Union Of Enemies-Chapter 26

Translated by CatMeme6 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨ｍ

"You are a jinx!" After just being pulled out of the water, she shook her hair sending water droplets flying everywhere as she spat out angrily at the person who was hugging her.

Yes! It's not wrong, he is really a Jinx! Absolutely a Broom Star!!!

"Don't bother! I can come up by myself!"

Just now he was holding her up in the water and when she struggled to come up by herself, the result was that she had drunk two mouthfuls of muddy river water.

"Don't make any more noise." Zhen Lang frowned as he dripped with water. "Get into the car."

"I'm not getting into your rotten car!" Jia Shao shouted.

Unable to control herself, she uttered those words in her anger but unfortunately, if she knew that she will be paying a bitter price for her angry words the next day, she would have happily swallowed back her words.

The onlookers crowded around and various voices drifted into the ear......

"Ai.......at such a young age.......taking matters too seriously. Life is more important."

"That's right, that's right. Life is more important. Don't treat life as a joke."

"The young man looks so delicate. The journey in life is still a long road....."

A large group of people gathered around, seemingly offering their persuasion with good intentions but they were in actual fact blocking the two people's passage. Jia Shao wanted to get into the van but because the ring of people that had gathered around had grown to three-circles thick, she was unable to get to the van.

The wind blew from the river towards the riverbank and it made her shivered with cold.

Zhen Lang took off his wet coat and draped it over her body as Jia Shao tried to squeeze her way out of the crowd. "Please give way, give way........"

"Don't think of death."

"Take care of yourself."

"To be alive is better than anything else. Don't take things to heart......."

Kind and considerate words kept coming but no one made any move to open up a path through the crowd as Jia Shao searched around with difficulty.

With an arm around Jia Shao, Zhen Lang pulled her into his embrace. He swept his eyes over the crowd and coldly shouted. "Give way!"

*Huala......* The crowd immediately dispersed and Jia Shao quickly flew over to the van.

Dripping with water droplets, she pushed away Zhen Lang's hands and climbed into the van. Raising her guard, she looked at him. "Jinx! Stay away from me!"

Zhen Lang did not make it embarrassing for her, stretched out his hand to open his car door and sat in. Both vehicles started to move at the same time, making their way towards the hotel.

Jia Shao pulled out a piece of cloth to wrap around her body. Just as she let out a breath, the van violently jerked and she almost fell off from her seat.

Cranky noises continued to come out from the van and after several attempts by the driver to restart the van, he looked helplessly at Jia Shao. "It looks like the van had broken down. Do you want to wait for me to repair this or do you want to take another car?"

Jia Shao was burning with anger. In front of her, a car came to a stop beside the van and the car window slid down. The man in the car gave her a handsome, happy smile and waved at her.

It was really uncomfortable in wet clothes. Although the weather was not considered cold in May, her clothes and shoes were full of water and they were sticking to her body making it very uncomfortable for her.

The driver started to speak beside her. "Miss Jia, it seems there is something wrong with the engine. I will have to call for a tow-truck. It's better for you to quickly go back to the hotel to change your clothes. Don't get sick because there is still another photoshoot tomorrow."

Unwillingly she climbed out of the van and opened the front passenger door to get in. The moment she sat down, immediately a wet patch appeared on the seat.

Zhen Lang pressed down on the accelerator and quickly drove towards the hotel. Jia Shao twisted her clothes, rubbed her shoes and found that both were still dripping with water making a mess in his car. Grudgingly, it dissolved some of her hatred in her heart.

When they reached the hotel, she walked into the hotel lobby and with every step, water dripped from her. Under numerous people's gaze, she flicked her hair and leaned on the counter. "501, my room card please."

She tried her best to put on her most presentable posture with a carefree expression on her face. With poise, she pressed the elevator button and under everyone's gaze, she walked confidently into the elevator alone.

In her heart, she had already given someone countless cuts and slashes.

She already knew that she cannot let him come too close to her and cannot have too much interaction with him. As long as he is near, anything strange can happen!

The card in her hand was waved at the door but there was not even the slightest reaction. She waved again but there was still no reaction at all......

With a strange feeling, Jia Shao held up the room card in her hand and then let out a helpless sigh. "This cannot be......"

The room card in her hand clearly stated 510 and not 501!!!!

Dragging her heavy footsteps and trying to stave off the cold feeling enveloping her, the drenched Jia Shao went back to the hotel lobby and waited for the receptionist to change the room card in a flurry. Coincidentally, she ran into Zhen Lang who was walking in after parking his car.

As a result, the two people who were dripping with water suffered the 'concerned' gazes of countless people as they entered the elevator and went up to the same floor together.

"Why are you following me?" Jia Shao was full of anger and she glared at the person standing beside her. "I can let you use my bathroom to take a bath but I want to go in first."

Zhen Lang did not reply and waved a room card in his hand. Then he opened the door to Room No. 503 and then closed the door in front of her.

A soul that had not dispersed!

A clingy ghost!

He......he......he is actually on the same floor as her and in the room right next to her? free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐oｍ

After the door had closed, Jia Shao looked at the door for a long, long time before she opened her own door like someone who was sleep-walking and entered her room.

