Chapter 70: Hiding People

"No, no, that won't do, spare me! Little Junior Brother, I won't provoke you ever again, I admit defeat! From now on, I'll listen to everything you say!"

"Senior Sister, listening to everything I say—that's what you said."

A long while later, the two of them rested while staring at the ceiling.

"Mm..."

Li Qingyan was perhaps too tired; she actually fell asleep.

Listening to her snoring, Chen Che carefully brushed away the strands of hair stuck to her face and said, "Third Senior Sister, did you know? I used to dream about you often, and now, it can be considered a dream come true."

"Hmph, so you've had bad intentions toward me for a long time!" Li Qingyan woke up and huffed, but her tone was incredibly soft and sweet; there wasn't a hint of reproach, sounding more like she was acting coquettishly.

"Senior Sister is so beautiful, it's only natural for me to have some thoughts!"

Chen Che hugged Li Qingyan's soft, jade-like body, cherishing the moment, and said, "By the way, Senior Sister, I've always wanted to ask you, have you been in contact with Sixth Senior Sister all these years?"

Li Qingyan shot him a sidelong glance and said crossly, "You little brat, eating from the bowl while looking at the pot! What? Is me accompanying you not enough, and you want to call your Sixth Senior Sister over to join in too?"

Chen Che immediately explained, "No, I'm just curious. After all, among the Senior Sisters I've met so far, there's only you, Third Senior Sister, and Sixth Senior Sister."

"So I wanted to know if you two have been in contact, and if so, where are the other Senior Sisters?"

Li Qingyan said, "I have contact with your Sixth Senior Sister because she was at Kunlun Mountain when she was young, and I looked after her for a period of time."

"As for your other Senior Sisters, we all practiced under Master when we were young, but later, when we grew up and went down the mountain, we each went our separate ways, and none of us know where the others are."

"Sixth Senior Sister is in the Inspection Bureau and is a doctor, so what do the other Senior Sisters do?"

As Chen Che spoke, he pecked at Li Qingyan's face, then her neck, her collarbone...

Li Qingyan raised her hand to press down on Chen Che's head, not letting him continue downward: "The six of us senior sisters each only learned one of Master's skills; not everyone is a Martial Artist or an Artisan. Everyone has their own specialty, after all."

"In all these years, you're the only monster to appear with talent in every category."

"As for where the others are and what they are doing, I really don't know."

... Hm?

After waiting for a while, Li Qingyan didn't see Chen Che respond and asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Mm... mm... Senior Sister, I'm going to suffocate!"

Chen Che's muffled voice came through.

Li Qingyan's face flushed red, and she immediately let go.

Chen Che was freed, lifted his head to gasp for air, and after a moment, suddenly said, "Senior Sister, let's do it again!"

Li Qingyan's face was as red as sunset clouds; she looked at Chen Che, her eyes filled with pleading, and said pitifully, "My whole body is soft; if we do it again, I won't be able to get out of bed."

"Don't worry! My Ghost Gate Acupuncture will guarantee you'll be jumping around the next day!"

Chen Che said with a face full of smiles.

Li Qingyan's eyes were misty as she said softly, "You can't do this, I've already conceded."

"But you just said you'd listen to everything I say."

Chen Che shifted his body upward and kissed Li Qingyan's lips, blocking the words she was about to say.

Chen Che adjusted his position, ready to ignite the flames of war once more.

"Buzz buzz~~"

At this moment, the damn cell phone rang again.

Chen Che resisted the urge to smash the phone and tapped it to look.

This time, it was a call from Cheng Kexiang.

"Hello." Chen Che answered.

"Are you in your room?" Cheng Kexiang's voice came through.

"I am."

"Is there anyone in your room?"

Chen Che frowned, glanced at Li Qingyan, and said, "No one."

"Then open the door, I'm outside your room."

Chen Che turned his head abruptly to look at the door, his eyes wide as saucers.

