Chapter 24: The Wicked Guest Arrives

  The old-fashioned wooden double-door, after decades of wind and rain, can still be used, but it can't withstand such intense pounding. It's like an elderly person who is trembling all over, making creaking sounds, as if it might collapse at any moment.

  Qin Lang furrowed his brow and didn't even ask who was knocking on the door, but just this attitude of an unwelcome guest at the door made him very displeased with the visitor.

  He scowled and was about to go open the door.

  Just as he was about to take a step, his arm was pulled back. He turned around to see Mei Yuxian shaking her head in alarm, "No, no, you can't open the door."

  "What's wrong?" Qin Lang asked strangely.

  Mei Yu loosened her grip and said hesitantly: "I... I'm in here, if you open the door now, people will misunderstand."

  Misunderstanding?

  Qin Lang was taken aback.

  When he saw Mei Yu Yan's guilty expression, as if she had been caught in the act, he finally came to his senses. He couldn't help but feel amused, what was this woman thinking?

  He said with a bad tone, "Teacher Mei, I think you're thinking too much. On a sunny day, we stand in the courtyard with our clothes and hats properly on, who would suspect that you, Teacher Mei, slept with me, your student?"

  As soon as she heard this, Mei Yu Yan's ears turned bright red.

  Especially the four words "slept for a night" made her recall the embarrassing scene when she just woke up. Although private checks found that her body had not been touched, but sleeping with a student and still half-exposed, even if nothing happened, it was enough to make her ashamed to lift her head.

  "Bang bang bang...... boom boom boom......"

  The sound of the door slamming was still stimulating Qin Lang's eardrum, Qin Lang didn't bother to pay attention to Mei Yuxian's self-inflicted heartache and walked towards the gate in big strides.

  Mei Yu Yan saw this, hesitated for a moment on the spot, as if she had understood something, and after taking a few deep breaths, followed suit.

  Qin Lang had just walked to the door when he heard a muttering voice on the other side of the door: "Damn it, why hasn't the door opened yet?"

  He snorted and opened the door with a gloomy face.

  Outside the door stood a boy wearing sportswear and short hair. He looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, red lips and white teeth.

  The young man stood with one hand on the door frame, the other making a slapping gesture, muttering to himself, his expression extremely impatient. His eyes darted restlessly back and forth in the alleyway, and whenever a woman passed by, his gaze would inevitably fall on her sensitive areas, revealing an obscene glint that belied his age.

  Look closely at the person, and Qin Lang's heart involuntarily produced a sense of disgust. Because he had already recognized that this was his half-brother, Qin Sheng.

  In Qin Da's memory, there were many memories about his younger brother and stepmother, but almost all of them pointed to the various humiliations that this mother-son pair had inflicted on Qin Da since he was a child. Otherwise, Qin Da would not have moved alone into the old house.

  Qin Da Shuai had never treated the mother and son as his own, but instead had extreme hatred for them. This also had an unreserved impact on Qin Lang now.

  Inheriting Qin Da Shuai's body and even his emotions, Qin Lang also had no good feelings towards this sudden arrival of a younger brother.

  "Ah, big fool, you finally opened the door. If you hadn't, I would have torn this broken door down." Qin Sheng said with a face full of impatience as soon as the door was open, his words showing that he didn't regard Qin Lang as an older brother at all.

  "Who are you looking for?" Qin Lang asked with an expressionless face.

  Qin Lang glared at him with a fierce expression, blocking the door with an unfamiliar look. Qin Sheng couldn't help but laugh and said with a smirk: "Big fool, what are you doing? Has that kidnapper scared your brain even more rotten? You don't even recognize me? Move aside quickly, I rushed over early in the morning to see you, and look at your attitude."

  As he spoke, he wanted to reach out and push Qin Lang away.

  But his hand stretched out halfway, his eyes suddenly fixed on Qin Lang's side.

  At this time, Mei Yu Yan had already walked over.

  "Qin Lang, today's home visit ends here. I hope that in the days to come, you will work hard and improve your grades. Don't disappoint your teacher's expectations." In an instant, Mei Yuxuan was like a different person, whether it was guilt or shyness, she had perfectly concealed them, her entire face only showing a stern seriousness.

  Home visit?

  Qin Lang was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood Mei Yuxian's meaning. At this time, he didn't know whether to praise the woman's cleverness or scold her for being overly cautious.

  "The teacher left first." Mei Yu Yan nodded to herself and walked out the door.

  "Wait, Teacher Mei." Qin Lang suddenly had the urge to tease this woman. He called out to Mei Yu Yan while taking out a wallet from his body and handing it over to her, "This is your wallet. You accidentally put it in my pocket when you visited my home just now."

  Mei Yu's body trembled, and Qin Lang found an absurd reason to return her purse, almost as if telling others that her so-called "home visit" wasn't that simple.

  She took the wallet and walked away hastily.

  "What the hell, is this chick your teacher? That's just perfect, what's her name? What does she teach? What's her phone number? Tell me quick." Qin Sheng suddenly became excited.

