A Message in the Cool Breeze (2-in-1)

Qin Yanan played with the red thread for a while, muttering about Liu Chang'an with a blank expression, and then picked up the little cloth tiger and pressed it against her cheek.

At that moment, the bedroom door was pushed open, the sound was extremely faint, but you could feel the air moving.

Qin Yanan was slightly nervous, but her composure kept her calm. She sat there nonchalantly, not turning her head to look.

He slowly walked up to her, his steps deliberate and unhurried.

Out of the corner of Qin Yanan's eye, she saw a pair of bare male legs, wearing hotel slippers, and seemingly also wearing a hotel bathrobe, which was open.

Wait a minute, I prepared new pajamas and bathrobes for Liu Chang'an. For someone who values quality of life, it's already quite good that a bathrobe from a hotel costs a thousand or even several thousand yuan, but there are always better alternatives.

Qin Yanan recalled a type of male character often seen on television: wearing only a bathrobe and underwear, or with two women on either side and a glass of red wine in his hand.

His peripheral vision slowly shifted upwards, and it really was true! What was Liu Chang'an thinking?

A cool breeze carries tidings, the autumn moon shines brightly... My longing for my beloved feels like each day is an eternity...

This is Leslie Cheung's 1988 song "Autumn Regret on a Journey," Liu Chang'an is actually singing it... wait, that's not Liu Chang'an's voice!

Qin Yanan looked up abruptly and saw Ma Weiming, who had just apologized to her and promised never to harass her again, standing in front of her, looking at Qin Yanan with a "longing for her" expression.

In the deep of night, a strange man, a man who should absolutely not be there at this time, shocked Qin Yanan, making her momentarily feel as if she were dreaming.

"My name is Ma, and my given name is not given. I admire a woman of exceptional beauty, Qin Ya Nan. I admire her for her voice, her beauty, and her temperament. Moreover, she possesses both talent and beauty. Today, we are separated by distance and cannot meet. Thus, I sit alone on a quiet boat in the cool evening..."

"Ma Weiming, what are you doing here!" Qin Yanan finally came to her senses and her face darkened when she heard Ma Weiming still singing his adapted version of "Autumn Regret on a Journey".

"I said I wouldn't come to the top of Mount Lu to see the view again, but is it strange that I booked a room at this hotel to relax and clear my mind?" Ma Weiming tugged at his bathrobe, but didn't seem to intend to tie it with a belt.

"Then you should be in your own room, not in mine." Qin Yanan's face was so dark it could drip water. This Ma Weiming must have lost his mind... Qin Yanan didn't actually find it strange that Ma Weiming was acting so irrationally. When a man reaches a certain level, when he becomes particularly arrogant, he wants to know what kind of control he has over certain people and things he cares about. Just like some men of high status who routinely use force on women, besides desire, it's often more about the mentality of, "I want you, but you won't give it to me? I can't control you?"

This mentality is also reflected in the relationship between the boss and the secretary or assistant. He will try to control the secretary or assistant's life, feelings, and even body to demonstrate his control, just like a dog urinates to declare that it is its territory. In essence, there is no difference.

"I can't sleep alone, and it's chilly in the autumn air. Don't you need someone to warm your bed?" Ma Weiming turned around and locked the bedroom door. He squeezed the doorknob before slowly walking away from Hu Lai.

Qin Yanan secretly scoffed, "That Liu Chang'an must have fallen asleep after eating! He never really trusted me, unlike last time when he was so concerned. He probably just went through the motions of monitoring her 'sleepwalking,' so he didn't really care whether she was sleepwalking or not!" Qin Yanan sighed inwardly, realizing that even the most meticulous plans can have flaws. She hadn't considered this possibility and should have learned her lesson long ago. Liu Chang'an was not someone to be judged by ordinary standards.

Frustrated by her near failure, Qin Yanan raised her head and stared intently at Ma Weiming was so brazenly defiant.

Qin Yanan was somewhat surprised that Ma Weiming would do such a thing. After all, anyone with a modicum of rationality, considering her identity and the consequences, would probably have to swallow a lot of courage.

But who cares about his motives at this point? Qin Yanan sneered. Although she wouldn't kill Ma Weiming outright, she would at least take half of his life.

"Beauty, come here." Ma Weiming opened his arms and pounced on her, like a rich young master playing with the maid in his room.

Qin Yanan easily dodged, turned around and swept her leg behind him with a kick, landing mercilessly on Ma Weiming's lower back.

