Chapter 186: Chapter 180: This Night... Is Destined to Be Long and...

"Ugh!?"

Liu Yiyi shot a shy and annoyed glare at a certain someone who was slow when he should be fast, and fast when he should be slow. Then, keeping her voice low, she said, "Yanyan, I was just doing yoga!"

"I knew it! Yiyi, you’re such an overachiever. I’m going jogging tomorrow morning too!"

"With your figure, you don’t even need to try so hard! That pair... Ah..."

"What’s wrong?"

"N-nothing! I was talking to you while stretching and accidentally sprained my ankle! Ouch~"

Li Yan heard the obvious disruption in the other party’s breathing and pressed, "Are you sure you’re okay?"

"I’m going to apply a cold compress, or else tomorrow it’ll probably... ah... mhm... it hurts a bit to walk..." Liu Yiyi’s voice trembled, clearly in extreme pain.

Li Yan grew even more concerned, though she vaguely sensed something was off. As for what exactly was wrong, it wasn’t her place to pry. After chatting for a few more sentences, Liu Yiyi said she was going to take a shower and hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, in the hotel room.

Liu Yiyi lay lazily on the sofa, a few strands of hair clinging to her temples. She exuded a unique, enchanting allure. She let out a weak hum and reached her slender, jade-like arm out toward Su Yunzhou. "I want water."

Looking entirely refreshed, Su Yunzhou immediately brought over a glass of water. Perhaps because she had expended too much energy earlier, Yiyi gulped down the entire glass in one breath—GLUG GLUG GLUG. Women were made of water; after being hydrated, she immediately recovered a bit of her vitality.

Her expression turned serious. "You... can’t do this anymore... I almost couldn’t hold it in... What if Yanyan found out..."

Su Yunzhou put on the act of an innocent good boy. "Sorry, I misunderstood!"

"What?" Liu Yiyi asked, puzzled.

"When the phone rang earlier, I noticed you were a bit... so I thought... and then..." Su Yunzhou spouted nonsense with a completely straight face, adding at the end, "Besides, I already held back from moving. I was terrified of blowing our cover back then!"

In truth, he wasn’t afraid at all. After all, he and Yiyi’s best friend had already... hehehe! Moreover, he suspected that Li Yan had already noticed something was amiss. After all, those groans of ’foot pain’ sounded way too... strange! However, hanging up suddenly would have seemed too abrupt, so they were forced to... hehehe! Tonight would probably be another sleepless night for Li Yan, one she would have to resolve using a certain something!

Liu Yiyi glared in exasperation at the certain someone who was defending his sophistry. She was quite huffy. It was true that he hadn’t moved much earlier, but that slow, grinding torment made the itch in her heart even more unbearable.

Although, honestly, it was a bit... Ugh, so annoying and embarrassing.

She slowly got up, still feeling somewhat indignant. Shifting her gaze to the takeout food on the dining table, she prepared to replenish her energy properly. She would definitely show him who was boss tonight!

...

At the Crown Hotel.

Lilia, clad in a bathrobe, stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows with a glass of red wine. Her half-concealed, charming figure was a spectacular sight, though unfortunately, she was the only one who could appreciate it.

She felt a bit agitated... Why would Zhou reject her? The line of men chasing her could stretch from the Beautiful Country all the way to Moxican. Ke Zhou remained indifferent?

No! He was definitely tempted! The interactions and ambiguity between them this afternoon couldn’t be faked! But why exactly was this happening?!

She pondered it over and over but couldn’t come up with a reason. So, she stopped dwelling on the past and looked toward the future. Didn’t he say he would come to find her tomorrow morning? Then she would just wait until he arrived before... Hmph! She knew there was nothing she, Lilia, set out to do that she couldn’t accomplish.

...

At Li Yan’s home.

After hanging up the phone, she sat quietly on the sofa.

She wasn’t stupid! There was no way those sounds came from a sprained ankle... Heh~ Yiyi didn’t have that much guts! It was definitely that bad guy. Hmph~ Su Yunzhou was too wicked! He was definitely doing it on purpose...

It was a long night, and she was in no mood to sleep. Coupled with the stimulation from earlier, images of R-28 rated scenes floated uncontrollably into Li Yan’s mind.

She thought of a highly explicit smut novel she had stumbled upon a few days ago. She unlocked her phone, opened the app, closed the pop-up ads, and found a story with a very profound title. The title goes without saying, but the plot could be summarized in a single sentence:

"A best friend as sleepy as one in a movie, a wife as blind as one in the kitchen, and a sister as deaf as one in the bedroom!"

The greatest charm of text lay in this sense of immersion. In the dead of night, it could create a highly intimate interaction with the reader. Li Yan felt exactly like that. Her legs tensed, her breathing quickened, and her body grew hot, as if...

Left with no other choice, she pulled out the second-generation Little Monster vibrator from the nightstand...

...

The next day.

When the first ray of morning sunlight filtered through the window and illuminated the sexy, alluring figure on the bed, Liu Yiyi’s long eyelashes fluttered. It took her quite a while to finally open her eyes.

"Ugh! So sleepy! So exhausted!

"I’m never acting out of spite again! The Seven Injuries Fist is no fun at all!" she muttered in her heart. She originally wanted to wake a certain someone up, but looking at his handsome face, she held herself back. Such a bad guy! But she really, really liked him!

She moved carefully, dragging her exhausted body out of bed and into the bathroom. After washing up, she found that Su Yunzhou was already awake. He had drawn back the curtains and was standing against the light. His features were striking, and the lines of his muscles gleamed radiantly.

He was truly handsome.

He smiled. "Good morning~"

After cuddling intimately for a while, the two left the room. They really just cuddled; nothing else happened. Su Yunzhou drove her to work.

As they neared Liu Yiyi’s company, he asked, "Should we go watch a movie together tonight? A new one just came out..."

"No!" Liu Yiyi flatly refused. She only wanted to go home after work and get a good night’s sleep. The kind where she wouldn’t even eat dinner, just sleeping straight from seven in the evening to seven the next morning.

After getting out of the car, Liu Yiyi waved goodbye. Her retreating figure looked incredibly sleepy.

Su Yunzhou sent a message to Lilia, then drove toward the Crown Hotel.

Lilia put down her phone and yawned. Last night, she had lain on the soft bed until two in the morning before finally drifting off to sleep in a daze. However, the mere thought of what might happen next made her glow with radiance. Perfume, lace, protection... everything was ready. All that was missing was the man.

...

There was some traffic during the rush hour.

Su Yunzhou arrived a little late. After parking his car, he called Lilia, but she didn’t answer. She was probably washing up! He remembered there seemed to be a flower shop by the hotel entrance, so he decided to go buy a bouquet. He also thought of Niuniu; he had to go back early tonight to check on her situation.

While the shop owner wrapped the flowers, he pondered over his itinerary for the day. Since they were going to the Giant Panda Base, they definitely wouldn’t take the subway. Although playing the ’train wolf’ was quite fun, it took too long, and they would still have to walk a distance after getting off.

After paying and taking the flowers, Su Yunzhou walked into the hotel lobby holding the delicate, vibrant Red Rose bouquet. He immediately attracted quite a few gazes. After all, the unfolding drama of a handsome guy carrying flowers was a scenario many people were Lejian to see.

RING RING RING~

The phone started ringing. Upon answering, Lilia’s slightly hurried voice came through the receiver.

"Zhou! I sprained my ankle just as I was getting ready to head out!

"I’m treating it now... um... how about you come up first...

"I’m in room 1203..."
