Chapter 53
"Xiaoyu, I want orange juice!"
"Then I want coffee milk!"
"Fanta, the canned one~"
"Oh..."
Raina Nan sighed, got up, and walked towards the door.
The rule was set by Bell Tong, and they had to abide by it. This was the punishment for losing at the game of Landlord.
Although the school regulations stated that students could not leave their rooms after 9 o'clock, there were still many students in the corridor.
Some were chatting in the corridor, while others were leaning on the balcony and making phone calls. She walked past them, took a peek through the crack in the door, and was surprised to see someone having a concert in their room...
The vending machine was by the lobby on the first floor, so she went down in her slippers.
There were not many people in the lobby at this time, only the bartender and a few guests who had finished drinking beer and returned to the hotel.
"Orange juice...coffee milk...Fanta, Fanta..."
As she searched for the drinks in the vending machine.
"..."
After looking for a while, she finally noticed that the Fanta was in the top slot.
She tiptoed.
She could reach...
Thud
The sound of the drink falling, but it wasn't her who pressed the button.
Someone reached it before her and pressed the button for the Fanta.
She turned around.
It was Gu Zihang, wearing loose pajamas, standing behind her.
"It's you..."
"Yeah, it's me~ Here you go!"
Gu Zihang smiled and threw the can of Fanta into her hands.
"Thank you."
She said as she took out her wallet and took out some coins.
"No need, I'll treat you."
"Take it, I bought it for someone else."
She insisted and stuffed the money into his hands.
Then she turned to leave.
"Raina Nan!"
He suddenly called her, his voice tinged with impatience.
"What?"
"Well..."
He put his hands in his waistband and tapped his left foot.
"?"
He hesitated, as if he had something to say.
"..."
She watched him from a few meters away and remembered... this person was not the type to hesitate like this.
"Well, I guess you must think I'm just a superficial person..."
"..."
Seeing her silence, he continued:
"Well, I admit... I used to be, but this time I'm serious, and I've thought about it for a long time..."
"Uh..."
She swallowed nervously and became inexplicably tense.
"Hey, hey, wait a minute!"
"Huh..."
She paused, a little startled by his momentum.
"Raina Nan, um..."
His eyes roamed around, hesitating about something.
"..."
From several meters away, she looked at him. In her impression... this person wouldn't act so hesitantly.
"Well, you probably think I'm just a superficial person..."
"..."
When she didn't say anything, he continued to speak:
"Well, I admit... I used to be, but this time I'm serious, and I've thought about it for a long time..."
"Uh..."
She nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva and became even more nervous.
"Hey, hey, hey, is this for real?!"
A few boys were leaning against the door, peeking their heads into the lobby. They were all close friends of Gu Zihang.
"Tsk tsk, here he comes."
"Can Zihang handle this situation? Wearing pajamas at a time like this! How silly!"
"Haha! That's right!"
"Shh! I can't hear anything!"
The boys widened their eyes and closely monitored the movements of the two.
They saw Gu Zihang as if he was about to make a move, closing his eyes, then taking a deep breath.
"Raina Nan! I like!!"
"Nan Yu~~~!!!"
A louder voice overwhelmed Gu Zihang's words.
"?!"
He was stunned, looking left and right.
"Nan Yu!! My little angel~!!"
"Who?"
Gu Zihang squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the voice, where a man with exaggerated curly hair was standing.
"Micheal...?"
"Oh, what a coincidence? Hmm~~~~NONONO~ this is fate~~"
"Ha..."
Raina Nan smiled bitterly, politely nodded.
"I have something to say."
At this time, Gu Zihang patted Micheal's shoulder.
"Hey buddy, didn't you see that we're busy? Don't you know to come later?"
"What??" Michael shrugged, looking at him as if he didn't quite understand.
"Um, this is Xiaoling's friend, he's a foreigner..."
Raina Nan quickly explained.
"Foreigner?" Gu Zihang squinted his eyes suspiciously, looking him up and down.
