Chapter 201 What are you doing bringing me to the hotel?
Hua Lan got off the bus.
She was still wearing the same clothes she wore that morning, but she looked listless, as if all her strength had been drained.
What were they doing?
Where is her boyfriend?
Why is she all alone?
Full of doubt, Chu Xiao pushed open the car door and got out.
He stood there, while Hua Lan walked toward the school gate with her head down, completely unaware of his presence.
"Hua Lan," Chu Xiao called out.
Perhaps because he hadn't spoken for so long, his already authoritative voice had become somewhat deep, making him even more unapproachable.
Upon hearing this, Hua Lan instinctively straightened her head and looked in the direction from which the voice came.
Chu Xiao?
Perhaps she was too tired and her eyes were blurry.
I just had a dream on the bus where Chu Xiao yelled at me, and now Chu Xiao has appeared.
There's no such thing as a miracle; she must not have woken up properly.
Hua Lan rubbed her eyes, opening them wide, wanting to see more clearly.
When she opened her eyes again, Chu Xiao was indeed there.
He was frowning, looking at her with a deep expression, and it was impossible to tell what he was feeling.
She had made up her mind not to contact Chu Xiao all morning, so what does it mean that he's showing up at the school gate now?
Hua Lan subconsciously didn't want to see Chu Xiao or talk to him, lest he influence her decision.
But if she tried to run, she couldn't outrun Chu Xiao, nor did she have the courage to.
Forced by Chu Xiao's imposing presence, she had no choice but to slowly move to his side, no matter how unwilling she was.
Hua Lan lowered her head, not daring to look at Chu Xiao.
He's so tall. Standing next to him, she probably only reaches his chest, Hua Lan thought.
Chu Xiao remained silent, and the two remained locked in a stalemate.
She bit her lip and spoke first, "When...when did you get here?"
“Yesterday,” Chu Xiao said succinctly.
A long silence fell between the two.
Chu Xiao remained silent.
Hua Lan's legs were sore and tired, and all she wanted to do was go back to her dorm, collapse on her bed, and get a good night's sleep.
"If you have nothing else to do, I'll go back to sleep now."
"I have something to do."
Hua Lan clenched her small fists tightly, her small anger held in her palms.
If you need something, just say so, bro!
I'm not saying anything; my heels hurt so much from standing like this.
"You say it," the little orchid said in a low voice, her tone much weaker.
After thinking for a few seconds, Chu Xiao didn't know where to begin. At least she had to ask about her boyfriend, "Where's your boyfriend?"
How dare she ask her boyfriend?
Hua Lan glanced at him without any intimidation, then looked away.
Chu Xiao's heart skipped a beat.
When asked why she was feeling wronged, her boyfriend replied...
"You haven't contacted me for over a month, and you don't even go home during your holidays. Isn't that because of your boyfriend?"
Hua Lan was so angry that she raised her foot and kicked hard, but she silently withdrew her strength just before kicking Chu Xiao's shin.
She couldn't bear to see him in pain.
Finally, a kick that wasn't particularly forceful grazed Chu Xiao's calf.
Chu Xiao hadn't yet realized what she was doing.
Hua Lan had already turned and walked towards the school gate.
He took two big strides to catch up and nimbly grabbed Hua Lan's hand. "You haven't finished speaking, why are you running?"
Hua Lan didn't turn around to look at him, letting him pull her along, since she couldn't win against him anyway.
Even if you force it, it will still break her hand; she's afraid of the pain.
"There's nothing to say between us. I'll pay you back the money I owe you later."
Her voice was muffled, clearly tinged with tears.
Pay me back!
Chu Xiao frowned, looking puzzled.
She even started crying?
With a little force, he pulled the person back, bent down, and hoisted them onto his shoulder.
Their movements were swift and efficient, without any hesitation.
The sudden headfirst fall startled Hua Lan, who cried out in surprise, "Ah!"
"What are you doing?" She struggled to get down, her hands on Chu Xiao's shoulders, her tears dried up from fright.
Seeing the situation was getting out of hand, the security guard ran out with a stun gun. "Excuse me, do you need help?"
Chu Xiao tightened his grip on her knees and threatened in a low voice, "Say I'm your brother! Otherwise, I'll spank your bottom."
To show that he really would beat her, Chu Xiao lightly patted her buttocks twice.
Summer pants are thin to begin with, and Hua Lan blushed with embarrassment, her round face turning bright red.
This was too embarrassing in public; she just wanted to get off Chu Xiao's shoulder as soon as possible.
She obediently did as she was told, "No need, thank you, security guard. This is my brother; he's here to take me home."
After saying that, he chuckled twice to ease the awkwardness.
Security guard: "Brothers and sisters should talk things out."
Hua Lan chuckled, "That's how it is in our family."
In any family in the village with two children, there's bound to be some kind of squabble.
Since it's a family matter, the security guards shouldn't interfere.
It's really a bit unreasonable to stay at school all day instead of going home during the holidays.
The security guard had nothing to say. Chu Xiao carried her and walked a few steps to the car.
Hua Lan's abdomen was hurting from being pressed against Chu Xiao's hard muscles and bones. This man was really rough and rude!
Before she could recover from the abdominal pain, the world spun around her, and Chu Xiao threw her into the passenger seat.
Chu Xiao's already dark face darkened even more. Without saying a word, he pulled the seatbelt over and firmly strapped her to the chair.
Hua Lan was completely dazed. This person had no sense of tenderness or gentleness towards women, and his actions were anything but gentle!
Chu Xiao started the car, and Hua Lan felt a burning sensation all over her body. She kept her head down, not daring to look around.
Chu Xiao teased her with a half-smile, "Aren't you going to tell your boyfriend?"
She's such a grown woman, yet she does such childish things.
In Chu Xiao's eyes, was she really that immature?
No wonder people always say she's not capable of being a military wife!
Hua Lan felt annoyed. "I'm not a child who needs to ask others for help with everything."
To Chu Xiao, these words meant that she had a boyfriend.
He pressed down with his foot, and the car suddenly accelerated.
Hua Lan was so frightened that she gripped the handle on the car door tightly.
"This isn't a village, slow down."
"We're all driving the same way." Chu Xiao showed no intention of slowing down.
There was a large truck in front of us, and we were about to hit its rear.
Hua Lan's heart leaped into her throat. She screamed, "I'm scared! Please slow down!"
Whether it was because she said she was scared or because she begged him, Chu Xiao's car did slow down.
Hua Lan's heart was pounding. Chu Xiao was really too much. Life is so precious. How could he do something so dangerous!
Why are you doing this? I hate it when you do this!
"When I'm driving, you'd better not say or do anything that excites me."
If he raised his voice even slightly, Hua Lan would immediately fall silent, keeping her head down and not daring to provoke him.
Her long ponytail hung down, lifeless, swaying with the car.
Yes, how could she forget.
When Chu Xiao is in a good mood, she can jump around as much as she wants. When he's in a bad mood, she has to stay quiet.
The journey was quiet, and Chu Xiao drove directly to the underground parking lot.
He got out of the car, and the sound of the door closing was deafening, making Hua Lan tremble.
Then the door beside him was opened, and Chu Xiao's voice, which wasn't exactly commanding but also unfriendly, rang out, "Get down."
Hua Lan remained seated, her hands gripping the seatbelt buckles, her voice tense, "Why did you bring me to the hotel?"
She clearly saw the sign at the entrance when the car drove in.
This is the hotel's underground parking lot.
