"Why are you here?" Xie Sixian asked in confusion. He had not slept yet and was waiting for something to happen.

Who knew that the person coming was An Meng!

An Meng was like a thief, and her hand didn't even leave the door handle.

"Haha," she said, her face filled with embarrassment. She quickly pulled her hand back and rubbed it on her pajamas. "Well, I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so I thought I'd come to your study to find a book. It might be very soporific."

[I'm so scared! Why is Xie Sixian still not sleeping at this hour?]

【It wasn't Li Xiaolei who came? 】

[Ahhh, I just wanted to check if Xie Sixian remembered to lock the study door! Plan failed!]

Xie Sixian breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "So that's how it is. Are you suffering from insomnia?"

An Meng nodded confidently.

"If I hadn't wanted to go to the bathroom, you would have had a wasted trip tonight." Xie Sixian took out the key from his pajama pocket, "The door is locked."

An Meng was very pleased that Xie Sixian carried the key with him.

"Just lock it up, just lock it up! I'm very vigilant."

Xie Sixian let her in: "Please pick any one."

An Meng looked around the study in shock. The four walls were covered with bookshelves reaching up to the ceiling, and the bookshelves were densely packed with various monographs.

"Well, any book should be quite hypnotic. You are really amazing, brother." She murmured and picked up a book as thick as a brick.

Xie Sixian was amused: "Just watch for a while and then go to bed early."

"Oh, okay." An Meng's eyes swept across the laptop on the desk and walked out of the study. "Thank you, big brother."

Watching her walk downstairs with the books, Xie Sixian locked the study door and returned to the bedroom.

The third floor corridor returned to darkness.

A few minutes later, a door opened gently, and someone slipped out quietly and walked towards the study.

After a few rustling sounds, the man grasped the door handle, pushed open the study door and slipped in.

A dreamless night and breakfast the next day.

"Thank you for letting me stay for one night. I'll be back today. I won't bother you any more."

Li Xiaolei said this at the dinner table.

Four pairs of eyes looked over at once. Li Xiaolei's fingertips trembled. She thought, there shouldn't be any problem.

Xie Zijie, still half asleep, was the first to ask, "Is the water pipe fixed?"

"It's fixed. The master worked very quickly." Li Xiaolei replied with an unchanged smile on her delicately made-up face.

"Okay," Xie Sixian said without trying to persuade her to stay. "I need to go back to school soon. Can I drive you?"

Li Xiaolei refused: "No, I'll take a taxi back later."

An Meng sat quietly, chewing the meat bun without any taste, but she felt in her heart that this matter would not end so easily.

She swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "Brother, can I visit your school?"

"I haven't even been to such a top university like University A."

Xie Sixian was stunned at first, then nodded: "Okay, then follow me to the car later."

Xie Yun looked at An Meng expressionlessly and said, "I'll go too."

"Ayun, what are you getting involved in..." Xie Sixian said with a smile, but when Xie Zijie blinked too hard, he quickly changed his words, "...Come on, come on, everyone."

He really doesn't understand young people's affairs!

An Mengxin nodded reluctantly, with two faint dark spots under her eyes.

In order to avoid embarrassment, she slept in the guest room for these two nights and never stepped into Xie Yun's bedroom again.

Not having to face Xie Yun made her feel a little relieved, but strangely, perhaps because there was no one breathing beside her, she tossed and turned and had trouble falling asleep!

Xie Yun's eyes quickly swept across An Meng's slightly pale face without saying anything.

The three of them arrived at University A, and as expected, An Meng's bad premonition soon came true.

As soon as Xie Sixian arrived at the office, he was quickly immersed in work.

An Meng and Xie Yun strolled around the campus of A University without saying a word. Not long after, they returned to Xie Sixian's office in an awkward manner.

Xie Yun was making a phone call outside in the corridor, while An Meng was sitting on a chair in the office, staring at the floor tiles in a daze with a rogue look on her face.

A few minutes later, there were several knocks on the office door. A girl pushed the door open and called out hurriedly, "Teacher!"

She wore glasses, had long black hair, and was holding a few books in her hands.

Noticing An Meng standing beside her, Shu Ying couldn't help but look at her twice more, then quickly turned to look at Xie Sixian, gasping for breath and unable to speak.

"Shu Ying?" Xie Sixian looked at his doctoral student. "What's wrong? Why are you running like this?"

Shu Ying took a deep breath, swallowed, and hesitated, "They said... that you leaked the project data."

"I was doing an experiment in the lab," she whispered, "and then someone from the administration seemed to come over. I heard what they said sounded like this, so I hurried over."

"Teacher, what should I do? I guess they will come to talk to you soon."

[No wonder Li Xiaolei said the water pipe was fixed today. It turns out she got the data.]

[Isn't the study door locked? Could it be...?]

Xie Sixian's glasses gleamed in the light, and he closed his notebook with trembling fingers. "Come on, if you are upright, you have nothing to fear."

Shu Ying nodded hesitantly: "Teacher, I believe you. You are not that kind of person and would not do such a thing. I..."

She looked hesitant and wanted to say something, but after a few seconds she didn't say anything.

Xie Sixian looked at her with a little surprise: "Thank you."

An Meng looked at Shu Ying's quiet and bookish face, and her story emerged in her mind.
