Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Conditions for Check-In

When Zhu Fei returned to the school team, he saw that the teachers were already recounting the number of students, preparing to head back to school.

After all, they had reached an agreement with the police after the recent period of time, and naturally, the police also wanted them to leave the crime scene as soon as possible.

So, when Zhu Fei came over to Tang Mengyun and Pan Tingting, the two girls had already packed up everything.

Yet at this moment, their faces were full of concern, their eyes continuously glancing in the direction of the crime scene they had been before.

It wasn’t until Zhu Fei truly came back that the worry on the girls’ faces finally dissipated.

"Zhu Fei, where on earth did you go just now? I asked Tingting, and she also said she didn’t know, you nearly drove me to death with worry!"

Tang Mengyun, with a face full of anger, rushed in front of Zhu Fei and began to interrogate him.

It wasn’t strange for her to react like this, since Zhu Fei’s departure had been somewhat suspicious, and she had an instinctive feeling that something was not right, which made her increasingly worried and anxious the more she thought about it.

The moment Zhu Fei came back, she could hardly wait and started getting a little angry with Zhu Fei.

Seeing Tang Mengyun’s angry yet concerned face, Zhu Fei felt a warmth in his heart and couldn’t help but tease her with a chuckle,

"Hehe, I’m fine, aren’t I? But Mengyun, this is the first time I’ve realized that you actually care about me so much."

Zhu Fei’s sudden teasing made Tang Mengyun’s pretty face turn slightly red.

However, she immediately recovered and retorted angrily, "Hmph! Conceited jerk, I... I don’t care about you at all, I don’t care if you die."

Although Tang Mengyun said this, the blush on her face grew thicker, almost spreading to the back of her ears.

"Hehe, alright, alright, I was wrong just now, I promise, I won’t let anything like this happen again."

Seeing Tang Mengyun’s current state, Zhu Fei knew when to back off and so he smiled and took the initiative to "admit his mistake."

"Hmph!"

Hearing Zhu Fei’s words, Tang Mengyun glared at him irritably again but didn’t make things difficult for him, instead, she stomped her feet indignantly and then turned around to walk in the direction of the main group.

Watching Tang Mengyun’s retreating figure, Zhu Fei touched his nose and couldn’t help but smile wryly and shake his head.

Then, he turned his gaze to Pan Tingting beside him, who was looking at him with an almost mocking expression, making the wry smile on Zhu Fei’s face deepen even further.

"Ahem..."

Suddenly, Pan Tingting coughed a few times, the teasing expression on her face disappearing as she spoke seriously, "Zhu Fei, that person just now...?"

Knowing what Pan Tingting wanted to ask, Zhu Fei shook his head somewhat helplessly and said, "He got away."

Saying this, Zhu Fei suddenly seemed to remember something and added, "By the way, Pan Tingting, if I’m not mistaken, where you live is near the Yun family’s home, right?"

Pan Tingting’s face changed slightly, and she responded warily, "What do you mean by that? My home is near the Yun family’s, what does that have to do with you? I’m telling you, Zhu..."

"Yeah, that’s correct, Pan Tingting, you wouldn’t mind letting me stay at your place for a while, would you?"

Before Pan Tingting could finish, Zhu Fei interrupted, "Actually, there’s a reason I need to stay at your place, because earlier, that..."

"What? You want to stay at my place? Zhu Fei, are you kidding? No way! I absolutely refuse! Zhu Fei, I don’t care what your reasons are, in any case, you staying at my place is absolutely impossible!"

This time, Pan Tingting didn’t let Zhu Fei finish, interrupting with an alarmed exclamation.

What kind of joke was this? Putting aside the fact that she, Pan Tingting, as a girl, couldn’t possibly let a boy just move into her place,

Just the secrets she herself held, which couldn’t be easily revealed to others, made it absolutely impossible for her to let Zhu Fei move in.

Seeing Pan Tingting’s unexpectedly strong reaction, Zhu Fei couldn’t help but be a little stunned for a moment.

However, after a brief moment of contemplation, he began to understand Pan Tingting’s reaction.

But protecting Tang Mengyun was so crucial that Zhu Fei couldn’t possibly directly ask to move into the Yun family’s home, could he? Left with no choice, he had to set his sights on Pan Tingting.

After all, according to Zhu Fei’s own judgment, it seemed that she lived alone in her home.

So after waiting for Pan Tingting’s emotions to settle down, Zhu Fei explained patiently, "Pan Tingting, you must have heard about the recent incidents involving the Murderer, right?"

"Yes, I suspect that the next person the Murderer might be targeting is Mengyun, so until we completely eliminate that threat, I need to stay covertly close to protect Mengyun."

As he spoke, Zhu Fei recounted the details of his encounters with the Murderer to Pan Tingting once again.

After listening to Zhu Fei’s story, Pan Tingting, who had been disgruntled and on guard, suddenly fell silent.

She just stood there quietly, deep in thought for quite some time.

Zhu Fei wasn’t in a hurry; he simply waited patiently.

He knew that his request was indeed a bit too much for Pan Tingting.

If he had any other options, he wouldn’t have chosen to do this.

But Zhu Fei was also confident that, in the end, Pan Tingting would agree to his request.

Sure enough, after a bit of thought, Pan Tingting finally looked up at Zhu Fei again.

Only this time, her expression wasn’t as opposing as before but showed a hint of concern.

"Zhu Fei, are you sure you can really protect Mengyun when the time comes?"

Zhu Fei nodded, his gaze becoming slightly cold.

"Don’t worry, anyone who tries to harm my friends will not succeed unless they kill me first. I’ll do whatever it takes to stop them."

Hearing Zhu Fei speak so resolutely, Pan Tingting finally nodded and said, "Okay, I can let you move into my house, but there are a few conditions you have to agree to."

After a brief pause, she continued, "First, you can’t wander around my house except in the areas I designate."

"Second, this matter of you coming to my house, you can’t mention it to anyone, including Mengyun."

"Third..."

At this point, Pan Tingting’s cheeks turned a shade redder.

But she still went on, "Third, you... you can’t do anything improper to me when you’re there, and there are some other conditions, which I can’t think of right now but will let you know later."

"In short, there are some things in my house that you must listen to me about."

After hearing Pan Tingting’s conditions, Zhu Fei was momentarily speechless.

But in the end, he nodded and agreed, "Fine, I can agree to those things."

"However, you are also aware of who we both are, and I won’t allow you to interfere with my personal matters as well."

"Mhm, it’s a deal."

Hearing Zhu Fei’s words, Pan Tingting didn’t make it difficult for him but readily agreed.

Unconsciously, in their exchange, they had already acknowledged some secrets to each other.

...

A short while later, Zhu Fei and the others were gradually led back to the school under the guidance of some teachers.
