Extra Chapter: Xie Qingtang: Need Help?

The reason for selling the house, of course, is because...

Zhang Qin snapped out of her daze and calmly said, "If you don't want to live here anymore, then sell it."

Hsieh Ching-tang: "Because of me?"

Zhang Qin was taken aback by his blunt question and was momentarily speechless.

If it were anyone else, she would have retorted, "Who do you think you are? Stop trying to impress yourself." But this man in front of her...

Zhang Qin admitted that she was weak; after all these years, she still couldn't bring herself to be ruthless towards this man.

They couldn't even bring themselves to say a harsh word.

Zhang Qin paused, gritted her teeth secretly, leaned forward, and asked with a smile, "So concerned about me?"

She remembered that Xie Qingtang used to be most afraid of her roguish behavior and dreaded her getting close. For a while, he would turn and walk away whenever he saw her. Although she didn't know why he suddenly took the initiative to find her, she didn't want to know now; she wanted to scare him away first.

only……

Xie Qingtang didn't dodge!

As they drew closer, the man's unique fragrance wafted over, and Zhang Qin was instantly overcome with desire, as if it were an instinct.

Seeing Xie Qingtang's aloof and ethereal appearance, all sorts of wicked thoughts uncontrollably surfaced in her mind. She wanted to take off his glasses, tear his neat shirt and trousers, shatter the calmness in his eyes, force out the lust hidden deep within his soul, and watch him go mad...

Xie Qingtang said calmly, "If it's because of me, there's no need for that."

"..."

Zhang Qin's mind was instantly cleared of all lewd thoughts.

Hsieh Ching-tang continued, "I can move out."

Zhang Qin's face turned pale. After a moment of silence, she stepped back and distanced herself from Xie Qingtang.

Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly heard a "bang".

Zhang Qin suddenly turned around.

Her door was blown shut by the wind.

"Damn it!" Zhang Qin screamed and turned to rush towards the door.

She didn't bring her keys, nor did she take out her phone. The dress she was wearing didn't even have pockets, and she was wearing slippers.

Help!

Zhang Qin frantically scratched at the door, when a soft laugh came from behind her.

Zhang Qin screamed in despair, "What are you laughing at?!"

Xie Qingtang smiled, standing tall and refined, "Do you need any help?"

Zhang Qin: "..."

She always felt that this man had ill intentions.

But right now, she really needs his help.

Zhang Qin held out her hand, "Can I borrow your phone?"

"Inside the house." Xie Qingtang turned around. "Come in and get it yourself."

Zhang Qin: "...Take it out and give it to me."

Xie Qingtang ignored her and went straight into the house.

Zhang Qin was left standing alone in the corridor. After hesitating and fidgeting for a long time, she gritted her teeth and followed him inside.

So what if she goes in? Even Professor Xie, with his noble character, isn't afraid. What does a lewd woman like her have to be afraid of?

It's still uncertain who will suffer the loss.

The layouts of the two houses were similar, but Xie Qingtang's house was much simpler than Zhang Qin's. There were no fancy decorations or furnishings, and the whole house felt as clean and refreshing as its owner.

Zhang Qin held out her hand, "My phone."

Xie Qingtang pointed towards the coffee table.

Zhang Qin walked over and picked up her phone from the coffee table. "...Password."

Xie Qingtang walked to the sofa and sat down. "Six ones."

What a stupid password.

Zhang Qin couldn't help but glance at him.

His phone was a very private thing, and he not only let her see it, but also told her the password.

Zhang Qin: "What's the apartment building management number?"

Xie Qingtang walked to the sofa and sat down. "Contacts. Property Management."

"..." Does that mean she has to find it herself?

Going through his contacts isn't really a good idea.

Zhang Qin glanced at Xie Qingtang again and saw him holding a water glass and drinking water with his head down, seemingly not minding her looking through his phone.

Zhang Qin pursed her lips, thinking to herself, "Fine, you're the one who made me see this, so I won't be polite."

After Zhang Qin finished her call with the property management, she returned the phone to Xie Qingtang and said, "Thanks."

Xie Qingtang nodded slightly.

It would take some time for the locksmith to arrive, and Zhang Qin, who had originally intended to go out, suddenly decided not to leave after seeing his expression.

Like I said, if he's not afraid, why should she be?

At least there's a place to sit here; once you go outside, you'll only be able to sit on the hallway floor.

Zhang Qin walked over to a single sofa and sat down, asking casually, "Speaking of which, how come you're still single after all these years? You don't really dislike humans, do you?"

Xie Qingtang put down her water glass and slightly adjusted her glasses. "What do you think?"
