"Baby, wait here, I'll open our love nest right now." Tang Guoqing smiled lewdly, taking Lin Yang's silence as consent.
Tang Guoqing turned his back and placed the room card on the sensor.
With a "beep," the door opened.
"Bang—" The sound of the door next door slamming shut rang out at the same time.
Tang Guoqing turned his head, but all that was left was a wisp of air; Lin Yang was nowhere to be seen.
The effects of the alcohol continued to take hold, and he stood there, still not having reacted.
"Ha..." Lin Yang pressed his forehead against the cold security door, panting heavily with nervousness over his smooth escape into the room.
Her hand was still on the doorknob, gripping it tightly, which gave her a sense of security.
"Who?" Lin Yang's heart was still hanging in suspense when a wary questioning voice came from the bathroom again.
The sound of the door closing just now was quite loud.
Lin Yang covered her mouth and tried to breathe as quietly as possible.
The sound of running water in the bathroom stopped, and soon after, the rustling sound of clothes being put on could be heard.
Lin Yang released the doorknob and looked around at the furnishings inside.
She is now standing in the entryway, with a shoe cabinet next to her, neatly displaying all kinds of shoes.
The first thing you see is a large, white bed, and a flat-screen TV is mounted on the wall.
I tiptoed inside, and the next thing I saw was a dark gray wardrobe with several suitcases next to it.
It looks like it was custom-made; it even has words engraved on it.
She wanted to get closer to see what was engraved on it.
"Bang bang bang—" Just as I took a step out, the urgent knocking on the door suddenly rang out.
"Open the door! Honey, open the door! Did you come to the wrong room? Come out!" It was Tang Guoqing knocking and shouting from outside.
I guess they've finally realized it now.
The rustling sounds in the bathroom quickened.
Lin Yang abandoned the idea of checking the situation inside the house, and didn't even bother to find a good place to hide.
Without saying a word, he immediately lay down and crawled under the bed.
"Baby~ Come out~ I'll treat you well~" The knocking on the door grew louder and louder.
"Click—" The lock on the bathroom door was unlocked, and the door was pulled open at the same time.
The sound of her slippers was heavier than usual because of the water in the bathroom.
Lin Yang lay on the floor under the bed, her field of vision narrowed, and all she could see were two slender ankles swaying back and forth until they reached the entrance.
"Click—" There was a frantic knocking on the door, but the owner of the room opened it unhurriedly.
"Bao—" Tang Guoqing thought the person who opened the door was Lin Yang, whose stubble-covered lips almost made him lose control.
Upon realizing that the person who opened the door was a man, the word "贝" (bei) was swallowed back. "How come it's you?"
"If this isn't my room, then whose is it?" He curled two fingers and tapped the room number hanging on the door, gesturing for Tang Guoqing to look.
That voice sounds familiar...
Lin Yang's face was pressed against the floor. She had only heard one word before, and she hadn't been able to tell who the owner of the room was.
Now, when he speaks a complete sentence, his voice is deep and magnetic, perfectly overlapping with the voice he had when we first met on the plane.
1303……
The guy living next door to her is Xu Chengzhi!
Damn, it's over.
He wouldn't even say a few words to her, and now that he's hiding here, can she really expect him to have a change of heart and save her?
Lin Yang, her heart pounding, continued eavesdropping.
"I don't care whose room this is, just hand over my treasure." Tang Guoqing was drunk, and his words reeked of alcohol.
Xu Chengzhi took a large step back, maintaining a safe distance, "Baby?"
"Lin Yang, I saw her sneak into your room with my own eyes. Mind your own business and hand her over, hiccup." Tang Guoqing slurred, then let out a drunken hiccup.
Xu Chengzhi took a big step back in disgust, covered his nose, and frowned. "Are you seeing things? Where did a second person come from in my room?"
Tang Guoqing clearly didn't believe it and tried to pry open the door to find out what was going on.
Xu Chengzhi stretched out his long legs, his toes touching the door, stopping Tang Guoqing's staggering attempt to barge into his room.
"Are you feeling guilty?" Tang Guoqing persisted, tilting his head back to peer inside.
The room was brightly lit by incandescent bulbs, but half of the light fell on the floor under the bed, while the other half concealed Lin Yang curled up in darkness.
For some reason, Lin Yang always felt a burning gaze fixed on the edge of the bed, wanting to look beyond the light and delve into the deeper darkness.
Her heart was beating a little fast, but her body was completely frozen and she dared not move.
She was afraid that even the slightest movement would arouse Tang Guoqing's suspicion outside the door.
"This isn't a place for you to go on a drunken rampage." Xu Chengzhi lost his patience and was too lazy to continue arguing with Tang Guoqing. He flicked his toe, and the door was about to close with the wind. "Get out."
He was extremely strong, and Tang Guoqing was so drunk that he had no strength left. The door was pushed open and closed easily again.
"Bang bang bang—" Tang Guoqing angrily pounded on the door, "Xu Chengzhi, don't think that just because you have the Xu family behind you, I won't dare to touch you!"
The sound of slippers tumbling rang out again. Xu Chengzhi ignored Tang Guoqing, who was furious at the door, and walked to the bedside on his own.
With her slender, fair ankles right in front of her, Lin Yang was so nervous she dared not breathe.
"Send a few people to help me deal with the drunkard at the door." Xu Chengzhi picked up the landline phone on the bedside table and made a call.
"Xu Chengzhi! Open the door! You dare to steal my woman! And you dare to tell me to get out! Do you not want to act anymore?!" Tang Guoqing was still cursing at the door.
Xu Chengzhi ignored it and picked up the hairdryer provided by the hotel to dry his half-dry hair.
A few minutes later, a commotion arose outside the door.
