Mom's Call

Her beautiful hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she nestled gracefully on her lover's lap; how could she not be pitied?

To men, a girl's hair is like an extension of her body; it's not so mysterious, yet equally soft and captivating.

Liu Chang'an lowered his hand and smiled.

An Nuan touched her hair, thankfully it didn't feel oily after a day of playing ball. She had washed it in the morning with a verbena and fruitwood shampoo, which had a light and refreshing scent.

"Why are you touching my hair?" An Nuan shook her head, her long hair swaying as she tidied her bangs. The most annoying thing in summer is that bangs get oily more easily than other parts of the face, turning into a thick, unsightly patch.

"Itchy hands."

An Nuan playfully slapped Liu Chang'an, then continued leading the way, slightly shy but not particularly nervous or uneasy. She simply wanted him to rest well at noon and also wanted to keep an eye on him so he wouldn't wander off. Otherwise, if she went to rest, he might not follow the homeroom teacher and could run off somewhere else, leading to him being late again in the afternoon... Let alone an eighteen-year-old boy, even a grown man can act like a child and be mischievous.

This is an experience An Nuan gained from romance novels.

An Nuan didn't tie her hair in a ponytail today; it was down, giving her a different vibe than usual. But she was more concerned about her bangs. "Do you think I look better without bangs or with bangs?"

"They all look good." That was the only answer, because they weren't actually asking for opinions. They just enjoyed fiddling with their bangs; they'd have them one moment and not the next, their aesthetic preferences changing all the time.

The hotel is not far from the exam venue; if it were too far, it wouldn't make sense. Hotel room prices in the surrounding area have gone up in the last couple of days. An Nuan's mother booked a business double room, which is about 35 square meters and spacious enough.

An Nuan was a little nervous holding the room key, but she relaxed a bit when she saw many examinees coming and going. At this moment, no one would look at her and Liu Chang'an with guessing eyes.

Once inside the room, her mood shifted again. After standing awkwardly for ten seconds, An Nuan found slippers, one pair for each of them.

"I'm charging my phone; it's dead." Liu Chang'an sat on the edge of the bed charging his phone. "Do you want to take a shower?"

"Ah?"

"Hey-hey."

An Nuan's cheeks felt hot, and she reached out and hit Liu Chang'an a few times. She found herself increasingly enjoying hitting Liu Chang'an for no reason. Of course, she wouldn't use much force, but she liked to do it when she found him annoying.

"I'll set an alarm and then take a nap. Math is in the afternoon, I need to concentrate... Honestly, why don't you take the math exam in the morning? My brain is obviously clearer then." An Nuan sat on her bed, muttering to herself, "Don't bother me, I'm not as good at math as you, and you need to rest too. Don't think you can just take it easy just because you're confident... The college entrance exam only happens once. Even if you're absolutely certain you'll get into the right school, how many points you get is still a test of your three years of hard work..."

Why are you talking so much nonsense?

An Nuan hit Liu Chang'an again.

Liu Chang'an lay down with his phone in his hand. An Nuan saw that he was holding his phone just like usual, and couldn't help but feel a little resentful. Compared to her own many inner monologues that she would blush and suppress as soon as she started thinking about them, how come this guy didn't show any of the nervousness, impulsiveness, happiness, excitement, or restlessness she felt when she was alone in a room with a super beautiful girl?

Logically speaking, if he liked her, wouldn't there be some ambiguous feeling between them being alone in a room like this for the first time? He should at least show some glances at her, and then pretend to turn his head away after she notices.

This is the normal behavior!

He was playing a game!

An Nuan glanced at Liu Chang'an's phone screen and saw that he was playing Pao Hu Zi!

Actually, the atmosphere in high schools is quite open now. Boys and girls hang out together, and no one is too reserved or particularly concerned about the separation of boys and girls. As friends, if you agree to rest together at noon, this calm and natural attitude is probably the normal thing to do.

An Nuan felt even more indignant as she thought about it. Could it be that the two of them had secretly developed more ambiguous scenes recently? What about the promise that day that she would feel the sweetness of tiptoeing? What about the heartbeats they watched each other when they parted? Was this all a joke?

Could it be that he's been getting along better with Bai Hui lately, and he's fallen for someone else?

Bah! If that's the case, then he never had any feelings for An Nuan at all, so how could he have transferred his affections?

An Nuan didn't want to sleep right now. Her original plan was to play around with Liu Chang'an for a while at noon before getting a proper rest. So An Nuan took off her coat, leaned against the headboard, stretched out one leg, and used her toes to pinch Liu Chang'an.

The distance between the two beds was less than half a meter, which had no effect on An Nuan, who Yu Chao long legs. She immediately clamped her legs around Liu Chang'an's calves and pulled hard! He slid out and couldn't hold on! She tried harder! Still couldn't hold on!

Liu Chang'an stretched out his foot and easily caught An Nuan's mischievous big toe with his two toes.

An Nuan struggled frantically, only to find that Liu Chang'an hadn't used much force, yet her big toe had been captured!

"Let me go!" An Nuan kicked me with both feet at once, waving her arms and legs wildly.

After Liu Chang'an finished playing a hand of cards, he reached out and pulled An Nuan into his arms.

Like a breeze passing over a lotus pond, the emerald leaves swayed and the flower branches swayed. After the wind passed, all the commotion gradually subsided, leaving only the ripples on the water's surface that had not yet fully conveyed their pulsating energy.

An Nuan's toes dared not exert any force. She clasped her hands to her chest, her eyelashes trembling. Surprised and embarrassed, she lowered her eyelids, tilted her head slightly, and gave a disgruntled hum, "What are you doing...?"

In this situation, boys usually kiss girls, right? Thinking about this made An Nuan a little nervous. Then... then booking a hotel room like this would be a completely different matter!

He must have thought that when they were both standing, it would be difficult for An Nuan to stand on tiptoe, but if they were both lying down, as long as he lay on top of her, he would still be looking down while she would be looking up, stretching her body, and throwing herself into his arms!

This is much more natural than one person standing on one step and another person standing on the next step!

"Go to sleep. If you keep making a fuss, I'm going to bully you." Liu Chang'an put An Nuan down and moved to another bed.

"Only I can bully you!" An Nuan blinked, thinking he was a saint, but it turns out he also knows how to bully others... Hehe, An Nuan touched her slightly warm cheeks and pressed her chest. This girl named An Nuan is really shameless and has no shame!

Liu Chang'an ignored her and continued playing his Pao Hu Zi. An Nuan turned her head to look at him, just like when they used to sit together, she could always see his familiar profile when she turned her head.

"Did you hear me?" An Nuan kicked him again, a hint of smugness in her voice.

"Fine, fine, only you can bully people." Liu Chang'an's tone was clearly perfunctory.

"Then I'll bully you even more." An Nuan pinched her toes again.

Liu Chang'an had just put down his phone, preparing to show her that there was no going back when An Nuan's phone rang.

"My mom!" An Nuan quickly shushed her.
