Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 417 Back to the Hotel

Yue Qihua and Yang Xingyue both discussed the merits of a film based on its plot.

Ai Liang, on the other hand, analyzes the overall structure directly.

These are all pieces of knowledge stored in the memory bank from certain directors and film university professors.

"Yes, the structure is indeed very messy..."

Yue Qihua never denied this point.

With nothing to do, Yang Xingyue glanced at the time on the movie theater screen and exclaimed, "Oh dear! It's already so late!"

Yue Qihua followed Yang Xingyue's gaze and glanced at her: "It is indeed getting late, we should go home."

The three of them left the apartment and took a taxi around six o'clock after dinner.

Now that I've finished watching a movie, it's already past eight o'clock.

The rain outside the mall was still drizzling, showing no signs of stopping, although it was much lighter than before nightfall.

Ai Liang, as always, hailed a taxi to take the two of them back to their apartment.

While waiting for the taxi to arrive, he went to a nearby barbecue restaurant and bought a few skewers of grilled chicken wings to go.

After getting off the bus, Ai Liang planned to say a simple goodbye and go straight home, but Yang Xingyue did not open her umbrella after getting off the bus. Instead, she walked directly under Ai Liang's umbrella and snuggled into Ai Liang's arms.

Yang Xingyue looked up at Ai Liang with wet eyes: "It's just a short distance, it's okay if we squeeze in, right?"

The two were very close together, and Ai Liang could clearly feel the heat from the other's clothes and the soft touch on her side.

Ai Liang didn't speak, but instead turned her gaze to Yue Qihua, who was holding an umbrella beside her.

The latter didn't say anything, but glanced at Ai Liang's other arm intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing this, Ai Liang had no choice but to let Yang Xingyue lean on him and try to get her to the roof of the apartment building as soon as possible.

Yang Xingyue tried to slow down her pace so that Ai Liang wouldn't walk too fast.

For the first time, she so desperately wished the journey could be longer, much longer.

The distance from the roadside to the apartment building is less than 20 meters. Even if you only take one step per second, you can't last a minute.

"Then I'll head back to the hotel now."

After delivering the person, Ai Liang quickly distanced herself from Yang Xingyue.

"Wait a moment!"

Yang Xingyue shouted instinctively.

Ai Liang looked at her: "Is there anything else?"

Yang Xingyue didn't have anything to say, she just didn't want Ai Liang to leave like that, so she subconsciously called out to make him stop.

After pausing for about seven or eight seconds, Yang Xingyue mustered her courage and said with a "let's go for it" attitude: "Um! Ai Liang, why don't you... just stay at our house tonight... anyway... in the guest room..."

Yang Xingyue's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost impossible to hear what she was saying next.

Although Yue Qihua was initially startled, she did not refute him at this moment, but looked at Ai Liang with a hopeful yet fearful gaze.

When a girl invites a guy to her house for the night at this time, what she wants to express is all too obvious.

Perhaps Yang Xingyue just wanted to stay with Ai Liang a little longer, which is why she invited Ai Liang to stay at her house.

But if Ai Liang has those kinds of thoughts, she probably wouldn't refuse under duress.

Ai Liang calmly waited for Yang Xingyue to finish speaking, not giving her a chance to anxiously wait for a reply: "I told the teacher that I would go back later, not that I wouldn't go back."

Yang Xingyue's heart tightened; she sensed a chance!
"Well, you could tell the teacher that you're staying in an apartment across from the hotel..."

Yang Xingyue took a step towards Ai Liang, as if to encourage herself.

Ai Liang waved the roasted chicken wings in her hand: "Never mind, I still need to bring out late-night snacks for my classmates."

At this moment, chicken wings are the best talisman, firmly blocking the little devil who is tempted by Ai's cool body.

Having said all that, Yang Xingyue knew very well that Ai Liang would not stay overnight at her house.

Based on her understanding of Ai Liang over the past three years, the other party really hates attracting attention.

If Ai Liang doesn't go back, it will inevitably attract the attention of the classmate who asked him to bring her late-night snacks, and who knows what rumors will spread.

Yang Xingyue looked at the chicken wings in Ai Liang's hand with a hint of resentment, feeling a slight bitterness towards the classmate she had never met.

Yue Qihua breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hand, saying, "Alright, you can go back now. Come visit us again sometime."

Ai Liang picked up the umbrella from the ground: "Okay, I'll go back now. I'll come back when I have the chance."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xingyue's disappointed eyes began to brighten again.

“After all, neither Ma Yu nor Xiao Xiao had a holiday this time, so they didn’t have time to meet,” Ai Liang added.

"Can't you just finish what you're saying at once! I thought you were reluctant to part with your Sister Hua." Yue Qihua suddenly walked over and punched Ai Liang.

“We can usually keep in touch via video, but Ma Yu and the others aren’t even allowed to bring their phones.”

"You really are as bad at saying nice things as ever..."

Ai Liang shrugged, didn't answer, turned and walked into the rain, heading towards the hotel.

With no one around and no surveillance cameras, he could confidently use his telekinesis to deflect the rain.

………………

Ding dong, ding dong.

"coming!"

After the doorbell rang twice, Ye Qing abandoned Yi Wenna, who was playing Go with her, and hurriedly ran to the door in her slippers.

"Xiao Qing, you ordered midnight snacks again?" Yi Wenna asked curiously.

Ye Qing put her hand on the doorknob: "Yes, I ordered roasted chicken wings for delivery."

"Roasted chicken wings? From that nearby place..."

Yi Wenna leaned halfway out to look at the doorway, and before she could finish speaking, she suddenly widened her eyes and stared intently at the figure in the doorway.

"I thought you weren't coming back tonight."

Ye Qing took the paper bag and said with a smile, "Want to come in and have a couple?"

"No, it's getting late, I haven't had any late-night snacks..."

"Oh dear, you can develop it slowly if you don't have it yet. Come in, come in."

Without saying a word, Ye Qing pulled Ai Liang into the room and slammed the door shut.

The thud of the door closing nearly shattered Yi Wenna's fragile heart.

She forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, clutching the cushion tightly: "Xiao Qing, letting Ai Liang into our room in the middle of the night... isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"It's just that we came in to eat something. If you don't say anything, no one will know."

Ye Qing didn't care about such a trivial matter at all.

She frequently visited Ai Liang's home and had no such concerns whatsoever.

Ye Qing tore open the small square bag, pulled out disposable gloves, and handed them to Ai Liang.

"Oh, it's still warm. Thank you for making the special trip."

Ye Qing put on her gloves and held the chicken wing to Ai Liang's mouth, a sight that made Yi Wenna's eyes widen in amazement.

The way you feed them is so skillful... How do you usually eat at home?!

Yi Wenna was shocked and angry, and at the same time, she felt a little regretful.

If I had just agreed to have a late-night snack with Ye Qing, would she feed me like this?
