“Has your relationship really moved along this quickly?” Xiao Laoshi's feeble voice emerged from the bed.

“Laoshi, what do you know?” Zheng Xiaolong asked, taken aback.

“Today, while Ye Hao was with me for my infusion, he somehow convinced Tang Pianpian to come by.”

“Convinced?”

“I didn't convince her,” Ye Hao said, at a loss for words.

“Ye Hao, that's where you're wrong,” Zheng Xiaolong chastised earnestly. “Zhang Lan is quite a catch. Why would you go and hit on Tang Pianpian?”

Jealousy was evident in Zheng Xiaolong's voice.

“Enough already. Just lend me your phone,” Ye Hao said with an exasperated glance at Zheng Xiaolong.

“Here. Tang Pianpian's number is in my contacts,” Zheng Xiaolong said, somewhat reluctantly passing his phone to Ye Hao.

?Ye Hao located Tang Pianpian's number and made the call. Within seconds, Tang Pianpian's voice was heard.

“Who is this?”

“It's me.”

“Ye Hao!” Tang Pianpian exclaimed with delight. “Are you okay?”

“I'm fine.”

“Where are you now?”

“At the university dorm.”

“Which one?”

“Building Two, Room 101.”

“I'll be right there,” Tang Pianpian said before hanging up.

Ye Hao handed the phone back to Zheng Xiaolong.

Zheng Xiaolong's eyes sparkled. “Is Tang Pianpian coming to see you?”

“Yes.”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xiaolong quickly dashed to the mirror to fix his hair. Yuan Gaoxing swiftly removed his tank top and donned a white shirt. Xiao Laoshi, looking rather frail, got out of bed and meticulously dressed himself.

“That's enough,” Ye Hao said, watching the flurry of activity with a sense of resignation.

Ten minutes later, Tang Pianpian's voice rang out from the balcony.

“Ye Hao.”

From the balcony, Ye Hao spotted an out-of-breath Tang Pianpian. He smiled and said, “I'm coming out.”

When Ye Hao stepped outside, Tang Pianpian was still catching her breath.

“Why did you run so fast?”

They found a cozy diner and ordered a few stir-fried dishes.

Tang Pianpian handed Ye Hao's phone back to him.

“Your phone's dead.”

“I'm aware.”

“What happened today? Loong Yuanzhu mentioned they have significant backing,” Tang Pianpian voiced her confusion.

“Do you know Zhuo Jing?”

“Zhuo Jing? He's a sophomore.”

“He saw us entering the hotel.”

Tang Pianpian was taken aback. “Are you suggesting Zhuo Jing is behind this?”

“No,” Ye Hao clarified with a gentle shake of his head, “it was Wei Tuo.”

“Wei Tuo?” Tang Pianpian's face fell. “The Wei family owns several business clubs in Glento, and I've heard they have connections with the elite.”

“You're quite informed,” Ye Hao remarked, looking at Tang Pianpian with curiosity.

“Zhuo Jing told me all this,” she replied, “so it was Wei Tuo who orchestrated everything.”

Loong Yuanzhu's influence in Weyphia City is unquestionable, but in the international city of Glento, he's just an average Joe.

Tang Pianpian was convinced that the school's top brass had intervened to help Ye Hao out of his predicament.

Following Loong Yuanzhu's hint, she had passed the information to Leng Xue.

Leng Xue reaching out to the school authorities was clearly more impactful than if she had attempted it herself.

What Leng Xue didn't realize, though, was that the school officials hadn't been the ones to make a difference. Without Lin Rou'er's personal intervention, how could Ye Hao have been released?

Since Tang Pianpian didn't inquire further, Ye Hao didn't elaborate.

“Do you know Blossomfall Chateau?” After some conversation, Ye Hao steered the topic in a new direction.

“Blossomfall Chateau is just two bus stops from our school,” Tang Pianpian confirmed with a nod. “Why do you ask?”

“I saw online that there are a few houses available for rent at Blossomfall Chateau.”

“You're thinking of renting a house?” Tang Pianpian asked, her eyes wide with surprise.

“What's the matter?”

“Well, Glento's property prices are the highest in the nation, which means rents are steep too. Blossomfall Chateau is a decent community, but if you're looking to rent there, you're looking at about 6,000 yuan for a place.”

“I'm aware.” Ye Hao nodded in acknowledgment.

The price was within Ye Hao's budget.

“You're quite the wealthy one, aren't you?” Tang Pianpian chuckled.

“How do I qualify as wealthy?” Ye Hao smiled in response.

“Since we've got some time, how about we check out Blossomfall Chateau after we eat?” Tang Pianpian suggested.
