To avoid driving while fatigued, Chen Liuyue and Wei Miao decided to spend the night in the county town first.
County Town Hotel.
The conditions here weren't as good as in big cities, and there were no international chain hotel brands.
There was only a local four-star hotel.
Wei Miao walked to the front desk, tapped the countertop with his slender fingers, and said politely, "Hello, we'd like two rooms."
The receptionist, her head bowed, wore the exhaustion of a weary worker.
Glancing at the number of available rooms on the computer, she looked up and said,
"Sorry, we only have one room left today."
"Do you want it?"
Just as Wei Miao was hesitating, a slender, fair hand reached out from behind him.
A faint fragrance lingered around his nose as Chen Liuyue peeked her head out, her voice crisp and sweet:
"Then we'll take the one room, thank you."
"Here, the key card." The receptionist handed the card to Liuyue.
Seeing Wei Miao still standing there dazed, Chen Liuyue raised her hand and gently patted his shoulder, saying,
"Let's go. What are you standing around for?"
"Oh, oh..." Wei Miao quickly followed her toward the elevator.
He just felt somewhat at a loss.
Flustered, he said, "Um, I'll sleep on the floor tonight."
Chen Liuyue's steps halted.
The next moment, it was Wei Miao's turn to bump into her back.
However, Wei Miao was a tall guy at 185cm, so even when he bumped into her, it was only Liuyue's head that collided with his chest.
Their posture was intimate, like a sweet, clingy young couple very much in love.
Wei Miao said nervously, "I didn't do it on purpose."
Chen Liuyue, however, calmly raised her hand, touched his chest, and said with a smile,
"Brother Wei, what are you so nervous about?"
"I'm not going to eat you."
Whoosh—
Wei Miao's face instantly flushed crimson.
"Brother Wei, do I need to remind you that we are boyfriend and girlfriend?"
A mischievous smile appeared at the corner of Chen Liuyue's lips. She rose on her tiptoes, the warm breath from her lips brushing past the tip of his ear.
"Sharing a bed."
"It's perfectly legal."
The tips of Wei Miao's ears turned so red they seemed about to drip blood.
The elevator door opened.
Chen Liuyue, in her little black leather shoes, stepped in first, with Wei Miao closely following.
She pressed the floor button.
Sixth floor.
The ride from the first to the sixth floor took about fifteen seconds.
There were only the two of them in the elevator. The light cast a warm, yellowish glow, like a thin veil.
It tinted the narrow space with an ambiguous, hazy atmosphere.
The metal walls reflected their intertwined figures. As the floor numbers slowly changed, the atmosphere grew increasingly heated.
Chen Liuyue tilted her head slightly, looking up at the elevator ceiling.
Wei Miao asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Chen Liuyue, with an air of expertise, pointed to the black surveillance camera on the ceiling and said,
"In small hotels like these in county towns, the cameras are usually just for show. They've probably been broken for a long time."
Wei Miao nodded with a look of having learned something new. "Oh."
The next moment, he noticed Liuyue's beautiful almond-shaped eyes slightly upturned, a hint of mischief swirling within them.
Her little black leather shoe took a step forward.
Her posture was light yet carried an undeniable force.
Step by step, she pressed forward, backing Wei Miao little by little into the corner.
His back already touched the cool metal surface.
His hands instinctively braced behind him, his body slightly tense, his throat tight with nervousness, his lips parting.
"Yueyue, I..."
"Shh—"
Liuyue's hair swayed gently with her movement, brushing against his cheek, carrying a faint scent.
Her slender, fair fingertip came to rest between Wei Miao's lips.
Chen Liuyue smiled like a seductive enchantress.
Slowly, she uttered two words from her mouth:
"Kiss me."
Wei Miao's Adam's apple bobbed, his breathing growing heavier.
The next moment, a scorching hand wrapped around Liuyue's slender waist. In an instant, the world spun as he turned the tables, pressing her against the elevator wall instead.
A searing, forceful kiss descended like a storm.
As their lips and tongues met, his kiss carried a domineering, intensely possessive quality.
As if he wanted to melt her completely.
"Ding—"
Three seconds later, the elevator door opened.
Liuyue, held in his arms, walked out of the elevator. The room was very close, right by the elevator.
She took the card from her coat pocket and swiped it.
The door opened, then closed.
This time, it was a real wall pin.
Liuyue was pressed against the wall, his kisses like a raging storm.
The lights in the room were off.
Only dim moonlight filtered through the curtains, casting a faint glow on the floor, too weak to clearly show their expressions.
During a brief respite between kisses.
Chen Liuyue's voice had become both husky and sweet.
"Wei Miao, carry me over."
She pointed to the large, soft 1.8-meter bed not far away.
Oh, right. The only available room was a king room.
A dark glint flashed in Wei Miao's eyes.
Yet he still restrained himself. "Here... won't it be treating you poorly?"
But Chen Liuyue laughed.
Her slender fingertip lifted his chin.
With a willful tone, she said, "What? Do I need to pick a special day to sleep with a man?"
Wei Miao took a deep breath.
His strong arms lifted her, his movements as careful as if holding a treasure, and placed her on the bed.
Sinking into the soft, comfortable bed, Chen Liuyue crooked a finger.
"Continue."
At the same time, she began tugging at his jacket.
Wei Miao was very obedient. He raised his hands and neatly shed the white shirt underneath as well.
Revealing a fair, well-built chest with taut muscles.
Clearly defined eight-pack abs and a narrow waist.
Chen Liuyue stared unblinkingly and said with a laugh,
"I told you Brother Wei has a great waist."
"Indeed."
The darkness in Wei Miao's eyes deepened.
He took her hand and placed it on his chest, teasing subtly, "The feel is good too. Try it."
The air in the room grew thick with ambiguity and intimacy.
"Ring ring ring—"
Suddenly, a piercing ringtone shattered the atmosphere.
It came from the phone in Chen Liuyue's coat pocket.
She frowned, not wanting to pay it any mind.
She reached out to undo buttons.
"Ring ring ring—"
The phone rang again.
A flicker of alertness and tension passed through Wei Miao's eyes. He offered,
"It's probably a spam call. Let me turn it off for you."
Only then did Chen Liuyue lazily prop herself up on an elbow from the bed, her cheek pressing against his warm chest.
She crooked a finger.
"Get my phone for me."
A trace of reluctance flashed in Wei Miao's eyes, but he could only helplessly hand it over.
The moment he lifted the phone, he saw three large characters on the screen.
Qin Xuanye.
Damn ex-boyfriend!
Really haunting them like a lingering ghost.
Seeing the phone, Chen Liuyue smiled and directly pressed the answer button.
"Hello, brother-in-law." Her voice was sweet and crisp again.
Wei Miao felt a pang of jealousy. Half-kneeling on the bed, his lips landed on her neck, giving it a gentle nip.
"Stop it." Chen Liuyue pushed him lightly.
But Wei Miao's eyes were smiling.
