Chapter 1983 -2184: Bad Timing!!!

At the dinner table, Hu Lai was relatively calm, but Fatty just couldn’t keep his mouth shut. He talked non-stop about how Hao Jian had just dealt with Brother Rui, telling the story vividly, making Hao Jian out to be a perfect hero.

He was about to keep going, but Hao Jian suddenly gave him a look, after which he stopped talking about it. Instead, he started telling jokes, making the girls giggle uncontrollably, and even He Qiqi, who always had a stoic expression, laughed along.

The meal lasted about half an hour. After finishing, everyone went their separate ways. After all, they’d been quite spooked and stressed at the haunted house earlier, and with everything that had happened, it was a tiring day, so everyone was exhausted and parted ways after dinner.

During this time, Hu Lai and Fatty took a taxi directly, and then Zhang Danlin said she would safely escort He Qiqi and the other girls home. She then hailed a taxi and left with them. As for Hao Jian, in order to keep his secret of living with Liang Xiaohan, he waited for them all to leave before he headed out.

As he was leaving, He Qiqi suddenly thanked Hao Jian for standing up for her earlier. Hao Jian just smiled and said it was no big deal.

……

They casually hailed a cab on the road and went home. Once at home, Liang Xiaohan went straight to the bathroom to take a shower, leaving Hao Jian alone in the living room to relax. There was only one bathroom, and although he wanted to shower too, he could only wait for her to finish.

Sitting in the living room playing with his phone, Hao Jian soon received a message from Zhang Danlin. He opened it casually to take a look.

“Hey, are you home yet?” Zhang Danlin asked.

Hao Jian casually replied, “Hmm?”

Zhang Danlin then said, “Well, I’ve seen everyone home. It’s still early, so should I come over? It’s boring to be alone at home anyway.”

Upon reading this, Hao Jian was dumbfounded. No way, why is she coming over this late? Isn’t it ridiculous to not go home and rest but instead come to a guy’s house? He instinctively glanced at the bathroom, where Liang Xiaohan was still showering.

Immediately, without thinking, he replied, “Forget it, I’m tired and already lying down to sleep.” 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

“I can see all the lights are on at your place,” Zhang Danlin replied.

Hao Jian’s eyes widened in surprise, and before he could react, Zhang Danlin sent another message: “I’m standing right downstairs at your place. Why don’t you stay up a bit? I’d like to talk with you. I’m coming up!”

What? Downstairs! Immediately, Hao Jian’s eyes widened in shock, and he stood up, deeply surprised. He hurriedly replied, “No! I’m about to sleep. Whatever you want to say, let’s talk tomorrow.”

However, after sending the message, he didn’t get a response from Zhang Danlin, so he quickly ran to the window to see, and there she was, coming upstairs.

This… he was confused. Why did she have to come now of all times? She came so unexpectedly, and even after he told her he wanted to sleep, she still insisted on coming upstairs. Damn, this was just too sudden and left him at a loss.

Then, turning around, he saw the light was on in the bathroom, the sound of running water still going, and Liang Xiaohan was still inside showering. This made him feel a bit panicked. If she had come at any other time, he could let Liang Xiaohan hide, but now she’s in the shower. What should he do?

He frowned, and just then, Zhang Danlin had already reached the floor. In that moment, his mind was blank. If Zhang Danlin came inside and found a girl living there, and that girl was Liang Xiaohan, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If she found out he and Liang Xiaohan were living together, who knows… he couldn’t even imagine. He was a straightforward guy, but getting caught like this would be impossible to explain, especially since Zhang Danlin had previously asked him about this, and he’d said he was living with another guy.

At that moment, the thought of the consequences made him act without thinking, rushing to the bathroom and knocking urgently on the door. Inside, Liang Xiaohan was showering, washing away her weariness, when the sudden knocking startled her, making her cover certain parts of herself instinctively.

“Liang Xiaohan, hurry up and get out!” Hao Jian said anxiously.

