Finally, after a harrowing struggle, Bai Ye managed to escape from Ye Qingcheng's clutches.
Bai Ye originally planned to go straight home, get some rest, and calm down.
However, as he stepped into the descending elevator, his phone suddenly vibrated.
He opened his phone and found several messages from Xia Qingyue.
Xia Qingyue's first message was simple: "Where are you?"
Bai Ye quickly replied, "I just came back from outside, I'm in the elevator."
Immediately after, Xia Qingyue sent a second message: "When are you coming back?"
Bai Ye thought for a moment and replied, "Probably in another ten minutes or so."
However, Xia Qingyue's next message caused Bai Ye's mind to freeze for a moment.
Xia Qingyue said, "Come to my room tonight, and go to the pharmacy."
Upon seeing this message, Bai Ye immediately recalled the scene from last night, and his face flushed red, as if it could bleed.
"Sleep in my room tonight?" Bai Ye wondered to himself, "What does this mean? Could it be that Sister Qingyue..."
His thoughts began to wander uncontrollably, and all sorts of speculations flooded his mind.
"Another trip to the pharmacy? Is Sister Qingyue sick?" Bai Ye was a little worried. "That's not right. If she's just sick, why would she need to go to the pharmacy?"
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Bai Ye's mind, and his face turned even redder.
"Could it be... that 'sleeping' and 'pharmacy' refer to that thing?"
Bai Ye's heart started racing, and he felt his breathing quicken.
Bai Ye pondered the meaning behind Qingyue's words in his heart. Suddenly, as if he had just realized something, he understood the deeper meaning behind them.
His hands trembled slightly involuntarily. This was the first time in his life he had faced such a situation—going to a pharmacy to buy that special item.
This unprecedented experience made Bai Ye feel a sense of unfamiliarity and tension, and he couldn't help but think of his social anxiety disorder that had not flared up for a long time.
After all, buying that thing can be quite embarrassing, especially in public.
Bai Ye was very nervous, afraid that others would look at him strangely when he paid.
Although he knew that for the pharmacy staff, this was just a normal transaction and they wouldn't care much about it.
However, Bai Ye just couldn't control her thoughts and couldn't help but imagine those awkward scenarios that might occur.
To prevent this from happening, Baiye decided to take some measures.
He quickly opened the map app on his phone and searched for the location of nearby unmanned adult product stores.
After some searching, he found that there was indeed such a shop not far away.
However, the pharmacy is obviously closer, right at the entrance of the residential area.
Bai Ye hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to walk a little further to the unmanned adult products store.
...
On the elevator home, Bai Ye's thoughts drifted away like a kite with a broken string, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Just now, he unexpectedly bumped into an older man in the store.
After the middle-aged man finished buying his item from the vending machine, his gaze fell on Bai Ye, who was struggling to make a decision at the door.
The uncle's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, as if he could see through Bai Ye's thoughts.
However, the next moment, the uncle turned and left as if nothing had happened, leaving Bai Ye standing alone, feeling an indescribable embarrassment.
"Young people these days are so reserved, what's there to be embarrassed about?"
The old man's parting words kept echoing in Bai Ye's mind, making him feel increasingly uneasy.
Just thinking about the uncle's meaningful gaze made Bai Ye feel as if a million ants were crawling all over her body, making her unbearably itchy.
Just then, the elevator rang and arrived at the floor where Bai Ye lived.
Bai Ye stood outside the elevator door, hesitated for a moment, reached out to open the door, but then pulled back as if she had been electrocuted.
He hesitated for a while, but finally decided to sniff himself.
Upon taking that sniff, Bai Ye was shocked to discover several fragrances that didn't belong to him, a grown man. The combination of these scents instantly made him realize the gravity of the situation.
"What should I do?" Bai Ye thought to himself, feeling utterly miserable.
He was worried that Qingyue might misunderstand after smelling these fragrances, and he would probably have difficulty explaining it to her.
The thought of Qingyue's possible reaction made Bai Ye's heart race involuntarily, as if the next moment would be the instant of his death.
However, the silence was shattered the next moment when the phone suddenly rang urgently.
Bai Ye's heart skipped a beat. He looked closely and saw that the caller ID on the screen was Xia Qingyue!
A sense of panic welled up in Bai Ye's heart. He frantically tried to pull out his phone to answer the call as soon as possible so that the annoying ringing would stop.
However, just as he reached for his phone, the door creaked open.
Bai Ye's movements suddenly froze, and his gaze fell directly on Xia Qingyue, who was standing at the door.
For a moment, he was at a loss, unsure whether he should answer the call.
He stood there awkwardly, as if frozen in place, the phone in his hand seeming to weigh a ton.
Xia Qingyue stood at the door, her eyebrows slightly raised, looking at Bai Ye with a half-smile.
Her arms were crossed over her chest, and she exuded a faint sense of authority.
"You're already at the door, why aren't you coming in? What are you doing standing there?" Xia Qingyue's voice was clear and slightly teasing.
Bai Ye snapped out of his daze, scratching his head awkwardly and stammering, "Ha, I just got back too, and I was just about to open the door to go in. Sister Qingyue, you opened the door at just the right time."
Xia Qingyue's smile did not disappear because of Bai Ye's explanation. She still stared at Bai Ye with a smile, as if she could see through his inner panic.
In fact, Xia Qingyue already knew that Bai Ye had been lingering at the door for a long time without coming in.
Because she installed surveillance cameras in the hallway, and the recordings can be viewed on her phone at any time.
So when she saw Bai Ye hesitating at the door, she deliberately dialed his number and then quickly pushed open the door to see how he would react.
...
There's a big problem. Tomato is doing something wrong. Chapters that were approved before are now being reviewed again and rejected. In other words, many of the previous chapters are now failing the review.
The platform has stopped recommending it altogether, (?_?|||) It's really difficult to do; there's no way to change it now.
I don't know what to do now, it seems like this is the end of the story.
Moreover, the author is now in the second semester of his sophomore year and should be thinking about what to do in the future. The book's performance is just so-so, earning only one or two yuan a day. It's definitely impossible for him to write it as a profession.
I'll be starting my internship in my junior year, so I probably won't have a chance to write anymore.
After that, I'll write about a dozen chapters about our happy future life as a conclusion.
Thank you to all the readers for your continued support (see comments).
