He Xiaofei still didn’t know that Lin Tian and the other three had already sealed the door shut from the inside, and it wasn’t sothing they could tell her, so the four of them had no choice but to keep the beautiful class monitor company and seal it again from the outside.
While they were sealing the door, Zhao Weitao and Xiao Zhao stood in the distance, watching them busily work with mocking expressions.
"Brother Zhao, these people are really dumb. We’ve already been inside. What the hell is the point of sealing the door now?" Xiao Zhao looked smug, as if sneaking into the basent behind everyone’s back made him so kind of superhero and was sothing totally worth showing off.
Zhao Weitao was also wearing a cold smirk. "Won are always more timid, always overthinking everything. If her dad wasn’t a professor at the university, you think the president would’ve made her head of the activities group? We went in and out, and we’re perfectly fine, aren’t we?"
"Back then Zhao Zilong charged in and out seven tis. Today we go in and out like there’s no one there, haha. If she saw those bugs, she’d probably be scared to the point of pissing herself. I really wanna see what a beauty looks like when she pees her pants." Xiao Zhao chuckled lewdly, looking extrely sleazy.
"You’ve really got so twisted tastes. But I like it, haha..." Zhao Weitao reached out and tapped Xiao Zhao, then suddenly burst out laughing.
"Forget about them. It’s about ti, let’s go eat. What do you want? It’s my treat." Zhao Weitao planned to leave without regrouping or saying anything to anyone.
Taking advantage of the mont when He Xiaofei went to close the door, the two slipped quietly out of the old campus area. As they turned to leave, both of them subconsciously scratched their heads.
"Brother Zhao, do you feel like your head’s a bit itchy?" Xiao Zhao’s voice sounded.
Zhao Weitao also subconsciously scratched his head and said, "We were crawling all over that underground passage. What’s so strange about an itchy head? We’ll eat, go back, and take a shower, it’ll be fine."
On Lin Tian’s side, they finally finished sealing the door completely, and the sky was starting to get dark.
He Xiaofei checked the ti and began calling each group’s mbers to gather. Wu Xiuluo also gathered her own mbers and counted heads. The Mysterious Society left first. Before leaving, Wu Xiuluo turned back to glance at Lin Tian, her expression hard to read.
The Explorers’ Association also did a headcount, and then realized two people were missing. This gave He Xiaofei quite a scare. They had just sealed the door—if soone had been sealed inside, or sothing happened sowhere else, it would be a huge problem.
Lin Tian swept his eyes over the line and reminded them out loud, "Zhao Weitao and Xiao Zhao are missing."
"Leader He, I think I saw the two of them leave earlier," a male mber said.
"He’s the head of the external relations group, a club officer, and still this undisciplined? It’s ridiculous." So mbers began muttering quietly.
He Xiaofei imdiately took out her phone and dialed Zhao Weitao. She called three tis in a row before he finally picked up.
"Zhao Weitao, where are you and Xiao Zhao right now?" He Xiaofei forced herself to be patient.
"What? Our great Leader He cares about us this much? Want to ask the two of us out?" Zhao Weitao’s frivolous voice ca through the speaker. Lin Tian naturally heard it and frowned.
He Xiaofei frowned as well, raising her voice: "The activity isn’t over yet, and you two just took off on your own. Do you have any sense of discipline at all?"
"Don’t use that tone with . In the club, you may be the vice president and also the head of the activities group, but I’m not under you. I’m in external relations. I’m responsible for myself, humph!" Zhao Weitao was extrely arrogant. After a few cold snorts he hung up straight away, not giving He Xiaofei the chance to say another word.
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, He Xiaofei’s expression was very ugly, but she finally felt a little relieved inside. At least no one was in trouble.
"Mr. Zhao and Xiao Zhao are confird to have gone back. Today’s activity ends here. Once all group leaders and mbers are back, sort out the photos and videos you’ve got in hand. We’ll have a eting to compile everything later. Alright, dismissed." He Xiaofei lifted her head to look at the mbers and announced the end of the activity.
All the mbers dispersed, and only Lin Tian’s group of three remained at the scene. Xiao Manxuan stepped forward to comfort her, "Sister Xiaofei, don’t be upset. That Zhao Weitao has always been full of himself. Just ignore him."
He Xiaofei shook her head and sighed. "That’s not what I’m upset about. I just can’t shake this uneasy feeling, like sothing’s going to happen."
Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan exchanged a look, thinking that it wasn’t that sothing was going to happen—it had already happened. But in the end, He Xiaofei was just an ordinary person; worrying wouldn’t help anything.
"Forget it, let’s go eat. Oh right, co to my place. My dad’s free tonight, he’ll cook sothing good for us." He Xiaofei forcibly blocked out the uneasiness in her heart and cheerfully invited the two of them to her house as guests.
Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan were a little surprised. "The professor’s that busy and still cooks?"
"Of course. My dad’s cooking is even better than my mom’s. He’s amazing." He Xiaofei said proudly. The girl clearly admired her father a lot.
"We didn’t give any notice in advance. Going over at this hour, won’t it be a bit abrupt?" Xiao Manxuan felt a little embarrassed.
He Xiaofei stepped up, grabbed her hand, and walked off with her while laughing. "It’s fine. You think my dad is that kind of stiff, old-fashioned professor? He’s really easygoing. I’ll call and tell him now."
The beautiful class monitor was decisive and efficient. She imdiately took out her phone to call her dad, not even giving Lin Tian and the other a chance to refuse.
Once things were decided, Lin Tian could only go along with it. Still, her dad was the chief engineer and overall head of the life sciences lab, and Lin Tian himself was a student in the School of Life Sciences. Thinking about it, he figured there was no harm in paying a visit.
He Xiaofei’s family lived in a villa on campus. With her father being a world-class authority, an expert in the field of life sciences, the university naturally allocated him a villa, a car, and a whole range of benefits.
The big-na professors all lived in the campus villa district. The environnt was countless tis better than the apartnt dorms where Lin Tian lived: lush trees, tranquil surroundings, and most importantly, it was by the lake, with scenery that was nothing short of spectacular.
When He Xiaofei opened the door, what greeted Lin Tian and the other was a middle-aged couple. The middle-aged man wore a white dress shirt and slacks, with firm, sharp facial lines and a well-defined profile. He must have been quite the looker when he was young—of course, even now he was still a man with mature charm.
The few white hairs on his head were probably from overworking his brain. Instead of hurting his image, they made people feel an extra touch of respect.
The middle-aged woman looked younger by contrast, dressed in ho clothes, beautiful and dignified in appearance. As soon as they t, He Xiaofei called out "Dad, Mom."
This left Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan feeling flattered and a bit overwheld. So this was Professor He and his wife—the two seniors had actually co to the door to welco them, which instantly felt very warm and friendly.
But in the very next mont, Lin Tian was dumbfounded. The middle-aged woman’s very first glance went straight to him. Her eyes lit up and her face broke into a broad smile. She took two steps forward, grabbed Lin Tian’s hand, and then said sothing that made Lin Tian want to collapse on the spot.
"Xiaofei, I didn’t expect you to get yourself such a handso boyfriend. He’s even more handso than your dad was when he was young." the middle-aged woman said very happily.