Hearing this, Liang Xiaohan thought Hao Jian was up to no good again, so she ignored him and continued her shower. Hao Jian didn’t know why there was no response when he called her. Meanwhile, Zhang Danlin was quickly approaching upstairs, and instinctively his hand reached for the doorknob.

Then, inexplicably, he tried to open the door, and somehow, despite being fine before, the lock suddenly seemed worn out and broke. In a hurry, as he turned the handle, the door swung open unexpectedly and he stumbled inside.

Liang Xiaohan was in the shower, water cascading over her, completely naked. Then, Hao Jian rushed in impulsively. The bathroom was small, and when he opened the door, he was facing her directly, so in an instant, he saw her from head to toe.

Just like that, Liang Xiaohan was seen completely by Hao Jian, and she was instantly frightened, covering herself instinctively.

“Ah!” Even with a big heart, she cried out at that moment.

Not just her, Hao Jian was also stunned, never expecting to open the door and see Liang Xiaohan fully exposed. Normally, he would be frozen solid by such a vision, but now this incredible scene triggered a physical reaction in him.

But at this moment, it’s really not the time to be thinking about these kinds of things. His expression was tense, he coughed a few times, and quickly said, “Well, I didn’t expect the lock to be broken. The door just opened like that. I swear, I didn’t do it on purpose!”

Liang Xiaohan stared at him with wide eyes, filled with unmistakable anger that couldn’t be hidden. If she could, she really wanted to take a knife to Hao Jian’s head right now.

“Get out of here quickly!” Hao Jian hurriedly said.

Seeing Liang Xiaohan unmoved and seemingly ready to silence him, he quickly added, “Hurry up, or it’ll be too late. Zhang Danlin suddenly said she’s coming here, and she’s almost at the doorstep. You absolutely can’t let her see or she’ll know we’re living together, and then…”

“Ah!” Liang Xiaohan was full of anger at first, but hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across her face.

“Hurry up and put on some clothes and hide in your room!” Hao Jian urged.

After hearing this, the anger in Liang Xiaohan’s mind was immediately overshadowed. Hao Jian had already rushed out, and she hurriedly grabbed a bathrobe, wrapped it around her, ran out with wet hair, and dashed towards her room.

Perhaps because she was too nervous, the bathrobe wasn’t wrapped tightly enough, and with her swift movements, it came down just as she emerged in front of Hao Jian. Right there, in front of Hao Jian, it slipped off, revealing her flawless skin.

Seeing this, Hao Jian almost had a nosebleed.

Liang Xiaohan was instantly dumbfounded. She froze for a moment, hurriedly picked up the bathrobe, wrapped it around herself, and dashed into the bathroom, moving so quickly that Hao Jian couldn’t get a clear look.

“Bang!” The bathroom door was tightly shut.

Hao Jian was stunned, thinking, it’s not like I haven’t seen it before. Why act so tense? Seriously, it’s not the first time.

However, there’s no room for her to think much about that now.

“I’m at your door.” Zhang Danlin said.

“Knock, knock, knock!” Just as Zhang Danlin’s message appeared, there came a knocking sound at the door.

Hao Jian dared not hesitate and quickly ran to shut the bathroom door, then rushed to the entrance, steadied himself, and opened the door.

Standing before Zhang Danlin, Hao Jian was once again calm and composed.

The moment the door opened, Zhang Danlin flashed a smile at Hao Jian: “Hi! Good evening!”

“Good evening!” Hao Jian smiled back.

Though his face wore a smile, his mind was a different story.

Soon after, Zhang Danlin entered uninvited.

“Have a seat.” Hao Jian said.

She then sat down on the sofa, and Hao Jian also took a seat.

Suddenly, the situation became quiet.

Hao Jian then said, “You mentioned you have something to say, right? Go ahead, after that I’m going to bed.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Danlin showed a hint of disappointment.

“Can’t you stay up a little later since I’m here?” she asked.

Hao Jian paused, thinking, I can stay up later if I have to, but since you’re here now, I can’t have you stay long. If you have something to say, just say it quickly.

He replied, “I’ve had a long and tiring day, I’m exhausted. If you hadn’t come, I would have been asleep by now.”
