The next morning, the heavy rain outside had tapered off, leaving behind misty sunlight and a chill in the air.
Summer had passed, and the cold, sorrowful autumn had quietly arrived.
"Shen Pig, you're pressing my hair again~"
On the hotel's large bed, Shen Lang was woken up by Su Lexuan's sleepy mumblings. As he opened his eyes, he saw her exquisite, beautiful face.
Shen Lang had his arm around Su Lexuan, using it as a pillow, and was pressing down on a lot of her dark hair.
He gently lifted her head, pulled his arm away, and rubbed it vigorously to get rid of the numb feeling.
Just then, Su Lexuan's phone rang.
Su Lexuan lazily tapped Shen Lang, turned over, and didn't want to answer it.
Shen Lang had no choice but to get out of bed and, after searching through Su Lexuan's warm clothes, found her phone with a Pikachu cartoon cover.
Luckily, the caller wasn't Su Lexuan's parents but her best friend, Ye Xinxin. Otherwise, Shen Lang wouldn't have dared to answer.
Since it was a close friend, Shen Lang wasn't too worried and answered the call without hesitation.
"Hey, Xuan, aren't you coming to school today? Do you want me to help you ask for leave from the advisor?"
Shen Lang glanced at Su Lexuan, who was sound asleep on the bed, and proudly said, "Xinxin? It's Shen Lang. I'm with Lexuan in the hotel."
There was a long silence on the other end, and Shen Lang could even hear the surprised voices of Xinxin's roommates.
"Damn, really? Lexuan and Shen Lang are at a hotel?"
"Damn, so jealous! I should have asked Lexuan to help me out too!"
"Qiao Qiao, do you have no shame? Why didn't you ask Shen Lang to call your name to include you a bit?"
"Shen Lang, you're something!"
Ye Xinxin finally spoke up, "So you took my friend to the hotel after meeting the parents, huh? You better treat us to a meal next Saturday!"
"No problem, anything you want to eat!"
Shen Lang smugly hung up the phone and snuggled back into the bed, embracing Su Lexuan's warm, slender body with affection.
"Hey, what's the matter~ I was sleeping so well."
Su Lexuan woke up from Shen Lang's actions.
She didn't care about being naked, looking drowsy and silly at Shen Lang.
"Your friend called."
Shen Lang rubbed Su Lexuan's slightly swollen eyes and looked at her quietly. "She said I should treat them to a meal."
"Sure..."
Looking at Shen Lang up close and feeling his strong arms, Su Lexuan gradually woke up, her mind filled with the events of the previous night, and her face blushed slightly.
After a moment, Su Lexuan took Shen Lang's hand and gave it a light bite, then cupped his face with a serious, affectionate look.
"Shen Pig, I gave you everything last night. You have to treat me well from now on..."
Shen Lang, feeling a bit cheesy, said, "Of course, have you ever seen a goblin abandon its fairy?"
"I don't understand these things~."
Su Lexuan laughed and complained, then, somewhat surprised and shy, said, "I thought it would hurt a lot, but it was so easy. Guess the movies are lying."
They had been together for quite a while and had taken things to the next level last night. Talking about such intimate topics didn't seem vulgar to Su Lexuan, as they were still cuddling.
"It didn't hurt, but you scratched me. Look at what you did."
Shen Lang complained, touching the scratch marks on his neck. "If someone saw this, they'd think I was fighting with a girl!"
Shen Lang's neck and back were covered with light but visible scratch marks, all courtesy of Su Lexuan.
Su Lexuan hesitated, "Who made you..."
"Annoying!"
Su Lexuan, blushing, pressed her face against Shen Lang's chest, bit him lightly on the arm, and said, "Hmph, pervert, I'll bite you to death."
After a few tender moments in bed, Su Lexuan suddenly peered out from under the covers with cautious eyes, quickly scanning the room for hidden cameras, nervously saying.
"Shen Lang, are there any cameras in this room? I've seen in a lot of movies that people get secretly filmed by hidden hotel cameras!"
"Oh, I thought it was something serious."
Shen Lang laughed and said, "Where would there be so many cameras? You watch too many movies."
Of course, just to be safe, Shen Lang used his divine eyes to scan the room and didn't find any pinhole cameras.
After all, this was a well-known hotel in Jianghai City, with a luxurious room costing up to five thousand bucks a night. How could such a cheap thing be here?
"What if there really are some?"
Su Lexuan pulled back into the covers, seriously saying, "If we get recorded and they threaten us for money, or they post the video online, we're screwed!"
"Let them post it. What's the big deal?"
Shen Lang shrugged dismissively, "If they really want to upload it, I'll just tell them to make sure to edit it well and not make me look bad."
"Hahaha, you're crazy!"
Su Lexuan laughed brightly, then patted Shen Lang's arm with a familiar tone, "Oh, you're so annoying. You pressed my hair again."
