Tomb raiding: Today is another day I don't want to go home.

Chapter 64 Hugs, Staying Overnight, and... I Like You

knock --

The door of the courtyard house was knocked on in the night.

knock --

He persevered for another while, showing remarkable willpower.

"Who's doing this so late at night! Don't they know that disturbing an elderly person's sleep will bring divine retribution!"

Hearing the familiar shouts and curses, Yan Huai sat on the wall of the courtyard house, watching with a smile as Black Glasses came out of the room and opened the door.

Although the lights in the courtyard were off, Yan Huai still knew where Zhang Qiling was thanks to his bloodline sensing wires. Taking advantage of the moment when Black Glasses stepped out of the courtyard to look for someone, he climbed over the wall and slammed the door shut outside!

"Holy crap...who is it?!" Could it be a notorious thief? Black Glasses pounded on the door, cursing under his breath, "Don't let Blackie catch you, you little thief, or I'll skin you alive and confiscate everything you stole!"

Ignoring Black Glasses' tirade, Yan Huai bolted the door and headed straight for Zhang Qiling's room. Then, in his hot-blooded state, he was met with a barrage of blows from the Black Gold Ancient Blade.

"It's me! It's Zhang Qiling, it's Yan Huai! Stop hitting me!"

The figure in the darkness paused, the sound of the blade cutting through the air stopped abruptly, and the lights in the room came on the next moment.

“Yan Huai…” Zhang Qiling’s eyes still held shock and joy. He stared blankly at the person in front of him, speechless for a long time.

"Ah! I'm back!" Yan Huai felt his heart swell with joy the moment he saw Zhang Qiling. He unconsciously opened his arms and pulled her into his embrace, his arms slowly tightening around her as he murmured, "Zhang Qiling..."

Hearing the muffled sounds Yan Huai made while burying his face in his neck, Zhang Qiling's initially bewildered body gradually relaxed. He hugged Yan Huai back, his eyes filled with visible joy and emotion: "Mmm..."

thump—

The sudden sound of the latch hitting the door shattered the romantic atmosphere in the room. Yan Huai's heart skipped a beat, and then he gritted his teeth and hugged Zhang Qiling, who was trying to back away, even tighter.

Black glasses!

"Yan Huai, this is my damn home! Not a place you can just come and go as you please!" Black Glasses stood in the yard, hands on his hips, cursing loudly, no longer even bothering with his usual self-reference. "If you don't behave next time, believe me, I'll introduce this mute to some other girl!!!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Huai's eyes flashed with disdain, but he asked Zhang Qiling pitifully, "Do you like me or other girls?"

Completely unprepared for Yan Huai's question, Zhang Qiling opened his mouth silently, unable to utter the words...

The key point is that Yan Huai hasn't yet realized how direct his question was. He only knows that the person in front of him is very soft, making him want to hold on tighter, and that bright red ear seems ripe, and it will taste very delicious...

Yan Huai's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily; he felt hot, yet also very comfortable.

thump—

"Hey! You two, stop playing dead! I'm still out there! Give me a shout!"

There was also a man with black glasses outside the door...

Yan Huai regretted the prank he had just played; he should have just sneaked in!

Yan Huai slowly released Zhang Qiling's arm and took a step back. A cold wind flowed between the two of them, and the chill was strong, making Yan Huai want to pull Zhang Qiling back into his arms.

"Okay, I'll be more polite next time I stay at your place. May I stay here tonight?" Yan Huai's tone was pleading for Black Glasses to leave quickly. Although he asked this on the surface, he wouldn't leave tonight regardless of whether Black Glasses agreed or not.

And obviously, Black Glasses knew this very well, so you can't blame him!

"Sure, I'll stay here! It'll cost you a thousand yuan, pay upfront!"

"You're robbing me!" Yan Huai's eyes widened slightly. Who charges a thousand for a night's lodging?

"If you think it's too expensive, you can always find somewhere else to stay~" The cheeky tone made Yan Huai want to go out and fight Black Glasses!

No wonder he's a Pixiu! I'll endure it all for Zhang Qiling!

Yan Huai swallowed his anger and said to the system in his mind, "System, put a thousand yuan in my pocket!"

"Good host!"

As soon as the system finished speaking, Yan Huai felt a slight bulge in the inside pocket of his suit. He took out the money and was about to go over to open the door for Black Glasses to give him the money, but before he could take a step, his arm was grabbed by Zhang Qiling.

Zhang Qiling looked at him like he was a child who didn't know how to spend money. He adopted a "look, I'll demonstrate" attitude, took a hundred yuan from Yan Huai's hand, and then strode aggressively toward the man in black glasses by the door.

Yan Huai only felt a cold glint flash in the black gold ancient sword in Zhang Qiling's right hand as he moved. He chuckled and put the remaining nine hundred yuan into his system space, then crossed his arms and waited to watch the show.

Meanwhile, after opening the door, Zhang Qiling glanced at Black Glasses expressionlessly, slapped the hundred-yuan note in his hand onto Black Glasses' chest, and even threatened him with a knife.

Looking at the scene before him, Yan Huai felt an indescribable, agonizing feeling.

I really like it so much that I suddenly feel it's especially worth spending a thousand yuan.

Yan Huai cast a provocative glance at the man with the black glasses—"Sigh~ You can't beat me, and you can't even beat Zhang Qiling, how pathetic! One hundred yuan, hope you don't mind~"

Black Glasses' lips twitched slightly, and his gaze behind his sunglasses sent two international friendly gestures to Yan Huai from afar—you brat, I'll remember this!

In the end, Yan Huai won decisively, while Black Glasses neatly folded the hundred yuan Zhang Qiling had given him, turned around and left without looking back.

The room fell silent instantly. Zhang Qiling closed the door, turned around, and sheathed his knife.

"Yan Huai."

"Hmm!" Yan Huai's eyes lit up instantly, much like a router receiving a signal.

"You...you weren't in any danger, were you? Did things go smoothly? Did the Wang family give you any trouble? What about Wu Sansheng...?"

Zhang Qiling's lips moved; he had so many questions, but because of Yan Huai's sudden appearance, these questions seemed illogical.

"Zhang Qiling," Yan Huai said with a smile, walking up to Zhang Qiling and pulling him into his arms. He wanted to hold him tighter, but his tone was different, more cautious. "Zhang Qiling, I think I like you..."
