Chapter 101: Walls Have Ears
Qin Yunhan was still a bit reluctant to leave and wanted to spend more time with Wang Haoran, but it was really late.
“I’ll call my driver,” Wang Haoran said, picking up his phone and dialing a fake number.
He put the phone to his ear, waited a moment, and then put it down.
“Couldn’t reach him?” Qin Yunhan noticed Wang Haoran seemed to have failed to connect and asked.
“Yeah, I don’t know what the driver is up to,” Wang Haoran said with a troubled expression. “It’s so late, and there are hardly any taxis outside the school. Looks like I’ll have to walk home.”
“Where do you live?” Qin Yunhan asked.
“Over by Lishui Villas.”
Lishui Villas is a wealthy area in Qingling City, about a twenty-minute drive from here. Walking would take until the early hours of the morning.
“Walking is too far; that’s not feasible,” Qin Yunhan worried for Wang Haoran.
“How about I stay here for the night? I can sleep on the floor,” Wang Haoran suggested, feeling the time was right.
“Ah? This…” Qin Yunhan hesitated.
“I just want to talk with you more. If you’re not comfortable, I’ll walk home,” Wang Haoran said, looking dejected as he headed for the door.
“Wait a minute,” Qin Yunhan called out, unable to bear it. “It’s not that I don’t trust you; I was just scared earlier. You… you can stay here for the night.”
She was afraid of the dark, and having someone nearby would make her feel safer. Besides, she really wanted to spend more time with Wang Haoran, but as a girl, she was too shy to say it outright.
“Make yourself comfortable. I’ll… I’ll go take a shower,” Qin Yunhan said, blushing as she grabbed some clothes and headed to the bathroom.
It was summer, and not showering for a day was uncomfortable. Cleanliness-loving Qin Yunhan couldn’t stand going to bed without a shower.
Seeing Qin Yunhan disappear from view, Wang Haoran couldn’t help but smile secretly.
Not sleeping on the floor was the first step of his plan. The next steps were:
The floor is too cold; let’s sleep on the bed, one on each side, without crossing boundaries.
I can’t sleep; let me hold your hand, and we’ll meet in dreams.
Still can’t sleep; let me hug you.
I’ll just put my hand here, I promise not to move.
Let me just take a look, just one glance!
I promise, just a little touch, just a little!
Then, everything would naturally fall into place.
This was the plan, and given Qin Yunhan’s deep affection, she would likely fall for it.
Feeling a bit bored while waiting, Wang Haoran activated his X-ray vision to take a look.
He originally wanted to see how much longer Qin Yunhan would take, but his gaze inadvertently caught Xiao Yifeng eavesdropping with his ear against the wall in the adjacent teacher’s dormitory.
Wang Haoran was startled.
The room next door belonged to Song Zhenyu, but it was very small and lacked complete facilities, so Song Zhenyu only occasionally took naps there during the day. She wouldn’t be there at night.
Xiao Yifeng, true to his protagonist nature, had somehow managed to sneak over and eavesdrop.
Xiao Yifeng was listening with his ear to the wall, his face full of anger, and there were finger marks on the wall where he had angrily scratched.
He seemed really upset.
He must have been eavesdropping for a while, overhearing the conversation between Qin Yunhan and himself, and naturally feeling like a third wheel.
No wonder he was angry.
“This guy is a bit of a nuisance here…”
Wang Haoran felt a bit troubled.
Zuoqiu Chenyu had not yet prepared all the materials needed for the poison to deal with Xiao Yifeng, so naturally, he couldn’t use poison against him.
If he were to fight Xiao Yifeng head-on, he could win, but it would definitely cause a commotion.
In that case, his plan with Qin Yunhan would definitely be ruined.
After some thought, Wang Haoran decided to play it by ear.
Xiao Yifeng might have followed him here, or he might have come for Qin Yunhan.
But regardless of the reason, he would surely take action.
Wang Haoran didn’t believe Xiao Yifeng could eavesdrop all night.
A while later, Qin Yunhan finally came out.
“I’ll go wash up too,” Wang Haoran said with a smile, heading into the bathroom.
The weather was hot, and he had sweated during the day, making his body sticky and uncomfortable for sleeping, so he definitely needed a shower.
He didn’t have a change of clothes, but it didn’t matter since he was here for something important.
Once in the bathroom, Wang Haoran didn’t immediately shower but used his X-ray vision to monitor Xiao Yifeng’s actions.
He saw Xiao Yifeng eavesdrop for a while, then suddenly cover his face with a towel and sneak out of the adjacent room. After confirming no one was outside, he came over to knock on Qin Yunhan’s door.
“Who is it?” Qin Yunhan asked.
“I’m Teacher Qi. Could you open the door? I’m out of tissues in my room and wanted to borrow some,” replied a voice that sounded like a middle-aged woman.
Wang Haoran, using his X-ray vision, clearly saw that it was Xiao Yifeng speaking.
Damn, this protagonist is really something.
He could even imitate a woman’s voice?
On the other side.
Qin Yunhan didn’t know who Teacher Qi was, but the voice sounded like a woman, so she didn’t suspect anything. She grabbed a pack of tissues, opened the door slightly, and handed them out, intending to send this Teacher Qi away.
After all, with Wang Haoran there, Qin Yunhan didn’t want anyone else to find out and spread rumors.
However, before Qin Yunhan could see the person, a hand reached through the door gap and tapped her shoulder.
Qin Yunhan suddenly felt drowsy and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Xiao Yifeng quickly entered the room and closed the door.
“What is he planning?”
Wang Haoran, observing Xiao Yifeng’s movements from the bathroom, couldn’t help but wonder.
He continued to watch.
Xiao Yifeng approached the bathroom and took out a silver needle, preparing to knock on the door.
“Wang Haoran, could you open the door?” The voice was almost identical to Qin Yunhan’s.
Show off, keep showing off!
He could even mimic Qin Yunhan’s voice!
Wang Haoran silently mocked Xiao Yifeng.
With his current combat power, he could defeat Xiao Yifeng in a direct fight, but killing him was unlikely.
The best outcome of a direct fight would be Xiao Yifeng escaping with serious injuries.
However, Xiao Yifeng had medical skills and could heal himself, so it wouldn’t be very effective.
Moreover, if he couldn’t eliminate Xiao Yifeng in one go, it would make him more cautious. It was better to find an opportunity to ambush him.
Wang Haoran quickly made up his mind.
“Wang Haoran, open the door. I brought a towel for you to dry off.”
Outside, Xiao Yifeng imitated Qin Yunhan’s voice, even acting coquettishly.
Wang Haoran almost gagged.
This protagonist, could he be any more disgusting?
Imitating a woman was bad enough, but he even acted coquettishly!
