Chapter 302: Chapter 302: Ambiguity in the Office"Ye Xuan, what would you like to drink? Plain water, or coffee?" Qin Lan sighed with relief internally and turned to ask Ye Xuan. "Just plain water! I’m not used to coffee." Ye Xuan shifted his gaze, saying it with a smile, without pointing out the awkwardness of the situation; otherwise, it would have definitely been unbearable to stay here. "Alright, I’ll pour you some water." Qin Lan agreed and took a stool from the side, stood on it, and reached for a disposable cup from the top of the bookcase. Today, Qin Lan wore a black skirt with a white shirt on top, looking very simple. Her hair was casually draped down, and she had black-framed glasses on her nose, appearing both intellectual and charming, much like a teacher. Disposable cups were infrequently used, stored at the top of the bookcase, and Qin Lan had to stand on her tiptoes to reach them. However, just when she was doing so, whether it was because the cups were placed too high, or because Qin Lan carelessly lost her balance on tiptoes, she suddenly lost her equilibrium and fell from the stool. "Aah..." Qin Lan let out a shriek, her face going pale with fright as she instinctively shut her eyes. Seeing this, Ye Xuan was quick to react, lunging forward to steady Qin Lan. Heroic rescues can happen anytime; when it’s time to act, you act! Well done. Ye Xuan silently praised himself. But at that moment, Qin Lan’s face suddenly turned pale, her eyebrows tightly knit in pain, as she clutched her abdomen, revealing an agonized expression. After seeing her like this, Ye Xuan was taken aback, then quickly focused his mind and asked with furrowed brows: "Did you not go for a check-up at the hospital? Is it appendicitis acting up again?" Qin Lan opened her eyes, her face pained and devoid of color, sweat dripping from her forehead as she said with a furrowed brow: "I... my medicine is in my bag on the table, could you get it for me?" Without a second word, Ye Xuan went to the table, took out a bottle of painkillers from the bag. He then poured a cup of water and handed it to Qin Lan along with the medicine. After swallowing the painkillers, Qin Lan’s eyebrows remained tightly furrowed, her face kept sweating, and her body even started to tremble slightly. It seemed like the pill had no effect at all! After waiting for a moment and seeing her in increasing pain, Ye Xuan hesitated no longer and firmly said, "Let me treat you instead, just like last time." "Okay, thank you," Qin Lan nodded faintly. With her consent, Ye Xuan didn’t dare hesitate. He helped her up and walked her over to the sofa to sit down. "I’m going to treat you, bear with the pain a bit." Ye Xuan scratched his head, instructed, and then started to treat Qin Lan’s abdominal pain. From Ye Xuan’s palm, strands of strange energy, invisible to the naked eye, weaved into Qin Lan’s body. This energy, like warm water, flowed everywhere in her blood vessels, as if she was bathing in warm water; her pores opened up, and the pain in her lower abdomen was greatly reduced. However, just then, a sudden sound startled them both. Knock knock! "Lanlan, are you there?" A knocking came from outside the door, followed by a voice as clear and melodious as a silver bell. "Ah... It’s Sister Muchuan back, what should we do?" Qin Lan stood from the sofa, her voice laced with anxiety. Now with Ye Xuan in her office, if they were seen, there would definitely be a misunderstanding. The other party was her best friend, and since Sister Muchuan wasn’t there, she had brought Ye Xuan to the office. Normally, the latter wouldn’t come back until after class hours, but unexpectedly, she had returned so soon today. Ye Xuan rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "You’re asking me what to do? How should I know?" "Ye Xuan, you... you hide quickly, don’t let yourself be discovered!" Qin Lan said urgently, her face filled with anxiety. Hearing this, Ye Xuan had a sullen expression, as if we were having an illicit affair, but he didn’t say much and started looking for a place to hide. Click! Just then, a soft sound came, and the door was pushed open. It seemed that the person outside had knocked on the door and received no response, so they pushed open the door and came in. In this urgent situation, Qin Lan didn’t hesitate and quickly stuffed Ye Xuan under the office desk. "Lanlan, I knocked on the door for so long; didn’t you hear me?" Accompanied by a crisp and pleasant voice, a woman in a white uniform walked in. This woman was beautiful; her face was exquisitely flawless, her skin was snowy white, as if carved from fine white jade, her eyes were charming pools reflecting the stars, brimming with liveliness—those large, watery eyes were exploring Qin Lan curiously. As she walked closer, she exuded an intelligent beauty characteristic of a woman. This woman, named Li Muchuan, was not only Qin Lan’s office best friend but also the vice president of East Sea University. Li Muchuan was very famous at East Sea University, known as the youngest and most beautiful female principal in East Sea City, and she was exceptionally beautiful. Just like Qin Lan, the two of them were known as the most beautiful teachers in history, and they were the goddesses in the hearts of many students and male teachers at East Sea University. Her beauty was in no way inferior to Qin Lan’s, perhaps even surpassing it! Unlike Qin Lan, Li Muchuan exuded a mature and elegant femininity that could captivate hearts even more. "Sister Muchuan, why did you come back?" Seeing Li Muchuan walking in, Qin Lan asked. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that Ye Xuan had hidden himself in time. Otherwise, if he was discovered, it would definitely cause a misunderstanding that she couldn’t explain away. "Oh, I remembered I hadn’t picked up today’s parcel, so I came back to get it." Li Muchuan frowned slightly, curiously glancing at Qin Lan. She sensed something was off. Qin Lan’s eyes were darting about, as if she dare not look directly at her. No, Qin Lan must be hiding something from her! Li Muchuan made her judgment, her gaze fixed on Qin Lan, "Lanlan, confess to me honestly. Did you do something guilty while I was away?" "Ah?" Qin Lan was startled, thinking, did Sister Muchuan discover something? She hurriedly shook her head and said, "No... Nothing! What guilty thing could I do? Don’t make wild guesses, I’ve just been a bit tired from work recently." "Really?" Li Muchuan was skeptical, scrutinizing Qin Lan with a doubtful look. She clearly didn’t believe her and walked towards her. "Sister Muchuan, aren’t you going to get the parcel? I put it in your desk drawer." Seeing Li Muchuan approaching her, Qin Lan quickly said. "Oh, I’ll get it later." Li Muchuan replied offhandedly, continuing to walk forward. Suddenly, Li Muchuan’s eyes widened and her mouth hung open. Her face was full of shock, as if she had discovered a new world.
