The Scent of Danger

High-speed rail travel is so convenient now. A train departing from Zhejiang at 9:00 AM arrives at 11:30 AM.

We arrived in Su City.

"Auntie, let me carry it!" The youthful and beautiful Wang Zijin took Lu Ran's bag.

"What does this mean?" Lu Ran tried to take it, but Wang Zijin dodged her.

"Auntie, An Ning and I are Su Qi's new roommates! We'll be living together from now on! I'm all set." Wang Zijin said with a smile, her smile as warm as the spring breeze in March.

Seeing that Su Qi was looking over, Zijing winked playfully at her with her almond-shaped eyes. Su Qi felt as if she had been shot in the heart. It had only been a few days since they last met, but why did Zijin seem to have become even more playful and youthful?

Especially on that day, she was only wearing denim shorts, which perfectly showcased the curves of her incredibly long, white legs.

Looking at those long legs reminded Su Qi of their first meeting, after class when she held Su Qi's hand.

Thinking back to that scene, Su Qi could still feel the smooth, cool touch on her hands.

Wang Zijin looked at Su Qi, her hands making a grasping motion. Unlike Su Qi, she was thinking of the scene when Su Qi trapped her that day, and her face flushed slightly.

Looking at Wang Zijin and then at An Ning's doting manner towards Su Qi, Lu Ran felt relieved.

What pleased her most was that both of them were mature and seemed capable of keeping an eye on Su Qi, preventing this little girl from being deceived by others.

Because I needed to pick someone up, I was driving Mercedes-Benz G-Class from An Ning.

When putting down her luggage, An Ning deliberately took the luggage from Wang Zijin's hands.

Pulling Su Qi to the trunk, Su Qi felt it was better to put the food in there herself. After all, so many days had passed, and the sensitive period was over; she, as the man, still had to do the physical work.

As the trunk slowly rose, An Ning pounced on it.

After the trunk was fully opened, Su Qi watched as his calm An Ning methodically put away the luggage.

If it weren't for the slight smudge of lipstick on her lips, Su Qi would have thought that her recent outburst was just a hallucination.

An Ning was wearing a white white casual short-sleeved shirt and pants, looking very refreshing.

The logo on that top, however, was chosen because of Mrs. An Ning's impressive figure, combining the letters "l" and "e".

It looked so big that looking at those two letters made Su Qi feel a little dizzy.

On the bus, Su Qi watched as Wang Zijin, whose social skills were maxed out, made his mother very happy, and thought to herself that her wife, Zijin, was really amazing.

If it were me, I would definitely be too nervous to speak when I met Zijin's mother.

Officer Zhang Ru had met Wang Zijin at school and even told Lu Ran that she was the one who saved Su Qi. After that, Lu Ran felt that Wang Zijin was becoming more and more eccentric.

The conversation became increasingly open and varied, but Su Qi found it all the more and more strange.

Why does my mother always talk about my third brother, Su Santai? Does she intend to make my Zijin Zijing...?

My mother-in-law introduced me to my own brother, what kind of marriage is this? No way!

Su Qi never dreamed that one day her mother would actually have her brother cheat on her?!

Hearing her mother say this, Su Qi felt a headache coming on. She quickly betrayed her brother, saying, "Mom, I've seen my third brother, he has a girlfriend. And Zijin, that classmate, also has someone he likes. Please stop playing matchmaker!"

"What? The other man has a girlfriend? How come I didn't know? Why didn't he tell me? I'll have to call him later and ask him." Lu Ran said angrily.

Far away in Hainan, Su Santai was showing off his perfectly toned abs in a swimsuit, enjoying the sea breeze, and then... he caught a cold. An Ning watched Su Qi in the passenger seat with great interest, finding her expression quite amusing. Let her experience the thrill of flirting with someone; thinking of this little girl's suitors Bai Miao and Wang Yun, An Ning felt incredibly satisfied.

Wang Zijin also found it very interesting, especially seeing Su Qi blushing and flustered as she explained herself for her sake.

What pleased her most was that Su Qi almost instinctively called out "Zi Jin." It seemed her training of her master had made some progress. The car quickly entered the Green City Residential Area, and the gatekeeper immediately recognized Su Qi.

"Little girl, you've been really popular these past few days! I've seen your videos several times while scrolling through them. Be careful, though, a lot of reporters are looking for you around here!" the security guard whispered.

Su Qi felt a little depressed after listening to the uncle's words. Why had she, an unknown nobody, suddenly become so famous? Did she have to go out wearing a mask, hat, and trench coat like her older brother in the future?

Thinking about it this way, Su Qi realized that her appearance hadn't changed much from before. After all, she had always been a gloomy, inconspicuous character.

She adjusted her hat and said, "Okay, security guard, where is Sister Bai Miao?" The security guard scratched his head and said, "I haven't seen her for the past two days. I'll have her look for you when she comes back. "Su Qi could only nod, feeling even more guilty towards Bai Miao.

Little did Su Qi know that his two wives, overhearing their husbands mention other women, felt like they were being cuckolded. If Lu Ran and Zhang Ru hadn't been there, Su Qi would have immediately realized how formidable his wives were.

However, for now, the two could only silently record this debt in their little notebooks, while Su Qi remained unaware of it.

After An Ning parked the car, everyone took the elevator together to the 15th floor.

Su Qi, sitting in this somewhat familiar elevator, felt that time was passing quickly; a few days had passed in the blink of an eye.

I opened the long-sealed door. The house, which hadn't been used for seven days, didn't smell of dust. Instead, it had a familiar fragrance.

As Wang Yun's younger sister, Wang Zijin was very familiar with the scent; wasn't this her older sister's perfume?

Just then, Lu Ran took off her shoes, picked up a note from the coffee table, and read it aloud, "Little Su Qi, have you missed me? I cleaned the house for you and bought you a hairdryer. Remember to blow-dry your hair after your shower, whoosh whoosh whoosh—from Sister Yun." Su Qi felt a little embarrassed hearing "whoosh whoosh whoosh" from her mother's mouth.

"Who is this Sister Yun?" Lu Ran asked.

"It's the landlord here, Zijin, Zijin's older sister. I asked her to come and clean the bathroom."

Hearing Su Qi's explanation, Lu Ran, who had been somewhat skeptical, felt relieved. After all, as the landlord, she couldn't...

Just walk into any tenant's door!

Unbeknownst to Lu Ran, her daughter had already become the landlady's bed-warming boy.

Su Qi patted her heart, almost blurting out "Zi Jin" again, a close call.

But to the two women at the door, this scene was a sign of a guilty conscience.

Officer Zhang Ru quietly moved a little further away from the two women; as a police officer, she always felt that the two women had a dangerous air about them.