"Quick, quick, quick!"

Chen Che hung up the phone and quickly put on his clothes.

Li Qingyan was also badly frightened; if this kind of thing were caught by someone, she really wouldn't be able to face anyone!

The two helped each other and quickly got dressed. Li Qingyan grabbed her shoes and ran barefoot into the bathroom.

Chen Che took a few deep breaths, adjusted his state, and opened the door.

"Why did it take so long?"

Cheng Kexiang walked in, but suddenly her brows furrowed, "What is that smell?"

Chen Che was stunned.

The two had been at it for an entire afternoon; the room was full of the scent and traces of the aftermath.

"Uh... that... what is it you need?" Chen Che had no choice but to change the subject.

Cheng Kexiang looked at Chen Che with suspicion, but since she was inexperienced in such matters, she didn't know what the scent represented and didn't think much of it, instead asking:

"What do you plan to do about the engagement between my sister and Zhang Shouhang?"

Cheng Kexiang said, "I saw that you didn't give Zhang Shouhang a good look when he tried to curry favor with you earlier, but that isn't enough to break off the engagement. Not to mention Zhang Shouhang, it won't be easy to get past our family elders. Although you saved my grandfather and can be considered a benefactor to our family, this is, after all, a private matter of the Cheng Family, and your words don't carry much weight."

"Then do you have any good ideas?" Chen Che asked.

Cheng Kexiang shook her head, "I wouldn't be asking you if I had a way. Besides, time is already very tight; in less than half a month, it will be the birthday banquet for the Head of the Zhang Family. At that time, it will also be the engagement banquet for Zhang Shouhang and my sister."

Chen Che's expression was grave as he said in a deep voice, "According to what you're saying, taking it step by step is impossible, so we can only be simple and crude."

"You have a way?" Cheng Kexiang's eyes lit up, full of anticipation.

Chen Che gave a mysterious smile: "Of course, I guarantee this marriage will not go through."

"That's good then."

Cheng Kexiang set her mind at ease and provided more intelligence: "To foster their relationship, my sister and Zhang Shouhang are currently taking a walk alone in the back garden. If you have a plan, you can go now."

Chen Che nodded: "Alright, I'll tidy up a bit."

"Then I'll wait for you outside the door—"

"Uh... you can just wait for me in the back garden!"

Chen Che hurriedly stopped her; if Cheng Kexiang saw Li Qingyan coming out of the room with him, the subsequent plan would be difficult to execute.

"I can find it myself," Chen Che smiled.

Cheng Kexiang furrowed her brows, feeling that Chen Che was acting strange today.

"Fine, then I'll wait for you in the back garden."

Cheng Kexiang looked back every few steps, watching Chen Che with a puzzled expression.

"Go on, I'll be right there!" Chen Che said with a sheepish laugh.

Cheng Kexiang walked to the doorway, pulled back the foot she had stepped out with, turned around, and stared at Chen Che: "Are you hiding someone in your room?"

Upon hearing this, both Chen Che and Li Qingyan, who was hiding in the bathroom, felt their hearts tremble.

"No, how could that be? This is the Cheng Family, who could I possibly hide here!"

Chen Che feigned composure and said.

Cheng Kexiang narrowed her eyes and scrutinized Chen Che: "Hmph, who can say for sure? Isn't that Divine Doctor sister also your senior sister? I see your relationship is quite good too; maybe the person you're hiding in your room is her!"

Chen Che's body stiffened, thinking to himself that a woman's intuition is truly terrifying!

"You really have quite an imagination," Chen Che said in as flat a tone as possible.

Cheng Kexiang looked around again and found that, other than a strange smell, there was nothing else suspicious.

"Then I'm leaving first, hurry up and come."

Cheng Kexiang turned and walked out, and Chen Che followed quickly, about to close the door.

Unexpectedly.

Cheng Kexiang performed a standard about-face at that moment, returned to the room, and walked straight toward the bathroom...
