The nosebleed instantly shot out in a stream...
The nosebleed happened to fall on Zhang Kexin's thigh. Ye Hao hurriedly wiped his nosebleed with his hand, then remembered that there was still some on Zhang Kexin's leg. So, he used his hand, already smeared with his nosebleed, to wipe Zhang Kexin's thigh again. It would have been fine if he didn't wipe it, but as soon as he did, there were even more bloodstains on Zhang Kexin and the bed sheets.
The more Ye Hao tried to fix it, the more chaotic it became. The more he wiped, the thicker the bloodstains grew until they congealed...
Ye Hao looked at the situation, feeling exasperated. Zhang Kexin seemed to be a bit ticklish from having her thigh touched, so she turned over and continued sleeping.
Helpless, Ye Hao could only go to the bathroom to wash his hands.
After Ye Hao washed his hands, his phone rang.
Ye Hao saw the number and quickly answered, "Why are you up so late?"
"Why are you out so late? Where did you go?" Lin Ruyu asked on the other end.
"Oh, nothing! A friend just called me out to hang out," Ye Hao lied.
"Cheng Dao said someone called you hundreds of times, and he thinks it's a woman. He also mentioned that you went out after putting gel in your hair, and said you're not coming home tonight?" Lin Ruyu said over the phone. She wasn't blaming Ye Hao. She knew that Ye Hao wouldn't do anything with other women before reaching the Innate Realm.
Even if he wanted to, with so many women at home, why would he bother looking for someone else?
She just wanted to remind Ye Hao that they are women too and could get jealous, so going out at night still looked a bit suspicious.
"Damn it! That dog Cheng Dao, nothing good ever comes from his mouth! I put gel in my hair because it got messed up falling asleep with Qingqing earlier. I said I'd be home later, not not coming home..." Ye Hao explained over the phone.
"Alright, say no more. Drink less, and come back soon." Lin Ruyu trusted that Ye Hao wasn't lying to her and didn't insist further.
"Be in front of Miss Lin in five minutes, and warm up the bed for me." With that, Ye Hao hung up the phone.
Ye Hao glanced at Zhang Kexin lying on the bed in various sleeping positions. Helplessly, Ye Hao hurried to the bathroom, scrubbed Zhang Kexin's white long dress, and took down the mini camera that had recorded Qiu Zhipeng's domineering antics. Ye Hao wouldn't allow people like Qiu Zhipeng to act so brazenly, so he planned to have Qiu Zhipeng thrown in jail for some introspection.
After handling that, Ye Hao used his Inner Breath to dry Zhang Kexin's short skirt, covered her with a blanket, and then left the room for checkout at the front desk.
Leaving the hotel, with a flash, Ye Hao appeared a hundred meters away, and after a few more flashes, he was back at the Dragon and Phoenix Castle.
As Ye Hao's power increased, he felt this mysterious Body Technique was becoming increasingly profound. Speed was one aspect; another was feeling he could pass through slight objects. When moving too quickly using this technique and accidentally hitting something, it gave a sensation of his body being able to pass through it.
However, this sensation was subtle, and moving too fast, Ye Hao couldn't quite feel it.
In less than five minutes, Ye Hao was back at home, and Lin Ruyu had already prepared the water and drawn a bath.
Ye Hao had just entered the Dragon and Phoenix Castle when he saw Lin Ruyu sitting alone on the sofa, waiting.
With a smile on his lips, Ye Hao walked over. Home was still the most comforting. Coming home, he could feel the warmth of a loved one waiting for him.
"Back?" Lin Ruyu asked, glancing at Ye Hao upon hearing his footsteps.
"Yeah, I made you stay up again." Ye Hao, feeling a bit guilty, went up and hugged Lin Ruyu.
"It's okay! I couldn't sleep anyway." Lin Ruyu smiled softly.
"Is there someone in the bathroom? I thought I heard water?" Ye Hao asked.
"I adjusted the water temperature for you to take a bath! You have to go to school tomorrow!" Lin Ruyu said gently and elegantly.
"Let's go together!" Ye Hao said mischievously.
"Aren't you afraid?" Lin Ruyu gave Ye Hao a sidelong glance, the challenge clear in her eyes.
"Scared, but I just want to be with you." Ye Hao chuckled as he stepped forward to pick up Lin Ruyu.
And so the two shared a romantic bath and cuddled to sleep into the night.
...
The next day.
As a ray of sunlight shone into the hotel room, Zhang Kexin lazily stretched. Realizing she was barely dressed, she quickly pulled back the blanket to check.
She was only wearing intact white underwear, no sign of tearing, but upon seeing the bloodstains on her legs and the bed sheets, her eyes widened as if she had lost her most precious thing, immediately feeling dazed and desolate.
"In the end, I still gave it to him, sigh..." Zhang Kexin sighed, her heart filled with melancholy.
"But since I've given it to him, can I ask him for something in return?" Zhang Kexin pondered to herself in confusion.
Seeing a clean, dry short skirt at the bedside, she felt a bit moved. It seemed this man wasn't the kind to just use someone and leave.
"Sigh! For my mother, I'm sorry." Zhang Kexin sighed.
Afterwards, she got up and dressed. When she found there was nothing unusual about her body and even her heel didn't hurt anymore, she wondered, could Ye Hao have healed her foot?
And why had she felt nothing down there? This wasn't the usual sign of having lost one's virginity!
Confused, Zhang Kexin wanted so much to ask Ye Hao whether anything had happened between them. If not, where would she go from here? How could she shamelessly ask Ye Hao for help?
But if something did happen, she would still hesitate to ask Ye Hao for anything, fearing that it might make her seem utilitarian and draw disdain.
Overwhelmed with inner conflict, confusion, and misunderstanding, Zhang Kexin had no choice but to tidy up her baffled heart and head home.
...
Early in the morning, Ye Hao led Lin Ruyu, Su Qing, Fang Ni, Xia Zhu, Wu Xiao, Lei Ting, and Luo Yingxue on a run to school, naturally becoming the most beautiful scene along the way.
When Ye Hao arrived at school, he felt puzzled. Why was he even here? What was he supposed to be learning?
He looked at the girls curiously and asked, "Why did I come to school in the first place?"
It wasn't Ye Hao's fault for thinking this way. The school couldn't provide him with what he really needed; what he required was practice and experimentation, but there was nothing for him at school, so how was he supposed to learn?
"Aren't you supposed to be messing around with experiments? Doesn't Xiaozhu have an experiment today? You can join her in the lab!" Fang Ni teased.
"No, no, no." Su Qing stepped forward, "The school's lab doesn't have as complete tools as Ye's DIY setup at home. Ye, I think you should take me to the Martial Arts Club today."
"The Martial Arts Club? Oh... Do you mean the Taekwondo Club is challenging the Martial Arts Club today?" Ye Hao suddenly understood. (To be continued.
