Continuous

Due to the special nature of her work, Lin Yanran reluctantly pressed her ear against the door.

Inside the room,

Chen Xiao and Yu Mengqi were very intimate.

"You've lost weight in the month since you came home."

Yu Mengqi shyly replied, "I've been practicing dance at home."

Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow; his female friends were truly multi-talented.

Xi Yunru was good at fitness, Yu Mengqi could sing and dance, Zhang Ting was a host, Li Wenli liked oil painting, Xia Yudie was an e-sports girl, Tan Cheng...

Tan Cheng didn't count for now.

"Then dance a bit for me to see."

Yu Mengqi smiled sweetly, "Okay."

She found a rhythmic and enchanting song on her phone.

Then, she swayed her graceful waist to the beat...

Chen Xiao sat with his legs crossed, appreciating the performance intently.

Yu Mengqi was the campus belle of the neighboring school.

She had a tall figure and beautiful features.

Moreover, her voice was sweet, and her dance moves were enchanting.

Her light green long dress perfectly accentuated her alluring and delicate figure.

Amidst the passionate music, Chen Xiao gradually became captivated by the hot dance...

Thanks to years of dance training, Yu Mengqi's delicate body was incredibly flexible.

She could perform all kinds of dance moves to perfection.

Whatever Chen Xiao requested, she could fulfill.

The two came together because of money.

And because Chen Xiao had so much money, she found it difficult to leave.

Chen Xiao didn't have high demands for her.

She only needed to be a woman who pleased him; deep affection or true love were unnecessary.

However, dancing was an extremely physically demanding activity.

And Chen Xiao was a master at it.

When Yu Mengqi danced alone, she would be tired, but her legs wouldn't feel sore.

But dancing with him was different.

After just over an hour, she was out of energy.

Chen Xiao admired Yu Mengqi's long legs for a moment, then covered her with the blanket.

He walked out of the room.

After the long journey, Yu Mengqi would probably need to sleep for a long time to recover.

He went downstairs for a cup of coffee and saw Teng Xiao Capital's business van parked at the Hotel entrance.

Wearing a lace-trimmed dress, Xia Yudie had on knee-length white lace stockings and two ponytails, looking lively, pretty, and adorable.

The driver took down her luggage.

Chen Xiao stood up from the nearby coffee shop and waved.

Xia Yudie immediately saw him, then abandoned her luggage and ran straight towards him.

Ignoring the stares of others, she directly hugged Chen Xiao, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck.

Chen Xiao always felt her deep infatuation whenever he was with Xia Yudie.

Behind them, a staff member placed her luggage beside Chen Xiao and then quietly left, not disturbing the two.

"Chen Xiao, I missed you so much."

Chen Xiao held her and sat down, "Do you want anything to drink?"

Xia Yudie shook her head, eager to share her trip to the grassland with him.

"Old Xia is so annoying, he insisted on staying a few more days, and when I wanted to leave, he went and complained to my mom, which is why I only got away today..."

Chen Xiao was speechless; if Xia Linan knew his little 'cotton jacket' was complaining about him like this, would he be so angry he'd vomit three liters of blood?

Xia Yudie's voice naturally had a slight 'squeaky' tone, which perfectly matched her sweet appearance.

Chen Xiao listened to her complaints with a smile, finding it quite amusing.

But then he checked the time; it was already 5:30 PM, and Li Wenli would arrive at 7:00 PM...

"Ahem... Yu Die, what do you want to eat? I'll have the Hotel arrange it."

Xia Yudie leaned in and said in a soft, sweet voice, "I want to eat... you."

"..." Chen Xiao.

Since that was the case, it suited Chen Xiao perfectly.

He immediately stopped hesitating and directly took Xia Yudie upstairs.

This caused many burly men in the lobby to exclaim, "Beast!"

How could such a cute girl be taken upstairs?

The truth was, Chen Xiao not only took her upstairs.

He also showed no pity.

Perhaps bullying a cute girl until she cried brought a different kind of satisfaction?

"Chen, Chen Xiao, have you been exercising again?"

Chen Xiao said, "No, I've been very busy this summer, only occasionally finding time to practice before bed."

"Then why do I feel like... you have been practicing?"

Chen Xiao paused, "Oh, maybe it's because I've been practicing a special kind of martial art."

"..." Xia Yudie.

"Don't practice that! It's an evil art!"

Chen Xiao was speechless, "No, it's not. Don't believe me? Just watch."

The squeaky voice echoed in the luxurious room.

Chen Xiao checked the time; it was 6:30 PM, and Xia Yudie still had a bit of energy.

He intensified his efforts, finally coaxing her to sleep at 6:40 PM.

Then he covered her with the blanket, took a shower, and left the room.

Chen Xiao also wanted to be gentle and caring, but if he didn't make her fall into a deep sleep, how could he get away?

Looking at Xia Yudie, Chen Xiao smiled helplessly.

Xia Yudie was always very proactive, but she was also the first to give up.

She really was both bad at it and loved to play...

After leaving the room, Chen Xiao saw a familiar figure flash past a corner of the corridor.

He couldn't help but wonder, who could it be?

He walked over to look and found it was Lin Yanran, holding a notebook and hiding in the corner of the fire escape.

"Yanran? What are you doing here?"

"Uh, I... I'm catching cockroaches..."

Chen Xiao paused, catching cockroaches?

In Shu City, Xia Yudie's father, Xia Linan, had also shouted about catching cockroaches...

And even threatened to kill and crush them...

Chen Xiao felt a strong sense of deja vu.

He couldn't help but scold, "Cockroaches are so cute, why do you want to catch them? You're not allowed to catch cockroaches, do you hear me?"

Lin Yanran: "..."

Is the boss crazy?

Cockroaches... cute?

"Oh, I understand."

Chen Xiao was not satisfied, so he pinched her cute nose, finally feeling content, and walked towards Li Wenli's room.

After repeated battles, Chen Xiao didn't feel much fatigue.

He couldn't help but praise the martial art given by Half-Immortal Huang.

Previously, he could barely manage two hours of intense fighting, but it would never be as easy as it was now, with energy still to spare.

Zhang Ting wouldn't arrive until 10 PM, so there was plenty of time, which made things easy for Chen Xiao with Li Wenli.

It had to be said, Su Tang was truly thoughtful.

...

In the room, Li Wenli complained, "You said you'd tell me as soon as you got back to Jinning."

"I've been too busy. Aren't I telling you first?"

Li Wenli wrinkled her small nose, a clear expression of disbelief on her exquisite foreign-looking face.

"As long as you didn't tell Xia Yudie first, it's fine."

Chen Xiao was speechless; why were these two girls always at odds?

Li Wenli thought for a moment and then said, "Oh, actually, it's fine if you told her first. We've reconciled."

Chen Xiao: "!???"

"How did you reconcile?"

Li Wenli said, "We ran into each other at the airport coffee shop during the holiday."

Chen Xiao's nerves tightened, "Th-that's how it is, then. Was it just the two of you... talking alone?"

"Yes, who else would there be?"

"Oh right, when we were talking, there was a girl next to us who kept eavesdropping, but then she left for some reason."
