Chapter 30 The Lock-Picking Prince

After realizing that Su Yueming had "fallen in love" with him, Wang Yan became radiant.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Wang Yan wondered, "Perhaps this is the magic of love?"

As he emerged from the bathroom, Su Yueming was sitting on the edge of the bed, his eyes, covered by an eye patch, fixed on his direction.

Even after confirming that Su Yueming had fallen in love with him, Wang Yan had no intention of removing his blindfold.

He didn't want Su Yueming to see his imperfections.

For Wang Yan, his appearance was the most imperfect part of his life.

Are you going to work?

Su Yueming can now discern Wang Yan's behavior by sound.

"OK."

Upon hearing the definite answer, a look of disappointment instantly appeared on Su Yueming's face.

"Can't you stay and keep me company?" Su Yueming thought for a moment and added, "It's so boring being home alone."

"I'll be back at noon."

What Wang Yan said is true; he was only gone for four and a half hours.

Su Yueming licked his lips unwillingly, and then pressed his advantage, saying, "Then kiss me before you leave."

He didn't think Wang Yan would agree, but how could he be sure there wouldn't be any surprises once he said it?

As it turned out, Su Yueming's gamble paid off.

When Wang Yan's soft lips touched his cheek, Su Yueming was nothing but shocked.

His blindfolded eyes widened slightly, and his mind went completely blank.

"Okay, I'm going to work now."

As the soft touch left, the bedroom door closed, and Su Yueming excitedly rolled around on the bed.

He forced himself to calm down. Although he didn't know why Wang Yan would agree to kiss him, it was definitely a good sign.

Does this mean that Wang Yan has also fallen for him?

This realization made Su Yueming overjoyed.

Just then, the cell phone inside the drawer rang; it was Su Yueming's phone.

Su Yueming fumbled to open the drawer and took out his phone, answering the call based on his intuition.

Ever since Wang Yan changed his blindfold, he has been unable to groom himself.

There was no way to peek at Wang Yan through the gap, which frustrated Su Yueming.

So he took the initiative to contact Jiang Xiao and asked Jiang Xiao to think of a solution for him.

"Hello."

Su Yueming cut straight to the point on the other end of the phone, "How did it go?"

"That kind of thing can't be unlocked by yourself; you can only get the other party to unlock it for you, or you might have to call a locksmith."

Su Yueming fell silent; Wang Yan would absolutely not take the initiative to untie him.

Only the second option can be adopted.

"Hey, Yueming, are you still there?"

Jiang Xiao pressed for answers on the other end of the phone.

"You brought your master with you, right?"

He desperately wanted to see Wang Yan, to see the emotions on his face, to see the smile on his lips.

Su Yueming ultimately chose the second option.

"ah?"

Jiang Xiao was utterly shocked; he had thought Su Yueming was simply curious.

Jiang Xiao quickly realized what was going on, her voice filled with undisguised admiration, "I never expected you to be so cunning."

"What are you thinking about?" Su Yueming interrupted Jiang Xiao's daydreams. "I'll send you the location, and then you can bring the locksmith over. Since I can't open the door for you, you can just have a locksmith pick the lock."

"Huh? You're not home?"

Jiang Xiao was taken aback once again.

"No, I'm staying at my boyfriend's house right now."

After saying that, Su Yueming hung up the phone.

Jiang Xiao, who was on the other end of the phone, was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

Su Yueming has many friends, but of all these people, he only trusts Jiang Xiao.

He and Jiang Xiao have known each other since childhood, understand each other well, and know each other inside and out. In the blink of an eye, they have known each other for more than ten years.

Jiang Xiao, who was holed up at home, looked at the location Su Yueming sent him and felt for a moment as if he were dreaming.

Is Su Yueming, the "Millennial Iron Tree," in a relationship?

And with a man?

In Jiang Xiao's memory, Su Yueming only had one relationship in college, and it only lasted for three months.

Nothing happened in the first three months; they barely even met.

Jiang Xiao was puzzled at the time, not understanding what kind of relationship Su Yueming was in.

Is this some kind of Platonic love story?

When he asked the question in a joking manner, Su Yueming only replied that he didn't understand.

Jiang Xiao really didn't understand.

He looked into Su Yueming's lonely eyes under the dim light; it was the first time he had ever seen Su Yueming so dejected.

After sobering up the next day, Su Yueming returned to his usual self, as if that day was Jiang Xiao's illusion.

And now Su Yueming is in a relationship again.

She even went to stay at her boyfriend's house?

This is absolutely dramatic.

Despite her doubts, Jiang Xiao still carried out Su Yueming's orders.

He led the locksmith to the location on his phone, drove out of the city center, and visibly got closer and closer to the suburbs.

When the car stopped at the entrance of the residential area, Jiang Xiao felt that she had gone to the wrong place.

The garden outside the residential area is overgrown with weeds, there are no security guards at the entrance, and peeling paint has become a standard feature of the buildings.

Jiang Xiao's Porsche looks completely out of place here.

Am I really not dreaming?

Looking at the old and dilapidated neighborhood, Jiang Xiao asked a genuine question.

In comparison, the locksmith was relatively calm.

Jiang spent a great deal of effort to find Su Yueming's location.

As you slowly walk up the stairs, you see all sorts of small advertisements plastered on the walls, and dust floating everywhere in the air.

Jiang Xiao frowned deeply, her disgust almost overflowing.

If Su Yueming hadn't sent him here, he would never have set foot in a place like this in his entire life.

Finally arriving at the fifth floor, Jiang Xiao stopped in her tracks.

Jiang Xiaochao gestured to the locksmith, "Don't damage the lock cylinder, you won't be shortchanged."

Don't worry.

The locksmith said to him confidently.

Su Yueming immediately heard the rustling sounds outside the door.

He knew it was Jiang Xiao who had arrived.

In less than two minutes, the locksmith proved his skills by opening the door.

Jiang Xiao walked in without hesitation, her eyes scanning the entire room from head to toe.

Unlike the dirty and messy environment outside, the living room was clean and tidy, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance of flowers floating in the air.

Looking around but not seeing Su Yueming, he could only be in the bedroom.

"Su Yueming".

Jiang Xiao pushed open the bedroom door and finally found Su Yueming there.

"Keep your voice down."

Su Yueming turned his head to remind Jiang Xiao as she walked in.

Jiang Xiao didn't say anything, because he was completely stunned.

In the dimly lit room, Su Yueming sat half-upright on the large bed, wearing an eye patch and chained to his ankles.

Is this still the Su Yueming he knows?

"You, why are you dressed like this...?"

"Stop talking nonsense and let the locksmith in."

Su Yueming's words were concise and to the point.

"Oh, right, right."

Jiang Xiao hurriedly called the locksmith in.

"I don't need to take off the blindfold, but I hope it won't obstruct my vision," Su Yueming stated his request. "Is that possible?"

"certainly."

His nickname, "The Lock-Picking Prince," is well-deserved.
