Chapter 103: The Two Beauties Collide

  The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Qi Linglong's heart suddenly felt a little strange. She had always thought that Qin Lang made this bet just because he couldn't bear to directly agree to her divorce, so he used this clever trick to make the divorce less embarrassing.

  Now, however, Qin Lang was really studying hard at home, which suddenly made her realize that her previous thoughts were all wishful thinking. It turned out that this guy actually treated the bet as a top priority.

  "Could it be that this guy really intends to marry me? But... wasn't he indifferent to me before?"

  Qī Línglóng had a nagging feeling, an inexplicable sense of unease spreading in her heart. It was as if she enjoyed the feeling of being valued, yet feared that Qín Lǎng would truly surpass her, and from then on, she would really become this guy's fiancée.

  She was so entangled for a while, until that aunt called out a few times, and finally woke up Qi Linglong.

  "Alright, you young people's business, I won't interfere. You girl be patient a bit, that boy has a good foundation, as long as you give him the chance, he will definitely surprise you in the future. Hmph, not saying anymore, I'll continue my stroll." With that, the auntie walked away leisurely.

  Qī Línglóng shrugged and continued to knock on the door. With the help of the middle-aged woman's words, this time Qī Línglóng seemed to be particularly patient, even if there was no response from inside for a long time, she didn't show any intention of giving up, apparently determined that Qin Lang was inside.

  In the courtyard, Qin Lang had already entered a critical moment, and the great success of his tendons was imminent. However, just at this critical moment, someone outside the door kept knocking and pounding on the door, making it impossible for him to focus his attention completely.

  "Damn it, who is this? If I were in a past life with my temper, anyone daring to disturb me at a time like this would have to pay with their life."

  Qin Lang opened his eyes with a hint of anger, although he could focus his mind, but after all, his current physical state couldn't keep up with the rhythm of his spirit, and he couldn't truly remain unmoved by external things. Just like this way of knocking on the door, Qin Lang would inevitably be disturbed unless he completely shut down his perception.

  Now is the crucial moment for tempering one's will, and it is impossible to completely close the five senses. So for now, we can only stop that annoying guy outside from making a move.

  "Who's there?!"

  Qin Lang shouted in an unpleasant tone outside the palace gate.

  As soon as he shouted, Qi Linglong outside the door became excited. Having knocked until now without opening the door, Qi Linglong had already begun to doubt Grandma's words a bit, wondering if Qin Lang was really in the yard, and now she finally got Qin Lang's response, giving her a sense of not letting down those who were determined.

  "It's me." Qi Lingling immediately responded, and then shouted: "Qin Lang, what are you doing in the house? Hurry up and open the door, my hands are numb from knocking!"

  "The key is on the door frame, you can open it yourself." Qin Lang's voice came over.

  Qī Línglóng scrunched up her little nose, hummed softly, and pouted: "Stinky guy, the framework isn't small at all. Not only didn't he open the door for me, but also made me find the key myself to open it. Fine, I'll take a look and see what kind of tricks you're playing inside the house."

  She did find the key on the door frame and easily opened the courtyard gate.

  As soon as the door opened, Qi Linglong was startled by the scene in the courtyard.

  The two large wooden barrels in the courtyard, as well as the mist condensing on one of them, and the blurry but familiar face within the mist, all seemed to be telling Qi Linglong that Qin guy, who had been dragging his feet and refusing to open the door, was actually hiding in the courtyard taking a bath.

  "Heavens, does this guy have a habit of sunbathing?"

  Qī Línglóng's heart was speechless for a moment, and the girl's reserve made her subconsciously want to avoid her.

  But thinking that I've been knocking on the door for so long, Qin Lang is actually taking a bath in the yard, but it wasn't until now that he responded, suddenly feeling annoyed.

  Goodbye, she opened the door herself, but Qin Lang in the barrel didn't even say a word of greeting. He was motionless in the barrel, not looking like he was shy either. She suddenly got angry.

  In her anger, she forgot her reserve. She simply didn't care about the gate and walked straight into the courtyard.

  "Hey, Qin Lang, what do you mean? My hands are about to slap together! You old man, can't you just respond a little earlier? How much effort does it take?" About three or four meters away from the wooden bucket, Qi Linglong finally stopped in her tracks, but she questioned Qin Lang, who was shrouded in mist.

  Unfortunately, Qin Lang in the barrel did not give her any response.

  Her words were like asking the air.

  "Hey, I'm talking to you!" Qi Lingling stomped her foot in annoyance. If it were one of those girls with princess syndrome, she would have probably stormed off by now.

  Ke Liling, although a rich family's daughter, didn't have any princess syndrome. After not getting Qin Lang's response for two consecutive times, she suddenly felt tense in her heart.

  "Qin Lang, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" she asked anxiously towards the bucket.

  Qin Lang in the barrel still didn't speak, but his head slightly nodded.

  This action was captured by Qi Linglong, and finally let this girl put down her mind. She also realized that Qin Lang at this moment seemed a bit strange, but where the strangeness lay, she couldn't say it out loud. It was just an ordinary bath, but it didn't seem like that's all it was.

  It was this thought that emerged, making Qi Ling lose a few points of her intention to question Qin Lang.

  Seeing Qin Lang's expression of not wanting to talk, she didn't want to continue dragging things out with him either.

  Today she came to Qin Lang's place because it has been a long time since she saw Qin Lang show up at school. Anyway, she had said before that she wanted to make friends with Qin Lang, so out of concern for her friend, she thought she'd come and take a look at Qin Lang, and also get a sense of what this guy's situation is like lately.

  In addition, the school is planning a trip during the May Day holiday to relax and relieve the pressure of the college entrance examination for third-year high school students, so she happened to come and inform Qin Lang.

  "Qin Lang, you haven't been to school for a long time. Taking such a long leave of absence, although with the teacher's approval, is not entirely good for you after all. So it's best if you return to school as soon as possible, this will be somewhat helpful to our bet and your winning odds."

  Qī Línglóng exhorted.

  But when it comes to betting, I couldn't help but feel a little insincere.

  "By the way, our school is organizing a trip for us third-year high school students during the Labor Day holiday, which will be the last school-organized trip of our entire high school career. You can't miss it."

  After muttering to herself for a while, Qi Linglong finally managed to convey her intentions clearly and was about to take her leave.

  Just at this moment, the medicine mist that had been swirling around Qin Lang's head in the barrel suddenly changed. All the medicines seemed to be guided and condensed into a stream, which rushed straight into Qin Lang's Baihui point on his head.

  This strange change was captured by Qi Linglong, but it surprised this girl, completely bewildered about what had happened.

  Fortunately, it was just a change in the fog, and nothing more absurd happened. Otherwise, this girl would have thought that Qin Lang had been possessed by a ghost.

  Not to mention the good show in this courtyard, on the other hand, that big mom who had just spoken to Qi Linglong, after saying goodbye to Qi Linglong, continued to stroll along the alley.

  Before long, they bumped into a passerby head-on.

  "Auntie, I'd like to ask you something personal. You also live in Nanchen Alley, don't you know exactly where it is?" the newcomer asked with a smile.

  The old lady looked up and suddenly her eyes lit up, just now she saw a little fairy-like girl, and in the blink of an eye another girl who was not inferior to her appeared.

  Bai Wumo was sized up by the woman from head to toe, and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She thought to herself, "I'm just asking for directions, why is this woman looking at me like that?"
