178 Call the Police!

Xia Chun smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Hubby. I’ll do my job properly. Besides, I doubt either of them is capable; they seem to hop from job to job quite frequently.”

A smile dripping with contempt crept onto Jiang Lun’s face as he thought of the Shen couple Jiang Xue had mentioned. One was a gambling addict, and the other a drunkard. It seemed there was nothing to worry about.

With her husband’s support, Xia Chun was even more confident of her success.

Meanwhile, Shen Xi had just finished washing up and was on her way to the observation room.

Zheng Huai noticed Shen Xi’s arrival, heading straight for Observation Room 201. There was no one at the door to stop him, so he followed her in. “Shen Xi, wait- ” he called.

Before Zheng Huai could finish, a hand clamped over his mouth as he felt someone leading him out of the room.

Shen Xi thought she heard a voice and paused, looking back. No one was around. She brushed it off as her imagination playing tricks on her.

Zheng Huai struggled with all his might, but it was futile. He was like a chicken caught by the neck, hauled away for slaughter.

“This is restricted s.p.a.ce. Outsiders may not enter. My apologies,” The guard said politely.

“Hey, you guys…” Zheng Huai tried explaining himself but was only met with indifference. Knowing a lost cause when he saw one, he wisely chose not to waste his breath.

The guards were clearly under instructions from someone else and would not listen to anything he had to say. It seemed he would need to think of another way to follow Shen Xi.

The infirmary was located on the first floor. Opposite it was the archives, leading up to the library on the second floor. People seldom visited the archives. Perhaps he would be able to see what was going on in Observation Room 201 from there.

Zheng Huai hurriedly phoned the princ.i.p.al, and soon, the manager of the school archives appeared with a key, handing it to Zheng Huai, who anxiously fiddled with the lock, entering the room.

Once inside, he rushed to the window facing Observation Room 201. Thankfully, he had his trusty binoculars on hand.

A translucent curtain prevented him from having a clear line of sight. All he could make out was a shadowy figure moving about. This made him so anxious he scratched his ears and cheeks, afraid Guan Lei would take advantage of Shen Xi.

Two figures overlapped, and Zheng Huai felt steam rising from his head as his imagination ran wild. Shen Xi was only 18, yet that scoundrel Guan Lei dared to make a move on her… He was a beast in human skin!

Fortunately, they barely touched each other before separating. It could not be anything bad, could it? Maybe it was just a small kiss. It was just a kiss. It was fine. Zheng Huai repeated the mantra, trying to convince himself that it was nothing serious.

“Ah!” He yelped in surprise. Why did their figures overlap again? Were they sharing a bed? Wasn’t that a little too intimate?!

A thought occurred to him. He could not barge in, but he could call the police! Zheng Huai whipped out his phone and made the decisive call.

–

“Why don’t you try these stretches before going to bed? It’s supposed to help you sleep.” Shen Xi lay on the bed, spread in a b.u.t.terfly stretch.

Shen Xi had done plenty of research online to think of ways to counter Guan Lei’s persistent nightmares and insomnia.

Seeing Guan Lei unresponsive, Shen Xi pushed him gently, causing him to land in bed.

The sudden action shocked Guan Lei. No woman had ever climbed onto his bed or forced him to lie down. Shen Xi was so bold!

Guan Lei gripped onto the headboard for support. As he was about to get up, Shen Xi stepped on him, forcing him back down. She placed her hands on Guan Lei’s chest and hissed, “Stop struggling!”

Guan Lei’s eyes widened comically, his ears a crimson flush. He could feel his heart rate spike, throbbing like a drum in his ears.

He was about to tell her to ‘get lost!’ and the only thing that stopped him was the look in Shen Xi’s limpid eyes.

Shen Xi knew she had crossed the line. Backpedalling, she defended herself, “I wouldn’t have had to do anything if you listened. It’s your fault for not doing as I said.”

Guilt wormed its way into her voice, and she pointedly avoided meeting Guan Lei’s eyes.

Guan Lei stared blankly at Shen Xi. She looked so bashful, so different from her usual confidence. He was unsure why, but his mood brightened, and he felt the urge to tease Shen Xi.

However, they were interrupted by a commotion outside. Shen Xi tried to get up and see what was going on, but the door broke open before she could.

The loud crash startled her so badly that she ended up sitting on Guan Lei, who groaned in pain from the sudden weight on top of him.
