Bai Mengfei turned her head and saw that the person who came to help was a rather handsome man. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked gentle and refined, but his arms were very strong and powerful.

If such a figure were placed in a bustling city, he would definitely be considered a male god.

The man was incredibly strong; he not only firmly grasped Xiang Yuntian but also easily pulled him up.

After Xiang Yuntian came up, he looked down at the rushing torrent and was still filled with lingering fear.

If he had actually been swept away, his life would have been in grave danger; just thinking about it made him break out in a cold sweat.

Then he noticed the refined-looking man beside him and politely asked, "May I ask who you are? Thank you for your help earlier."

Upon hearing Xiang Yuntian's question, the man introduced himself: "I am a junior high school teacher in this town. My surname is Wang, and my given name is Haobin."

"Wang Haobin?"

Bai Mengfei murmured the name to herself, confirming that she had never heard of this person before.

As luck would have it, Wang Haobin had extremely sensitive hearing. As soon as he heard Bai Mengfei say his name, he immediately turned to look at her, smiled gently at her, and said, "That's right."

Seeing Wang Haobin's elegant demeanor, Bai Mengfei didn't think much of it and thanked him on Xiang Yuntian's behalf: "Thanks to your timely intervention, otherwise we would probably have fallen by now. Thank you so much."

"You're welcome," Wang Haobin said, then turned to Xiang Yuntian and asked, "Is this your sister?"

Hearing Wang Haobin ask this question, Xiang Yuntian was momentarily speechless.

After hesitating for a moment, to avoid any complications, he nodded and admitted that Bai Mengfei was his sister.

After their conversation, Wang Haobin was about to leave when he said to the two of them before he departed, "This area has been rather unsettled lately. If you don't have anything else to do, you should head back as soon as possible."

Bai Mengfei felt that Wang Haobin must have lived here for a long time and was very familiar with the local situation, so she suggested to him, "Excuse me, could you please take us to your place?"

Hearing this, Wang Haobin, who was about to leave, stopped, turned around in confusion, frowned slightly, stared at Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian, and asked in bewilderment, "Why? I was just about to go back to school."

Bai Mengfei quickly explained, "We just wanted to visit your school, if you don't mind."

Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Wang Haobin lowered his head and smiled slightly.

After thinking for a moment, he looked up at Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian and replied, "Since you have this idea, of course I won't mind. I'd be more than happy to welcome you."

Afterwards, he indeed brought Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian to the school.

Considering the time constraints, he also invited the two to have a meal at the school cafeteria.

Xiang Yuntian thanked him repeatedly, but he politely replied that it was no trouble at all.

During the meal, Wang Haobin finally asked the question that had been on his mind: "By the way, are you two here for tourism?"

Upon hearing this question, Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei were stunned. They exchanged a glance and then turned their heads away, as if unwilling to meet each other's eyes.

In reality, they all knew they didn't want to answer that question.

Letting too many people know the purpose of their visit could very well bring them to their deaths.

Wang Haobin was a smart man and immediately saw through their concerns, saying, "If it's inconvenient to talk about it, then forget it. Have you found a place to stay yet?"

Upon hearing Wang Haobin mention this matter, Bai Mengfei realized that she had completely forgotten about finding a house.

Actually, she really disliked staying in the police dormitory because it made it difficult for Xiang Yuntian to even get a good night's sleep.

So she immediately turned to Wang Haobin and said, "Not yet, Mr. Wang, do you have any good recommendations?"

Wang Haobin pondered for a moment, then turned to look outside the cafeteria.

Seeing this, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian also turned to look out the window.

Through the window, they saw a slightly old building.

At this point, Wang Haobin introduced, "That's an old building in our school. If you two don't mind, you can stay there for now."

Xiang Yuntian slowly turned his head and looked at the enthusiastic Wang Haobin, a sense of doubt rising in his heart.

Why is he so good to us and helps us so much?

As the saying goes, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others.

He was currently investigating a case, and his professional instincts told him to be cautious in everything he did, especially with Bai Mengfei by his side. If his disappointment led her into danger again, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Bai Mengfei hadn't thought about it that complicatedly; she was only concerned about Xiang Yuntian's sleep problem, so she readily accepted.

She smiled and said, "Then thank you so much, Teacher Wang."

Wang Haobin laughed and said, "It's okay, we're all brothers under the same sky, and you can rely on friends when you're away from home."

"Yes Yes."

Xiang Yuntian watched Bai Mengfei and Wang Haobin chatting happily, and felt inexplicably uneasy. At the same time, he became more and more suspicious of Wang Haobin.

After dinner, Wang Haobin led the two to their dormitory.

Despite the dilapidated exterior of the school dormitory, the interior is actually quite nice.

"This is the place. If you two have nothing else to do, please rest. A cleaning lady usually comes to clean the house. You can stay as long as you like, or stay until you want to leave."

Listening to Wang Haobin's introduction, Xiang Yuntian looked around the bed and noticed a detail.

The cleaning lady seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder; the blankets were folded neatly, as if she knew they would come.

However, Xiang Yuntian did not voice his thoughts, but turned to Wang Haobin and thanked him: "Thank you, Teacher Wang, you've really gone to a lot of trouble."

"It's alright, don't be so polite. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now." Wang Haobin said as he backed out, pointing to the side before leaving, "There's hot water in the kettle."

Bai Mengfei felt that it was truly rare to meet such a kind person as Wang Haobin in such a place, so she readily agreed, "Okay!"

After Wang Haobin left, Bai Mengfei felt extremely thirsty, so she went to her desk, picked up the kettle next to the desk leg, and prepared to pour herself a glass of water.

Xiang Yuntian quickly walked over and grabbed her wrist.

"What's wrong?" Bai Mengfei turned her head and looked at Xiang Yuntian, puzzled.

In fact, Xiang Yuntian himself couldn't explain why, but he was vaguely worried.

So he said nothing, only frowned slightly and shook his head at Bai Mengfei.

Bai Mengfei had finally begun to feel somewhat at home here, and being extremely thirsty, she gently shook off Xiang Yuntian's hand.

"Yun Tian, ​​aren't you overthinking things again? Are you being too sensitive?"
