Nan Yu suddenly opened her eyes.
As she did, she saw Qu Jiaran propping her chin with one hand, smiling at her. "Yu Yu, you're awake."
It was the same smile as usual, but Nan Yu felt a chill down her spine.
"I've been talking to you for a while, and you didn't respond at all. I thought you were asleep. I didn't expect you to like this topic. I was just too conservative."
Nan Yu paused for a short moment, then replied calmly, "No, I was really about to sleep."
"You haven't answered me yet," Qu Jiaran persisted. "Was it really good?"
There was only curiosity in her tone, as if she really wanted to get some "tips from a senior" from Nan Yu's mouth.
Nan Yu remained calm, saying flatly, "I've never slept with him. How would I know?"
While she was answering, Qu Jiaran stared into her eyes, as if trying to confirm the truth of her words.
Nan Yu wasn't afraid. She met Qu Jiaran's gaze.
Based on previous experience, Qu Jiaran might be deliberately trying to trick her into revealing the answer she wanted.
What she really wanted to ask might not be "Was it good?" but rather "Did you do it?"
After a moment, Qu Jiaran curled her lips and said with a smile, "Well, I thought you two had already done it. After all, you're under the same roof, a single man and a single woman..."
"Qu Jiaran, I don't like such jokes," Nan Yu frowned. "Please don't say such things again. They're so frivolous."
Seeing that Nan Yu was really angry, Qu Jiaran immediately shut up and apologized sheepishly, "Sorry, Yu Yu. I shouldn't have said that."
Nan Yu didn't say a word. She just turned over and faced away from Qu Jiaran, looking really angry.
But only Nan Yu herself knew that she could finally take a long breath of relief.
Just now, she was gambling that Qu Jiaran was up to her old tricks again.
Thankfully, she won the bet.
Seeing Nan Yu with her back turned, Qu Jiaran suddenly panicked. "Yu Yu, don't misunderstand. I'm not doubting you."
"I can't hear anything but doubt in your words," Nan Yu still didn't turn around. Her voice came over. "Let's stop here. I'm sleepy."
The more she said, the more mistakes she might make. She didn't want Qu Jiaran to pry into her secrets anymore.
Most importantly, she wasn't sure if she would fall into Qu Jiaran's language trap again.
She had to choose to remain silent.
"Hey, Yu Yu, you're just like Tan Linyuan," Qu Jiaran sighed, a bit helplessly. "You two are so serious. I was just joking."
Seeing that Nan Yu still didn't want to face her, Qu Jiaran continued talking to herself. "But it doesn't matter even if you two have slept together."
There was a smile in her voice, and her tone was sincere. "After all, one of you is my favorite man, and the other is my most important friend."
"Maybe you don't believe this, but my only wish in this life is for you two to always be with me."
After Qu Jiaran finished speaking, the room fell into silence.
A few seconds later, Nan Yu finally replied, "You're quite tolerant."
Qu Jiaran immediately showed a big smile. "Yu Yu, you're finally willing to talk to me! I knew you wouldn't stay mad at me for too long."
...
Maybe she was just too tired. Even with Qu Jiaran, a dangerous person, sleeping beside her, Nan Yu fell asleep without any defense.
In the middle of the night, she felt extremely hot and had difficulty breathing.
It was as if someone was pressing on her body and covering her mouth and nose.
Nan Yu struggled uncomfortably and finally opened her eyes.
In the darkness, someone was kissing her lips, forcefully slipping into her mouth and teasing her lips and tongue.
Nan Yu widened her eyes. Smelling that cold and clean scent like the snow on a high - mountain peak, she guessed who it was.
Her body was easily aroused. She changed from being passive to taking the initiative, and offered her soft tongue.
She had just woken up, and her mind was still a bit hazy.
But she was sure that the person in front of her was Tan Linyuan. So she didn't even need to think. It was all based on the physical connection between them.
"Tan..."
In the heat of passion, when she just let out a soft sound, the steady breathing of a third person suddenly came from her side. She immediately stiffened.
Qu Jiaran was still lying beside her!
The man was dissatisfied with her distraction. His voice turned cold. "Focus."
After he whispered, his big hand reached under the covers to take off her pajamas.
This man was crazy!
Nan Yu didn't dare to make any big movements. She tightly clamped Tan Linyuan's hand with her arm and shook her head in the darkness, showing her resistance all over.
In the darkness, Tan Linyuan let out a soft laugh. "Afraid of being discovered?"
... Of course!
Nan Yu was extremely nervous. She always felt that Qu Jiaran would turn on the light the next second and catch them red - handed.
If that happened, she might as well die.
Tan Linyuan gave in to her and didn't make things difficult for her anymore. He just leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Then let's continue in another room."
A few seconds later, the man's presence faded away.
Nan Yu lay in bed. She wanted to pretend she didn't hear, but she was really worried that Tan Linyuan would "go back". So she had to gently lift the covers.
Before leaving, she double - checked that Qu Jiaran was still asleep.
She let out a long breath.
As soon as she walked out of the room, her arm was grabbed. The man opened a door.
With a bang, the door was closed, and Nan Yu's back was pressed against the door.
The room was empty, but judging from the suitcase on the floor and the rose petals scattered on the bed, it should be Qu Jiaran and Tan Linyuan's room.
The room wasn't lit. Only scented candles were flickering.
While being kissed by Tan Linyuan, Nan Yu even had the thought that Qu Jiaran was really quite romantic.
If it were her, she would never think of such things.
Tan Linyuan's hand supported her waist. As the kiss deepened, his fingers slid to her thigh and pressed hard.
"How could you just enter my room?" Nan Yu's mind was a bit muddled, but she still asked the crucial question.
"This hotel is mine," Tan Linyuan's voice was deep. "Do you have any other questions?"
Oh, he must have gotten a spare key card from the front desk... So there was no problem then.
Otherwise, she would really doubt the safety of this hotel.
"Do you know that in your hotel... um..."
Nan Yu gave a reasonable suggestion during the intervals of his kisses. "The soundproofing is really poor."
"How poor?" he asked her, and his fingers checked the place he had been so "diligently working on".
It was already wet and slippery.
"Take it off," his lips touched her earlobe. "Let me check for myself how poor the soundproofing is."
Their words faded away, leaving only the sounds of lips and tongues intertwined and other wet noises.
—
On the bed just now.
Qu Jiaran slowly opened her eyes, and a smile slowly appeared on her face.
She murmured to herself in the darkness, "What a pity. I wasn't even asleep yet."
