* Torture (minor repair)*
Looking at the large bed that occupied most of the room, Lu Jia helplessly closed her eyes and let out a long sigh.
And what was even more devastating was that she noticed that the toilet door was actually made of matte glass.
Embarrassing.
At this moment, there were only her and Phoenix in the room. The atmosphere was inexplicably stagnant because of this. Lu Jia suddenly felt her body start to heat up, especially the places he touched today.
Calm down... Calm down!
Could it be that she took the scumbag's act seriously?
…This is crazy!
If Lu Jia didn't have enough time and space to have a private conversation with Phoenix before, then now, after so many things had happened, the small and depressing space made Lu Jia have an impulse.
She felt that she needed to have a good talk with him about what had happened in the past two days.
"Listen, Mr. Phoenix. I understand your situation is difficult, but I feel that your behavior has crossed the line. Do you remember what you swore last time?"
Phoenix put the backpack on her shoulder into the closet and looked up at Lu Jia, who had a serious expression on her face. She was silent for a moment." I remember. I'm sorry, Lou. I know this is offensive to you."
His deep blue eyes were crystal clear, and his charming eyes stared straight at Lu Jia. His lips were tightly pursed, as if she was the only one in the world at this moment.
" I can't guarantee that something like this won't happen in the future, but when we get to Los Angeles, I can guarantee that I will definitely let you leave and let you return to the world you belong to."
“……”
Seeing his sincere attitude, Lu Jia couldn't say anything more to blame him. His words made Lu Jia feel as if their worlds were separated. When they arrived in Los Angeles, Lu Jia would be able to bid farewell to this thrilling but dangerous adventure and return to that orderly and smooth life.
However, Lu Jia really couldn't understand what was going on with her complicated feelings at this moment.
Is this about the kiss? Or was it because of such a thrilling and exciting adventure? Or was it because of Phoenix, the mysterious and dangerous man himself?
Phoenix seemed to have easily shifted the crux of the problem, but Lu Jia couldn't tell what was wrong. In short, the matter shifted to their parting ways.
But…could they really make it all the way to Los Angeles as smoothly as before?
Lu Jia still felt that she had to think of a way to get some useful information from Phoenix so that she could be prepared in case she encountered something in the future.
But Phoenix was clearly not the type of man who would give information away easily.
"I'm going to take a shower first. You're not allowed to peek."
Lu Jia didn't want to talk to Phoenix anymore, because she always felt that she could be seen through by him at a glance. It was better not to act rashly.
After saying that, she did not care about Phoenix's reaction. After taking out a change of clothes from her backpack, she went straight to the bathroom.
Lu Jia had spent the night in the Colorado Canyon. At this moment, she felt dirty and smelly. Her eyelids and limbs were heavy, so she wanted to take a shower and rest quickly.
Although the toilet door was made of matte glass, Lu Jia always had to take a shower. Thinking that matte glass was much better than HD glass, when the time came, he would turn off the lights and see nothing.
Therefore, Lu Jia turned off the lights after she managed to remember the bathroom environment. Under the dim light from the room, she took a shower in the dark.
As she fumbled to turn on the tap, the intermittent sound of water could be heard. Lu Jia didn't feel safe at all. She washed her hands nervously while listening attentively.
However, in the darkness, her ears became sensitive to sound. Lu Jia vaguely heard murmuring sounds outside the bathroom. She didn't know what he was doing.
She suddenly felt that she was being unreasonable. Lu Jia had long understood the openness of the Western world through those films and television works. They were very direct and rude in this regard. Phoenix might not care about the things Lu Jia cared about at all.
Moreover, that scumbag man was still human-looking. It was impossible that he had never had a girlfriend before. There was a high probability that he was experienced and had many methods. Otherwise, how could he easily make her feel uncomfortable?
Phoenix probably had girlfriends or ex-girlfriends named Clara. After all, she needed material, so she gave her such a pseudonym.
However, this had nothing to do with Lu Jia.
After taking a shower, Lu Jia fumbled for her clothes and put them on. Only then did she turn on the light and take out the hairdryer to roughly dry her wet hair.
After washing her underwear, Lu Jia suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Thinking of this, she suddenly frowned in frustration.
Yes, there was no place to dry the underwear after changing, so she could only dry it in the toilet. Then, wouldn't Phoenix see it when she went in to wash up later?
Lu Jia turned back in embarrassment and took out the hairdryer again. She forced herself to dry her underwear before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
An hour later, Lu Jiasu walked out of the bathroom with a pale face that was slightly red from the heat. She hid the dried underwear behind her and whispered," I'm done washing."
After saying that, she quickly put away her underwear, lifted a corner of the blanket, and lay on the edge of the bed.
Phoenix nodded softly, but suddenly, he stretched his arms at the other end of the room. He slowly and casually took off his coat and shirt with his back to Lu Jia, revealing his lean and well-muscled inverted triangular outline. He casually threw his clothes to the corner as if taking off his clothes in front of her was extremely common.
Lu Jia's eyes widened in surprise for a moment. She was stunned for a while before she realized what she had just seen. She quickly turned around and faced him with her back.
…This was too exciting!
Lu Jia looked at the dark brown wardrobe and calmed down for a long time. After a while, the intermittent sound of water came from the bathroom. Lu Jia, who was originally sleepy and tired, did not know why she was not sleepy at all.
