Guo Xu Yang understood and felt relieved, though he was unsure how to explain it to Xiao Yun, Li Minxi, and the others.
He gazed blankly at Xiao Xi, then lowered his head and kissed her.
"Mmm, you're awake? I'm so sorry, I must have fallen asleep."
Xiao Xi stretched lazily, then quickly sat up, flustered to see Guo Xu Yang watching her.
"It's fine, you can sleep a bit longer. I'm heading back," Guo Xu Yang said, preparing to stand.
"Let me clean up for you," Xiao Xi offered, following him down.
"No need, I can manage. You rest a bit more," Guo Xu Yang said, turning to leave.
Xiao Xi suddenly hugged him from behind, pressing her chest tightly against his back.
"I will take responsibility for you," Guo Xu Yang said, stroking Xiao Xi's arm as he turned his head.
Xiao Xi's body trembled, and she lowered her hands, slowly moving them to touch his groin.
Unable to withstand the stimulation, Guo Xu Yang turned, scooped Xiao Xi into his arms, and placed her on the massage bed once more...
When it was over, Xiao Xi had completely fallen into a deep sleep.
As Guo Xu Yang stepped out, feeling refreshed, he noticed the sky was already close to dawn.
He had no idea when the others had left the previous night; it seemed they had forgotten about him.
He walked to the front desk, requested some energy drinks and snacks, and found a quiet spot to eat.
Looking at his phone, he saw messages indicating that the women had returned home last night, leaving only him and Xu Da Hai.
It was too early to call anyone at this hour.
With no other option, he asked the front desk to book him a room so he could catch up on sleep.
Though Ye Zi had been sharp-tongued yesterday, she had only teased the handsome young man.
Xu Li Ping, however, had been uninhibited, allowing the masseuse to work her magic and indulging herself completely.
After all, women needed pampering too.
She was not someone who believed in celibacy. Having been Wu You Zhi's kept woman, it was not entirely unreasonable for her to engage in some 'beyond friendship' activities in appropriate settings.
However, this was limited to seeking casual encounters at places like this. She had always given those with ulterior motives a cold shoulder, and that included You Le Ping.
She was well aware of You Le Ping's intentions when he approached her.
But there was a significant age gap between them, as well as a considerable disparity in their social status.
She didn't believe he genuinely liked her; perhaps it was just curiosity or attraction to her maturity.
She could only keep her distance from such individuals, especially with Wu You Zhi in the picture.
Furthermore, Guo Xu Yang was Wu You Zhi's brother. If she were to betray Wu You Zhi, her golden meal ticket would be gone in an instant, without a doubt.
Therefore, she would rather have casual encounters at clubs or opportune moments than to get involved with people who had designs on her.
The women left after their enjoyment, with all the bills charged to Xu Da Hai.
It wasn't until past nine that Xu Da Hai arrived at the front desk, only to find that Guo Xu Yang had booked another room to sleep. He chuckled and headed to his own room.
He asked the floor attendant to open the door, but upon discovering that Xiao Xi was also in Guo Xu Yang's room, he quickly retreated.
How did Xiao Xi end up in his room again?
It turned out that after Xiao Xi woke up and found Guo Xu Yang gone, she rushed to the front desk to inquire. Upon learning that he had booked a separate room to rest, she followed him. After having the floor attendant open the door, she quietly slipped into his bed.
It seemed Xiao Xi was truly determined to stay with Guo Xu Yang.
Guo Xu Yang slept soundly, unaware that Xiao Xi had quietly followed him or that Xu Da Hai had pushed open his door.
Being a 'ploughing ox' all night had indeed been tiring.
In his muddled sleep, he seemed to have arrived on a colossal planet populated by numerous alien creatures, a small number of humans, and a vast majority of robots.
The civilization here was highly advanced, with many spacecraft seamlessly integrated into the planet's surface. They all utilized air energy, and everyone traveled by spacecraft.
Furthermore, the spacecraft's headlights were peculiar, resembling those of women.
He reached out to touch them, but was blocked by a barrier.
Opening his eyes, he realized he had unknowingly placed his hand on Xiao Xi's chest.
He shook his head, realizing it wasn't a dream. He had no idea when Xiao Xi had entered.
This was not good; his guard had clearly dropped.
"You're awake. Would you like to sleep a little longer?" Xiao Xi was startled awake by him.
Guo Xu Yang glanced at the time; it was almost noon.
"No, I have things to do. You rest a bit more. Hey, don't you have classes today?"
"No. I was too sleepy, so I asked a classmate to call in sick for me."
"It's my fault I couldn't control myself. Give me your phone number."
Guo Xu Yang asked Xiao Xi to open her phone, then took it and dialed his own number.
"When I return, I'll have Manager Xu Li Ping contact you. You can tell her your requests."
He handed the phone back to Xiao Xi.
"How old are you this year?"
"Twenty."
"Twenty? Are you in your second or third year?"
"Second year."
"Mmm. Don't come here anymore. Focus on your studies. If you need anything, you can directly contact Manager Xu.
This is my phone number. However, I'll be leaving in a few days, so I might not be reachable."
Guo Xu Yang said, dialing Xiao Xi's number.
"You sleep a bit longer, go back after you wake up."
"I'm awake. Could you check out of the room?" Xiao Xi said, also standing up.
"Alright then, it's almost lunchtime. Let me treat you. You must be tired after last night."
Xiao Xi blushed at his words but nodded in agreement.
"Are you leaving? I was just about to go down, and I needed to tell you. Where? Okay, I'm coming down now."
Guo Xu Yang hung up the phone and called out, "Let's go, someone's treating us."
The two went downstairs and found Xu Da Hai waiting by the entrance.
"Those few women have gone back," Xu Da Hai said. "And who is this?"
"Xiao Xi. Where should we eat?"
"No need to ask, I guarantee you'll be satisfied. Should I call the others?"
"I'll send you the location when we get there."
Guo Xu Yang then called Xiao Yun.
"Where are you? Still at the hotel? Who's there? Everyone's here.
Then have Xu Li Ping drive out later. Brother Xu is treating.
I don't know the exact location, so wait a bit. I'll send you the location shortly."
He hung up the phone and said, "Brother Xu, get me some oysters and lamb soup, the more, the better."
Xu Da Hai glanced at the time and said, "No problem. However, at this hour, the lamb soup might not be freshly made."
"It's fine, I'm not picky. I just want something to nourish me."
"Brother, how was it? Still good?"
Guo Xu Yang glanced at Xiao Xi and said, "My waist was almost broken yesterday. It was perfect."
