Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 1843 - 2044: I Want to Watch More!
Hao Jian had no idea that after she ran to the room and locked the door, Xiaohai immediately curled up on the bed, hugging her legs with her cheeks burning red. She instinctively touched her face, and although it wasn't scalding hot, it was definitely warmer than usual, exceeding her normal body temperature.
At this time, her heart was racing, beating fast, but she didn't know how to describe this feeling and mood. She just felt her chest, sensing that heartbeat, while the other hand touched her face, hoping to cool it down.
What she didn't know was that the more she thought about it and acted on it, the faster her heart would beat, and the higher the temperature of her flushed face would rise. In her mind, Hao Jian's name appeared constantly, full of resentment and hatred, and at this moment, she even wanted to kill Hao Jian.
Then she heard Hao Jian outside the door, knocking and asking her to come out. Her anger swelled even more. In this situation, how could a girl have the courage to stand in front of that boy without a buffer period to gather courage? So she simply pretended not to hear him.
But for Hao Jian, standing outside, even as he counted to one, there was no response from inside. A smile instantly appeared on his face.
After a pause, he knocked on the door again, but this time not as urgently as before, slowly knocking three times and pausing for three seconds. Then, with a smile on his face, he said a remark that was a killer move to provoke Liang Xiaohan.
"I'm going to count to three. If you're still not out when I'm done, I'll continue watching those photos on the TV. Don't think having the remote stops me from turning on the TV. My phone has an infrared remote function that can still turn on the TV and keep watching, so..."
After saying this, Hao Jian didn't give Liang Xiaohan any buffer time and directly started counting down from three to one. However, just as he got to two, the previously tightly closed door suddenly burst open. Liang Xiaohan stuck half her head out, her body wrapped in a quilt she had just grabbed, covering half her face looking at Hao Jian.
She then threatened, "You dare?"
Hao Jian laughed, knowing that once he said this, the girl would definitely come out, and sure enough, his tactic worked. Then he put one hand against the wall and the other on his head, smiling at Liang Xiaohan.
Liang Xiaohan, however, didn't give HJ a good look, and didn't meet his eyes directly.
"You dare? Just try and see what happens!" she threatened Hao Jian.
Hao Jian just smiled and didn't speak. Then he said, "I could, but there's no need. After all, I've seen enough, and there's no need to take that risk and see the other photos."
"A dog can't spit out ivory!" Liang Xiaohan retorted, then gave a glare at Hao Jian. If Hao Jian really dared to turn on the TV again to look at those photos, even though she knew she couldn't beat Hao Jian, she would risk half her life to fight him for a life-and-death battle, not you die or me live.
However, to be honest, she was actually a bit afraid of Hao Jian because now he had leverage over her. If Hao Jian threatened her with those photos, she'd have a weak foundation. But thinking carefully, actually, she and Hao Jian's relationship always seemed to be like this — she had leverage over him, and he had something he could use against her too.
Thinking about it carefully, it really was like this. In this way, they always had a relationship like this before, but they always coexisted peacefully. As the saying goes, the more leverage the other side has against you, the more afraid you are that this peace will break, leading to an unrecoverable outcome.
So, thinking about it carefully, she wasn't as afraid of Hao Jian anymore. Of course, if Hao Jian really went to look at those photos again, even if she had to fight him with half her life, she wouldn't let his evil plan succeed.
Hao Jian was amused by her seriousness. Normally, he didn't think much of it, but after seeing her photos, seeing her get serious made him want to laugh. Then, he couldn't help it and suddenly burst out laughing uncontrollably, even spitting a little.
Some of his saliva splattered on Liang Xiaohan's face, scaring him into taking a few steps back. Then upon seeing Liang Xiaohan's murderous eyes, he quickly jumped back a few steps, leaping onto the sofa, pretending like a fool as if nothing happened, with an innocent expression.
