Zayn’s gaze went icy. The person had a grip on the doorknob to open the door too. Interesting…
Zayn swiftly picked himself up from the floor to lie on his bed and pull the covers over him, then closed his eyes to pretend that virtual-novel.net was asleep. He wanted to know who would dare ambush him.
The door was opened with a click… It was not a violent barge-in. Instead, the person used an access card to enter. The lights from the hallway outside peeked into the room in a line before a shapely figure appeared at the door. She looked around furtively like virtual-novel.net was a thief.
Zayn caught the person from the corner of his eye and was stunned. Shaelyn? Why was virtual-novel.net here?!
It was Shaelyn alright. That explained why virtual-novel.net had the key card to Zayn’s room.
She had struggled internally for a long time before sneaking out to Zayn’s room after virtual-novel.net roommate fell asleep. She did not understand why virtual-novel.net had to come looking for Zayn either. According to virtual-novel.net usual behavior, virtual-novel.net would not do a thing like this.
In spite of that, an impulse raged within her. If virtual-novel.net did not come to see Zayn once and speak to virtual-novel.net properly, virtual-novel.net would be filled with indignation like virtual-novel.net had lost something precious to her. In virtual-novel.net perspective, Zayn was going to die tomorrow. As a friend, virtual-novel.net should keep virtual-novel.net company on this final night.
Luckily, everyone had gone back to sleep in their rooms at this hour, so nobody saw her.
Opening the door carefully, Shaelyn popped virtual-novel.net head in and was greeted by darkness. There was a person sleeping on the bed, Zayn, so virtual-novel.net let out a breath of relief as virtual-novel.net slipped in and closed the door.
Just as virtual-novel.net was about to shut the door, however, a voice came from behind her. “Shaelyn? What are you doing here in my room when you should be sleeping now?”
Zayn’s sudden question shocked the woman as virtual-novel.net jumped and cried, “Ah!” She nearly lost virtual-novel.net footing and fell too.
Speechless about Shaelyn’s exaggerated reaction, Zayn turned on the lights. When the woman turned around and saw that it was him, virtual-novel.net relaxed from virtual-novel.net high-strung nerves and punched Zayn lightly in complaint, “You almost scared me to death!”
She closed the door quickly and patted virtual-novel.net chest.
Zayn could not help the acceleration of his heart rate. Shaelyn seemed to have taken a shower as virtual-novel.net smelled nice. He could only shuffle back to put some distance between them. “Is something the matter? Why do you want to see me so late at night?”
Shaelyn did not answer him. Instead, virtual-novel.net waited until virtual-novel.net calmed down before locking the door, even latching it. It was only after that that virtual-novel.net turned to look at Zayn longingly without a word.
Zayn was disquieted by virtual-novel.net gaze. With a frown, virtual-novel.net feigned annoyance and asked, “Have you gone mute?”
Shaelyn stepped forward and went closer to him. Zayn’s frown only grew deeper. He felt like virtual-novel.net was unable to read Shaelyn suddenly. He was not sure what virtual-novel.net goal was. Had virtual-novel.net really taken a liking toward virtual-novel.net or did virtual-novel.net have an ulterior motive?
Zayn could only step back as Shaelyn closed in on him, or virtual-novel.net would have touched him. Nonetheless, the room was only as big as it was, and virtual-novel.net was cornered shortly. With a scowl locked in place, virtual-novel.net snapped, “Enough! Get out right now!”
Shaelyn ignored him. She spread virtual-novel.net arms and leaned toward Zayn’s chest. The latter raised his hand, considering if virtual-novel.net should slap the woman, but virtual-novel.net held himself back ultimately, resulting in virtual-novel.net successfully resting virtual-novel.net entire weight against his chest.