"Do you foreigners... wear sunglasses at night?"
"Is there a problem?"
"Nevermind, so, you're Bell Tong's friend, right? She's on the third floor."
"Yeah~~ I happen to live here too!!"
Michael clapped his hands and laughed.
However, he seemed to have missed the implied meaning in Gu Zihang's words.
"Well, that's good."
Gu Zihang felt annoyed, he bit his lip and pulled Michael to the side.
Whispering into his ear, he said:
"Listen, foreigner, I won't waste my words with you..."
"What?"
"I'll tell you."
"OH~boy~~~~~~~~~~ So that's how it is, I understand~~"
Michael raised his eyebrows, adjusted his hair a little, and revealed a sly smile.
"You... understood?"
He didn't even finish his sentence, but he understood?
"Yeah, of course. Or you can say, only I understand you~"
"Is that so?..."
"Oh, look, they're so cute~"
"What?"
Gu Zihang felt something rubbing against his butt, he turned around and it turned out to be the foreigner's hand!!
"Hey! What are you doing?!!"
"They look just like two delicious donuts, don't they?"
Michael looked at him with an ambiguous expression, so close that he could hear his heavy breathing.
"What the fuck!!"
He forcefully removed Michael's hand, took a few steps back, and stared at him in disbelief.
"Oh, I almost forgot, this isn't America, I must have been too straightforward! I apologize to you, my sweetheart~"
He said, bent down, and bowed like a gentleman.
"Go to hell!! This is so fucking disgusting!!"
Gu Zihang was going insane.
"You fucking gay!!"
After throwing those words, he left without looking back.
He found this place so disgusting that he couldn't stand another second...
"Hey, Hang-ge, what's wrong?"
"Just wait a minute!"
His lackeys followed after him.
...
The large hall instantly quieted down.
"What's wrong with him?"
Raina Nan couldn't hear what they were saying, but she saw Gu Zihang rushing off in an agitated state.
"It seems like there's something urgent. Let's not bother with him. Now it's just the two of us."
"What?"
"No... I mean, I can take you back now."
"Thank you... but boys can't go up to the third floor."
"Oh, I see."
Michael seemed somewhat disappointed.
"..."
Raina Nan suddenly fell silent and just stared at him.
"What's wrong?"
"Um, well... has your Chinese become more fluent?"
"Oh, really?... Thank you! I practice every day! Haha"
He went back to his broken accent...
"Um... Michael, may I ask... where in America are you from?"
"Where? It's, uh, that one... the one you all know! That famous one..."
He gestured, one hand on his waist, the other holding up a water bottle.
"New York?"
"Yes, yes, New York, New York!! Capital! The capital of the Great United States! Haha"
"..."
She didn't say anything, she looked up and stared into his eyes, unblinking.
For about two seconds, Michael looked away.
"Oh, I see. If I ever go to America next time, I'll come find you."She spoke, and in the next second, a faint smile appeared on her face again.
"Oh, no, it's no problem."
"Alright, goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Micheal stood still, her smile carrying a hint of coldness.
He could only watch her figure until she disappeared at the staircase.
...
"Yuyu hasn't come back yet, could she have run away~"
Bell Tong fanned herself while sitting on the floor casually. They had already played a few rounds of poker, but Yuyu still hadn't returned.
"I hope she hasn't encountered any danger! The teacher was talking about how this hotel is a mix of good and bad people today!"
Roxie Lin trembled as she looked at Bell Tong.
"Don't scare me like that, okay..."
Ding ding ding
An urgent ringtone echoed in the room.
Bell Tong trembled in fright.
"It's the phone..."
She picked up the phone and checked the name on it.
"..."
Her facial expression instantly froze.
"I...I'll take this call..."
"Oh."
She said and hurriedly ran out of the room.
"Who is it? Her boyfriend?"
The girl next to her teased and nudged Roxie Lin with her hand.
"Who knows..."
