The thief didn't say anything and prepared to escape.

Ling Ziqian brandished the wooden stick in his hand and smashed it at the thief who was holding a flashlight.

Upon seeing the wooden stick, the thief could not resist and could only shine the light of his flashlight into Ling Ziqian's eyes.

Snapped!

Su Mingxi successfully turned on the lights in the living room.

The thief's true colors were revealed; he was a thin, unshaven middle-aged man.

Su Mingxi exclaimed in surprise. She had seen the man moving around in the vicinity, but she never expected him to be a thief.

Upon seeing Ling Ziqian and Su Mingxi, the thief revealed a sinister smile, "Hehe, they're just two little devils, they scared me half to death."

He drew a dagger from his waist.

Ling Ziqian quickly swung the wooden stick at the thief, shouting, "So what if he's a brat? Haven't you heard of kids in charge?"

The wooden stick was about a meter long, while the thief's dagger was only ten centimeters long. He was so frightened that he quickly dodged.

Ling Ziqian wanted to use his "ambiguity value," but the sound of police sirens outside caused the thief to panic.

The thief was in a hurry to escape and had no intention of fighting back, so Ling Ziqian quickened his pace of attack.

The thief covered his head, ignoring the wooden stick Ling Ziqian was hitting him with, and quickly ran towards the stairwell.

Su Mingxi was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she quickly hid to the side.

"Will it be alright if I just cover my head?" Ling Ziqian gritted his teeth, steeled his resolve, swung the wooden stick, closed his eyes, and struck the thief's foot hard!

"Snap!" A strange sound rang out.

"Ah!" the thief cried out. He had just reached the top of the stairs when he lost his balance and tumbled down the stairs.

Worried that the thief would escape, Ling Ziqian quickly gave chase.

The thief didn't run away, or rather, he couldn't run away; he was clutching his broken leg and howling in pain.

The police heard the noise and came in. When they saw the thief, they immediately burst out laughing.

The thief was handcuffed and helped away by the police. A police captain patted Ling Ziqian on the shoulder and praised him for his good work.

The captain stated that the thief was a fugitive wanted online.

Su Mingxi came downstairs, and Ling Ziqian looked at her with a questioning gaze.

She shook her head, indicating that nothing had been stolen.

The police asked the two men a few questions, took a brief statement, and then left.

After closing the door, the two returned to the messy second floor, where Su Mingxi squatted down to pack a box.

Previously, Ling Ziqian was hit by a box thrown by a thief.

"Are you... are you alright?" Su Mingxi's face was flushed red. The box contained clothes, including underwear, which were now scattered on the ground and exposed to Ling Ziqian.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Ling Ziqian scratched his head awkwardly as he walked downstairs. "I'll go find someone to change the locks and change the lock on the living room door."

As Ling Ziqian walked downstairs, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Huan Yue seized the opportunity to complain, "I'm telling you, you should stay single forever. Just now, in the dark, it was so exciting and thrilling, and you didn't even take advantage of the opportunity."

"What opportunities should we seize?"

"Seize the opportunity to get a good deal!"

"..."

Chapter 59 You can sleep in my room tonight!

Too lazy to complain about Huan Yue, Ling Ziqian went to find someone to change the locks.

He glanced at his silver watch, which displayed 10 points of ambiguity.

Ling Ziqian didn't use any Ambiguity Points. In other words, he had collected nine Ambiguity Points while lingering in the dark.

Su Mingxi is a high-quality potential romantic partner, but we didn't collect many this time. After all, the encounter in the dark was quite dangerous and not ambiguous at all.

Huan Yue continued her incessant complaining, but Ling Ziqian completely ignored her.

Call the locksmith to come and replace the broken lock on the living room door.

Ling Ziqian paid the money, took the keys, and went upstairs.

The messy upstairs had been tidied up by Su Mingxi, and Ling Ziqian handed her the keys.

Taking the key, Su Mingxi thanked her softly.

Ling Ziqian looked around. "You must be traumatized by this. Why don't you stay at Xiao Rong's house tonight?"

Huan Yue immediately retorted, "Idiot, you should stay here with her for the night!"

Ignoring Huan Yue, Ling Ziqian smiled at Su Mingxi.

Su Mingxi nodded. She knew the girl would be scared if she stayed home alone tonight.

Ling Ziqian went downstairs first and went outside. Su Mingxi locked the door.

Huan Yue started yelling again. "You can't even take her back on your bike? I'll break up with you!"

Ling Ziqian really didn't have the energy to complain about this guy. "I would have done it even without you telling me!"

Su Mingxi closed the courtyard gate and saw Ling Ziqian sitting on her bicycle.

