Chong Yun nearly threw the cards in his hand at Xiao Ruo's face. "What kind of-"
His words caught mid-air as Xiao Ruo stuck out her tongue and held up her card, a teasing glint in her eyes. "I'm number five. Who's three?"
Chen Wen, with his sharp eyes, spotted the card in Chong Yun's hand immediately. He pointed an accusing finger at him. "It's him."
Relief washed over Chong Yun when he realized it was only Xiao Ruo. She'd always been composed and unlikely to stir trouble.
The soft white arm coiling around his neck came out of nowhere, followed by the light touch of plump lips brushed against his mouth. A faint menthol scent lingered between them.
Chong Yun's body froze mid-reaction as a pair of supple breasts pressed into his palms when he instinctively pushed back. Xiao Ruo emitted a coquettish hum from her nose before collapsing backward, dragging him onto the floor with her. Her arms remained locked around his neck like vines.
The five onlookers had never witnessed such a live-action show of teenage hormone-fueled chaos. Their eyes widened when they spotted Chong Yun's hands inching toward Xiao Ruo's chest, blood rushing to their cheeks in collective excitement.
Chong Yun's breath came fast and shallow above the warm, youthful body beneath him. Xiao Ruo was beautiful with porcelain skin and a petite yet curvaceous frame. If he still showed no physical reaction now, there would be something seriously wrong medically.
His teenage body betrayed his mind instantly, hardening without warning as it pressed against her lower back. The blood in Chong Yun's veins boiled over, silencing all reason as his tongue invaded the rosebud mouth below. Xiao Ruo's eyelashes fluttered shut while a muffled whimper escaped her nose - indistinguishable whether from pleasure or embarrassment.
The moment teetered on the edge of no return when Chen Wen suddenly barked, "Shit! The dorm inspector is coming!"
Like thunder striking, both teens jolted awake. Chong Yun sprang up with flushed cheeks while Xiao Ruo let out a strangled cry and buried her face in the quilt, trembling violently. Her whole body burned from head to toe as if scalded by her own actions.
Tian Hai leaped to his feet immediately, "Hurry! We'll get penalized!"
Chen Wen grabbed Tian Hai's sleeve. "Too late!" He turned to Chong Yun urgently, "Switch off the lights!" The two boys ducked into the bathroom as the girls flung themselves under the quilts.
Chong Yun reached for the light switch just as footsteps approached. With nowhere else to hide, he yanked open Xiao Ruo's quilt and dove inside. As the door creaked open, high heels clacked ominously on tile floor.
He pressed himself against Xiao Ruo from behind, their bodies separated only by two layers of thin fabric. The heat radiating between them felt like a nuclear reaction reigniting after just cooling down. Chong Yun's iron-hard member found purchase against her perky buttcheeks instantly.
Xiao Ruo's barely controlled breathing shattered into wild gasps as the burning rod at her back triggered cardiac palpitations in her throat. Though she knew logically what was happening, her limbs turned to jelly while his hot breath fanned her earlobes like flames licking her soul toward oblivion.
The rhythmic clacking drew closer until just inches away - a female teacher stood there scrutinizing discarded cards and soda cans on the floor. With a sigh of relief, she left without further investigation.
"Bang!"
Tian Hai flitted out through the bathroom door the moment it closed, peeking outside while Chen Wen hissed from shadows. "Chong Yun! The inspection is over, come out!"
Exerting enormous willpower, Chong Yun disentangled himself and crawled out. Tian Hai gaped in astonishment before muttering, "Damn."
"Your curves can't hide even under quilts," Chen Wen remarked toward Xiao Ruo's still-shaking form.
The other three girls emerged laughing softly at the comment. The petite one protested, "No rights for fat people? Watch me file discrimination reports!"
They all shared quiet chuckles - these well-behaved students had just witnessed a near-perfect scandal and narrowly escaped detection. Tian Hai peeked through the door before darting out with his companions.
"Goodnight ladies!" Chen Wen waved as they left, leaving three girls in an awkward silence.
After an eternity of tossing restlessly, the petite girl finally called out to Xiao Ruo's direction. "Xiao Ruo, are you asleep?"
The girl on her other side replied, "She's fast asleep already. Don't wake her up."
"But how do you know?"
"Her quilt hasn't moved for hours," said Xiaofen.
"She was so bold tonight!" The third girl chimed in sleepily, "Xiao Ruo always seems shy but suddenly kissed a guy out of nowhere!"
The petite girl snickered unexpectedly. "What if she secretly likes Chong Yun?"
"It's impossible." Xiaofen denied firmly.
"How do you know?"
"I..." As Xiao Ruo's best friend, Xiaofen knew her heart belonged to someone else, but refused to betray that secret.
"Chong Yun isn't handsome or tall, his grades are terrible and he's awkward. Who would possibly like him?"
They failed to notice the quilt covering Xiao Ruo shivered slightly. How could she sleep after all this? Even through layers of fabric, her ears caught Xiaofen's words - "He's not handsome at all..." The thought struck her heart like a blade: Yes, he was neither handsome nor tall, his grades were poor... So why did my heart burn like that earlier?
