The one who opened the door was a handsome and refined-looking man, appearing to be around twenty years old, caught between youth and adulthood. He carried a hint of maturity and stability without losing the sense of youthfulness.
He seemed like an elegant and noble son that stepped out of a novel, exuding an air of unparalleled beauty and grace.
However, this young master seemed to be in a bit of an inconvenient situation now.
His bathrobe hung loosely on him, and water droplets from his hair continued to slide down his handsome face, flowing over the slightly open bathrobe on his chest, ultimately disappearing into the fair skin.
In reality, not much of the bathrobe was open, revealing only a glimpse of his fair chest and even the collarbone was subtly visible. Yet, it looked very... captivating.
Ruan Qing didn’t expect to witness this scene, a faint unnatural blush appearing on his delicate face. He instinctively averted his gaze and then somewhat awkwardly handed over the certificate and prizes he held.
“Um... the counselor asked me to give this to you.”
Ruan Qing feared that the person in front of him might not know what this was, so he quickly added, “It’s the certificate and prizes you won in the competition a few days ago.”
The man knew someone was coming to deliver the certificate and prizes; after all, the counselor had informed him more than two hours ago.
The certificate and prizes might be crucial and precious to other students, but for him, they were just optional.
So, he refused them at the first opportunity.
However, the counselor insisted that his ‘kind-hearted roommate’ had already set off.
Kind-hearted? Roommate?
Well, he had never lived in the dorms, so where did this roommate come from?
It was just an attempt to establish a connection with him during this opportunity.
He had encountered plenty of people trying to climb the social ladder.
Ever since the news of him being the first heir of the Qi Group spread in the school, many had tried all sorts of ways to suck up to him.
That’s precisely why he was too lazy to attend classes anymore. After all, he had already self-studied what the school taught.
He didn’t bother informing the security, thinking this ‘kind-hearted’ roommate would give up once unable to enter.
But he didn’t expect the counselor to give out his personal phone number.
Not many people knew his private number; generally, only important individuals would call him on his private phone.
So, even though he had just finished showering, he answered the incessantly ringing phone with a hint of impatience, fearing he might miss something important.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be his ‘kind-hearted’ roommate.
In reality, when the other person spoke the first sentence, the man should have ruthlessly hung up, as he usually did, giving no one any chance.
But for some reason, he patiently listened to the other person, even inexplicably instructing the driver to pick him up.
It felt somewhat inexplicable, like being under a spell.
After hanging up the phone, the man, expressionless, thought it was probably because of the other person’s voice, which perfectly matched his preferences and fantasies.
Cool with a hint of tenderness, like a beautiful musical note, it immersed people upon hearing, involuntarily making them want to continue listening.
The other person’s voice might be suitable for singing sweet love songs.
However, he didn’t like sweet love songs and didn’t want to get to know this ‘kind-hearted’ roommate.
Just let the person deliver the things and leave.
Before opening the door, the man had thought this way. After all, he hadn’t wanted to get involved with someone who followed the trend and sought favor from others.
But...
The roommate’s voice seemed even more pleasant in person, many times better than the distorted sound on the phone.
Even just speaking, it was as if stepping on beautiful musical notes, providing an auditory pleasure.
Usually, such a voice would make the man think it’s suitable for singing, but the young man’s voice was more than that.
His voice, though sounding like exquisite musical notes, lacked innocence. His voice seemed capable of weaving a magnificent dream for people.
Just listening made one want to sink with him, even unwilling to wake up.
In short, it could arouse the most primal desires in the depths of one’s heart.
Even if the man had never considered matters of love and romance, he couldn’t help but think that the young man’s voice might be more suitable for emitting certain fragmented and enticing moans.
Perhaps low moans weren’t entirely dirty.
At least not if they’re coming from the young man’s mouth.
Although he hadn’t heard them yet.
The man, with a mysterious and obscure expression, looked at the obviously shy young man. After listening to the young man’s words, he slightly lowered his gaze to the certificate in the young man’s hand and the delicate, fair, and beautiful fingers holding it.
The man used to despise others touching his piano, as it was considered the essence of his life. Even a slight touch from someone else made him unwilling to keep that piano.
However, the young man’s hands seemed suitable for playing the piano.
Even though the man hadn’t seen it before, an image had already formed in his mind: the young man sitting in front of his beloved piano, hands resting on the keys, playing.
It was beautiful...
But just like his voice, it made the man want to press him onto the favorite piano, making him unable to resist emitting a low moan.
Maybe adding a hint of a sob would be even better.
Perhaps not being able to articulate and just gasping would also be fine.
The man concealed the expression in his eyes. Instead of reaching for what the young man held in his hands, he gazed for a few seconds and then averted his eyes, opening the door.
“I’m all wet; it’s inconvenient to take it. Come in first.”
