It was too bright during the day to be convenient to carry out the operation, so Xie Zhaoyuan planned to act at night.
She climbed down from the ventilation window, moved the chair back to the dining table untouched, and then, taking the stolen pen, blacked out all the paper covered with distress signals.
Then she hid it inside her sweater.
At 11 p.m., the entire villa became quiet.
Qin Wushuang left after dinner and hasn't returned yet. Only twenty bodyguards and Aunt Bai, who is in charge of cooking, remain in the villa.
Xie Zhaoyuan timed it perfectly, tiptoed out of bed, and got up.
She didn't wear shoes and carried the chair back into the shower room barefoot.
Holding onto the wall, she stepped onto a chair and stealthily peeked her head out of the ventilation window.
The bodyguards below were yawning as they stood guard. She glanced at them briefly and noticed that there were only two bodyguards.
"Hmph..." She smiled with satisfaction, squatted down for a moment, took out all the papers from her sweater, and folded them one by one into paper airplanes.
After folding them, she stood up straight again and flew the paper airplanes out one by one.
It was late at night, and the bodyguards' vision was obscured by the darkness, making them far less alert than during the day. In addition, they had been on guard all day, and their bodies and minds were already exhausted. Xie Zhaoyuan had also painted all the paper airplanes black, so when the planes took off, they didn't notice anything unusual at all.
The ventilation window was high up, and the paper airplane flew down from above, easily flying over the fence and landing on the grass and tree branches outside the fence.
The lawn was wide and flat, perfect for a walk or walking the dog. If other people lived nearby, there was a chance that Xie Zhaoyuan's paper airplane would be seen by someone else.
"Please, please, someone come over here to walk their dog or child..."
While praying silently, Xie Zhaoyuan adjusted the angle and threw the paper airplane in different directions.
After throwing it away, she carefully pulled her head back in, held her breath, and moved the chair back to its original position.
"squeak--"
The downstairs door was suddenly pushed open, and then Qin Wushuang's voice rang out softly.
"Let them investigate. If they find even the slightest trace, I'll admit defeat..."
Xie Zhaoyuan quickly lay down on the bed, deftly covered herself with the blanket, and pretended to be asleep.
Ten minutes later, Qin Wushuang pushed open her door as expected.
He didn't speak or make any other unnecessary movements. He simply walked barefoot to Xie Zhaoyuan's bedside, then sat down in front of her and quietly watched her.
Her acting was poor; her feigned sleep was completely unconvincing, and Qin Wushuang saw through her at a glance. But instead of exposing her little trick, he quietly played along.
"Eh……"
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Wushuang suddenly let out a soft sigh.
"Xiao Song," he said, gently stroking Xie Zhaoyuan's eyebrows and eyes, his tone helpless, "why can't you be a little more obedient?"
"..."
Xie Zhaoyuan kept her eyes tightly closed and showed no reaction whatsoever.
Qin Wushuang added, "As long as you're obedient, I'm willing to give you everything you want."
"..." Xie Zhaoyuan didn't even twitch her eyelids, looking as if she was really asleep.
Qin Wushuang paused, then sighed: "I was just kidding. Even if you're naughty, I'll still give you everything you want."
“Except for Pei Xingzhi.”
"..." Xie Zhaoyuan's breathing was accompanied by a slight snoring sound.
Qin Wushuang stared at her for a few seconds, and seeing that she seemed to be really asleep, he quietly got up from the bedside and left her room without making a sound.
"Click——"
The sound of the door locking came clearly. Xie Zhaoyuan lightly lifted her eyelids, her eyes showing no signs of sleepiness.
She was perfectly lucid; she just didn't want to talk to Qin Wushuang.
As soon as Qin Wushuang left, she rolled over in her blanket, then stared blankly out the window, completely unaware that Qin Wushuang had left a black paper airplane at the foot of her bed.
……
"Woo..."
"call out……"
"Paper airplane, flying, flying..."
The next day, Xie Zhaoyuan was awakened by a commotion deliberately created by Qin Wushuang.
"……oops!"
Xie Zhaoyuan shouted impatiently, kicked off the covers, and sat up in bed.
"Qin Wushuang, you—"
Before the curses in her mind could even be uttered, Xie Zhaoyuan's face turned pale instantly.
She stared incredulously at the black paper airplane in Qin Wushou's hands, her eyes and expression visibly turning to terror.
"Xiao Song is awake?" Qin Wushuang gently pinched the paper airplane that had been deliberately blackened with her two slender fingers and looked at Xie Zhaoyuan with a smile.
Xie Zhaoyuan's body tensed for a few seconds before relaxing, and all her anxiety turned into indifference.
"..."
She glanced at Qin Wushuang with a cold expression, without replying to him with a single word.
He handed the paper airplane to Xie Zhaoyuan, paused for two seconds, and then flew it away.
"Xiao Song's paper airplanes are still folded so well, but the colors are too ugly, they don't look good."
"So?" Xie Zhaoyuan looked at him expressionlessly. "What are you trying to say?"
"..." Qin Wushuang paused slightly in her hand, which was playing with the paper airplane, and a slightly regretful smile appeared on her lips. "I want to say that this is a private villa. No outsider can enter without the permission of the villa owner."
"No one can come here to walk their dog. These paper airplanes can stay on the lawn until they rot and no outsider will ever notice them."
"Hmph..." Xie Zhaoyuan scoffed coldly and remained silent.
Qin Wushuang: "I told you, if Xiaosong is bored, he can go to my room to read and write. It's really not safe to stand on a chair so high to fly paper airplanes."
"Don't do it again."
Xie Zhaoyuan didn't answer, but frowned and asked, "How did you know I launched the paper airplane while standing on a chair?"
Qin Wushuang raised an eyebrow: "Is it that hard to guess?"
"..." Xie Zhaoyuan was speechless.
Qin Wushuang put down the paper airplane: "I've said it before, Xiao Song can come into my room anytime and take whatever she wants. Xiao Song doesn't need to sneak around at all."
Xie Zhaoyuan glared at him: "I like to sneak around, what's it to you?"
"It's none of my business," Qin Wushuang said shamelessly. "As long as it's Xiaosong's business, I can interfere."
"……roll!"
Xie Zhao didn't want to talk to him, so she pulled the blanket over her head and rolled back into bed.
Qin Wushuang patted her blanket and asked softly, "It's nine o'clock, Xiaosong, do you want to get up and have breakfast?"
Xie Zhaoyuan only replied with one word: "Get lost!"
“…Alright.” Qin Wushuang knew she was in a bad mood, so he didn’t want to bother her any further. He sat on the edge of the bed and watched her for a while, then got up and left the room.
Aunt Bai was waiting outside the door. As soon as she saw him come out, she asked with a pained expression, "Xiao Song, are you still not going to eat breakfast?"
Qin Wushuang gave a faint "hmm": "Let her sleep a little longer, just bring her a little extra food at noon."
“Yes,” Aunt Bai acknowledged his instruction first, then glanced at his face. Seeing that he wasn’t sullen, she mustered her courage and said:
"Xiao Song has a really bad temper. When she gets emotional, she says whatever comes to mind."
