Chapter 189 Extra 13
Qin Tian's lips curled up. This was someone's personal ringtone. It was just past seven o'clock, so it looked like he had returned to the hotel.
She scratched his video request.
"Are you back to the hotel?" they both asked at the same time.
"Yeah." Tong Zhongyuan walked to the bed and half-lay down. "Did you put on makeup today? Does your nose still hurt?"
"You're still talking, it's all blue. I had to cover it up with foundation."
Qin Tian turned around and glanced at Mu Yanrui. He was looking in her direction with a stunned look on his face.
"I have something to do right now. I'll call you back in 20 minutes."
Tong Zhongyuan sat up: "Why?"
"My student is here. I'll talk to you after he leaves." Qin Tian said in a low voice.
"Qin Tian, are you saying that your student is in your hotel room now?"
Tong Zhongyuan's voice wasn't loud, but it wasn't quiet either. Qin Tian felt a little embarrassed, afraid that Mu Yanrui might hear her. She took her phone and walked into the bathroom, closing the door.
"His phone was stolen today, and he called me from the police station. But it was too late, and the service center was closed. I booked him a room at the hotel. Tomorrow I'll help him get his phone number back, buy him a new phone, and transfer some money to him, and he'll be able to go home."
Tong Zhongyuan walked to the window and opened it. His phone had been stolen, but he remembered Qin Tian's phone number.
"Since you've booked a room, why are you in your room?"
"He was injured on his face. I had some Band-Aids in my room, so I treated the wound. He seemed to have a slight fever."
Tong Zhongyuan suddenly closed the window, making a loud "bang". Qin Tian was startled and was about to ask when his voice, suppressed with anger, rang out.
"Qin Tian, now, immediately, immediately, let him leave your room."
"I see. I was just about to take his temperature and have him go back to his room to rest. Don't worry, I know my limits. I'm keeping an eye on the male students and female teachers. But it's not that late now."
"Listen to me," he clenched his knuckles until they turned white, his heart ablaze with anger, but his tone grew calmer. "Stay on the line, walk out, and make him leave now. I want to see him leave your room."
Qin Tian looked helplessly at his cold face in the video. She knew it was a little inappropriate to be in the same room with a male student, but there had to be a reason. She hadn't expected Tong Zhongyuan to react so strongly. However, from his perspective, his request wasn't excessive. She didn't want to be unhappy with him over something like this. She sighed and switched the camera. She held the phone in her hand, letting him see the general idea. After all, he just wanted to know why Mu Yanrui left.
She thought about her words and opened the door. Mu Yanrui looked at her silently, his face a little pale, the previous redness gone.
"I'll go with you to the business hall tomorrow morning to get a new card. You're tired today, so go to bed early. If you need anything tonight, just call me in my room."
Mu Yanrui said nothing. He stood up and walked out of the room. Before the door closed, he whispered a thank you and left.
She closed the door, took out her phone, and switched back to the front camera.
"Well, he's gone."
Tong Zhongyuan didn't say anything, the coldness between his brows still lingering. Qin Tian saw his cold face and only found it amusing. She originally thought that Tong Zhongyuan's objection to Mu Yanrui entering her room was probably because the scale between teachers and students was very sensitive these days, and if he wasn't careful, it might be used to make a fuss, affecting his work and life. But now seeing that he was still angry, was he jealous? That was too outrageous. Although Mu Yanrui was an adult, he was still a child. With Tong Zhongyuan's maturity, how could he bother with such a child?
"I've already let him go, why are you still unhappy?" Qin Tian lay down on the bed holding her phone. She was exhausted after running around outside all day and wearing such an uncomfortable skirt.
Tong Zhongyuan had only seen her face before, but now that she was holding up her phone, he could see what she was wearing. Her collarbones were like a pair of graceful jade ruyi, and the seductive curve of her V-neck was faintly visible.
"Are you wearing this dress?"
"Yeah, such an expensive skirt, if I don't wear it this time, it will probably just be put away in the bottom of the closet. As a result, it's been very inconvenient all day. I still like to wear comfortable clothes."
She muttered to herself, about the worry she felt when she received the scam call, the relief she felt when she saw Mu Yanrui was safe, and how she had blisters on her heels from wearing high heels to match the skirt.
Tong Zhongyuan did not interrupt her, but just watched her talking and laughing on the phone screen, even when she was complaining, she had a sweet smile on her face.
Qin Tian talked for a long time before she realized that Tong Zhongyuan was talking less than usual, his brows furrowed. She wondered if he was still upset about what had just happened, or if things hadn't gone well for him at the opening ceremony. She shouldn't have just been talking about her own affairs; she should have asked him about it.
