Is there something troubling you about in Chapter 12?
For this meeting, Lin Zhihao and Bai Bai arranged to meet in a private room at a hotel. This hotel is members-only and offers more privacy than other places.
"Miss Lin, I'm so sorry. I clearly remember hiding it in the secret compartment under the bed, but today when I was about to hide the last chapter of 'Ting Man' in there, I found that all the previous ones were gone." Bai Bai looked full of guilt.
“It must be because of you…” He Manman was about to speak when Lin Zhihao stopped her.
"Who do you think took it?" Lin Zhihao asked.
“I…I don’t know. Many relatives have come to my house these days. I don’t know who took it.”
Judging from Bai Bai's reaction, Lin Zhihao and He Manman both knew that she still trusted her husband and felt that he would not steal her manuscript.
Lin Zhihao didn't say much, because Bai Bai still trusted her husband. Without concrete evidence, she couldn't suspect him; in fact, she didn't completely trust them.
“It’s okay. As long as the manuscript is in your heart, you can always rewrite it.”
"By the way, before you wrote 'Ting Man,' have you written any other books that impressed you?"
"This..." Bai Bai hesitated.
"It's okay if you don't have it." Lin Zhihao smiled at Bai Baiwei.
"I do have one, but it's from a long time ago. I wrote it when I was in school, and it's probably still at my parents' house." Bai Bai blushed slightly, a little embarrassed. That book was written for her former crush; it contained all the girlish thoughts and feelings she had during her adolescence.
"Can you still find it now?"
"I can go back to my parents' home for a visit!"
"If possible, I would like to read this book."
"Ah! This...this..." Bai Bai hesitated. First, she wasn't sure if the book was still there, and second, she was embarrassed to share the book's content with others.
If Lin Zhihao hadn't suddenly asked her, she would have almost forgotten that she had written such a book.
"What's wrong? Is there something you're worried about?" He Manman asked. Although she was very anxious about "Ting Man", since Sister Lin asked about another book, it meant that this book was more valuable than "Ting Man".
"Sure!" Bai Bai said in a serious tone. After all, she had originally planned to sign a contract with the other party for "Ting Man". Now that the manuscript was gone, it only made up for a little bit of her guilt. And it was just a matter of looking at it.
After having dinner with Bai Bai, Lin Zhihao asked He Manman to wait for her in the private room, and then walked down the corridor to the restroom.
"Stop! Don't run." Lin Zhihao had just reached the door of the storage room.
Suddenly, I felt a force pulling me in.
"It's gone. Search it. It must be in one of these rooms nearby."
"Yes!"
The sound of running footsteps echoed in the corridor outside the door.
Meanwhile, Lin Zhihao, who was inside the door, was pulled inside, but the door was locked from the inside.
Lin Zhihao: ?
"If you don't speak, I'll let you go!" the man behind her said.
In response, Lin Zhihao delivered an elbow strike, and the man grunted as he released his grip on Lin Zhihao's hand.
Zhai Qingwen: How can such a young girl have such incredible energy...?
Lin Zhihao turned around and looked at the man in front of her. Hmm, she didn't recognize him.
After recovering, Zhai Qingwen looked up at the girl in front of him and paused for a second; how to describe those eyes? They seemed to hold a vast galaxy, clean and dazzling.
The man stood there, stunned.
Lin Zhihao's inner monologue: He's handsome, but unfortunately, he's an idiot.
Just as she was about to open the door and leave, the man suddenly grabbed her hand.
"No, please."
He pulled Lin Zhihao's hands to the doorknob, raised the corners of his mouth, and moved closer.
"Little sister, you're quite pretty. How about you stay here with your brother for a while?"
Looking at the magnified face in front of her, Lin Zhihao remained expressionless. Because of her frequent encounters with Shi Xingchen, she was no longer the Lin Zhihao she once was.
She is now, Niohuru Shi, looking at handsome men with an unchanging expression, Lin.
With a hard thrust of his forehead, the man cried out in pain and released his grip on Lin Zhihao's hands.
Lin Zhihao used great force, and the man's nose started bleeding.
Dong dong dong
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. It seemed that the group of people who were chasing the man had found the storage room. When they couldn't open the door, they were about to use force when they were stopped by the cleaning lady who happened to walk over.
"Who are you, and what are you doing?"
Seeing that people were coming over and that some people were even filming, they had no choice but to stop what they were doing.
"Auntie, it's like this, my friend dropped something important inside, so he wants to open the door to get it out," the leading man said with a smile.
"???"
"Things? What things? There's nothing here. This room is for my personal use. If you've lost something, you should go to the front desk."
"Go, go, go! What kind of mess is this, blocking the road here?"
The aunt started to shoo people away, and the man, seeing that he couldn't persuade them, had no choice but to leave with his group.
After the person left, the aunt went forward to open the door and go in, but found that the door could not be opened.
Bang bang bang, "Is anyone inside?"
At this moment, He Manman saw that Lin Zhihao had been in the bathroom for a long time, so she came looking for her.
Hearing the aunt's question, Lin Zhihao prepared to open the door again.
Zhai Qingwen: "Keeping it from everyone else, just the two of us, secretly staying here in a narrow, enclosed room. Are you sure you want to open the door?"
The man's eyes crinkled with laughter.
Lin Zhihao: ······
She looked behind her and saw a huge trash can. She pointed to it, the meaning clear: she wanted the man to hide inside.
Zhai Qingwen: ? ? ?
I, Zhai Qingwen, am a tall man of 1.9 meters, handsome and rich. How could this girl in front of me make him hide in a trash can?
Just as he was about to refuse again, he saw Lin Zhihao's clenched fist.
Zhai Qingwen was amused and said, "Little sister, I'm not the kind of person who gets scared easily."
"I've never seen anything like it in my entire life..."
His response was a barrage of powerful dunks from Lin Zhihao.
"Ah, ouch~ I just don't hit women, so I'm letting you have your way. Don't be too arrogant."
In the chaos, he grabbed Lin Zhihao's hand again, trying to restrain him, but Lin Zhihao threw him over her shoulder.
He fell to the ground with a thud, feeling as if his bones were about to shatter.
The cleaning lady outside the door and He Manman, who had rushed over to look for Lin Zhihao, were startled.
Zhai Qingwen was about to get up and argue with Lin Zhihao.
Looking up, I saw Lin Zhihao's face hidden in the shadows, her eyes, dangerous and sharp, vaguely visible within.
Zhai Qingwen was taken aback.
He turned around, stepped in, squatted down, and covered it up—all in one fluid motion.
Seeing that Zhai Qingwen had wisely hidden himself, Lin Zhihao picked up a mop, opened the door, and went out.
"I'm so sorry, Auntie. I spilled some soup on the floor while I was eating. I was just about to get a mop to clean it up," Lin Zhihao said to the cleaning lady.
He Manman: Huh? How come I didn't know?
"Oh dear, young lady. This is my job, you don't need to clean it up. Give me the mop, I'll clean whichever room it is." The cleaning lady took the mop from Lin Zhihao's hand.
She liked the little girl with bright, sparkling eyes in front of her because she had a granddaughter with eyes that were exactly the same.
"Thank you for your help, Auntie. It's the private room at the end of the corridor." Lin Zhihao handed the mop to the cleaning lady. After the lady left, she pulled He Manman away from the door of the storage room.
Only after hearing that there was no more noise outside did Zhai Qingwen climb out of the bucket.
After stretching his bones, he muttered, "This little girl has quite a bit of energy."
