Chapter 62: Lure the Snake Out of the Hole Plan 2

When Yan Yue heard Cui Hengyu ask this, his eyes lit up. Oh, did he finally discover something?

It was worth the effort to find the photo with the same hairpin and pretend not to hesitate to reveal it to Choi Hang-woo.

Speaking of which, I have to thank Xiaotuanzi, because after hearing Ji Yimu say that Ye Chenxu wore women's clothes when he was a child, she insisted on seeing what Ye Chenxu looked like at that time. Ye Chenxu couldn't bear it, so he had to find out all the photos of that period that had long been gathered dust in the corner.

It was also when they were looking through the photos that they accidentally discovered that the small hairpin on Ye Chenxu's head in a photo was very similar to the hairpin Cui Hengyu had hidden.

Combined with the task prompts, we can roughly guess the situation at that time.

I have to say that their reasoning ability is quite impressive, and this has now been proven.

The gears of fate begin to turn, and the ultimate goal is to set things right.

Ye Chenxu didn't know why Cui Hengyu was bothering with this matter. It had been such a long time, and he didn't know why he brought it up again now.

Cui Hengyu was waiting for Ye Chenxu's answer, but Tang Lin became anxious.

"Who can remember something that happened when they were ten years old so clearly? Brother Cui, aren't you making things difficult for Chenxu?"

Tang Lin held Cui Hengyu affectionately, looking very considerate.

"Yes or no?"

Cui Hengyu ignored Tang Lin, he just wanted Ye Chenxu's answer.

"My wife didn't want to answer, so I drank it for her."

Little Tuanzi picked up the wine glass and wanted to help Ye Chenxu take the punishment.

Ye Chenxu pressed down the wine glass that was about to reach his mouth with one hand, "Yes."

There is nothing wrong with the answer.

It's not something shameful.

"So you saved me then? Is that right?"

Cui Hengyu stood up excitedly. He already had the answer in his mind, but he was still shocked when he heard it.

There is also a sense of grievance that is difficult to explain.

"Don't you know?"

Isn't this something everyone knows?

"I don't know. I don't know anything."

Cui Hengyu retorted loudly, trying to shout out all the grievances in his heart.

"But... haven't you seen my hairpin?"

But he had clearly seen the hairpin that Cui Hengyu treasured. Wasn't that his own hairpin?

Ye Chenxu didn't know what to say. He had always thought that Cui Hengyu knew about this, so he never mentioned it. He also never thought about asking him to be grateful to him, so there was no point in saying it out loud.

"I was wrong. I was wrong."

Cui Hengyu's voice was hoarse. He was wrong, really wrong.

He recognized the wrong person.

Yes, he had clearly seen that hairpin on Ye Chenxu's head. Why, why did he believe Tang Lin's lame lie at that time?

Bewitched

"It's been so long since the incident happened," he said. "What's the point of dwelling on it? Fortunately, no one was injured and there are no sequelae. That's good."

What else can I do? Do I have to repay the favor of saving my life with my own body?

He didn't dare to do that, as there was such a jealous person next to him and his waist was hurting.

"We are all friends, and we should help each other."

Ye Chenxu already felt the force on his waist, and with a strong desire to survive, he distanced himself from the matter.

There must not be anything unclear at this time.

“…”

He can't get over it. If he could get over it, he wouldn't be so sad.

Cui Hengyu turned and left. Now he couldn't face Ye Chenxu, the Ye Chenxu whose eyes and heart were full of other people.

Ye Chenxu like that hurt his eyes and heart.

Tang Lin followed him out. The only person worthy of her now was Cui Hengyu, and she couldn't give up.

Even if Cui Hengyu minds it, he can't give up his feelings for her just because of such a small lie, right?

Anyway, Tang Lin firmly believed that Cui Hengyu had deep feelings for her.

The two of them left, and the others looked at each other and didn't dare to follow them.

Because of this little episode, we ended the game hastily and played some other games.

The atmosphere didn't become dull because of the departure of these two people.

The people who come and go during this period always use this or that reason to do their own things.

Yan Yue and the others didn't care. They knew what they were going for, so they just had to keep their eyes on the target. As for the person who was plotting against them, he would naturally be exposed.

And from their current position in the living room, they could vaguely see Mu Lin's door.

As long as someone approaches, they will definitely notice it at the first moment.

Unfortunately, there was no movement until everyone returned to their rooms, which made the four of them admire the man's vigilance.

