Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!-Chapter 222: Familiar Bathtub Patterns!
Not too big, not too small, a weighty object, comfortable to hold in the hand.
Song Anjing’s small face and Dongju’s petals were both filled with bright, satisfied smiles.
This night.
Qin Xin slept uneasily.
She hadn’t had a dream in a long time, and this night she had a long nightmare!
She seemed trapped in the nightmare, unable to escape.
Until...
She turned her face, trying to see the man’s features, and caught a glimpse of the large angel pattern carved on the bathtub’s edge, and the expensive vintage silver faucet above the bathtub...
She jolted awake!
She had seen this bathtub before.
And it seemed she had just seen it, had come into contact with it not long ago!
That familiar pattern, familiar texture of the faucet, even the placement of the bathtub...
In the dark, Qin Xin sat quietly on her small dorm bed, holding her blanket, her back covered in a thin layer of sweat.
Because she remembered where she had seen an identical bathtub.
It was in Mr. Nalan’s villa.
Just tonight, she had borrowed it, taken a shower, and changed clothes.
At the time she was a bit shy and nervous, and hadn’t paid much attention to the bathroom’s layout.
But when the dream recreated itself, the familiarity of that bathroom hit her face on!
Why would she dream of Mr. Nalan’s bathroom?
Who was that man, so rough and completely unlike the gentlemanly Mr. Nalan?
Was this dream a premonition?
Or... had it actually happened?
Why couldn’t she remember any of it?
The mystery in Qin Xin’s heart deepened, and sleep was out of the question.
＝＝
After a night of nightmares, Qin Xin woke up with a dark face, feeling grumpy.
Even in the classroom during self-study, her expression didn’t improve.
Ao Xinghao and the others saw the trending news had dropped, and no one dared to mention last night’s photo, all just deflecting topics.
"Sister Xin, I’ve organized the recent notes for you."
"Sister Xin, let’s go to the lab this afternoon to make a few dissection slides, the scholarship competition starts next week, keep it up!"
"Xin, do these two caterpillars I caught look like the ones you used to play with?"
Everyone was trying their best to draw Qin Xin’s attention away.
Suddenly.
Someone threw open the classroom door and shouted in a frenzy, "Sister Xin’s on the trending search!"
When they saw Qin Xin lifting her head from the last row, they realized their mistake and quickly covered their mouth.
Ao Xinghao said "damn" and glared at the person fiercely.
Then he turned back and gently said to Qin Xin, "Don’t pay attention to them... nothing’s going on... see, everything’s clean on Weibo..."
Last night he and Hu Yi set aside their differences and teamed up to gather resources to lower the trending topic, and later an even stronger force joined in to lower the heat, and now it’s almost impossible to find that ambiguous photo from the cinema online.
Except for that clueless "Art Daily"!
Who knew.
Qin Xin had already opened her phone, leaning her chin on her hand, seriously looking at the screen: "This photo’s taken pretty well this time..."
Ao Xinghao was momentarily stunned.
He quickly craned his neck to look.
And what he saw stunned him.
The picture that was boosted on Weibo wasn’t the one from last night’s cinema; it was taken late at night on the Imperial University campus!
This time, Qin Xin’s face was clearly visible!
With a dark green birthmark, her full face!
And next to Qin Xin, holding her arm in the photo, was a genuine "old man"!
Ao Xinghao’s face turned green instantly.
Without saying anything, he immediately went out to make a phone call.
