“Oh? A message?”
Pursing his thin lips, Han Qing fished out his phone and pressed it a few times. “Oh, my phone’s dead.”
His phone was really switched off, and Yan directly took it from him. “I’ll help you recharge it then. Why didn’t you fully recharge your phone before heading out? This is a bad habit. Also, did you bring a power bank? If you didn’t, I’ve brought two. I’ll share one with you after this!”
In fact, Han Qing did have all these things. After all, he was a self-disciplined person; he would charge his phone at night so that it could be used for a whole day, but… he stayed in the same room with this girl last night… so he forgot about it.
In front of her, all these traits that he was supposed to be proud of slowly got out of control.
This is bad.
Han Qing reached out to pinch the girl’s fair face with a tint of blush. “That’s nice. Then from now on I’ll leave my phone to you.”
“OK!” Yan did not mind and immediately stuffed his phone into her own pocket. She wanted to sneak back into the room, but when she passed by Han Qing, her collar was held by him.
“Now that the phone problem is solved, shall we discuss another problem?”
With her collar held by Han Qing, Yan asked, “Another problem?”
What problem?
Yan opened her eyes widely. “Is there anything you want to tell me?
Han Qing looked at her with a half-smile.
“Where did you squat just now?”
Yan went silent.
As soon as the question was asked, Yan felt that something was slightly wrong. Guilt-ridden, she avoided Han Qing’s eyes and slightly coughed out. “I just felt like casually squatting around…”
“Felt like casually squatting around?”
“Yes!” Yan nodded her head with all her might. “I noticed that you weren’t here, so I came out to wait for you. Since there’s no other place nearby, I just casually found a spot and squatted there. Did I look like a fool? Hahaha, I won’t squat like that again next time.”
Yan joked as she tried to avoid the topic.
But Han Qing wasn’t the type who could be fooled easily. Just as Yan awkwardly joked about it, Han Qing stared at her with a half-smile. Immediately, her smile faded a little as she awkwardly bit her lower lip.
This was a psychological confrontation. Yan initially planned to play dumb until the end. But, since Han Qing was staring at her like this, she felt very uncomfortable and could only look at him pitifully.
“Alright, I admit I squatted over there on purpose, okay?” Yan bowed her head a little while continuing her explanation, “I didn’t see you when I woke up, and you didn’t leave a message for me. That’s why I went to the next door to check if you were there, and then…”
At this point, Yan’s words seemed a bit hesitant. As she recalled the scene, it seemed that Lin Qin’er’s behavior was quite strange.
Han Qing obviously came back from outside, but why did Lin Qin’er act as though there was another person with her in the room? Did she intentionally want her to misunderstand? Or did…
Unable to think further, Yan suddenly lifted her head and looked at Han Qing firmly. “I’d like to verify something. Can you return to the room first and wait for me?”
At this very instant, the girl became clear-eyed, as though she had already made a decision. Looking at her expression, Han Qing made no objections and asked, “Don’t you want me to stay?”
Upon hearing that, Yan shook her head. “It’s okay, I can handle such a trifle.”
“Alright, I’ll wait for you.”
He agreed with what his girl wanted to do and believed that she could solve those things. Although his girl was very naive, she was not dumb, and some things had to be explored by herself.
Yan took a deep breath after Han Qing left. As she tucked her hair behind her ears, she suddenly realised the way she looked right now was a little…
Should she go back and clean herself up first?
Forget it. If she went back right now, the prey would run away right? She’d go now!
Thinking about this, Yan turned around and went back knocking on the door.
As Lin Qin’er opened the door, she was a little surprised to see that Yan was still dressed this way as before. “Yan, I thought I told you to go back and wash up, didn’t I? Why are you still looking like this? You haven’t even changed your clothes…”
As soon as she finished, Lin Qin’er suddenly realized something. “Were you not washing up in your room?”
But Yan just looked past Lin Qin’er with a firm expression that slightly frightened her. After all this time, this girl is still the same. Could it be that she has been guarding outside? And now she’s back knocking at the door again?
Does she want to come in and search?
No, I can’t let her in. It wasn’t easy for Lin Qin’er to create the illusion by taking advantage of the situation. If it was destroyed just like that, there wouldn’t be another chance as good as this in the future.
Thinking of this, Lin Qin’er simply came out. “Where did you go? Why didn’t you go back and change? Should I accompany you back?”
Seeing that Lin Qin’er was about to grab her hand, Yan did not avoid her and held her by her arm while saying affectionately, “It’s not that I didn’t go back to wash up. I just happened to notice that I forgot to bring my toothbrush last night, and my facial cleanser seemed to have disappeared too. Maybe I left them while I was packing last night. That’s why I came back to look for them.”
Listening to her words, Lin Qin’er became stiff. She had no idea that Yan would suddenly utter such things.
“Toothbrush? Facial cleanser?”
“That’s right.” Yan nodded. “How can I brush my teeth without a toothbrush? And my skin is a little oily. I need my facial cleanser to wash it clean. Let’s go, Miss Lin, please accompany me to see if my toothbrush and facial cleanser are there.”
As she finished her words, Yan held Lin Qin’er’s arm, preparing to enter the room.
Lin Qin’er realized what Yan was about to do at this moment and swiftly stopped in her tracks. “Wait a minute.”
Yan blinked while looking at her with an innocent face. “What’s wrong, Miss Lin?”
“Did you… really leave your toothbrush here? But, it’s already been a long time since you left, and you only think of washing up now?”
Without a flushed face, Yan nodded and explained calmly, “That’s right, I took a nap as I was sleepy after going back. I just woke up and wanted to wash myself up. That’s when I found out that both my toothbrush and facial cleanser were missing.”
Lin Qin’er stared at her, trying to verify the authenticity of her words. But Yan’s gaze was innocent, and her facial expression was natural. Not even a single trace of lie could be found.
Could it be that what she said was true? Did she really go back to bed? Did she come back after finding out that her toothbrush and facial cleanser were missing just as she was about to wash up?
Although Lin Qin’er started to believe Yan, she still didn’t want to let Yan in and destroy the illusion she had created. Therefore, she spoke softly, “Why don’t you go back first, and I’ll help you search for them and send them to you later?”
Yan blinked while looking at Lin Qin’er. “Will you really send them over to me?”
