Chapter 2182 - 2383: All the Coincidences Happened Together!!!

To Hao Jian's surprise, standing outside the door were not one but two people, and those two were none other than Liang Xiaohan and Liang Yuwei. Seeing this scene, Hao Jian felt as if the sky above his head was about to collapse; he felt like the empire was doomed.

He initially thought it was troublesome enough that Zhang Danlin suddenly showed up, worried that if she was here and Liang Xiaohan and Liang Yuwei returned unexpectedly, their encounter would turn into an awkward situation. Unexpectedly, the thing he worried most about still happened, and it did so coincidentally.

Zhang Danlin had just gone upstairs, and then in the next moment, Liang Yuwei was already outside knocking on the door. Wasn't all this happening a bit too coincidentally? He was momentarily at a loss for what to do, feeling that he had no way to manage this matter. It seemed the only path before him was a dead end.

"Hey, the keys were clearly in the bag, so why can't I find them?" Hao Jian heard Liang Xiaohan complaining outside.

The only option left for him was to open the door immediately and let Liang Yuwei and Liang Xiaohan in; otherwise, within a minute they would encounter each other outside, and by then, a smokeless war might begin right at the door.

He had no choice, his actions almost instinctive in his mind, reaching out to open the door.

"I've been knocking for so long, why did you only open the door now? Didn't you just wake up from sleeping after hearing the doorbell?" Liang Xiaohan looked at Hao Jian and complained a bit.

Liang Yuwei, however, asked in confusion: "Why is there so much sweat on your forehead, are you sweating cold? Were you exercising just now?"

Upon hearing this, Hao Jian quickly wiped the sweat off his forehead with his hand, saying, "Well... sweating, maybe I just had a nightmare and got scared."

Liang Xiaohan glared at Hao Jian, probably mocking the humor of Hao Jian having a nightmare while sleeping during the day. However, she and Liang Yuwei immediately came inside, closing the door casually. Both of them were carrying things, as soon as they entered, they wanted to put down their belongings.

However, at this moment, "knock knock knock," the door echoed with knocks. Apart from Hao Jian, the two of them immediately showed puzzled expressions. It was just them at home, and since they weren't very familiar with any neighbors, strangers wouldn't usually come knocking. Who could it be at this time?

Liang Yuwei and Liang Xiaohan were putting things down, signaling Hao Jian with a look to open the door. Hao Jian now hesitated to go open the door. Hearing the knock made him tremble all over, making it difficult not only to open the door but even to walk to the door.

Yet both of them threw him a look indicating he should open it, leaving him no choice. Zhang Hao had to open it. Furthermore, if he let either of them open the door, the result would be unimaginable, so it was better for him to do it himself. Maybe things would take a turn for the better.

He hadn't expected Zhang Danlin to come up so quickly, right after Liang Yuwei and Liang Xiaohan entered, she knocked on the door. For a moment, he couldn't comprehend what had happened. He walked over and opened the door, immediately seeing a smiling Hao Jian standing outside.

She came over today not for anything significant, just to see Hao Jian, and used the excuse of discussing an outing for the class. Seeing Hao Jian open the door and catch sight of him instantly brought joy to her face, dimples shone with a sweet smile, genuinely happy.

"Hi, happy weekend." Zhang Danlin greeted Hao Jian voluntarily.

Hao Jian now felt he couldn't muster a smile, forcing a grin awkwardly. He was caught between a rock and a hard place, unsure of how to handle this situation.

Firstly, Zhang Danlin was unaware of his relationship with Liang Xiaohan, much less that Liang Xiaohan had always lived with him. If she knew, it would be earth-shattering. Furthermore, if she stepped inside, she would see the two women, Liang Xiaohan and Liang Yuwei, leaving no room for explanation.

However, the key point wasn't this; it was how Liang Xiaohan and Liang Yuwei would react to seeing Zhang Danlin. Liang Xiaohan frequently tried to talk to Liang Yuwei about Zhang Danlin, even suggesting reporting Hao Jian for something. If she saw Zhang Danlin suddenly here, wouldn't she drag Liang Yuwei to talk it out?

