She was wearing clothes, but this was winter. Even though the room was heated, she might still catch a cold if she slept like this..
Xia Shangzhou hesitated for a moment before finally stepping into the bedroom. He bent down, picked up the blanket on the floor, and gently covered Lin Jiayi with it.
However, just as he was about to get up after covering himself with the blanket, Lin Jiayi, who was sound asleep on the bed, suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, bringing his upper body before her without any warning.
Xia Shangzhou was taken aback by the sudden turn of events, and he watched as Lin Jiayi opened her eyes.
Her beautiful eyes were intoxicated, and he knew that she was drunk.
She gazed at him, and a soul-stirring smile suddenly blossomed on her beautiful lips. Then, as if she was looking at the person she had been longing for, she opened her mouth and said, “Qin Ting, you’re back…” Her voice was exceptionally gentle and pleasant, “Qin Ting, you’re back…”
Qin Ting? is that a person’s name?
Following Xia Shangzhou’s confusion, Lin Jiayi opened her mouth once more, her voice still as soft as ever, “Qin Ting, why have you only just returned? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time…”
So, his guess was correct. And this Qin Ting was the deceased lover she had mentioned?
As Xia Shangzhou thought about it, he suddenly felt a warm and gentle breath on his face.
He snapped back to his senses in shock, and he felt a shallow kiss on his cheek.
It was a kiss that was barely discernible, but there was an intense numbness to it. It traveled down his cheek and into every single vein in his body, all the way to the bottom of his heart.
Such an unfamiliar yet stimulating sensation caused his entire body to stiffen up. Following which, he realized that Lin Jiayi’s lips were moving closer to his.
Just as his lips were about to touch his, she spoke up once more, “Qin Ting…”
Those two words jolted Xia Shangzhou out of his reverie. Without any hesitation, he raised his hand and pulled Lin Jiayi’s hand away. Then, as if fleeing for his life, he bolted out of the door without even turning his head back.
Xia Shangzhou even forgot to take the elevator. He walked up the stairs from the thirty-plus floors to the first floor, and when he came out of the building, the cold winter morning breeze blew right at his face, causing him to shiver uncontrollably, only then did his mind gradually calm down.
His coat was left at Lin Jiayi’s house, but he didn’t dare to go upstairs to get it. Instead, he gritted his teeth and walked straight to the entrance of the residential area. Standing by the roadside, he stood there with his shivering body and waited for quite a while, only then did he hail a car to pick up Lin Jiayi’s car at the magnificent roadside.
By the time he drove the car back to the parking lot where Lin Jiayi lived and hailed a taxi back to school, it was already six o’clock in the morning.
Xia Shangzhou, who hadn’t slept a wink the entire night, lay on his bed, ready to go to sleep. However, he was even more energetic now.
He lay on the 1.2-meter wide bed, listening to Lu Benlai’s deep breathing beside him, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t fall asleep.
It was as if a spell had been cast on his mind, replaying the feeling of Lin Jiayi’s lips gently touching his cheek over and over again..
..
After everyone had left, Lin jiage called the waiter over to pay the bill, and he and Shi Yao walked out of Eldorado.
