After taking out his phone, Hao Jian immediately opened WeChat and brought up the chat interface with Fatty, ready to speak. Seeing this, Weiwei couldn’t sit still. If Hao Jian told Song Shuhang about all this, given Song Shuhang’s nature, once he knows, there’s no way he would keep his mouth shut. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

It’s certain that if Song Shuhang finds out, Hao Jian wouldn’t need to spread the news again; the whole class would immediately know about it.

So, Weiwei couldn’t sit still anymore and tried to grab Hao Jian’s phone. Naturally, Hao Jian wasn’t going to let her succeed; he dodged in one swift move and smirked at Weiwei while pretending to continue sending messages. Weiwei was furious, stomped her foot, and ran over to him, wanting another attempt to snatch the phone from his hands.

She absolutely couldn’t let Hao Jian tell Song Shuhang about these things, or the impact would simply be too great. And since Hao Jian was deliberately trying to annoy her, there was no way he would let her take the phone. With Hao Jian’s skill level, if he didn’t want someone to take something from his hand, could anyone actually manage to do it?

That’s why Weiwei attempted to snatch the phone two or three times, but each time ended in failure. At one point, she even almost missed completely and fell to the ground. However, Hao Jian caught her in time, preventing her from falling, though she didn’t plan on forgiving him for it.

The two remained at an impasse. Weiwei understood that since Hao Jian had the strength to scare off so many people without sustaining a scratch, it meant his skills were far beyond ordinary. So, after thinking it through carefully, she realized it was clearly impossible to snatch the phone from Hao Jian’s hands.

But if she didn’t snatch it, and just let Hao Jian send the message out, that was even less acceptable. Thus, she continued to confront Hao Jian, even though she couldn’t snatch his phone, at least she could prevent him from sending the message, right?

Suddenly, Hao Jian stood up. As he stood, she still tried to grab the phone, but even on tiptoe she couldn’t reach it. Her height was considered tall for a girl, definitely outstanding among females, and even taller than most males.

However, in front of Hao Jian, her height offered no advantage at all, compared to him. When Hao Jian stood up, even on tiptoe, she only reached below his shoulder. Even raising her hand while Hao Jian did the same made it naturally impossible for her to grab the phone from him.

At this point, she was already quite frantic. Hao Jian, on the other hand, was smiling cheerfully, pretending to type a message to Fatty.

Weiwei looked on with anger, especially since Hao Jian was using his height as leverage, and she found herself helplessly outmatched by his stature, feeling particularly frustrated. If she merely watched as Hao Jian finished editing the message and sent it, she might just go crazy.

But for now, aside from watching helplessly, there wasn’t anything else she could do. Her internal struggle was intense, torn between agreeing with Hao Jian and watching him send the message. Finally, just as Hao Jian seemed ready to press send, she made up her mind.

"Stop!" she said. "I’ll take a shower, okay? If I take a shower, then you can’t talk about this to anyone, or else you’ll be in deep trouble."

Weiwei’s last words were practically a threat, boiling with anger. Upon hearing her words, Hao Jian instantly smiled. Excellent, this is exactly the outcome he wanted; he wanted to see Weiwei forced to do something, which made him happy. Like earlier when he asked why she hadn’t showered, and as she didn’t answer, fine, he’d coercively make her go shower.

Forcing Weiwei to do something she didn’t want was indeed a delight for him. Seeing her finally crack and agree to his demand to shower made him exceedingly happy—truly satisfying.

However, just as he was about to speak mockingly, Weiwei suddenly spoke assertively, "Isn’t it true that if I take a shower you won’t make fun of me anymore? You won’t tell the class about this? You just want to force me to do something against my will, and that makes you happy, doesn’t it."

Hao Jian didn’t expect Weiwei to read his mind. Otherwise, why are women said to be such frightening creatures? At least in reading minds, they seem much better than men, plus their intuition is terrifyingly strong. So, upon hearing this, Hao Jian involuntarily displayed a surprised expression, then remained silent, just looking at Weiwei.

