Gu Nianzhi could feel the weight of the five minutes of silence she endured inside the car. She was so shocked, she almost trembled when Huo Shaoheng suddenly spoke. Huo Shaoheng noticed the obvious act of fear, and it also meant something different to him. He silently turned away to look out the window. “Go shower first.” His temple was slightly swollen, and the angle of his chin was particularly square. He had used a commanding tone that came naturally from a domineering person.
Pouting, she glanced at Huo Shaoheng from the corner of her eye to mentally chastise him. Huo Shaoheng happened to turn around to see her side eye and naturally alluring looks, and his entire body instantly stiffened. Stroking her cheek with his large hand, he gently pressed down the corners of her eyes down to relax her gaze. Letting go, he looked away to the front and said quietly, “Get out.”
Gu Nianzhu wanted to quickly push the door open and rush out so she could slam the door hard in Huo Shaoheng’s face. She was sure he would have a priceless expression… But unfortunately, she only dared to imagine it. Huo Shaoheng’s pitch-black eyes swept over her, and he didn’t have to say anything for her to lose all bravado. Gu Nianzhi shifted her gaze and had her hand on the door to open it when she saw Ma Qiqi dressed up nicely and wearing a coral Phillip Lim 3.1 backpack. She was walking over to the elegant older male student with a smile, and they headed towards the little tree-lined path. Ma Qiqi was gone already? Gu Nianzhi’s heart thumped, and she looked back at Huo Shaoheng to whisper, “Huo Shao, do you want to go have a seat in my dorm? It’s going to take me some time to shower…”
Huo Shaoheng didn’t look at her but kept his eyes straight ahead at the windshield. His voice was very stern. “No, your roommate is there. That’s inconvenient.”
“Qiqi just left. She went out with someone…” Gu Nianzhi murmured, “I’m alone.” She finished the sentence and pushed the door open to leave. Huo Shaoheng considered it, then turned off the ignition and removed the car key before also getting out of the car. He had already locked the briefcase in the trunk. They stepped into the dorm elevator one after another. They watched the number in the elevator rise, just like their throats swallowing words nervously down. Before they knew it, they had arrived.
When the elevators opened, Gu Nianzhi glanced at Huo Shaoheng, and they walked out together. This wasn’t the first time Huo Shaoheng had come to Gu Nianzhi’s dorm, but because it was an afternoon on the weekend, there were barely any people in the hallways. They quietly walked through the hallway and quickly entered Gu Nianzhi and Ma Qiqi’s dorm. The living room was tidied up neatly, and the door to Ma Qiqi’s room was ajar. With one look they could tell it was empty, and it was evidence of how hastily she had left without even remembering to lock the door. Huo Shaoheng’s sharp eyes swept over Ma Qiqi’s side like he was determining if anyone was inside the room. Gu Nianzhi noticed it and held back a giggle. “She really did leave. One of our older classmates is pursuing her, and I saw them walk towards the south entrance.”
Huo Shaoheng looked away and closed the door to the hallway before they walked into Gu Nianzhi’s room together. Gu Nianzhi closed the door and took out a bottle of spring water from the mini-fridge. “Huo Shao, you can have a seat, and I’ll be ready soon.” She went to the closet to get a change of clothes and was about to turn to the bathroom when the room suddenly dimmed. Turning back, she saw Huo Shaoheng already standing in front of the window and closing the drapes. Biting her lower lip, Gu Nianzhi’s heart hammered wildly. She understood what Huo Shaoheng was implying, and she also wanted it a bit, too, but this was her dorm, so she felt a little shy…
Huo Shaoheng closed the drapes but didn’t do anything else. Standing before the window with his arms crossed, the long drapes in front of the French windows trembled slightly from his movements. Gu Nianzhi finally noticed that Huo Shaoheng was wearing casual clothes including a well-fitting white shirt with sleeves rolled up to his elbow paired with pants and a fine quality calfskin belt. It accentuated his incredibly long legs. Gu Nianzhi found her face getting a bit hot. She had never been able to resist Huo Shaoheng’s handsomeness… Quickly averting her eyes, she dashed into the bathroom with a bundle of clothes.
