169: Chapter 169 Xu Dongqing gets a perfect score

Inside the hotel room, Xu Dongqing had just woken up.

She had felt a bit sleepy after returning in the afternoon, so she decided to take a nap.

She hadn't expected to sleep until now.

Xu Dongqing opened her eyes and saw that it was already dark outside the room.

The room was permeated with a quiet sense of loneliness.

It felt as if time had quietly slipped away while she was asleep.

Leaving her alone in this deserted corner.

Xu Dongqing lay quietly on the bed, staring into the endless darkness.

An inexplicable sadness gradually welled up in her heart.

The darkness was like a giant net, wrapping tightly around her, making her feel suffocated.

Xu Dongqing had always had a little secret that no one knew.

It was that she was very, very afraid of the dark.

It wasn't just the fear of the unknown dangers lurking in the darkness.

It was even more the fear of that feeling of being abandoned by the whole world while trapped in the darkness.

Xu Dongqing got up from the bed, wanting to turn on the lights in the room.

But she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.

She hadn't had time to eat since noon today.

After returning in the afternoon, she had gone straight to sleep until now, and her blood sugar was already a bit low.

Thinking that her classmates must be happily having dinner together at this moment, while she was lying here all alone in the cold, Xu Dongqing's sadness deepened.

Just then, a knock on the door sounded.

Xu Dongqing rubbed her dizzy head, stood up, and leaned against the wall as she shuffled to the door.

She turned the doorknob and opened the door.

Lin Yi's sunny and warm face appeared at the doorway.

"Still hungry, aren't you?"

"I brought you something to eat."

"Are you... just waking up?"

Lin Yi shook the food he was carrying and walked in, closing the door behind him.

Seeing Xu Dongqing's dazed expression and messy hair, Lin Yi guessed that she must have slept straight through until now.

"Did I wake you up?"

Lin Yi scratched his head sheepishly.

Lin Yi's gentle words sounded like a firelight dispelling the cold in winter to Xu Dongqing.

Those negative emotions from just a moment ago vanished instantly the moment she saw Lin Yi.

Moreover, Lin Yi had actually been keeping her in mind all along.

The other students were all having dinner, but he had come back alone first.

Just to specifically bring her something to eat.

Xu Dongqing's eyes moistened.

Growing up, as the older sister, her family had always demanded that she be strong.

She had to take care of her younger brother, Xu Ziyang.

Whenever she encountered any grievances, Xu Dongqing would tell herself not to cry and to be strong.

She was the older sister; she had to be responsible.

But other girls could always act spoiled or cry to their parents.

Every time she saw such scenes, Xu Dongqing felt envious in her heart.

Her childhood experiences led Xu Dongqing to be exceptionally strong-willed.

But no one knew that deep down, Xu Dongqing also had a little girl living inside who needed to be favored and coaxed.

And Lin Yi's appearance made Xu Dongqing feel for the first time that she, too, was worthy of being well taken care of.

"Lin Yi..."

Xu Dongqing choked up.

She looked up at Lin Yi's handsome face, tears shimmering in her eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"Are you not feeling well?"

Lin Yi put down the food in his hand and used the back of his hand to test Xu Dongqing's forehead.

He wanted to see if she had a fever.

Seeing Lin Yi care for her so much, the soft spot in Xu Dongqing's heart was instantly pierced.

All her feigned strength melted into water at this moment by Lin Yi's gentleness.

"Lin Yi... why are you so good to me..."

"You always appear whenever I need you most..."

"It was you at the school gate, and it was you who stood up for me today..."

"Even when I woke up hungry, you were the first person I saw..."

"Lin Yi... I think I've fallen in love with you..."

"I can't leave you..."

Xu Dongqing threw herself into Lin Yi's arms, sobbing softly as she spoke.

Lin Yi gently patted Xu Dongqing's back.

"If you can't leave me, then don't."

"I will always be with you."

Hearing Lin Yi's promise, Xu Dongqing looked up with joy.

"Really?"

Lin Yi nodded and wiped the tears from the corners of Xu Dongqing's eyes.

Xu Dongqing suddenly plucked up the courage and grabbed Lin Yi's hand.

Looking at Lin Yi's face, which was inches away, Xu Dongqing shyly closed her eyes.

Feeling Xu Dongqing's slightly rapid breathing in his arms, Lin Yi didn't hesitate at all and kissed her deeply.

Feeling the strong masculine scent on Lin Yi, Xu Dongqing felt dazed for a moment.

Coupled with the fact that she already had low blood sugar.

Xu Dongqing went limp in Lin Yi's arms.

Her whole body felt soft.

"Do you want to eat something first..."

Lin Yi let go of Xu Dongqing's tender lips and asked tentatively.

Xu Dongqing pursed her lips and shook her head.

"Later... let's eat later..."

After saying that, Xu Dongqing wrapped her arms around Lin Yi's neck and kissed him again.

It was her first time being so intimate with a man.

She hadn't expected that this was what kissing felt like...

The two of them kissed from the doorway to the floor-to-ceiling window.

The long, deep kiss almost made Lin Yi breathless.

After their lips parted, Lin Yi took the opportunity to lie down on the bed, taking deep breaths to adjust his breathing.

"I didn't expect this little girl... to be quite fierce..."

Just as Lin Yi was about to get up, one of Xu Dongqing's slender, jade-like arms pressed against Lin Yi's chest.

Pushing Lin Yi back onto the bed.

"Let's eat first..."

Lin Yi still wanted to struggle tentatively.

After all, Su Ming and the others might be back soon.

If they found out Lin Yi wasn't in his room, they would probably be worried again.

But Xu Dongqing didn't give Lin Yi any chance to resist.

"Eat what?"

"What's so good about eating?"

Xu Dongqing's beautiful fingers grabbed the sash of her bathrobe and gave it a gentle tug.

A scene of snowy white spring suddenly appeared before Lin Yi's eyes.

Because of her years of practicing martial arts, there wasn't a single ounce of excess fat on Xu Dongqing's body.

She even had beautiful abdominal muscles.

Before Lin Yi could appreciate it carefully, Xu Dongqing pounced on him.

"I didn't expect... that I, too, would have a time when I'm passive..."

Lin Yi sighed in his heart.

Following that, rapid breathing rose and fell in the room.

...

...

An hour later, Xu Dongqing lay weakly on the bed.

The intense exercise, being her first time, and the low blood sugar had almost exhausted all her strength.

Lin Yi thoughtfully helped Xu Dongqing up and let her lean against his chest.

Then he personally fed Xu Dongqing.

Xu Dongqing leaned softly against Lin Yi, the flush on her face not yet fully faded.

"You really won't leave me, will you..."

Lin Yi kissed Xu Dongqing's forehead.

"Don't worry, absolutely not."
