Chapter 24: The Girl's Room

  Tai Shu Zheng Yu rushed home at almost the fastest speed. As soon as he stopped the car, another call came in. Tai Shu Zheng Yu took a look and it was an unfamiliar number, he didn't know who called. In Tai Shu Zheng Yu's mobile phone, there is only one number that has been stored, which is Shi Ruo Han's number. The other numbers are all remembered by Tai Shu Zheng Yu in his heart.

  Tai Shu Zheng Yu's phone number is known only to a handful of people. After Tai Shu answered the call, a sweet and gentle female voice came from the other end.

  "Hello, are you Uncle Zheng Yu?" Uncle Zheng Yu closed the car door and went upstairs, saying: "Yes, what's up?" Uncle Zheng Yu vaguely felt that this voice was a bit familiar, but couldn't remember who it was. "I am Zhang Yan, the assistant principal of Deep Blue University. You have already signed up, and we haven't arranged your class yet, you need to decide for yourself. Also, there is something else that requires you to come to school, to pick up some things." Zhang Yan said.

  Zhang Yan mentioned her own name, and Tai Shu Zheng Yu finally remembered. No wonder he felt a little familiar with this voice, it turned out that they had met more than ten days ago. Tai Shu Zheng Yu said: "Okay, I know, when exactly do you want me to go over?" Tai Shu Zheng Yu suddenly looked at the person in front of him. As for Zhang Yan's words on the phone, Tai Shu Zheng Yu didn't notice listening for a while, and only seemed to hear that he had to go over tomorrow.

  Uncle Zheng Yu thought Zhang Yan had finished speaking and directly hung up the phone, looking at a girl standing opposite his house door. Zhang Yan was still talking when she suddenly heard a dial tone coming from the phone, her face changed instantly, gritting her teeth and saying: "Damn Uncle Zheng Yu, actually hung up the phone without waiting for me to finish speaking, humph, wait till tomorrow, you'll be in trouble." Zhang Yan suddenly chuckled, apparently thinking of some wicked idea. This was still Zhang Yan's first time encountering someone who dared to hang up the phone before she finished speaking, but this wasn't Uncle Zheng Yu's first time either, the first time should have been when he ignored Zhang Yan.

  Although Zhang Yan is the assistant principal, she is still a junior at Deep Blue University. With her looks, figure, and family background, she has always been the goddess in the hearts of all the male students, and no one dares to ignore her. Tai Shu Zhengyu is the first person to directly ignore her, so Zhang Yan can't help but wonder if this man has a different sexual orientation?

  Tai Shu Zheng Yu was not standing in front of his own house, but on the stairs, a few steps away from his home's entrance, just able to see the situation across. He saw that the door opposite was wide open, only the outermost anti-theft door was closed, and inside stood a girl, staring at the tightly closed door of Tai Shu Zheng Yu's house.

  The outermost anti-theft door just allows the people inside to clearly see the outside situation, and naturally, the people outside can also see the inside situation. "Not back yet, today is already the fourth day, why haven't I seen him come back?" Shi Ruohan muttered to herself, wearing pajamas, her eyes dull, staring at the tightly closed door across from her, with a thick layer of disappointment on her face. How many times had she been disappointed like this? She couldn't remember anymore. Repeatedly opening the door, observing the movements outside, but not discovering any movement, only to close the door in disappointment again. Any slight noise would startle Shi Ruohan, and every time she knew she must have misheard, yet she couldn't help but want to come out and take a look.

  Always standing by and paying attention to Shi Ruohuan, Uncle Zheng Yu looked at the scene in front of him and clearly heard Shi Ruohuan's murmurs. A certain string in his heart was touched. The originally delicate and beautiful face had become haggard, with two large black eye circles under her eyes, her hair disheveled, and a look of disappointment in her eyes that Uncle Zheng Yu saw clearly.

