She was wearing clothes, but it was winter. Even if there was a heater in the room, she might still catch a cold if she were to sleep like this …
Xia Shangzhou hesitated for a moment before he eventually stepped into the bedroom. He bent down, picked up the blanket on the floor, and carefully covered Lin Jiayi with it.
But just as he was about to get up from the bed, Lin Jiayi, who had been sleeping soundly on the bed, suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck. Without any warning, she brought his upper body right before her.
Xia Shangzhou was taken aback by this abrupt turn of events. Then, he saw Lin Jiayi opening her eyes.
There was an intoxicated look in her beautiful eyes, and he knew that she was drunk.
She stared at him, and a breathtakingly beautiful smile suddenly blossomed on her exquisite lips. Then, as if she had seen the person she had yearned for day and night, she spoke in an exceptionally gentle and pleasant voice, "Qin Ting, you're back …"
Qin Ting? Is that a person's name?
Amidst Xia Shangzhou's confusion, Lin Jiayi spoke once more with that same gentle voice of hers, "Qin Ting, what took you so long? I've been waiting for you for a long time …"
So, his guess was right. This Qin Ting was the lover she spoke of who had passed away?
While Xia Shangzhou was deep in thought, he suddenly felt a warm breath brushing against his face.
He snapped out of his daze, and in the next moment, he felt a light kiss on his cheek.
It was like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. It was faintly discernible, but there was an intense numbness that spread from his face to every vein in his body, reaching straight to the bottom of his heart.
This unfamiliar yet stimulating sensation made his body stiffen. Following which, he felt Lin Jiayi's lips moving closer to his.
Just as his lips were about to touch hers, she spoke once more, "Qin Ting …"
Those two words jolted Xia Shangzhou back to his senses. Without any hesitation, he pulled Lin Jiayi's hand away and dashed out of the door as if he was fleeing for his life.
Xia Shangzhou even forgot to take the elevator. He climbed from the thirty-story building to the first floor, and by the time he stepped out of the building, the chilly wind of the winter morning blew right into his face. He shivered uncontrollably before his mind gradually calmed down.
He had left his jacket at Lin Jiayi's place, but he didn't dare to return upstairs to retrieve it. Instead, he walked to the entrance of the neighborhood with his teeth chattering, and he stood by the roadside, shivering from the cold. It took him a while before he finally flagged down a cab and headed to the Golden Resplendence to retrieve Lin Jiayi's car.
By the time he returned the car to Lin Jiayi's parking lot and hailed a cab back to the academy, it was already six in the morning.
Xia Shangzhou, who hadn't been able to sleep the entire night, was already lying on his bed.
He lay on the 1.2 meter wide bed, listening to Lu Benlai's heavy breathing, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't fall asleep.
It was as if a spell had been cast on his mind. Lin Jiayi's lips replayed over and over again, and the feeling when her lips gently landed on his cheek …
…
After everyone had left, Lin Jiage called for a waiter to settle the bill before leaving the Golden Resplendence with Shi Yao.
