Chapter 105: gap

The two went to the second floor and looked out at the snowy scenery, neither of them speaking.

Zhang Bolang instinctively reached into his pocket, wanting to pull out a cigarette and light it.

But he had no cigarettes on him to provide him.

Even Wang Yong, seeing his action, subconsciously felt his own pocket.

He found that his pocket was also empty.

Both their actions were seen by the other, and the two couldn’t help but laugh.

Wang Yong was the first to speak.

“Brother Zhang, how many people do you think the other side will have carrying firearms this time?”

Zhang Bolang was also a bit unsure, but after thinking about it, it was completely impossible for the other side to possess firearms on a large scale.

He made a mental estimate and spoke with some uncertainty.

“Brother Wang, I estimate it won’t be more than a handful.”

“And we also confiscated a pistol and some bullets from them.”

“Counting it, the other side should only have one more gun than us, so we need to drag Lin Hu into this.”

Zhang Bolang’s answer was pretty much as he had expected.

“Alas, it’s a pity that Japan couldn’t smell anything else.”

“Tell me, where do you think it’s most suitable for us to ambush them?”

Just like that, the two discussed how to deal with the upcoming Japan.

Meanwhile, in room 1101, Zhou Kexin found Huang Qiushi, who was playing a game.

After saying something to Lan Ling, she directly pulled her out.

When she pulled her into the living room, Zhou Kexin turned to look at Huang Qiushi and asked,

“I’ve been having some insomnia these past few days. Do you still have any sleeping pills?”

Huang Qiushi, who had been suddenly pulled out, was still a bit dizzy. Hearing that she wanted sleeping pills, she thought carefully.

“I still have about half a bottle in my medicine box. I’ll get you a two-day supply.”

“See how it works, and remember to tell me if you feel any discomfort.”

Saying that, Huang Qiushi was about to go to her room to find her medicine box.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Kexin stopped her and pointed to Lan Ling’s room.

“Alright, I can go myself for such a small matter.”

“I just pulled you out suddenly, Lan Ling hasn’t finished her game yet, she’s waiting for you to go back and save the day.”

Huang Qiushi didn’t mind, as they were all very familiar with each other.

Before leaving, she instructed,

“Then you can take it as you see fit. This stuff is a maximum of two tablets at a time. If your insomnia isn’t too severe, you can try half a tablet first.”

At this moment, Zhou Kexin grabbed her with both hands, turned Huang Qiushi around, and gently pushed her towards Lan Ling’s room door.

“Alright, alright, I know.”

“I’m a grown person, not a three-year-old child, I can read instructions.”

Huang Qiushi also didn’t insist, just as the other person said.

She wasn’t a child anymore, a university professor, how could she not understand?

So she didn’t bother with so much and quickly returned to Lan Ling’s room to save the day.

At this moment, Lan Ling saw Huang Qiushi return, as if she had seen a savior.

“Wuwuwu!”

“Qiushi, you’re finally back! Quickly get out of the safe zone, I can’t hold on much longer.”

Soon, Huang Qiushi joined the battle, relieving Lan Ling’s pressure.

At this moment, Lan Ling casually asked,

“Why did Teacher Zhou ask you to go out just now?”

“She wouldn’t even come play games with us!”

Huang Qiushi was diligently controlling her game character.

Hearing Lan Ling ask about what just happened, she casually blurted it out.

It wasn’t some secret that couldn’t be revealed anyway.

“Oh, that’s nothing major, Kexin just told me that she’s been having some insomnia these past two days, so she asked me for some sleeping pills.”

“Coincidentally, I had some in my medicine box, so she went to get them.”

“Originally, I wanted her to try the calming tea I had prepared before.”

“But she insisted, so I let her.”

Lan Ling lost interest when she heard that Zhou Kexin had been having insomnia recently, as insomnia was a very normal thing.

Plus, for the past week or so, Huang Qiushi had been pulled over by her to watch dramas and play games all day.

She even slept here at night, so she thought there was no problem with the other person having insomnia alone.

But then she suddenly paused, and then reacted by asking Huang Qiushi again,

“Qiushi, did you just say that Teacher Zhou is having insomnia?”

Then she repeated the key phrase again.

“Teacher Zhou, insomnia?”

Huang Qiushi was still unconcerned at the moment, her hands rapidly moving on the controller.

“Yes!”

“She just told me that she’s been having some insomnia these past two days.”

“Why? Is there a problem?”

Helplessly, Lan Ling had to help Huang Qiushi recall.

“Think about it, yesterday we spent three hours to clear the big-headed doll in Black Myth, and then what did we do?”

“Recall the specific details carefully.”

Hearing Lan Ling’s serious tone, Huang Qiushi also put down the game in her hand.

Her right hand was on her chest, her left elbow on the back of her hand, and her bright red lips were biting the nail of her left thumb.

It was a while before Huang Qiushi began to recount what they had done last night.

“After we finished the big-headed doll yesterday, we were both a little hungry, so we went out of the room to the kitchen to find some late-night snacks.”

“It was around three in the morning, I guess, and we were like thieves, afraid of making any noise.”

“Then when we got to the kitchen, you insisted on drinking milk tea in the middle of the night, and the instant kind wouldn’t do.”

“You took out the raw ingredients and made me boil it for you.”

“Later, it seemed to be quite late. We finished boiling the milk tea, opened three self-heating hot pots, ate them, continued playing in the room for a while, and then rested.”

After Huang Qiushi finished speaking, Lan Ling asked her,

“Think carefully, why did the two of us eat three self-heating hot pots?”

“The quantity could have been two, or it could have been four, why was it precisely three?”

Hearing Lan Ling say that, Huang Qiushi indeed seemed to recall something.

As the memory was awakened, she also blurted out,

“After the milk tea was boiled, we found that we had boiled too much, and then you suggested calling Kexin out to eat with us.”

“To prevent her from thinking that the two of us were eating good food without calling her.”

“Then we prepared food for three people and went to the guest bedroom to call Kexin out for a late-night snack.”

“She seemed to be sleeping very soundly, she mumbled a response to us, and then continued to sleep.”

At this point, Huang Qiushi’s eyes also widened.

“Ah, this…”

She clearly realized the problem.

What would a person who doesn’t have insomnia do if they asked her for sleeping pills?

Suddenly, a very bad thought popped into Huang Qiushi’s mind.

Huang Qiushi immediately prepared to run out of Lan Ling’s room to find Zhou Kexin.

But Lan Ling stopped her.

“You don’t need to worry, she doesn’t seem like the type to commit suicide, at least looking at her state these past two days, she completely has no such thoughts.”

“Instead, I think the dangerous ones are the two of us.”

Then Lan Ling expressed her opinion.

“Don’t spread this matter, let’s see if she has any abnormal behavior in the next two days before we talk.”