To Qin Yanan's surprise, Ma Weiming stumbled but regained his balance and turned around nonchalantly.

"You've got some skill." Ma Weiming pulled his hands out from the thick sleeves of his bathrobe and touched his waist. "Miss Qin, are you familiar with the Nikola Tesla Medical Research Center?"

"What?" Qin Yanan wasn't too concerned about Ma Weiming skills and physique, but the fact that he mentioned a medical research center at this moment made Qin Yanan a little curious about what this research center did.

Because of my own physical abnormalities, I can't help but pay attention to things like medical research centers and biological research centers.

"Never heard of it."

"Ever since I was humiliated twice by your suitors, I secretly vowed to avenge myself. Coincidentally, I know the president of the Nikola Tesla Medical Research Center, and he told me that they are researching a gene therapy drug that can significantly improve a person's physical abilities in a short period of time."

"Heh, you've watched too many science fiction movies, haven't you?" Qin Yanan sneered, but in her heart she was skeptical, and even began to wonder if the reason for her own physical mutation was also related to these unknown experimental technological achievements.

"If it hadn't worked, I wouldn't have dared to appear before you... That kick you gave me just now, if it were me before, I would already be sprawled on the ground." Ma Weiming smiled and extended his hand, "Miss Qin, a fight at the head of the bed is reconciled at the foot of the bed, please continue, the night is long, take your time playing around."

Qin Yanan didn't act rashly; she simply took two steps back. Qin Yanan had no idea what abilities he would gain if he actually used this gene serum, so naturally she was being cautious.

At this moment, Ma Weiming pounced again, in the same posture as before.

This was not the attack method of a martial arts expert at all. When Qin Yanan saw his horizontal lunge around her waist, which seemed to be his way of tackling her onto the bed, she was both ashamed and angry. She quickly dodged Ma Weiming's lunge and delivered an elbow strike to Ma Weiming's shoulder blade from behind.

Qin Yanan didn't hold back this time. Even a normal, strong man would have his shoulder blade shattered and instantly lose the ability to move if he took that blow.

She tried elbowing the steel plate; although it was impossible to break through, the degree of deformation made her aware of her own strength.

But Ma Weiming fell onto the bed, bounced a few times, pressed his cheek against the blanket, and slowly turned over, revealing a surprising and disgusting smile.

He stood up again, straightened his bathrobe, and looked at Qin Yanan with a roguish grin.

Qin Yanan was furious. Her eyes were fixed on Ma Weiming's shoulder. She put one hand in front of her body and suddenly struck Ma Weiming's waist and ribs with the other.

A fragrant breeze wafted through the air, her loose hair flowing like black light. The force of her fair arms crashed down, and she bent her knees forward, her beautiful legs taut beneath her cheongsam, yet still maintaining their curves. When she felt the force of the fist and the other party's actions did not retaliate as expected, Qin Yanan's left leg quietly emerged from under the front hem of her cheongsam, her toes taut, and her entire calf thrust hard into the man's lower abdomen.

"A kick that will cut off your offspring!"

Ma Weiming's voice rang in her ears. Qin Yanan did not expect that her leg would be trapped by Ma Weiming, and the fist that had hit her waist and ribs seemed to have no effect on her.

Qin Yanan realized something. Ma Weiming's physical abilities had suddenly become stronger, but he hadn't learned any fighting techniques. He just had faster reflexes and greater strength, which could be seen from his horizontal tackle.

However, his physical strength was terrifying. Qin Yanan did not give up. Taking advantage of the moment when he could not restrain his arms, Qin Yanan threw a series of punches at close range, all of which landed on his chest.

Ma Weiming was swayed by her force and had to release his legs. Qin Yanan regained her freedom, quickly ran to the bedside, took out a gun from the drawer, and looked coldly at Ma Weiming.

Ma Weiming raised his hand, seemingly completely unaware that Qin Yanan had this thing in her drawer.

Qin Yanan certainly had one. When Liu Chang'an went to challenge Pu Shougeng, Qin Yanan went along, and she had one in her bag.

"Miss Qin, you shouldn't play with this kind of gun..." Ma Weiming finished speaking, and his figure had already disappeared from the spot.

Qin Yanan's eyes couldn't keep up with Ma Weiming's speed. She only felt a finger inserted into the trigger of the pistol and held it firmly. Then, one hand grabbed hers, Ma Weiming leaned into her arms, his other hand tightly embracing Qin Yanan's slender and soft waist.

