Chapter 54

Arriving at the bathroom door, they heard no more water running, so Lin Zeyang must have finished showering.

Rong Rong stepped forward and gently knocked on the door. "Dinner is ready. Do we have to wait a while before we eat?"

There was no response from inside the door, so Rong Rong waited a while and knocked on the door again.

After three such attempts, with no response from inside the door, Rong Rong finally began to get anxious.

Thinking about how this guy just got caught in the rain and cried, and his face still had an abnormal flush, could it be that he fainted from a fever?

Seeing the key in the lock, Rong Rong went straight to the doorknob and asked, "Lin Zeyang? Are you alright?"

Still receiving no response, Rong Rong no longer hesitated and twisted her wrist to open the bathroom door.

"I'm going in!" Rong Rong called out one last time, pushing open the door.

The rising steam from the room instantly rushed towards her, and through the steam, Rong Rong was confronted with a bare chest.

His full and sexy pectoral muscles gleamed with a bronze luster under the dim bathroom light, with water droplets still clinging to them. As Rong Rong watched, the water droplets slowly slid down, meandering along the muscle lines, past his eight-pack abs, and finally disappearing into the bath towel wrapped around his waist.

The bath towel was loose and baggy, as if it might fall off at any moment, revealing the breathtaking beauty underneath.

Rong Rong was stunned. It was like two different worlds. Although she had been with men before, and the men were all of good quality, she was the one who was taken advantage of in the past. She was the one who was passively enduring it.

This was the first time someone had stood before her, so vibrant and alluring, allowing her to appreciate them and presenting her with a visual feast.

Although Lin Zeyang looks like a teenager, his physique is in no way inferior to that of a mature man. Although he cannot compare with Yu Wang, who has been practicing martial arts for many years, he is comparable to Li Tianyi and Shang Feng, and he has the advantage of being young and full of vigor.

The two stood there for a long time until Lin Zeyang's hoarse voice came from above Rong Rong's head, "Senior."

This call was tinged with embarrassment, yet subtly concealed a hidden agenda.

Rong Rong blushed and stammered, "I'm so sorry, I thought you had fainted."

After saying that, she was about to leave the bathroom, but Lin Zeyang grabbed Rong Rong.

"It's okay. I didn't dare to go out because I found my clothes on the road. It's not my fault."

Rong Rong was being pulled along by Lin Zeyang, her petite body completely enveloped by his tall figure, making it appear as if she was being held in Lin Zeyang's arms.

Rong Rong felt hot all over, whether from the steam or from being too shy and agitated, she didn't know. But before she could recover, Lin Zeyang took a step forward and leaned down again.

“Senior, you don’t need to be embarrassed. Back then, you were the one who took me in, but you only gave me money. I didn’t do anything for you. It’s not too late for you to exercise your rights now.”

Her hot breath sprayed onto Rong Rong's forehead, and the temperature in the bathroom rose sharply.

Rong Rong's expression instantly cracked, and her mind went completely blank.

"Shameless! Shameless! Shameless!" 666 howled in the system space.

What's unclear now? This scoundrel is deliberately seducing its host!

Rong Rong finally realized what was happening. She pretended to be embarrassed and annoyed, saying, "Stop joking." Then she turned and left in a hurry.

Lin Zeyang patted his head in frustration, turned around and looked in the mirror. Yes, he was very handsome. He frowned in confusion.

Lin Zeyang, once the school heartthrob and a top idol in the entertainment industry, with hundreds of millions of girls chasing after him and calling him "husband," began to doubt his own appearance and charm for the first time.

Suddenly, Rong Rong's captivating face flashed into Lin Zeyang's mind, and he finally realized that he really wasn't handsome enough.

He lowered his head in disappointment, his hair, which had just been carefully combed, drooped on his head as if it had withered. In the blink of an eye, the handsome man who could make people swoon had turned into a drowned rat.

When Xiao Niu arrived, he saw Lin Zeyang sitting on the sofa with his head drooping, his chest bare and wrapped in a bath towel.

A handsome man emerges from the bath! Xiao Niu instantly covers her nose and throws the bag of clothes at Lin Zeyang from a distance, shouting, "I...I'm not that kind of person, don't try to seduce me!"

The clothes hit Lin Zeyang hard in the face. He stood up abruptly and walked towards Xiao Niu in a rage.

The little cow waved her umbrella with her eyes closed, shouting, "No, don't come any closer! I'm not interested in you, I have a boyfriend!"

Lin Zeyang's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, "Get out of here with your broken umbrella!"

God knows how much of a blow it was to Lin Zeyang, who was already insecure because of Rong Rong, to be so disliked by Xiao Niu.

Feeling utterly defeated, he never considered just how perverted he was to lure a single woman to his villa naked in the middle of the night.

The calf, as if granted a pardon, fled out the gate like a shot.

"Who's here?" Rong Rong asked curiously as she entered the living room. Lin Zeyang quickly clutched his clothes to his chest.

"No, my assistant brought me some clothes."

Lin Zeyang, who had been as radiant as a peacock just moments before, suddenly became shy and started to cover himself up, perhaps due to his inferiority complex.

"Hmm, that's more like it." 666 nodded in satisfaction. "If you know you're ugly, then cover up a bit, don't offend Rongrong's eyes!"

As she spoke, 666 puffed out her belly and wiggled her pert buttocks, "Only someone as fair and plump as me is worthy of Rong Rong's attention."

Once Lin Zeyang was dressed and seated at the dining table, his expression returned to normal. He chatted with Rong Rong about the script as if nothing had happened.

Rong Rong also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although male beauty was attractive, she was not a casual person.

The night passed peacefully, and Lin Zeyang stayed in the villa for the next few days without going out.

"We'll take a break from work for a while and talk about it again once the storm has passed," Lin Zeyang explained to Rong Rong with a smile. "It'll be a good opportunity for me to rehearse with Rong Rong and get a feel for the role."

This time, Lin Zeyang didn't call her "senior sister" again, as if he was deliberately cutting ties with that night, which made Rong Rong feel more relaxed.

"Okay." Rong Rong's lips curled up, and a glint flashed in her eyes. Now she was single-mindedly focused on playing Su Ying well.

Rong Rong's life was very regular. In the morning, she practiced Kunqu Opera in front of the mirror, and in the afternoon, she rehearsed with Lin Zeyang.

That day, Rong Rong got so engrossed in singing in front of the mirror that after a few lines of her song, she immediately started dancing.

Rong Rong was dressed in a theatrical costume, a pure white dress embroidered with exquisite patterns, which made her look elegant and refined. Her face without makeup was incredibly beautiful, even more captivating than when she was fully made up.

Her long, flowing sleeves swung out in graceful arcs, her slender waist swayed elegantly, and her flowing skirt danced in the air, like ripples spreading across the water.

Rong Rong twirled freely, her long, flowing hair like mist, her slender arms bent into the shape of flower stamens, swaying and dancing in the middle of the vase.

As Rong Rong finished the last lap and was about to lean to the side to make the next move, someone suddenly grabbed her waist and spun her around in a big circle, forcing her to lie back in that person's arms.