Liang Xiaohan wiped the face splattered with HJ's saliva in disgust, then looked at HJ in hatred, but she didn't get mad and slam the door. She was really afraid that this shameless Hao Jian would take advantage and sneak a peek at those photos on the TV while closing the door.
So she wrapped herself in the quilt and walked towards HJ with a killing intent. HJ thought she was coming to avenge, to humiliate him. But she overthought it, Liang Xiaohan's intention wasn't to target him, but she quickly unplugged the USB from the TV when he wasn't paying attention and ran back to the room. With a "bang," the door closed.
HJ was dumbfounded at her speed, amazed. In times of crisis, people can really burst out with several times their usual potential. Isn't this true with Liang Xiaohan?
As he stood there facing the tightly closed door, and replaying the sound of the door closing in his mind, Hao Jian stood there dumbfounded. In his heart, he marveled, Liang Xiaohan is indeed smart. At this moment, she still maintained rationality, knew he could use that against her, and when he didn't even know the photos were on the USB, took it away when he was unprepared.
Impressive! Hao Jian unconsciously exclaimed. Women, they're truly complicated, a woman's heart is like a needle in the sea, there's no mistake in this saying.
Actually, he felt a little guilty too, accidentally seeing such photos of a girl. However, now he felt no resentment, only finding it amusing and thrilling. Thinking back to Liang Xiaohan's expressions made him excited.
But he also knew that if he disturbed Liang Xiaohan now, it would only be asking for trouble, getting white-eyed glare would be good, he might even get kicked out. If this had been before, getting kicked out was no big deal, but if it happened now, wouldn't he be missing out on lots of fun?
Thinking about this, Hao Jian did not go to knock on the door again but lay down on the sofa. Just as yesterday, he hadn't completely rested; since that's the case, he might as well take another nap. After sleeping, Liang Xiaohan might come out, as she hadn't had breakfast and there was nothing to eat in the room. It was unlikely she wouldn't come out.
When she does come out, he'll make up for it, offer her a good meal. After all, one tends to be short when eating others' food. With time, he believed her hatred and temper would lessen a lot. Thinking this, Hao Jian lay down and slowly closed his eyes.
Time passed quickly. When he opened his eyes again, it was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon. Although he was in a sleeping state, his past experience in the dark world gave him a skill, so that even when he slept, he was very sensitive to any subtle movements or sounds occurring around him. However, during the few hours he slept, he didn't notice the door open even a little, meaning Liang Xiaohan hadn't come out at all.
This left him puzzled; she really was patient. Skipping breakfast and now it's four or five in the afternoon, a whole day without food or water, and she could bear it. Is she preparing to become an immortal?
Knowing that calling her out was impossible, a smile appeared on his face, thinking of a plan. If calling doesn't work, then try with food temptation.
Thinking of this, he got up and went to the kitchen. Although the house didn't have many ingredients and even those available were small in quantity, who was he? He had learned cooking from many well-known chefs, so even with scarce ingredients, he could still make them shine, creating something unique.
With these thoughts, he got to work as soon as he entered the kitchen. About twenty minutes later, a fragrant pasta dish was ready. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
After plating and setting the table, he put one on the dining table, and after turning off the stove, grabbed the other plate and went to Liang Xiaohan's room door. With a small blower, he directed the aroma of the pasta into the room.
Even though the room was sealed, it wasn't airtight, so the aroma of the pasta wafted through the cracks into the room.
Since he was trying to tempt Liang Xiaohan, Hao Jian deliberately added some aromatic seasonings, making this pasta much more fragrant than usual.
Actually, Liang Xiaohan was not sleeping; she was just lying on the bed, wanting to get something to eat but afraid that HJ was watching, feeling awkward if she saw him.
Thus, she had almost forgotten about this, lying on the bed like a salted fish, but suddenly she smelled a fragrance. Following the aroma, she found it came from outside the door.
Instantly, her eyes lit up.
