Qingyao led Yun Ao out of the valley without stopping until they entered an inn. She hurriedly asked for a superior room, then quickly pulled Yun Ao into the room, only letting go of his hand after the door was closed.
Yun Ao finally regained his freedom. While rubbing his wrist which had been pinched red, he looked up at the woman in front of him whose behavior was unpredictable.
For some reason, he had been plagued by bad luck ever since he met her. Looking at her at this moment, Yun Ao felt his right eyelid twitching, and thought to himself that something was wrong, as he felt that more troubles would follow.
Qingyao didn't seem to notice Yun Ao's little movement. She walked straight to the window, gently pushed it open, looked at the bustling street outside the window, and said after a moment of silence: "Let's rest here for a while, but you'd better not have any bad ideas and cooperate obediently, otherwise..." She glanced back at Yun Ao, a hint of warning in her eyes.
Yun Ao snorted coldly, "I'd like to know why you're bothering me like this. I'm just a nobody, not worth all the trouble."
A mysterious smile appeared on Qingyao's lips: "You are so beautiful that you can feast your eyes on others."
Just as Yun Ao was about to lose his temper, there was a sudden sound of noisy footsteps outside the door, followed by the waiter's respectful voice: "Sir, the hot water and food you ordered are here!"
When Yun Ao heard that there was hot water, his face changed suddenly. In an instant, he stood up from the chair like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and pointed at Qingyao with trembling fingers. His eyes were full of fear and shame, and he stammered: "You...you want to use that hot water..." Before he finished speaking, Qingyao moved lightly and was in front of him. With a glance in her eyes, she grabbed his trembling fingers and gently rubbed them twice in the palm of her hand.
This sudden act of intimacy was like an electric current that struck Yun Ao's heart, completely igniting his anger and making him explode in an instant.
He jerked his arm away, pulling his hand back with all his might, as if the area he had touched was stained with something unclean. Then, he scurried to the nearby shelf, plunged his hand into the wash basin, and scrubbed it vigorously, muttering, "This is ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous!"
Qingyao was slightly startled when she saw his reaction, then the corners of her mouth rose up, outlining a meaningful arc, and a mischievous smile flashed in her eyes. She seemed quite satisfied with his overreaction, and seemed to know something secret. She just stood there quietly, admiring Yun Ao's embarrassment.
Qingyao moved lightly and raised her hand to open the door. The waiter was very clever, swiftly placing the food on the table one by one, then quickly turned to fill the bathtub in the room with hot water. When everything was ready, he bent over, with a smile on his face, and retreated, not forgetting to gently close the door.
Seeing this, Yun Ao's face became so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. He turned around abruptly, strode towards the door, and reached out to open the door to escape from this place that made him feel uncomfortable.
However, just as his fingers touched the door, Qingyao's voice came from behind him, with a hint of unquestionable coldness: "You can try the consequences of opening the door."
Yun Ao's body stiffened, but his neck remained stiff. Under Qingyao's half-smile, he lowered his voice and retorted with a bit of fierceness: "You dare, I'm not afraid of you, what can you do to me?" There was a subtle tremor in the tone of voice that pretended to be tough.
Qingyao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, outlining a meaningful arc. She stared straight at Yun Ao and said slowly: "I can eat you up completely. I believe you can't beat me!" After that, she raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes full of teasing.
When Yun Ao heard this, he felt like his soft spot had been hit. He immediately lowered his head dejectedly like a deflated ball.
He reluctantly moved back to the dining table, sat down, grabbed the bowl and chopsticks in a huff, and stuffed the food into his mouth. However, the food tasted like chewing wax. His heart was filled with resentment and helplessness about this inexplicable situation, but he had no choice but to bow his head in front of this strong woman.
Seeing Yun Ao's frustrated and helpless look, Qing Yao felt secretly amused, but she stopped teasing him. She turned and walked to the window, quietly looking at the street scene outside the window, her thoughts drifting away.
Yun Ao was eating absentmindedly while stealing glances at Qingyao's back out of the corner of his eye.
He was secretly thinking about how to get out of this hellhole and get rid of this strange woman. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. He remained calm on the surface and continued to pretend to eat his meal obediently.
When Qingyao came to her senses, Yun Ao had already put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said casually, "I'm very tired after all this trouble. I want to take a shower and rest first." Qingyao looked him up and down and nodded slightly in agreement.
Yun Ao stood up and walked towards the tub. He caught a glimpse of Qing Yao not paying much attention to him, so he quietly poured a packet of medicinal powder hidden in his sleeve into the tub. This powder was something he had accidentally found before, and it was said to have the effect of making people sleepy, and now it came in handy.
He quickly took off his clothes, stepped into the bathtub, and pretended to take a bath.
After a while, he deliberately made a light snoring sound. Qingyao heard the sound and looked towards the bathtub vigilantly. Then he called softly, "Yun Ao?" Seeing no one answered, he slowly walked closer.
When she approached the bathtub and was about to check, Yun Ao suddenly stood up from the water, holding a wet cloth in his hand, and covered Qingyao's mouth and nose with lightning speed.
Qingyao was shocked and tried to struggle, but she inhaled the powder and suddenly felt dizzy and her body gradually became limp.
