While Si Mobai was taking his shower, someone knocked on the door. The worried Feng Tianlan frowned. “Who’s there?”
Who was so brainless as to disturb her alone time with Mobai?
She’d been separated from Mobai for three months, so she really needed some time alone with him.
Chen Xinyi stood outside the door, a cloaked wrapped tightly around her body. She was extremely nervous as she muttered, “Master Shen, it’s me.”
But when she heard the displeasure in Feng Tianlan’s charming voice, she couldn’t help but frown.
“Is anything the matter?” Feng Tianlan poked half of her head out from under the blanket and looked in the direction of the bathroom door. Chen Xinyi had come to find her in the middle of the night. Was Mobai going to get jealous again later?
“There is.”
“What’s the matter?” Feng Tianlan’s voice was very cold. They were both girls, and even if she were a man, she wouldn’t like Chen Xinyi. It’d be best if she didn’t mince her words, just to make sure she didn’t get the wrong idea and continue to hold out hope.
“Can Master Shen open the door?”
Feng Tianlan immediately rejected the request. “I can’t.”
Mobai was still inside. If that jealous bucket of vinegar flipped later, she’d be eaten clean alive.
Chen Xinyi didn’t expect Feng Tianlan to reject her so bluntly. A split second later, the sound of sobbing was heard from the other side of the door. “Master Shen, I just want to see you for a bit. We’re leaving tomorrow. If you don’t see me, I’ll… I won’t be able to live.”
Feng Tianlan was still staring at the bathroom. She softly muttered “oh” and didn’t take Chen Xinyi’s words to heart. When dealing with someone she didn’t have any feelings for, she should stay indifferent whenever she could. It was extremely important that she didn’t express any kind of friendly feelings. Otherwise, the girl would still hold out hope.
Originally, Si Mobai had been holding an unmentionable part of his body and fantasizing about Lan’er. Just before the climax, just as he was about to reach a release, he suddenly heard the voice outside. In the blink of an eye, his face became icy cold and a certain part of his body, which had been hard just a moment before, immediately became limp.
Looking for his Lan’er in the middle of the night?
He wanted to listen for himself and see what kind of lousy suitor his Lan’er had reeled in!
When Chen Xinyi realized that Feng Tianlan didn’t plan to open the door, she felt her heart grow extremely cold. But when she thought of Master Shen being kidnapped by the Demon King and led astray, consequently resulting in him becoming a cut-sleeve, she mustered up her courage once again.
In a soft voice, she said, “Master Shen, could you please open the door? Just treat it like our last meeting. After that, I’ll never bother Master again.”
Feng Tianlan was sprawled on the bed. She looked in the direction of the bathroom and exclaimed nonchalantly, “There’s no need.”
Chen Xinyi clenched her teeth. In order to return Master Shen to normal, she decided to risk it all. “If Master Shen won’t let me in, then I’ll have to break down the door.”
“Er…” Feng Tianlan was stunned. Had she heard wrong? Was she actually threatening her?
“And at that point, news will spread that an unwed woman like me and a bachelor like you met in the middle of the night and shared a room together. Even the Demon King wouldn’t believe you.” Chen Xinyi clenched her teeth. She had completely risked it all.
As long as she could get Master Shen to return to normal and not be a cut-sleeve anymore, everything else didn’t matter.
Feng Tianlan glanced at the bathroom door. She could no longer hear the sound of running water from inside or the indistinct shadow of him putting on his clothes. Such a ruckus had already alerted Mobai a long time ago, but he still didn’t make a sound, nor did he come out. Was this an attempt to catch her in the act of cheating?
“Hold on for a moment.” Feng Tianlan knitted her brows and tossed the blanket aside. Then, she directly got out of bed and went to open the door.
While Mobai was still around, she had to take the opportunity to clear things up with Miss Chen. That girl had to get rid of the infatuation she had for her. Mobai was already jealous, and a misunderstanding was brewing. She still didn’t know what kind of punishment she would have to suffer in a little while.
The door opened with a squeak. Chen Xinyi was standing at the entrance, gripping the band of the cloak tightly. When she saw the door open, she didn’t dare to lift up her head. She merely bowed her head and walked inside before closing the door behind her.
Feng Tianlan frowned. “Why did you close the door?”
They were a bachelor and an unwed woman meeting in the dead of night. It would only be clear that there wasn’t something going on if they spoke with the door open.
Chen Xinyi leaned against the door and tightened her grip on the waistband. She lifted her eyes to look at the Master Shen she’d been pining after. She was instantly stunned, and her pretty eyes were filled with disbelief and utter shock.