This damned man!
Why are you undressing in your room?!
Thinking of this, Lu Jia couldn't help but turn around and look at the bathroom door.
The bathroom lights clearly reflected Phoenix's superior and perfect body outline on the hazy matte glass. She thought of the kiss she had been forced to perform in front of everyone that evening, and only felt that what she saw was more impactful than what she had just seen.
Lu Jia couldn't help but pat her head, which was full of colored waste, and close her eyes tightly, ready to sleep.
"No, no, no.
No matter how good his figure was, Phoenix was still a man who had no morals and was full of lies!
……
Perhaps she was really too tired, but not long after Lu Jia closed her eyes, she fell into a half-sleep and half-awake state.
After an unknown amount of time, the intermittent sound of water suddenly disappeared. The faint sound of the door opening and footsteps came from behind, gradually approaching her.
Lu Jia suddenly woke up from her trance. She keenly noticed that the mattress behind her was heavily dented, and a hot and firm body lay gently on the other side of the bed.
... Damn it, I finally fell asleep!
She felt as if her breathing had gone wrong, but she was still in a state of feigned sleep.
Although they hugged each other when they slept in the sleeping bag, everyone was wearing hiking clothes. However, Lu Jia only wore a thin T-shirt and thin pants this time, especially since her sleeping posture was not good. In summer, every time she woke up, her clothes and pants would be rolled up high, exposing a large area of her skin.
But this time, she was staying in a hotel, and her body was covered with thick blankets. At least she wouldn't roll into his arms for no reason because of the cold, right?
At this moment, she felt Phoenix move behind her. Lu Jia, who was asleep, had sharp senses. She felt a gaze fall on her back, but after a short pause, that gaze quickly left her.
Not long after, the breathing sounds behind him gradually became longer.
Phoenix fell asleep so soon?
A few minutes later, after confirming this point, Lu Jia's originally worried heart immediately relaxed.
Lying on her side, she had spent the whole day fleeing on the Colorado River, crossing the valley, and even acting in front of everyone, so the sleepiness in her body finally defeated her sobriety, gradually losing consciousness and falling into colorful dreams.
At this moment, Phoenix looked up at the ceiling, which wasn't pure white. Her strong arms rested on her head. She couldn't help but sigh when she thought about how she had just turned around and seen Lu Jia curled up in a ball with her back facing her warily.
Today's kiss was an unexpected act, but he didn't know why, and Phoenix couldn't help but think of the warm wind from Hoover Dam blowing in his ears.
... almost lost control.
Phoenix let out a long sigh. It had been a tiring day. Even someone as strong as him couldn't help but feel a little tired.
Lu Jia, who was beside her, had long fallen asleep. Her breathing became long and slow. Clearly, everything that had happened today had exceeded her tolerance, both physically and mentally.
Go to sleep.
I don't know how many more days I can sleep like today.
Just as Phoenix was about to close his eyes, he heard a few faint, sobbing murmurs.
“Laolu……Laolu……”
- That name again, Phoenix had heard her shout the night before.
That night, Lu Jia started crying and muttering to herself again, but because her words were too vague, Phoenix really couldn't make out what she meant.
I guess I had a nightmare.
It seemed that that person was indeed very important to her.
"Lu…Lu?"
Thinking of this, Phoenix straightened up slightly and leaned against her. She frowned and pushed Lu Jia's shoulder.
Phoenix didn't want Lu Jia to drag her down purely because nightmares would affect her sleep.
However, Phoenix's gentle reminder didn't wake Lu Jia up. Instead, it attracted her attention.
Lu Jia, who was half-asleep, slowly turned over and pulled Phoenix, who was close to her, into her arms.
"Wuwuwu…"
Here we go again.
Phoenix took a deep breath and tried to push Lu Jia away expressionlessly because she was having nightmares.
However, Phoenix hesitated despite Lu Jia's whimpers. At this moment of hesitation, Lu Jia immediately climbed up weakly.
That night, Lu Jia didn't wear a mountaineering jacket, and Phoenix naturally didn't wear one either. The thin fabric couldn't block the touch of her skin at all.
Under the thick bedding in the hotel room, Lu Jia lay on Phoenix's chest. She was clearly asleep, but her eyes seemed to be lifted happily, as if she was extremely satisfied because she had found her treasure.
But it was hard for Phoenix.
Because the two of them fit together perfectly like a jigsaw puzzle, they sank into his upper abdomen and slowly breathed, eager to seek more protection. Phoenix took a deep breath and realized that even his usually strong self-control had to lose control because of this.
Finally, Phoenix gritted her teeth and pulled Lu Jia away from her. She decisively turned her back to face her. Lu Jia, who had clearly decided to stay away from her, still couldn't resist her passion, muttered as she reached out her hand and hugged Phoenix tightly from behind.
"Don't go…don't…"
At the same time, wild and rhythmic sounds and unbearable shouts came from the room next door where Sid and Sandy lived. They were especially clear in the quiet night through the thin wall.
Lu Jia, who had fallen into a sweet sleep, was completely unaware of the situation at this time. Only Phoenix, who was awake, was left to suffer.
Perhaps this was his retribution for implicating an innocent girl.
