"Click."

The bathroom door opened, and Qin Ruojing and Tong Yaqi walked out side by side.

Although Chu Ge was playing a game on the computer, his ears weren't idle. Besides listening to the game's music from the speakers, he was also paying attention to the noises coming from the bathroom.

As a man, knowing that two beautiful women were showering just a few meters away, could he really be completely indifferent?

Although Chu Ge figured he'd probably end up sleeping on the sofa today, as soon as he heard the "click," he immediately noticed it. Still, he resisted turning around and pretended to focus on the computer screen, fingers tapping away on the keyboard.

He was playing a game called Metal Slug, using a character with a lion's mane hairstyle; his character had already "died" without him realizing it. His fingers kept tapping the keyboard until the countdown numbers on the screen went from ten to one before he noticed. Then he resurrected the lion-haired character with another life.

Once the lion-haired soldier was revived, Chu Ge used it to defeat a few enemies before hearing Qin Ruojing's voice from behind.

"Chu Ge, we're done showering. You should go clean up."

As if just realizing Qin Ruojing had come out, Chu Ge played the game for another few seconds before turning around to look.

In sight were two stunning beauties, two freshly showered beauties, and Chu Ge was momentarily stunned.

However, what made Chu Ge stunned was that these two women were already fully dressed?

Even though Chu Ge prided himself on being composed, his mouth twitched, and his forehead was lined with frustration. He even secretly cursed in his mind.

Are you kidding me? Even if I knew you wouldn't come out naked, can't you at least wear a bathrobe, exposing a little neck and leg?

Dressing so properly right after a shower, don't these clothes feel tight around you?

As they say, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Right now, Chu Ge was a bit annoyed.

While Chu Ge was sulking, Qin Ruojing unexpectedly pulled out a pack of cigarettes from the bag on the sofa and handed it to him, patting him on the shoulder.

"Hurry up, why just sit there dumbly? I brought this for you to smoke, here."

Qin Ruojing said with a smile and walked toward the suite where the big bed was, leaving Chu Ge holding the pack of cigarettes, stunned as he watched her back.

Tong Yaqi didn't say anything, holding two nightgowns in her hand, she smiled slightly at Chu Ge and followed Qin Ruojing.

"What does Qin Ruojing mean by this? Could it be... hmm? Probably not, right?"

Chu Ge blinked, looking at the cigarette pack in his hand, wondering why Qin Ruojing, who he distinctly remembered hating the smell of smoke, would bring him cigarettes.

Leaving the computer chair, Chu Ge walked into the bathroom, adjusted the water to pure cold to cool himself down, and meanwhile, he was constantly pondering whether, after his shower, to obediently go to sleep on the sofa or climb into bed to test Qin Ruojing's reaction.

It must be said, this choice was tough.

After showering, Chu Ge was still conflicted until his skin air-dried naturally. Only then did he make up his mind, stepping out of the bathroom, lighting up one of the cigarettes Qin Ruojing brought, and lay on the outside sofa.

Despite the immense temptation of the big bed in the suite and the two women on it, Chu Ge didn't want to play with fire. It's one thing to take small advantages of Qin Ruojing occasionally, but he didn't want to actually get involved and cause unnecessary trouble for himself.

"Chu Ge, finished showering?"

Just as Chu Ge lay down on the sofa, Qin Ruojing's voice came from the suite.

Chu Ge responded with a "hmm," lying on the sofa without moving, thinking, "Your ears are sharp, what do you want now?"

Qin Ruojing didn't reply back. For the next few minutes, there were only whispering voices as soft as mosquito hums from the suite, clearly the two women were talking secretly. Even with Chu Ge's hearing, he couldn't make out what they were saying.

Just when Chu Ge thought the night would pass safely, he heard footsteps, and then saw Tong Yaqi, wearing a nightgown, walking out.

"Chu Ge, why are you lying here? Jingjing is waiting for you."

Tong Yaqi came to the side of the sofa, a light smile playing at her lips as she asked.

Chu Ge rolled his eyes, straightened up from the sofa, and pulled Tong Yaqi's hand, seating her beside him.

"I say, Yaqi, just what is Qin Ruojing trying to pull? Does she really want the three of us to sleep together?"

Filled with bewilderment and frustration, Chu Ge leaned to her ear and asked softly.

"Seems like it, why, are you scared?" Sensing Chu Ge's annoyance and dilemma, Tong Yaqi replied with a soft chuckle.