Qin Yanan was utterly shocked. Such speed and reaction were far superior to her own. Could this gene serum truly possess such terrifying transformative power?

No wonder Ma Weiming was so audacious; his confidence probably stemmed from some kind of leverage... Qin Yanan gritted her teeth to calm herself down. She had to stay calm... Now that she was in Ma Weiming's hands, if she didn't find a chance to escape, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He gripped her hand harder and harder, his fingers pushing open her palm, and the gun he was holding fell to the ground.

"Miss Qin, you've surprised me too. You possess superhuman strength and speed," Ma Weiming said with great admiration.

"You think it's just you..." Qin Yanan suddenly turned her head, but her words stopped abruptly because Ma Weiming's face was right in front of her.

There was only the distance between her nose and his nose, the width of a coin lying horizontally. You could count each of his eyelashes clearly. His eyes reflected her shock and disbelief. His breath was almost touching.

His breath smelled of pig tail.

Qin Yanan made roasted pig tails with some uniquely fragrant seasonings.

"Before you came to my room, you even stole a serving of pig's tail from the guest room and ate it?" Qin Yanan sneered.

"Why do you say that?" Ma Weiming asked somewhat awkwardly.

Liu Chang'an!

Liu Chang'an already knew why he'd been exposed. Even the best-laid plans can have flaws; how could he forget to brush his teeth after eating pig's tail?

Liu Chang'an stopped being stubborn and nodded.

"You get your face back!" Qin Yanan didn't even care about the ripped buttons on her chest. Under the orange light, her skin was as smooth as jade. Qin Yanan was trembling with anger and pointed to the bedroom door.

She had absolutely no liking for Ma Weiming's face, let alone any familiarity with it. She only had a general impression of him. If she hadn't been so close just now, with her eyes focused on his eye sockets and smelling the spices he had eaten from pig tail, she would never have guessed that he was Liu Chang'an in disguise!

These past few days, she had already seen many photos of Liu Chang'an, especially close-up photos of his eye sockets, which left a deep impression on her. Staring at his eyes so closely made Qin Yanan very puzzled. She was about to compare them with her memory of whether Ma Weiming also had similar eye features to Liu Chang'an, but she couldn't find a way to compare them... Where did she get such a strong impression of Ma Weiming's eyes? At this moment, she just happened to smell the spices from the pig tail he had eaten!

Like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, Qin Yanan hadn't expected that her plan to test Liu Chang'a Liu Chang'an was also based on something else... But was his action just now a joke, or was he trying to uncover some secret of hers?

Qin Yanan is now certain that Liu Chang'an can indeed change his appearance; he can not only transform into Ye Chenyu, but also into anyone else!

So the question is, was he originally Ye Chenyu, or did he simply have Ye Chenyu's face replaced to make it easier for him to do things that were inconvenient for him?

This issue needs to be clearly discussed with him tonight. After such a falling out, shouldn't we confront each other? Qin Yanan followed behind Liu Chang'an.

Liu Chang'an went into his room, leaving Qin Yanan outside. "Wait for me... it'll take a little time. Also, your button is off; change your clothes. It's the middle of the night, a man and a woman alone together. Even though I'm your elder, you should still be mindful of appearances."

"You..." Qin Yanan was so angry that her whole body was bulging up, like an angry pufferfish. When she heard him say that, she subconsciously wanted to retort, but when she looked down, she quickly raised her hand to cover herself.

This is an increasingly open world where women can freely expose their bodies, but for many girls who are very concerned about their shame and modesty, the current situation is still quite embarrassing.

Qin Yanan turned around, went back to her room, changed into an autumn-style pajama, and then came out again.

Upon entering the living room, Qin Yanan finally saw that familiar face. The familiar Liu Chang'an came out of his room, having changed into the pajamas she had prepared for him.

In the middle of the night, the two sat facing each other in the living room. Liu Chang'an sat cross-legged on the sofa, while Qin Yanan sat upright, staring at him expressionlessly.

"Ahem..." Liu Chang'an cleared his throat, as if to say, "Let's lay our cards on the table."

The chapter titles were in the wrong order, but the content was in the correct order and has been corrected. Today's update was supposed to be a six-in-one, which was quite unexpected for Xia Hua. She originally thought it would be a four-in-one at most... Today, she will update two two-in-one updates and tomorrow she will update a three-in-one update to make up for it.
