Chapter 39
Looking up at the two figures disappearing on the third floor, Lu Jia, who had been hiding nearby, could only start going back up after making sure it was safe. She climbed up until she reached the third floor.
Leaning against the wall, she waited until she saw Gu Xici and the other girl enter a dorm room on the third-floor hallway. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she climbed the stairs and quickly returned to the fourth floor.
Walking along the fourth-floor hallway towards Room 417, Lu Jia couldn't help but recall the conversation between Gu Xici and the other girl. Her footsteps gradually slowed down. She never expected to stumble upon that conversation.
Through the previous meeting, she had learned about Gu Xici's situation, which wasn't optimistic. Or rather, even before this meeting, the situation here had started to divide into factions.
Especially after the Qiao Tang incident, Gu Xici's actions gained the support of most girls. These people gradually became Gu Xici's supporters. They supported all of Gu Xici's decisions. However, there were a few girls who thought Gu Xici was exaggerating and making the conflict between boys and girls worse.
The small group of girls who thought this were basically on the same side as the boys, belonging to the Jiang Bei group. They firmly believed that if Gu Xici continued to misbehave, they would eventually be abandoned because of her. So they became the opposition to Gu Xici. There were actually quite a few of these people, and they even tried to persuade other girls to join them. Lu Jia had been talked to about joining them, but she didn't want to get involved in any of these things. She just wanted to live her life as peacefully as possible.
Therefore, in the entire 8th Building, Lu Jia existed as the only known neutral party. Although this title was given by those who advised her to appreciate what she had, it did suit her choices. After all, she really didn't want to align herself with either side.
In her opinion, compared to these so-called factions, there were more important things to deal with in the 8th Building.
Recently, there were signs of food shortage here, and the electricity was also out. The whole 8th Building was immersed in a gloomy atmosphere, with hungry zombies lurking around. In such an atmosphere, pointless power struggles were just nonsensical in her eyes.
At first, she thought Gu Xici's behavior was somewhat tolerating and approving of these things. But listening to her and that girl's conversation today, she felt that Gu Xici didn't seem to want things to escalate to this point.
Of course, this conversation alone was not enough to change her opinion of Gu Xici. In her view, Gu Xici had sufficient leadership and decision-making abilities, so she was not just some unnoticed person in power. Gu Xici simply weighed the pros and cons more carefully than others, and therefore made more suitable judgments.
But what could be done about it?
The number and strength of boys and girls were clearly uneven, and the girls themselves were not completely united. So in reality, the Jiang Bei group completely suppressed Gu Xici's side.
The people who should have been united didn't choose to unite. From that moment on, it seemed like the ending was already determined. But Lu Jia was curious about what Gu Xici would do afterwards.
Lost in thought about this matter, Lu Jia completely walked past room 417 and went all the way to room 418, where she bumped into the gaze of a girl sitting across from the staircase.
After a brief exchange of glances, she silently retreated to the entrance of her own room under the other person's slightly puzzled gaze.
Facing the other person's gaze and the slightly awkward atmosphere, she quietly searched for her key.
But at that moment, in the originally stuffy air, the smell of coffee wafted over. Lu Jia sniffed and couldn't help but feel strange. Her room was surrounded by empty dormitories, so there shouldn't be anyone brewing coffee inside.
But the aroma in her nose was so strong, as if someone was standing right beside her, holding a cup of coffee.
With a hint of doubt, she inserted the key into the keyhole. As she turned the key, she subconsciously glanced towards the person at the staircase. However, the person was no longer looking at her; instead, they were holding a thermos cup and seemed to be drinking something.
The aroma of coffee still filled her nose, causing Lu Jia to suddenly realize something as she looked at the person, her eyes filled with astonishment.
Could this person be drinking coffee? She thought to herself and unconsciously swallowed a gulp of saliva.
How is it possible that such a long distance? She was scared at first, but she quickly reassured herself because it felt impossible. She doesn't have superpowers, so how can her sense of smell be so sensitive?
Thinking this way, she instinctively turned the door of the dormitory.
As soon as she opened the door, she indirectly caught a glimpse of a silhouette rushing out from the bedroom, directly crashing into Lu Jia, making her body uncontrollably fall several steps backwards and out of the door. She couldn't even notice the smell of coffee anymore.
At this moment, the person sitting far away at the staircase quietly set aside her coffee and picked up the book on her lap and fanned herself. Despite enduring the heat, she could see from a distance the girl who just entered the dormitory carrying another girl in a black short-sleeved shirt and then backing out.
The girl in the black short-sleeved shirt had her legs wrapped around the waist of the other girl, slightly bent, giving a koala-like feeling.
Her hand was wrapped around the girl's neck. The radiant sunlight mercilessly shone on her fair and slender arm, yet there was a hint of coldness.
