186: Chapter 186 Why does the shower gel in this hotel smell so good?

Xia Ning walked into the room.

She heard a "bang" as the door closed behind her.

She quickly turned around, glanced at the tightly shut door, and asked anxiously, "Why did you close the door?"

Qin Xun looked surprised.

"Do you not close the door when you sleep?"

Xia Ning pursed her lips, realizing she was being overly sensitive.

Then she saw Qin Xun actually locking the door from the inside.

"Why are you double-locking it?"

She stared at Qin Xun with wide eyes, feeling a hint of unease in her heart.

Double-locking the door—was this to prevent her from running away?

Or to prevent someone from the outside from breaking in to save her?

Seeing the panicked look on Xia Ning's face, Qin Xun turned the deadbolt back and smiled.

"It's just a habit."

He walked in and placed his suitcase against the wall.

"Do you want to shower first, or should I?"

Xia Ning said, "I'll go first."

Her voice was somewhat hurried, fearing that if she hesitated for even a second, Qin Xun would go in to shower first.

Qin Xun was the type of person who would do something so ungentlemanly, and he certainly had a track record of it.

Qin Xun didn't say anything.

Being soaking wet, it wasn't convenient for him to sit on the bed, so he walked over to the chair at the computer desk, sat down, and turned on the computer.

Xia Ning walked to her suitcase, laid it flat, knelt on the floor to open it, and rummaged through it for suitable clothes.

Suddenly, a drop of rainwater slid from her chin onto her chest.

She instinctively looked down and her whole body tensed up—her white shirt was already soaked through, clinging to her chest and faintly revealing an alluring silhouette.

Suddenly, Xia Ning felt a gaze fixed intently on her from above, and she felt a slight chill on her chest.

She slowly took a breath, lifted her head, and saw Qin Xun busy working on the computer, not looking her way at all.

She let out a sigh of relief.

Xia Ning gathered her clothes and walked quickly toward the bathroom.

She closed the door.

She realized that this bathroom also used the glass commonly found in hotels, and it was transparent glass.

It was completely visible from both inside and out.

She felt a bit displeased.

In a room with a large bed, couples might enjoy the mood and play out a scene of watching a beauty bathe.

But why would a standard room use transparent glass?

Xia Ning sighed and quickly pulled the shower curtain to block the glass partition.

She only left about a foot of glass exposed at the very top.

She carefully inspected it and found no gaps.

Unless Qin Xun was shameless enough to stand on the bed and look in from the top glass, he wouldn't be able to see anything.

Xia Ning pricked up her ears and undressed vigilantly.

One piece, then another.

As she took off her bra and her hands touched her panties, she suddenly heard a woman's seductive voice ring out in the room.

"Little handsome, come and play!"

Xia Ning quickly covered her chest with both hands, crouched down, and shouted, "Qin Xun, what are you watching?"

Qin Xun's helpless voice came back.

"A piece of junk ad, it popped up on its own."

Recalling that such suggestive ads sometimes popped up when she was browsing the news, she reluctantly believed he hadn't done it on purpose.

She slowly stood up and turned on the shower.

The water splashed down.

...

Less than five minutes later, Xia Ning walked out, fully dressed with a towel wrapped around her head.

"Qin Xun, it's your turn."

Qin Xun turned around and saw Xia Ning.

Seeing her dressed in a white shirt, a suit jacket, and dress pants, bundled up completely, he was taken aback.

"Xia Ning, you... you... in this getup, what kind of person do you take me for?"

"If you wore pajamas, what could I even do to you?"

Xia Ning looked at Qin Xun, narrowed her eyes slightly, snorted, and muttered to herself.

Don't think I've forgotten that you once told Mi Xier you wanted to sleep with me eight or nine times a week!

One should not have the intention to harm others, but one must have the intention to guard against them.

To minimize the risk, she hadn't even used body wash, shampoo, or anything with a scent while showering.

Let alone smelling like cream, she didn't even have a hint of fragrance on her.

Qin Xun opened his backpack, looked down, and let out an exclamation.

"Damn, everything is soaked through!"

He turned the backpack upside down, and with a "thud," a few pieces of clothing fell out, sticking to the floor.

