HBWMA -Chapter 188 The Bathroom Has Poor Signal

On the first day of school, there were usually no real classes. In the quiet afternoon, just as the first break bell rang, Fu Sui’er immediately pulled out her delicate afternoon tea lunch from her backpack.

Fruit, pastries, black tea, plus a copy of World Economy and Imperialism.

Fu Sui’er speared a grape with a small silver fork. Just as she opened her book, a shadow fell over her head.

She frowned in mild displeasure, about to scold the person—then saw it was Shen Qingyu and instantly switched to an enthusiastic smile.

“Brother Qingyu! Why are you here?”

Shen Qingyu glanced at the empty seat beside her and tapped it lightly with his slender fingers.

“Where’s Jiang Huashan?”

The boy in front of her had matured far more than three years ago. His slightly upturned phoenix eyes gave him a lazy, carefree look—one that somehow made people feel he could be a heartbreaker at any time.

Fu Sui’er knew he wouldn’t actually “break hearts” with her, but she still felt pressured.

Among the three brothers, Shen Lanxi was strict but only verbally so. Shen Guiling didn’t even speak harshly. But Shen Qingyu—he not only had a sharp tongue, he also loved lecturing people.

“Shanshan?” Fu Sui’er quickly adjusted and stood up, looking around. “Strange, she was just here… maybe she went to the bathroom.”

“The bathroom?” Shen Qingyu crossed his arms, his tone cold. “What a coincidence.”

Pretending not to hear the sarcasm, Fu Sui’er bit into her grape.

“Yeah, pretty coincidental.”

“Brother Qingyu, are you looking for her for something? Tell me and I’ll pass it on when she comes back.”

Shen Qingyu said, “She said she was short on money, right? I’m here to give her some. Go to the girls’ bathroom and tell her—five minutes. If she doesn’t come out, she doesn’t get the money.”

Instant jackpot.

Fu Sui’er’s eyes rolled slightly. “Brother Qingyu, girls take a long time in the bathroom. You can’t rush them. How about you transfer it to me? I’ll give it to Shanshan. Don’t worry, I won’t embezzle it.”

Shen Qingyu smirked. “She used to come running whenever she heard there was money. What’s wrong today? Not in school? Sneaked out?”

Fu Sui’er’s expression changed slightly, then she forced a smile.

“No… she is here. In the bathroom.”

Shen Qingyu was unmoved. “Doing what outside?”

“In the bathroom.”

“When did she start dating?”

“In the bathroom dating—” She froze. “Wait! Who’s dating?! She’s in the bathroom!”

Shen Qingyu nodded. “You’re pretty loyal.”

Then he turned and walked out of the classroom.

“Phew! That scared me to death.”

Fu Sui’er exhaled and quickly took out her phone to call Jiang Huashan.

“Hello! Shanshan, bad news, Brother Qingyu found out you—”

Halfway through, she suddenly felt a deadly gaze.

She looked up.

Shen Qingyu was standing right there, staring at her.

“….”

A feint? A return strike?!

Fu Sui’er swallowed the rest of her sentence and, under his knife-like stare, changed it on the spot.

“Ah! What? You didn’t bring toilet paper? No wonder you’re taking so long. Okay okay, I’ll bring it right now!”

She hung up with a calm face, grabbed a pack of tissues, and as she passed Shen Qingyu, seriously explained: “I’m delivering tissue.”

Then she bolted.

Shen Qingyu reached out, grabbed the back of her collar, and took her phone in one motion.

“Jiang Huashan. Now. Immediately. Come back.”

beep—

The call ended.

Hearing the busy tone, Shen Qingyu’s eyes narrowed, gaze deepening.

She dared hang up on him?

Fu Sui’er shrank her neck and still tried to defend her friend: “Brother Qingyu, you probably don’t know… our school’s girls’ bathroom has always had bad signal.”

“Heh.”

Shen Qingyu let out a cold laugh and released her.

“Your courage is getting bigger every year. Fine. Just wait.”

Whale Harmony Hospital

After coming out of the sample room, Su Miao had been extremely uneasy.

She must have gone crazy to actually come here for some nonsense paternity test just because of a madwoman’s words.

Jiang Huashan had just ended a call and turned to her.

“What’s with that long face? Results out already? That woman really your mom?”

Su Miao’s wavering thoughts were instantly replaced by anger.

“Do you have any common sense? How could the report come out that fast? It takes five to seven working days!”

Jiang Huashan glanced at her. “I’ve never done one, how would I know? Can’t you ask them to rush it?”

Su Miao suddenly felt guilty. “I didn’t use my real name.”

Since she came secretly, she couldn’t use the Su family name.

Jiang Huashan frowned. “If you didn’t even register properly, why would they do it?”

Su Miao gave a rare smile. “Because I used your name.”

“……”

Seeing her silence, Su Miao quickly added, “It’s fake anyway. What’s wrong with borrowing your name?”

Jiang Huashan stared at her without a word.

Su Miao forced herself to continue, “I won’t use it for free. I’ll pay you.”

Jiang Huashan frowned. “Then remember that. Also, you even made me pay the testing fee. Don’t forget to return that too.”

Su Miao gritted her teeth. “Fine! I’ll pay you back.”

“Alright then.” Jiang Huashan shrugged. “Let’s go back?”

As they walked out of the building, Su Miao kept glancing back at the white hospital building, feeling increasingly uneasy.

Jiang Huashan noticed and mocked her deliberately.

“What, scared now? Too late~”

Su Miao instantly snapped back into fighting mode.

“Who’s scared! Don’t forget, you loudmouth with the megaphone! I’m warning you—before the results come out, you’re not allowed to say anything. Come with me next week to get the results. I’ll make you accept it properly.”

Everything was going exactly according to Jiang Huashan’s control, so she pretended reluctance.

“I’m busy. Why would I care whether you’re really from the Su family or not?”

Su Miao immediately got stubborn. “No! You must come. You have to be my witness.”

Jiang Huashan waved her hand. “We’ll see—”

She suddenly stopped.

Her gaze froze, locking onto a figure in the distance.

“What is it?” Su Miao followed her line of sight.

“Isn’t that Shen Mianzhi? Why is she also at the hospital?”

The teasing look on Jiang Huashan’s face faded slightly.

Yes… why was she here?

Even more coincidentally, Shen Mianzhi had entered the same building they had just come out of.

The same building she had only ever been to in her previous life.
