The girl’s mind raced through countless ways to escape danger, but she was completely unprepared for this.
The man gave her almost no chance to refuse. His strong, warm body pressed against her, though he was considerate enough to prop himself up with his arms, not fully pressing down on her.
Even knowing it was just an act, they were both barely dressed—only wearing shorts below—and the sensation of contact was far too clear.
"You!"
She glared at him furiously, but this ti, her eyes held less murderous intent and more a strange, flustered panic. She opened her mouth to say sothing, only for the man to cover it with his hand and whisper in her ear:
"Shh, you don’t want them to find us, do you?"
Hearing the approaching footsteps outside the courtyard, the girl had no other choice. She bit her lip and turned her head to the side, her face flushed, putting on an expression of being forced.
At this mont, Ji Qinglin had no ti to play the rogue. He just wanted to get rid of the people outside as quickly as possible. But as he pressed down, he realized how intoxicating the sensation was with barely any fabric between them.
He could feel every inch of her warmth against him, not to ntion certain areas that were particularly heated.
Pushing aside unnecessary thoughts, Ji Qinglin pulled the blanket over them, rocked the wooden bed, and deliberately shouted toward the bedroom door:
"Hubby, are you impressive?"
To make it more convincing, he shook the bed with one hand while rhythmically patting his arm to create sound effects.
But even with all this effort, the girl still wasn’t cooperating. Face red, she kept her head turned away, biting her lip in silence.
Ji Qinglin had the urge to kick her off the bed and snap:
"Do you even know the basic respect a man deserves?!"
But since the act had already begun, he had no other choice but to keep shaking the bed while spewing vulgarities.
Taptap—
Two distinct sounds echoed—clearly the searchers jumping over the locked iron gate into the courtyard.
Having absorbed a massive amount of data from the Qi Sea Cloud Storage, Ji Qinglin’s hearing was now much sharper. He could faintly hear the two n whispering to each other:
"Shh, there's movent inside."
"Sounds pretty intense, huh?"
"Heh, but that guy doesn’t seem very good at it. The girl’s completely silent."
"What makes you so sure the other one’s a girl? Maybe it’s…"
The girl seed to hear their murmuring too. Her brows remained furrowed as she kept her flushed face turned away, but she still sneaked a few glances outside.
Seeing this, Ji Qinglin thought, I’m up here working my ass off with my voice acting, and you’re still not making a sound? We’re going to get caught!
With no ti to worry about being a gentleman, he reached out, intending to pinch her side to force a reaction.
But since his arm was supporting his body, his hand slipped slightly, missing its mark—and instead landed directly on the girl’s chest.
"Ah~"
With a startled cry, the girl’s entire body trembled. She imdiately shot him a death glare, her sword-like brows raised, teeth clenched in fury. Her red eyes blazed with humiliation and disbelief, as if screaming:
How dare you, you bastard?!
From her expression alone, Ji Qinglin wouldn’t have been surprised if she lunged at him to bite him.
But the scream did its job. Outside, the searchers—who had been creeping closer—froze, then resud their hushed conversation:
"See? Told you it’s a woman."
"Eh, that last sound was pretty intense."
"You don’t get it. That was a sound of surprise. Maybe they switched positions…"
"Let’s listen a bit more, let’s listen."
Ji Qinglin cursed inwardly, You two old pervs! You ca here to investigate, not to eavesdrop on live performances!
But he had no choice. He had to keep acting.
Since the last pinch worked well, he decided to reinforce the impression. This ti, he aid properly for her side—
But the girl was already on guard. Seeing his hand move, she imdiately grabbed his wrist, her long fingers burning hot. Then she lifted her gaze, eyes full of fury, as if to say:
You dare try again?!
Before Ji Qinglin could decide his next move, the two n outside continued their hushed conversation:
"Should we go in and search?"
"This place is a dump—what’s there to search? But we can at least enjoy the show."
Then, deliberately raising their voices, they called out:
"Search carefully! Go inside and take a look!"
"Why’s the bedroom light on? Check it out!"
Two sets of footsteps quickly approached.
Ji Qinglin fud, Are you guys shaless? If you don’t find anything suspicious, just leave! What the hell is there to enjoy?
But hearing them getting closer, he had no other choice. He withdrew his arm and actually pressed his body down on the girl, pulling the blanket up to cover everything except their arms and shoulders.
Understanding there was no other way out, the girl reluctantly raised her fair arms and hooked them around Ji Qinglin’s neck.
Bang—
The slightly ajar bedroom door was kicked open.
"Ah!"
The girl let out a startled scream, imdiately pulling the blanket up to cover her body and face, leaving only her black curls and a pair of wide, innocent red eyes exposed.
Ji Qinglin thought, Oh, now you can act? After making
work so hard?
But there was no ti to complain. He quickly fumbled under the blanket as if hastily pulling up his pants, then erged looking flustered and furious.
"You… Who the hell are you?! What are you doing in my house?!"
The two intruders, dressed in black Security Task Force uniforms, looked around, clearly disappointed at not seeing anything spicier. Still, they replied in an official tone:
"We received a report of a suspicious individual infiltrating Xindong Street. We called out in the courtyard, but got no response, so we ca to check."
Called my ass. You were too busy listening to us!
Ji Qinglin put on an angry act:
"Suspicious? Suspicious my ass! Do you have a search warrant? I’m reporting you to the police!"
"Sir, please calm down. We’re just following protocol. If possible, could you show us your ID?"
Ji Qinglin had anticipated this, so he imdiately grabbed the wallet from the table and tossed it at them.
"You think I’m suspicious? Open your damn eyes and see who I am!"
The two n opened the wallet, looking puzzled—until they saw what was inside. Next to Ji Qinglin’s ID was his Xindong Street Comrce Guild Elder Certificate.
One of them imdiately straightened up and said:
"Ah, Elder of the Comrce Guild! Apologies, apologies! We acted rashly. But, uh… why are you staying in a place like this…?"
Before he could finish, his companion tugged his sleeve, then discreetly glanced at the girl on the bed, as if to say:
Are you dumb? You still don’t get it? Of course he ca here for so private business!