Ruan Qing’s gaze fell on one of the man’s hands, which wasn’t too wet, probably dried by the bathrobe when he wore it. Taking the certificates shouldn’t make it wet either.
There weren’t many certificates and prizes, so one hand could easily take them.
However, just as Ruan Qing was about to speak, he saw the man’s slightly wet hair fall down and block his eyes, prompting him to instinctively brush it aside.
Now, even if it wasn’t wet before, it was wet now.
Ruan Qing hesitated for a moment, but eventually went in with the certificate and prizes.
After Ruan Qing entered the room, the man closed the door.
Ruan Qing had only taken a few steps when he heard the sound of the door closing. He turned to look at the man coming towards him and the closed door, feeling a strange sense of unease and nervousness from the bottom of his heart.
Why, why close the door?
He just came to deliver something and would leave after that.
...Maybe it was because this Qi Shen didn’t like to keep the door open.
And his current appearance indeed wasn’t suitable for an open door. Clearly, the timing of his visit was not right.
If only he had come tomorrow.
Ruan Qing pursed his lips, withdrew his gaze, and walked towards the table next to the bed, holding the things in his hands.
He intended to put the things on the table and leave.
After all, it was already around nine o’clock in the evening, and if he didn’t hurry back to school, he wouldn’t be able to return to the dormitory.
Staying in a hotel outside would be costly, and he didn’t want to waste his living expenses on that.
Probably because Ruan Qing was in a hurry and didn’t pay much attention to the ground. As he was about to reach the table, he unexpectedly stepped on a bead.
His foot slipped, and he fell forward uncontrollably.
Ruan Qing didn’t have time to think about why there was suddenly a bead on the floor. He stared wide-eyed at the table corner, his pupils shrinking, instinctively grabbing onto something nearby.
Trying to stabilize himself.
Because if he fell like that, his head would definitely hit the table corner.
With some luck, he might just get a cut, but if luck wasn’t on his side, he could end up knocking himself dead.
It wouldn’t matter if he died, but the problem was, if he died here, it would definitely cause trouble for others.
Fortunately, in his panic, Ruan Qing managed to grab onto something. Then, something wrapped around his waist, altering the direction of his fall.
Ruan Qing instinctively closed his eyes and finally landed on the clean, white bed.
After realizing that he didn’t experience much pain, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, halfway through exhaling, he froze.
Because the sensation was off. He didn’t seem to have just fallen onto the bed.
It was damp, soft, and had warmth.
Ruan Qing had a somewhat uneasy feeling in his heart. He slowly opened his eyes, and a handsome and delicate face of a man was very close to him.
Close, as in right beneath him.
Ruan Qing: “Σ(°△°|||)︴”
Ruan Qing stared blankly at the white strap in his hand, then looked at the man whose robe had completely opened due to him pulling off the belt. Even the man was now pinned beneath him.
Apparently, the thing he had just grabbed was... the belt of the man’s bathrobe.
What’s even more troublesome was that he had pressed the man onto the bed.
And one end of the belt was still in his hand.
It seemed like Qi Shen probably saw that he was about to fall and came over to try to catch him.
However, as soon as Qi Shen approached, he grabbed the belt of his bathrobe and pulled him down onto the bed.
The current position of the two was quite awkward.
Due to the bath, the man naturally wore nothing inside his robe, and now the robe has completely opened, providing no coverage.
One end was still in Ruan Qing’s hand, and the man’s handsome face showed a hint of pain, with his deep eyes squinting slightly.
It’s as if Ruan Qing was trying to take advantage of the man, and in a forceful manner.
Ruan Qing’s delicate face instantly turned red. After realizing what had happened, he immediately released the grip on the man’s belt and quickly got up from the bed.
Then, with a face full of blush, Ruan Qing turned around, stammering as he spoke, sounding a bit confused and embarrassed, “I-I’m sorry.”
“I didn’t mean to, really sorry.”
He genuinely didn’t mean to. He had clearly looked at the path before and hadn’t seen any beads on the floor.
But he ended up stepping on one while walking.
Perhaps the bead and the floor had similar colors, causing him not to notice.
But then, the bead he had stepped on had slipped away, and he couldn’t determine if it was because the color had been too similar.
There’s no way to explain this issue.
Yet, even so, Ruan Qing wanted to explain. Otherwise, falling on a flat surface would make it seem like he had ulterior motives.
“When I walked over just now, I accidentally stepped on a bead, so I couldn’t keep my balance and fell. It really wasn’t intentional.”
However, after saying this, Ruan Qing didn’t hear any response from the man or any movement.
Ruan Qing remembered there seemed to be a phone on the bed just now, right in the spot where the man’s head fell.
But would falling on the bed cause an impact?
Ruan Qing didn’t think so, but the man’s face did show a bit of pain just now.
...Could it be that he really hit his head?