  Tai Shu Zheng Yu suddenly discovered that Shi Ruo Han was really beautiful, although at this time Shi Ruo Han did not have the usual big smile, but in Tai Shu Zheng Yu's eyes, it was the most beautiful moment. Tai Shu Zheng Yu quietly looked at Shi Ruo Han, without making any sound.

  A seed had fallen into his heart, and quietly sprouted in Tai Shu Zheng Yu's mind. A faint smile played on the corners of Tai Shu Zheng Yu's mouth. Perhaps it was because Tai Shu Zheng Yu's gaze was too dazzling, but suddenly, Shi Ruo Huan's eyes widened in surprise, unintentionally looking over at Tai Shu Zheng Yu, and exclaimed: "Zheng Yu! You're back!"

  Tai Shu Zheng Yu saw Shi Ruo Han and walked up, but then Shi Ruo Han's actions suddenly stunned Tai Shu Zheng Yu. With a bang, the door of the opposite house slammed shut, and Tai Shu Zheng Yu watched this scene, suddenly bewildered, thinking to himself, doesn't she want to see me? Tai Shu Zheng Yu stared blankly at the door that had suddenly closed on the opposite side.

  When Shi Ruohan suddenly saw Tai Shu Zhengyu, she was originally very happy in her heart, but suddenly thought of her current attire, how could she see people? Shi Ruohan leaned against the door frame, lightly exhaling a breath. Tai Shu Zhengyu had finally returned. A hint of a smile flashed across Shi Ruohan's face as she looked at her outfit. Without delaying for even a moment, she rushed towards the bedroom to change clothes, simply tidying up her attire before taking a deep breath and walking out, opening the door.

  From closing the door to reopening it, within three minutes at most, you can see how fast Shi Ruohan is. Even Tai Shu Zhengyu couldn't do better than that, and Shi Ruohan still had time for a simple dressing and combing her hair.

  "Come in and sit down?" Shi Ruohan slightly pursed her lips, with a hint of shyness on her face. Tai Shu Zhengwu snapped out of his daze, nodded and said: "Okay." Under Shi Ruohan's invitation, Tai Shu Zhengwu entered Shi Ruohan's boudoir. This was the first time Tai Shu Zhengwu had ever entered a girl's room, and it was also the first time he had been so close to a girl in his life.

  Uncle Jeong-u walked in, looked around the room, and almost everything he saw was pink, from the sofa to the curtains. The room was filled with a feminine atmosphere that made Uncle Jeong-u's old face slightly flush. He noticed a thin, messy air conditioner blanket on the sofa, and there were obvious indentations on the surface of the sofa. Uncle Jeong-u thought of something in his mind.

  Shi Ruohan brought a can of drink for Tai Shu Zhengyu and placed it in front of him. Looking at Tai Shu Zhengyu staring at the messy sofa, her small face turned red as she hastily said, "Sorry about the mess, please sit down first, I'll clean up." Shi Ruohan quickly tidied up the things on the sofa with the fastest speed in her life.

  Tai Shu Zheng Yu sat down afterwards, looking at Shi Ruohan's busy figure. He could tell that the room was not messy at all, every corner was spotless and tidy. It was clear that Shi Ruohan was very particular about cleanliness. The entire living room was neat and organized, except for the sofa which was a bit disheveled, everything else was arranged in an orderly manner.

  Very soon, Shi Ruohan finished packing up her things and took a sneak peek at Tai Shu Zhengyu. It seemed like Tai Shu Zhengyu hadn't noticed anything, so she let out a sigh of relief in her heart. Shi Ruohan sat down next to Tai Shu Zhengyu and asked, "Have your injuries healed? We've been worried about you for the past few days. We didn't hear from you for several days and thought something had happened to you." Originally, Shi Ruohan wanted to say "I was worried about you", but that sentence seemed a bit embarrassing, so she changed it on the spot.

