Ye Cangtian, clad only in swim trunks, wandered the hallway, idly smoking a cigarette.
After a long wait, Xu Weiwei finally opened her room door for him.
She had changed out of her previous pajamas. Now, a bath towel was wrapped around her chest, and it seemed to struggle to contain certain proud areas.
Ye Cangtian couldn't help but stare.
"What are you looking at? Go wash up. I... I'm going to sleep!" Xu Weiwei's face flushed under his gaze. Flustered, she blurted out the words and dove under the covers.
Ye Cangtian chuckled and couldn't resist asking, "When I'm showering, you're not going to peek, are you?"
"No!"
Xu Weiwei's face darkened. She couldn't exactly wait in the hallway wrapped only in a towel, could she?
Ye Cangtian grinned, showing his teeth, and turned to head to the bathroom to shower.
Truth be told, it was impossible for him to not have some thoughts about sharing a couple's room with Xu Weiwei. He was a normal man, after all!
So, at that moment, he was feeling a little excited!
However, when he emerged from the bathroom, wrapped in a towel, he saw a simple makeshift bed laid out on the floor beneath the main bed. His mood instantly soured.
Seeing his dumbfounded expression, Xu Weiwei poked her head out from under the covers. With a blush, she said, "You're sleeping there tonight. If you dare to get on the bed, don't blame me for being rude!"
Although Ye Cangtian was a little disappointed, he wasn't overly surprised!
After all, they weren't husband and wife, nor were they a couple. It was natural that Xu Weiwei wouldn't let him sleep on the bed.
Still, he didn't mind teasing her a bit, and asked with a smile, "How will you be rude?"
Xu Weiwei reached under her pillow and pulled out the handgun she had found. She pointed it at a certain area of Ye Cangtian's body and declared, "If you dare to be dishonest, I'll shoot it full of holes!"
"..."
Ye Cangtian instinctively covered himself with his hand, feeling a chill in his heart. This girl was too ruthless!
However, even though he was sleeping on the floor, the hotel floor was covered with a carpet, and now a bedsheet was spread over it, so it wasn't too cold to sleep on.
Ye Cangtian wasn't particularly bothered about sleeping conditions. He lay down, pulled the covers over him, and soon fell asleep.
But Xu Weiwei couldn't sleep!
She had just gone through a great escape tonight, and now she was sharing a couple's room with a man of the opposite sex. Even though one slept on the bed and the other on the floor, she felt very awkward.
After all, this was the first time she had slept in the same room as a man. The feeling was like a first date, and her heart was pounding.
"Ye Cangtian!"
"Are you asleep?"
She called out twice, but there was no response!
Xu Weiwei poked her head out and glanced at the floor. Seeing that the guy seemed to be genuinely asleep, she slowly let out a sigh of relief.
However, she muttered under her breath, "This guy, sleeping like a pig!"
...
Dawn had broken.
Xu Weiwei woke up groggily and realized her bath towel had been kicked off somewhere.
This was quite normal for her, as she slept very casually at home, often waking up in the middle of the night to find her covers kicked aside.
But waking up this morning was different. Not only was the bath towel gone, but her blanket was neatly covering her.
Ye Cangtian was nowhere to be seen in the room. She wondered where he had gone.
Xu Weiwei sat up and looked at her completely exposed body under the covers, her face flushing crimson with embarrassment.
Hadn't she kicked her blanket off last night?
Had that guy seen her when he woke up this morning?
But her blanket was covering her well. He must not have seen anything, Xu Weiwei reassured herself, letting out a heavy sigh of relief.
After getting up, she changed into the pajamas she had brought from home the previous night. Still feeling uneasy, she wrapped another bath towel around herself before finally getting out of bed to wash up.
After she finished, she heard the sound of a card being swiped on the door. Then, she saw Ye Cangtian walking in with breakfast.
Xu Weiwei asked, "Where did you go?"
"Buying you breakfast!" Ye Cangtian glanced at her and found it amusing to see her wrapped up as if preparing for winter.
"Oh!"
Xu Weiwei nodded, then, feeling a little embarrassed, she stammered, "By the way, did I... did I do anything... undignified while sleeping last night?"
When she brought this up, Ye Cangtian's mind conjured up a scene that made him want to get a nosebleed.
This girl wasn't just undignified; her sleeping posture was completely irresistible!
At least, Ye Cangtian had admired her for a good half hour until his throat was dry. Only then did he cover her with the blanket and cautiously leave to buy breakfast.
Of course, he couldn't say any of this out loud.
So, facing Xu Weiwei's question, he put on a serious demeanor and replied, "No, you were covered up tightly, as if you were afraid I'd see anything."
Hearing Ye Cangtian's answer, Xu Weiwei's heart was finally put at ease.
She opened the breakfast he had bought. Truthfully, she was quite hungry, as the escape the previous night had consumed a lot of energy.
However, as she ate, she found it strange that Ye Cangtian kept looking her up and down. She frowned and asked, "What are you staring at?"
"Ahem, nothing!" Ye Cangtian looked up at the sky.

It was impossible for Xu Weiwei to leave the hotel wearing only her pajamas.
So, she had to ask Ye Cangtian to go back and get her clothes.
When Ye Cangtian returned to the apartment complex, the entire area had been cordoned off with police tape, and he saw many police officers collecting evidence within the complex.
"I heard there was a shootout in our complex last night. This morning, there are shell casings everywhere!"
"No way? How come I didn't hear anything last night?"
"You were sleeping like a pig. But apparently, the criminals' guns had silencers, so the sound wasn't loud. It's really strange, you know? Many people knew something was happening last night and wanted to call the police, but there was no signal!"
As soon as he entered the complex, he overheard excited discussions between men, women, and children.
For these onlookers, shootouts were plots from TV shows. Ordinary citizens like them had never even seen one.
Now, it was happening in their own complex. These people were both worried and a little thrilled.
When Ye Cangtian reached Xu Weiwei's apartment door, several police officers were still taking photos in the living room. The officer named Xiao Liu was among them.
"Brother Ye, why are you here? Our deputy director..."
Ye Cangtian waved his hand and said, "Xu Weiwei is fine. You know what happened last night, right?"
Xiao Liu nodded, "We are still investigating the specifics of what happened. We only came after receiving a report this morning, and then we discovered that something had happened at the deputy director's home."
When the police arrived, they only found bloodstains in several places within the complex, as well as bullet casings and some bullet craters.
However, they found no bodies! Clearly, the bodies had been cleared by the Autobots the previous night.
The bodies were cleared, the complex lost power, the surveillance was damaged, and those individuals were wearing hoods.
After all, these guys were well-prepared and naturally wouldn't leave any clues behind.
Ye Cangtian was not surprised. After retrieving a set of clothes for Xu Weiwei, he hurried back to the hotel.
