Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 60: Don’t Play Like This, It’s Dangerous
Xue Yang held his breath. A pink flush crept up from his earlobes to cover his entire face, his hands tightening slightly as his breathing grew heavier.
Just when he thought Lin Xi would pounce on him like a ravenous wolf, she simply walked past him to grab the snacks and drinks that had been set to the side.
Sitting back down in the hot spring, Lin Xi held a plate of snacks and took a sip of her drink. "I was just getting something to eat. What were you thinking about just now?"
Xue Yang’s gaze drifted into the distance. "The scenery is beautiful."
Lin Xi leaned close, her warm breath ghosting across his face. "Is the scenery more beautiful, or am I?"
"..."
"Come on, tell me."
Xue Yang looked at the scenery close at hand and said frankly, "You’re more beautiful."
"Then look at me."
"..."
Forced to meet Lin Xi’s gaze, Xue Yang’s Adam’s apple bobbed.
"Are you nervous?"
Lin Xi took a step closer as Xue Yang took one back.
He picked up a drink from the tray and took a sip. "I just happened to be thirsty, too."
"But that’s the cup I was just drinking from," she purred. "And you say you’re not nervous?"
Xue Yang’s hand trembled slightly as he put the drink back down.
SPLASH! He shot up out of the hot spring, sending water cascading everywhere. "You shouldn’t soak for too long. You should probably get out soon, too."
Lin Xi watched his fleeing figure with a triumphant smile.
She’d never been in a relationship, but she did read novels. She could learn from the way female leads teased the male leads in stories and apply it to Xue Yang. She originally thought there would be a difference between novels and reality, but now it seemed that novels really did imitate life. Xue Yang... he was even easier to fluster than the male leads in her novels. Still, something was missing.
Lin Xi put the tray back on the side of the pool. Propping herself up with her hands, she leaned forward over the edge. Her chest was so ample that she had to rest it on the stone rim, letting her assets get some air.
If Xue Yang were to come back right now, he’d probably have a nosebleed on the spot.
Her fair, straight, long legs swirled lazily in the water, looking almost luminous. What snow-capped mountain scenery? Compared to this, it didn’t stand a chance.
Suddenly, with a sharp POP, all the lights in the hotel went out.
The entire Xiangshan Hotel was plunged into darkness.
Xue Yang had just reached the door to his room. When he saw what happened, he immediately turned and ran back.
That girl Lin Xi was terrified of the dark. With the sudden blackout, she must be scared to death.
Sure enough, before Xue Yang had run two steps, he heard Lin Xi’s frightened call.
"Xue Yang, where are you? I’m scared."
"Don’t be afraid, I’m coming!"
"Xue Yang, hurry over here!"
Her voice held the trace of a sob. She was clearly terrified.
Xue Yang ran to the edge of the hot spring and, without a second thought, plunged in with a splash. He tried to remember where she had been and began searching for her in the dark.
The hot spring wasn’t huge, but it wasn’t small either, and finding someone in the pitch-black darkness was still a challenge.
"Lin Xi, where are you? Make a sound so I can follow your voice to find you."
However, it was as if Lin Xi had vanished. No matter how much Xue Yang searched, he couldn’t find her.
Xue Yang panicked. He dove underwater to search, but it was early in the month and winter besides. Forget the moon, even seeing the stars was difficult. He groped around like a blind man, but his hands found nothing.
"Lin Xi!"
Just as he was about to climb out and search again, a soft hand suddenly slipped across his back and wrapped around his waist. A nimble body scrambled onto him, pressing tightly against him.
"Xue Yang, what took you so long? I was scared to death."
Xue Yang let out an internal sigh of relief. As if to punish her, he gave her bouncy bottom a firm smack.
"If you ever scare me like that again, it won’t be as simple as just a spanking."
Just now, he had really been frightened to death.
Xue Yang’s hand slid upward, grabbing her slender waist and skillfully turning her around to face him. In the darkness, they couldn’t see each other’s faces, only hear their breathing and smell the unique, clean fragrance of the other’s body.
Lin Xi pouted, sounding aggrieved. "I just wanted to play a little game with you."
"That’s not how you play games. It’s dangerous, don’t you know?"
"Then how should we play?"
"Like this!"
Xue Yang lowered his head slightly, accurately capturing her tempting lips and kissing her gently.
In the pitch-black, unlit hot spring, a hint of spring’s passion was quietly blooming. Outside the hotel, the evening wind raged, but in the hot spring, it was as if flowers were blossoming.
Suddenly, Xue Yang’s hand brushed against something round, like a small orb, with a slight bump in his palm. The strange sensation sent a jolt like electricity through his entire body, but it also restored a sliver of clarity to his mind.
Too reckless. The strap of Lin Xi’s swimsuit had come undone. Indeed, some games shouldn’t be started carelessly. Once they begin, they’re very hard to stop.
Just as he was about to move his hand, another soft hand pressed his in place.
"When we were buried in the snow, you promised me that once we were rescued, we’d be together—truly together. Don’t tell me you want to go back on your word?"
"Don’t mess around, you’re still young..."
"You know perfectly well whether I’m ’young’ or not, don’t you?"
"..."
They say once a girl decides to be bold, there’s nothing a guy can do about it. Xue Yang hadn’t quite believed it before, but now... now he was starting to.
This time, Lin Xi took the initiative, moving closer to Xue Yang and offering her lips to his.
The two of them kissed in the hot spring, lost in the moment and moving purely on instinct.
Suddenly, a professional voice interrupted their activities.
"Dear guests, we apologize for the inconvenience. The hotel has experienced a sudden electrical issue, leading to a brief power outage. We are sorry for the poor experience this has caused."
Lin Xi clung tightly to Xue Yang’s shoulder with one hand, while her other hand fumbled around, trying to find her runaway swimsuit.
"Xue Yang, what do we do?" she whispered. She had no desire to be put on display.
Xue Yang wasn’t faring much better, trying his best to appear unflustered.
"Shh! Don’t make a sound!"
Lin Xi’s eyes immediately brightened, and they both huddled down in the hot spring. It was, to say the least, a strangely thrilling feeling.
The staff member tried calling out again. "Dear guests? Are you there?"
Still, there was no response from Xue Yang and Lin Xi.
Could something have happened to them? She quickly took out her walkie-talkie, preparing to report to her superiors and ask them to send more people to search, lest the guests had an accident.
At that moment, Xue Yang spoke up. "We’re fine. We’re just getting used to the dark. We’ll head back to our room on our own once we’ve adjusted."
The staff member finally breathed a sigh of relief. Realizing she had probably interrupted a private moment, she said quickly, "Alright, please be careful. If you need any assistance, please don’t hesitate to call us."
"Alright."
The staff member quickly left the hot spring area.
"Xue Yang, my swimsuit is gone! Help me find it!"
