess the staff forgot about it."

Ye Ling slammed the cabinet shut, lowered his eyes, and gave himself a heart-shaped compliment for his flawless acting skills. It was absolutely amazing; he simply couldn't believe there could be anything in the bathroom!

Pei Qian rubbed her temples. "Wait, is the service quality of a star-rated hotel really this bad? Is this the level of service for 6,000 star coins a night?" she thought. "I don't know where all that money went. I have to complain! I'm definitely going to complain! I'll complain fiercely!"

However, the most urgent thing is to ask the hotel staff to bring two clean bath towels.

There was a naked person standing in the bathroom. It was already past 10 p.m. If I didn't hurry up and finish showering, I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

Hello, what do you need?

"Get a few clean bath towels and deliver them to..." Pei Qing glanced at the room number, "...to 0501."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Although the service staff member who answered the call was puzzled, as she remembered that there were usually three spare bath towels in each room, she did not question what the guest said. She simply folded the clean bath towels and placed them in the compartment of the intelligent service robot, and entered the designated room number.

One minute later.

"Ding ding, delivered, please pick up your items."

The items had been delivered to the door. Upon hearing the notification sound, Pei Qing got up, opened the door, entered the password, and retrieved the bath towel in one smooth motion.

She draped the towel over her left arm, raised her right hand, bent her knuckles, and knocked on the bathroom door again. "I asked the hotel staff to bring two more clean towels. Please open the door and take them."

In the bathroom, Ye Ling waited and waited, her once burning heart gradually cooling down, just like the water in the bathtub...

Well, the bathtub has a thermostat, so it's impossible for it to get cold. It's all just his imagination. Ye Ling sat there dejectedly, like a big dog that had been soaked in the rain.

No way? Is A-Qian not going to take care of herself? These online methods are so useless.

Wait, what was the key point again? It was something like, "The moment you open the door, you pretend to casually show off your perfect figure."

Then a series of chemical reactions will occur, such as a faster heartbeat, flushed cheeks, and increased hormones, which will further promote the development of the relationship between the two, right...?

Ye Ling placed a casual bath towel on the smart toilet, propped her elbows on her thighs, and rested her chin on her right hand, deep in thought, striking a pose like a thinker statue. She didn't hear Pei Qing's call at all.

After knocking on the door, Pei Qing waited for a while, but when she realized that the person inside still hadn't responded, she impatiently pressed the doorknob. The door was locked from the inside, and she couldn't get in from the outside.

She knocked on the door twice more and said, "I left your bath towel on this stool outside the door. Remember to pick it up. I'm leaving now."

Ye Ling clearly heard the words "I'm leaving first" triggered by the keyword and hurriedly stood up.

Leaving now? That won't do. If the audience leaves, who will see his magnificent performance? No, no, that won't do.

Ye Ling quickly checked himself in the mirror to make sure he was still incredibly handsome, and in less than a second, he unlocked the bathroom door.

With his right arm braced against the wall to support his head, his left hand on his hip, one leg straight and the other slightly bent, this was the perfect pose he had practiced countless times!

This pose perfectly showcases his great physique. Ye Ling simply couldn't believe that anyone wouldn't be tempted by such a perfect body. Absolutely impossible!

Imagining that person's "shy" posture in her mind, Ye Ling's chest couldn't help but feel a surge of heat, and her heart was pounding violently, as if it was about to burst out of her chest.

A warm current surged towards my lower abdomen, and I had a bad feeling... Could it be something was wrong? I only thought about it for a moment before...

A faint blush crept up Ye Ling's fair neck. Oh no, things seem to be really getting out of hand...

No, no, this is indecent! He doesn't want to be seen as a blatant pervert when he's supposed to be showing off his perfect physique! He absolutely can't let this lower his image!

If things fall apart on the first meeting, then this relationship, which was not very strong to begin with, may very well break down!

Thinking of this passage that was specially marked in the online strategy guide, Ye Ling felt a chill in her heart.

Just as the door was about to be opened, he quickly looked for something to cover himself with. His eyes lit up when he saw the bath towel that had been draped over the smart toilet. "You're the one!"