  Qin Lang's eyes narrowed, and his pupils shone brightly, "What did you call me?"

  "What else can I call you!" Qin Sheng had never taken this brother seriously, just thinking of saying the two words "big fool", suddenly being pierced by the sharp light bursting out of Qin Lang's eyes, his heart shook inexplicably, and he involuntarily called out: "Brother!"

  Qin Lang let out a cold hum and turned around to walk into the courtyard, leaving behind a faint sentence: "Come in."

  "What's wrong with me?" Qin Sheng stood still, muttering to himself in confusion, unable to understand how he had just been scared stiff and even shouted "brother".

  To know from childhood to adulthood, except when his father was around, he called him "brother", at other times, he was always referred to as "Big Fool".

  But seeing Qin Lang's arrogant figure, he immediately became angry and thought to himself: "You dare to put on airs in front of me? I'll teach you a lesson."

  The moment he thought of this, he had the urge to turn around and leave. But lowering his head, seeing the bag in his hand, he changed his mind again, a sly smile spreading across his face as he muttered to himself: "Let me have some fun with you first, then it's not too late to leave."

  With this idea in mind, he suppressed his discontent and followed into the yard.

  ……

  Mei Yu Yan had already left Qin Lang's house and was walking hastily in the alley, her heart still racing. When Qin Lang handed her the wallet just now, she was so embarrassed that she almost found a seam in the ground to drill into. Until now, that shy feeling hadn't dissipated yet.

  She lowered her head and quickened her pace, with only one thought in mind: to leave this place as soon as possible.

  Who would have thought that she was walking with her head down, but suddenly bumped into someone.

  "Sorry!" Mei Yu Yan, who had bumped into someone, hadn't even seen who it was, hastily apologized.

  "Huh, Teacher Mei, is that you?"

  As a puzzled voice sounded, Mei Yuxuan finally raised her eyes, and the girl who entered her sight was an exceptionally beautiful young girl.

  She recognized at a glance that this girl was her student, Qi Linglong, who was pursued by all the boys in school.

  "Teacher Mei, what a coincidence! You live here?" Qi Lingling obviously didn't expect to run into Teacher Mei here either, and she smiled as she greeted her.

  "Yes, it's quite a coincidence. Oh, my home isn't here, just...just visiting a student's home." Mei Yu Yan replied with a guilty conscience, and then asked: "By the way, today is Saturday, shouldn't high school students be in school? Why didn't you go to class?"

  "Oh, I... uh... yeah, I... that is, I came to see a classmate who's having some trouble, so I took leave to visit him." Qi Linglong's face also suddenly turned guilty.

  Two timid women chatted for a few words and then went their separate ways.

  But as soon as they parted ways, Mei Yuxuan thought to herself: "She must be here to see Qin Lang, right?" As soon as she thought of this, for some reason, her heart suddenly felt a bit annoyed.

  On the other hand, Qi Linglong was also thinking in her heart: "The student who visited Teacher Mei's home, it shouldn't be Qin Lang, right? Oh, it shouldn't be, why would Teacher Mei bother with that Qin Lang."

  ……

  As soon as he entered the courtyard, Qin Sheng looked around and immediately showed a look of disdain, thinking to himself: "Foolish people are indeed foolish, leaving behind a good villa and insisting on running alone to this broken house. This kind of broken house, I, young master, can't even stay for one day."

  "What brings you here?" Qin Lang sat down on the stone bench and asked expressionlessly.

  "What else can happen? Isn't it just that you were messed with by that kidnapper, and Dad heard about it and called back home last night. Luckily today is Saturday, so I was sent to visit you. Poor me, I didn't even get to sleep in, and had to rush over here. You say, why do you always like to look for trouble?" Qin Sheng said with a bad attitude.

  "I don't need you to interfere with whether I'm looking for trouble or not. Since you're here to visit, now that you've visited, you can leave." Qin Lang bluntly told him to get lost.

  "My grass!"

  Qin Sheng was furious at this time.

  In his impression, this Qin Da Shuai had never spoken to him like that before. The previous Qin Da Shuai was silly and was played with in the palm of his hand, having been teased by him since childhood. The sudden change now made him feel a sense of imbalance, and his anger immediately rose up.

  Just as Qin Sheng was about to blow his top, a voice suddenly floated in from outside the courtyard: "Auntie, is this the place?"

  "That's right, it's here. Oh my, you're really pretty, aren't you the girlfriend of that young man in the house? He's a lucky guy." said a middle-aged woman's voice.

  "Don't talk nonsense, I'm just his...his classmate."

  "I know, I know, hehe, don't look at old lady's age, you young people's little things, old lady understands, it's this house, go quickly."

  In the courtyard, Qin Lang and Qin Sheng were both stunned for a moment, looking towards the main gate of the courtyard at the same time.

  The gate was not closed, and a beautiful figure walked over with a gentle swaying motion, stopping in front of the door.

  "Oh dear, sister-in-law."

  Qin Sheng reacted in no time, his eyes shining like a hungry wolf seeing food, and he walked three steps at a time to the gate of the courtyard.