Weiwei paused for a moment and then said, "Alright, I admit you win. I can take a shower, and then you won’t mock me anymore?"

Hao Jian really didn’t understand why getting her to shower seemed like such a big deal to her. He couldn’t understand it at all—aren’t women supposed to love cleanliness more? Loving cleanliness should mean loving showers more, shouldn’t it? But why did making Weiwei shower seem like it tortured her?

He really couldn’t figure it out, so he decided not to think about it. Instead, he looked at Li Weiwei and replied very sincerely, "Yeah! Forcing you to take a bath makes me really happy. Making you do something you don’t want to do is simply delightful. Plus, a man’s word is his bond—if I say I won’t tell, I won’t tell."

In fact, how could Hao Jian possibly spread today’s events? He was just trying to frighten Li Weiwei. He had some principles and would never tell so many people in the class about these things with Li Weiwei.

When Li Weiwei heard this, she seemed to make a life-altering decision, gritting her teeth before finally saying, "Fine, I’ll go take a bath, but before I do, you have to turn around and promise not to turn back until I’m done and permit you to do so. Otherwise, you’ll lose your... ability and that thing will be ’down and out’ forever!"

Upon hearing this, Hao Jian was immediately stunned. Did Li Weiwei really say this? Why did it sound so unlike her? But judging by her expression, she seemed serious, as if she had thought it over carefully before speaking. So, he was simply taken aback.

He really couldn’t understand, it’s just taking a bath, after all. Besides, they’re in the same room, not the same bathroom. The door would be shut and locked, so how could he possibly peek? The more he thought about it, the more absurd it seemed. What’s up with Li Weiwei? Could it be that she’s still not sober from getting drunk?

He didn’t answer, and Li Weiwei kept staring at him. Baffled, he finally replied, "Okay okay, I definitely won’t turn around. Otherwise, I’ll lose a man’s ability just like you said."

After saying this, he gave Li Weiwei a side-eye, and only then did she show a satisfied expression.

"Turn around!" Li Weiwei said sternly.

Hao Jian helplessly shook his head, then brought over a chair, turned around, and sat back-to-back with Li Weiwei. At first, he thought he was forcing Li Weiwei to do something she didn’t want to do, which made him happy. But now it seemed like the real winner was Li Weiwei.

After all, she managed to make him do something he didn’t quite understand but had to do even while being coerced. Truly, she was the ultimate winner.

But he didn’t want to deal with it anymore. Just making Li Weiwei take a bath and do what she didn’t want to do was enough to make him extremely happy. He didn’t want to bother with anything else and only thought about standing under the air conditioning to get his clothes dry and then hurry home.

"Don’t forget what you just promised—don’t turn around!" Li Weiwei emphasized again.

"Got it!" Hao Jian replied with a grin.

After speaking, Li Weiwei cautiously walked into the bathroom. Before finally going in, she looked back at Hao Jian several times to make sure he had no intention of turning around; otherwise, she’d end this quickly. Seeing that Hao Jian had no intention of turning around, she finally went into the bathroom.

She knew that once she started taking a bath, people outside could see everything inside. Despite believing that Hao Jian would keep his word and not turn around, she still felt a bit uneasy. So she pulled some bath towels and hung them on the glass, hoping to block some of the view. Although it didn’t really block much, it was better than nothing.

From outside, you could hear the sound of water flowing when she started showering, so shortly after going inside, she turned on the shower and began to bathe.

Hao Jian sat outside and knew Li Weiwei had started bathing when he heard the sound of water flowing. But all of this had nothing to do with him. If he hadn’t promised Li Weiwei, he would’ve wanted to lie down on the bed because he was a bit tired.

However, slowly, listening to the sound of water from the bathroom, a vivid image began to form in his mind—an image that left much to the imagination.
