Chapter 228: Is This Your Home?
"Is there nobody at your house?" Lin Tian whispered while thinking to himself, "If no one’s there, maybe I can consider it."
After all, the soundproofing at cheap hotels isn’t great, and after a night’s sleep, you’d definitely wake up the next day with evident eye bags and dark circles.
Of course, the most unbearable part is the torment of tossing and turning all night because of the noise.
"Yes!"
"How can I go if there are people?" Lin Tian sweated.
"Anyway, I’m inviting you to my home, so there will definitely be a place for you to sleep!" Liou Qingcheng promised once again.
Normally, Liou Qingcheng would never be so bold to invite Lin Tian to sleep at her place.
But tonight, Liou Qingcheng was in an exceptionally good mood, plus after a bit of drinking, hearing Lin Tian had no place to stay softened her heart, making her want to take him home to sleep.
That’s all there is to it!
"Okay then, but what if your mom finds out?" Lin Tian still doubted.
"If you trust me, then come with me!" Liou Qingcheng cheerfully walked forward.
"At this point, I’ll just put my trust in you!" Lin Tian yawned and followed Liou Qingcheng.
The two took a taxi to Nanshan Villa. Sure enough, Lin Tian was surprised that Liou Qingcheng lived here.
"Wow, you live here?" Lin Tian asked in amazement as soon as they got out of the taxi.
"We moved in two weeks ago because our previous house is undergoing renovations, so for now, I’m staying here with my mom!" Liou Qingcheng explained in one sentence.
"Oh!"
Lin Tian acknowledged with a sound, estimating that Liou Qingcheng’s family background must be quite wealthy.
After all, properties in places like Nanshan Villa are not cheap.
All the way, Lin Tian followed behind Liou Qingcheng into Nanshan Villa until they stopped in front of a villa.
But just when they were about to go up the steps and enter, Liou Qingcheng suddenly stopped.
"What’s wrong?" Lin Tian, following behind, asked.
"Once inside, don’t speak and keep the noise down. Just do as I do, got it?" Liou Qingcheng whispered sneakily.
"Oh!" Lin Tian was completely puzzled.
Liou Qingcheng nodded and quickly crouched down, hugging her knees.
"Are you sick?"
Seeing Liou Qingcheng suddenly crouching down in front of him, Lin Tian took a while to react to what she was doing!
Liou Qingcheng glared angrily at Lin Tian: "What did I just say?"
"Oh~ I get it now!" Lin Tian mimicked her and crouched down.
"That’s more like it, don’t forget what I said!" Liou Qingcheng reminded again, heading to the front door.
She took off her high heels and stuffed them in her pocket, cautiously pulling out a key and inserting it into the keyhole.
"Actually, I have a question, not sure if I should ask!" Lin Tian’s face went black as he watched Liou Qingcheng acting like a thief.
"Quickly ask!" Liou Qingcheng mouthed the words without making a sound.
"Is this your house? Why do we feel like thieves?"
"Nonsense, do thieves have my house key?" Liou Qingcheng rolled her eyes at Lin Tian and pushed open the door, tiptoeing inside.
Lin Tian followed right behind, too afraid to make a sound.
After entering the house, Liou Qingcheng fumbled her way through the dark, and Lin Tian left his shoes at the door and followed.
"Qingcheng, is that you?" Suddenly, a light came on in one of the bedrooms, and a woman’s voice spoke.
"Mom, it’s me, I’m back!" Liou Qingcheng shouted, immediately waving a hand at Lin Tian to hurry.
One of them tiptoed ahead, and the other hunched behind until they reached Liou Qingcheng’s room. Once the door closed, Lin Tian sat on the floor gasping for air.
"This feels just like being a thief, doesn’t it?" Lin Tian remarked, "Is it always this hard for anyone to sleep over at your place?"
"If it weren’t for you, I always come home openly!" Liou Qingcheng turned on the light, pouting.
"So it’s my fault?" Lin Tian scratched his head, unable to see how it related to him.
"Alright~ it’s late, let’s go to sleep quickly!" Liou Qingcheng checked the time; it was unexpectedly already two in the morning.
"Let’s just sleep then~!" Lin Tian, also tired, took off his clothes, ready to lie in bed.
"Hey~ what are you doing?" Liou Qingcheng stopped him immediately.
"Didn’t you say to sleep?"
"I sleep on the bed, you sleep on the floor, we’re sleeping separately!" Liou Qingcheng pointed to the mat on the floor next to the bed.
"Alright, alright~!" At this point, Lin Tian couldn’t be bothered to dispute it; sleeping was fine by him.
Once Lin Tian lay down on the mat, Liou Qingcheng turned off the light.
After the light was off, Lin Tian heard rustling noises by his ear: "What are you doing if you’re not sleeping?"
"Taking off clothes!" Liou Qingcheng snapped back, "Cover your ears and go to sleep!"
"Oh!" Lin Tian turned his face up, resisting the urge to look at Liou Qingcheng’s bed.
"Ah~!" But soon, there was a cry from Liou Qingcheng.
"What was that~!" Lin Tian felt something hit his face, carrying a faint scent.
The light quickly switched on, and Lin Tian saw a lump of black lace fabric before it was swiftly grabbed away, and the light went off again.
"What was that just now?" Lin Tian asked half-awake and half-asleep.
"Go to sleep, you’re so annoying!" Liou Qingcheng, face red, stuffed the lace lingerie under her pillow.
She was embarrassed; she accidentally flung it too hard while undressing, and it landed right on his face.
Too tired, Lin Tian soon stopped caring about what hit his face and fell asleep.
"Qingcheng, open the door!" In the morning, as Liou Qingcheng and Lin Tian were still locked in dreams, there was a sharp knocking outside the room.
"Mom~ I’m still sleeping!" Liou Qingcheng’s head peeked out from under the summer quilt, lazily shouting.
Lin Tian turned over, pulling the quilt over his head to continue sleeping.
"Who are you sleeping with?" The gossiping voice outside the door piped up.
Liou Qingcheng instantly perked up upon hearing that, "Whoosh," she shot out from under the summer quilt and "whoosh" right back in.
Almost forgot she hadn’t dressed yet...
"Just me~!" Liou Qingcheng quickly dragged her clothes into the summer quilt, while grabbing the teddy bear beside the pillow and tossing it at Lin Tian.
"Are you going to let me sleep or not?" Lin Tian, woken up, yawned and asked.
The voice wasn’t loud but was just audible enough for the person outside, ears pressed against the door, to hear clearly.
"There’s a man inside?" The voice outside sounded surprised with a hint of delight.
"Lin Tian!" Liou Qingcheng, knowing the truth couldn’t be hidden anymore, was finally enraged, her shout echoing in the room.
Startled, Lin Tian got up, staring blankly at Liou Qingcheng.
"My mom’s outside, hurry up and get dressed!" Liou Qingcheng mouthed.
Lin Tian nodded, all traces of drowsiness gone. He hurriedly put on his clothes.
Just then, the gossipy voice sounded again from outside: "What are you two doing? Talk to me?"
