Chapter 280 Staying Overnight
Yun Zhao stood at the door for a long time.
Ultimately, I couldn't resist the drowsiness, so I mustered up my courage, went over, and pushed open the bathroom door.
The bathroom is divided into wet and dry areas. A toothbrush and a mouthwash cup are placed on the clean countertop, and a towel hangs on the shelf next to the sink.
There was a laundry basket on the ground, and it was empty.
Yun Zhao looked around for a moment, then gently closed the door behind him, his gaze slowly wandering through the limited space.
His life seems quite simple.
Without excessive bottles and jars or complicated decorations, everything exudes simplicity and neatness.
She remembered something.
When the two of them arrived, neither of them thought to go to the warehouse to get some new toothbrushes and towels, so what would she use to wash up?
Yun Zhao's gaze fell on the cabinet under the washbasin.
She went over and opened the cabinet, hoping to find some new toiletries.
Sure enough, there were some spare daily necessities in the cabinet.
A brand new toothbrush, toothpaste, towel, shower gel, and... a box of black underwear?
Yun Zhao: "..."
The little bluebird was a bit confused, its eyes became hazy, and its figure suddenly disappeared from the bathroom, returning to the realm of consciousness.
Yun Zhao quickly took out a toothbrush and a towel, and hurriedly closed the cabinet door again.
I have a feeling that things are subtly spiraling out of control.
I really shouldn't have come tonight.
Alcohol is definitely not a good thing. If I had known that Xie Tu could drink even less than her, I shouldn't have let him drink.
He's such a good actor.
He was clearly very drunk, but still wanted to maintain the dignity of the captain in front of everyone.
Wait, it seems like she can drive now.
Why did she insist on having him drive her home? She could have driven back herself.
Yun Zhao's thoughts were in disarray.
The numbing effect of alcohol and the sluggishness caused by drowsiness brought out all sorts of random thoughts.
— "Knock knock".
There was a sudden knock on the bathroom door.
Yun Zhao was startled.
Xie Tu's voice came from outside the door.
"I've boiled some water for you. Come out and soak your feet before you go to sleep."
Xie Tu said, "I've made the bed, put the hot water bottle in the blankets, and brought two more blankets. If you're still cold, remember to call me."
Yun Zhao agreed, then asked, "Where do you sleep tonight?"
The man outside the door was silent for a moment, then said, "Sleep in the room across the hall."
His gym is right across the street, but he doesn't care; he can just sleep on a makeshift bed on the floor.
"However, I might need to take a shower."
There is only one bathroom in the house.
His five senses are severely impaired due to the mental barrier, but that doesn't mean he can't smell his own body odor.
That evening, the five of them drank three cases of beer.
He reeked of alcohol, which made his mind even more unclear.
Even so, he tried his best to stay awake and remembered to boil water for her.
Remembering what she had seen in the cabinet, Yun Zhao said somewhat flusteredly, "Then I'll hurry up."
"Um."
There was no sound from outside the door.
Fire Phoenix kept crashing into walls, and Xie Tu had already forcibly taken it back into his mental domain.
There is no heating upstairs, and the bathroom is very cold.
Yun Zhao finished washing up as quickly as possible, then opened the door and came out.
She had no change of clothes, and in her haste to come out, she left her coat in the bathroom, so she climbed into Xie Tu's bed wearing only her underwear.
His room, his bed.
There was a warm hot water bottle in the bed.
Yun Zhao crawled inside, curled up, and pressed himself tightly against the hot water bottle.
His room was laid out somewhat like a suite, with the bedroom being the only way to get in and out of the bathroom.
Yun Zhao reached out and pulled up the blanket, covering his entire face.
"I'm all done, you can go wash up now."
The muffled sound came from under the covers, but the sentry could hear it.
really.
Yun Zhao heard the half-closed room door open.
The man paused, seemingly hesitating at the door for a moment, before stepping back into the bathroom.
The sound of the door closing was heard, followed by the sound of the bathroom door opening and closing.
Yun Zhao didn't have the hearing of a sentry, and huddled under the covers, he couldn't hear anything coming from inside.
The bedroom fell silent instantly.
It was already 1 a.m.
Yun Zhao waited for a while, his will constantly being pulled by intense drowsiness.
My consciousness became hazy.
I don't know how much time passed.
The sudden sound of the door opening startled her awake.
Yun Zhao subconsciously turned over and lay on the bed, turning his head to look at the bathroom.
Xie Tu was standing there wearing only a white short-sleeved shirt and black trousers.
His hair was wet and hung down over his forehead, with a few strands clinging to his cheeks. His gaze was hazy, still carrying the lingering effects of alcohol.
It added a touch of languor to his usually stern face.
"Why didn't you soak your feet?" Xie Tu slowly walked towards the bed and noticed the untouched basin of water.
The hot water inside had long since cooled down.
Yun Zhao: "...I forgot."
He placed the basin on the other side of the bed, and she didn't see it at all.
In just a few breaths.
Xie Tu was already standing by the bed, his breath, tinged with the smell of alcohol, gently brushing against his head, his voice hoarse and tender with the effects of alcohol.
Are you cold?
Yun Zhao lay on the bed, her slightly disheveled hair scattered on the pillow, making her face appear even smaller and more delicate.
She only poked her head out and replied, "I'm not cold, you should go to sleep."
I reckon they'll both be late tomorrow.
She wasn't sure if Xie Tu could get up, but she was certain she couldn't.
"Hmm," Xie Tu responded, but didn't move.
Yun Zhao was really sleepy, and looked up at him with some confusion.
One person was lying down, and the other was standing.
From this angle, the orange light projected from the bathroom cast a soft halo around his face.
His high, straight nose cast a small shadow, and his eyes appeared exceptionally deep due to the effects of alcohol.
Those eyes were as deep as ink, as if they could draw you in.
Xie Tu's Adam's apple bobbed slightly.
This caught Yun Zhao's attention.
Her gaze somehow began to move downwards, settling on the collarbone exposed at the neckline of his short-sleeved shirt.
The lines are sharp yet sexy.
There was still some moisture left from the bathroom.
The atmosphere is evocative.
Xie Tu felt another wave of heat spreading throughout his body. He pressed his lips down slightly, trying to suppress the surging blood and qi.
This is his bed, and this is his blanket.
She's lying inside right now.
Sleep well, goodnight.
Xie Tu walked very quickly, turning off the bathroom light and leaving the room.
The door was closed.
The room was plunged into darkness after the light was cut off.
Yun Zhao, nestled in his blankets, belatedly realized what was happening.
Was he trying to seduce her just now?
＊
Morning.
After getting up, Qi Ling sat by the window in the attic, staring blankly at the heavy snow falling outside.
He vaguely remembered.
Winters in Chongqing weren't this cold before.
Even if it snows, it's just some snowflakes; it won't snow all winter long.
Qi Ling could no longer feel the temperature, so it didn't affect him much.
His gaze kept drifting toward the path leading to the valley.
It's already 10 a.m.
Captain Xie, who is usually stern and disciplined, has surprisingly not yet come out of his house.
Qi Ling leaned against the windowsill with a gossipy look on her face.
He saw with his own eyes last night that Guide Yun did not go back, but went to Captain Xie's house at the bottom of the valley.
A lone man and a lone woman spent an entire night together in a room...
The crucial point is that neither of them has come out yet!