He quickly took a large step, but accidentally took too big a step and pulled, the pain almost bringing tears to his eyes.

Ignoring the minor pains, Ye Ling stretched out her long arm and wrapped the bath towel around her waist.

Although there were still some ups and downs, it was much better than before; at least it wasn't to the point where people would immediately yell at me for being a hooligan.

Ye Ling breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second tragedy struck. In his panic, he accidentally knocked over the toiletries hanging on the wall, which fell to the ground with a clatter.

Without thinking twice, he quickly bent down to pick it up, but the towel he was holding down with one hand wasn't tied tightly and was hanging precariously at his waist.

Ye Ling felt a chill from behind, and half of her buttocks were exposed, bright and clear. Under the bathroom light, a few crystal-clear water droplets playfully slid across the round mound.

Chaos erupted in the bathroom.

Just then, the door opened. Pei Qing stood steadily in the doorway, watching the farce unfold with a clear smile on her lips.

Ye Ling was stiffly bent over, his left hand still pressed against the bath towel, his right hand clutching the glass shampoo bottle, not daring to move. He could only silently pray in his heart, "Please don't let the bath towel fall, please don't let it fall..."

Heaven may have heard his call, but it was the opposite.

The bath towel, soaked with water, was heavy and slowly slid down. A few seconds later, the area behind was completely exposed, with no cover whatsoever.

Ye Ling had her back to Pei Qing, and every strand of her golden hair was trembling slightly, filled with panic and helplessness.

He remained bent over because he didn't know how to deal with such a sudden event.

His handsome face was completely flushed, turning into a big, rosy apple. Tears welled up in his deep blue eyes, but he forcefully suppressed them, determined not to shed a single tear.

At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: This is the end for us!

Pei Qian forced herself to suppress her laughter, clutching the bath towel tightly in her hands to keep herself from bursting out laughing.

Faced with this dramatic turn of events, she paused for a few seconds, then pretended not to see Ye Ling's face, which was flushed red as if it were about to bleed. She walked in nonchalantly, placed the bath towel on the dry shelf, and said, "Here, I've put it over there for you. Hurry up and dry yourself off, or you'll catch a cold."

Why did you insist on sharing a room with her when she was so easily embarrassed?

Besides, everyone is an A, so what's there to be ashamed of? Pei Qing thought this matter-of-factly, completely forgetting that she hadn't told Ye Ling her real gender yet.

Pei Qing suppressed a laugh, her gaze sweeping over the boy's neck, which was already turning bright red.

Ye Ling's figure is well-maintained. Although she is still somewhat slender, it is already quite good for her age, and she has everything she should have.

She couldn't resist, whistled, raised her eyebrows, quickly reached out, and then, with great purpose and precision, slapped that perfectly round, unshielded mound facing her.

A sharp "snap!" echoed throughout the silent bathroom, lingering and reverberating.

Ye Ling was upside down, blood rushing to his forehead. His eyes widened instantly, the whites of his eyes trembled uncontrollably, and his pupils contracted sharply.

? ! !

The boy's mind went blank for a moment, his body went numb, and it took him a while to belatedly feel the constant twitching and dull pain in his gluteus maximus.

If it weren't for the slight ache in his lower back reminding him, Ye Ling would have thought he was in some strange dream.

"Pfft—cough cough, hmm, not bad, keep it up, cough, well, I'll go now, take your time wiping."

Pei Qian clenched her left fist and pressed it to her lips, pulled the door open with her right hand, and after finishing her prank, she took a step back with remarkable foresight, quickly closed the door before Ye Ling could react, and then disappeared into the distance.

"Bang!"

I had just sat down on the bed when I heard a loud noise coming from the bathroom. Had I gone too far? No way, Ye Ling doesn't seem like the kind of person who can't take a joke.

Ye Ling angrily threw the bath towel into the water, and in her frustration, she once again tore her dazzling blond hair into a shape resembling an incomplete bird's nest.

