I stubbed out my cigarette on the stone slab, took off my cumbersome coat, and then sprinted up the wall, lifting my leg and flipping myself over. But an accident happened when I jumped down; my pants were snagged by a protruding vine, instantly ripping from the hem to the crotch. Luckily, it was dark and windy, otherwise, even if I threw my face into Erhai Lake, I wouldn't be able to wash it clean.
He considered going back to change his pants, but felt that going back and forth was dishonorable and risky. He figured he might as well present himself as an upright gentleman when meeting Ye Zhi. So he tied a knot in his torn trouser leg and headed towards the inn's main building. But perhaps because the night was too cool, he felt a chill in his groin area.
I overcame my discomfort and went to the fourth floor where Ye Zhi was staying. I knocked again, but still received no response. A sense of unease crept into my mind. She shouldn't be out of the room, because most upscale inns use card-operated electricity, so if she weren't there, there shouldn't be any lights on.
I turned my head and looked again, and found that the door to the next room was not closed. In my memory, the balconies of this inn seemed to be interconnected, so I planned to stand on this balcony and look into her room again. I had no desire to spy on her, but I was worried that something had happened to her.
Through the room, I stood on the balcony and glanced across the way, only to be stunned by the scene before me. I saw Ye Zhi lying in the bathtub, and she noticed me a moment later. But she was much calmer than most women; she didn't startle awake, otherwise I would have seen everything, both what I should and shouldn't have seen. She lay there, the water surface covered in white foam, which, aside from stimulating the imagination, offered no real insight.
What is your impression of Ye Zhi? There's a poll on the WeChat official account "Tank's Bookstall" where readers can see what Ye Zhi looks like by replying "Ye Zhi"!
I waved my hand and took several steps back, indicating that it was a misunderstanding. At that moment, Ye Zhi removed her headphones and asked coldly, "Do you know what you're doing? How did you get in?"
"Should I answer your question first, or should I step back and explain after you've gotten dressed?"
"You're insane!"
I could sense Ye Zhi's anger in those three simple words. I raised my hands in an apologetic gesture and retreated from the balcony back into the corridor, but I still couldn't calm my racing heart...
Ever since Ye Zhi first appeared in my world, her aloof personality and stunning beauty have given me a sense of sacred inviolability. I had never imagined her appearing before my senses in such a way, but it happened. This stark contrast caught me completely off guard, and my heart was pounding...
I no longer know how to face her now that she's dressed. I even want to leave this inn and pretend nothing happened.
