034: If We Don’t Tell, No One Will Know
Qi Lin went home and had lunch.
After letting out a burp, he felt comfortable and prepared to ride his motorcycle to the central hospital.
Fate works in mysterious ways.
While walking down the corridor, he accidentally bumped into Tang Yubao, who was heading downstairs to throw out the garbage.
The memory of last night was still fresh in Qi Lin's mind.
She was cute but had a hint of purity, the innocence and allure of a young woman.
Moreover, Tang Yubao was simple-minded and always had that silly and adorable aura about her.
Otherwise, how else would she have gotten herself stuck in the washing machine?
Such a beautiful young woman didn't understand everything, but she knew just enough.
You know what I mean by contrast.
"It's so annoying, why did I run into this guy so soon?"
Tang Yubao was wearing a pure white camisole nightgown, the hem just reaching her thighs.
She wore thin, skin-colored stockings over her long, fair legs, reminiscent of something out of a comic book.
Slippers were on her feet, and her ten cute, round toes were clearly visible.
She didn't want to think about what had happened yesterday.
Biting her lower lip, she prepared to pretend not to notice him and pass by Qi Lin without a word.
"Sister Yubao, we're still neighbors after all. Why pretend we don't see each other and not even say hello when we meet?"
Qi Lin stopped her with a smile, blocking her path.
Tang Yubao was already feeling uneasy, and guilt towards Liu Hongyi weighed on her mind.
Qi Lin's current behavior was clearly taking advantage of her.
Tang Yubao couldn't take it anymore, raising her head with a quivering voice. She stared at Qi Lin with tear-filled eyes: "What did I say yesterday? I won't hold you accountable anymore. From now on, we'll act like we don't know each other. I'm already over it. What more do you want?"
It was lunchtime, and everyone was taking their midday break.
Qi Lin glanced around and noticed that no one was coming or going, and there were no cameras.
"Bang~"
He stretched out his broad palm and pressed it against the wall, trapping Tang Yubao between him and the wall.
"Sister Yubao, I've never had a girlfriend before, so you know what I mean, right?"
"And I've never told you this, but even though I always call you 'sister,' I've liked you for a long time. I've always dreamed of having a gentle, lovely, virtuous, and beautiful girl like you, Sister Yubao, as my wife. You understand, don't you?"
Qi Lin's sudden confession left Tang Yubao stunned.
She was so confused and taken aback that she forgot to cry.
A few tears just hung on her face.
Tang Yubao wasn't a fool.
She had never been in love, so could Qi Lin really still be a virgin?
And what did those last few sentences mean?
Could it be that he had been secretly in love with her all along?
Tang Yubao's cheeks turned red, not because she particularly liked Qi Lin.
But like most girls, she became shy when someone confessed their feelings to her.
On top of that, her marriage to Liu Hongyi had been arranged by their parents, so she wasn't sure if it was really love.
"Why are you telling me this? I'm already married, and this will cause me a lot of trouble if you keep acting like this."
"I... I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going home."
The combination of the sudden confession and the situation made Tang Yubao want to flee.
"Sister Yubao, I won't cause you any trouble. Just like yesterday, if we don't tell anyone, no one will know."
Qi Lin wasn't about to let Tang Yubao leave. He quickly wrapped his arms around her slim waist.
The silk nightgown clung to her, and the sensation felt amazing.
"No! Absolutely not!"
Tang Yubao panicked.
It was bad enough that it happened once, but to let it happen again would be unforgivable.
"Mm~"
Qi Lin smiled, not wasting any more words.
Such an adorable next-door neighbor was simply meant to be teased.
Tang Yubao's beautiful eyes widened instantly.
Her home was nearby, and now, here she was, being forcefully kissed by her neighbor right in the corridor outside her own house.
Her mind went blank, and her heart felt as though it had stopped.
Fear, terror!
But more than that, a strange sensation surged through her, straight to her core.
Ten minutes later.
The door to Tang Yubao's house opened.
Liu Hongyi walked out sleepily.
Then he saw Tang Yubao standing there, leaning against the corridor wall, seemingly dazed.
"Yubao, what are you doing standing out here?"
Tang Yubao was startled.
When she saw her husband, Liu Hongyi, her cheeks turned even redder.
She subconsciously wiped her mouth: "N-nothing, I forgot to bring my keys when I went out to throw the trash."
Liu Hongyi didn't suspect a thing and smiled, "Then why didn't you knock on the door?"
Tang Yubao lowered her head: "I didn't want to disturb your nap."
Liu Hongyi grinned, "My wife really cares about me. Come inside quickly, it's hot out here."
Tang Yubao nodded and trotted back into the house.
Once inside, she immediately poured herself a glass of water and gulped it down.
That bastard Qi Lin had gone too far. He had satisfied his own thirst, leaving her parched.
"Hmm~ My head hurts. I didn't drink that much yesterday, so why am I only waking up now?"
Liu Hongyi rubbed his forehead and sat down on the sofa.
Tang Yubao, feeling guilty, hurried into the kitchen: "It must have been the higher alcohol content yesterday. I'll go make you something to eat."
Liu Hongyi had no idea.
It was his own wife who had slipped him sleeping pills the night before
