"Are you stupid? There were a bunch of girls next to me when I was talking to you that day, how can I say I don't have any?? How can a man say he doesn't have abs??"
Lu Qingyan huddled in the locker and held her breath, but in the next moment, she heard unhurried footsteps walking towards her.
She shouldn't have gone left. She knew she shouldn't have gone left.
F*ck.
It's over! It's over, it's over!
It's over!!
She'll be discovered.
Lu Qingyan's entire life flashed before her eyes. Her elementary school piano recital. That time she accidentally replied "You too" when the waiter told her to enjoy her meal. Her brother exposing her secret stash of milk tea receipts to her health-conscious second cousin. All of it. Right now. In this locker.
Will they think she's a female pervert??
She could already see tomorrow's headline—
She imagined the next day's headline:
"Shocking News! Female High School Student Caught Hiding in Boys' Locker Room. 'Just Wanted a Nap,' She Claims. School Considers Locker Inspection Policy."
She was already mentally preparing to write her apology essay and hand-wash the school courtyard with a toothbrush.
Lu Qingyan covered her mouth and resisted the urge to break the locker and escape. She tried to shrink herself into a ball.
At this moment, she only hated that she didn't learn the bone-shrinking technique back then. She simply wanted to merge into the locker and become one with it.
Wang Jingyuan walked to his locker wordlessly amidst the laughter and conversations. He lowered his head and pulled the door open, but it only opened for a moment before it quickly closed as if there was a hand on the inside.
Wang Jingyuan frowned slightly and didn't think too deeply about it. He just assumed that the locker was old.
He turned his wrist slightly and exerted a little bit more force.
The door of the locker opened with a creaking sound.
Wang Jingyuan didn't lower his head as he pulled down the zipper and casually took off his jacket.
She screamed in her heart, and her expression was as if she already had nothing left to live for.
Then she noticed that the youth didn't seem to have looked inside. She breathed a sigh of relief as she stepped back further and shrank into a corner.
A jacket was casually tossed into the locker. Right onto her face.
She blinked. Then blinked again.
The jacket smelled like Chinese honey locust and something else—something clean, expensive, and just slightly minty.
She froze in place.
Did he not see her?
Slowly, like a creature of the dark, she pushed the jacket slightly off her face and peered through the fabric.
When she raised her head, she caught a glimpse of the figure in front of the locker.
She swallowed a little.
From this angle, she could only see around his waist.
His slender finger grabbed the corner of his shirt as he slowly lifted it and revealed a thin waistline.
Then came the sleek and beautiful abdominal muscles, along with two clear mermaid lines that disappeared into the waist of the pants.
This extremely shocking scene was so sexy that it made people unconsciously swallow.
Lu Qingyan's eyes widened.
What kind of YA-rated school life was this? Why was she seeing abs like that on a random Tuesday morning?
Lu Qingyan looked at the man's waist and stared blankly for a while before she closed her eyes. She hastily retreated a step back as she whispered silently, "See no evil."
However, when she moved, she bumped into the back of the locker and created a sound.
This caused Wang Jingyuan to pause. He let down the corner of his shirt, put his hand on top of the locker, and stared thoughtfully at it.
Then, he leaned over to look inside.
And then, he made eye contact with Lu Qingyan, who was wrapped in his jacket.
The girl resembled a small animal with her head poking out of his jacket. She looked at him cautiously with wet eyes before she tentatively extended her hand to wave hello at him.
She whispered softly, "Hi."
She seemed as calm as an old dog on the surface, but she was already panicking inside.
Cool.
The vicious female cannon dodder entered the antagonist's locker with evil intentions.
This misunderstanding will probably be impossible to clear up.
