Chapter 30: Trapped in the Room

  "Police checking rooms?" Xie Feiyu hung up the phone, remembering what the lady said at registration about "sweeping yellow and fighting against non-licensed businesses". "Let them check, I don't do anything illegal like prostitution or gambling, what's there to be afraid of?" Xie Feiyu drowsily turned around and headed towards the bed.

  "What's going on?" Lan Xiang also woke up and asked.

  "It's nothing, they said the police are coming to inspect the house, maybe it's some kind of activity? By the way, did you bring your ID?"

  "There is, in the interlayer of that wallet, you take a look, I'll sleep for a while." Lan Xing said with a yawn.

  Xie Feiyu suddenly felt a chill run down his body, looked down and saw that he was naked, the bath towel still in bed. Xie Feiyu broke out in a cold sweat, rushed into the bathroom, touched his clothes, feeling still a bit damp, but couldn't care less, picked them up and put them on anyway.

  The sound of "knock knock knock" rang out.

  "So fast? The police's efficiency in checking rooms seems to be a bit too high, right? It's only been a short while and they're already at my 406?" Xie Feiyu guessed that they must have come from the fourth floor, but there was no reason for them to be so quick. He felt puzzled, but still opened the door.

  "Captain Shangguan, how could it be you?" Seeing the person who came, Xie Feiyu was greatly surprised. Wasn't this Shangguan Tong, with whom he had dealt twice before?

  "Xie Feiyu, it's really you. I saw your registered name downstairs and came up to take a look." Shangguan Tong was dressed in police uniform, which made him look even more majestic and handsome in the morning light.

  "What? Not welcome?" Xie Feiyu just stared blankly at himself, not showing any intention of letting him in, and Shangguan Tong asked.

  When he heard this, Xie Feiyu swiftly flashed out of the door and slammed it shut behind him. Shangguan Tong had met Lan Yin before and knew she was his teacher; if she saw Lan Yin sleeping on the bed, he would be tongue-tied even with a thousand mouths. What's more, Xie Feiyu was worried that Lan Yin would lose face.

  "Hey, it seems like there's really something fishy going on inside. Is that right?" Upper Official Tong looked at Xie Feiyu with a playful gaze, who was blocking the doorway.

  "Director-General Shang, considering our familiarity with each other, why don't you just not go in? Yuan Hao likes to sleep a lot, and if he sees you, it'll tarnish your noble eyesight." Xie Feiyu said with a smile.

  "Isn't the person inside that little fatty Yuan Hao, rather than some woman?" Shangguan Tong asked with a smile.

  "Absolutely not, don't you believe me?" Xie Feiyu smiled apologetically.

  "Do you believe me? You'd better not!" Officer Tang's smile disappeared, and he said seriously: "Get out of the way, I need to go in. I certainly can't lead by example and bend the law for personal gain!"

  "Not a chance, absolutely not." Xie Feiyu stood with his hands spread wide, stubbornly blocking the entrance.

  "Let it go, even if you don't want to!" Officer Tang suddenly lifted her leg and kicked towards Xie Feiyu's groin. Xie Feiyu was shocked - is this a female police officer? She's more like a female thug! If she had actually hit him, his life would have been ruined. His hands instinctively went down to block the kick.

  But before he could even react, Shangguan Tong's body suddenly flashed and dodged past Xie Feiyu, twisting the doorknob and pushing the door open with a loud "bang".

  "Ah..." Xie Feiyu only then realized he had been deceived. Thinking of Lan Xin on the bed, Xie Feiyu's face turned ashen. It was all over.

  "Thank you, Fei Yu!" Shangguan Tong shouted from inside.

  It's all over, let's get this over with. Xie Fei Yu couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart as he hung his head and followed them in.

  "Captain Shang, we're innocent, we didn't do anything." Xie Feiyu explained.

  "What's wrong with you? I didn't even ask you anything! What are you explaining so anxiously?"

  "But we really didn't do anything."

  "Alright, no more explanations, where is he?"

  Who? What person? Xie Feiyu was startled and looked up to see that Lan Xin's figure had indeed disappeared from the bed. Xie Feiyu let out a sigh of relief, glanced at the locked bathroom door, and said: "She was just on the bed earlier, probably went to the toilet. Yuan Hao, this kid's biggest characteristic is that he can eat and poop, every morning when he gets up, he must run to the toilet."

