Volume 1 Chapter 122: How About We Spend the Night at a Hotel?
But... Shen Jingyi glanced at Bai Muxue again and still said nothing.
Fine then. Faced with Shen Jingyi, who would not react no matter whether she used soft or hard methods, Bai Muxue could only silently surrender with both hands raised. She truly started to feel a headache coming on now. Things seemed to be developing in a direction completely beyond her expectations...
Lying on Shen Jingyi’s soft pale thighs, Bai Muxue suddenly felt strangely irritated. She no longer had the mood to gather negative emotions from Shen Jingyi and instead snorted lightly toward Sasha in the front seat.
“I’m exhausted. Can you drive faster so we can get back sooner?”
Forget it. I already collected quite a lot of negative emotions earlier today. Better to stop while ahead and go back early, otherwise Sasha might come up with another terrible idea later...
That was what Bai Muxue silently thought to herself.
“Alright, alright, you’re the young lady, so you make the rules... Damn it! Don’t these humans look at the road while driving!?”
Sasha cursed under her breath after barely avoiding a collision with a large truck.
Honestly, for someone who suddenly decided on a whim to play the role of a driver, her driving skills... were really hard to praise.
Fortunately, neither Bai Muxue nor Shen Jingyi sitting in the back paid much attention to it.
The only one truly terrified was Heidi inside Sasha’s mind, whose frightened screams never stopped.
“Tsk! I already said it’s fine! What are you so scared of?” Sasha pouted and muttered inwardly. “Or should we switch back now and let you drive instead?”
“Wuu...”
The moment those words were spoken, the panicked voice inside Sasha’s head immediately quieted down, leaving only weak little whimpers behind.
“That’s better. Stay quiet so I can focus.”
The girl nodded in satisfaction before secretly glancing into the rearview mirror and slowly reducing the car’s speed.
“Seriously, instead of worrying over nothing, you should just enjoy the show...”
Back in the building, Sasha had already realized something.
Kaguya only had that crazy and dangerous aura while transformed. When she was in her normal human form, she could not even properly deal with two magical girls fighting over her. Hahaha!
For example, right now. Sasha could clearly tell Bai Muxue was not actually feeling unwell at all. She was obviously upset because she tried acting tough and dominant earlier, but Shen Jingyi completely ignored it.
Tsk tsk tsk. Saying things like “I’ll lie on your legs whenever I want” so confidently... Kaguya, Kaguya... you really are interesting...
When Sasha first met Kaguya, she thought she was the kind of madwoman who only wanted to see blood everywhere without caring about anything else.
But who would have thought...
What was this called? Tough on the outside but soft on the inside?
Watching someone who once made even Dian feel cautious now getting overwhelmed by two human girls made Sasha’s smile become brighter and brighter. She felt all the frustration from losing so easily to Kaguya before had finally been released.
Want to go home early?
I refuse!
Hahaha, Kaguya, Kaguya... don’t think this is over yet...
You’ll really be sweating later, hahaha...
Late at night, Wangdu had already lost the noise and excitement of daytime and become completely quiet. After passing through the busy downtown area, the roads were now almost empty.
Sasha drove slowly and casually, somehow making the whole trip feel more like a vacation drive.
After wandering leisurely through the streets for quite a while, Sasha finally stepped on the brakes. She parked the car steadily and snapped her fingers in satisfaction.
“Phew... finally here! I told you, there’s no way I couldn’t handle a human vehicle...”
While muttering to herself, she pulled the still-dazed Shen Jingyi and the half-asleep Bai Muxue, who was still lying on someone’s lap, out of the car.
“Miss, make good use of this chance and do your best!”
Before Bai Muxue could say anything else, Sasha seriously nodded at her, then immediately drove away at full speed without giving her any chance to speak.
Bai Muxue: “???”
Do my best? Do my best at what?
And what does leaving the two of us here even mean? This doesn’t look like the Bai family villa at all, does it?
Bai Muxue’s brain was still a complete mess when she suddenly heard Shen Jingyi speaking beside her in a strangely trembling voice.
“T-Tonight... are we staying here...?”
Her voice was very, very soft, so soft that Bai Muxue almost could not hear what she said.
Bai Muxue instinctively looked toward Shen Jingyi and realized that the girl’s usually calm and cold face was now covered with a blush like red makeup. Even under the dark night sky, the moonlight gave her a different kind of beauty.
Although Shen Jingyi tried hard to maintain her usual calm appearance, her slightly trembling body and wandering eyes completely exposed how nervous she really was.
“W-What’s wrong?”
Slightly stunned, Bai Muxue subconsciously turned her head and finally noticed the luxurious building across the street.
It was one of Wangdu’s luxury hotels. The tall glass walls reflected the colorful neon lights from the distance, and when looking upward, the building felt almost endless in height.
Back when Bai Muxue was still working an ordinary office job, she had already heard of this hotel. Rich people often held banquets here, and the prices inside were unbelievably expensive...
At that time, it had been a place completely beyond her reach.
Also, this hotel seemed to belong to the Bai family too? Though honestly, the Bai family owned so many businesses that even she was not completely sure...
Wait wait wait!
Looking at Shen Jingyi’s strange expression beside her, Bai Muxue finally realized why the girl had been acting so strangely.
Don’t tell me... Shen Jingyi thinks I brought her here tonight to... book a room together?
“SASHA! WHAT KIND OF PLACE DID YOU BRING ME TOOOOO?!”
Bai Muxue instantly exploded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She almost wanted to transform immediately, chase after the already distant car, and teach that troublemaking woman a lesson.
No, calm down, Bai Muxue, calm down...
Don’t fall into Sasha’s trap...
And suddenly losing her temper would ruin her character setting too...
After taking a deep breath, Bai Muxue immediately planned to turn around and leave. At worst, she could just call the Bai family and ask someone else to come pick them up.
“Um...”
But before Bai Muxue could finish speaking, a new thought suddenly appeared in her mind.
Although bringing a young girl into a hotel sounded strange no matter how she thought about it...
But since they were already here...
Maybe it was not completely impossible to do a little something...
She was not a child anyway. As long as she controlled herself properly, it should be fine... probably.
I’m only doing this to collect more negative emotions! I definitely don’t have any weird thoughts!
She pursed her lips as the vague idea slowly became clearer in her mind. Then she secretly glanced at Shen Jingyi, who still had her head lowered and seemed lost in thought, and suddenly felt her heartbeat speed up slightly.
Meanwhile, after Bai Muxue only said half a sentence before suddenly going silent, Shen Jingyi became even more uneasy. She carefully turned her head to look at the girl beside her.
Under the streetlights, Bai Muxue’s nose looked elegant and sharp, her eyelashes long and thick, while half of her face remained hidden in the shadows.
Shen Jingyi’s eyes flickered uncertainly. Just as she hesitated over whether she should speak first, the girl in front of her lightly coughed. A faint smile appeared on her lips as she softly said,
“Teacher Shen, it’s already so late now. How about we...”
Hearing this, Shen Jingyi’s heart suddenly trembled.
And just as expected, the girl said the exact words she had imagined.
“How about we spend the night at a hotel?”
