I had only eaten half of the meatball when water droplets suddenly fell from the sky.
Lu Chuqing was stunned for a moment, then took a closer look and realized that it really was raining.
"It's raining," Xi Qingxu said.
"I don't know how heavy the rain is, let's finish eating quickly and go back." After saying that, Lu Chuqing lowered her head and ate faster.
"Mm," Xi Qingxu replied.
The two stopped talking, quickly finished eating, and casually threw their disposable lunch boxes into the trash can before returning the way they came.
On the way back, the raindrops got heavier, and Lu Chuqing pulled Xi Qingxu along for a short distance. By the time they got home, only their hair was slightly damp.
"Mom and the others didn't bring umbrellas either, and I don't know when they'll be back."
The girl changed into slippers and said something casually.
Xi Qingxu waited until she changed before taking out slippers and putting them on. "I'll call Uncle later and ask him. When they come back, I'll bring an umbrella and meet them at the entrance of the community."
"Alright." Lu Chuqing picked up her schoolbag from the entryway cabinet and went upstairs. "Then I'll have to trouble you."
"It's okay, it's not hard work." The boy, also carrying his schoolbag, followed behind her.
Once upstairs, Lu Chuqing suddenly turned around, and Xi Qingxu stopped in his tracks, looking up at her.
"I'm going to take a shower later. If you want to take a shower too, you can go downstairs."
"Okay, I'll use the one downstairs," he replied with a blank expression.
Lu Chuqing then carried her schoolbag into the room. Xi Qingxu watched as her door closed before continuing to walk forward.
I walked past the door with the pink strawberry sign, through the bathroom sandwiched in between, and finally reached my own door, touching the handle.
Turn the knob and push the door.
Enter, then close the door.
The world is quiet.
He placed his schoolbag on the edge of the bed, sat on the bed motionless, his mind blank and his eyes unfocused.
Not long after, he heard the sound of a doorknob turning outside, followed by the soft sound of a lock clicking shut. Only then did his eyes flicker.
Then he picked up his schoolbag, went to his desk, took out his homework, and started writing.
After returning to her room, Lu Chuqing played on her phone for a while and saw that she had received private messages in the background requesting articles. She opened them, looked at them, and then replied.
After learning digital painting, she gained another way to earn money: drawing portraits for free.
Drawing portraits is relatively simple; she only draws two or three a week. The National Day holiday starts tomorrow, and she checked her private messages and found that she had received replies saying she would finish the drawings within three days. She said she would make an appointment if she could accept that.
After finishing these tasks, the rain outside intensified. Remembering Lu Ying's instructions to close the balcony door, she got up and went out to close the small door to the second-floor balcony.
Not hearing any noise, she assumed Xi Qingxu was doing her homework in her room, so she went downstairs to close the door to the balcony.
The downstairs bathroom was next to the balcony. As soon as she reached the balcony, the bathroom door opened, and the boy's figure appeared before her.
Hearing her come downstairs, Xi Qingxu thought something was wrong and asked while drying her hair, "What's wrong?"
Lu Chuqing looked at him, her gaze lingering on him for a while.
The boy had just finished showering, wearing loose shorts and a gray casual short-sleeved shirt, and was drying his dripping hair with a towel in his hand.
She was still damp from the bath, and her usually expressionless face was flushed with a rare touch of red. Her lips were full and quite alluring.
Lu Chuqing felt that this person was doing it on purpose, how could she keep running into him right after he finished showering?
Having lived two lives, she considered herself a mature aunt, but even she couldn't resist the handsome young man's repeated seductions.
She pinched the flesh of her palm secretly, reminding herself not to act foolishly again, and said to him, "I just heard the rain was getting heavier and thought you were doing your homework in your room, so I came down to close the balcony door."
Xi Qingxu had already dried her hair and replied, "I've already turned it off."
The girl then noticed that the balcony door was closed, and the clothes that had been drying had been taken away by the man before Xi Jun left. Now the balcony was empty, and she could see the drizzling rain outside.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room." With that, she turned and went upstairs.
If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she might develop bad intentions towards Xi Qingxu.
Back in her room, Xi Qingxu glanced at her phone but hadn't replied to the message she'd sent to Xi Jun.
He had called the man shortly after he got back, but the man didn't answer.
He thought it was just too lively over there, so he sent a message, but it remained unread.
He glanced at his phone and then put it down, thinking that he probably hadn't heard it because it was too noisy.
The first autumn rain arrived, not as a gentle drizzle, but as a heavy downpour carrying a chill.
The hotel bathroom was entirely made of glass. The man leaned against the wall, one arm around the woman's waist and the other supporting the back of her head.
The space was enclosed, and warm water poured down from the overhead shower, filling the room with mist.
Their clothes were completely soaked, clinging to their skin and revealing their figures.
The man had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, with the shape of his muscles faintly visible beneath the thin fabric of his clothing.
The Adam's apple bobbed as it swallowed, reluctant to part with the soft petals.
The woman's black hair was loose, and her silk dress, soaked through, made her appear naked, clearly outlining the curves of her body.
She hooked her arm around the man's neck with one hand, and began unbuttoning his shirt with the other.
Xi Jun grunted, panting, and said urgently, "Yingying, this is too much..."
Lu Ying gave a disgruntled snort, then bit his lower lip, "You promised..."
The buttons were mostly ripped open, and delicate, slender hands slipped inside, roaming and teasing the taut muscles.
"You have to listen to me."
The woman's voice was soft and alluring, and her misty eyes looked at him with a hooking gaze, making Xi Jun unable to catch his breath.
What could he do? He couldn't refuse.
The man's eyes glazed over, and he whispered in a hoarse voice, "Okay, I'll listen to you, I'll do whatever Yingying says..."
