Thirty-One Degrees Part 2

–

Shi Yun didn’t make any sort of check-in, as there was no point to it.

What was there to do in a hotel room?

Watch TV and eat takeout.

She didn’t get up from the hotel bed and ordered the hotel’s food delivery service.

The food in the hotel was not inferior to the restaurants outside. The sun had been shining in Xunchuan these days, but as soon as the air conditioner was turned off, the whole room became very cold. But after using the air conditioner all day long, she felt dry.

Only half the bottle of mineral water on the bedside table was left.

Her hands were slightly sweaty, but her palms were still cold.

Finally, he found the phone under her pillow. After yawning twice, she glanced at the screen of her phone, which only contained notification messages from the software. Turning off the phone and throwing it aside, Wei Congying picked up her phone and put it on the bedside table, in the case she might want to play with it later but wouldn’t be able to find it.

The sound of the hair dryer was a bit noisy. Although Shi Yun felt sleepy, she didn’t fell asleep again.

After washing away the smell of tobacco and alcohol from his body, Wei Congying rubbed his hair, which was almost dry.

The light in the bathroom was not turned off, as Shi Yun would wake up in the middle of the night.

“Still not sleeping yet?” Wei Congying lifted the quilt and lay down behind her.

The quilt was warmer than he expected, but Shi Yun was still warmer than him. He stretched an arm under Shi Yun’s waist, then hugged her from behind, burying the tip of his nose in her hair.

It smelled like the hotel shampoo, woody.

A slightly cold body pressed against hers: “I didn’t expect you to be a hot-blooded girl.”

Shi Yun stretched out her warm feet. Although she was tired of playing with her phone, she still wanted to take a look. She asked him to hand it to her: “You took a long bath. What women’s scent did you get on yourself, did you scrub off a layer of skin yet?”

Wei Congying hugged her tighter: “A group of old men, stinking of tobacco, alcohol and sweat.”

The one in his arms snorted and muttered: “Who knows.”

Boys don’t like to be doubted by girls, because girls’ intuition was correct most of the time. At this moment, she was being magnamanious. Listening to Shi Yun’s doubtful tone, he kissed the back of her neck.

“Why don’t you check-in you have some suspicions?” Wei Congying pinched her waist. Seeing that she was still scrolling through her phone, Wei Congying took advantage of  his longer arms and took her phone and put it on the bedside table.

Shi Yun didn’t resist, and let him take away her phone and then blinked at the frosted glass of the bathroom: “I want you to be honest.”

——Honest about what you came to Xunchuan for. How was tonight’s dinner party?

“I…” Wei Congying lost his voice midway through his words.

He knew what would happen with his next words.

But Wei Congying also knew that if he kept holding off on telling Shi Yun, she would still be angry when she found out later.

It was the first time that he wasn’t straightforward with being forthcoming like when he broke up with his ex-girlfriends.

He knew it was probably because of liking Shi Yun.

But in the end, he confessed: “Shi Yun, let me tell you something.”

The person in his arms had his back turned to him and her expression couldn’t be seen: “Well, tell me.”

Wei Congying should confess: “I’m here to compete.”

After saying that, Wei Congying could feel the person in his arms stiffen, as if even her breath had disappeared in an instant.

The silence seemed unbearable in this moment. An expression without emotion was like a blank test paper, and coaxing someone was like answering a question. You must first know what the question is before you can write the answer.

First, he needed to know Shi Yun’s emotional reaction, so that Wei Congying could know how to coax her.

ln the long silence, she slowly said: “Can you not go?”

“Cannot.”

He refused very simply and decisively.

He was an ‘egoist’, he could do many things for the people he liked, but he would not change himself for the people he liked.

This was one reason why the group of ‘Scheherazades’ left the scene one after another.

Because once they started fantasizing about being with Wei Congying, they would hope that Wei Congying would stop living a life of reckless abandon, be responsible, and become reliable.

And this was Wei Songying’s bottom line.

It was too tiring to change himself. His thoughts were that they could get along as long as they were able to get along. If it wasn’t meant to be, they would part ways. He only had one life to live, and he wanted to do as he pleased during his life. Of course, he also did not ask his girlfriend to change anything. She also only had one life and do as she pleased.

After the word ‘cannot’ were spoken, the room returned to silence.

There was no light in the room, only the light in the bathroom was on. Wei Congying didn’t know what expression she had. Maybe it was because he liked Shi Yun more than his previous girlfriends. When he wanted to say that racing was fine, the person in his arms shifted around and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Her mood was clear in the dim night.

In his ear, like a child who didn’t get to ride the kiddie ride, she was a little disappointed: “Okay then.”

It was obviously a heavy topic, but she just brushed it off.

The next morning, Wei Congying was called away by Zhang Guangwei, and he had to familiarize himself with the racetrack and the car. Wei Congying took Shi Yun with him.

Shi Yun didn’t want to go at first. When she stayed in bed and refused to get up, her first excuse was that she was afraid of the cold.

As a result, the first excuse was rejected by Wei Congying.

He was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and holding another in his hand. He managed to get a car from somewhere and drove out of the hotel without going straight to the racing track.

Instead, he took Shi Yun to a store.

She stood there and watched Wei Congying grab a fluffy pair of earmuffs and a pair of gloves.

The earmuffs and gloves were of the same color. And finally, he tied his scarf around her neck and wrapped a cotton-padded jacket around Shi Yun’s coat.

Shi Yun was like a clothes rack that wouldn’t move. After Wei Congying put everything on her body, he held her face and said, “You can’t freeze anymore.”
