Chapter 143 - 144: Poised for Action (2)
Lou Xi’s words eased the entire ambiguous atmosphere. She pushed Qin Mobai away, pulled up the blanket to cover her body, and turned on the room’s light.
The blanket barely covered their bodies, with Qin Mobai’s well-built upper body exposed outside. His wheat-colored skin displayed a physique honed from years of exercise, very enticing, making one want to touch it.
The slight hints hidden beneath the blanket were the most blush-inducing places.
Lou Xi moved her gaze back to Qin Mobai’s face. She looked at Qin Mobai and asked, "About that time at the hotel, nothing really happened, right?"
"What do you think should have happened?" Qin Mobai’s body temperature gradually cooled down, no longer feeling the burning desire from before. Yet his gaze still lingered on Lou Xi.
"I thought—I really thought we did!" Lou Xi genuinely believed that night had turned her from a girl into a woman. But now Qin Mobai was telling her that nothing happened that night!
The gap between her expectations and the feeling of being deceived made Lou Xi feel like something was blocking her, causing discomfort.
"Besides the final step, what else did we not do?" Qin Mobai said lightly, noticing the change in Lou Xi’s emotions. Things didn’t seem to be going as he imagined.
"But, why did you never directly answer me when I asked if we did anything?"
"Isn’t it your own body? Don’t you know if we did anything?"
"Qin Mobai!" Lou Xi seemed genuinely angry. She met Qin Mobai’s suddenly dimmed gaze without any fear, "Do you think it’s fun to deceive me?"
"I think you’re being very irrational right now. Come find me when you’ve figured things out." Qin Mobai got out of bed, not avoiding Lou Xi, and naked, he left the room, closing the door heavily.
What did Qin Mobai mean by that? Did he still think she was wrong?
But that night, Lou Xi was drunk; she had no idea what happened. When she woke up the next morning, she felt sore all over. In the past, when reading novels, she saw that after a night, the female protagonist’s body would feel run over and sore. So she naturally assumed they did something.
Later, she subtly inquired about it from Qin Mobai, but he never directly responded!
In the end, just as they were about to do something, Qin Mobai told her they hadn’t done anything!
Lou Xi felt a sense of betrayal.
...
That night, Lou Xi bathed but did not go to find Qin Mobai in the study. The two just continued in stalemate like that.
The next morning, neither of them spoke, and afterwards, Lou Xi went to school while Qin Mobai went to Jia Sheng Group.
Lou Xi had no intention of attending classes, so she skipped with Bai Lu and went to Bai Lu’s dormitory at the school.
Since Lou Xi moved out, no new students had moved in.
"What’s wrong? You’ve been downcast." Bai Lu asked Lou Xi.
Lou Xi remained silent, skillfully found the beer she and Bai Lu had stored in the dorm, took it out, and opened it.
"Why are you drinking so early? Did something happen? Did you argue with the professor?" Bai Lu felt that the only thing affecting Lou Xi’s mood seemed to be Qin Mobai.
Or what else would make Lou Xi drink early in the morning?
"Lu Lu, Teacher said he and I didn’t do anything."
