Playing Mahjong

"Zhou Jian, how did you wake up?" a man asked him. "Put it away, you scared the little girl enough," he added.

"Did it scare you?" he raised his eyebrow and leaned back, relaxing.

One hand holding a cigarette and the other hand naturally placed on the chair behind me, as if embracing me.

This posture is very similar to holding me.

"So small in courage, you dare to come to 208?" he asked with a smile.

When he smiled, he was full of dangerous signals.

I quickly stood up.

"I came to return your clothes."

"Returning clothes? Take the opportunity to hit on our brother Juan?" One man teased and everyone laughed.

I awkwardly waved my hand: "No."

"Don't be shy, there are plenty of people who have used this trick, but you are the only one who has not been kicked out," they laughed again.

I...

I turned my head and looked at Zhou Juan: "I have to go now."

"No, if you go, the mahjong game won't be finished," another man said.

"He's awake now, you guys keep playing," I gestured towards Zhou Juan with my eyes.

"... " Zhou Juan was still smoking, silent and watching the show.

Seeing my embarrassment, he glanced at me, lightly said, "You play."

"Why?" I didn't understand.

"Because..." He took a drag from his cigarette, lightly said, "I don't want."

I...

"Miss, you're beautiful and kind-hearted, can you stand in for a while more? That person will be back soon."

"Yeah, you've lost so much already, win some back, let Zhou Juan guide you."

...

"I really have to go... I won't be able to return to the dormitory later." I gestured with my hands and was about to leave.

"The door is already closed," Zhou Juan calmly said behind me, giving me an unclear look.

I paused for a second and quickly checked my phone for the time.

23:00!!!

Crap, I was so focused on playing cards that I forgot to keep track of the time.

"Play another round, Juan will open a room for you next door, relax..." They tried to comfort me.

I looked up at Zhou Juan, who was leisurely sitting there, listening to everyone talk without speaking.

He was like a wolf waiting to strike.

I hesitated for a few seconds, it seemed like there was no other option, so I sat down, ready to finish this round, and open a room on my own.

As soon as I turned around, Zhou Juan was still staring at me.

!!

I even suspected that his gaze never moved away from me, it was very straightforward.

"Can you... stop looking at me?" I asked quietly while everyone was picking cards.

"Hmm?" He stared at me, as if waiting for me to say something next.

But his gaze made me feel uncomfortable.

"When you look at me like that, I feel like you're about to eat me." I whispered, trying not to let others hear.

"..." He couldn't help but smile for a moment, his serious expression quickly returned, and he whispered, "Well, can I?"

Me?

He said it so naturally, my mind exploded.

Was that what I understood?

I was so scared that I turned back and didn't dare talk to him anymore.
