Luo Ziling suddenly felt his mind go blank and stood there foolishly, not knowing what to do.
So did Ouyang Huihui.
Luo Ziling was the first to snap out of it. He pushed Ouyang Huihui, who was in his arms, away and asked somewhat frantically, “Should we hurry back to the dorm to change clothes?”
As Luo Ziling pushed her away and she heard what he said, Ouyang Huihui, who was in a state of confusion, also came to her senses. She stood still in a fluster and hugged her chest, “I’m not going back to the dorm, I can’t go back…”
If she returned to the dorm looking like this, it would be utterly embarrassing; her reputation would be completely destroyed.
Her mind was somewhat blank as she didn’t know how to cope with what had just happened. She didn’t even realize what she had grabbed, nor what Luo Ziling had done to her.
“Then where should we go?” Luo Ziling fully understood why Ouyang Huihui didn’t want to go back to the dorm.
Ouyang Huihui didn’t know how to respond; her instincts told her she should go home to change clothes. But it was already past eight in the evening, and it would be at least ten o’clock by the time she went home and came back. The apartment building would have long been closed.
It was too late to go home to change clothes, and she couldn’t go back to the dorm or it would be too shameful. So, where else could she go?
Ouyang Huihui didn’t answer, and Luo Ziling also didn’t know where to go, simply staring blankly at the disheveled Ouyang Huihui.
Not only was Ouyang Huihui’s dress wet, but it was also stained, and even her hair was mostly damp, with leaves that had somehow gotten entangled in it. Luo Ziling reached out to take a few of the leaves that were sticking to Ouyang Huihui’s hair.
This action made Ouyang Huihui tense up, thinking he was going to take advantage of her, and she almost screamed.
Upon realizing that Luo Ziling was merely removing the leaves that got stuck in her hair, she breathed a sigh of relief.
But then she was filled with distress, annoyed that such disgusting things had gotten stuck in her hair.
Apart from the leaves, who knows what else might be there.
Even if there was nothing else, she still felt disgusted. Although the water of Lake Wuming wasn’t very dirty, it was definitely not clean either, at least in Ouyang Huihui’s eyes, the water of Lake Wuming was quite disgusting.
Unable to return to the dormitory and running out of time to go home for a change, her whole body a mess, Ouyang Huihui felt so embarrassed she almost cried.
Seeing Ouyang Huihui looking so aggrieved, pitifully standing there hugging herself with her dress clinging to her body, Luo Ziling’s resentment towards her had disappeared without a trace.
Suddenly he had an idea and blurted it out, “How about we rent a room so you can take a shower, wash your clothes, and dry them with a dryer or a hairdryer before going back to the dorm to sleep? How does that sound?”
Hearing Luo Ziling suggest renting a room, Ouyang Huihui was startled and quickly shook her head, “No way!”
Her rejection was firm.
What a joke, how could she possibly rent a room with Luo Ziling, that jerk?
“Then what do you suggest?” Ouyang Huihui refused his suggestion, and Luo Ziling felt quite wronged, “Or you can try to sneak back into your room unnoticed. I don’t mind, they won’t find me!”Y0u can read sh0rt, t0uching, and r0mantic st0ries ab0ut c0uples, as well as children’s st0ries f0r free 0n sitest0rys . c0m
Luo Ziling thought it wouldn’t be hard to sneak back into his room unnoticed.
He could climb in through a window or sneak back while his dorm mates had turned off the lights and gone to sleep.
Or he could simply knock them out.
It wouldn’t matter if they saw him; he could just make up an excuse, such as someone had splashed a bucket of water on him when he was at the bottom of the apartment building, and he got wet as a result.
His clothes weren’t completely soaked, so this explanation would hold up reasonably well.
But as Ouyang Huihui was thoroughly drenched, there was no way she could explain it away with any excuse.
Ouyang Huihui looked conflicted, not sure how to respond to Luo Ziling.
“You better decide quick; it’s already past eight,” Luo Ziling said, taking out his phone to check the time, getting a bit anxious.
“Okay, fine, let’s rent a room!” Ouyang Huihui finally made up her mind through gritted teeth.
If they rented a room and Luo Ziling dared to make a move, she would call the police, or call her sister.
She touched the small bag slung over her shoulder, glad that when she fell into the lake and was pulled up by Luo Ziling, she hadn’t thrown away this bag, which contained her phone and other valuables. She hoped water hadn’t seeped in and that her phone hadn’t been water damaged.
“How about this, you drive away, and I’ll help you rent the room. Then you can enter by yourself, take your shower and wash your clothes, and then come back on your own. I won’t accompany you to the room, okay?” Luo Ziling had no intention of accompanying Ouyang Huihui into a rented room; he just saw that Ouyang Huihui was all wet and kindly suggested to go to a hotel and rent a room.
His willingness to help only extended so far as getting her to the front desk to rent a room and leave after getting the room card, leaving the rest for Ouyang Huihui to handle.
This statement made Ouyang Huihui a bit stunned; she had suddenly realized that she had misunderstood. That jerk wasn’t planning on renting a room with her but was just willing to accompany her there and leave the rest to her.
Thinking this, she felt frustrated inside, “You want me to come back alone, aren’t you afraid I’ll encounter bad people?”
This feeling of being rejected made Ouyang Huihui very uncomfortable.
“What do you suggest, then?” Luo Ziling felt it was indeed a bit too much to leave Ouyang Huihui on her own to go back to school.
After all, he was a male, and Ouyang Huihui was a female who needed to be protected.
It was only right for him to ensure her safety back to the dormitory.
“How about I wait for you in the hotel lobby, and you contact me after you’re done, how about that?” After some thought, Luo Ziling came up with this suggestion.
“No,” Ouyang Huihui refused his suggestion angrily, “When I take a shower, you have to stay by my side.”
The words that blurted out made Ouyang Huihui surprised herself, and her face immediately flushed red.
