She suddenly realized her own foolishness; provoking him with her words would only anger him, with no benefit to her. She should be more rational, more calm. Even if he was indeed addicted to her, she should have seized this point to use it to her advantage, instead of quarreling with him here.
Hua Yan closed her mouth tightly and fell silent.
The atmosphere between the two of them reverted to its previous deadlocked state, much like when the little girl had interrupted them earlier. She cursed him, saying that he would eventually be punished, never to be reincarnated, and he retorted that even if he went to hell, he would take her with him as his companion.
After a long while, Fu Shenxing raised the corner of his lips again, sneered, and said mildly, "Hua Yan, I admit that I am currently interested in your body. But that doesn't mean I will always want to be with you. If I were you, I would seize this opportunity to try to please me in any way possible, maybe in the future, I will consider giving you some mercy, or setting you free, rather than letting you suffer in desperation."
She believed that he would do as he said, unconsciously shivering, and after a while, she murmured, "Thank you for the reminder."
"You're welcome," he replied.
She tightly held the room key card and turned to leave. Just as she returned to the front desk, a female student approached her excitedly and asked, "Teacher He, who is that gentleman? He's so handsome, I want to kneel and worship him!"
She was speechless and wanted to smile as usual, but no matter how hard she tried, her lips wouldn't curve up. Just as she was in distress, Xu Chengbo had appeared by her side, seamlessly taking over the conversation and telling the girl, "I know who he is. Treat me to a meal, and I'll tell you." "Zong Sheng Ho, Honor Sanctus."
Of course, the girl readily agreed, leaving Hua Yan behind as she moved over to Xu Chengbo's side, urging him to quickly reveal the information.
Xu Chengbo, with a smile, stopped teasing and answered, "He is Fu Shenxing, the CEO of Fu Corporation. Do you know our classmate, Yu Jia? Mr. Fu is her cousin. Miss He, did you just speak with Mr. Fu about Yu Jia? How is she doing now?"
He naturally explained how Hua Yan knew Fu Shenxing, and how Hua Yan appeared to be unable to detect it. Her emotions had also calmed down a lot, and she faintly smiled and replied, "Yes, Mr. Fu is Yu Jia's cousin."
The staff and volunteers of the event were divided into two shifts. The group that had already had dinner had returned. After handling the girl who was asking Xu Chengbo about nothing, he turned to Hua Yan and said, "Teacher He, let's have dinner together. What you said, it's either you eat or you won't."
Hua Yan was absent-minded and looked up a beat too late. "Hmm? Oh, no, I have something else to do. You go ahead."
On the other side of the public rest area, Fu Shenxing was no longer there. She hesitated for a moment, then held her phone and left the hotel, finding a secluded spot by the pool to sit down and call Liang Yuanze. The call was quickly answered, and he first said, "Hello," and then laughed and said, "Yanyan, I haven't gotten home yet. Have you eaten? Can you come back tonight?"
"I haven't eaten, and I can't come back tonight," she replied, sniffing, and inexplicably said, "Yuanze, I miss you, I miss you so much."
Liang Yuanze's hearty laughter came through the receiver, followed by the faint sound of a horn, and after a few seconds, he said, "Silly girl, speaking as if you're thousands of miles away from me. Wait for me, I'll come find you. I won't let you go home, shall I stay at the hotel?"
She was really anxious and quickly said, "No, definitely not. It would be really bad if anyone found out. Liang Yuanze, don't tease me. If you continue, I will be angry!"
"Okay, I won't book a room. I'll just come over to see you. Is that okay?" He compromised first, but also added a new condition. Before she could refuse, he continued, "Yan Yan, I've already turned the car around. Stop talking and quickly ask for leave from the supervisor. Just an hour, I know there's a great grilled fish restaurant nearby. I'll take you there, what do you think?"
She looked at her watch and saw that it was still early, she gritted her teeth and replied, "Fine."
Half an hour later, Liang Yuanze's car finally arrived at the hotel. He Yan had changed out of her volunteer uniform and was waiting outside. She walked up to the car door and got in, urging him to drive, "Hurry, don't go for grilled fish. Find a nearby budget hotel, we'll get a room!"
He was taken aback by her, then couldn't help but laugh, "Yan Yan, let's have a meal first, okay?"
"No." She refused, looking at him seriously, "I don't want to eat, I just want you now."
Liang Yuanze initially just laughed, thinking she was teasing him. But seeing her serious expression, he gradually stopped laughing, looked at her intently for a moment, then suddenly reached out and grabbed the back of her neck, pulling her closer and kissing her. She naturally responded enthusiastically, and the two of them passionately kissed, but the sound of the car horn interrupted them. He had to let go of her, gave her a deep look, then turned the steering wheel and drove the car back onto the side road.
"Find out where the nearest hotel is," he said.
There was no need to search, as they drove a few hundred meters and found a budget hotel by the roadside. They parked the car and ran into the hotel hand in hand like a couple in love, not letting go even when checking in at the front desk, causing the receptionist to sneak glances at them.
Liang Yuanze just smiled, took the room key from the receptionist, and ran upstairs with He Yan. As soon as they entered the room, they couldn't resist kissing each other. He closed the door with his foot, haphazardly inserted the room card into the power slot, then lifted her up from the floor and pressed her against the wall, kissing her passionately.
She responded fervently, gasping and demanding, "Hold me tight, Yuanze, hold me tight."
He hugged her even tighter, almost suffocating her. They tangled and struggled all the way to the bed, falling onto it together. They engaged in passionate activities for more than an hour, and finally, in her uncontrollable crying, he released himself inside her.
Breathing heavily, Liang Yuanze moved away from her, kissed her forehead, and whispered, "You little temptress, did you put a spell on me, making me love you so much that I'm willing to die for you?"
Still caught in her reverie, she breathed gently, looking at him dazedly. He also lowered his head, and as he gazed at her, he couldn't help but mutter under his breath. Then he rolled over and pressed her down again, kissing her and hoarsely saying, "Let's do it again!"
Only then she came to her senses and lifted her head to kiss him. But as she did, she suddenly stopped, wrapped her arms around him, buried her head in his chest, and burst into tears. He was startled and quickly rolled over, holding her in his arms and comforting her, nervously asking her, "What's wrong, darling? Please don't frighten me, tell me what happened."
