[TCFO] Arc 2 — Chapter 75
Kick off the Campus’ Cinderella (35)
As she wiggled from side to side, her cheeks felt smothered. After soaking in this way, the pool made her red, like a ripe, sweet apple, inviting people to bite it. More than that, there was no flaw in the plump juiciness of her skin.
"You've forgotten that this room is mine...," Liu Haoyu said, sitting casually on the floor next to the private pool. He bent on one knee against the wall, swirling a glass of red wine as he looked down at Zhou Min's still unhealed, marked body. His eyes were deep and dark but hidden by a white mist.
"Of course, I remember. Otherwise, I wouldn't have locked the bathroom door...."
"Then next time, lock your bedroom door too."
"Did it work?"
"No."
The question and answer between Liu Haoyu and Zhou Min almost made Zhou Min jump up and smack the man sitting next to the private pool and looking at her openly.
In Zhou Min's head, the system babbled and cheered. "Host, you've finally realised that the male lead always likes to tease you, haven't you noticed?"
"But you still haven't told me how you got in..." Zhou Min had been fretting at this, and Liu Haoyu laughed lightly.
"You saw it, didn't you? I walked in. I'm past the age of climbing walls and singing love songs."
"I don't believe it. You wouldn't be able to climb walls and sing love songs no matter your age, would you?"
Zhou Min almost coughed up a mouthful of blood at Liu Haoyu's explanation and then mindlessly blurted out her contempt.
"It seems that you are beginning to understand me...., and if we get to know each other better, we will understand each other better....," Liu Haoyu gently smiled as he took a sip of red wine.
"I don't care. Who wants to understand you....." Zhou Min's words made Liu Haoyu suddenly draw close to Zhou Min. The sudden approach scared Zhou Min, sending chills down her back. Looking directly into Liu Haoyu's unconcealed eyes, Zhou Min realised what she had just said.
"This, in fact... I am... that, you know... girls just like to.... well, play around... right, that... I just have a mouth that runs loose...," Zhou Min's spineless words made Liu Haoyu suddenly place a heavy kiss on Zhou Min's forehead.
"How on earth did you get the name of Ice Goddess from the boys at Qing University?" Liu Haoyu suddenly asked, making her face heat up.
Could she say that her former persona had been crumbling since she arrived?
She wanted to retaliate, but instead, Zhou Min secretly gave Liu Haoyu a fierce glance. Her heart was bitter. It was all the male protagonist's fault when she saw the male protagonist; her personality collapsed!
Zhou Min thought it was a secret, but she didn't realise that Liu Haoyu easily read her expression. Her thoughts were written all over. With a slight smile on his lips, he raised his head to clean up the remaining red wine in the wine glass, then placed the wine glass by the medicinal pool.
He bent over, approached Zhou Min, and blocked her bright red lips.
The red wine's astringent and sweet, mellow taste stimulated and warmed her taste buds. The kiss with the fragrance of the wine made Zhou Min slightly drunk.
He opened her mouth, and she unconsciously relented. She let the gentle, flexible tongue curl around her mouth, sucking and lingering until Zhou Min's breathing became laboured, then Liu Haoyu released her.
"What?" Zhou Min came back to her senses and seemingly having heard Liu Haoyu mutter something. But the words were as if they were in her mouth, so she did not listen to them clearly; thus, she could not help but ask again.
"You should come out when you're done! It's not good to soak in this hot spring for a long time ......," said Liu Haoyu, smiling as he resumed his posture against the wall. He looked at the girl who was turning red in the hot spring.
"But you... Oh!" Zhou Min wanted to say that although she hadn't heard what he was trying to say, it definitely wasn't this sentence. There hadn't been that many words when he had murmured with his lips over hers!
But seeing the deep, dark eyes of Liu Haoyu, she couldn't ask anything...
Zhou Min was helpless, Liu Haoyu was clearly perfunctory with his words. Even if she could hear it, what could she do? He did not want to say them again. Could she still force him to speak?
"The houses here are all connected, and I had no intention of letting anyone in this villa. I'm alone. Do I need any precautions? That's why I said it wasn't necessary when you said you wanted to choose a guest bedroom, because, as far as I'm concerned, there's no room here that I can't go to if I want to. ...... And even if there were guests, they wouldn't know the codes of the room, because the doors to each room are different…."