Then, in a fit of rage, he kicked the cabinet that was firmly nailed to the ground. The next second, he couldn't help but let out a series of low, hoarse cries of pain, and weakly and helplessly hugged his swollen right foot against the wall.

Oh no, oh no, what am I going to do now? I was planning to show off a bit, maybe even improve the chemistry between us, and then maybe flirt a little.

Now look what's happened! This big idiot of mine has messed everything up. Ah-Qian must think I'm a complete moron with a screw loose, and all the good image I built up today has been wasted.

Ye Ling was very frustrated. He grabbed a bath towel and wiped himself haphazardly a few times.

However, although he messed up his attempt to look cool, there was still one thing to be happy about: A-Qian praised his physique and even touched his own... hehe.

He couldn't help but cheer himself up in his heart, which meant that he still had a tiny bit of attraction.

It wasn't a complete disaster yet. As long as everything went smoothly from here on out, he believed their relationship would definitely make wonderful progress.

Before leaving the bathroom, Ye Ling cheered herself up again and again, finally mustering the courage to wrap herself in a towel and step out.

He kept his eyes straight ahead, pretending that nothing had happened, unaware that his smile was now very stiff. When he noticed Pei Qing's gaze on him, he suddenly started walking with his hands and feet moving in unison.

Seeing that the person had finally come out, Pei Qing breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought that she would never be able to take a bath tonight.

She should have booked a bigger room, one with two bathrooms. But a bigger one would cost an extra 2,000 star coins, which she really couldn't bear to do.

Oh well, it's already like this, let's just make do for one night. Tomorrow I'll take some people for a stroll and then get rid of this person as soon as possible.

Thinking this, Pei Qing started taking off her clothes. She had only taken off half of her hoodie when she heard a boy's panicked voice, "W-what are you doing?!"

Upon inadvertently catching a glimpse of the woman's movements, Ye Ling quickly lowered her head, her mouth began to stammer, and she didn't dare to lift her eyes, her fingers unconsciously clutching and rubbing the bed sheet.

Why, so suddenly? Why are you taking your clothes off in public? Are you so unguarded with him? He's an Alpha, after all! This is... this is too much...

"Hmm, what's wrong? Take off your clothes, didn't you see?"

Pei Qing didn't know what was wrong with Ye Ling. Why was she saying such strange and inexplicable things all night? Did she really need to explain something so obvious?

"No, no..." Ye Ling hurriedly waved his hand, turned his head to the side, his ear tips bright red, "You, you, why are you taking off your clothes right outside? You should take them off in the bathroom..." His voice grew softer and softer as he spoke, not daring to look up.

Pei Qing had no idea what he was saying; his voice was too soft for her to listen. She quickly took off her clothes, wrapped herself in a towel, and went into the bathroom.

Ye Ling was lost in thought when he looked up again. The bathroom door was already closed, and he could only vaguely glimpse a shadow.

The blush on his face gradually subsided, but the image kept appearing in his mind. Ye Ling shook his head, trying to dispel it, because he had something more important to do now.

That means learning some relevant knowledge so that you won't show any ignorance later on...

The dating guide says that if you do something during that time... it's a big no-no, you've already made a very embarrassing mistake, and you should never make it again.

Ye Ling cheered herself up, then observed Pei Qing's figure, secretly took out her personal computer, and began searching for relevant knowledge and tutorials online.

As he looked at it, his face turned red again. Was this too difficult for a beginner? Could he do it well?

Let's start with the basics. Ye Ling pretended to be very calm as he slid to the next video, but the blush that crept up from his neck to his cheeks betrayed his true feelings.

Pei Qing was very sleepy, so she only took a few minutes to shower before coming out. She wrapped herself in a bath towel, used a portable hair dryer to dry the ends of her hair, and walked to the bedside.

Hearing the blush-inducing sounds coming from under the covers, she curiously walked over and patted the bulging figure on the bed who had already shrunk under the covers.

"Hey, what are you looking at? You still have a lot of energy so late at night. By the way, there's a projector here, wouldn't it be better to watch it on the projector?"

Upon hearing Pei Qing's voice, Ye Ling froze for a few seconds before abruptly raising her head.

