When she moved, Tang Yuanchu followed and got up from his seat as wellâ
âItâs just a bathroom break. Did you think that I could fly away?â Xie Wanwan looked at Tang Yuanchu with a somewhat disdainful smile and an unfriendly look. However, she did not stop him from following her.
This was becauseâshe couldnât stop him.
Tang Yuanchu was someone who would strictly abide by his task.
No matter what she said, he would follow.
Of course, he was also worried about his safety.
He read through the murdererâs script, which was being circulated on the internet more than once.
Same as Xiang Wan, The appearance of the kid also bewildered him, which was mentioned in the script. Why was there a kid? Why would Xie Wanwan run desperately inside the dark building for the sake of the kid?
When one couldnât figure it out, they would realize that there was something fishy about it.
This baffled Tang Yuanchu and thought maybe there was a secret he didnât know.
The lights at the restroom belonged to the atmospheric ones, which were rather dim.
Xie Wanwan walked to the entrance of the restroom and pushed it, then she suddenly turned around with a smile.
âDo you want to follow me inside?â
Tang Yuanchu turned away, back facing her. âIâll wait for you outside.â
Hur! Xie Wanwan narrowed her eyes and let out a cold snicker. âYouâre not worried that Iâll slip away from the restroom?â
Tang Yuanchu turned around and looked at her. âYou wonât do that if youâre smart.â
Xie Wanwan revealed a half-smile. âWhy?â
Tang Yuanchu replied, âOnly the police can protect you now, and you donât want to die.â
Xie Wanwan looked at him without batting an eyelid. A while later, she suddenly let out a laugh. âWho said that Iâm smart? Maybe⌠I suddenly have an interest in death?â
Tang Yuanchu didnât utter a reply. ââŚâ
âYouâre afraid that Iâd die?â She asked.
Back then, Tang Yuanchu was afraid.
She had done that before; she suffered a close brush with death and stayed on trending news for many daysâŚ
âYouâre afraid. Would you rather have me with you inside of the female restroom? Hmm?â Xie Wanwan suddenly felt like teasing him; she had an urge to know how much he could tolerate her.
She wanted to know as to what extent he would tolerate such crazy behavior.
Xie Wanwanâs chin was slightly raised while she challenged him; her contour lines were especially pleasing to the eyeâŚ
For a moment, Tang Yuanchu didnât reply.
He simply stared at her; his gaze was earnest and complicated.
âIâm asking you a question.â The corners of Xie Wanwanâs lips curled up sarcastically. She peered at him with a provoking expression. âOh, so you only have this much guts⌠AyeâŚâ
The moment she turned away from him, Tang Yuanchu immediately dashed over.
He held her waist and lifted her off the ground.
Xie Wanwan was startled. âWhat are you doing?â
Tang Yuanchu didnât answer her but knocked on the door of the female restroom, but he didnât receive any response. He pushed open the door, walked inside, and put Xie Wanwan down.
âYou may go ahead. Iâll stand guard here!â
Xie Wanwan was stupefied.
She couldnât believe her eyes⌠and ears.
Tang Yuanchu adjusted his attire and seemed calm. âAre you going or not?â
Xie Wanwan looked at his abrupt appearance in the restroom, her lips curled up in displeasure, but she didnât say a word.
Tang Yuanchu raised an eyebrow. âIf youâre not going, then shall I go ahead?â
Xie Wanwan didnât reply. ââŚâ
A girl happened to enter the restroom. She saw him and heard his words, which made her dumbfounded for a moment. She suddenly let out a scream and ran out of the toilet as if she saw a ghostâŚ
They heard someone talking outside. âWhat happened?â
âThereâs a pervert insideâŚâ
Tang Yuanchu stared at her without uttering a word. ââŚâ
Xie Wanwan did the same. ââŚâ
The two of them met each otherâs gaze.
Suddenly, Tang Yuanchu was simmering in laughter.
âSo, have you had enough fun?â
The restroom was not the right place to talk.
As if a big rock was stuck in Xie Wanwanâs throat, she opened her mouth, but in the end, she pointed towards the door. âWait for me outside.â
Tang Yuanchu replied, âIâve already said that Iâll stand guard here.â
âDo you want to be treated like a pervert and get beaten up?â
âSo be it! Whatâs the big deal anyway?â Tang Yuanchu was obstinate. He leaned against the door to block anyone from entering, then he raised his chin. âYou better hurry up!â
Xie Wanwan was at a loss for words again. ââŚâ
âIâm not going to the toilet now,â she remarked, âjust go out.â
Such restrooms were not made to be soundproof. Xie Wanwan didnât want him to hear the sounds while she used the toilet.
Tang Yuanchu made a grim expression as he contemplated and checked every cubicle.
There wasnât any window big enough for a human to pass through. There wasnât anyone at the restroom except for the two of them.
He nodded. âIâll wait at the entrance. Call me if anythingâŚâ
âWhy would I call you?â Xie Wanwan was ticked off.
âFor instanceâŚâ He turned around and winked at her, showing a bright smile. âYou need toilet paper?â
His show of guts also shocked her.
âHurry. If you donât come out fast enough, Iâm going to barge in.â Tang Yuanchu believed what she had said earlier about death. Just before he stepped out of the restroom, he even scrutinized her face with distrust and a hint of hidden worry. His fair face was engraved with youthfulness, and his gaze was pure and full of warmthâŚ
âMm.â Xie Wanwan lowered her head slowly, so he would not look at him.
Why did she fall for this person?
The feelings were obviously shallow.
Why did the heart delve so deep into it, though?
She had thought about it before.
At that moment, she finally understood.
Such pure youthfulness was sentimental and persistent, where love was placed first. It was something that she had lacked, something that her heart had been yearning for⌠Whenever he tried to be stern or fierce with her, he did it a little clumsily, which did not annoy her strangely, but his charm seduced her insteadâŚ
She wanted to fall in love with a man as pure as him.
It was a pity that she couldnât go back to her youth againâŚ
She had already lost those days.
Both of them came back from the private dining room with somewhat strange expressions.
Xiang Wan sensitively detected something as she sneaked a laugh at Xie Wanwan.
âCome quick, your favorite dishes are served.â
Xie Wanwanâs seat was beside her.
She showed a reluctant smile and sat there expressionlessly. When they were having their meal, she looked distracted.
Xiang Wan whispered to her. âHave you told him?â
Xie Wanwan was startled then she shook her head. âI couldnât. I just canât âŚâ
However, she couldnât keep this under wraps forever.
It was just a matter of time.
Xiang Wanâs scalp felt numb.
She had always thought that Xie Wanwan was a straightforward woman. She never expected that she would be so draggy.
What should she do? This matter shouldnât be dragged on anymore!
Xiang Wan turned to look at Bai Muchuan.
Coincidentally, he was also looking at her.
The two of them exchanged glances, and Xiang Wan knew what he wanted her to do.
She cleared her throat slightly. âOne who hesitates losses!â
Xie Wanwan heard that, and she lowered her gaze, not saying a word.
Tang Yuanchu was sitting beside Xie Wanwan and had heard them mumbling softly to each other.
âTeacher Xiang,â he asked with a smile, âwhat are you two whispering about?â
