Ruan Qing lost his previous composure and calmness upon seeing that the person knocking on the door was Su Zhen. He immediately threw down his tablet and quickly walked over to the boy maid.
The boy maid frowned at the obviously flustered person, instinctively opening his mouth.
Ruan Qing, startled, swiftly covered the boy maid’s mouth, afraid he would make a sound.
He was also afraid that the person outside would hear any noise.
Ruan Qing glanced towards the door and, seeing that Su Zhen wasn’t about to break in, heaved a slight sigh of relief.
At least it meant that Su Zhen hadn’t discovered there was someone in his room.
The boy maid stiffened as Ruan Qing leaned in closer. At such a close distance, he could clearly see the boy’s long eyelashes casting shadows under his eyes.
It was extremely beautiful.
His eyes half-closed, his gaze fell on Ruan Qing’s hand covering his mouth, and he obediently remained silent.
He let the pleasant scent of orchids linger in front of him.
“Knock, knock, knock.” The person outside, possibly thinking the people inside hadn’t heard, knocked again.
The sound was particularly loud in the night, enough to wake someone even if they were asleep.
Ruan Qing ignored it and didn’t make a sound. After surveying the room, he took the boy maid’s hand and quietly moved towards a corner.
It was obvious he wanted to hide him.
He absolutely couldn’t let Su Zhen find the boy maid, or else he would definitely be implicated.
Even if he had no intention of doing anything, just the fact that he had let the boy maid into his room was enough to anger Su Zhen.
The boy maid obediently let Ruan Qing lead him, but there was a hint of danger and darkness in his eyes.
After all, the young man’s reaction clearly showed he was afraid of the person outside knowing he was here.
If it was just a stranger or someone he had a normal relationship with, he wouldn’t react like this.
His reaction was more like being afraid of being caught by someone he liked.
Besides, the young man had rejected him several times.
If he didn’t have someone in his heart, he wouldn’t have rejected him so many times.
Ruan Qing didn’t have time to look at the boy maid’s expression; he quickly led him to the chosen hiding spot.
He didn’t choose the closet, which would be an easy place to find, but instead chose the window.
There was a small balcony outside the window, lower than the window itself, and it was pitch black at the moment.
As long as the window was closed and the curtains drawn, it was almost impossible to see if anyone was outside.
Ruan Qing pushed the boy maid out of the window. Just as he was about to close the window, the boy maid grabbed his hand.
The boy maid’s eyes curved slightly, and his fingers slid ambiguously over Ruan Qing’s fair wrist. Then he lowered his voice, speaking softly with a hint of flirtation.
“Guest, were you satisfied with my dance just now?”
Ruan Qing looked straight at the boy maid, instantly understanding his meaning.
If he said he wasn’t satisfied, the boy maid probably wouldn’t obediently hide there.
And if he said he was satisfied, it would mean agreeing to let him into bed.
But right now, Ruan Qing didn’t have any other options.
“Satisfied.”
Ruan Qing’s voice was very low, almost inaudible, but the boy maid heard it.
The boy maid’s eyes lit up with a hint of excitement, “Then can I...” sleep with you?
However, before he could finish his sentence, the person in front of him pushed his hand away and ruthlessly closed the window.
The next second, the curtains were drawn, completely blocking out the light in the room and isolating the balcony.
The boy maid: “...”
Not angry.
He wasn’t angry.
Sooner or later, he would make Ruan Qing pay back with interest.
After hiding the boy maid, Ruan Qing looked at the things knocked over by the boy maid.
There was no time to clean up.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!” Probably because Ruan Qing hadn’t opened the door for too long. The knocking grew louder and heavier, making one’s heart tighten.
Ruan Qing knew very well that Su Zhen’s patience was running out. He quickly walked to the door.
However, Ruan Qing did not open the door. Instead, he leaned against it and spoke in a calm tone, “Who is it? Do you need something?”
“Open the door.” Su Zhen’s indifferent voice came from outside, carrying a hint of command.
Ruan Qing still did not open the door. He lowered his eyes, as if only just recognizing Su Zhen’s voice, and his voice carried a touch of nervousness and panic, “I... I’m about to sleep. If there’s anything, let’s talk about it tomorrow.”
Although Ruan Qing’s voice sounded flustered, his expression was not. He was very calm.
Calm, but with a hint of nervousness.
It was evident that he was indeed afraid and nervous, but this did not make him truly panic. His acting was nearly flawless.
The audience in the live stream couldn’t help but be amazed.
[Wifey is really tough. Even at times like this, he doesn’t forget to act. What should I do? I kind of want to see wifey slip up.]
[If this slip-up happens, it might be terrifying. The person you like letting a man who offers special services into the room... Su Zhen would flip the whole instance, and the streamer would probably be... well, you know.]
[I kind of want to see it. What should I do? No, no, I can’t waver. Husband’s dog can only be me, though I really want to see it, waahhh.]
“Open the door.” Su Zhen repeated, but this time with a slightly heavier tone, carrying a sense of danger.
It felt like a final ultimatum.
After a few seconds of silence, Ruan Qing finally opened the door.
However, he only opened it a crack, as if afraid that Su Zhen would come in.
Like a little fox that escaped unscathed after teasing a tiger, naturally, he would be scared to encounter the tiger again.
Not to mention being in the same room with the tiger.
So, Ruan Qing’s reaction was perfectly natural, and would not lead anyone to guess that he was nervous about Su Zhen discovering someone in his room.
Ruan Qing looked at Su Zhen outside the door, biting his lip uneasily. “Do you... need something?”
Su Zhen looked at the obedient young man who opened the door and chuckled lightly. Just as he was about to speak, he smelled a strange scent.
Like some kind of fragrance.
It wasn’t the faint orchid scent that Ruan Qing usually carried, but another kind of unpleasant fragrance.
Moreover, Su Zhen had already been to the room of the Life and Death Casino, and it did not have this smell.
Su Zhen’s smile faded, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his previous suspicions surged up again.
Even the young man’s nervousness and unease seemed to conceal something.
Su Zhen directly pushed open the door, his action carrying a hint of assertiveness.
Ruan Qing’s eyes widened, and he instinctively wanted to close the door.
However, his strength was naturally no match for Su Zhen’s, so he could only watch as Su Zhen entered the room.
Ruan Qing’s heart tightened, and his pale fingers clenched nervously.
After Su Zhen entered the room, he coldly glanced around, his gaze finally landing on a flowerpot that had fallen to the ground.
The flower, having fallen, had its stem broken, oozing a milky white sap.
The fragrance was emanating from this sap.
It wasn’t as Su Zhen had suspected that there was another person in the room.
what kind of superman sense of smell is that
