When Pei Zhuo came back to his senses, he was already standing at the door of 418.
This number is only one step away from 419.
Exactly the same situation as he is now.
Knowing that Lu Lin had gone in, he stretched out his knuckles and knocked twice on the white oak door.
The other party did not respond, but came directly to open the door.
"Teacher Pei?" Lu Lin was stunned when he saw him, and stepped aside subconsciously: "You come in first?"
Teacher Zhuang who helped carry the luggage had already gone downstairs, and there were only two of them in front of the door in the middle of the night.
The atmosphere became very ambiguous.
Pei Zhuo didn't get a good rest all night, and he didn't go to the hot spring in front of Mr. Zhuang because of his privacy, but now he just feels confused and tired.
He walked into the big bed room that had been tidied up and saw two quilts and two pillows on the wide bed. The quilts were not only placed side by side like comrades-in-arms, but also were deliberately opened by the waiter to make them appear To cover up.
The broken vases and broken cups were all cleaned up, and the traces of the previous tension seemed to evaporate out of thin air, and the room returned to order and tranquility.
It's just that the two men are standing here at the same time, and everything seems to be implying something.
Lu Lin didn't expect this to happen, so he thought for a while and said, "I'm going to sleep on the sofa."
Pei Zhuo didn't answer him, put down his bag and walked forward again.
Because it is a resort in the suburbs, the room space is ample.
Not far away is the office area, the sofa is big enough for grown men to curl up and sleep overnight.
He hasn't decided yet whether to allow Lu Lin to sleep here alone.
Further forward, there is a bathing area with a bathtub and an open-air hot spring area.
The underground hot spring is led upstairs through pipes, exuding the smell of sulfur in the borderless pool.
Pei Zhuo rubbed his shoulders and neck, then turned to look at Lu Lin.
"Have you ever soaked in the hot spring, Mr. Lu?"
Lu Lin was obviously busy trying to persuade him to make peace before going to bed, so he hesitated for a moment, but nodded and said, "It's over."
He didn't know Pei Zhuo's attitude towards him, and worried that if the other party invited him to join him, the transparent pool water would reveal some undue restlessness.
"Is that so?" Pei Zhuo turned around to look for something to bathe in, and asked again: "Mr. Lu, do you mind if I soak for a while?"
"do not mind."
So Pei Zhuo went to wash himself, and then entered the hot spring pool in front of Lu Lin.
The view from the bedroom to the balcony is very good, and there are Japanese paper lanterns hanging above the pool water, allowing the warm yellow light to pour on Pei Zhuoyu's white butterfly bone, and the arc is clearly reflected.
In the distance, the undulating hills outside the manor can be seen, and night crows are singing lowly.
Lu Lin was so sleepy that he was about to go to bed, but now he could only sit on the sofa a little cautiously, and looked up at him after listening to the sound of water for a while.
Pei Zhuo turned his back to him, his back was lazy and relaxed.
His body stretched out, his bones were good-looking from the arms to the back of his hands, and his earlobes were powdered by the heat.
Obviously the clothes were all taken off, but the fragrance was evaporated by the pool water, and instead overflowed into the room, making the man unconsciously tighten his breath.
Lu Lin regained his composure, went to find a bottle of fruit wine in the freezer, and poured a glass for him and himself.
He gets thirsty after soaking for a long time, and he is willing to take the initiative to do something for him.
Pei Zhuo squinted his eyes and leaned against the pool to relax, and vaguely heard Lu Lin's footsteps.
He didn't look back, and asked lightly, "Mr. Lu, do you want to come over and have a drink together?"
The man paused for a few seconds before speaking: "Want to drink?"
Pei Zhuo looked at him sideways, supported the edge of the wall with one hand, and picked up the glass with the other: "Teacher Lu has a heart."
Lu Lin looked at him unconsciously.
Pei Zhuo has been doing yoga and strength training all year round, and his body is well managed.
The skin is fair and smooth, the depth of the collarbone is just right, and the waistline is winding all the way down like a mermaid.
Lu Lin took a look, then withdrew his eyes and sat sideways beside him, taking a sip of his wine with his back turned.
He likes him as a person, but that doesn't mean something should happen tonight.
If it happened, I would be sorry for this pure love.
Pei Zhuo thought the same way, so he took the wine without saying anything, just smiled and lowered his head to smell the faint green peach aroma on the rim of the cup.
