Chapter 398

The sound of the bathroom door opening rang out.

Xia Nuannuan nimbly sat up from the bed and quickly resumed her previous posture of watching TV, though her peripheral vision darted toward the bathroom.

She saw Qin Tian walk out with a white bath towel wrapped around his waist, drying his hair with a towel.

Xia Nuannuan hurriedly shifted her gaze back to the TV screen, feeling her cheeks burning.

"Nuannuan, I'm done, you go ahead, it's very warm inside."

Qin Tian said to Xia Nuannuan in a calm tone.

"Okay!"

Xia Nuannuan responded, also feigning composure.

Qin Tian went to the cabinet, picked up the hairdryer, plugged it in next to his bed, and with his back to Xia Nuannuan, began drying his hair.

Meanwhile, seeing that he wasn't looking at her, Xia Nuannuan hurriedly began taking off her coat.

Her coat and sweater, then her shoes and jeans.

Finally, only a set of pink thermal underwear remained, the soft, thin fabric no longer able to hide her proud, curvaceous figure.

Putting on her slippers, Xia Nuannuan hurried toward the bathroom.

Qin Tian snuck a glance. Whether it was because the hairdryer had been on too long or his own inner fire was too strong, he felt his mouth and tongue go dry and quickly averted his gaze.

Once the bathroom door closed, Qin Tian turned off the hairdryer and let out a long, bitter sigh.

He began to question whether his decision had been a mistake.

Staying in a room alone with this girl for the night—even with his strong willpower, he might really not be able to hold out!

In fact, he truly hadn't intended to go all the way with Xia Nuannuan in this hotel room.

But just that one glance earlier had made him feel like his defenses were on the verge of breaking.

Qin Tian naturally knew that girls take a long time to shower.

However, as time passed, he felt Xia Nuannuan had been inside for too long.

He picked up his phone to check the time; it was already past one in the morning, and she had been in there for nearly half an hour.

"Nuannuan!"

Qin Tian called out.

However, there was no response from inside.

"Nuannuan!!"

Qin Tian raised his voice and called out again.

"Ah? What's wrong?"

A slightly flustered response came from inside.

"Are you okay?"

Qin Tian asked with concern.

"No, I'm fine, I'm done, I'm just getting dressed."

"Okay!"

Qin Tian felt relieved and didn't say anything more.

A few minutes later, Xia Nuannuan, still wearing the thermal set, walked quickly toward her bed with a flushed face, clutching a bundle of white bath towels.

Qin Tian looked at her with some confusion, not understanding why she was clutching those towels.

Soon, he saw Xia Nuannuan place the bundle of towels on the nightstand and then quickly open the quilt and dive inside.

Because her movements were so large, Qin Tian caught a glimpse of the truth.

This girl... she probably wasn't wearing her underwear from before.

What was wrapped inside those white towels must have been it.

His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and Qin Tian felt even hotter.

"I'll go to the front desk tomorrow and have them help you buy a set."

Qin Tian suddenly spoke up.

"Ah?"

Xia Nuannuan looked at him, puzzled.

Qin Tian pursed his lips toward the towels over there.

Xia Nuannuan's pretty face instantly flushed red. She averted her gaze to the TV and said in a panic: "No, no need, I'll change when I get back to the dorm tomorrow."

"Alright!"

Qin Tian nodded.

Then, another awkward silence followed.

Both of them were leaning against the headboards watching TV, but neither had any idea what was playing.

"Nuannuan, come sit over here, I'll help you dry your hair."

Thinking of something, Qin Tian sat up, picked up the hairdryer nearby, and beckoned to her.

Xia Nuannuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded. She followed his instructions, got out of bed, came to his bedside, and sat down with her back to him.

Qin Tian turned on the hairdryer and began to dry her hair with gentle movements.

The scent of shampoo and body wash, mixed with a unique, faint fragrance, lingered in his nostrils, making Qin Tian feel as if a ball of fire were burning in his heart.

He adjusted his position unnaturally and sat cross-legged.

Under Qin Tian's gentle movements and the warm air from the dryer, Xia Nuannuan relaxed without realizing it. She narrowed her eyes slightly, a look of enjoyment appearing on her sweet, lovely face.

Qin Tian also managed to control his desires slightly and began to focus on the task of drying Xia Nuannuan's hair.

He really liked this task. Xia Nuannuan's hair quality was excellent; after being dried in his hands, it felt as soft and smooth as silk, giving him a very wonderful sense of accomplishment.

For a while, neither of them spoke, enjoying this warm atmosphere.

"All done."

Qin Tian turned off the hairdryer and helped her smooth out her long, dried hair.

"Thank you."

Xia Nuannuan said, her cheeks flushed.

"Let's sleep. Go turn off the TV, I'll turn off the lights."

Qin Tian pointed to the remote control over there.

"Mm!"

Xia Nuannuan responded obediently, walked over to turn off the TV, and then dove back into the quilt on her bed.

"I'm turning off the lights!"

"Mm, turn them off!"

With a click, the room immediately went dark.

In the quiet room, only the sound of the air conditioner blowing warm air could be heard.

Both of them were lying on their backs, eyes closed in feigned sleep, but neither felt any drowsiness at all.

Time passed minute by minute.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Xia Nuannuan's soft voice broke the silence.

"Brother, are you asleep?"

"Not yet. You can't sleep?"

"Mm, a little."

Xia Nuannuan slowly turned on her side to face him.

Qin Tian also turned on his side to face her, and after a moment of contemplation, asked tentatively: "Can... can I come over?"

In the darkness, Xia Nuannuan's small face instantly turned a deep crimson.

After a long while, Xia Nuannuan gave a soft 'mm'.

Qin Tian sat up, got out of bed, and walked over.

Hearing the movement, Xia Nuannuan hurriedly turned away from him, shrinking her body into the quilt.

Soon, she felt Qin Tian climb into the quilt and hug her from behind.

Xia Nuannuan's whole body went rigid, as if she could hear her own heart beating too fast.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just holding you while we sleep, I won't do anything."

Qin Tian said in a soft voice.

After a few seconds, Xia Nuannuan's shy voice sounded.

"Siqi said that what men say at times like this is all lies."

"Don't listen to her nonsense. She hasn't even been in a relationship before, what does she know!"

Qin Tian said, unable to laugh or cry, and whispered: "What I said is true. Even if I wanted you, I wouldn't want the first time to be in a hotel."

Hearing this, Xia Nuannuan felt her heart filled with the happiness and sweetness of being cherished.

If Qin Tian really wanted to, it would be hard for her to resist. After all, she had already made Qin Tian her one and only true love; she would only be his person for the rest of her life, and she was willing to give herself to him.

But just as Qin Tian said, she would still feel regret if the first time were in a hotel.

"However, can I have a little appetizer first?"

Qin Tian suddenly changed the subject.

"What?"

Xia Nuannuan didn't quite understand.

Qin Tian didn't explain, but directly began to act.

Before enjoying a delicious meal, one must warm up first.

Before, he could only feel it roughly, but now he could play with it in detail, carefully experiencing the pleasure that was impossible to grasp with one hand.

Soon, when Qin Tian's head dove under the quilt, Xia Nuannuan, whose brain was already dizzy, finally understood what he meant by 'appetizer'.