  Tai Shu Zheng Yu tilted his head to look at Shi Ruohan, but didn't say a word. Seeing Tai Shu Zheng Yu not speaking, with complex eyes looking at her, Shi Ruohan's heart was in disarray, and she forced herself to calm down and smile: "What's wrong, do I have flowers on my face?" Shi Ruohan even reached out to touch her own face.

  "There's no flower, but it looks better than a flower." Tai Shu Zheng Yu was silent for half a moment before saying this one sentence. This sentence suddenly stirred up a storm in Shi Ruo Han's heart, oh my god, Tai Shu Zheng Yu is a guy with zero emotional intelligence, someone who doesn't even know what a girlfriend is, yet he said something like that. Shi Ruo Han felt very sweet inside, sweeter than eating honey, happier than eating Haagen-Dazs, her face was flushed red, her heart beating rapidly, her head involuntarily lowered slightly, just like a red-faced ostrich.

  As soon as the words were spoken, Tai Shu Zheng Yu suddenly realized that this was a bit abrupt. Tai Shu Zheng Yu immediately changed his tone and said: "I just subconsciously spoke out, Xiaohan, don't mind." Shi Ruo Han secretly scolded herself, how could she be so silly for a moment, now she's become a wooden stump again. Shi Ruo Han also knew Tai Shu Zheng Yu's personality, from her understanding of him over the past few days, she found that Tai Shu Zheng Yu was actually a very simple person, not that he was stupid, but rather that his heart was beautiful and pure, without any ulterior motives or romantic entanglements. To ordinary people, Tai Shu Zheng Yu was like an alien, someone like him was really rare in this day and age. But Shi Ruo Han just liked this about Tai Shu Zheng Yu, a pure and simple love that made her feel very happy.

  Shi Ruohan's heart suddenly felt a wave of secret joy, what he said earlier was subconscious, which means that's exactly what he thought in his heart. Thinking about this, the thread of anger in Shi Ruohan's heart instantly dissipated. Shi Ruohan smiled slightly, the redness on her face had gradually faded away, but still with a hint of pink. Shi Ruohan said: "Hehe, we are friends, aren't we? Nothing much." Shi Ruohan could only follow Tai Shu Zhengyu's words from now on.

  Tai Shu Zheng Yu saw Shi Ruohan and seemed to be indifferent, but in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. Tai Shu Zheng Yu shook his head, he didn't know why, it just felt like something wasn't quite right, but he couldn't put his finger on what it was.

  "Can you tell me about your situation?" The atmosphere between the two suddenly became cold, and Shi Ruohan had to speak up. Uncle Zheng Yu was not very good with words, Shi Ruohan knew that in her heart, she had to create the opportunity herself. Uncle Zheng Yu was not some kind of romantic rogue who knew everything.

  Tai Shu Zheng Yu said, "Actually, it's nothing much. I've been staying in the hospital for a few days, but the smell of disinfectant is quite unbearable." When Tai Shu Zheng Yu mentioned his injuries, Shi Ruo Huan's heart suddenly became worried. She remembered that just a few days ago, Tai Shu Zheng Yu was covered in wounds from head to toe, which was shocking to see. Shi Ruo Huan asked, "How are your injuries now?"

  "The wound has healed, nothing's wrong, don't you see I'm fine now?" Tai Shu Zheng Yu waved his arm with a strong gesture, but Shi Ruohan couldn't help feeling a little skeptical - such a severe injury had recovered in just a few days, it was really hard to believe.

  "Is it really healed?" Shi Ruohan said, "Even if it's just a minor wound, it should take at least a few days to recover." Shi Ruohan still had some doubts in her heart. Tai Shu Zhengyu chuckled and thought to himself that if he told others about his own experiences, they would hardly believe him. Who could heal wounds in just a few days? If it weren't for Tai Shu Zhengyu himself, he probably wouldn't even dare to believe it.

