Su Yang thought he had misheard. He froze for a moment and asked again, "What did you say?"
"I said, come here for a second."
"Me come there? Are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
"You... you're playing with fire, I'm telling you." Su Yang said as he stood up. He quickly walked over to the bathroom door.
"What do you need?"
"I... I'm still a little dizzy. I wasn't paying attention just now and dropped my clothes on the floor. Now they're completely soaked."
"And so?"
"So, could you help me blow-dry my clothes?"
"Blow-dry them how?"
"With a hairdryer."
Su Yang: "..."
"You know they are completely soaked. If you want to dry them with a hairdryer, it will probably take until tomorrow morning. It's not going to work."
"You... then how am I supposed to come out?"
"Isn't there a bath towel? Just wrap yourself in it and come out."
"No way!!"
"Then you can just sleep in there tonight," Su Yang teased with a smile.
"You!! You..."
"What? Are you going to call me a pervert again?"
Two seconds later, Tao Shu suddenly switched to a coquettish tone. "Brother Su Yang, I'm begging you. Please help me dry my clothes."
"Ugh, gross. I already told you they won't dry. Just wrap yourself in the towel and come out, I won't look at you."
"Then don't look."
"Even if you're wrapped in a towel, I wouldn't be able to see anything anyway!"
"Fine, you jerk!"
Soon, Tao Shu walked out, wrapped tightly from top to bottom in a bath towel.
Su Yang had already returned to the bed and was lying down.
Fresh out of the shower, Tao Shu looked incredibly alluring. Her hair was still wet, and her fair, delicate face had a faint blush.
"The hairdryer is on the sofa. Dry your hair yourself."
"Hmph!! Just you wait!" Tao Shu quickly walked over to the sofa, sat down, and began drying her hair.
Her hair was quite long, so it took her about ten minutes to dry it.
After drying her hair, she looked at Su Yang on the bed and said, "You... let me sleep on the bed."
"What?"
"I said get down and let me sleep on the bed!"
"Hey, aren't you being a bit too bossy? I booked this room, so why should I let you sleep on the bed?"
"Don't you know how to treat a lady?"
Su Yang shook his head. "Nope, never heard of the concept."
"You!!" Tao Shu gritted her teeth.
She had sobered up a lot after throwing up earlier, but she was still a bit dizzy, which was why she hadn't paid attention while showering and accidentally dropped all her clothes on the floor, getting them wet.
Trying to dry them with the hotel's low-power hairdryer would be difficult. She definitely couldn't leave tonight, so she set her sights on the bed.
Su Yang rested his hands behind his head and smiled. "You what? I'll give you two choices right now: one, sleep on the sofa; two, get into bed and we sleep together."
"What? You!!"
"What? Do you know how drunk you were just now? I had the good intention of taking you home, but I asked you for ages and you wouldn't tell me where you lived."
"I have a soft heart, so I couldn't just leave you stranded on the street."
"So I had to bring you back to the hotel. Sigh, do you know you're quite heavy? I carried you on my back all the way from the food stall back to the hotel. I'm exhausted, and then you have the nerve to call me a pervert."
"You... didn't you know how to call a cab?"
"I wanted to, but there were no empty cabs on the road, and I couldn't get a ride-hailing car either. I couldn't just stand there waiting forever, so my only option was to carry you back," Su Yang bluffed.
Tao Shu was simple-minded to begin with, so she asked half-suspiciously, "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
"Fine... fine, then I suppose I should thank you?"
"What else?"
Tao Shu scratched her head and said, "But, there's only one bed. How are we supposed to sleep?"
"This bed is over two meters wide. We can just sleep on opposite sides. It's not like I'm going to do anything to you."
"I don't believe you."
"Believe it or not. If that doesn't work for you, then sleep on the sofa."
Tao Shu looked down at the sofa. Su Yang had just booked a standard king room, and the sofa was merely a small two-seater.
If a normal adult lay down on it, their legs would hang off the edge in mid-air. It would be very uncomfortable to sleep on.
Tao Shu bit her lip, looked at the comfortable large bed, and said, "I'm not sleeping on the sofa!"
With that, she mustered up her courage, stood up, walked to the other side of the bed, took off her shoes, and quickly slipped under the covers.
Su Yang paused for a moment and asked, "Are you really daring enough to sleep here?"
"Why wouldn't I be? But let me warn you, don't get any funny ideas, or I'll call the police and have you arrested!"
Su Yang grinned. "Alright, however..."
"However what?" Tao Shu asked warily.
"I have this habit."
"What habit?"
"I tend to sleepwalk after falling asleep, and I like to grab round things. If I happen to sleepwalk over to your side later, you can't blame me. It's not my subjective consciousness."
Although Tao Shu was innocent, she could still tell that Su Yang was joking.
She said nonchalantly, "Tch, I don't believe you."
"Suit yourself. Time to sleep." Su Yang turned and pressed the switch on the wall, instantly plunging the room into darkness.
Neither of them spoke for a moment, and Tao Shu's heartbeat suddenly quickened.
Su Yang could hear it clearly; his own heart was beating a bit fast right now too.
After all, lying next to him was a top-tier beauty with a facial score over 90 and a figure hitting 95. Who could withstand that?
Of course, the same was true for Tao Shu.
People are fundamentally visual creatures, and Su Yang's appearance and physique were exactly Tao Shu's type.
Although she didn't say it out loud, her affection level couldn't lie.
It hadn't been long, but it had already rapidly climbed to 70. There was no way she could fall asleep right now; her mind was completely filled with Su Yang's perfect abs.
After two minutes of silence, they both turned to look at each other at the same time.
Although it was pitch black, Su Yang could still roughly make out the silhouette of Tao Shu's figure.
"What are you doing?" Tao Shu asked.
"Can't I just turn over?"
"You can, but don't secretly scoot over here."
"Mind your own business. I'll come over if I want to, this is my room."
Tao Shu didn't say anything, so Su Yang continued, "Are you sober now?"
"Pretty much, just a little dizzy still."
"You sobered up quite fast. I thought you would sleep straight through to morning, but who knew you'd wake up before even finishing your shower."
"What did you expect? With a big pervert beside me, how could I not wake up a bit faster?"
Su Yang laughed, "If I were really a pervert, you'd be long gone by now."
Tao Shu fell silent again.
Su Yang didn't know what else to say for a moment. Smelling the faint fragrance beside him, he was having a hard time controlling himself. He hurriedly turned onto his back and lay flat. "I'm not talking to you anymore. If we keep talking, I really might not be able to hold back from doing something. Go to sleep!"
"I can't sleep."
"You have to sleep even if you can't. Stop talking to me, or I can't guarantee what might happen next."
Su Yang said no more, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.
Tao Shu also stayed quiet, and the two of them groggily drifted off to sleep just like that.
Around four or five in the morning, Su Yang felt breath blowing onto his face from beside him.
He immediately woke up and opened his eyes, only to see a head leaning in close to his face in the dark night, doing who knows what.
Before Su Yang could react, Tao Shu was startled by his sudden movement and hurriedly darted to the other side.
Su Yang's anger instantly flared up. He grabbed her and demanded, "What were you just doing?"
"N-nothing..."
"Messing with me, are you? Fine! If that's how it is, then neither of us is getting any sleep. Let's chat!" Throwing all reservations to the wind, he pulled Tao Shu right into his arms and started talking to her.