Now that everyone had left, they couldn't just sit in the living room any longer, which would only alert the enemy. They thought they had to find other ways.

Everyone went back to their rooms.

…

"Brother, why are you here?"

When Yan Yue opened the door, he saw Mu Lin standing at the door.

I was glad that I was thinking about something and refused Ji Yimu's invitation to bathe with me.

Isn't it that their relationship will be discovered by their senior brothers?

I feel embarrassed just thinking about it.

"I want to talk to you about our future plans."

Even when he went out to relax, Mu Lin couldn't help but think about his research, especially the new direction that Ji Yimu had mentioned recently. As soon as he came up with a new idea, he couldn't delay for a moment and wanted to discuss it with Ji Yimu.

He just came to my door without caring about the time.

"Oh, Ammu is taking a shower. Let's go over after he finishes."

Yan Yue thought that this was going to be a long talk all night long. With this person here, there would be no chance for others to participate.

It's such a pity that the stage that we built with great difficulty is gone just like that.

Why,

But what can I do? I'll have to wait for next time.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

After saying this, Mu Lin went straight back to his room. Thinking that Yan Yue and the others would come over soon, he did not lock the door and just let them come in directly.

I sorted out the documents in the briefcase again and put them back, thinking that I wouldn't need them today.

After calculating the time, I took my clothes and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Yan Yue and the others arrived very quickly, and Mu Lin asked them to wait for him in the room for a while.

Yan Yue slapped Ji Yimu's restless hand away and led him to sit on the sofa.

There was at least a person's distance between them, but in Ji Yimu's eyes, this could be considered a foreign place, and he was unwilling to feel awkward.

In someone else's room, Yan Yue was not used to him, so he asked him to sit down and promised to follow him after returning before comforting him.

Before I could even get comfortable on the sofa, I heard a gentle knock on the door. If I didn't listen carefully, I wouldn't be able to hear it.

The two looked at each other and saw expectation in each other's eyes.

【wardrobe.】

Yan Yue used his consciousness to communicate with Ji Yimu.

Ji Yimu directly pulled Yan Yue into the closet and responded with action.

Don't forget to leave a small gap.

【Brother, who do you think it is? 】

Even his tone is full of anticipation. Is it finally time to seize the moment?

[Let's take a look first. Who knows, maybe he just came to see me for something. 】

Ji Yimu didn't want Yan Yue to be too disappointed.

【Okay, let’s take a look first. 】

Yan Yue also felt that what Ji Yimu said was possible.

So when Zhou Ning came in, he only heard the sound of running water in the bathroom and didn't see anyone else.

Thinking that Mu Lin was probably taking a shower, it was no wonder that no one answered when I knocked on the door just now.

Fortunately, I turned the doorknob despite giving up, otherwise she would have just left and I would have regretted it to death.

[Zhou Ning? Is it her? ]

Yan Yue saw the person coming in through the gap, and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

【See what she wants to do? 】

Compared to Yan Yue, Ji Yimu is much calmer.

Zhou Ning glanced in the direction of the bathroom, made up his mind, went straight to the desk, opened the briefcase and searched.

But the data I got out were not what I wanted.

You clearly said that you had to bring all the complete information?

Why can’t I find it?

Could it be placed somewhere else?

Zhou Ning walked around the room again, but still couldn't find any information. Not to mention a thick stack of documents, he didn't even see a single piece of paper.

[It's really her. ]

Among the few people, Yan Yue always felt that she was the least suspicious. At least the other two were more suspicious than her in every aspect.

[Should we go out and catch them now? ]

Yan Yue asked.

[It's useless. Even if we leave now, she can just say that she came in to see her senior brother for something and won't admit it at all.]

What should I do?

[She didn't find what she wanted, but she didn't leave. Does she have other plans? ]

【Let's see what she's going to do first? 】

We can only wait and see.

Zhou Ning sat down on the bed in frustration, right next to the shirt that Mu Lin had casually dropped.

Yan Yue and the others just stared at Zhou Ning, looking at her, not knowing what she was thinking, holding Mu Lin's shirt against her face in an ambiguous way,

The expression on his face made Yan Yue, who was peeking at him, feel a chill all over his body.

[Fuck, this guy must have a serious brain disease. ]

Yan Yue said that he couldn't stand it, it was too damn sentimental.

