A crescent moon hangs on the treetop, supported by the horizontal branches, sketching a shadowy black ink painting on the ground.
The car, bathed in soft light, turned a corner on the mountain road and slowly drove into the detached villa nestled halfway up the mountain.
The driver left sometime ago.
The underground parking garage was brightly lit, and the dark privacy glass blocked most of the light, yet Nan Qing still felt exposed and helpless.
Nan Qing discovered for the first time that the experience of actively browsing online for men with abs was completely different from the experience of actually doing it herself.
Nan Qing regretted that she shouldn't have been lusting after beautiful women, but now it was too late for regrets.
2 AM.
In the grand master bedroom of the hillside villa, Nan Qing sat on the bed wrapped in a white quilt, a small corner of the white quilt peeking out from behind her head, staring at the man in front of her with a look of embarrassment and annoyance.
Nan Qing condescended and touched her cheek.
Huo Yuzhou leaned down, but before his thin lips could touch Nan Qing's face, they were covered by a Ruanruan, white hand.
Huo Yuzhou--
Nan Qing threatened him in a low voice, like a kitten with its fur standing on end.
Huo Yuzhou somewhat innocent. "I thought you wanted me to kiss you."
Nan Qing was annoyed, but her cheeks suddenly turned red, the blush spreading from both sides down to her neck.
Even though they were the only two people in the room, Nan Qing deliberately lowered her voice, as if she were saying something shameful.
I hate you!
Huo Yuzhou eyes shimmered with light as he once again expertly assured him.
"I'm sorry, I'll definitely be more careful next time."
"Next time?"
"You want a next time?"
Nan Qing looked shocked, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, her long, thick eyelashes fluttering, and she angrily said:
"Don't even think about it, Huo Yuzhou. You have no credibility with me anymore!"
Seeing that Huo Yuzhou was about to speak again, Nan Qing quickly interrupted him once more.
"Shut up, don't say a word, not a single one of it is something I want to hear!"
He grabbed the blanket he had wrapped himself in, rolled onto the bed, and covered his face. A soft voice came from under the blanket, tinged with a mixture of embarrassment and anger.
I'm going to sleep.
The tall man beside the bed smiled and turned off the small bedside lamp for him.
A tender voice echoed in the dimly lit room as she gently coaxed him.
"Sweet dreams, honey."
Nan Qing, hidden under the covers, pretended not to hear.
The next instant, he heard a familiar voice, tinged with a dark pleasure.
[That felt great.]
-
The next day, Nan Qing woke up at noon.
He was wearing white silk pajamas, and his hair was messed up from sleeping.
As she got up, the layers of blankets slid down to her waist, piling up to reveal her two slender wrists.
Nan Qing subconsciously wanted to yawn, but the moment her hand touched her mouth, a certain scene suddenly flashed into her mind, and Nan Qing instantly shook off her hand with disgust.
The door creaked open from the outside.
Nan Qing pretended nothing was wrong, calmly kicked off the covers and got out of bed, not even glancing at Huo Yuzhou, and swung her legs to wash up.
Huo Yuzhou wasn't wearing a suit today; instead, he was dressed in casual black sportswear. The loose cut made him look much younger, and his half-raised eyebrows conveyed a satisfied look, making him appear both handsome and wicked.
Huo Yuzhou followed him, leaned against the doorway, looked at him, and called his name.
" My Qingqing."
Nan Qing stared intently at her reflection in the mirror, her mouth full of foam, and reluctantly hummed in agreement.
The man leaning against the door crossed his arms and smiled at him.
" Qingqing, are you angry with me?"
Nan Qing spat out the foam from her mouth, turned slightly, and looked up at him with her pretty face.
"What a joke! Who's angry? Why would I be angry?"
Nan Qing was indeed very angry.
But then he remembered the scumbag quotes from Teacher Da Lian, so he pretended not to be angry and glared at him fiercely.
What?
"You're not asking me to take responsibility, are you?"
Huo Yuzhou raised an eyebrow in surprise, seemingly not understanding.
"We're all men, why should we be responsible for such a small thing?"
Nan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, deeply agreeing with his words.
That's the right way to think!
Huo Yuzhou appeared very magnanimous, his handsome and refined face bearing a faint smile, and his voice exceptionally calm.
"I'm sorry, Qingqing, I didn't know you cared so much."
"But actually, this kind of thing is quite common among boys. When I was a freshman, I lived in a dorm and two of my roommates helped each other out, but they didn't date."
Nan Qing paused in her brushing, her eyes lighting up.
"Real?"
In his previous life, he had a nanny to take care of him, and he never lived in a dormitory.
In this life, Qin Mubai kept a close eye on him, knowing that he was always swaggering around and afraid that he would be bullied by others outside, so he bought him a small apartment near the school.
In both his lifetimes combined, he had never had the experience of living with other people.
The less he had, the more curious he became. He would sometimes envy the close relationships between others, while he himself didn't have a single truly close friend.
So when Huo Yuzhou spoke, his previously suppressed curiosity resurfaced, like that of a bewildered child who becomes more curious the more others try to conceal things, wanting to understand.
"You..."
As Nan Qing turned on the tap to wash her face, she organized her thoughts and began to speak again.
Do you and your other friends do this too?
