Chapter 942: Chapter 563: A Grown Man Locks His Door to Sleep? Top Student vs. Slacker (3 Updates)
After Tang Wan came out of the shower and saw the text message, she replied but didnât get a response for a long time, even until Jiang Jinsang finished his shower, she was still staring at her phone in a daze.
"Not going to sleep yet?"
"Waiting for a message from Xixi." Tang Wan propped her chin with her hand, feeling conflicted. She couldnât figure out why Qi Zeyan went to "live together" with her for no reason, and felt embarrassed to call, afraid of interrupting their "good moments."
"Are you worried Zeyan might do something to her?"
"Iâm afraid she might not be able to handle it and go wild."
Jiang Jinsang simply smiled, "Theyâre both adults, they know what theyâre doing, hurry and rest, we still have classes tomorrow."
...
Even when Tang Wan fell asleep, she hadnât received a reply.
As for Ruan Mengxi, although Qi Zeyan had been to her place before, it felt very different now that he was here again.
"We donât have disposable slippers at home, these belong to my dad, please make do with them for now, and Iâll get you a glass of water." After leading him inside, Ruan Mengxi quickly turned on the air conditioner and went to boil some hot water.
She could only be grateful that she had been staying at the hospital recently, so the house was still fairly tidy.
"Itâs okay, Iâm not thirsty." Qi Zeyan, standing on one leg, spotted many Xiaoxin figurines on a cabinet in the living room, with various costumes. He picked one up to look at, "You still play with these?"
"Theyâre all from blind boxes."
"Blind boxes?" Qi Zeyan just wanted to see how realistic these figures could get, but accidentally twisted Xiaoxinâs head off. He coughed, reattached the head, and put it back in place.
"Youâll sleep in the guest room, my parents occasionally come over and stay." Ruan Mengxi didnât care what he was doing, busying herself with making the bed for him.
"Do your parents come over often?"
"They come once or twice occasionally, not often."
"Thatâs good." Qi Zeyan leaned against the door, watching her busy around. He wanted to help, but with one leg inconvenient, it was difficult for him, "Arenât your family worried about you living alone in the big city?"
"They used to worry, thatâs why they came often, but not anymore."
Qi Zeyan hopped into the guest room, glanced at the photos on a cabinet, aside from portraits of Ruan Mengxi, there were also photos of a middle-aged couple, or the three of them together, clearly her parents, with a warm family atmosphere.
"Oh, the bathroom and toilet are outside, and I donât have your clothes here, only my dadâs." Ruan Mengxi said, bringing out a set of pajamas for him.
"New ones." Qi Zeyan noted the tags still attached.
"I bought them for him, but he never came, so he didnât wear them, might be..." Ruan Mengxi frowned, "a bit small."
"I donât mind, but after I wear them, uncle might." Qi Zeyan wasnât here for a vacation; as long as there was a place to sleep, he didnât care for much else.
"Iâll show you around first..."
After showing him around, Ruan Mengxi left him with the clothes in the bathroom. Despite having one leg inconvenient, it wasnât a problem for him to shower.
"Hereâs the shampoo, and the shower gel, use them as you like. If you need anything, just call me."
With the bathroom door closed, Qi Zeyan looked at the mess on the counter by the sink, raising an eyebrow. Just shower gel, there were three bottles, along with all sorts of body lotions and fragrances. He frowned, but after showering and changing into pajamas, he started frowning again.
The pajamas had that middle-aged uncle style, and most importantly...
How tall is her dad anyway? He ended up wearing the pants like theyâre cropped trousers.
The overall appearance was somewhat comical.

When he came out, Ruan Mengxi wasnât home, and after sitting on the sofa waiting for a while, he went back to the room. Finding she was gone for too long, he intended to call her but discovered his phone had died and shut off automatically.
Since his arrival had been so sudden, he couldnât even find a single compatible charging cable. Bored, he resorted to watching some TV in the living room.
When Ruan Mengxi returned, unexpectedly, the first thing he said was:
"Where have you been?"
His tone had a hint of impatience, seemingly a bit angry.
"I just went out for a bit..." Ruan Mengxi held two large bags in her hands, somewhat puzzled, why was he in a bad mood?
"Youâre a girl, running out so late at night, why?"
Qi Zeyan had been waiting for over an hour, and by now it was nearing midnight.
"I went to the hospital to get your toiletries, then to the supermarket to buy a few things."
"You went to the hospital?" Qi Zeyan bit his lip, fully aware of how long it would take from her house to the hospital, "We could have just bought new toiletries, if something happened to you going out so late, who would be responsible?"
