At this moment, he was standing at the doorway, wearing a white shirt and black pants, with a slender figure, sharp eyebrows and eyes, clean and distinct facial features, and thin lips pressed into a straight line. In his hand, he held a black plastic bag, the contents of which were unknown. Shi Lin's gaze, dark and penetrating, seemed to hide a spark, causing Lin Mian to quickly avert her eyes. "Dr. Shi, off work?" Qin Li noticed his momentary pause, then smiled and greeted him. Shi Lin unlocked the door with his fingerprint and replied, "Back from overseas?" "Yes," Qin Li nodded, then glanced at Lin Mian and said with a smile, "Mainly because I was worried about Mian, so I came back a few days early. Speaking of which, I have to thank Dr. Shi for taking care of her high fever and arranging for her mother's hospitalization. You've really done me a great favor. Let's have a meal together to express my gratitude." Shi Lin's lips twitched as his gaze swept over Lin Mian. "The person you should thank is not me, it's her." Lin Mian felt the directness of his gaze and straightened her back. "Dr. Shi is right, I should be the one treating you to a meal to express my gratitude." "It's okay, there's always tomorrow." Shi Lin looked meaningfully at her, the unknown emotions in his eyes sending a shiver down Lin Mian's spine. Before she could respond, Shi Lin opened the door and went in. With a "bang," the door closed neither heavily nor lightly. Lin Mian let out a sigh of relief, her tense heart slightly relaxing. She was truly afraid that man would say something inappropriate in front of Qin Li.
After all, last night, when he was enjoying it, he always insinuated Qin Li in a weird way. It felt dangerous.
"Mian, are you afraid of him or did something else happen between you two?" Qin Li seemed to sense something and asked her softly, lifting his gaze.
"No, nothing happened," Lin Mian instinctively distanced herself, "Maybe it's because Dr. Shi has a strong aura and a cold demeanor. I feel a bit uncomfortable talking to him."
"Well, he has a cold and heavy personality, not easy to get along with. If you're not comfortable being neighbors with him, I'll arrange for you to move to another dormitory later." Lin Mian nodded in agreement, "Okay."
Qin Li wanted to say something more, but his phone rang in his pocket, the ringtone sounding unfamiliar.
His expression changed, and he had to bid farewell to Lin Mian, "I have work to attend to, so I have to leave now. Keep this money, I'll come back to see you tomorrow."
Lin Mian refused to take his money, "I don't want it." She had her stubbornness, and no one could convince her otherwise when she was determined.
In the end, Qin Li had no choice but to take back the money. The phone rang incessantly, prompting him to quickly say a few words to Lin Mian before answering the call and leaving in a hurry.
Only after watching him enter the elevator, did Lin Mian breathe a sigh of relief. As she turned to close the door, a hand reached out from behind and wrapped around her waist, pulling her into the room in a flash.
In an instant, Lin Mian was pressed against the door panel, everything spinning around her.
"What are you doing!?"
Lin Mian was startled, not needing to even look to know who the person was.
"Doing you."
The man uttered in a low voice, gripping her face and forcefully kissing her lips.
"Mmm—"
His kiss was dominant and forceful, tinged with a hint of anger, spinning and pressing heavily, almost as if he wanted to swallow her whole.
Lin Mian quickly couldn't resist, letting out a low whimper, trying to push against his chest with her hands.
But Shi Lin didn't let her go.
His tall figure allowed her to struggle in vain, pressing down on her like a mountain, doing as he pleased.
The vast difference in physical strength between a man and a woman meant she couldn't resist at all, only allowing him to kiss her recklessly, his overbearing breath dominating her nostrils.
After a while, Shi Lin finally released her lips and lifted his head.
His eye sockets were a bit red, and his pitch-black eyes shimmered with traces of anger, mixed with a desire that hinted at something broken.
"It's nine o'clock," he said, "I can proceed now."
Lin Mian widened her eyes, about to say something, when a knocking sound came from outside the door.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
"Mian, are you inside?"
The knocking reverberated, sending shivers down her spine through the door, freezing Lin Mian in place.
Outside, it was Qin Li's voice!
How did he come back again!?
Lin Mian couldn't care about anything else, and tried to push Shi Lin away with her hand, but he exerted more force and pinned her against the door, rendering her unable to move.
The sound of the man's hot breath flowed into her ears like a whisper.
"What's the rush, keep going."
