Chapter 62 Hehehe, I've caught you red-handed!
Chapter 62 Hehehe, I've caught you red-handed!
Zhang Su abandoned the idea of using money to thank Xu An.
Just as Xu An said, he wasn't short of a few cents.
Zhang Su also knew that Xu An had made a lot of money selling the copyrights of his books, and the little money he had was not even a fraction of what Xu An had made.
He just didn't know how to express his gratitude. Simply saying it verbally would seem too inadequate to show his appreciation for saving his life.
"Alright, I've received your thanks. Go back to sleep now." Xu An began to issue the order to leave.
There's someone else under the bed.
If he were discovered, Xu An's innocence would be ruined.
Zhang Su remained silent for a moment. He stood up and bowed deeply to Xu An. "Xu An, I apologize for my previous behavior."
"I admit that I used to dislike you, but you saved Xiyan. I apologize for my previous prejudice against you and hope to get your forgiveness."
Xu An waved his hand dismissively: "Oh, I thought it was a big deal. I didn't take what you said seriously at all. In my eyes, you're just a kid who's still in school. It's nothing."
Zhang Su's eye twitched. Xu An's words only made things worse, as if several sharp swords were piercing his heart.
So it was all just wishful thinking on my part; in reality, the other person didn't care about me at all.
Xu An must think all her actions were very childish.
Thinking of all this, Zhang Su took a deep breath and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a "pfft" sound.
In an instant.
Xu An froze, his spirits lifted, and cold sweat poured down his back.
Jiang Xiyan, who was under the bed, covered her mouth tightly, her eyes wide open, cursing herself inwardly for not being able to stop laughing.
"Xu An, did you hear anything just now?" Zhang Su asked, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards the area under the bed.
"No, no, you misheard." Xu An quickly waved his hand, then urged, "You should go back first. I'm sleepy and about to go to bed."
Seeing his nervousness, Zhang Su frowned slightly, his gaze suspicious.
Meeting his suspicious gaze, Xu An forced a smile and urged him to leave: "You should go back first. We can talk about it tomorrow."
Suddenly, Zhang Su seemed to realize something. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Xu An with disbelief. Then he narrowed his eyes and revealed a meaningful smile.
"I understand, I understand, I won't disturb your sleep anymore."
With that, he turned and walked toward the door.
"You understand? What do you understand? You don't understand anything! You just understand, understand?" Xu An wanted to curse him out on the spot, but he had no words to express his bitterness.
As he reached the door, Zhang Su suddenly turned around, his gaze fixed on the floor beneath the bed.
He hadn't noticed anything amiss when he first came in, but when he deliberately looked under the bed from the doorway, he actually saw a patch of white under the bed, as if someone was hiding there.
Sensing Zhang Su's intention, Xu An stepped forward, blocking his view.
"I'll head back now. You should get some rest." Zhang Su wasn't annoyed. He smiled at Xu An and emphasized the words "get some rest."
Xu An forced a smile and replied perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, you should get some rest too."
He only breathed a sigh of relief after Zhang Su left and closed the door again.
Zhang Su's eyes and words told Xu An that he knew everything.
But things didn't go as he expected at all!
Xu An wanted to explain, but he didn't know how, especially since Jiang Xiyan was hiding under the bed. He was afraid that if Zhang Su saw Jiang Xiyan crawling out from under the bed, he would break down and want to jump off the building.
Xu An only belatedly realized why he had let Jiang Xiyan hide under the bed back then, since the two of them hadn't done anything shameful.
My lifelong reputation!
Xu An was filled with grief and indignation, wishing he could roar to the heavens.
Zhang Su walked down the corridor with a mocking smile on his face, muttering to himself, "I never would have guessed that Xu An, that guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, could be so cunning."
I don't know if he thought of something, but he suddenly started laughing "hehehe" in a very lewd way.
At the same time, a weight was lifted from my shoulders.
He has found something to hold against Xu An, so Xu An will no longer be a threat to him!
If I were to secretly tell Jiang Xiyan about this, even if Xu An was her savior, she would definitely not like him.
The more Zhang Su thought about it, the brighter his smile became.
Going to thank them tonight was definitely the right decision.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but want to immediately and secretly "share" it with Jiang Xiyan.
As Zhang Su passed by Jiang Xiyan's room, he inexplicably stopped and knocked on the door.
Who is it?
Feng Yingying's voice came from inside the room.
"Feng Yingying, it's me, Zhang Su," Zhang Su replied.
With a "click," the room door opened.
Feng Yingying looked at Zhang Su, who was standing at the door with a big smile on his face, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? What's making you so happy?"
Zhang Su immediately stopped smiling. "It's nothing. Is Xiyan in her room?"
Feng Yingying shook her head: "No, she went out."
"She went out? It's raining so hard outside, where did she go all by herself?" Zhang Su asked, puzzled.
Feng Yingying shook her head: "I don't know, Xiyan said she'll be back soon."
"Okay," Zhang Su nodded. "Then I'll head back now."
"Okay." Feng Yingying looked away and closed the door.
Zhang Su continued walking back to his room, stepping onto the soft, soundproof mat. He wondered, "With such heavy rain at night, where could tide Yan go by herself?"
He muttered to himself, shook his head, took out his room key, pushed open the door, and went inside.
......
the other side.
After Zhang Su left, Xu An finally spoke: "Come out, he's gone."
Jiang Xiyan crawled out from under the bed, and upon seeing Xu An's gaze, she immediately gave an embarrassed smile.
"Did I make you misunderstand something?" she said with an embarrassed smile.
"What do you think?" Xu An glared at him. "My innocence over the past twenty-six years has been completely ruined by you."
"Oh dear, I didn't mean to! Who knew Zhang Su would suddenly knock on your door so late at night?" Jiang Xiyan said coquettishly, then added, "I'll just compensate you."
"Compensation? What are you going to use to compensate me?" Xu An said irritably.
"At worst, I'll compensate you with my nineteen years of innocence; that'll offset it, won't it?"
Upon hearing this, Xu An was stunned.
Jiang Xiyan stiffened as she realized she had said the wrong thing.
Almost simultaneously, the scene from before flashed through their minds.
The other person's taste still seemed to linger on her lips, and she could still feel that warm softness.
"Cough cough." Xu An coughed.
Jiang Xiyan also came to her senses. At this moment, she didn't know if it was because the effects of the alcohol had worn off, or because Zhang Su's appearance in the middle of the night had broken the atmosphere that had been built up, which caused her to completely lose the courage to take the initiative. Instead, she lowered her head in a fluster, and a blush crept up her ears.
Seeing her helpless expression, Xu An felt secretly pleased.
"that......"
"It's getting late, why don't you go back and rest?"
"Okay." Jiang Xiyan agreed immediately and ran towards the door as if fleeing.
