Following the light from the incandescent bulb falling on Li Tangyan, Wen Zhaonian saw the girl standing there stiffly.
Her gaze wandered, and a slight bite mark appeared on her pale pink lips.
Realizing that his behavior had been somewhat abrupt, Wen Zhaonian looked away, his knuckles lightly scratching the back of his neck, only to find some white ash on them.
He was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had unconsciously leaned against the wall.
He lightly rubbed the ash off his index finger with the pad of his thumb, his slender, phoenix-shaped eyes drooped slightly, and the shadows beneath his long eyelashes obscured the slight mockery in his eyes.
"Feel sorry."
His voice was hoarse, adding an ethereal quality to the empty hallway.
"It doesn't matter."
“…”
In this slightly awkward atmosphere, Wen Zhaonian and Li Tangyan used their back-and-forth banter to completely trap the two of them on an embarrassing path.
Silence spread between the two until the sounds of playful banter outside the corridor came in waves.
Finally, just when Li Tangyan felt she was about to choke to death in this strange atmosphere, she saw Wen Zhaonian already walking down the stairs first.
He was tall and slender, and always kept his back straight, even in the dim light.
After regaining her senses, Li Tangyan followed.
When they got close enough to be just two steps away from him, their gazes inevitably fell on the back of Wen Zhaonian's head.
Suddenly, Wen Zhaonian felt a tightness on his shoulder. Before he could turn around, he felt the person behind him pressing down on him and then tiptoeing up.
The refreshing lime scent diluted the stale smell in the hallway.
The moment she spoke, the heat spread across the back of her neck, bringing a tingling, itchy sensation.
"Wait a minute, there's some dust on your hair."
Li Tangyan gently patted his hair; the soft touch made him want to take the opportunity to ruffle it a couple of times.
So focused was he that he didn’t notice the unusual moment when the hand on Wen Zhaonian’s shoulder stiffened with each breath.
It wasn't until someone grabbed her wrist that her tiptoes touched the ground again.
She tilted her head and glanced at Wen Zhaonian, still looking somewhat puzzled.
"Let's go back first, they must be getting impatient."
The lingering sensation of that person's fingertips accidentally touching his hair seemed to remain in his hair, and Wen Zhaonian lowered his gaze and looked away.
He didn't know if he forgot to pull his hand away from her wrist.
A slight coolness between her fingers, as she shifted her body to the side, she helped Li Tangyan down two steps to be level with her.
Li Tangyan responded with an "oh," unaware that anything was amiss.
The two walked down the road side by side. Although they didn't speak, the awkwardness from before had lessened.
When Wen Zhaonian and Li Tangyan walked back to the door of the private room, Li Tangyan seemed to remember something.
With her arms crossed over her chest, she turned to look at Wen Zhaonian, her half-blinked eyes seeming to hold tiny starlight: "Why were you hiding behind me without making a sound just now? I was almost scared to death."
"It's mainly inconvenient."
"?"
"It was the first time I saw someone peeking through a wall, and I thought it was strange, so I recorded a video."
Wen Zhaonian took out his phone and tapped the screen a few times with his long, slender fingers.
Then I saw him bend down and turn his phone screen so it was facing him.
In the background music of the video, a girl can be seen half-huddled in a corner, her head peeking out a little, her hands covering her eyes but secretly peeking out through two slits.
Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she was so focused that she didn't notice the person behind her getting closer.
As the video neared its end, Wen Zhaonian looked at Li Tangyan's face, which was already flushed red as if it were about to bleed.
As she reached out to grab her phone, Wen Zhaonian had already turned off the screen and withdrawn his hand.
With his hands behind his back, he exudes a leisurely and lazy air.
He leaned forward, and as he got closer to her face, the two elongated shadows on the ground overlapped.
The voice that came from beside my ear had a captivating metallic quality, deliberately lowered by the person.
His words, tinged with laughter, made her feel her earlobes heating up at lightning speed: "You seemed to enjoy watching this, didn't you?"
"Delete it!"
At this moment, Li Tangyan's face seemed to be steaming with heat, and she lightly stomped her white shoes on the ground twice.
However, before she could even grab Wen Zhaonian's clothes, she saw that the man had already pushed open the door to the private room behind him.
His thin lips parted slightly, and his narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes tilted upwards.
Amidst the noise from inside the room, a voice tinged with laughter carried a teasing slyness: "No way."
A gust of wind blew in through the half-open window at the end of the corridor, and Li Tangyan stopped in her tracks.
Listening to the conversations coming from inside the private room, my already chaotic thoughts exploded like fireworks in my mind.
Inside the private room, Li Tangyan's loud voice, saying "Delete it for me," was heard by many people inside.
So as soon as Wen Zhaonian entered, some curious people gathered around.
He nudged his elbow, his face full of gossip: "What were you two talking about just now? What did you delete? Let me see."
"No, it's not suitable for you."
"Hey, you. Is there anything else that I'm not suited for?"
The man persisted, but Wen Zhaonian merely lifted his eyelids, his gaze sweeping over a certain spot, and said calmly, "Teaching material."
*
Because Wen Zhaonian and his group had to work the next day, their so-called all-night party ended before nine o'clock.
Under the bright lights and amidst the towering buildings, the black Audi, blending into the traffic, inevitably became a small black dot on the road.
As the car moved along, the night view outside the window became a beautiful yet hazy scene frozen in my eyes.
Li Tangyan sat in the passenger seat, the orange light shining in and falling on the girl.
Right now, she's scrolling through her phone looking at the trending topic that's been pushed to number one, her wide grin revealing her incredibly happy mood.
Hao Fu must be furious right now.
Thinking this, Li Tangyan switched the interface, opened Xu Miaomiao's WeChat, and immediately sent her an emoji.
Chestnut drinking porridge: [As expected of one of my favorite women, I can't live without you~ (hugs and devours porridge.gif)]
Just two seconds later, Xu Miaomiao's profile picture shook.
Xu Miaomiao: [I think you're talking nonsense.gif]
Looking at Xu Miaomiao's reply, Li Tangyan could already imagine how disgusted she looked.
He burst out laughing.
Hearing the sound, Wen Zhaonian looked over and happened to see Li Tangyan's grinning face, which stretched almost to her ears, as well as the note that flashed by before the screen went dark.
My baby.
Without realizing it, a straight line had formed on her light-colored lips.
His index finger rose and fell back onto the steering wheel, the graininess in his voice carrying a hint of coolness as his tone deepened: "Very happy?"
Li Tangyan thought he was asking about the entry, so she didn't look up and said with a hint of excitement, "You don't know yet, do you? He Yu'an and Zhou Yong's story has already topped the trending searches."
"The hype is only growing, it will be hard for them to cover it up now."