"Forget it! I'll just wrap myself in a bathrobe for now."

"I'll wring them out later and hang them under the air conditioner to dry."

Hearing this, Xia Ning frowned, imagining the scene.

Completely naked, wrapped in just a bathrobe.

Wouldn't that... wouldn't that make you a gigolo?

She hurriedly said, "You go wash up first, and I'll dry them for you."

Qin Xun paused, his gaze falling on Xia Ning's lips.

"You'll dry me?"

Xia Ning's face flushed hot, feeling that he was doing it on purpose, and she pointed to the hair dryer in the suitcase.

"I meant dry the clothes with the hair dryer!"

"What are you thinking about?"

Qin Xun laughed awkwardly.

"I thought... I thought you were going to use the hair dryer to blow-dry me!"

He walked quickly toward the bathroom, but as he passed by Xia Ning, he suddenly stopped and sniffed.

"What kind of body wash does this hotel use?"

"It has a very pleasant, fresh scent."

Xia Ning: "..."

Qin Xun went into the bathroom, and the sound of water started.

Xia Ning lifted her arm and sniffed.

Does it smell?

Is there a scent?

She shook her head, picked up a T-shirt and a pair of pants from the floor, but then saw a pair of underwear on the floor and looked embarrassed.

"Qin Xun, today... can you not wear underwear?"

"I don't want to dry your underwear."

From inside the bathroom, Qin Xun's voice came.

"If you don't want to dry them, then don't!"

"I'll dry them myself when I come out."

Xia Ning paused, wondering if she had been too polite—why did she ask such a stupid question?

She frowned slightly, stood up, and pretended to accidentally step on Qin Xun's underwear.

She walked to the bedside.

She tried her best to wring out as much water as possible before turning on the hair dryer to blow them dry.

It was her own high-speed hair dryer, and the airflow was very strong.

After a few minutes, the clothes were dry.

She began to dry the pants.

After blowing for a few minutes, Xia Ning shook her head and smiled bitterly.

I'm becoming more and more like a mother.

Suddenly!

She thought of something, her expression changed drastically, and she shouted, "Qin Xun, you are not allowed to look!"

Qin Xun's voice came from the bathroom.

"Not allowed to look at what?"

Xia Ning: "..."

"Nothing."

She felt a bit embarrassed, thinking she had overthought things.

Although Qin Xun wasn't a good person, he wouldn't be that sleazy.

Xia Ning turned off the hair dryer.

She heard that the shower water had stopped, but there was a splashing sound.

She became a bit wary.

"Qin Xun, what are you doing?"

Qin Xun's voice came back.

"I'm washing my clothes!"

"Did you think I was as lazy as you?"

"After taking a bath, you don't wash your clothes?"

Xia Ning muttered to herself.

It was clearly because I was in a hurry to make space for you that I washed so quickly.

Talk about ungrateful!

She held the clothes and pants in both hands and walked to the bathroom door.

"Your clothes and pants are dry, I'm hanging them on the doorknob, you can take them and put them on later."

She heard Qin Xun laughing inside the bathroom.

"Little Xia, I won't say thank you."

"Because I also washed your clothes while I was at it."

Xia Ning was struck by lightning, frozen in place.

Qin Xun had just acted innocent asking "what are you watching," but as it turns out, not only did he look, but he also touched them?

What a pervert!

Suddenly, Xia Ning felt that her underwear was no longer clean.

She couldn't keep them!

Both ashamed and angry, she instinctively clenched the clothes in her hands and gave a violent tug.

Rip!

At the same time, Qin Xun's voice came from the bathroom.

"But you washed your own underwear, and since you didn't dry my underwear, this is the only way we're truly even."

Xia Ning came to her senses and let out a sigh of relief.

She looked down and saw that the pants in her hand were ripped at the crotch.

Her heart hung in her throat again, not knowing how to face Qin Xun.

Qin Xun was very lazy and had only brought one pair of pants to change into.

From inside the bathroom, Qin Xun asked, "Little Xia, what was that sound just now?"

"Did you do a split while walking?"

"I think I heard the sound of pants ripping at the crotch."
