Muchuan And Xiang Wan 641 Whispers

When she moved, Tang Yuanchu followed and got up from his seat as well—

"It's just a bathroom break. Did you think that I could fly away?" Xie Wanwan looked at Tang Yuanchu with a somewhat disdainful smile and an unfriendly look. However, she did not stop him from following her.

This was because—she couldn't stop him.

Tang Yuanchu was someone who would strictly abide by his task.

No matter what she said, he would follow.

Of course, he was also worried about his safety.

He read through the murderer's script, which was being circulated on the internet more than once.

Same as Xiang Wan, The appearance of the kid also bewildered him, which was mentioned in the script. Why was there a kid? Why would Xie Wanwan run desperately inside the dark building for the sake of the kid?

…

When one couldn't figure it out, they would realize that there was something fishy about it.

This baffled Tang Yuanchu and thought maybe there was a secret he didn't know.

…

The lights at the restroom belonged to the atmospheric ones, which were rather dim.

Xie Wanwan walked to the entrance of the restroom and pushed it, then she suddenly turned around with a smile.

"Do you want to follow me inside?"

Tang Yuanchu turned away, back facing her. "I'll wait for you outside."

Hur! Xie Wanwan narrowed her eyes and let out a cold snicker. "You're not worried that I'll slip away from the restroom?"

Tang Yuanchu turned around and looked at her. "You won't do that if you're smart."

Xie Wanwan revealed a half-smile. "Why?"

Tang Yuanchu replied, "Only the police can protect you now, and you don't want to die."

Xie Wanwan looked at him without batting an eyelid. A while later, she suddenly let out a laugh. "Who said that I'm smart? Maybe… I suddenly have an interest in death?"

Tang Yuanchu didn't utter a reply. "…"

"You're afraid that I'd die?" She asked.

Back then, Tang Yuanchu was afraid.

She had done that before; she suffered a close brush with death and stayed on trending news for many days…

"You're afraid. Would you rather have me with you inside of the female restroom? Hmm?" Xie Wanwan suddenly felt like teasing him; she had an urge to know how much he could tolerate her.

She wanted to know as to what extent he would tolerate such crazy behavior.

Xie Wanwan's chin was slightly raised while she challenged him; her contour lines were especially pleasing to the eye…

For a moment, Tang Yuanchu didn't reply.

He simply stared at her; his gaze was earnest and complicated.

"I'm asking you a question." The corners of Xie Wanwan's lips curled up sarcastically. She peered at him with a provoking expression. "Oh, so you only have this much guts… Aye…"

The moment she turned away from him, Tang Yuanchu immediately dashed over.

He held her waist and lifted her off the ground.

Xie Wanwan was startled. "What are you doing?"

Tang Yuanchu didn't answer her but knocked on the door of the female restroom, but he didn't receive any response. He pushed open the door, walked inside, and put Xie Wanwan down.

"You may go ahead. I'll stand guard here!"

"…"

Xie Wanwan was stupefied.

She couldn't believe her eyes… and ears.

Tang Yuanchu adjusted his attire and seemed calm. "Are you going or not?"

Xie Wanwan looked at his abrupt appearance in the restroom, her lips curled up in displeasure, but she didn't say a word.

Tang Yuanchu raised an eyebrow. "If you're not going, then shall I go ahead?"

Xie Wanwan didn't reply. "…"

A girl happened to enter the restroom. She saw him and heard his words, which made her dumbfounded for a moment. She suddenly let out a scream and ran out of the toilet as if she saw a ghost…

Thud! The door closed.

They heard someone talking outside. "What happened?"

"There's a pervert inside…"

Tang Yuanchu stared at her without uttering a word. "…"

Xie Wanwan did the same. "…"

The two of them met each other's gaze.

Suddenly, Tang Yuanchu was simmering in laughter.

"So, have you had enough fun?"

The restroom was not the right place to talk.

As if a big rock was stuck in Xie Wanwan's throat, she opened her mouth, but in the end, she pointed towards the door. "Wait for me outside."

Tang Yuanchu replied, "I've already said that I'll stand guard here."

"Do you want to be treated like a pervert and get beaten up?"

"So be it! What's the big deal anyway?" Tang Yuanchu was obstinate. He leaned against the door to block anyone from entering, then he raised his chin. "You better hurry up!"

Xie Wanwan was at a loss for words again. "…"

"I'm not going to the toilet now," she remarked, "just go out."

Such restrooms were not made to be soundproof. Xie Wanwan didn't want him to hear the sounds while she used the toilet.

Tang Yuanchu made a grim expression as he contemplated and checked every cubicle.

There wasn't any window big enough for a human to pa.s.s through. There wasn't anyone at the restroom except for the two of them.

He nodded. "I'll wait at the entrance. Call me if anything…"

"Why would I call you?" Xie Wanwan was ticked off.

"For instance…" He turned around and winked at her, showing a bright smile. "You need toilet paper?"

"…"

His show of guts also shocked her.

"Hurry. If you don't come out fast enough, I'm going to barge in." Tang Yuanchu believed what she had said earlier about death. Just before he stepped out of the restroom, he even scrutinized her face with distrust and a hint of hidden worry. His fair face was engraved with youthfulness, and his gaze was pure and full of warmth…

"Mm." Xie Wanwan lowered her head slowly, so he would not look at him.

Why did she fall for this person?

The feelings were obviously shallow.

Why did the heart delve so deep into it, though?

She had thought about it before.

At that moment, she finally understood.

Such pure youthfulness was sentimental and persistent, where love was placed first. It was something that she had lacked, something that her heart had been yearning for… Whenever he tried to be stern or fierce with her, he did it a little clumsily, which did not annoy her strangely, but his charm seduced her instead…

She wanted to fall in love with a man as pure as him.

It was a pity that she couldn't go back to her youth again…

She had already lost those days.

…

Both of them came back from the private dining room with somewhat strange expressions.

Xiang Wan sensitively detected something as she sneaked a laugh at Xie Wanwan.

"Come quick, your favorite dishes are served."

Xie Wanwan's seat was beside her.

She showed a reluctant smile and sat there expressionlessly. When they were having their meal, she looked distracted.

Xiang Wan whispered to her. "Have you told him?"

Xie Wanwan was startled then she shook her head. "I couldn't. I just can't …"

However, she couldn't keep this under wraps forever.

It was just a matter of time.

Xiang Wan's scalp felt numb.

She had always thought that Xie Wanwan was a straightforward woman. She never expected that she would be so draggy.

What should she do? This matter shouldn't be dragged on anymore!

Xiang Wan turned to look at Bai Muchuan.

Coincidentally, he was also looking at her.

The two of them exchanged glances, and Xiang Wan knew what he wanted her to do.

She cleared her throat slightly. "One who hesitates losses!"

Xie Wanwan heard that, and she lowered her gaze, not saying a word.

Tang Yuanchu was sitting beside Xie Wanwan and had heard them mumbling softly to each other.

"Teacher Xiang," he asked with a smile, "what are you two whispering about?"
