Chapter 56

Jiang Zi was confused and about to close the door.

Just then, a dark shadow suddenly flashed out from behind the door.

“Ah…”

She was startled and about to slam the door shut.

But a hand suddenly grabbed the door frame and pulled hard.

Her strength was no match for the other person; despite using all her might, the door was slowly being pulled open.

A feeling of despair flashed through her mind.

At that moment, she suddenly heard the other person speak, “Don’t be afraid, it’s me.”

She paused for a second, then slowly let go of her grip.

Then she saw Tang Feng slowly come into view.

“Geez, what are you doing? You scared me to death,” Jiang Zi, seeing that it was him, finally breathed a sigh of relief and went up to give him a pat on the chest.

“I didn’t expect you to be so vigilant,” Tang Feng said with a wry smile, rubbing his fingers that had been pinched by the door.

“Why were you hiding behind the door? Didn’t it pinch you?” Jiang Zi asked while taking his hand to check.

“I was just about to knock on the door to tell you something when you opened it again,” Tang Feng explained, smiling at her worried look.

Seeing his gaze, Jiang Zi hurriedly let go of his hand, “Go ahead, what else do you want? You’ve already escorted me to my doorstep, what more could you possibly want? You’re not thinking of staying over, are you? Let me tell you, it’s impossible! You and I are just classmates, don’t think you can take advantage of me…”

“Stop, stop, stop, lady, you’re overthinking it. I wasn’t planning on staying over,” Tang Feng had to raise his hand to interrupt her as her words became increasingly improper.

Jiang Zi, realizing she might have misunderstood something, became angry and embarrassed, “Then what is it that you want? If you have something to say, say it quickly. It’s already late, and I need to sleep.”

Tang Feng stopped joking and spoke seriously, “I just wanted to remind you to make sure you close all the doors and windows when you go to sleep. During dinner, I noticed someone peeping at you; I’m afraid they might harbor ill intentions toward you.”

Jiang Zi looked at him with half belief and half doubt, “You’re not using this as an excuse to stay over, are you?”

Tang Feng immediately rolled his eyes, “Class President, now is not the time for vanity. Anyway, I’ve warned you. If you notice anything suspicious, call me immediately. Remember to lock the doors and windows, and don’t open them for anyone.”

He emphasized his instruction once more before turning to leave.

And he left swiftly, without any hesitation.

Jiang Zi watched him disappear into the corridor, then realized he wasn’t joking, and her pretty face suddenly changed.

“You…”

She really wanted to call him back.

In the middle of the night, a girl like her was indeed in danger.

But as she hesitated, Tang Feng’s figure had already vanished.

She hurriedly closed the door and locked it from the inside.

Still not reassured, she dragged the coffee table over to block the door.

Only then did she feel a little more at ease.

But she knew that for ruthless criminals, these measures were essentially useless.

Looks like there would be no sound sleep tonight.

This annoying guy!

When she wanted him to leave, he insisted on coming along with a thick face.

And when she didn’t want him to go, he left all too quickly.

…

Tang Feng had no idea of Miss Jiang’s thoughts.

If he knew she had thoughts of keeping him later, he would be kicking himself.

“`

He utterly missed a heaven-sent chance to spend a wonderful night with the goddess.

He didn’t leave immediately, but instead hid in a corner on the ground floor feeding mosquitoes for a while.

It wasn’t until he noticed nothing was amiss that he finally felt at ease to leave.

His place wasn’t far from Jiang Zi’s home; he rode a shared bike and arrived in less than ten minutes.

He really hadn’t expected that they lived so close and yet had never run into each other before.

It seemed that the system could not only grant him various abilities but also bring him good fortune.

He whistled his way back home and just as he reached the second floor’s stairwell.

Suddenly, he saw a woman dressed in red with disheveled hair walking out of the dark.

“Holy shit!”

He exclaimed in shock, feeling a tightness in his lower back, nearly peeing himself in fright.

He had long since said that Qin Yanan’s building had bad feng shui, and she hadn’t believed him.

And now, in the middle of the night, it was actually haunted.

Just when he was about to turn and run.

He suddenly heard the other person speak, “What time is it now? You finally remember to come back?”

Huh? Why did the voice sound so much like Qin Yanan’s?

When he turned on his phone’s flashlight and looked over, who could it be if not Qin Yanan?

“Mrs. Nan, are you just waiting here in the middle of the night to scare me to death? Are you trying to scare me so you can inherit my credit limit on ‘Huabei’?” He was still unsettled, with a cold sweat breaking out on his back.

It looked like he couldn’t afford to do anything guilty in the future, otherwise he might really be scared to death.

Wait? Why in the future?

He hadn’t done anything guilty before.

Yeah, absolutely never!

“Don’t flatter yourself, who’s waiting for you? I … I just felt it was too hot at home and came out for some cool air,” Qin Yanan came up with a lame excuse.

Tang Feng gave her a quick once-over.

She was dressed very elegantly, in a red dress paired with red high heels; she didn’t look at all like someone out to cool off.

“Cooling off? You look more like you’re out for a date. Tell me, which man has the audacity to ask you out on a date?”

“Okay kid, you dare to tease me, huh?”

Qin Yanan revealed a vicious expression and cracked her knuckles.

Of course, she was just putting on a show; her joints didn’t make the “crack” sound like the tough guys in the movies, obviously because she was afraid it would hurt.

“Alright, stop messing around in front of me, lest I have to deal with you,” Tang Feng tapped his hands as he walked towards his room, noticing that the corridor’s voice-activated light was broken again, and couldn’t help but complain, “Didn’t you say the light was fixed? How come it’s broken again?”

“Don’t even mention it; I bet that electrician was a dud, I’ll complain about him tomorrow.”

Qin Yanan followed him into the room.

As if she was completely unaware that entering a man’s room in the middle of the night could be so dangerous.

Tang Feng felt his dignity as a man was being challenged.

If he didn’t do something about it, wouldn’t he be letting down his fellow men?

Yep, even if he did something outrageous, it certainly wouldn’t be to satisfy his personal desires.

It would be for the dignity of his fellow men.

Yep, must be that.
