9 Why Must Bad Things Be Done in Secret?

The moment the door opened, Qin Guanglin saw He Fang rolling around on the bed. She stopped when she heard the noise and looked towards the door.

"I don't know what you like to eat, so I bought more." Qin Guanglin lifted the bag of snacks for her to see.

"The benefit of being your girlfriend is kicking in so soon?" He Fang took the bag from him in surprise. "I thought I had to teach you everything slowly. You've become smart."

What did she mean by that? Was she looking down on him and his rich relationship history?

Qin Guanglin sat on the bed. "What privileges do I get as your boyfriend?"

He Fang opened a bag of chips. As she heard this, she took out a chip and brought it to his mouth. "Here. You get the first piece. That's your privilege."

He swallowed the chip after hesitating for 0.3 seconds. Now that they were already dating, this was no longer considered teasing?

"Is that all?" It was crispy and fragrant. It was delicious.

"What else do you want?" He Fang tilted her head as she looked at him, and then she briefly licked the corner of her lips.

Qin Guanglin noticed the movement. As he looked at her pink and soft lips, he suddenly thought of orange-flavored lip balm, which suddenly made him subconsciously lick his lips too.

What did he want? His eyes shifted upwards. He felt a little uneasy when he saw He Fang's gaze.

"So that's what you want…" He Fang's eyes sparkled before she blinked twice. She then slowly moved toward him.

"What?!" Qin Guanglin evaded her slightly and felt even more uneasy.

Qin Guanglin could already feel her breath on him, and as he looked at her, he felt nervous. However, almost suddenly, He Fang fell backward and lay directly on the bed. And as she munched on some chips, she threw him a brief smile. "If you want it, come and get it yourself."

Qin Guanglin felt that he was being teased again and approached her angrily. 'I'm your boyfriend now. Do you think I won't dare to?!'

'It's not like I didn't kiss you yesterday!'

"The water is boiling." Mother Qin opened the door with a kettle in her hand, but then she closed the door again. "I was wrong. The water still hasn't boiled. Since I'm old now, I can't see clearly."

"…"

Qin Guanglin flipped over and lay onto the bed, feeling his heart pound very hard. Just by being close to her, he became like this. This would not do. He had to find someone to learn from.

Were all women such demons?!

He Fang propped herself up with her arm and smiled as she looked at him. Meanwhile, Qin Guanglin felt a little embarrassed, so he turned his back at her so she could not see.

He Fang quietly crawled next to Qin Guanglin, moved to his ear, and whispered, "I'm pregnant."

"What?!" Qin Guanglin widened his eyes. He sat up abruptly and looked at He Fang.

"I'm pregnant with a baby." He Fang caressed her little belly with her hands, a shy expression on her face.

"…" Qin Guanglin's lips opened and closed them again. "When did that happen?"

"You don't know?" She rolled her eyes at Qin Guanglin, pulled his hand, and placed it on her belly. "Try touching him."

In a daze, he felt a warm softness under his hand. "Whose?"

"Yours."

"Mine?"

"Of course." He Fang smiled like a little fox.

He somersaulted and stood on the ground. He then looked at He Fang with his eyes wide.

"The night before, you kissed me once." He Fang lowered her head and snuck a gaze at him. "A kiss on the lips will make me pregnant."

"You're the one who kissed me. I'm going to get pregnant!" Qin Guanglin had been suppressing his anger for a long time. This woman was making fun of him again. She was too evil!

Furious, he lay back down with his back facing He Fang. Getting pregnant with a kiss?! Childish!

He Fang roared in laughter. Her face showed the proud smile of someone who had succeeded in her scheme. She lifted the bag of chips with two fingers, poured the crumbs into her mouth, and finished them noisily. Next, she lay down beside Qin Guanglin.

On the lower part of Qin Guanglin's back, a small and soft hand snaked its way around his waist, making him feel ticklish. He reached out to grab the offending hand and pinched it gently. However, since it felt quite nice to the touch, his anger dissipated a little, and he even closed his eyes to rest.

Since he had not slept the whole night, he did not even know when the fatigue hit him. In the next instance, Qin Guanglin opened his eyes, and the room was already dim. He flipped his body over and patted the space beside him after he had regained his focus. There was nothing there.

Where was He Fang?

He sat up and realized that there was a thin blanket covering him. Looking left and right, he saw that the blinds had been pulled up midway and the study table had been packed neatly, where some untouched snacks sat in silence.

Did she leave already?

Qin Guanglin got off the bed and opened the bedroom door. Mother Qin was currently sitting in the living room and arranging her vintage items.

"You're awake?" Mother Qin turned her head when she heard the noise. "What are you looking for?"

"Nothing."

"She left a while ago. You woke up late." Of course, Mother Qin could tell what he was thinking. "Come here and have a seat."

Qin Guanglin glanced at his watch and saw that it was already past five in the afternoon. He had slept so soundly. "Let me drink some water first."

He wasn't able to drink the water he boiled in the afternoon. At the moment, his mouth was dry, so he poured a glass of water to moisten his throat. Suddenly, he tasted a hint of orange flavor.

He looked at the glass. It was new. He then licked his lips before tilting his head blankly. He could not believe that He Fang did it while he was asleep.

"The two of you have confirmed your relationship?" Mother Qin put down the vintage item in her hand and looked up to ask him.

"Didn't you walk in on us earlier?" Qin Guanglin felt a little embarrassed, even though dating was a pretty normal thing. However, his mother saw him confess.

Mother Qin already knew what was going on. She simply wanted to hear him admit it. Alas, this lad still refused to answer the question.

"I didn't see her agree. You just stood there stiffly, and you confessed without giving her a present. She should reject you."

"She accepted. She accepted." Qin Guanglin did not want to talk about this topic with her.

Mother Qin glanced at him before launching her interrogation mode. "How did you two meet?"

"She's my junior in school," Qin Guanglin blurted out an answer that coincided with what He Fang had said in the morning.

He could not let Mother Qin know that He Fang flirted with him online and teased him in real life before they finally got together.

"When did you get together?"

"Just today." Qin Guanglin was baffled as he looked at Mother Qin.

"Nonsense! I already saw you watch a movie together yesterday!" Mother Qin revealed what she had seen yesterday while following them around.

"Where were you… That's because we had favorable impressions of each other? Can't we watch a movie if we're not dating?" Qin Guanglin tried to argue. It was true that they had only gotten together today.

Mother Qin thought about it and realized that what he said was right. "She's still studying. You're always up to no good."

"She's going to graduate from university soon." Qin Guanglin did not know what to say. It seemed that his mother spoke as if he was dating a secondary school student.

Come to think of it. He seemed to be the younger one in his interactions with her.

"That lass seems pretty outstanding. Why did she fancy you? It makes no sense." Mother Qin completely disregarded her own son's feelings.

"I'm a full-grown man. I'm not missing an arm or a leg. Why can't someone like me?"

Qin Guanglin stood up and wanted to return to his room, for he could not continue this conversation with her.

"Don't you dare bully her," Mother Qin reminded him from behind. "Invite her home often."

After he had closed his bedroom door, Qin Guanglin sprawled onto the bed again. Don't bully her? More like she was the one bullying him.

But when he thought about it properly, something was not right. How had she taken a fancy to him?

It shouldn't be the case.
