I Want To Move In Next Door-Chapter 1093 - 1090: Favored with a Smile (2)
Following the introduction by classmate Han Yixiao, Zhang Cheng entered Han Yixiao’s dormitory.
Zhang Cheng, dressed in a suit and shoes, had a dignified and upright appearance. Coupled with the aura he cultivated from years in the workplace, he attracted the attention of many female students along the way.
For Zhang Cheng, this type of scene was nothing unusual since Han Jingnian was the kind of person who always stood out wherever he went. However, this time the focus was on him. Thus, upon entering Han Yixiao’s dormitory, his first reaction was to close the door, cutting off the line of sight from the crowd.
"It’s in this washroom..." The female classmate leading Zhang Cheng in pointed to the washroom door.
Zhang Cheng nodded, stepped forward, and turned the doorknob. The door was locked from the inside by Han Yixiao, so Zhang Cheng had no choice but to knock on the door: "Xiaoxiao, it’s me."
There was no response from inside.
After half a minute, Zhang Cheng spoke again: "Xiaoxiao, please open the door. If there’s anything, come out and talk to me, okay?"
Still, silence prevailed inside.
Unable to bear it, Han Yixiao’s classmate voiced her concern: "Could Han Yixiao be in trouble inside?"
As the silence dragged on, Zhang Cheng grew more anxious. Hearing such words, his frown deepened, and he knocked on the door with less courtesy than usual: "Xiaoxiao, I know you can hear me speaking, and you know who I am. I’ve come specially to check on you. Can you please open the door?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
This time, Zhang Cheng didn’t wait long before speaking again: "I’ll wait for you for ten seconds. If you don’t open it, I’ll have to open the door in my own way..."
With that, Zhang Cheng began to count down: "Ten, nine, eight..."
When he reached "two," Zhang Cheng stepped back two steps, ready to kick the door as he counted to "one," but just then, he heard the soft sound of footsteps near the washroom door.
He paused his kicking motion, stared at the door for approximately three seconds, and then with a light click, the door was opened.
Han Yixiao, in a light pink dress, came shuffling out of the washroom.
As soon as her figure entered Zhang Cheng’s field of view, Assistant Zhang Te immediately noticed the burn blisters on her arm.
Zhang Te’s complexion turned unsightly in an instant. He strode forward, took hold of Han Yixiao’s hand, examined the blisters for a moment, and then led her back into the washroom. Turning on the faucet, he began to rinse the burns with cold water: "How did you get burnt like this?"
"Does it hurt?"
"Did you rinse it with cold water just now?"
Faced with a barrage of questions from Zhang Te, Han Yixiao looked at his side profile, concentrated on her arm, lifted the corners of her lips slightly, and then, when he looked at her, she immediately stopped smiling and shook her head slowly.
"Forget it, I’ll take you to Xie Lin to have your wound treated, to prevent infection... And with such a large area, to avoid any scarring, which wouldn’t look good..." While speaking, Zhang Te led Han Yixiao out of the washroom: "Do you have any important classes this afternoon? Do you need me to help you get a leave of absence? Also, remember to take your phone and bag..."
Under the careful inquiry of Zhang Te, Han Yixiao’s classmate offered to notify the teacher for Han Yixiao, and only then did Zhang Te, carrying Han Yixiao’s backpack in one hand and holding her hand with the other, leave the dormitory building under the watchful eyes of a crowd of curious female students.