Chu Ge forced a smile and nodded, "Yeah, I'm really not sure. Yaqi, tell me the truth, is Qin Ruojing serious about me?"

Tong Yaqi was about to speak when Qin Ruojing walked out from inside, "Chu Ge, Yaqi, what are you two whispering about over here? Is there something I can't hear?"

Tong Yaqi's hand paused mid-movement and she immediately moved it aside, feeling a bit embarrassed being caught in Qin Ruojing's gaze.

"Chu Ge, now that Xiao Jing is here, whatever you need to ask, just ask Xiao Jing directly. I won't get involved."

Tong Yaqi chuckled, stood up from the sofa, looked at both Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing, and then returned to the suite inside.

"Boss, you..."

Alone with Qin Ruojing, Chu Ge got a bit nervous and hesitated for a moment before deciding to talk openly with her. However, as soon as he started to speak, Qin Ruojing interrupted him.

"Don't call me Boss, call me Xiao Jing or Jingjing. Weren't you calling me that quite fluently before? Alright, whatever you want to say, do it tomorrow. It's late, come sleep with me."

Saying that, Qin Ruojing walked up to Chu Ge, taking his hand, clearly intending to pull him off the sofa and back to the room.

Chu Ge broke into a sweat and quickly pulled his hand away, "Sis, can we not mess around like this?"

Qin Ruojing had been quite apprehensive, but seeing Chu Ge be so evasive towards her again, her nervousness immediately turned into annoyance. She leaned forward and grabbed Chu Ge's hand again.

"Who's messing with you? Haven't you shared a room with me, or with Yaqi? Acting like sharing a bed with us is such a big deal for you."

Chu Ge quickly shook his head, "No, but isn't it different?"

"Why is it different? I'm a pure maiden and I haven't said anything, why are you, a big guy, making such a fuss?"

Seeing Chu Ge looking as if he was terribly startled, Qin Ruojing got even more frustrated, and without saying a word, pulled harder on Chu Ge's hand.

"No, hey, hey, you..."

"Are you a man or what? Since when did you become so fussy?"

Feeling Qin Ruojing's determined demeanor that wouldn't relent until she got her way, Chu Ge could only smile wryly.

Even though he could easily shake off Qin Ruojing with his strength, doing so would really hurt her feelings.

Even if he didn't want to discuss feelings with Qin Ruojing, due to everything she had done for him in the past, he didn't want to be too harsh and ruin their friendship.

Full of helplessness, Chu Ge ended up being pulled by Qin Ruojing into the suite inside.

In his line of sight, Tong Yaqi was lying sideways on the bed, making it impossible for him to see her expression, and there was a lot of space left on the bed, enough for two more people to sleep on.

"Get in here."

Qin Ruojing tugged Chu Ge into the room, but instead of moving close to the bed, he sat down on a sofa far away from the large bed.

"Who told you to sit on the sofa? Aren't you going to sleep?"

Qin Ruojing pulled at Chu Ge, but he didn't get up. With her strength, trying to pull him up was clearly a joke.

Qin Ruojing pulled Chu Ge a couple more times, realizing she was making no progress, she said nothing more and sat down beside him on the couch.

Sitting there, Chu Ge felt like he had never been so well-behaved before. He kept his hands obediently at his sides, staring straight up at the ceiling in the dark, feeling altogether awkward and out of place.

At this moment, besides being tense and embarrassed, Chu Ge had no other thoughts. Compared to sitting stiffly on the sofa, he would rather Qin Ruojing kick him out right now, so he could go back to the other room and continue being the sofa master.

Initially, when Chu Ge returned to the hotel with the two women, he did think about using this opportunity to scare Qin Ruojing a bit, to stop her from doing these absurd things. But from how things looked now, it seemed he was the one being scared by Qin Ruojing.

He really couldn't tell if he made a move on Qin Ruojing, what kind of reaction she would have.

If Qin Ruojing rejected and resisted, that would be the outcome Chu Ge hoped for, but if Qin Ruojing acted all willing and compliant, that would be playing with fire.

Chu Ge sat immobile on the sofa in the room, grappling with his helplessness for a while, finally deciding to give it a try.

After all, based on his interactions with Qin Ruojing till now, he felt her behavior over these past two days was more of a bluff.

He glanced over at Qin Ruojing to gauge her reaction. She was also sitting straight on the couch, staring ahead, without any intention of speaking.
