"Yellow Hair" yelped as someone kicked him to the ground.
Everyone at the table leaped to their feet in fright. Before they could recover, they saw Shen Xi being swept up into someone's arms.
"Brother Si Ye," Yin Zhe exclaimed in surprise, looking at the tall, imposing man before him.
Qin Si Ye exchanged a glance with Yin Zhe, then swept his gaze around the room. When his dark eyes landed on Qin Si Yu, they turned fierce.
The cold air radiating from him reached their chests, making them feel suffocated.
No one dared to breathe, and some were trembling.
After a moment, Qin Si Ye turned to Zhao Ze behind him and said, "Take Yin Zhe home. Lock up everyone else."
With that, he strode out of the room.
Shen Xi, nestled in his embrace, slowly opened her hazy eyes. Upon seeing the man's face above her, she instinctively hooked her arms around his neck.
"Qin Si Ye, you... you're back?"
"Mmm," Qin Si Ye replied with a stern face. He glanced at her and directly carried her into the elevator.
Shen Xi raised her right hand and touched his handsome, captivating face. Her voice held a hint of complaint, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming back beforehand?"
The man looked down at her, a slight smile curving his lips. "What? Were you worried about me?"
"Mmm. I missed you," Shen Xi snuggled closer into his embrace.
Her body felt feverish, and what she felt in her heart spilled out of her mouth.
Hearing this, Qin Si Ye's heart stirred. This was the first time he had ever heard her say something like this.
Was it her true feelings, or was it the effect of the drug?
Regardless, his arms around her tightened involuntarily.
"Ding dong." The elevator arrived at the 24th floor. Qin Si Ye carried Shen Xi into the presidential suite he had booked long-term.
He headed straight for the shower.
He gently placed Shen Xi on the ground, supporting her with one hand while the other turned on the faucet.
"You go ahead and rinse off. I'll make a call to Gu Lin."
"No. Don't," Shen Xi said, but in the next moment, she firmly grabbed his hand and pulled him into the shower.
Instantly, both of them were soaked. Shen Xi wrapped her arms around his waist, her burning body pressing against him.
Qin Si Ye quickly placed his phone on a table outside, turned off the faucet, and gently held Shen Xi's shoulders.
"Xi Xi, wake up. You were drugged. Only Gu Lin can save you."
"No. I don't want him to come. I... I want you to save me."
Shen Xi reached up and pulled off the mask from her face. Her delicate and exquisite features were like a freshly bloomed flower, her eyes shimmering with starlight, gazing at the man before her with pitiable charm.
His heart trembled. Qin Si Ye's throat involuntarily constricted. He remembered that this woman had rejected him just a few days ago. He asked again, unsure, "Xi Xi, can you see clearly? Who am I?"
"I know. Si Ye," Shen Xi's voice was soft and alluring. She then stood on her tiptoes and kissed his lips haphazardly.
Qin Si Ye was passive at this moment, a sense of unease lingering in his heart. He gave her no response.
As Shen Xi's lips moved to his neck, Qin Si Ye asked again, "Xi Xi, I'm still missing a thank you."
"I'm full," Shen Xi replied softly, two words that were followed by her restless hands exploring his clothes. "I'm so hot. Si Ye, hurry, help me."
Full? Had she counted the earlier incident?
When Qin Si Ye understood this, a smile instantly bloomed on his lips. All his reservations vanished.
He reached out and turned on the faucet again, pulling the beloved woman in his arms closer. He lowered his head and madly devoured her alluring lips...
He had waited for this moment for so, so long. His excited heart felt as though it would leap from his throat.
At this moment, the room was filled with a passionate, spring-like atmosphere. The sound of rushing water intertwined with rapid breaths, composing a beautiful and moving symphony...
The next day, Shen Xi slowly opened her eyes in bed. By the light filtering in through the window, she scanned the room.
"Oh God, where is this? Why is it exactly the same as the room five years ago?"
Her peach-blossom-like eyes darted back and forth. The memories of last night returned to her mind in fragments.
Yin Zhe was forced to drink by his classmates, she went to save him, and then she was drugged. Qin Si Ye suddenly appeared and carried her out of the room.
Later, he turned on the faucet and said he was going to call Gu Lin. But she had actively kissed that man...
Shen Xi couldn't help but glance at the man still asleep beside her. Fate truly played tricks.
Both times she had been with this man, she had been drugged, and both incidents occurred in the same hotel, in similar rooms.
Shen Xi propped up her sore body and grabbed a bathrobe, preparing to get out of bed, when a large hand pulled her back into his embrace.
Immediately, the man flipped over, pinning her beneath him, gazing down at her.
"What? Now that you have the antidote, you want to run?"
