Chapter 259
Kayako was letting out a shrill scream, but Ye Zhenzhen couldn't hear a thing.
All her senses were focused elsewhere.
......
A late evening gust of wind and rain washed away the autumn dryness.
Tuning the pipes and flutes, she faced the water chestnut mirror with light makeup.
......
The crimson silk was thin, her icy skin gleaming, snowy and fragrant.
Urging the young man on.
......
Keep the lamp before the bed canopy lit, waiting from time to time, to look at her delicate face.
......
...
Two hours later.
The movie finally ended, and the lights on the ceiling of the private room turned on.
Gu Ran sat up from the bed unhurriedly, feeling refreshed as he straightened out his slightly messy hem.
With one hand in his pocket, he leaned lazily against the doorframe of the private room, a satisfied smile on his face.
And on the other side of the large bed.
Ye Zhenzhen's eyes were reddish, her long hair in disarray.
She frantically grabbed the pack of extra-thick wet wipes they had bought before coming in, her hands trembling uncontrollably as she tore open the packaging.
Gu Ran just quietly admired her flustered state, the smile in his eyes growing deeper.
After a few wipes, Ye Zhenzhen's movements gradually slowed down.
Her nose twitched slightly.
The next second, her pretty brows furrowed.
She quietly put her hands down and started doing other things to distract herself, pretending to be very busy.
But her completely flushed pretty face and her slender neck were covered in a layer of pink, completely exposing her unsettled heart.
Gu Ran, leaning against the door, laughed out loud. "It's not like you didn't wash your hands, what are you disgusted by?"
"Shut up!"
Ye Zhenzhen was dying of shame and anger. She grabbed a pillow and threw it at him.
Gu Ran easily caught the pillow, stepped forward, and opened the door. "Let's go, it's time to meet up."
Ye Zhenzhen took several deep breaths, trying hard to calm her wildly beating heart.
She shoved her right hand tightly into her jacket pocket, lowered her head, and dawdled out the door behind Gu Ran.
"Click."
Just as they walked out, the door to the private room next door also opened.
Ye Jinliang walked out with a glowing red face.
He held his head high, strutting with an arrogant swagger.
Looking closely, there was a small cut on his thick lips, oozing a trace of blood.
From today on, he was also a man who had experienced a real kiss!
Pei Susu, who followed closely behind, had completely lost her usual bossy demeanor.
She kept her head down, her hands unconsciously twisting the hem of her shirt, biting her rosy lips tightly.
On that face that was usually so boisterous, two suspicious blushes were now floating.
The four of them officially met up in the hallway.
The air suddenly grew quiet.
Ye Zhenzhen raised her head, and her gaze happened to collide with Pei Susu's in mid-air.
The two saw each other's thoroughly flushed faces and dodging eyes clearly.
The two best friends, who usually loved to mock and tease each other, now tacitly fell into a bizarre silence.
Neither dared to be the first to speak and tease the other.
Because both were feeling guilty.
Afraid that the moment they opened their mouths, they would expose the shameful things they had just been doing in the private room.
Ye Jinliang's loud voice broke the silence. He rubbed his hands excitedly, completely oblivious to the awkward atmosphere in the hallway.
"Watching this movie took too much energy! Let's go, let's go, let's go to the food street at the entrance and have some barbecue to calm our nerves!"
Pei Susu, the "veteran foodie" who usually responded enthusiastically, uncharacteristically didn't reply.
Instead, she buried her head even lower, pretending to tidy the loose hair by her ear, drawing circles on the ground with her toe.
Ye Zhenzhen acted as if facing a formidable enemy.
She clenched her small hands tightly, hiding them behind her back, her whole body stiff.
Her face was full of unnaturalness, her eyes darting everywhere.
Gu Ran took in the reactions of the two guilty girls.
He glanced again at Ye Jinliang, who was still scratching his head in confusion but full of anticipation, and slowly spoke.
"I think watching this movie made everyone quite 'tired'."
He deliberately dragged out his tone as he spoke, carrying a bit of teasing, "High mental tension, it really takes a lot out of you."
The bodies of the two girls trembled at the same time.
"How about... we skip the barbecue and just go home to rest for today?"
This suggestion was like music to their ears!
"Right!"
"Let's go home!"
Ye Zhenzhen and Pei Susu agreed in unison.
They didn't give Ye Jinliang any chance to refute or ask questions.
Pei Susu grabbed Ye Jinliang's arm and walked quickly toward the cinema entrance without looking back.
"Hey? Wait... aren't we eating?" Ye Jinliang stumbled as he was dragged away, his voice echoing in the hallway.
"Eat, eat, eat, eat your head! Shut up!" Pei Susu's low growl out of humiliation and anger drifted over.
The two fled in panic.
Watching their retreating backs, Gu Ran let out a soft chuckle.
He turned his head, looked at Ye Zhenzhen who was still frozen in place, and naturally took her left hand.
"Let's go, we're going home too."
Ye Zhenzhen didn't struggle, obediently letting him lead her.
...
On the way home, the young girl sitting in the passenger seat uncontrollably and quietly raised her hand to play with her hair.
Eww~
Then, like a thief, she quickly withdrew it back into her pocket.
The tips of her ears were burning red, her heart pounding wildly.
Ugh...
She turned her head to look at a certain someone driving, her cheeks involuntarily puffing out.
Bad guy!
