Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Changing the Lock for Better Security

The little hand kept moving upwards until Qin Guanglin couldn’t help but catch it through his clothes, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing."

"It’s time to eat." He checked his watch, it was already past noon and almost one in the afternoon.

He felt an inexplicable tingling at the bottom of his heart—was it a craving?

"Let’s lie down a bit longer..." He Fang said lazily, not wanting to move, "I’m not hungry yet."

"You need to eat even if you’re not hungry."

Qin Guanglin took her hand away and got up from the bed, "Should I get takeout for you?"

"Yes, I want..." She stared at the ceiling for a moment before deciding what to eat: "KFC’s fried chicken drumstick, with a chicken wrap."

"Okay, just relax and wait for me to come back with the takeout." Qin Guanglin called out and then went downstairs to eat.

Hearing the door shut, He Fang turned over in bed, then after a moment, she got up and went to the desk, pulling out the encyclopedia of pregnancy and childbirth and gently flipping it open. She looked at the circles and red lines marked in pen and sighed silently.

Leave it to fate, do what one can.

Besides that, one could only hope for the elusive gods and Buddhas.

She closed her eyes and stood still for a while, then when she opened them again, the trace of worry between her brows was hidden. She stretched out her hand to open a drawer and put the book in, then turned and walked to the window to look outside.

Seize the present and the future will be easier to handle.

When Qin Guanglin returned, He Fang was already watering the plants with a cup in hand. He set down the bag on the table and opened it, "Here’s your chicken drumstick and wrap, and I packed some steamed dumplings for you too."

"That’s so nice." He Fang turned and sat on the sofa, taking a bite of the chicken drumstick, "And you?"

"I’ll have two burgers and the wrap." Qin Guanglin took two burger boxes out of the bag, "Are you not putting that plant on the balcony?"

"This plant thrives in the shade; it can’t be exposed to the sun."

"I see... Is the chicken drumstick tasty?"

"Delicious. Try a bite." He Fang offered the drumstick for him to taste, "Good, isn’t it?"

"It’s okay."

"What do you mean ’okay’? It’s delicious."

"Yeah, it’s delicious."

After finishing lunch, Qin Guanglin cleaned up the packaging and takeout bags, then ran to He Fang’s bed and lay down, rolling around twice, "Can I sleep here?"

"No."

"I’ll sleep anyway, don’t bother me." He closed his eyes, wanting to nap.

Teacher He’s bed, tsk, truly comfortable.

"Then cover yourself well so you don’t catch a cold." He Fang draped a thin blanket over him to prevent him from getting cold.

Qin Guanglin lay quietly for a while, then suddenly sat up, "I almost forgot something!"

He Fang was about to sneak a touch of his stomach when his sudden movement startled her, "What is it?"

"We need to change the lock." He stood up and pulled out his phone, "Otherwise, what if the previous tenant kept a key?"

"That’s not necessary..."

"It is."

Qin Guanglin ran to the corridor outside, where several ads for lock-changing services were posted on the wall; he chose a reliable one and directly dialed the number.

"Aren’t you afraid the locksmith will keep a copy of the key?" He Fang thought he was being overly cautious.

"You stay in the room, don’t come out."

"..."

An hour and a half passed before the locksmith finally arrived at the door, carrying a large cloth bag and squatting down to open his toolbox, "Which lock do you want to replace?"

Qin Guanglin had no idea what kinds of locks there were and simply said, "A sturdy one, a good one."

"Alright, then this one." The locksmith was used to these requests and directly took out a better one, "The lock core is a hundred, labor fee is another hundred, two hundred in total, okay?"

"No problem."

Receiving an affirmative response, the locksmith took out his tools and began to work busily.

The neighborhood’s security was quite good; Qin Guanglin just wanted some peace of mind. He stood by watching him fiddle with the lock, and after everything was set up and he had paid and received the keys, his sense of security instantly increased a great deal.

After closing the door and testing it a few times with no issues, he watched the locksmith leave, then turned and went back to the bedroom to hand the keys to He Fang, "Here, now the landlord can’t just come in whenever they want."

"They own several buildings, why would they bother coming here for no reason?" He Fang took the keys and twirled them around her finger twice, "Aren’t you keeping one?"

"I’m waiting for you to give me one."

"I thought you didn’t want it." She detached a key from the key ring and handed it to Qin Guanglin, "All set, now go get some sleep if there’s nothing else, did you stay up late last night?"

"It was okay, I went to bed rather late."

Qin Guanglin yawned and lay down on the bed, "Wake me up around four or five o’clock, we’ll go to my house for dinner tonight."

"Are you cooking?"

"Sure, I’m really good at stir-fried vegetables now."

After a bit of casual chatter, the room fell silent. Teacher He’s bed felt different unique, soft and fragrant, and emotionally comforting. Qin Guanglin, lying on his side and hugging He Fang, closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.

Listening to the steady breathing behind her, He Fang continued to play with her phone in one hand, and sneakily stretched the other hand behind her to touch his belly. Not satisfied after a while, she gently turned to face him, her small hand gliding from his belly to his lower back, then crawling to his back, before returning to the front.

Hmm, it seemed like there was a bit of muscle there?

She ran her fingers over inch by inch, couldn’t help but snicker at the sight of Qin Guanglin sleeping soundly, and then decided to put the phone down, hug him, and prepare to sleep for a while too.

She had a feeling of striking it big—as if she had fed him too well before, and this time she would have to push him to work out.

Hmm, running would be good, or maybe buying some dumbbells or something. She would have to check out some strategies another day.

The sun slowly moved to the window, then gradually set, and the two people in the room slept soundly in each other’s embrace, with only the air conditioner making a soft, low noise, working hard to cool the room on a summer afternoon.

As expected, Qin Guanglin, who was supposed to be woken up around four or five o’clock, wasn’t called, but woke up after having enough rest. It was already five o’clock when he checked the time, and He Fang was still nestled in his arms sleeping sweetly.

"..."

He cautiously observed He Fang for a long time, making sure she was really asleep, before carefully starting to pull her arm out.

Fortunately, she was asleep, or else Qin Guanglin almost thought she was going to play that game with paranormal abilities again—although it was kind of fun... Okay, it was very fun, but he still resisted it internally, feeling that it was rather strange.

He held his breath as he slowly pulled out the arm, but He Fang, half-asleep, noticed Qin Guanglin’s movement and rudely pressed her hand down again, rubbing it around.

"Hey... you..." Qin Guanglin couldn’t help but frown.

"What are you doing?" He Fang opened her eyes discontentedly to look at him.

"What do you think you’re doing?"

"..."

"..."

"You actually do such a thing while I’m asleep?" He Fang disdainfully pulled her hand back, "You’re such a lech."

"I..." Qin Guanglin choked on his words, indignant, "It was clearly you!"

"You were holding my hand just now."

"I was trying to pull it out."

"Do you think anyone would believe that?" He Fang looked down and away, "Look at how it was."

"..."

Qin Guanglin was infuriated by her accusation, clearly, this woman was lusting after his body!