Ji Yimu held Yan Yue tighter, as if he had seen something dirty, and hugged Yan Yue to cleanse his soul.

"Zhou Ning, why are you here?" Mu Lin was wrapped in a bath towel.

After I finished washing, I realized that I didn’t bring any spare clothes. I thought there were two children in the room and it was not easy to ask for help, so I just went out wrapped in a bath towel.

But the scene he saw when he came out made him subconsciously grab the bath towel tightly, as if he was being violated.

"What are you doing?"

If I'm not mistaken, the dress in her hand is the one she is wearing today.

This time the feeling of being violated is even worse.

Sitting on his own bed, doing that to his own clothes, he is self-disciplined, not ignorant. How could he not understand the relationship between men and women?

So what do his students think of him?

Mu Lin confirmed this idea.

But in his heart, students are students, they are his juniors, just a generation behind him.

Even if he wanted to find a partner, it would never be his student. Moreover, he was only thinking about his studies now, and love affairs were not in his consideration.

Maybe I haven't met the right person, or maybe the time is not right.

You can say he is old-fashioned or conservative in his thinking, but this is a hurdle for him that he doesn't want to cross, and he won't get over.

"How did you get into my room?"

Mu Lin didn't pay any attention to the two people who were in Yan Yue's room before and were now nowhere to be seen.

The moment Mu Lin saw her, Zhou Ning knew that she had no way out.

She knew Mu Lin very well. Even if she apologized now and left quietly, Mu Lin would only become more and more distant from her and would never care about her again. He would not take her with him in any research and would marginalize her. He would not give her more resources either. The relationship between teacher and student would probably be gone.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ning knew that she could never turn back.

"If you have nothing else, go back first."

Mu Lin didn't know what Zhou Ning had been thinking in such a short time. Now he had to chase the person away first. He didn't know how to face this student whom he had high hopes for.

Even though Zhou Ning did such a thing, Mu Lin never thought of saying bad things to her.

There's nothing wrong with liking someone, but if you don't like her, she will make it very clear to him. At worst, you can just avoid her in the future.

"Teacher, I really like you. What about you? Do you really not like me?"

Zhou Ning stood up and walked towards Mu Lin, taking off his clothes as he walked.

Mu Lin stepped back subconsciously, as if the person in front of him was some kind of ferocious beast.

"I think I'm pretty and have a good figure. We speak the same language and have the same hobbies. Do you really not like me?"

Every time Zhou Ning took a step forward, Mu Lin took a step back, until they were pressed to the wall, Zhou Ning was left with only his underwear.

[Aww, is this something we can watch? ]

Yan Yue was screaming in his heart, is this a scene that an ordinary member like him can see?

It's quite exciting.

Ji Yimu's first reaction was to cover Yan Yue's eyes, but he was a step too late and some of the images still entered his eyes.

[Brother, why are you covering my eyes? I can’t see.]

Yan Yue tried to pull Ji Yimu's hands away from his eyes, but they never came down.

He didn't really want to see it, he was just curious about what would happen next.

Would his senior brother agree to it reluctantly?

Even though he knew it was impossible, it didn't stop him from using his imagination.

There are two people outside the door waiting for his live broadcast.

[If you want to see it, come back later and I’ll let you see enough. ]

The words were full of threats, Yan Yue understood it very well and did not dare to fight.

The little dumpling over there called out to him several times with his consciousness, but he ignored it.

Mu Lin looked at Zhou Ning in horror as he reached out to take off his underwear. He pushed him away and covered him with the quilt.

It's not that he's afraid that she'll catch a cold, it's that this person is blinding himself.

"Zhou Ning..."

"Zhou Ning, I'm giving you a chance now. Put on your clothes and leave. I'll pretend that nothing happened today."

This was the last face and chance he left for her.

He has given the opportunity, and what will happen depends entirely on Zhou Ning's choice.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, he really didn't want to ruin anyone's future, especially his most promising student.

But after this incident, the teacher-student relationship between them was gone. What would happen to Zhou Ning in the future had nothing to do with him, and she was no longer someone he cared for.

From now on they are just strangers.

Even if Mu Lin didn't say it, Zhou Ning knew what he was thinking. It was because she knew it that she wanted to give it a try. What if, what if he succeeded?

Such thoughts kept lingering in her mind.

Zhou Ning couldn't accept failure. Without the relationship with Mu Lin, she, who had nothing, would be nothing in this industry.