She switched on the air-conditioner heater then picked up two pieces of clothing before rushing into the bathroom and turned on the faucet.

She waited, waited and waited........

She twisted, twisted and twisted.......

Finally, it had reached Miss Jia's psychological limit and a roar echoed in the corridor. "Fu Wu Yuan*! Your faucet is faulty! Only cold water!!! "

(Fu Wu Yuan means a person who gives service like a waiter, an attendant or a salesperson. I have used the Chinese pinyin instead of translating the words because I cannot find the appropriate word to fit in here. I feel it is illogical for her to call for assistance in the corridor instead of calling up the reception but if she is staying in a small hotel, it is still possible to call for service.)

Her roar did not attract anyone but only attracted someone else.......her Jinx!

His hand pulled her arm and someone frowned. "Why are you still in your wet clothes?"

His body exuded a scent after bathing and her body still had the raw smell of the river.

His body was clean and her body was still covered in mud.

His clothes were soft and smooth and her clothes were still wet and wrinkled.

"The faucet is faulty." She was a little impatient. Her damp hair was hanging softly on her face and her pair of big eyes made her looked very miserable.

He reached out and pulled her into his bathroom. "Wash up here first. I will look for someone to repair the faucet."

Finally, she still had to take her bath in her jinx's bathroom. After a refreshing bath, Jia Shao hummed a tune and went back to her own room. Drawing the curtains closed, she went to sleep to make up for the sleep she lost in the morning.

When the sky turned dark, Jia Shao felt waves of cold swept over her body. She shrunk her body but she still felt cold. After much difficulty, she sat up and a wave of dizziness overwhelmed her.

She clutched the quilt and realized the room was strangely cold.

Forcing her eyelids to open, she looked at the air conditioner on the wall.

In the darkness, the indicator light on the air conditioner flashed clearly. Her eyes were drawn to the little green light that showed 18℃ which made her shiver uncontrollably.

She had clearly turned on the heater to 22℃. When did it change to cold air at 18℃? And it was also blasting with gusts of cold wind.

She held up the remote control and tried to adjust the temperature but the digital display on the air conditioner did not respond at all.

She sucked in her nose and the feeling of blocked nose made her cough a few times. She felt even dizzier.

When she stepped on the floor, the bones in her whole body felt sore and painful as if she had been severely beaten up. Her head felt as if it had suddenly expanded ten times over and it was wobbling on her neck. The golden glow of light danced in front of her eyes and her nose was burning.

With difficulty, she managed to open the door but she could not see any hotel staff in the corridor. She tried to open her mouth and it felt so dry that she was unable to speak.

Pushing along the wall, she walked to the next room to knock on the door without much thought and squeezed out a few words. "Vet, open the door."

The door was quickly opened. Jia Shao who was standing outside the door leaned forward and collapsed into Zhen Lang's arms.

His hands naturally lifted up to hug her and his brows knotted tightly. "Why are you so hot?"

Hot? Why does she feel that her body is cold and shivering?

However, his body feels really comfortable and warm. To be hugged by him gives her more strength.

"The air conditioner in my room is faulty. Help me call for maintenance." She leaned into his arms and opened her eyes with difficulty. "You are a jinx. You caused me to fall into the water, caused my van to break down and my faucet and my air conditioner are faulty. Just you wait. When I wake up from my sleep, I will deal with you."

"Don't talk." Zhen Lang picked her up and put her down carefully on his bed. He wrapped her tightly with the quilt and then started to rummage in his bag.

"Vet........" Someone held her head weakly. "My head feels very dizzy and my bones are sore. Did you take advantage and beat me up while I was sleeping just now?"

"Shut up." Zhen Lang pulled out a thermometer from his bag. He undid her clothes and stuffed it in. "Keep that in place and afterward, take a few pills."

The pitiful person could not even sit up and kept sliding down. Zhen Lang decided to hold her up in his arms by placing both his arms around her shoulders and let her nestled on his chest.

Finally finding the warmth she needed, Jia Shao let out a soft moan and gently lay on his chest. Feeling dissatisfied she rubbed her head against him until she found the right warmth on his skin. She stopped her movements after she was satisfied and happily moved her lips.

When she finally fell into a dream, she was again awakened by someone shaking and gently patting on her cheeks. When she resisted with irritation, she was force-fed a few pills and a few mouthfuls of water.

The warmth on her body had disappeared and she expressed her dissatisfaction by reaching out her hand to grab back the warmth.

Until she finally could capture the warmth back to her, she tucked her hands and legs into the warmth and settled back into the comfortable place she just found, happily hugging it.

"Girl, do you feel comfortable?" A familiar voice came from the big bolster.

She replied with a snort and hugging the big bolster to her body, she turned over with the bolster tightly below her and pitched up her little ass high in the air.

"It's difficult for me to endure if you are like this." He whispered into her ear while he rubbed her cheek gently with his fingers. "It has been so many years and it's rare to see you fall sick. Unexpectedly you are still so discourteous."

Someone who was dreaming in her sleep, in fact, did not hear anything. She was having a sweet dream and in her dream, she was holding a huge warm water bag which kept her warm from top to bottom.

In her dreams, she was thinking that In the future, if she is able to hug this every day, it will be so nice.
