After dinner, Gu Qingqiu took a walk around the area for a while. Bai Jingyuan kept a distance of about one meter from her the whole time and didn't say a word.
Later, feeling a bit tired, Gu Qingqiu turned on her phone's navigation and located the hotel she had booked earlier.
Upon reaching the hotel entrance, Bai Jingyuan stopped.
Gu Qingqiu asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Bai Jingyuan looked up at the hotel's opulent decorations and said somewhat awkwardly, "Sister, I'll leave you here. I'm going home now. If you want me to play with you again tomorrow, just send me a message."
Gu Qingqiu thought for a moment, then feigned fear, "Ah...you want me to sleep in a hotel alone tonight? I'll be so scared! And I don't know anyone here, I don't know how safe it is, what if someone secretly knocks on my door at night?"
Bai Jingyuan originally wanted to say that we live in a society governed by the rule of law, but he hesitated when he saw Gu Qingqiu's expensive clothes. It seemed that there had indeed been a robbery in this area recently.
“…Alright, I’ll go with you.” Bai Jingyuan gritted his teeth and agreed, though a faint blush crept onto his ears.
Gu Qingqiu handed her and Bai Jingyuan's ID cards to the receptionist. "Hello, my surname is Gu, and I have an appointment."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The receptionist took the ID card with a professional smile, bent down and operated the computer for a few moments, then handed the ID card and room key back with both hands. "It's registered. Take the elevator to the third floor, turn left and go to the second room."
Bai Jingyuan used his excellent dynamic vision to clearly see the information he wanted when Gu Qingqiu took out her ID card. He was somewhat incredulous. Although he knew Gu Qingqiu should be older than him, he didn't expect her to be so much older...
Although I've never considered my own criteria for choosing a partner, if the person is Gu Qingqiu, then even if she's ten years older, it wouldn't matter, right...?
Stop! Stop! Bai Jingyuan was startled by the random thought that had suddenly popped into his head. Why was he thinking such nonsense? It must be because he was too nervous about staying in a hotel with a woman for the first time in his life...
After entering the room, Bai Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief. It was a twin room, thank goodness...
As soon as Gu Qingqiu entered the room, she kicked off her high heels and rubbed her sore calves.
Bai Jingyuan noticed this action and wanted to offer his help, but after thinking about it, he was afraid of being presumptuous, so he kept quiet.
This hotel has an overly complete range of amenities; there's even a computer in the room.
Gu Qingqiu grabbed her bathrobe. "I'm going to take a shower first. I see it's just past nine o'clock now. Do you want to do a live stream for a bit?"
"Oh...okay..." Bai Jingyuan regretted it as soon as he finished speaking. Hearing the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, he was completely distracted and couldn't possibly do a live broadcast.
Finally, in an attempt to distract himself, Bai Jingyuan randomly clicked on an episode of a TV series recommended on the homepage. However, although his eyes seemed to be on the screen, his mind was completely on the bathroom, and he didn't remember anything the male and female leads said or did.
The sound of water stopped, and Bai Jingyuan sat up stiffly, his expression solemn, as if he were watching a serious press conference rather than a TV drama.
Gu Qingqiu opened the bathroom door, and a burst of steam was released from the tightly closed bathroom.
Bai Jingyuan saw Gu Qingqiu's loose bathrobe and graceful curves through the glass, and then he saw Gu Qingqiu walking towards him.
He swallowed nervously.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Gu Qingqiu rested her elbow on the back of Bai Jingyuan's chair, leaned slightly forward, and her hair brushed against the skin on the back of Bai Jingyuan's neck, giving him goosebumps.
Seemingly finding Bai Jingyuan's reaction particularly interesting, Gu Qingqiu whispered in his ear, "'The Domineering Female CEO Forces Her Love for a Younger Man'? So Jingzai likes this kind of thing?"
Bai Jingyuan was stunned. Only then did he realize that the TV series he had clicked on was called that. He hadn't been watching it carefully at all.
This...this name is too easy to misunderstand; that's not what he meant!
Bai Jingyuan hurriedly got up, "I'm going to take a shower!"
Bai Jingyuan, who had finally calmed down after taking a cold shower, realized that he hadn't brought any change of clothes with him because he had left in a hurry. Moreover, he had forgotten to bring his bathrobe into the bathroom, which was hanging in the wardrobe outside. Now, the only thing that could hide his body was a small bath towel in the bathroom.
Bai Jingyuan gestured for a moment and realized that the bath towel could barely cover his waist and below. If he went out like this...
Just imagining what it would feel like to be watched by his older sister made Bai Jingyuan feel hot all over. The steam in the bathroom made his fair skin turn slightly red. He looked at himself in the mirror and realized that he was indeed a bit thin... His sister probably wouldn't like this kind of figure, would she?
The sound of water had stopped for almost ten minutes, and there was still no sign of Bai Jingyuan coming out. Gu Qingqiu was getting a little impatient. She walked to the bathroom door and knocked, "Jingzai, aren't you done washing yet?"
Bai Jingyuan was startled, and the bath towel around his waist almost slipped off. He quickly pressed the towel with one hand and replied with the other, "R-right away!"
Then he took a deep breath and silently calculated the path to put on the bathrobe as soon as he stepped out of the bathroom.
Three, two, one, charge!
Bai Jingyuan abruptly turned the bathroom doorknob and was about to open the wardrobe with bathrobes not far away when his gaze involuntarily fell on Gu Qingqiu, who was sitting on the bed.
Gu Qingqiu reclined on the headboard, her cheeks flushed. Her white bathrobe slipped off her shoulders, revealing her rounded shoulders and fair, alluring skin. Her eyes were half-open and half-closed, and her legs, crossed beneath the bathrobe, were straight and smooth, with some redness and swelling at the ankles, perhaps from the high heels she wore that day, but which only added to her allure.