She blushed immediately and said nothing. She sat on the back of the bicycle, gently tugging at Ling Ziqian's clothes.

"Hold on tight." Ling Ziqian pedaled his bicycle forward.

I wasn't going fast. Riding a bicycle late at night, with a girl on the back, under the streetlights felt really nice.

Ling Ziqian didn't let his mind wander and focused on riding his bike.

Sitting in the back seat, Su Mingxi tilted her head slightly and looked at Ling Ziqian's messy hair being blown by the wind.

Su Mingxi knew of Ling Ziqian's existence from the moment she met Dou Xiaorong.

According to Dou Xiaorong's description, Su Mingxi knew that Ling Ziqian was a rather introverted homebody.

Perhaps fearing that she disliked Ling Ziqian, Dou Xiaorong never revealed what Ling Ziqian did in Class 12.

Until that day, Ling Ziqian entered Class 1 and was called by the math teacher to do some problems.

At that time, I knew that Ling Ziqian was a student in Class 12, and I didn't have any expectations for him. Unexpectedly, he made a big comeback and solved the problem on the blackboard.

After transferring to another class, he encountered Yang Wenxing, who swore at him, and was humiliated by Xu Jiachen on the basketball court...

A lot happened in just one week.

Watching Ling Ziqian's retreating figure, Su Mingxi realized that, without realizing it, she was slowly changing her opinion of him.

What kind of person is he?

He blushes when talking to girls, but becomes unusually bold when he feels he must do something.

After mentally summarizing the situation, Su Mingxi couldn't help but laugh.

She was laughing at herself, wondering when she had ever thought about a boy like that.

The two didn't say anything on the way, mainly because Ling Ziqian was too nervous and shy.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the residential compound, Ling Ziqian stopped the car and dialed Dou Xiaorong's number.

It was noisy on the other end of the phone; I could hear children's voices.

Dou Xiaorong had mentioned before that relatives had come to visit.

Now she tells Ling Ziqian that her relatives plan to stay, and a little girl wants to sleep with her.

Upon hearing Dou Xiaorong's words, Ling Ziqian did not tell her about Su Mingxi, so as not to worry her.

After hanging up the phone, Ling Ziqian looked at Su Mingxi and gave a somewhat awkward explanation.

"Well, you'll have to stay at my place for the night," Ling Ziqian said, scratching his head.

"Mmm." Su Mingxi replied with her head down. At this point, she didn't feel shy at all. On the contrary, she found it amusing to see Ling Ziqian looking even more embarrassed than her.

As Ling Ziqian walked home, he asked Huan Yue in his mind, "It's such a coincidence that Xiao Rong had relatives staying overnight. Is Hong Xian behind this?"

Huan Yue chuckled slyly, not answering Ling Ziqian's question, "Anyway, young man, seize the opportunity!"

We went upstairs together. It was already very late, and Yu Meiren and Cupid had already gone to bed.

Ling Ziqian went and knocked on Yu Meiren's room door.

"What's wrong?" The bedroom door opened, and Yu Meiren, dressed in her pajamas, peeked out with a sleepy head. Seeing Su Mingxi standing timidly in the living room, she immediately became excited and asked softly, "You brought Mingxi back?"

"It wasn't kidnapping, it's just that a thief broke into her house, so..." Ling Ziqian hurriedly explained.

"Take good care of them, I'm going to sleep." Yu Meiren gave a meaningful smile and closed the door.

Ling Ziqian was sweating profusely, inwardly thinking how amazing the red thread was.

In the past, Yu Meiren would have been worried about doing bad things, but now she actually lets herself do bad things!

In short, I told her about it, otherwise she would be startled if she saw Su Mingxi walking out of the room the next day.

While Su Mingxi was still waiting, Ling Ziqian walked over to her and said, "Um, you go take a shower first, I'll tidy up the guest room."

"I'll take care of it," Su Mingxi said, not wanting to trouble Ling Ziqian.

“That guest room is usually unoccupied and has been filled with all sorts of random things. You can’t clean it up.” Ling Ziqian gave an embarrassed smile.

Since that was the case, Su Mingxi did not insist. She took out a change of clothes and toiletries from her bag and went into the bathroom.

Ling Ziqian went into the guest room to tidy up, and not long after, a short scream came from the direction of the bathroom.

"What happened?" Ling Ziqian rushed to the bathroom door and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Su Mingxi's embarrassed voice came through, "The water heater isn't producing hot water, so it's probably out of gas."

The water heater in my home is a gas water heater, and it often runs out of gas while I'm taking a shower.

But the gas cylinder in the bathroom was just replaced not long ago, how could it have run out again?

Okay, it's the red thread causing trouble again!