  "I don't know, probably because my body is different from ordinary people, so the wound healing speed has increased a lot. Look." Tai Shu Zheng Yu lifted his T-shirt, and suddenly exposed his chest and abdomen, with only fine red lines on it, without any signs of wounds.

  Shi Ruohan stared at Tai Shu Zhengyu in shock, this was too incredible. She clearly remembered that on that day, Tai Shu Zhengyu had a wound on his lower abdomen, but now there was only a faint red line left. No matter whether Tai Shu Zhengyu's body was unusual or not, Shi Ruohan didn't care, she just hoped that the wound on Tai Shu Zhengyu's body would heal, and that would be the best.

  Shi Ruohan stifled a yawn, and Tai Shu Zhengyu saw it in his eyes. He could tell that Shi Ruohan was already very sleepy. Tai Shu Zhengyu said to Shi Ruohan, "Why don't you go rest for a bit? Get a good night's sleep." Shi Ruohan shifted her body slightly and smiled, "It's okay, I just stayed up a bit late last night, so I'm not feeling too great today." Shi Ruohan forced herself to perk up, even though she was already very sleepy. She didn't want Tai Shu Zhengyu to leave so soon, and she hoped he could chat with her for a bit longer, even if it was just small talk.

  Uncle Zheng Yu let out a soft sigh and said, "Don't lie to me, I know you haven't slept for the past few days. The obvious signs on the sofa, how could I not see them?" As soon as he entered the door, Uncle Zheng Yu saw the messy marks on the sofa, although they had been tidied up by Shi Ruohan, but some traces were still visible.

  A girl, living in her own house, has a bed but doesn't sleep on it, instead she sleeps on the sofa, and what's more, it's the single-person sofa closest to the door. What is the reason for this? Adding to this, Uncle Zheng Yu had previously seen a scene on the stairs, how could he not think of the reason behind it? Uncle Zheng Yu is not stupid, but rather very clever, his reasoning ability is unmatched, so why all this, Uncle Zheng Yu understands in his heart, even if he doesn't understand love between men and women.

  Tears suddenly flowed from Shi Ruohan's eyes, and her voice became hoarse. Tai Shu Zhengyu's heart panicked, and he hastily supported Shi Ruohan's shoulders, asking: "Don't cry, I'm fine, aren't I?" Along with Tai Shu Zhengyu's arm, Shi Ruohan fell into his embrace, crying loudly, and hugged Tai Shu Zhengyu's waist, sobbing.

  "Do you know how I've been spending these past few days? I've been worried about you the whole time, afraid that something might happen to you. Every day, as soon as I hear any noise outside the house, I look out for a long time, hoping to get some news from you. I call your phone, but it's always unreachable. Even when I know there's no sound outside, I still can't help but want to go out and take a look." Shu Ruo Han finally released her concerns in front of Tai Shu Zheng Yu, revealing her true feelings.

  Tai Shu Zheng Yu heard these words, his hands subconsciously hugged Shi Ruo Han's soft and delicate body tightly, his heart was deeply moved, and the strength in his hands increased slightly. Shi Ruo Han smelled the strong masculine scent coming from Tai Shu Zheng Yu's body, truly feeling his presence, her sobbing gradually subsided. Shi Ruo Han said: "Don't leave me, okay? Don't..."

  Tai Shu Zheng Yu looked down and saw that Shi Ruohan was unknowingly asleep. Looking at Shi Ruohan's sleeping appearance, Tai Shu Zheng Yu lowered his head and gently kissed her, saying in a low voice: "If possible, I am willing, but..." Tai Shu Zheng Yu understood in his heart that all of this could not be controlled by himself, he had his own mission, the mission as a member of Knife Edge.

  It seemed that Shi Ruohan felt something, and a sweet smile rose on her face, but Tai Shu Zhengyu didn't notice. Tai Shu Zhengyu stretched out his hand through Shi Ruohan's feet and carried her into the room.