  "Are you saying that the person in this toilet is that little fatty?"

  "Yes, of course it is. Who else could it be? If you don't believe me, you can open the door and take a look. However, that kid's fart stinks terribly, so you'd better prepare yourself."

  "Is that so? Let him stink then, I'll just ask and it'll be clear." Xiang Guan Tong said with a sly smile, then loudly called out: "People inside listen up, the police are checking rooms, anyone make a sound!"

  After waiting for a while, it was quiet inside.

  "Is anyone there?" Officer Tong knocked on the door again, but there was still no sound from inside.

  "Why doesn't he say anything?" Shangguan Tong turned his head and asked Xie Feiyu.

  "Oh, this kid likes listening to songs while using the toilet, it's an old habit."

  Shangguan Tong fixed his gaze on Xie Feiyu, staring at him until he felt a chill run down his spine, before slowly opening his mouth to say: "You little scoundrel's reaction is quite quick, you don't even bat an eyelid when telling lies."

  "Captain Shang, I didn't lie! It's all true."

  "Alright, I'll leave you alone then." Shangguan Tong's mood seemed to drop suddenly, and he turned to walk towards the door. "This Yuan Hao kid has a pretty unique hobby, actually liking to carry a small female-style bag."

  Looking at the small package on the table, Xie Feiyu broke out in a cold sweat. How could he have forgotten this?

  "And be nicer to Ou Yang Yan!" Shang Guan Tong said as he walked to the door and turned his head back.

  "Oh." Xie Feiyu knew that Shangguan Tong had mistakenly thought that the person in the bathroom was Ouyang Yan, but he didn't know how to explain it either. Anyway, being mistaken for Ouyang Yan was much better than knowing it was Lanxin. After all, students dating each other were more acceptable than a teacher-student romance.

  "By the way, there's something else. I heard that the Black Tiger Gang was challenged yesterday and even their young master Lu Hao was beaten up. Now they're searching for the culprit all over the streets. You love to fight so much, be careful."

  After seeing off Shang Guantong, Xie Feiyu finally let out a sigh of relief, tightly closing the door and inserting the latch. Only then did he walk to the bathroom door and gently knock on it. "Lan Xiang, it's okay now, you can come out."

  The bathroom door opened and Lan Xiang came out with a cold face. "Call me Teacher Lan!"

  Xie Feiyu, what's going on? How did things change so suddenly?

  "Lan Xiang, what's wrong with you? Didn't we agree that when there are no other people around, I would call you Lan Xiang?"

  "What was agreed upon? You are my student and I am your teacher, apart from that, we don't have a single penny's worth of relationship!" Lan Xing's tone remained cold.

  "Lan Xiang, what's wrong with you? You can't just wear clothes and deny everything?"

  "What's going on? What kind of 'wearing clothes and not recognizing the account' is this? You've already got Ouyang Yan, what are you doing coming to bother me?" Lan Xing's voice suddenly had a slightly hoarse tone.

  Xie Feiyu was taken aback, it turned out that the words spoken by Shangguan Tong earlier had reached her ears, and she was actually jealous. Xie Feiyu secretly rejoiced in her heart, if she could be jealous for herself, it proved that she still cared about him, there's hope.

  Xie Feiyu quickly moved forward, embracing Lan Xiang in his arms, and dense kisses fell on her face like raindrops. Only when he felt her breathing a bit hurried did he launch a general attack on her small mouth.

  After being completely bewildered, Xie Feiyu slightly lifted her head and looked at Lan Xin with gentle eyes: "Xin'er, I like you, can't you feel it? Ouyang Yan is just a misunderstanding, what's the relationship between Ouyang Yan and me, can't you see? Shangguan Tong has only seen me a few times, what does she know?"

  "Alright. I feel like Captain Shang is being especially nice to you... are you two..."

  Xie Feiyu hastily covered Lan Xiang's mouth and said with a bitter face, "Xiang'er, if you suspect me like this again, I'll die?"

  "Hehe, just kidding? Let's clean up and head back." Lan Xing pulled on Xie Feiyu's neck, tiptoed, and lightly pecked his lips: "Mwah".