Damn you!
The sudden explanation of Liu Haoyu made Zhou Min even more sure that Liu Haoyu was a black deep-sea octopus dressed in elegance all the time. Black from inside to outside ......
This was no privacy at all. Did she have to knock on the walls every day from now on to see if they were hollow? The thought of this vast villa made her instantly roll her eyes. If she did that, she wouldn't have to do anything but bang on the walls every day ......
"I want you to respect my privacy."
Zhou Min felt that this matter must be made clear to Liu Haoyu; she didn't want to be suddenly like this from time to time!
Haoyu smiled, placed two goblets on the edge of the sink and elegantly uncorked the red wine.
"Sure, you can have all the privacy you want here." The words of Liu Haoyu, which he said with such callousness, caused Zhou Min's mind, which was already prepared for a protracted battle, to collapse in an instant ......
"This, this is promised?" Zhou Min asked in disbelief.
The blood-red liquid slowly poured into the goblet, making waves in the clear glass of the goblet, and under the light of the lamp, it looked like red agate, beautiful and crystal clear.
"You don't know me well enough." Haoyu gave her a meaningful look.
Zhou Min's heart skipped a beat.
It was true, or rather, she thought she understood, whether it was now or once, but did she? Comparing the image of Liu Haoyu in her previous life and the image of the cheerful, warm boy with a smile when she was a child with the image of Liu Haoyu now after seeing him again ......
She didn't know if that was the side he wanted to show her or if he was deliberately leaving her a false image ...... but whichever it was, intuitively, she felt that the Liu Haoyu in this villa seemed to be unveiling his true face layer by layer ......
For the first time in history, Zhou Min felt that this kind of Liu Haoyu seemed more frightening and dangerous than ever. He had locked himself away in a place where no one could touch him, decaying or sleeping ...... and now he was going to pull out the person who was buried ...... It felt like a horror movie ......
"What's on your mind? I called you several times, but you didn't return to attention" Liu Haoyu handed a glass of red wine to Zhou Min. His eyes were deep and dark. It was impossible to see what his intention was.
She couldn't tell what his thoughts were, but there was an elegant smile on the corner of her mouth, polite and distant.
Zhou Min had the feeling that Liu Haoyu was angry now, but why?
The original dark eyes of Liu Haoyu saw Zhou Min again lost in thought and could not help but start brewing a storm. The hand holding the wine glass could not help but tighten, but his body was more relaxed than before, and the tone of voice was more casual as he asked, "What kind of person makes you so lost in thought, repeatedly dazed ......~~."
The person who was listening could not help but relax his guard, and Zhou Min was the same. She couldn't help but blurt out, "You!"
After Zhou Min came to her senses and realised what she had said, she was speechless for an instant. The storm in Liu Haoyu's eyes came and went quickly, and after Zhou Min replied without thinking, Liu Haoyu's expression was more sincere. He looked at Zhou Min and pulled her body which was about to submerge itself in the water again ......
This time, instead of letting her sit obediently in the hot spring, he took her into his arms, scaring Zhou Min so much that she didn't know whether to cover herself or cover Liu Haoyu's incredibly aggressive eyes!
In Liu Haoyu's eyes, Zhou Min's embarrassment was unusually vivid and happy. Holding the person in his arms, pulling his black bathrobe with one hand, hugging the person into the bathrobe... a bathrobe, two people, the touch of the body's skin, the burning made Zhou Min even more overwhelmed. She arched randomly, only to get a slap on her buttocks from Liu Haoyu without mercy!
Zhou Min was furious, her parents hadn't spanked her for a long time since she started studying, but she didn't expect to be spanked when she was doing her job. …… It was really unbearable ......
As Zhou Min tried to resist, Liu Haoyu looked at her face full of shame and anger and couldn't help but laugh, "If you keep moving like this, I'll think you're seducing me with lust ......".
He said while bringing Zhou Min's lower body closer to his own desire, which had already begun to invigorate. Zhou Min instantly extinguished the fire, weeping and laughing, looking up at Liu Haoyu like, "You dare move again…."
