The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker

Chapter 360 - 332 Fragmented

Hotel.Chu Zhengran’s room.

Light filtered through the gap in the curtains, falling on the bed. Qin Xia turned over, and that beam of light happened to shine into her eyes.

She raised her hand to wave it away, but it didn’t help, so she waved again, still uncomfortable.

Finally, she opened her eyes, wanting to see what had the audacity to interrupt her sleep.

Her eyes opened, looking at the beam of light, then at the dim room.

Qin Xia took a long time to realize where she was.

She thought back for a while but couldn’t remember where she was; instead, she felt a hand on her abdomen.

Inside her robe, a hand pressed against her skin.

And! Furthermore! Only after did she realize there was clearly someone behind her!

A tall man who completely enveloped her in his arms.

Qin Xia’s dazed expression instantly turned to sheer terror, her pupils trembling, every hair on her body stood on end.

She frantically searched her memory, recalling only chatting and drinking with Xiao Zhe behind the hotel.

Then... she remembered nothing after that.

A blackout.

The last memory she could find was of Xiao Zhe.

Now it wasn’t just her pupils trembling; she felt like all her muscles were shaking, her heartbeat like it was ready to choke her throat.

And because she was overly nervous and terrified, she felt a little nauseous, ready to retch.

Could she have... slept with Xiao Zhe?

This thought crossed her mind, and she felt faint.

It felt like she was at the gates of hell.

She forced herself to suppress the uncomfortable feeling.

Qin Xia gently removed the hand on her abdomen.

She waited for a moment, and seeing that the person behind her didn’t react, she slowly moved forward, out of his embrace.

Then, little by little, she turned around to look at the person behind her.

When she saw Chu Zhengran’s face, even asleep, gentle and amiable, she was momentarily stunned, then exhaled a deep breath of relief.

All the tension and fear disappeared instantly.

Her heart settled back in place.

Thank goodness, thank goodness, it’s Chu Zhengran, not someone else, not someone else.

She exhaled completely and muttered with psychological relief.

Then she suddenly sat up, her expression even more terrified, her eyes wide, veins on her forehead pulsating uncontrollably!

It’s Chu Zhengran! It’s Chu Zhengran!

What happened?! What happened?!

How did she end up sleeping with Chu Zhengran?

And... she looked at the robe she wore and the... sensation.

This was clearly more than just sharing a bed.

This is...

Qin Xia’s eyes reddened with fear, she turned her head to look at the sleeping Chu Zhengran again. In seconds, hundreds of strategies flashed through her mind, and she dismissed hundreds of them.

After appreciating his gentle and handsome sleeping face for a moment, she thought it best to slip away while he was still asleep.

Best to go abroad immediately and hide for a while.

She had just told his mother last night that she would never be with him, only to end up in bed with her son.

Such a face-slapping move made Qin Xia want to live on another planet.

She decided to hide for a while, study how to move to another planet.

Decision made, she immediately put it into action.

Qin Xia lifted the blanket, moving ever so slowly and quietly getting out of bed.

Avoiding waking Chu Zhengran, her movements were very slow.

Finally standing on the floor, her legs nearly gave out, almost kneeling to the window.

She steadied herself against the bedside table, waited until her legs had some strength, then hurriedly went to find her clothes and headed out.

Just as she stepped out of the bedroom, Chu Zhengran slowly opened his eyes, listening to the rustling sounds outside.

Qin Xia reached the living room, saw her clothes tossed on the sofa, and quickly grabbed them.

Only after holding them did she realize her cheongsam from last night had been torn.

She was at a loss, internally lamenting the cost.

After scanning the room, not seeing anything wearable, she headed to the hotel’s dressing room.

Indeed, there she found her washed and dried underwear.

Chu Zhengran always did this.

Wash and tidy up for her.

Feeling a twinge of sadness, Qin Xia hurriedly dressed, donning Chu Zhengran’s casual pants and a T-shirt, quickly thrown on, and ran out.

Reaching the door, just as she opened it, a light bulb lit up in her mind.

Suddenly, memories of last night flooded back.

She turned around to gaze at the room.

They... seemed to have moved from the bathroom to the sofa, then to the balcony, and to the bed.

The last time was in the bathtub, where she just passed out.

Her memory was foggy.

But the physical sensations were clear.

She suddenly remembered Chu Zhengran’s intense energy last night.

Suddenly, being alive felt like a miracle.

She shivered, opened the door, and sneaked out quietly.

Afraid of waking Chu Zhengran, after exiting, she held the door handle, bent over, and slowly closed the door.

Without making a sound, she exhaled again. Standing upright, she turned to see six adults standing in the corridor.

Qin Xia jumped in fright, retreating three steps back.

Gu Yanjing, Qiao Yuxian, and the others who had just returned to the hotel, were at Qiao Weizhou’s door, watching Qin Xia sneak out of Chu Zhengran’s room and shut it like a thief.

Now she looked guilty, as if caught red-handed.

Qin Xia’s heart almost leaped out of her chest, she whispered, "What are you doing here?!"

Among them, Gu Yanjing was the calmest, casting a polite glance at Qin Xia before lowering his gaze.

The other five were completely baffled.

Lin Huai Shu’s voice was a bit stiff, "Um... that’s Old Chu’s room, right?"hat’s hard to buy.

Considering the numerous kiss marks on Qin Xia’s neck, collarbone, and below, visible due to the loose, ill-fitting T-shirt with a large neckline.

"What? You don’t believe me." Qin Xia continued to argue, "I have no reason to lie. We’re all good friends; I have no reason to hide this. I’m really alone, I..."

Before she could finish, the door suddenly opened from inside.

Chu Zhengran, wearing a robe, stepped out.

As Qin Xia saw him approaching from inside, her throat felt cemented; she was speechless. Her instinct was to stagger back two steps.

The first thought was to run.

But her legs felt like they were filled with lead, immobile.

Chu Zhengran first looked at Qin Xia, then at the six people, giving a simple greeting.

Then he gripped the back of Qin Xia’s neck, pulling her into the room, slamming the door shut with a bang.
