The Self-Torture Scheme
When the two reached the top of the mountain, Li Mi and others had already been there for a long time. Seeing them, Dong Yuan quickly invited them over to eat melons.
Dong Yuan used all his strength to carry a melon up on his back, but the melon was not big and there were so many people on the trip that each person could only get a small piece.
Li Mantao was half dead. Standing on the top of the mountain, biting a piece of watermelon that seemed particularly sweet, he was still a little dazed.
He actually managed to climb up.
Li Mantao laughed while eating, feeling extremely relaxed and having a sense of grandeur as if he was looking down on all the other mountains.
Li Mi tiptoed up to him and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Does it feel good?"
"Yes, it's not bad."
"Then...what about you and Rongyi? Are you still quarreling?" Li Mi asked cautiously.
Li Mantao was in a good mood. Upon hearing this, his lips curled slightly. "Senior, I remember you weren't a Rong Yi hater before. I had a fight with him, but you didn't stand on the same side as me, an old friend, and instead went to help Rong Yi. What's going on?"
His tone was relaxed, not like he was really angry, but Li Mi still felt guilty listening to it. She suspected that Li Mantao knew that she was a fan of Rong Yi in the past. She laughed dryly and said, "It's because I can't bear to see such good friends like you break up."
Fortunately, they are friends. Rong Yi is just greedy for his body.
But Li Mi had helped him a lot after all, so Li Mantao stopped teasing her and casually chatted about her and Dong Yuan.
After a short rest, everyone set off for the booked hotel. They would spend the night on the top of the mountain and wait to watch the sunrise tomorrow.
After arriving at the hotel, Li Mi checked in, handed Li Mantao a room card, and told him to go and rest first.
Li Mantao didn't think much about it and looked for the room number according to the room card. He opened the door and found that something was wrong.
They should have booked five four-person rooms, three for the girls and the remaining two for the ten boys, with five boys squeezing into one room. However, when Li Mantao looked at the furnishings in the room, a question mark popped up in his mind.
How come this is a double room?
He called Li Mi, but the other party didn't answer the phone until a while later.
"Did you get the room wrong? This isn't a quadruple room."
"You're right, Rong Yi ordered this for you." Li Mi's voice was noisy, "Do you want instant noodles or self-heating hot pot tonight? If you want, come and choose. If you don't want, go out and buy it yourself."
She gave a room number and hung up.
Li Mantao stood in the room and sighed deeply.
Instead of looking for Li Mi, he sent a message to Rong Yi, asking where Rong Yi was.
Rong Yi quickly sent the room number and asked him what was the matter. Li Mantao was too lazy to send a message and went straight to the room number.
Rong Yi and the others' rooms were just one floor below Li Mantao's room. Li Mantao knocked on the door and Dong Yuan came over to open it.
Li Mantao walked into the room and saw Rong Yi standing by the bed, packing her things. Four beds were pushed together, and it looked like they were preparing to squeeze in together.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Rong Yi turned around and saw Li Mantao standing behind him, staring at the modified bed.
"Rong Yi, come out for a moment. I have something to tell you."
Rong Yi put down her things and followed Li Mantao out.
"Manman, what's wrong? Is the room not good?"
Li Mantao rarely stayed in hotels and couldn't tell whether the conditions of his room were good or bad, but it was obvious that compared with the quadruple room, the single room was considered top-notch.
Rong Yi continued, "The hotel conditions on the top of the mountain are average. That room is already the best. Manman, please be patient."
Li Mantao couldn't help but ask, "Am I so delicate in your heart?"
Rong Yi paused, looking somewhat bewildered. Li Mantao pursed his lips, realizing he had spoken too harshly. "That's not what I meant... Anyway, you can stay in that room by yourself. I also live in a four-person room at school, so it doesn't make sense that I can't stay here now. There are places to sleep on the floor outside."
He handed the room card to Rongyi, but Rongyi didn't take it.
"It's not that I think you're spoiled." Rong Yi said slowly, "I also have selfish motives."
Li Mantao was stunned for a moment, "What selfish motive?"
Rong Yi glanced at him, then lowered her eyes, "I don't want you to sleep with other men."
“???”
Rong Yi's voice was clear, but Li Mantao suspected he had misheard. "What did you say?"
Rong Yi repeated the words again and added, "Manman looks very cute when she's asleep. I don't want other men to see her."
Li Mantao thought he was mentally ill.
"All three of them have girlfriends, okay?" Li Mantao endured it again and again, "Are you crazy?"
After saying that, he didn't even give me the room card and ran upstairs.
After returning to the room, Li Mantao opened a bottle of water and gulped down half of it. It seemed as if Rong Yi, with his sincere and shameless face, was still in front of him.
He discovered that Rong Yi was actually very good at taking advantage of others. He played a pitiful game while climbing the mountain, and when he found that his attitude had softened, he started again. Moreover, Rong Yi's words became more and more outrageous after he came out, as if the whole world coveted him. He was judging others by his own standards!
Later, Li Mantao went downstairs to get a bucket of noodles to eat. He passed by Rong Yi's room and was caught by Dong Yuan. The boys were crowded in the room playing Werewolf. Li Mantao had never played it before and didn't quite understand the rules. He held the instant noodles and prepared to go upstairs to rest after finishing the noodles.