Ahhhh! He then realized that his voice was being played through the speaker!

No way! He was somewhat incoherent. Why did Pei Qing finish washing so quickly? Shouldn't it take at least ten minutes?! It's only been less than five minutes!

In any case, the matter has already been exposed, and there's no point in being ashamed or hiding it anymore, otherwise it would make one appear cowardly.

Ye Ling abruptly threw off the covers, his face still steaming. He pretended to be calm and turned on the control panel of the projector in the room, entering the rating mode.

"Okay, okay..."

His fingers trembled violently, and he couldn't hold them down for several tries. Pei Qing raised her hand and pushed him aside.

This child is so weak at such a young age? This won't do. If he's so weak, why is he watching this kind of thing? Could he be addicted to something?

Pei Qian subtly observed the people around her. Well, it had nothing to do with her anyway. She was only staying for a day, so she would let them do whatever they wanted. Whether it was real or not was irrelevant.

She deftly switched to the channel, scrolling through the available content, and asked as she did so, "Which one do you want to watch?"

Ye Ling was completely unaware of what he was doing at this moment. Ever since Pei Qing sat down, his body had been slowly getting warmer.

He didn't dare get too close to Pei Qing, afraid she'd notice something amiss, so he didn't look closely and casually pointed to the one in the far corner, saying, "This one, I guess."

"This?" Pei Qing glanced at him subtly, her eyes scanning him up and down. Tsk, I didn't realize this young man had such a taste. You really can't judge a book by its cover.

Respect, respect, we must respect.

She switched the interface to playback mode and then maximized it.

I must say, the cover is quite exquisite, and the image has a high-quality feel. Pei Qing glanced at it casually for a few moments, then grabbed a cushion, leaned comfortably against the headboard, and began to read it attentively.

Ye Ling observed Pei Qing's actions, then slowly picked up a cushion and imitated her pose. She then slowly smiled. Being with this person made everything enjoyable.

It wasn't until the film officially started that he realized why Pei Qing's gaze had been so subtle earlier—because this was a film that combined elements of sex, props, and candles!

After reading the introduction at the beginning of the film, Ye Ling felt like dying.

Honestly, he just randomly pointed at a cover featuring a man and a woman, who knew the contents would be so explosive!

Or, or that recently trending cult, female Alpha and male Alpha!!!

Oh no!! This is really bad!!

-----------------------

Author's Note: Finally, we've arrived!!!

It's definitely over, but it's someone's butt that's going to be over, hehe.

Thank you so much for waiting, my darlings! I bow deeply in gratitude. I also want to thank all the darlings who have been with me from the very beginning until now. Without your support, I wouldn't have been able to turn this little idea into such a long and interesting story. Thank you, my darlings! I bow again!

My health has been poor since the beginning of September, so I caught a cold during the change of seasons. I had to get IV drips and take medicine for several days, and I went to the lab every day. My head was always dizzy, my writing was not in good condition, and the things I wrote were not satisfactory. I felt that I was getting further and further away from my original ideas.

Every day was spent in a cycle of doubt, picking up a pen, deleting, and rewriting. I also tried to write whatever came to mind, but it always felt off. After writing more than 10,000 words, I finally decided to revise it.

My condition has finally stabilized recently, and I've been working on the outline and plot development again. I should also be responsible for the characters I've created, and no matter what, the ending shouldn't be so rushed.

Regarding bug fixing, some chapters that might be censored are simply unchangeable, as modification would lead to further censoring. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by incorrect word replacements.

Thank you again for your support, my darlings, for not giving up after all this time! Enough said, I will definitely stockpile more content and update more often in the future!

To maintain my writing momentum, I've decided to save this post first and then release it later. The update cycle will be roughly 43 or 52 days per week. I'll follow the rankings as they come. In the upcoming story, I will gradually refine the world-building and character settings, as well as add some more multifaceted characters. This is undoubtedly a challenge, and I will strive to break through my own limitations and try more themes and settings.

Finally, thank you to all the readers who made it to the end! Thank you again for your support, my darlings! *bows*
