In that moment, that embrace stirred up emotions of warmth in Yu Lili. She felt a strange sensation in her heart. This familiar hug, this familiar scent, this familiar person… But, this could not happen.
Yu Lili’s expression tensed with fury. She pushed his hand off and hollered, “Are you f*cking insane? Who the hell are you to hug me? Disgusting!” With that, she pushed Ou Ming off.
Ou Ming’s eyes darkened, but under the light of the street lamp, his pupils remained lifeless and without focus.
Yu Lili turned back unintentionally and caught sight of the man’s desolation. She pursed her lips and helped him tuck his clothes back in. Holding on to his sleeve, she barked out, “Follow me! We’re going down the stairs!”
Her tone was very sharp. Even Yu Lili herself felt that her tone was a little overboard.
She kept her eyes trained on his feet and held on to him as he descended step by step. Ou Ming followed her slowly. When he finally reached the bottom, he opened his jacket again and pulled her over, saying, “It’s very cold.”
Yu Lili had been numb from the cold for a while. Suddenly being wrapped in a cocoon of warmth made her whole body feel a moment of fort. When she started to clearly sense the heat radiating from the man behind her, Yu Lili began to feel unfortable.
What was the meaning of this? Didn’t we break up? What did he mean by hugging like this? But, the weather is so cold, and it does feel good. Forget it, freezing to death isn’t worth it.
While Yu Lili was debating the wisdom of her actions, she brought Ou Ming to the side of the road and stopped a taxi. Given the awkward relationship between the two of them, it was impossible for her to take him back to the hotel she was currently staying at.
When they got in the car, she asked, “Do you have any form of identification with you?”
Yu Lili didn’t harbor much hope. After all, he hadn’t brought any money with him. He had no cell phone and no wallet, so how would he have his identification with him?
She was caught by surprise when Ou Ming managed to produce a white card out of his pocket.
Resident Identity Card…
Yu Lili brought the card close to take a look at it. It was indeed Ou Ming’s Resident Identity Card. When she saw his identity card, she became even more suspicious and asked, “What on earth are you doing here?”
Ou Ming didn’t say a word, but he slowly started to remove the jacket, as if to take it off.
Yu Lili saw that, and stopped his hand mid-action. Somewhat fiercely, she asked, “What are you doing?”
“Disrobing.” He succinctly replied with one word.
The taxi driver turned his head over with a strange expression in his eyes.
“Keep it on! I cannot let you freeze to death, dumbass!” Yu Lili roughly readjusted Ou Ming’s jacket for him and snapped at the driver, “Go to the nearest hotel.”
The driver gave her a look and asked, “What kind of hotel do you want to go to? There are plenty of hotels nearby.”
“Go to a more premium one. One that is four… no, five stars.” Yu Lili’s heart began to ache.
Those hotels are so expensive, but would this scoundrel be able to survive in a normal hotel?
The moment Yu Lili heard herself, something didn’t feel right.
Why on earth am I concerned for his well-being? I must be insane!
Immediately, she retracted her statement and said, “Just go to a normal hotel.”
The driver nodded his head and soon stopped after a traffic junction. The entrance to the hotel looked majestic and imposing. Yu Lili looked up and saw the huge signage: Sheraton Resort.
F*ck… It’s a five star hotel! This driver is out to rip me off!