The wine was ordinary wine, but it tasted good tonight.
The two of them didn't speak for a long time, Lu Lin finished the glass of wine bit by bit, and then opened his mouth while holding the empty glass.
"Is Teacher Pei single?"
"Um."
"No boyfriend?" Lu Lin asked.
Pei Zhuo was quiet for a long time, so long that Lu Lin felt that he had offended him by saying the wrong thing.
Little did he know that the other party breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, waiting for the joy of the prey to take the bait to fade away.
Don't expose, even a little bit.
Pei Zhuo thought of several answers, and thought out word by word in his heart before deleting them.
When he spoke again, his voice was still cool and calm.
"Well, no."
They looked at each other, one continued to soak in the hot spring, and the other started to talk about other topics, as if trying to dilute the abruptness caused by the previous question.
While chatting, they began to talk about the trivial matters in the class and what happened recently in the grade.
Teacher Lu has never been anyone's lover, so he is not very good at this role.
But when he switched back to the role of head teacher, the chat would become much smoother and more natural.
"Before the final exam, there will be an ability assessment on the teacher's side."
Pei Zhuo was still thinking about the temptation just now, and he looked up at him after a while: "Didn't you say that there is a grade meeting before the exam, and there are public classes to prepare for?"
He really didn't understand these things very well, and he felt a little headache when he heard them.
Originally, he was busy enough before and after the final exam, and his superiors took over these tasks temporarily, which meant that all the teachers had to work overtime.
"There are four or five things colliding with each other. This holiday is a chance to take a rest before the storm. After that, I will be busy for a while." Lu Lin naturally took the empty wine glass in his hand, got up and helped him get a dry towel : "I'll write you a timetable, and it will be easier for you to deal with it later."
Pei Zhuo was a little drowsy, so he hummed.
After a while, the ice wine and the paper were put on the tray and pushed over.
Lu Lin drew a table, listing all the events from January 10th to January 25th in order, and wrote it clearly.
Pei Zhuo looked up at the light falling from the paper lantern, dried his hands and read the content on the note.
On January 10, the teacher's ability survey and test.
On January 12, the homework test papers of the sophomore students were randomly checked.
On January 17th, oral English test.
…
He looked over one by one, and finally saw a line of blacked-out words at the end.
Obviously the writing is very beautiful, but he drew three or four horizontal lines, as if he didn't want him to see it, but also seemed to want him to see it.
"Ms. Pei, can I chase you?" 』
Holding the note, Pei Zhuo turned around again, lying on the edge of the pool to look at him.
The man stood beside him, still holding the dry towel in his palm.
Pei Zhuo soaked for too long, water dripped from his hair and neck.
He sat up a little, reached out to take the towel in Lu Lin's hand, and began to wipe his hair on his own.
After waiting for a while, Lu Lin asked again, "Mr. Pei doesn't need this note anymore?"
"Well, no need." Pei Zhuo turned his head sideways and wiped the water drops on his back ears, and said slowly, "I remember it all, thank you Teacher Lu."
He paused, and continued: "I didn't see clearly what was crossed out in the last line."
It means not seeing clearly, not not seeing.
Lu Lin brought him the bath towel that wrapped his body, and looked at him again at the moment of presenting it. Their eyes met and touched again, as if with a scorching temperature.
"Teacher Pei," the man said in a hoarse voice, "can I chase you?"
Pei Zhuo got up, wrapped himself in a bath towel and stepped out of the hot spring pool, he went down the steps with his right hand.
The palms of the two overlapped for a while, polite but wet.
Just like this room, it's just as underwhelming.
With his back turned to him, Pei Zhuo put on his bathrobe, went to the bathroom to comb his hair, as if he had evil intentions, deliberately dragging him to wait.
Lu Lin stood beside him, and casually helped him put the comb back in place.
In the past six minutes, the two of them had no more conversations, and the distance was like a friend, but also like a close lover.
After Pei Zhuo wiped his hand cream, he turned to look at him.
The other party stared into his eyes, keeping all his emotions in his heart.
He didn't dare to ask again, still thinking about what he should say after being agreed or rejected.
Pei Zhuo blinked, looked at Lu Lin and laughed.
"Ms. Lu thinks it's safe, so it's fine."
