Tomb raiding: A mere 20 is nothing!

Qi Qiu slept for three hours straight.

At first, Shen Mingchao was also worried that something might go wrong, and considered whether or not to send the person to the hospital.

Wang Can meant: It's all up to fate; it's better to die.

Zhang Haixia was more professional. She took her pulse and told her that her pulse was normal and there shouldn't be any major problems, so she didn't need to worry too much.

She decided to trust Zhang Haixia's character.

But hasn't he been in a coma for a little too long?

Even Zhang Haixia, who had said Qi Qiu was fine, couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Is he here to catch up on sleep?"

Holding a glass of ice water, Wang Can replied, "I told you to throw a bucket of cold water on him, it would wake him up, but you wouldn't let me."

He pursed his lips, suppressing the restless desire in his heart, and finally tilted his head back to take a sip.

Upon hearing this, Shen Mingchao couldn't help but sigh.

How could she not know Wang Can?

It wasn't about waking Qi Qiu up; it was purely about getting revenge on her love rival.

She leaned against the sofa armrest, resting her elbows on it, her hand on her chin, and looked down at Qi Qiu, who was lying flat on the sofa.

The boy slept soundly, his delicately sculpted face flushed with a sickly blush. He lay quietly on the sofa, like a fragile porcelain doll.

When a person has free time, they tend to overthink.

The scene before him always made Shen Mingchao hallucinate as Sleeping Beauty.

...A prince passing by the palace discovered the sleeping princess and couldn't help but kiss her. The princess miraculously awoke, the two married, and lived happily ever after...

A kiss is comparable to a medical miracle.

Fairy tales are beautiful, but unfortunately she's grown up now.

Shen Mingchao shook her head, trying to clear her mind of the jumbled thoughts. She turned around, ready to leave, when a hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"Don't go..."

Whispers as soft as mosquitoes reached her ears.

She was slightly taken aback.

Subconsciously thinking that Qi Qiu had woken up, I turned my head to look, only to find that Qi Qiu's eyes were still closed, but her state was no longer peaceful and quiet as before. Instead, her brows were furrowed, her face was distorted with discomfort, and she was muttering incoherently.

She leaned closer to listen.

It's a phrase: "Please."

Qi Qiu pleaded, in an extremely humble manner, begging people not to leave.

Seeing this, Shen Mingchao fell silent.

"Hey—" Upon seeing this, Wang Can jumped up and down: "I said, you little brat, were you awake early and pretending to be asleep to be a pervert? Mingchao, ignore him, I'll just throw him out the door."

Even Zhang Haixia, who is usually mild-mannered, was now expressionless and silent.

Seeing Wang Can stride aggressively towards him, Shen Mingchao hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "Um..."

"Why don't we let him hold it for a while?"

She still felt a pang of pity.

Ultimately, she also bears some responsibility for this curse.

This person is unconscious. Just hold their hand for a while to help them regain their strength. There shouldn't be any major problems, right?

The thought had barely formed when a rapid doorbell rang from the entrance hall.

The three of them were all taken aback, exchanged glances, and Shen Mingchao spoke first: "You ordered takeout?"

Wang Can and Zhang Haixia both shook their heads.

That would be strange.

Who else could it be?

Shen Mingchao immediately opened his phone with his other hand, and just as he was about to open the software for monitoring the surveillance outside the door, two messages popped up at the right time:

[Ming Dynasty, I've arrived at your doorstep]

[Please open the door~]

It turned out to be Li Cu.

Why did this guy show up uninvited?

Shen Mingchao was slightly surprised, yet felt it made sense.

Given Li Cu's personality, her reaction to that post on WeChat Moments would definitely be intense; she was prepared to be bombarded with messages.

The result was quiet and peaceful.

Shen Mingchao was quite surprised when he didn't receive a message from Li Cu at first, thinking that Li Cu was busy with something and didn't have time to check his phone. He didn't expect that this message would be such a big surprise.

They appeared right at her doorstep from Beijing!

Without even thinking, she immediately replied: "[Brother, you skipped class again?]"

Li Cu: [None]

[Ming Dynasty, today is Saturday, and tomorrow is May Day. I was planning to come see you during the holiday.]

[I just couldn't wait any longer (cat smiling.jpg)]

[I was in such a rush last time that I didn't even get to visit your house (sighing cat.jpg)]

[Oh, and I also brought some flower cakes that Mom made (cat with starry eyes.jpg)]

A barrage of messages came in.

Seeing the words "flower cake" warmed Shen Mingchao's heart.

"Who's here?" The one who spoke was Zhang Haixia. He had a guess in his mind after seeing Shen Mingchao's expression.

Shen Mingchao truthfully replied, "Yes, he's my brother."

"Li Cu."

Zhang Haixia remained calm, showing no surprise.

Wang Can's face darkened: "Damn it! We haven't even finished dealing with one, and another one has arrived?!"

It was an old acquaintance of his.

A dark glint flashed in his eyes as he turned to Shen Mingchao and asked, "I've fought quite a few times with this guy. He's not a weakling like Qi Qiu. Beating him up wouldn't be considered bullying the weak. I should be able to settle things with force, right?"

Shen Mingchao: "..."

Who can understand the helplessness of watching someone with the face of an absolute beauty spouting nothing but fighting and killing?

Actually, she didn't think fighting hurt feelings. Although solving problems with violence is not advisable, sometimes no matter how clearly you explain things, it's useless; fists are the only true solution.

Given their current situation and their personalities, peaceful coexistence is simply impossible, and conflict is highly likely inevitable.

She could only offer a word of advice: "If you really have to fight, you'd better change your martial arts style, otherwise I'm afraid he'll recognize you."

Knowing that Shen Mingchao had agreed, Wang Can's lips curled into a wicked smile: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I won't cause any deaths."

Shen Mingchao: "..."

Can't this person even think about obeying the law?

After the two finished speaking, Zhang Haixia, who was closest to the door, understood Shen Mingchao's meaning and asked, "Shall I go open the door?"

Shen Mingchao nodded slightly.

She wanted to know why Li Chu had come looking for her.

How could it be such a simple reason as the May Day holiday? And why would they come to our door without even giving us a heads-up?

There's always a feeling that a storm is brewing.

But since she has chosen to go public, she will not hide anything.

Moreover, since Qi Qiu has already been let in, there's no reason to keep others out.