Under the shining light, the beautiful profile of her face made the person sitting unable to resist lifting her own hips and tilting her head to try to see her entire face.
And then... she widened her eyes and showed a look of astonishment, clearly stimulated by something.
She even subconsciously rubbed her eyes with her fingers because she was not sure.
Did she make a mistake? Although it was just a light touch, but it didn't reach her lips. Just as she was thinking like this, the girl being held, facing the person holding her, made a move, only this time she kissed her face.
The girl at the stairs couldn't hide her astonishment in her eyes, and as she looked down the stairs next to her, two people were coming up the stairs towards her.
Because she was too surprised, the book in her hand slowly fell to the ground, making a soft sound, also alerting Lu Jia, who was being hugged at the moment.
Without having time to think about what others might be thinking, in any case, the first thing she did was to hold the person in this position and bring her back to the dormitory, only hearing a "bang" sound, room 417's door was closed like this.
Oh no, surely something was seen. Thinking of the person sitting at the stairs, Lu Jia's heart couldn't help but panic. There was a factor of shyness, but more of it was worry.
But being held by someone doesn't mean they understand her thoughts. For Su Mo, Lu Jia hasn't been with her for too long. If she hadn't always remembered that going out would make Lu Jia angry, she would definitely not have been able to stay still. There might even be some complaints in her heart towards the person who came back so late.
This caused Lu Jia to ask her to come down but she refused to come down, even repeating her previous behavior.
Looking at the person lightly touching her nose, Lu Jia didn't pay much attention at first, just looked up at Su Mo and said, "Good girl, come down~" with an indulgent tone.
But hearing her words, Su Mo changed her direction and lightly touched her lips, like a dragonfly landing on water, it was a kiss.
Su Mo's lips were slightly crushed and hadn't had time to recover when she kissed again. She seemed to enjoy these short kisses without getting tired.
Looking up at the face that was less than a finger's width from her nose, Su Mo looked at her so seriously that her lips curled slightly upwards.
Su Mo's laughter always gave her a feeling of pure clarity, like being suddenly taken from a hot furnace to a quiet valley. There were the sounds of flowing water and gentle breezes that successfully swept away Lu Jia's irritation from lying outside for a while.
Those eyes, which seemed somewhat scary, turned out to be the most innocent presence in this moment.
It was somewhat ironic, but also somewhat comforting, that at least the person she cared about still cared about her.
Feeling someone's lips coming towards her again, Lu Jia sometimes wondered if she had adopted a clingy pet, who had now successfully transformed into a human form.
She had come to repay a favor, expressing intimacy and fondness in the most direct way possible. But it made Lu Jia blush and feel excited, both physically and emotionally, even to the point of discomfort, making her always want to do something.
Su Mo's recklessness towards her seemed to have caused her some suffering, but she couldn't suppress the pleasure that came with it.
And every time she realized this, her body always took the lead, learning to fight back.
When she pressed Su Mo's back against the door and gently bit her lip, the person she was holding became so well-behaved that they wouldn't voluntarily leave anymore.
After a period of getting used to each other through various events, they had already developed an unspoken understanding and initiative about certain things.
Lu Jia's face, slightly feverish, emitted an extremely hot breath. But with Su Mo's hand on Lu Jia's neck, a steady flow of coolness was delivered from the neck.
Under this alternating hot and cold sensation, her body gradually relaxed and softened.
In their habitual entanglement, Lu Jia seemed to always take the lead, while Su Mo appeared to accept its arrangement, until she lost in terms of physical endurance and the initiative returned to Su Mo's lips.
At this moment, she didn't need to do anything else. She closed her eyes, allowing herself to be immersed in darkness, yet the touch became even more vivid because she held onto the person in front of her.
As she completely collapsed, she didn't know when the legs that were wrapped around her waist had already fallen to the ground, becoming a strong support for her body.
The overly intense kiss exposed Lu Jia's human characteristics once again. Her lung capacity couldn't compare to Su Mo's, causing her to surrender again.
Her body practically became a puddle sticking to Su Mo's, following her faint breaths.
Looking at her face turning red like blood, Su Mo felt very happy. She felt something, but could not express it in words. Finally, it turned into subsequent actions, and all the following movements were completely unconscious.
Her tongue gently slid over Lu Jia's lips, making a brief stop on the lips. Then the action turned into a light kiss, and even became a deep kiss. But at the most important moment, she promptly pulled away from the place that needed it the most. Then, she slid down Lu Jia's face.
The smooth and delicate neck became the next destination.
Lu Jia could not resist, and in her weakness, she seemed more like a pet being fed. She accepted and endured both the pleasure and torment of intimate contact.
Until she succumbed and let out a whisper.
At the door of room 417, two people walked past the dormitory at the fastest pace, then turned around silently and went down the stairs.
