CH 41.3

When Ye Yuqing went to the hot spring in the backyard to soak in the bubble pool, everyone else was already there.

There were two pools, separating the boys from the girls.

Everyone was chatting away, seeming trying to fish out useful information from each other’s mouths.

When Zhou Yanyan noticed that Ye Yuqing was alone, she suddenly inquired, “Hey, where is he?”

“He’s a merchant. He said that capitalists are all high and mighty, so he won’t be coming to the hot spring with so many people present.”

Although Zhou Yanyan was disappointed, she somewhat agreed, “…That makes sense. It appears he’s very committed to the play.”

When Li Che showed up in the lounge that day, all the girls’ eyes went straight to him.

At the time, there were two boys who weren’t particularly happy.#pleasereadthischapteratfoxaholic.com

Seeing that Ye Yuqing came alone this time, they kept talking to her.

But Ye Yuqing was a little absent-minded as Li Che was always on her mind.

Sitting there, she thought that it might be better if she just spent time with him instead.

Remembering what she said at the bar that night and if he wanted to try it with her…

After nearly ten minutes of absentmindedness, Ye Yuqing rose from the bubble pool before telling Zhou Yanyan that she was already sleepy.

“Then go rest, if you don’t have any clues to give me,” Zhou Yanyan said with a smile.

If Li Che wasn’t here, it’s fine by her, but since Ye Yuqing coming alone drew the attention of most of the boys, she was eager for her to leave as soon as possible.

Ye Yuqing nodded and said good night to the rest of the group, before turning around and walking away.

In the corridor, Ye Yuqing stopped in front of their door.

The door was locked from the inside.

The sound of water could be heard from the inside.

Li Che might be taking a bath.

‘Why is he locking up when he’s only taking a bath by himself? It’s not like I would sneak in to take a peek at him!’

‘What’s more is you can hardly see anything even if you try to peek because the frosted glass only shows a shadowy silhouette!’

Ye Yuqing crossed her arms across her chest as she readied herself to wait a while. A gust of wind blew through the corridor, which showed her the opposite room’s door was open.#pleasereadthischapteratfoxaholic.com

The room served as that day’s crime scene, and although the dead NPCs were no longer present, the blood that was spilled on the floor had not been cleaned up yet.

Her hair stood up as she was alone in the corridor…

Although their door was locked from the inside, their room’s window was open a tiny bit.

After giving it a quick thought, Ye Yuqing opened the window and entered through it.

At that moment, she realized that she could still sneak up on Li Che to scare him.

‘Why bother locking the door? It doesn’t make sense!’

…………

After his bath, Li Che realized that he had forgotten to bring his own towel.

He was a clean freak that had a habit of never using a hotel’s towels. Who knew how many people had rubbed their bodies on them?

Thinking that Ye Yuqing should not be back yet, and that the door was closed, after hesitating for two seconds, he turned off the shower and walked out.

When Ye Yuqing noticed that the water had stopped, she crouched by the bathroom door ready to scare him.

‘Whoever created this cliche scenario, I hope you enjoy!’

She jumped out only to see a man who was naked.

After being gobsmacked for a few seconds, she immediately turned her head around and squatted on the ground, not daring to move at all.

Li Che got startled too, as he quickly went back inside the bathroom.

‘When had she returned? Why’s she back so soon?’

Although he hoped that she would come back soon, this was too soon!

Ye Yuqing asked hesitantly in a low voice, “What’s wrong with you?! You like walking out with nothing on?”

Li Che took a deep breath before carefully enunciating his words, “I locked the door.”

Ye Yuqing quaked before asking, “But you didn’t close the window and I didn’t think you’d run out without anything one. When we were in Guangzhou, you weren’t like this.”

She was so embarrassed that she went into hiding.

‘Oh my God! If only I could die on the spot.

Li Che dryly replied, “I forgot to bring my towel, so I came out to get it.”

“Is that so?” Ye Yuqing’s heart raced as she tried to calm herself enough to reply, “Rest assured, you fled back in like a gust of wind, so I didn’t see anything! I’m going out now! Really going out!”

She rushed out of the room after saying this.

At that time, Ye Yuqing didn’t feel scared anymore. Nevertheless, her thoughts were in a mess.

She had walked around the corridor twice already, but she still couldn’t calm down.

‘In fact, it wasn’t my fault at all! Li Che wouldn’t think she did it on purpose, right?’

‘Will he think I’m a pervert now?’

“Ahh! Ahh!’ Ye Yuqing’s brain was too confused. This situation was more than she could handle.

She agonized for a while before taking out her mobile phone and sending a WeChat message to Xiao Yao.

Since she had a little bit more experience in this matter, and she was in a desperate need of reassurance right now.

On the other side, Xiao Yao jumped up from her sofa when she read Ye Yuqing’s message.

What the hell!

Jason’s face appeared in her mind. He was over 185cm tall and had long legs…

‘If he doesn’t have clothes on…’

She quickly shook her head to prevent her from fantasizing. ‘I shouldn’t do it! He’s Yezi’s man! I’m so indecent!’

Xiao Yao had failed to soothe her friend’s concern as her own mind was full of nonsense. So she simply called her.

“Did you really not see? You’ve probably calmed down a bit, so I’m going to ask you a serious question: DID YOU REALLY NOT SEE?#pleasereadthischapteratfoxaholic.com

Ye Yuqing held the phone with one hand as she facepalmed her red-hot face with the other.

“It’s just… it’s very important to take care of your eyes, right? I’m not like him, with my 200 degrees of nearsightedness and astigmatism.”

Xiao Yao snorted, “Damn it! Didn’t you tell him you didn’t see anything? What the hell did you really see?”

This is too exciting!

…………

Li Che got dressed and waited for a while, but she still didn’t come in.

‘Is she still standing outside in her bathing suit? It’s still a bit chilly at night… Does she want to get sick?’

Thinking so, he got up and went out, even though he still felt a bit weird.

‘It shouldn’t have been intentional, and she shouldn’t have seen it, right?’

His maid wasn’t outside the door. Li Che walked for more than ten meters along their corridor before seeing her standing under a tree. Her head was bowed and she was smiling, happily chatting with someone on the phone.

""

“I was afraid he’d be embarrassed, but I have very good 20/20 vision in both, so how can I say this… I can say that……… slender.”

Including the tiny mole on his leg.

After saying this, she found that a shadow was on the ground.

Sensing that something was wrong, Ye Yuqing slowly turned her head before bumping into a pair of inky black eyes.

“……”
