"Sister Yunlin, please stop teasing me, I was young and just talking nonsense back then."

Qin Chuan awkwardly scratched the back of his head.

"I don't believe you at all. My dorm is right next to your instructor's. The stories about you and her, I've heard them so many times."

Xu Yunlin snorted in contempt, couldn't help but mutter quietly, "Knowing people live next door, you could have been quieter."

"This, I..."

Qin Chuan felt like dying—getting found out was bad enough, but it had to be Sister Yunlin.

He knew dorms weren't safe.

Looks like from now on, he can't go to Jian Ya's dorm anymore; he'll have to buy a house outside.

With Qin Chuan's current financial strength, buying a house for Jian Ya is a piece of cake.

"And also, the utility room in the teaching building, avoid going there too, the soundproofing is awful," Xu Yunlin advised.

"You, you even know about that..."

Qin Chuan felt like the sky was falling. He and Su Qian had only been there twice.

He never thought Xu Yunlin would know even about that.

Did she install surveillance on him? Why does nothing escape her eyes?

"As the saying goes, if you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it," Xu Yunlin looked at Qin Chuan's embarrassed face with a proud expression.

"Luckily you ran into me. If it were someone else, you and your lady wouldn't be able to stay in Jiang University anymore."

Xu Yunlin reached out to rub Qin Chuan's head, comforting him, "Little Chuan, don't worry, even though you're a playboy, I won't despise you. I'll keep your secret."

Qin Chuan laughed and cried, "Sister Yunlin, things aren't like you think, I..."

Indeed, he admitted he was an ordinary man, greedy and lustful, was his nature.

But, honestly, he never thought he'd be surrounded by so many women like now.

Under normal circumstances, even if he's a flirt, two or three is already enough, any more and it's hard to handle.

But it's because he practiced an Evil Technique.

To cultivate, to survive, he could only dig himself deeper.

All he could do was try his best to protect them and keep them from harm's way.

But these words, he just couldn't bring himself to say.

After all, who would believe such a thing if he said it?

Plus, Xu Yunlin might think he's just a coward making excuses and lying.

After thinking it over, Qin Chuan swallowed his words back.

"Alright alright, I'm just a playboy," Qin Chuan said with a bitter smile.

"Don't worry, I don't despise you,"

Xu Yunlin again reached out to touch Qin Chuan's head, her delicate face full of doting affection.

At this moment, she seemed like an elder sister who loves her brother unconditionally.

No matter what mistakes the brother made, she would choose to tolerate them.

Even though she knew she was encouraging Qin Chuan by doing so, for some reasons she just wanted to pamper him.

As Xu Yunlin gently stroked Qin Chuan, her hand suddenly paused, then moved down his back and touched his nape, and Liu Mei creased her brows mysteriously.

"Wha... what's wrong, Sister Yunlin?" Qin Chuan looked awkward.

After all, Xu Yunlin's hand was already inside his clothes.

"Nothing, nothing."

Xu Yunlin withdrew her hand, her gaze at Qin Chuan becoming gentler.

"That Feng Xiyang, was it you who did that to him?" Xu Yunlin suddenly brought up the morning incident.

Qin Chuan didn't hide it, but he asked a bit surprised, "Sister Yunlin, how did you know?"

"I saw needle marks on his body, but there were no needles found on him," Xu Yunlin explained.

Hearing this, Qin Chuan was even more surprised, "My needle placement was very discreet, how did you find out, Sister Yunlin?"

Xu Yunlin's eyes obviously avoided his as she said, "I, I studied acupuncture for a while too."

Qin Chuan caught her guilty expression, but he didn't press further.

After all, everyone has their own secrets.

He believed Xu Yunlin wouldn't harm him.

Then, the two chatted a little more about family matters, reminisced about happy childhood moments, and talked about experiences since they parted.

Xu Yunlin stood at the infirmary door, seeing Qin Chuan off with a bit of sadness in her eyes.

"How is Little Chuan's Primordial Yang so abundant?"

Xu Yunlin's lashes trembled slightly, "Could that be why he has so many women around him? Little Chuan, what have you been through all these years?"

On the other hand, still basking in the joy of the reunion, Qin Chuan didn't return to class.

The class was already halfway through, so going back wasn't very meaningful.

Thinking about how there was still time before school's out, he thought of taking Jian Ya to see some apartments across the school.

He was mainly spooked by Xu Yunlin earlier, so he thought to quickly settle the housing issue, to avoid awkwardness in the future at Jian Ya's dorm.

"You want to check out apartments? Sure, wait for me at the school gate, I'll be there soon," Jian Ya agreed over the phone.

So Qin Chuan waited alone at the school gate for Jian Ya.

But unexpectedly, it wasn't Jian Ya who arrived, but Shi Qing.

Today, Shi Qing was wearing a black tight-fitting pencil skirt, with Qin Chuan's favorite black stockings on her beautiful legs.

Her slightly wavy short hair was clean and neat.

The whole person gave off a capable and strong vibe, and of course, there was that indispensable sexiness and charm.

On seeing her, Qin Chuan instinctively turned aside, pretending not to see her.

"Stop pretending, Jian Ya asked me to come, she didn't have time to go apartment hunting with you," Shi Qing said coldly.

"Oh well, let's do it another time then," Qin Chuan, as if afraid the matter would eat him alive, turned around ready to leave.

Shi Qing honked the car horn with force, "I know people, I can get the best discount."

"You should've said so earlier,"

Before Shi Qing could respond, Qin Chuan was already in the back seat, "Drive, what are you waiting for?"

Shi Qing's eye twitched a few times, "I didn't think you were such a little money-grubber?"

"Look at how you're saying it, who doesn't like money?"

Qin Chuan shrugged nonchalantly, "Save when you can, spend when you must—a child from a poor background learns to manage early."

Though Qin Chuan was not short of money now, that didn't mean he'd spend recklessly.

He was truly scared of poverty growing up, so he cherished every penny.

Since Shi Qing could get a discount, it'd be a waste not to take advantage.

Soon, Shi Qing drove Qin Chuan to a high-end community opposite the school.

"This community, average price is about thirty thousand, all large units over a hundred and fifty square meters, the community has more than eighty percent green space, and all living facilities are complete."

It was clear Shi Qing had done her homework, she might even have deliberately brought Qin Chuan to this community.

Qin Chuan walked into the community, looked around the surroundings, and nodded in satisfaction.

Shi Qing smiled playfully, "If you don't have enough money, I can lend you some, no interest."

Clearly, Shi Qing was trying to deepen her connection with Qin Chuan by lending him money.

In her own view, it wasn't to seduce Qin Chuan, purely just wanting him to treat her illness sooner, nothing more!

Unexpectedly, Qin Chuan just chuckled nonchalantly, "Not enough money? Who do you think you're looking down on?"