She had just opened her mouth when she heard the doorbell ring on his end. He looked up and said, "I'll go check it out."
After a few seconds, he came back.
"I have something to do, so I'll hang up first. It's getting late, so don't go out at night, and don't let anyone in."
Qin Tian nodded and agreed.
After hanging up the phone, she finally changed out of her clothes, washed her hair, and took a shower. Once she was done and lying on the bed, she finally felt completely relaxed. She flipped through her chat history with Tong Zhongyuan on her phone. Many of the sentences were apparently ordinary, but she couldn't help but curl her lips.
Thinking of his last two words of concern, she felt that when she first met him, he was cold-hearted and nothing could be taken seriously by him. But now, she felt that Tong Zhongyuan was a life of worry. Even when she was in a developed city like Hangzhou and staying in a five-star hotel, he still didn't feel at ease.
But she liked him so much. She liked Tong Zhongyuan like this... Gradually, she let go of the phone. She closed her eyes and reached for the main light control button. All the light seemed to be turned off by a lights-out device, and she fell asleep in the quiet darkness.
She seemed to have a dream. In it, she was watering the flowers at home when the doorbell rang. She thought about opening the door, but her hands were wet, so she wiped them first. Just then, the doorbell rang again. She wondered impatiently, "Who is so impatient? I'm here right now." As she searched for paper towels in the kitchen, the doorbell rang again.
"Here you are!" She had no choice but to answer. This sound woke her up. In the darkness, she opened her eyes, and the doorbell in her dream was so real that it woke her up.
"Ding Dong." The doorbell rang again.
She was stunned for a moment, then turned on the night light. It was 1:30 a.m. Was she hallucinating?
“Ding Dong.”
It wasn't an auditory hallucination. She was certain someone was actually ringing the doorbell. Every cell in her body instantly woke up. The doorbell ringing at this time was definitely not a good sign. She got up from the bed and walked to the door cautiously.
“Ding Dong.”
Don't be afraid, she told herself. The door was chained, and there was a peephole. She'd just check to see who it was. If she had any questions, she could call the front desk.
She tiptoed and quietly put one eye close to the peephole to look.
In the dim light of the corridor, a handsome man was staring at the door, looking at her through the peephole. As if knowing that she was observing him, the teardrop mole at the end of his eye raised slightly.
Qin Tian quickly turned the doorknob to open it, and when he pulled it, the chain tightened, securing him safely.
"Why are you here?" She whispered, trying to stick her head out through the door.
Tong Zhongyuan saw her fluffy head pressed against the door, her sleepy eyes filled with surprise. He couldn't help but lift the end of her hair through the door chain.
"Silly, open the door first."
"Yes."
Qin Tian retracted his head, closed the door, untied the chain, and reopened the door.
"Didn't you say you had something to do? Why did you suddenly…"
Before she could finish her words, her waist tightened, and she was entwined in his embrace, inseparable. Soft, burning lips pressed down. Tong Zhongyuan kissed her while dragging the luggage in with one hand. His freed hands pinned her to the narrow passage wall. Her mind was blank, a mess, filled with only the scorching heat that made her tremble, but she couldn't retreat, had nowhere to escape, and could only let him plunder her at will. Her consciousness drifted lighter and lighter. She could only hear the unbearable low rumble in his throat, the sound of his lips and teeth rubbing against each other.
Her nightgown slid to the floor as he kissed her downward. Her remaining consciousness was still pondering the question of why he had come at this hour. However, her body had recognized him even before she did. In just one month, his scent, his voice, his warmth had become a spark that easily ignited her, burning her in an instant. Every inch of her skin he touched burned, every pore yearning for him. Unconsciously, a tender cry escaped her lips.
The string of reason snapped. He couldn't wait to carry her to bed, didn't even have time to undress. He eagerly pressed her against the wall, fully clothed, and possessed her. The air conditioner vents emitted a monotonous, mechanical sound. Trembling moans, interwoven with the heavy gasps of desire, gradually rose, drowning out the whirring of the air conditioner, echoing high and low in the guest room late at night.
He kissed her back with utmost tenderness, then turned over her shoulder and stroked her hair, kissing and flattering her, affectionate and tender. She stared at him, dazed, a stark difference from the man she had just been. However, the illusion lasted only a moment, as his gaze darkened, and he slowly, tossing himself into a new round of lovemaking.
This night was full of ups and downs, the earth was shaking and the sky was trembling, and I had no idea what year it was.