Huo Shaoheng didn’t even look at her but was observing the entire room. He had last come here when the semester first began, and he had helped her change her mattress as well as get some supplies. Looking at the dorm room after a few months had passed, it was no longer empty like before. The sound of splattering water could be heard from the bathroom, and he finally looked in that direction. She was showering inside… Huo Shaoheng swallowed but maintained a stiff posture and recalled the purpose of today’s visit. He had originally brought the information over to let Gu Nianzhi see it, so she could feel reassured, but he had ended up running into her playing tennis with He Zhichu. Although they weren’t alone because Ma Qiqi there as well, and he also knew nothing would happen, even if they were alone together, he still changed his mind from earlier. Remembering Gu Nianzhi’s smiling face, hot and cold behavior, and little tantrums, Huo Shaoheng sighed heavily in his mind. She was truly just a child. It was the first time he felt what he was doing was very beastly…
…
Gu Nianzhi finished showering in 15 minutes and came out with her hair still wet. She used a large towel to dry her hair as she walked out of the bathroom and saw that Huo Shaoheng was still standing still in front of the window. “Huo Shao, sit down. Why are you standing?” Gu Nianzhi pointed to a round, plush chair by the window.
Huo Shaoheng looked down at her ivory skin that was so tender and soft. Because she happened to come right out of the bathroom, her skin looked even more plump, like a ripe lychee. The heat rose in his abdomen, but he controlled himself. He was already very beastly and couldn’t continue indulging. “Are you done getting ready now? Let’s go if you’re done, so you’re not making your Professor He wait too long.” Huo Shaoheng’s hand itched for a cigarette, but this was Gu Nianzhi’s dorm, so he couldn’t smoke.
Gu Nianzhi nodded. “We’ll go after I dry my hair.” She sat down at the vanity in front of the window and used the blow dryer on her hair. Huo Shaoheng was standing right beside the vanity and glanced at her from the corners of his eyes for a bit. He quickly appeared behind her to hug her from the back. Scorching kisses fell on her neck, and he sucked very hard. He carried a unique masculine scent that intoxicated her and made her weak in the knees. Gu Nianzhi struggled desperately. “Don’t kiss my neck… It’ll leave marks…”
“Ok.” Huo Shaoheng replied fluidly as he yanked apart her clothes to kiss her shoulder blades. Gu Nianzhi not only had weak knees but also couldn’t balance anymore. However, Huo Shaoheng let go of her after she struggled for only a little bit. He fixed her clothes and did up all the buttons. Gu Nianzhi looked down at Huo Shaoheng’s slim and long fingers moving around her chest. She was secretly frustrated he wasn’t continuing things. How long had it been since they were last intimate? Men had certain needs, and as Huo Shaoheng’s official girlfriend, Gu Niaznhi didn’t want to see him hold himself back. Reaching out, she gently caressed Huo Shaoheng’s exposed collarbones, “Huo Shao, you look so good in this white dress shirt…”
Swallowing hard, Huo Shaoheng almost couldn’t stop himself from taking her right there and then. But he controlled himself and grabbed Gu Nianzhi’s seductive hand with a gentle smile. “Don’t fuss, aren’t you hungry?”
As soon as he spoke, Gu Nianzhi’s stomach growled as if on cue, and the sound was especially loud in the quiet dorm. All the previous lust was dispelled. Gu Nianzhi cursed her body for not being able to withstand hunger. How silly! Why did it have to growl!?
Seeing Gu Nianzhi’s embittered expression, Huo Shaoheng was extremely flattered. Bending over, he whispered in her ear, “I’ll feed your stomach first, then take you back to my apartment and feed you right here…” Huo Shaoheng’s hand drifted around her body, moving down from her stomach and stopping for an instant. Gu Nianzhi had thought she was already familiar with it all but still blushed innocently from Huo Shaoheng’s teasing. She squeezed his shoulders tightly, her body so stiff it was like she was sitting on his hand…
