Chapter 692 I'm Looking for Wen Zhiyi
Wen Zhiyi belatedly realized that she really spoke faster than she thought. Wasn't he a freshman in the first year of college? Or did he recognize her as a freshman in the first year of college?
She scratched her head in frustration, and said with a hint of guilt, "What are you standing there for? Aren't you listening to your senior?"
Wan Qingzhou raised an eyebrow, her posture playful: "Please go first, senior."
"I'll leave if I want, but I'll go to the dean tomorrow and report you for violating school rules!" Wen Zhiyi continued to threaten, unwilling to give up.
Wan Qingzhou nodded and turned to the side: "Sure, please feel free to do as you please."
Wen Zhiyi: "?"
She steeled herself and took a few steps downstairs, then suddenly turned around and went back.
Not far away, Wan Qingzhou was leaning against a bookshelf, watching the returning dark figure with a leisurely expression: "Oh, why did you stop?"
Wen Zhiyi glared at her, her voice low and filled with clenched teeth as she questioned, "Did you do this on purpose?!"
Wan Qingzhou shrugged: "Junior sister, it's perfectly reasonable for the three senior brothers of my college to come to the library to read books. But you're acting suspiciously. Those people downstairs must be here to arrest you. Honestly, if you really want to read a book, just tell your senior brother and I'll bring it down for you. Why do you have to be a thief?"
Wen Zhiyi: "..."
She took a deep breath, too lazy to waste words with him, and turned to look around.
The group outside will soon be checking this floor. She had just clearly heard the voices of the gatekeeper, the head of the teaching department, and the teacher who looked after the library.
If she gets caught, she'll really lose all her credits this year!
When will she ever see these books?!
So the most urgent thing for her right now is to find a secluded place to hide and get through this ordeal first!
Unexpectedly, after she had only taken a few steps, the man behind her caught up with her.
She was taken aback at first, then turned to look at him with wide eyes: "Why are you following me?!"
Wan Qingzhou replied matter-of-factly, "If I don't follow you, do you expect me to just watch you run away?"
Wen Zhiyi was taken aback, then frowned: "Wait, there's something wrong with you. You're not a student of the Imperial Academy?! Who are you, then?"
If he was really afraid she would run away, he could have just shouted downstairs, why did he have to follow her? He looked even more guilty than she was!
"Guess?" Wan Qingzhou scoffed. "If you dare to shout, we're both finished. They'll be up here soon. Are you sure you want to continue discussing this with me?"
The footsteps outside grew closer and closer—
"Is this the only floor left?"
"Let's go, let's go take a look!"
Wen Zhiyi took a deep breath, turned around, and walked quickly towards the window.
Wan Qingzhou quickly followed closely.
After all, she's a student of the Imperial Academy, so she must know where to hide most safely. Following her is definitely the right thing to do.
Wen Zhiyi was exasperated by his constant following: "Can you please get away from me, you jinx!"
Wan Qingzhou clicked his tongue: "What if I get caught if I leave? We're in the same boat now. Think about it, if I get caught, do you think you can escape unscathed?"
Wen Zhiyi was so angry at Wan Qingzhou's behavior that she gritted her teeth: "You really have no shame!"
Wan Qingzhou calmly replied, "What does face matter as long as I can live safely?"
Wen Zhiyi: "..."
She couldn't be bothered with him anymore, so she turned around and quickly ran to a huge cabinet at the far end of the room.
He then deftly used a hairpin to pry open the lock on the cabinet door and crawled inside.
She moved quickly, clearly intending to lock Wan Qingzhou out. Wan Qingzhou knew exactly what she was thinking, so she quickly blocked the door and then turned around and followed her inside.
The cabinet door closed, and Wen Zhiyi subconsciously tried to push him away, but he grabbed her wrist and placed his other hand less than a centimeter from her lips: "Shh."
Wen Zhiyi dared not move.
Because she also heard the sounds outside getting closer and closer—
"Is it on this floor?"
"No, the oil lamp shone everywhere. Old Wang, are you sure you saw him go into the library?"
Even the gatekeeper, Old Wang, was a bit unsure: "I saw him coming this way. Could it be a trick? Did he feint at the gate and then go somewhere else?"
"Who knows, this might be the last floor. If it's not here, it's possible he came in and then went out again. Let's go, let's look around somewhere else."
Grandpa Wang nodded: "Alright, I can take my Big Black with me when I go out. He has a keen sense of smell. As long as he's still alive, he'll definitely be able to catch that arrogant brat who dared to trespass into the Imperial Academy!"
The group turned and left after saying that.
As the footsteps faded into the distance, Wen Zhiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, plopped down, and patted her chest, saying, "That scared me to death."
"I didn't see you being this cowardly when you were stealing the book," Wan Qingzhou teased.
He was fine when he didn't speak, but when he did, Wen Zhiyi remembered that there was someone else beside her.
The cabinet was pitch black, blocking out vision, making the other senses exceptionally sharp.
She could even feel the heat emanating from him.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly pushed him away, saying, "Everyone's gone, why aren't you leaving? Are you trying to take advantage of me?!"
Wan Qingzhou: "..."
He had no other intentions, but her words made him want to tease her.
With a lean, he instantly closed the distance between them.
Although Wen Zhiyi couldn't see, the man's aggressive aura was so strong that she immediately felt it and widened her eyes, exclaiming, "What are you doing!"
Wan Qingzhou chuckled, his warm breath brushing against her cheek: "If I really wanted to take advantage of you, it would be as easy as turning my hand. Why would I have waited until now?"
Wen Zhiyi raised her hand to hit him, but he stepped back first, and she heard him exclaim, "So rude."
Wen Zhiyi: "..."
She felt she should make him understand what rudeness truly meant.
The cabinet door opened, and Wan Qingzhou went out first.
The space that was meant for two people was now just for one. Wen Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief for no apparent reason. She patted her still flushed face and quickly crawled out of the closet.
She straightened her clothes and snorted, "Don't let me see you again!"
After saying that, she turned to leave, but Wan Qingzhou stopped her: "Wait."
Wen Zhiyi turned her head and glared at him: "What are you doing now? Let me tell you, you jinx, if you provoke me again, I'll risk hurting myself as well as the enemy, but I'll hand you over to the teacher!"
Wan Qingzhou said helplessly, "Whether it's that serious or not, I just want to ask you about someone."
"who?"
"Do you know Wen Zhiyi?"
Wen Zhiyi: "?"
She looked at him suspiciously: "Are you looking for Wen Zhiyi?"
Wan Qingzhou didn't find anything wrong at all and said naturally, "Yes, she's also a freshman in the college. You should know her, right? Where is she?"
"I don't know you, why should I tell you where she is? What if you're a bad guy? Wouldn't that harm my classmate?" Wen Zhiyi probed calmly.
Wan Qingzhou made up a story: "Little sister, you're overthinking it. I'm Wen Zhihan, her twin brother. Do you think I would harm her?"
Wen Zhiyi: "???"
She almost laughed in anger: "Who do you think you are?"
