Qin Nanyu took out his pass and was just about to explain when the campus security officer interrupted him, "Don't think that changing your clothes can make you pretend to be staff. I'll tell you, this trick, I played it myself when I was young. You two broke into the lab building and triggered the alarm. Regardless of whatever excuse you have, you must come with us to the campus security office!"
Several campus security officers divided the work, with half staying behind to inspect the lab equipment and the other half taking Qin Nanyu and Ji Weitian back to the security office.
Ji Weitian was unhappy about being misunderstood as having a private meeting with Qin Nanyu, but compared to being considered a thief, this was already the best outcome.
She sneaked a glance at Qin Nanyu, who was looking displeased. With her head drooped, she followed him, pondering how she might have triggered the alarm when suddenly, someone pulled her collar and lifted her up.
"Hey—" Ji Weitian was about to scream, but then realized she had just been pulled to the front by Qin Nanyu. His deep black eyes stared at her coldly, his thin lips slightly parted.
"Walking so slowly, planning to hide behind and escape?"
Ji Weitian, not exactly confident, retorted, "Do you have a way with words or not? Am I the kind of irresponsible person? If it weren't for you holding me up at the lab door, we wouldn't be mistaken for a couple in love. I haven't held you accountable, yet you dare blame me."
Upon hearing this, Qin Nanyu let out a snort, looked her up and down once, and his lips curled into a sinister smile.
Seeing this smile, Ji Weitian immediately had a bad feeling. Sure enough, at the moment Qin Nanyu dropped his gaze, he coldly said, "Are you sure the security thought we were students and not because you look like a shriveled bean with no femininity?"
"Who are you calling a shriveled bean? Who lacks femininity? Open your dog eyes and look," Ji Weitian exploded, moving closer to Qin Nanyu. When she realized what she had done, she noticed the two security officers walking in front were turning back with a look of shock. She froze!
Her cheeks uncontrollably flushed. Her hands, which were on her hips, covered her face. She wished she could dig a hole right there and bury herself.
Meanwhile, the culprit causing her embarrassment still seriously evaluated, "As practice shows, beauty and intelligence really can't coexist. Miss Ji, eat more walnuts; they can boost your brain."
Ji Weitian: "..."
Qin Nanyu, are you even human?
At nine p.m., Qin Nanyu and Ji Weitian were brought to the campus security office. After checking and verifying their identities, it was indeed a misunderstanding.
Originally thinking that she would be able to walk out of the security office confidently once she cleared her relationship with Qin Nanyu, Ji Weitian, due to the earlier misunderstanding, now followed him silently like a defeated hen.
She hesitated about whether to pick up a brick by the side of the road when no one was looking, to deal with Qin Nanyu for some relief!
Who knew that as soon as they left the security office, Qin Nanyu completely ignored her and walked straight toward the lab building.
Ji Weitian suddenly remembered the alarm she triggered earlier. With the time being too tight earlier, she didn't know if the lab had surveillance installed. What if...
Feeling uneasy as she watched Qin Nanyu's back, Ji Weitian knew she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight if she just let it go. She could only resign herself to follow him back to the lab building.
Just as they reached the entrance of the lab, Qin Nanyu stopped her: "What are you coming along for?"