Although he and Zhang Danlin were just ordinary friends, if it passed through Liang Xiaohan's mouth with embellishments, what version would Liang Yuwei hear? So it was crucial not to let Liang Xiaohan see Zhang Danlin, or he might meet his doom.

But could he prevent Liang Xiaohan from seeing Zhang Danlin now that Zhang Danlin was standing outside the door?

Two paths lay before him, two outcomes, each seemingly leading him to Western Heaven. Both results seemed unfavorable, sending him directly to the afterlife's gateway. Feeling his legs trembling, his forehead sweating coldly, although Zhang Danlin greeted him, he found himself unable to respond or utter a word.

"Happy weekend." He squeezed out the words through clenched teeth.

"Who is it?" Liang Xiaohan, puzzled as Hao Jian stood silent at the door for a long time, asked.

Before Hao Jian could speak, he saw the puzzled and surprised expression on Zhang Danlin's face. Though she hadn't seen Liang Xiaohan personally, they had spent so much time in the same class, surely recognizing her voice. Upon hearing, she immediately identified it was Liang Xiaohan's voice.

She was bewildered; wasn't this Hao Jian's place? How come there was Liang Xiaohan's voice, and by the tone, she seemed like she owned this place; it puzzled her.

However, recalling last time's incident, where Liang Xiaohan sent her a photo of Hao Jian feeding her noodles, and bragged, she squinted her brows slightly, thinking over one possibility — could Liang Xiaohan and Hao Jian really be in a relationship, hiding it from others, and usually living together? The reason Hao Jian said it was inconvenient for her to come was because Liang Xiaohan was there?

Thinking this, she instantly felt her brain struggling to take in this shocking news, astonished.

However, the real surprise had yet to come, as she was just processing hearing Liang Xiaohan's voice, another female voice spoke:

"Hao Jian, who is it? Why do you keep standing outside? If it's a guest, let them in quickly." It was said by Liang Yuwei.

Hearing this, Hao Jian's heart tightened again, feeling suffocated. Zhang Danlin, at this moment, felt the same. Liang Xiaohan was inside, but this voice belonged to another woman entirely. Could there be more than just Liang Xiaohan inside, another woman? Did Hao Jian have two hidden charms residing here?

Additionally, this girl sounded closer when calling Hao Jian, as if they were intimate lovers. She was perplexed, increasingly feeling overwhelmed by the influx of information her brain couldn't process as she stared at Hao Jian with bewildered, wide eyes.

Both of them stared at each other, briefly forgetting to speak.

Meanwhile, Liang Xiaohan, puzzled by Hao Jian's silence and reluctance to act, walked over directly.

"What are you doing?" Liang Xiaohan said.

Then, she stepped forward to figure out what's happening with Hao Jian, and spotted Zhang Danlin standing outside the door. The two exchanged a confused glance, uncertain why the other was there. Liang Xiaohan was baffled by Zhang Danlin's presence, while Zhang Danlin was equally puzzled by Liang Xiaohan's, both filled with doubt.

"Hao Jian!" Liang Xiaohan called out his name abruptly, "You really can!"

At this point, Hao Jian was at a loss for words to describe how he felt, almost wishing for death. How could such coincidences occur? They seemed to collide into one big coincidence. Unable to express himself, he was merely filled with hopelessness, as if the whole world had instantly turned gray.

He suddenly grabbed Liang Xiaohan's hand, giving her a pleading look, hoping she would understand and spare him in front of her cousin. That was the only thing he could do now.

Receiving Hao Jian's plea, Liang Xiaohan, however, stood proudly, full of spirit.

She made funny faces at Hao Jian, intending to scare him. Want her help? It wouldn't be that simple!

"You all..." Zhang Danlin uttered in bewilderment.

Meanwhile, Liang Yuwei, busy organizing today's shopping finds in the house, noticed Hao Jian and Liang Xiaohan standing outside for a while doing who-knows-what, thereby walked over puzzled, wanting to see what's going on.

"What are you doing out here!" Liang Yuwei said.
