Qin Yunhan didnât feel quite satisfied with the duration of Wang Haoranâs stay, but it was already getting quite late.
âLet me call my driver.â Wang Haoran picked up his phone and dialled a fake number.
He put the phone to his ear and put it down again after a while.
âIs no one answering the phone?â Qin Yunhan asked upon seeing how Wang Haoran couldnât seem to get through.
âYeah, I donât know what the driver is doing.â Wang Haoran said with a sigh.
âItâs quite late, and there are almost no taxis on the road outside the school. It seems that Iâll have to walk back on my own two legs.â
âWhere do you live?â Qin Yunhan asked.
âAt Lishui Villa.â
Lishui Villa was a wealthy area in Qingling City. Itâs about a 20-minute drive from here, but walking would probably take until the wee hours of the morning.
âItâs too far to walk; how can you go walking?â Qin Yunhan was also worried about Wang Haoran.
âWell, I could stay here for the night and just sleep on the floor.â Wang Haoran felt that it was time.
âAh? ThatâsâŠâ Qin Yunhan hesitated.
âOn second thought, thatâs just an excuse for me to talk to you more. Iâve caused you enough worry, so Iâll just start walking back.â Wang Haoran walked to the door with a rather lonely face.
âWait a minute.â
Unable to bear it any longer, Qin Yunhan stopped Wang Haoran, âItâs not that Iâm worried about being with you. Itâs just that I was shocked. But you⊠you can stay here, for just one nightâŠâ
She was also afraid of the dark but with someone next to her, she wouldnât be so afraid.
Moreover, itâs not like she wanted him to leaveâŠ
However, her restraint rendered her too embarrassed to just admit it outright.
âTake a seat, IâŠIâm going to take a shower.â With a red face, she got some clothes and went into the shower room.
With the summer heat, itâs difficult to avoid showering for even a day.
Thus, the neat and tidy Qin Yunhan wouldnât be able to rest without first taking a bath.
When she temporarily disappeared from his sight, Wang Haoran couldnât help but smile in secret.
âNot heading back and offering to sleep on the floor is the first step of the plan.â
âThe following steps are:â
ââItâs cold on the ground, letâs sleep on the bed instead. Weâll take a side each, similar to how the well water does not offend the river water.ââ
ââI canât sleep; wonât you let me hold your hand? Weâll meet again in my dreams.ââ
ââI still canât sleep; itâs better if I just hold you.ââ
ââIâll just put my hand here; it wonât move.ââ
ââIâll take a look, just a look!ââ
ââJust a rub, I swear! Itâll just be a rub.ââ
âItâll all be water under the bridge after that.â
[Samael: Bro, what have you been reading? What am I reading?]
[Kshn: At this point, even I donât know.]
After all, routines were routines, and thatâs precisely what this scenario was. Because of Qin Yunhanâs unswerving favorability rating, her own routine will inevitably hand over these things on its own.
Eventually, Wang Haoran grew bored of waiting and turned on his [X-Ray Vision] to take a look.
Originally, he wanted to check how much longer Qin Yunhan needed to wash up⊠before his eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of an eavesdropping Xiao Yifeng, his ear pressed against the wall in the teacherâs bedroom next door.
Wang Haoran was startled.
The room next door belonged to Song Zhenyu, but due to its small size and incomplete infrastructure, she just only occasionally uses it for a nap during noon.
She wasnât here during the night.
âXiao Yifeng truly deserves to be the protagonist to just âsomehowâ eavesdrop in the perfect spot.â
When he saw him eavesdropping, Xiao Yifeng had an angry look on his face, his fingers practically digging into the wall.
âHe looks pissed.â
He came here with the intent of eavesdropping, and after hearing the way Qin Yunhan conversed with Wang Haoran, he mustâve been served some rather humble pie.
It would be strange if he wasnât angry.
âHowever, this guyâs in the wayâŠâ
Wang Haoran suddenly became a little troubled.
Zuoqiu Chenyu had yet to prepare the materials needed for Xiao Yifengâs poison, so he naturally couldnât use poison to deal with him.
If he fought head-on, heâd beat Xiao Yifeng, but heâd make too much noise.
That would render his efforts on Qin Yunhan in vain.
After thinking about it, Wang Haoran made a bet.
Xiao Yifeng was either following him or simply acting in Qin Yunhanâs interests.
Whichever one it is, heâs sure to actâŠ
Wang Haoran couldnât believe that this guy could possibly stand next door and eavesdrop for the whole night.
After a while, Qin Yunhan finally came out.
âIâll go wash up too. â Wang Haoran smiled and walked into the shower room.
âWhatever, Iâll shower first. The weatherâs quite hot. With all the sweat Iâve accumulated, my body feels sticky. At this rate, itâll be a challenge to fall asleep.â
âI donât have any clothes to change into, but that doesnât matter. Just a shower will be good enough.â
When he entered the shower, rather than doing so immediately, he first monitored Xiao Yifengâs actions with his [X-Ray Vision].
After sticking to the wall for a while, he suddenly pulled a towel to cover his face, before sneakily leaving the room. After confirming that no one was outside, he came to knock on Qin Yunhanâs door.
âWho is it?â Qin Yunhan asked.
âIâm Teacher Qi, can you please open the door? Iâve run out of tissues in my room, can I borrow some?â The voice of the reply sounded like it came from a middle-aged woman.
Wang Haoran clearly saw, through his [X-Ray Vision], that Xiao Yifeng was the speaker.
âThis bloody protagonist is quite good.â
âI never knew he could pretend to be a woman.â
[On the other side]
Qin Yunhan didnât know who this Teacher Qi was, but upon hearing the voice, she immediately judged that the other party was a woman.
She didnât really harbour any suspicions, so she just took a pack of tissues, opened the door a little, and handed out the tissue with the intent of sending âTeacher Qiâ away.
After all, Qin Yunhan didnât want to be seen together with Wang Haoran, lest there be some âunsavouryâ gossip.
However, even before she saw the other person, a hand came in directly from the crack of the door.
With a tap on her shoulderâŠ
Qin Yunhan fell fast asleep, fainting softly on the ground.
Xiao Yifeng hurried into the room and closed the door.
âWhat the hell is he planning on doing?â
Wang Haoran, who observed all of this from the shower, couldnât help but be a little puzzled.
He continued to watch.
He saw Xiao Yifeng walking towards the shower room, taking out a silver needle from his body, before reaching out to knock on the door.
âWang Haoran, can you open the door?â The voice was actually quite similar to Qin Yunhanâs.
âWhy must you insist on continuing this damned charade?â
But still, he could actually imitate Qin Yunhanâs voice!
Wang Haoran voiced his complaints in secret.
With his current combat strength, he could defeat Xiao Yifeng in a head-to-head battle, but it was extremely unlikely that he would kill him.
At best, theyâd fight, leaving Xiao Yifeng seriously injured and running for his life.
However, Xiao Yifeng himself was proficient with medicine. He was more than capable of treating himself, so it wouldnât make much sense to do so.
Moreover, Xiao Yifeng could not be dealt with in just one go. He needed to prepare.
Thus, Wang Haoran swiftly came to a decision.
âWang Haoran, can you open the door? Iâve got a towel to wipe you with~â
[Samael: â(ăĐă)â *vomits*]
From outside the door, Xiao Yifeng continued to imitate Qin Yunhanâs voice, all the while acting coquettishly.
Wang Haoran almost vomited on the spot.
âThis protagonist⊠can you be any more disgusting?â
âItâs one thing to pretend to be a woman, itâs another to act like one!â
