Chapter 620 - 620: Forgot Something

The little girl delivered a performance that could be described as textbook-level, leaving everyone in the room utterly astonished.

Before this, no one thought the little girl possessed any acting talent.

After finishing the demonstration, the little girl waved to Zhen Jinghan, "Jinghan, could you replicate the moves I just made?"

"But I'm wearing a bathrobe," Zhen Jinghan said, looking troubled.

The little girl replied helplessly, "This is just a rehearsal for now, Jinghan. Just get the moves right; you don't actually need to lift the bathrobe. Save that for when you see Old Zhao."

Zhen Jinghan gritted her teeth and nodded resolutely, "Alright then."

In fact, it wasn't that she was so easily persuaded by the little girl.

It was that, after careful consideration, Zhen Jinghan found some truth in what the little girl said.

Zhao Guo'an was like a cold rock that she had finally managed to warm up in her embrace. If she didn't take advantage of this warm momentum to make a move, she'd have to start over once it cooled again.

So, she had to give it her all!

For the next while, the group watched as the little girl, like a director, began pointing out Zhen Jinghan's flaws as an "actress"...

"No, no, no!"

"Your eyes need to convey the right feeling: a third laziness, a third shyness, a third daze, plus an essential ounce of hidden primal desire. That last part is crucial!"

"The movements, they need to coordinate with the eyes."

"Oh, don't be so bashful. The final lift of the bathrobe needs more flair; otherwise, how can you win over Old Zhao?"

After half an hour of this constant nagging, the little girl wiped the sweat from her forehead and clenched her little fists, saying, "Jinghan, do your best; this is a do-or-die moment!"

"Shihan, thank you for your hard work!" Zhen Jinghan expressed her gratitude.

Lin Jiaxuan, Lin Zhiyan, and Lu Yao exchanged glances, all feeling as though Zhen Jinghan was selling herself and even counting money on behalf.

...

At this moment, Zhao Guo'an was lying in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Several times, he couldn't resist reaching for the Calming Soup on the bedside table, only to pull his hand back time and again.

"Ahhh!"

Internally, Zhao Guo'an was shouting wildly, slapping his forehead, wishing he could find a brick to hit himself.

But just then, a knock sounded at the door.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Zhao Guo'an didn't get out of bed to answer the door. The first thought in his mind was: Great, now I'm hallucinating sounds.

Then, as he was thinking this, another three knocks sounded, along with a familiar voice that came with it: "Are you... asleep?"

"I'm not!" Zhao Guo'an sat up immediately.

The voice was Zhen Jinghan's; he recognized it, but it seemed to be shaking slightly.

However, after opening the door, Zhao Guo'an immediately understood why Zhen Jinghan's voice was trembling.

During the deep winter and late at night, just wearing a bathrobe in the courtyard would make anyone tremble like that.

"Is there something you need?" Zhao Guo'an asked.

Zhen Jinghan remained silent, resting her hand on the doorframe, her eyes like a pool of spring water, lightly rippling with waves.

Zhao Guo'an inexplicably felt a bit panicked, avoiding her gaze.

Until a slender finger appeared under his chin, forcing their eyes to meet.

Zhen Jinghan quietly said, "Looking at your eyes, I confirm... you are the one."

This line wasn't taught by the little girl; it was ad-libbed.

"Gulp!"

Zhao Guo'an swallowed, feeling parched.

Although he usually boasted, he truly had never encountered such a situation before.

In the past, some rich folks had wanted to invite him to indulge, but Zhao Guo'an refused all of them. Over time, rumors even surfaced that he wasn't physically capable or simply didn't like women.

A moment later, Zhao Guo'an's breathing became heavy, and he started to feel hot all over.

And just at that moment, Zhen Jinghan suddenly closed her eyes, grabbed her bathrobe with both hands, and flung it open.

Zhao Guo'an was stunned!

Though she wasn't entirely exposed, the hinting allure of the half-concealed view evoked an endless imagination more easily.

Under such a visual impact, Zhao Guo'an could no longer hold back, pulling Zhen Jinghan inside with one hand and shutting the door with the other.

"Bang!"

The two kissed passionately, like they wanted to become one.

However, just as things reached their peak, Zhao Guo'an suddenly widened his eyes.

"Ugh..."

Zhen Jinghan felt a force pushing her away, causing her to crash into the door.

She was a little angry, a bit confused, and looked at Zhao Guo'an, only to see him bending over, fingers in his mouth as if trying to fetch something.

This behavior resembled that of a drunken man on the street, trying to gag himself.

Covering her mouth and releasing a breath, Zhen Jinghan frowned. There was no strange smell, so why was he reacting this way?

Just as she was wondering, she saw Zhao Guo'an pull out a thumbnail-sized transparent plastic package from his mouth, brown in color.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."

After a series of violent coughs, Zhao Guo'an quickly wiped the plastic package on himself and then observed it carefully under the light.

"Phew... Thank goodness, it didn't break, didn't..."

His words abruptly stopped because a drop of brown liquid had seeped out from the outside of the plastic package.

"What's wrong with you?"

Zhen Jinghan finally sensed something amiss; she realized there was definitely a problem with the brown plastic package in Zhao Guo'an's mouth.

Yet Zhao Guo'an acted as if he hadn't heard her question, wandering around the room like a lost fly, muttering anxiously, "It's over, it's over, this time it's really over!"

"What do you mean by over?" Zhen Jinghan grabbed Zhao Guo'an's shoulders, stopping him from pacing.

"I..." Zhao Guo'an stared blankly, "I'm done for!"

After speaking, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed into Zhen Jinghan's arms.

...

"Xuanxuan, how long has it been?" The little girl sat on the bed, asking Lin Jiaxuan, who lay opposite her.

"About ten minutes," Lin Jiaxuan replied.

They were referring to the time since Zhen Jinghan had left.

"I seem to have forgotten to remind Jinghan of something. Hey, everyone, help me think. What did I forget?" the little girl mused, tilting her head.

Everyone was speechless. If you forgot something, could we really help you remember?

After thinking for a long time, the little girl still couldn't figure it out. She finally said, "Alright, alright, I bet it's done. Let's go to sleep, then.

Lu Yao, can you turn off the light?"

Lu Yao nodded and reached for the switch by her hand.

However, before she could press it, cries for help were heard.

"Someone, come quickly, come quickly!"

Lin Zhiyan sat up abruptly, threw on a coat, and called out, "Let's go over and see what's happening."

Everyone quickly got up, threw on coats, and walked out of the room.

They saw Zhao Guo'an's door open across the hall, and Xiao Feng squatting there, asking questions.

As they rushed to the doorway, they found Zhao Guo'an's face was dark, and he was foaming at the mouth, looking like he had been poisoned.

Seeing this, the little girl's eyes widened, and she slapped her forehead in frustration, "I finally remembered!"
