Qin Xuan carried Ye Zhizhou all the way back to the room without showing any signs of fatigue. After a beep, the door opened, and to avoid waking Ye Zhizhou from the bright light, he placed Ye Zhizhou on the bed by the dim light from outside.
Just as Ye Zhizhou lay down, she moved slightly, and Qin Xuan froze, thinking she had woken her up.
A moment later, Ye Zhizhou's breathing gradually calmed down. He relaxed his body, tucked her in, and was about to leave quietly when he opened the door. Guo Miao stood there with her arms crossed, looking at him.
"You like the small boat."
She used an affirmative tone.
Qin Xuan looked at Guo Miao, his eyes unfathomable. "Yes, is it any of your business?"
Guo Miao noticed the sudden hostility from the boy and chuckled, "It's Ye Qian who's worried about Xiao Zhou and sent me to take a look."
Qin Xuan withdrew her hostility and explained to Guo Miao, "She's asleep, don't go in and disturb her."
Watching Qin Xuan's departing figure, Guo Miao felt as if he had been shot in the knee. He had never been looked down upon by a mere child.
She took out her phone and sent a message to the culprit, Ye Qian.
[Guo Miao: Xiao Zhou went back to her room to sleep. Qin Xuan personally escorted her there. Don't worry, is he a doting brother?]
[Ye Qian: Qin Xuan personally escorted her back??? Did he lay a hand on my sister?!]
[Guo Miao: ...Are you sick? They were just kindly taking your sister back to her room, especially since they're both high school students.]
Ye Qian: He's after my sister, he definitely took advantage of her.
[Guo Miao: Talking to idiots will lower your intelligence. Goodbye.]
Ye Qian, who was getting his makeup done on set, had a contorted face. He had just sent a message when he discovered that Guo Miao had blocked him. The red exclamation mark made it clear to him that Guo Miao was angry.
But he wouldn't give up easily. He took his assistant's phone and insisted on sending the message.
When Guo Miao saw the message, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips, and he silently removed Ye Qian from the blacklist.
Anyway, it's not the first time, this is his second time.
After Qin Xuan carried Ye Zhizhou away, Lin Qiqi and Lu Qing soaked in the hot spring for a long time.
The private room was filled with their banter and banter in the game all night long.
Lin Qiqi: Hurry up and blow the zombie's head off!
Lu Qing: It's going to explode! Stop urging us, or we'll go crazy!
Lin Qiqi: I don't know if I'm stupid or not, I'm dead!
Lu Qing: ...One more round!
After a while.
Lu Qing: Help me! Help me! Help me!
Lin Qiqi: Your brother Lin is here, where are you?
Lu Qing: Right under your feet...
When the two returned to their room, it was nearly midnight. Lin Qiqi went back to her room, and afraid of waking Ye Zhizhou, she quickly washed up and went to bed.
The next morning, the sun rose late at the foot of the mountain. Ye Zhizhou opened his sleepy eyes, stared at the ceiling, and his mind went blank for a moment.
How did she get back yesterday? She doesn't remember at all.
She opened her phone; there were nearly twenty messages from her brother…
[Ye Qian: Xiao Zhou, don't soak in the hot spring for too long. Go back to sleep early.]
The previous messages were mostly filled with this kind of concern, so she scrolled down.
Upon seeing the last one, my face involuntarily flushed red.
[Ye Qian: Zhouzhou! Qin Xuan hugged you! I'm going to settle the score with Qin Xuan!]
These words sent a shiver down her spine, and she remembered everything.
How embarrassing! She actually fell asleep while soaking in the hot spring yesterday. Judging from her brother's excited expression, it seems that Qin Xuan really did carry her back to her room.
The thought of being hugged by the Great Demon King made her too afraid to leave her room.
"Xiao Zhou, why did you wake up? Go back to sleep a little longer."
Lin Qiqi vaguely saw Ye Zhizhou sit up. She looked at her watch and it was only eight o'clock. She usually slept until ten o'clock on weekends, let alone after playing games until so late yesterday.
Ye Zhizhou rushed over and knelt beside Lin Qiqi's bed. "Qiqi, was it Qin Xuan who took me back to my room last night?"
Lin Qiqi immediately perked up, "That's right, Boss Qin carried you back in a princess carry! I'm not gambling anymore, just give me the ten packs of spicy strips!"
Ye Zhizhou: ...
A knock suddenly sounded at the door, and Ye Zhizhou got up to open it.
"You're awake? Let's go have breakfast together."
Qin Xuan stood at the door, dressed neatly, his posture straight like a human clothes hanger; the white shirt suited him perfectly.
Ye Zhizhou slammed the door shut. The thought of being carried in Qin Xuan's arms made her breathless!
She took a few breaths, inwardly cursing herself for being so pathetic in front of the aloof young man.
After reflecting on it, she reopened the door, revealing a standard eight-tooth smile.
"Okay, I'll go wash up right away, wait for me."
Qin Xuan looked at the door that had been closed and then reopened, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Fifteen minutes later, the two appeared at the restaurant.
Lu Qing and Lin Qiqi both chose to stay in bed, enjoying a rare moment of peace and quiet.
To avoid embarrassment, she took a full plate of breakfast. The restaurant's breakfast was a buffet, and you could only take as much as you wanted.
"Can you finish it?" Qin Xuan asked, posing a probing question.
Ye Zhizhou glanced at her plate and compared the amount on Qin Xuan's plate to that on hers; hers was three times the size of Qin Xuan's...
"Do you always eat this little for breakfast?"
Qin Xuan nodded.
Ye Zhizhou quickly put a piece of millet cake on his plate, saying, "Eat this, it's delicious."
Qin Xuan did not refute, and silently accepted it.
"That's strange. You ate so much, so why did you feel so light when I carried you home last night?"
Ye Zhizhou: ...
Qin Xuan's words almost made her choke; he begged her not to bring up her dark past again!
"Maybe... I'm not absorbing it very well."
Ye Zhizhou offered a brief explanation.
Qin Xuan wanted to laugh when he saw her face turn completely red, but he held it back.
On the way back, Lin Qiqi and Lu Qing were still restless, bickering and teasing each other.
Ye Zhizhou opened his phone and pretended to read a novel, and Qin Xuan leaned closer.
"The CEO's Runaway Sweetheart"?
Ye Zhizhou felt as if the dimensional barrier had been broken when he read the unconventional CEO novel aloud in such a serious voice.
"No, I'm mistaken, it's not this one."
She was already tired of these typical CEO romance novels; she had just randomly scrolled to this one. She opened her bookmarks and clicked on another one, "After Transmigrating into the CEO's Father," and enthusiastically introduced it to Qin Xuan.
"This book defies conventions, it's incredibly good, want to read it? I'll recommend it to you!"
Qin Xuan said very seriously, "Isn't this just transmigrating into your grandfather? Your grandfather seems to have passed away a long time ago, so transmigrating into the CEO's father means a short life."
Ye Zhizhou: ...
It seems correct, but why does she always feel like something is wrong?
"So let's look at this one." Qin Xuan pointed to another book on the bestseller list.
Ye Zhizhou took a look at "Little Secret Love".
She usually only reads stories that defy tropes, finding them more interesting. She always automatically skips these sweet romance novels, never expecting Qin Xuan to like them. It seems even the most stoic straight men have pink hearts.
"This is too cutesy. I prefer something a little silly. I'm not happy if it's not silly."
Qin Xuan: ...
He did his best!
