“Yunhan and Haoran have known each other for a long time. It’s normal for them to be close,” Qin Kai said matter-of-factly upon hearing Xiao Yifeng’s words.

“Uncle Qin, when I say close, I mean more like a couple, not just friends,” Xiao Yifeng stated bluntly.

“Yunhan and Haoran have taken a liking to each other?!” Qin Kai was initially surprised, but then he smiled with understanding. “Yunhan is an adult now. It’s normal for her to have such thoughts, and Haoran is quite an outstanding young man.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifeng’s face darkened. Qin Kai’s attitude clearly showed no opposition to Qin Yunhan and Wang Haoran’s relationship. In fact, his expression suggested he might even support it.

However, to be fair, Wang Haoran and Qin Yunhan were well-matched. A handsome man and a beautiful woman indeed made a perfect pair. But Xiao Yifeng was strongly opposed to this.

“Since Uncle Qin has no objections, I guess I’m just being petty,” Xiao Yifeng said, hiding his displeasure. He had his own plans for the young lady, but he couldn’t let Qin Kai know. Otherwise, Qin Kai would kick him out in no time.

“Yifeng, I have some matters to attend to, so I won’t be able to entertain you,” Qin Kai said as his assistant reminded him of an upcoming meeting.

“Uncle Qin, I’ll go investigate those three real estate bosses,” Xiao Yifeng nodded and left the office.

After leaving the Qin Group, Xiao Yifeng didn’t follow through on his promise to investigate the three suspected masterminds. Qin Kai had hired him as a bodyguard because Qin Yunhan was in danger. Once the danger was resolved, he could retire with honor.

Therefore, Xiao Yifeng wasn’t in a hurry to investigate. His biggest concern was that the young lady might be taken advantage of by Wang Haoran. Holding hands was something he could tolerate, but anything beyond that was unacceptable.

Since Qin Kai wasn’t taking action, Xiao Yifeng decided he had to. He had a plan to deal with Wang Haoran. The best way to prevent a man from pursuing a woman was to make him lose that ability. Historically, there was a profession for this: eunuchs.

Of course, Xiao Yifeng didn’t plan to cut it off outright, as such an act would cause too much commotion. It’s better to make him lose his ability quietly and without anyone noticing.

With his medical skills, Xiao Yifeng was confident that very few people in the world could cure Wang Haoran if he acted. With this decision made, Xiao Yifeng headed to the school, looking for an opportunity to make his move.

…

During the evening self-study break.

“Yunhan, after the evening self-study, I’m planning to go home to visit my grandfather.”

“Is Grandpa Mu okay?”

“He overexerted himself in the sun and got heatstroke, but he’s much better after some IV drips. Still, I want to visit him since I haven’t been home in a while.”

“That’s good to hear,” Qin Yunhan said, slightly relieved, but her expression soon fell. “Does that mean I’ll have to sleep alone tonight?”

Qin Yunhan and Mu Zhaozhao had been roommates for years, and she was used to it, especially since she was afraid of the dark. The thought of sleeping alone made her a bit scared.

“It’s okay. Just turn off the lights, close your eyes, and it’ll be morning when you wake up,” Mu Zhaozhao comforted her.

“I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep,” Qin Yunhan said, a bit frustrated.

“Why don’t you invite a female classmate over? That way, you won’t be scared,” Mu Zhaozhao suggested.

“I’d rather not. I’m only used to living with you,” Qin Yunhan shook her head, then mustered her courage. “It’s just one night. I should be able to manage.”

…

“Qin Yunhan will be alone tonight…” Wang Haoran overheard the conversation between Qin Yunhan and Mu Zhaozhao through his earpiece, and his heart stirred. He had been worried about not having a good opportunity to get close to Qin Yunhan, and now the chance had presented itself. It seemed like fate was on his side. If he didn’t act, it would be a waste of this opportunity.

The three evening self-study sessions ended quickly, and students began leaving the classroom. Qin Yunhan, carrying a few books, headed towards the teacher’s dormitory.

A while later, she arrived at the dormitory entrance and took out her key to unlock the door.

“Qin Yunhan?” A voice called out from nearby.

Qin Yunhan turned her head and saw Wang Haoran approaching. He was carrying some plastic bags, from which a fragrant aroma wafted.

“What brings you here?” Qin Yunhan asked happily.

“I brought some snacks. Want some?” Wang Haoran shook the items in his hand.

“How did you manage to get snacks so quickly after class?” Qin Yunhan asked in surprise.

“I left class early to go outside,” Wang Haoran said, though it was actually his driver who had brought the snacks. Qin Yunhan believed him and was even a bit touched. Skipping class to buy her snacks—he was too good to her.

[Ding, the host has stirred the heart of one of the female leads, Qin Yunhan, earning 100 villain points!]

“Come in,” Qin Yunhan said, opening the door.

Qin Yunhan went inside and placed the snacks on the small table in the room.

“Where’s Mu Zhaozhao?” Wang Haoran asked, feigning ignorance.

“She went home tonight.”

“Really? I brought so much food. Looks like you’ll have plenty to eat,” Wang Haoran smiled, opening all nine takeout boxes. Qin Yunhan would be lucky to finish a third of it.

“You brought so much. How can I eat it all by myself?” Qin Yunhan asked, unable to resist. “Are you hungry?”

“A little.”

“Then let’s eat together.”

“Sure,” Wang Haoran had been waiting for her invitation. After speaking, he casually closed the door. Qin Yunhan didn’t find this inappropriate. This was the teacher’s dormitory, and people often walked by outside. She was worried about being seen by a teacher while eating snacks with a boy in her dorm room. Feeling guilty, she was even more afraid of being seen privately with Wang Haoran.

Wang Haoran took out his phone and played a romantic drama movie. They watched the movie while eating snacks. Eating and watching at the same time slowed them down. Qin Yunhan, wanting to maintain her elegance, ate carefully, making her even slower.

Unknowingly, they finished watching a 90-minute movie, but the snacks were still unfinished. However, Qin Yunhan was quite full and didn’t want to continue eating.

“It’s already eleven,” Wang Haoran said, feigning surprise as he checked the time on his phone.

“Yeah, it’s so late already,” Qin Yunhan smiled, feeling content. Spending time eating and watching a movie with someone she liked was a delightful and enjoyable experience. Time had flown by without her noticing.
