The Female Assassin Pretends to Be a Lamb in the Campus

Chapter 231

Qiao Ying watched that figure, slowly stopping her footsteps.

Then she stood in place, watching him.

Under the moonlight, the man's posture was upright, his cold and hard profile submerged in the night, his expression unseen. The night wind was quite cold.

Qin Hanyue stood in front of the empty villa, looking at the pitch-black, empty villa. His mind was filled with the surveillance video from the auto repair shop - the scene of Qiao Ying standing to the side watching Xiao He repairing the car.

Suddenly hearing movement, he turned to look and saw Qiao Ying walking towards him.

Qiao Ying walked over: "How long have you been waiting?"

As she walked closer, she smelled a strong scent of smoke coming from him. Looking at Qin Hanyue, his complexion was more haggard and exhausted than she had ever seen, with faint dark circles under his eyes, and he had also lost some weight.

It seemed he had indeed been very busy recently.

Qin Hanyue smiled gently at the girl in front of him, speaking gently: "I just got out of the car." That's what he said.

Qiao Ying had messaged Qin Hanyue, thinking he wouldn't come, but unexpectedly not only did he come, he had waited for her outside the door for a few hours.

"The passcode for the front gate is 710710," Qiao Ying told him.

Qin Hanyue actually already knew the passcode, but every time he came he would still ring the doorbell, even having stood outside and waited all night tonight he didn't say to just open the door and go in on his own. After all, even though he knew the code, that didn't mean he could just come and go as he pleased.

And now Qiao Ying was taking the initiative to tell him the passcode, which was equal to giving him the keys to the villa. The meaning was different.

"Okay," Qin Hanyue smiled and acknowledged.

There was two seconds of awkward silence, then he couldn't help asking: "Coming back so late, did you get the matter resolved?"

He was secretly probing, but Qiao Ying didn't hide it and just told him what had happened: "Xiao He's mother suddenly took ill."

Hearing this, Qin Hanyue nodded slightly without speaking.

He handed the chicken soup he was holding to Qiao Ying, saying: "I stewed this chicken soup for you. Don't overexert yourself with all that tutoring recently."

Qiao Ying took it: "Come in and sit for a bit?"

Qin Hanyue: "No, it's too late, you should eat and rest early."

Qiao Ying: "Mm."

Although the conversation seemed to have ended, Qin Hanyue lingered and didn't move his legs.

The two of them hadn't seen each other for over half a month, and now they were speechless for a moment when looking at each other. It seemed there were things hidden in both their hearts.

Qin Hanyue: "Then I'll get going."

Qiao Ying stood in place watching his retreating figure, her lips moved slightly as if hesitating. But after hesitating for just a moment, she soon spoke up.

"Qin Hanyue."

Speaking his name aloud, Qiao Ying's mood cleared up.

Hearing her call out, Qin Hanyue turned around to see Qiao Ying lift her foot and walk towards him, covering the distance between them in just three quick steps.
