Chapter 180 An Unexpected Encounter on Sea God's Island, an Uninvited Guest, Tang Chen._1

With a slight creak from the door, Dugu Yan pushed it open, first peeking out a small head.

Seeing Qin Xiao sitting seriously at the edge of the bed, her face immediately reddened.

Qin Xiao said somewhat irritably, "Didn't you want to see me? Come in then."

"Okay." Dugu Yan replied and walked in.

It was then that Qin Xiao noticed Dugu Yan's attire was also quite minimal.

A white, midriff-baring tank top showcased her slender waist vividly.

A pair of blue denim shorts perfectly revealed her long, straight legs before Qin Xiao's eyes.

Her outfit was a perfect expression of youth and vitality.

At this moment.

Dugu Yan had already come to Qin Xiao's side.

"Your Highness, I can't sleep. Can we talk?"

Dugu Yan first lowered her head, but then seemed to have figured something out and suddenly looked up at Qin Xiao without fear.

"What do you want to talk about?" Qin Xiao asked calmly.

In contrast, Dugu Yan didn't directly answer Qin Xiao's question, but instead, she took his hand boldly.

"You this..."

Qin Xiao was somewhat speechless. If you want to talk, let's talk, but why are you taking advantage of me?

Isn't this a bit too much?

"Phew..."

Dugu Yan took a deep breath and then did something that very much surprised Qin Xiao.

She actually placed Qin Xiao's hand upon her chest.

"Hmm?" Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow, internally exclaiming, "Good gracious."

He had some conjectures about Dugu Yan's intention, but he never expected this girl to be so bold.

However, the springy touch that came from his palm instinctively caused Qin Xiao to grip a little harder.

"Ying..."

In contrast, Meng Yiran only felt a tingling sensation spreading throughout her body.

Her entire being felt weak.

She naturally leaned into Qin Xiao's embrace.

Under the bed.

Ning Rongrong didn't need to look to know what had happened.

For a while, she wasn't sure how she felt, but one thing was certain—she kept cursing Qin Xiao under her breath for being a bad guy, insatiable...

But, she soon realized another issue—that if Qin Xiao really wanted to do something with Dugu Yan...

Was she supposed to just listen to it?

She panicked.

I should be on the bed, not under it...

"Your Highness, are you there?"

At that moment, Ning Rongrong heard a voice outside the door and felt like salvation had arrived.

"Not good, Zhu Qing is here."

Dugu Yan, like a startled little rabbit, instantly wriggled her way out of Qin Xiao's embrace.

"It's over, it's over, what do I do now?"

Dugu Yan paced around in a panic.

Finally, after looking around the room, her gaze fixed on the space under the bed.

"I suggest you don't do that..."

Qin Xiao whispered a warning.

But Dugu Yan wasn't about to consider that now, as she dived straight under the bed.

It's either a blessing or a curse, but a curse can't be avoided... Qin Xiao said to the outside, "Come on in, everyone."

The next moment, Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran walked into the room.

"Why are you still up so late?"

Qin Xiao asked with a smile.

"We felt that we should keep you company..."

Meng Yiran replied softly.

Good, very good, extremely good... Qin Xiao was touched.

He liked them being proactive.

It was just that everyone had arrived together, which wasn't very coincidental.

Zhu Zhuqing opened her mouth slightly, about to say something, when suddenly, a cry of surprise came from under Qin Xiao's bed.

"Ah!"

"Ghost!"

Right then, everyone saw Dugu Yan, dressed in a white midriff-baring tank top, scramble out from under the bed in a panic.

"Dugu Yan, what is this... "

Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran were astounded.

"Under the bed, I don't know what it was, it even tried to cover my mouth."

Dugu Yan pointed under the bed, still looking shaken.

"All right, all right."

"Can you not scream like that, Dugu Yan..."

At that moment, another voice of complaint came from under the bed as Ning Rongrong also crawled out from underneath.

"Rongrong, why is it you?"

Seeing Ning Rongrong appear, Dugu Yan was shocked.

"Why I'm under the bed has a story very similar, in fact, identical to yours. It's better left unmentioned..."

"Then why did you cover my mouth..."

"Wasn't it to prevent you from discovering me and making unnecessary noise? I just didn't expect it to backfire...."

Ning Rongrong spread her hands in resignation.

Uh, my bad then... Dugu Yan's face showed an unnatural color.

But, if you think about it carefully, what Ning Rongrong did wasn't really wrong.

"Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, what are you doing here?"

At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing's cool voice sounded, eyeing the two of them warily.

Right away.

Ning Rongrong gave her explanation, "Don't worry, I definitely didn't come to assassinate Qin Xiao..."

Dugu Yan replied, "If I say I couldn't find my way back to the bedroom, you probably... won't believe me, right... Ha, haha...."

She tried to use the awkward joke to ease the awkwardness.

However, the atmosphere only grew more awkward.

"Haha, it's rare for us to gather like this, let's play something different today."

Qin Xiao's laughter broke the awkwardness, yet also drew everyone's gaze.

Some were puzzled, some frowned.

Ning Rongrong was even slightly embarrassed as she said, "Qin Xiao, having all of us together like this, isn't great... I think there should be a process... "

Qin Xiao: "..."

He shook his head, "I was planning to teach you a game called mahjong. It's not possible with too few people."

"I see..."

Ning Rongrong realized, rubbing her little fists, and asked, "Then who will be the mahjong tiles?"

Qin Xiao: "..."

...

The morning sun began to rise.
