Chapter 23: Overnight Stay at a Hotel
Chapter 23: Overnight Stay at a Hotel
At night, in the e-sports hotel, Mo Xunhuan staggered to the bedside, lay down, let out a long sigh, and made a lazy sound.
"Ugh... I can finally lie down and get some rest, I'm exhausted~"
The seductive voice of the opposite sex made Lan Ruoxin blush and her heart race. She entered later, closed and locked the door, placed her handbag on the table, pulled out a chair and sat down, staring intently at Mo Xunhuan lying on the bed.
Come to think of it, this was the first time I'd ever gone into a hotel with a boy, especially with the guy I had a crush on.
Just thinking about it makes my heart race.
The excessively quiet environment also made Mo Xunhuan slightly puzzled. As soon as he sat up, he saw Lan Ruoxin sitting at the table, sitting in a reserved and ladylike posture, as if she was not relaxed.
"Come and sit down!"
"Do? Do what?"
"Sit here, the bed is so soft. Aren't you uncomfortable sitting on that stool over there?" Mo Xunhuan patted the mattress next to her and urged.
"Oh!" Lan Ruoxin slowly got up, walked over with light steps, and sat down next to Mo Xunhuan.
As soon as she sat down, Mo Xunhuan immediately moved closer, staring intently at her from right in front of her face.
"You're acting strange. Why do you seem so reserved? Is this your first time going to a hotel with a man?"
"Uh...yes, it's my first time~" Lan Ruoxin nodded, blushing.
Looking at her shy demeanor, one might mistake her for a young maiden from Chu, blushing and getting nervous at the drop of a hat, even though she's already twenty-five or twenty-six and a school principal.
"Really? That's really strange. You've never been to a hotel with a man before. Are you still Chu Nu?" Mo Xunhuan asked curiously.
"Hmm~"
"Wow!" Upon hearing the other person's affirmative "hmm," Mo Xunhuan was so shocked that he immediately stepped back, stood on the ground, and spun around, looking at her with a look of utter astonishment.
Although older Chu women are not uncommon in a matriarchal world, a Chu woman with such high qualifications as the other party is still very rare.
The same was true for Su Qi before. Although Mo Xunhuan was drugged that day, he was still conscious under the protection of the system. At that time, he did not expect that Su Qi was a virgin.
The fact that a wicked fellow turned out to be a virgin greatly lessened Mo Xunhuan's dissatisfaction at the time.
"You...you shouldn't look at me like that. Isn't Chu Nu good enough?" Lan Ruoxin felt ashamed in the face of Mo Xunhuan's gaze.
"Okay, of course it's good, this proves you're a good woman... uh..." Halfway through his sentence, Mo Xunhuan thought of Su Qi, who didn't seem to be following the rules very well.
"I'm just a little surprised. With your qualifications, you could lose your virginity in no time." Mo Xunhuan stepped forward and sat down.
Lan Ruoxin took a deep breath, shook her head, and said, "I'm not interested!"
"What are you not interested in? Are you not interested in men, or are you not interested in that kind of thing?" Mo Xunhuan asked curiously.
"No, none of them."
"None of those? Then what are you interested in?"
"To you!" Lan Ruoxin blurted out.
The two stared at each other, and the response created an awkward silence. Neither of them knew what to do, including Lan Ruoxin herself, who hadn't expected to say something like that.
Just then, a knock on the door broke the awkward atmosphere.
"I...I'll go check, it should be takeout." Lan Ruoxin immediately got up and walked towards the door.
I opened the door, and sure enough, it was takeout. There were several different kinds of food.
"Your takeout."
"Thanks."
After closing the door, Lan Ruoxin placed the takeout on the table. Turning her head, she saw that Mo Xunhuan had already gone to the bathroom to wash his hands.
A few minutes later, the two sat down at a table with four takeout orders on it: fried chicken, spicy hot pot, noodles, and dumplings.
"Why did you buy so much? Can the two of us finish it?" Lan Ruoxin asked as she picked up a dumpling and ate it.
"It's okay, I ordered these meals separately, so they're cheap," Mo Xunhuan said casually.
"What?" Lan Ruoxin looked up at him in shock.
"What's wrong? Why do you look so shocked? Haven't you ever used Pinhaofan before?"
"Uh...no, I read online that the stuff in here isn't clean."
"Oh, what's the big deal about cleanliness? This isn't for kids. Adults have strong antibodies, so as long as it doesn't kill them, it's fine." With that, Mo Xunhuan picked up a piece of fried chicken and ate it with relish.
Seeing this, Lan Ruoxin smiled helplessly and ate along with them.
Actually, what shocked Lan Ruoxin was not the fact that Mo Xunhuan knew how to use the food, but that it showed that Mo Xunhuan's family situation was really not good.
Moreover, I visited his home last time and saw for myself that none of the furniture in his house was brand name, and the neighborhood he lived in was very ordinary, with a small house.
Thinking about all this, Lan Ruoxin lost her appetite, put down her chopsticks, and sighed.
"I'm full, you can eat." After saying that, Lan Ruoxin walked towards the bed.
"Full? You've only eaten a few bites, what's wrong?" Mo Xunhuan walked over with a box of fried chicken and sat down next to Lan Ruoxin.
"I've been busy from afternoon to evening and haven't eaten anything. You need to eat something, otherwise it's too much for your body to handle," Mo Xunhuan reminded her.
"No, those two bites are enough. I really have no appetite," Lan Ruoxin shook her head and refused.
"Not in the mood? Is it because I ordered a pre-packaged meal? If you don't like this, I can order something else."
"No, when I'm with you, I never care what we eat, I just..."
Seeing Lan Ruoxin's hesitant expression, Mo Xunhuan seemed to have thought of something. He placed the fried chicken box in his hand on the bedside table and patted Lan Ruoxin's thigh.
"What's wrong? Tell me what's bothering you, I'm listening~"
Faced with Mo Xunhuan's tender gaze, Lan Ruoxin felt even more heartache and suddenly hugged him tightly in her arms.
"My heart aches for you, Xunhuan! Seeing the life you're living now, I really... really feel terrible. You deserve better treatment, it shouldn't be like this!"
Forced to press against that exquisite softness, Mo Xunhuan did not feel the nervousness he had when facing Su Qi, because he understood Lan Ruoxin, and gently patted her back to comfort her.
"What did I think it was? It's nothing, we've made it through, haven't we?"
"But... I feel terrible when I think about how you've had a hard time all these years. If you had chosen me instead of her, things wouldn't have been like this..."
"Stop!" Just then, Mo Xunhuan stopped her, stood up, put his finger to her lips, and stared at her with a serious expression.
"Don't say things like that again. I don't want to hear it."
Seeing that Mo Xunhuan seemed a little angry, Lan Ruoxin immediately wilted and apologized softly, "I'm...I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those things..."