Li Mantao picked a random bench and sat down. After taking a few bites of instant noodles, he suddenly smelled a strange stench. The smell was faint and gradually became stronger, threatening to overwhelm the taste of the instant noodles.
He frowned and looked around for the source of the smell, finally settling on a pair of feet.
The owner of the foot was a member of their club named Zhang Hong. Li Mantao was sitting next to Zhang Hong. He could see Zhang Hong rubbing the sole of his left foot with his right toenails. It seemed to be itchy, and the stench became stronger as he rubbed.
Li Mantao: “…”
Instant noodles don’t smell good anymore!
His face was grim as he stood up, covered the instant noodles, and decided to go back upstairs.
After finishing his dinner in the quiet single room, Li Mantao checked the time, took out a tablet from his bag and started drawing. This trip would cost a lot of money, so he decided to do more work.
It was almost ten o'clock when Li Mantao finished painting. He took a shower and prepared to go to bed when he suddenly received a message on his phone from Dong Yuan.
[Dong Yuan: Taotao, your brother-in-law really envies you for living in a large studio. You don't know how Zhang Hong's feet stink, it makes me want to throw up. And Zeng Jun, not only is he heavy, but he snores so loudly that I won't be able to sleep tonight. Crying.jpg]
Dong Yuan: So, can I ask for permission to squeeze into your room? I'm fine with sleeping on the sofa!
The smell seemed to begin to linger at the tip of his nose again. Li Mantao wrinkled his nose and turned away.
[Dong Yuan: Rong Yi had a hard time too, sleeping between the two of them, haha. Luckily I was quick and slept next to them, so it wasn't the worst.]
Dong Yuan also posted a photo showing Rong Yi lying on the bed with a peaceful expression, being attacked from both sides.
“…………”
This is a scheme of self-torture!
Li Mantao was silent for a long time and sent a message to Rong Yi.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Li Mantao went to open it and said, "Come in."
Rong Yi stood at the door without moving, "Manman, what's going on?"
Li Mantao glanced at him and said, "You asked Dong Yuan to send me a message, right?"
Rong Yi was surprised and asked, "What news?"
Seeing that he didn't look like he was pretending, Li Mantao didn't say anything more and pulled him into the room. "What are you doing standing at the door? Come in."
"Have you taken a shower?" Li Mantao asked again.
"I have washed it."
Li Mantao pointed towards the bathroom and said, "Wash again. Don't let Zhang Hong's foot odor marinate on you."
Rong Yi hesitated and didn't move, "Why?"
"You sleep downstairs, don't you think it's smelly and noisy?"
Seeing Rong Yi didn't say anything, Li Mantao hummed softly, "I'll let you sleep in the same room with me. Do you understand?"
Rong Yi was stunned. "You... aren't you afraid of me?"
"Will you touch me again without my permission?"
"No, I won't."
"That's all." Li Mantao lay down on the bed and urged, "Hurry up and take a shower."
Rong Yi went to take a shower as if he was sleepwalking.
He really didn't tell Dong Yuan to do anything. Li Mantao was very cautious and needed to proceed slowly. However, he didn't expect that Manman would allow him to sleep in this room.
Does this mean...
Through the bathroom door, Li Mantao was also regretting in his heart why he was so soft-hearted. It seemed that he couldn't help but give in as soon as Rong Yi showed a vulnerable look.
He is indeed too kind.
Downstairs, Dong Yuan, who was enduring the noise and stench, sneezed suddenly.
"Shit, someone scolded me?"
He rubbed his nose, smelled the scent at the tip of his nose, and quickly covered his head with the quilt.
Rong Yi took a long bath, and Li Mantao was almost sleepy waiting for him. When he saw him come out, he forced himself to stay awake, moved to the sofa beside him, and said to Rong Yi, "Go to bed."
Rong Yi paused while wiping his hair, "Why... Manman, are you still afraid of me?"
"Someone wants to fuck my ass, and I can't be afraid?" Li Mantao rolled his eyes unsuccessfully, his voice drowsy. "Just sleep if I tell you to. Don't bother me. I have to get up early tomorrow. Also, don't touch me, I know, or I won't forgive you."
After saying that, he curled up and fell asleep on the sofa.
I had exerted too much physical energy today and had been concentrating on painting for a long time. I was so tired that I fell asleep almost as soon as I closed my eyes.
Rong Yi stood there in silence, looking at his beloved sleeping peacefully, not knowing what to feel.
I don’t know whether to say that Li Mantao was careless or trusted him too much, he actually fell asleep like this.
Rong Yi stared for a long moment before sighing deeply and gently lifting the person from the sofa and carrying them to the bed. Li Mantao was truly exhausted, completely oblivious to his change of position, from the sofa to Rong Yi's arms, and then to the bed. As soon as he touched the soft surface, he automatically slid under the covers.
Rong Yi tucked the quilt in for him, turned up the air conditioner temperature, and sat on the sofa.
The next day, before dawn, Li Mantao was awakened by the vibration of his cell phone. He turned off the alarm clock, turned on the desk lamp, and turned around to see Rong Yi curled up on the sofa.
