The Top-Tier School Hunk Has Been Targeted by the Cold CEO - Chapter 16

Seeing that Yan Xun was about to pull at his waistband, Bai Yang quickly pressed down on his hand.

Yan Xun was puzzled. “What is it, Brother?”

Bai Yang let out a sigh and pointed to his watch. “Not now. I have a meeting downstairs in a little while.”

Only then did Yan Xun learn that after he had fallen asleep in the car last night, Bai Yang saw how late it was and, considering he had a meeting at this very hotel this morning, decided to stay here directly.

As for why they only booked one room? To save money, of course!

Yan Xun did not doubt this reason for a second. Who in their right mind would think they had too much money? In Yan Xun’s eyes, Bai Yang was perfectly normal.

Yan Xun looked out the window and suddenly slapped his forehead. “I am so stupid! In broad daylight, how could I pull you to do this kind of thing?”

“Brother, do not worry. For your great kindness, I will go through fire and water for you.”

Bai Yang glanced at him, seemingly unwilling to listen any further. He stood up, took his suit jacket, and headed for the door. As he left, he spoke warmly, “Today is Saturday. If you are not in a hurry to get back to school, there are spa and gaming facilities downstairs. The costs are included in the room rate. I do not have time to go, so if you do not want to let it go to waste, you can go and play for a bit.”

“By the way, after the meeting ends at noon, the organizers are holding a banquet. You can come with me to eat then.”

Free games and a free feast? Yan Xun naturally could not refuse! Bai Yang was not at all surprised by his choice and left with a smile.

The facilities of a five-star hotel were truly something else. Yan Xun started filming with his phone the moment he stepped out of the room. Do not blame him for being small-minded; he was at an age where he loved sharing his life. Whenever he encountered something new, he wanted to record it to share with those idiots back at the dorm.

He walked and filmed, going from the hallway to the garden, and then from the garden to the swimming pool. Since it was morning, a trace of last night’s chill remained in the air, so there was no one around the pool.

Tired from walking, Yan Xun sat down on a lounge chair by the pool to look at the videos he had just taken. As he fiddled with his phone, he suddenly heard a splash.

He froze and looked toward the sound. He immediately saw someone struggling in the deep end of the water. The person’s head was bobbing up and down, and their hands were flailing on the surface. They looked as if they were drowning.

A life was at stake. Yan Xun did not hesitate at all. He placed his phone on the chair, rushed over in a few steps, and dived into the water. He swam desperately toward the drowning person. Once he reached them, he followed the textbook maneuvers for water rescue and grabbed the person from behind.

“Buddy, do not panic! I will definitely get you up!”

Buddy? Save him?

Before Meng Zi could react, a warm body pressed against his back. Then, a pair of arms slid under his armpits and pulled him into a hug.

Meng Zi: “…”

He was just taking an early morning swim, and he was being treated as if he were drowning? Meng Zi found it a bit funny and a bit speechless. He turned his head, wanting to explain, but suddenly met a pair of pure and clear eyes.

The morning light fell into those eyes, making them look like a deep pool touched by a golden warmth. They possessed a mesmerizing brilliance. Stunned for a moment, by the time Meng Zi regained his senses, he had already been dragged onto the shore by Yan Xun.

Yan Xun raised his hand and patted Meng Zi’s face. “Buddy? Buddy, how are you?”

Meng Zi looked up at Yan Xun and realized for the first time that the boy in front of him was exceptionally handsome. With a high nose, thin lips, thick brows, and large eyes, his fair skin was exactly Meng Zi’s type.

Meng Zi said nothing.

Yan Xun frowned and reached out to check under Meng Zi’s nose, muttering to himself, “Still breathing. I probably do not need to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.”

Hearing this, a sharp light flashed in Meng Zi’s eyes. He said with a half-smile, “You could also act as if I am not breathing.”

“You can talk? Then you are fine.”

Carefree as always, Yan Xun did not think twice about the meaning behind Meng Zi’s words. He sat on the ground, wringing the water out of his clothes. “Buddy, how did you fall into the water? It was so dangerous just now. If I had not been nearby, who would have come to save you?”

Meng Zi hesitated for a moment and did not explain. He simply sat up and said, “Yes, my foot slipped accidentally.”

As he spoke, he stared at Yan Xun without blinking. Yan Xun was soaked through, and his wet clothes clung to his skin, making the lines of his muscles faintly visible. Having a background as a student-athlete, his physique was beautiful. Meng Zi was dazed again while looking at him.

Yan Xun continued to nag him about the urgency of the situation, but Meng Zi was not listening at all. He only stared at Yan Xun’s mouth as it opened and closed. Those moist lips looked like tempting grapes.

Meng Zi swallowed hard, his throat feeling dry. When Yan Xun looked up, he guiltily moved his gaze away.

Yan Xun wrung out most of the moisture, stood up, and picked up his phone. “Buddy, be careful next time. I am going back to change my clothes.”

Meng Zi instinctively raised his hand to stop him. “Wait.”

Yan Xun was startled and looked back in confusion. “What is it?”

Meng Zi cleared his throat and quickly found an excuse to keep him there. “Uh, I have not thanked you yet.”

Yan Xun laughed. “It is not a big deal. Why bother with thanks? I did not lose any skin over it.” He patted Meng Zi on the shoulder and walked away, dripping water as he went.

Meng Zi watched Yan Xun’s receding figure, a hint of longing appearing in his expression.

Yan Xun returned to the room, changed into a bathrobe, and threw his clothes into the hamper. He had not brought any change of clothes, and he could not exactly go out to play in a bathrobe, so his plan to enjoy the hotel facilities was ruined. He could only play games on his phone all morning.

Near lunchtime, Bai Yang called. After Yan Xun finished explaining the incident at the pool, he let out a sigh. “Brother, it is not that I do not want to gatecrash the free feast, but I really have nothing to wear. I cannot exactly step out in a bathrobe and embarrass you.”

Bai Yang did not care about the clothes. He asked worriedly, “Are you injured?”

Yan Xun: “No, I saved him in time. That person was perfectly fine.”

Bai Yang sighed helplessly. “I am asking if you are injured.”

Yan Xun laughed heartlessly. “With my physical condition, how could I get injured? I am just a bit hungry. Brother, are you coming back at noon? If you are, bring me plenty of food.”

Bai Yang spoke two words softly, “Wait there.”

Yan Xun thought he would be waiting for a long time, but Bai Yang returned just after he finished two rounds of games. However, Bai Yang did not bring back food, but a set of clothes.

“Change your clothes. We are going to the banquet hall to eat. There is a lot of variety there; you will definitely be able to eat your fill.”

Yan Xun immediately punched Bai Yang in the chest. “Brother! You really understand me!”

He joked as he untied the belt of his bathrobe to change. Bai Yang had just sat down on the sofa and was taking a sip of water when he saw the bathrobe fly past him. Then, a completely naked body was shoved right in front of him.

He could not help himself and sprayed a mouthful of water out.
