Chapter 193: Chapter 143: It’s Hard for an Older Man to Be Moved!

“Wow, that’s amazing!”

“I didn’t expect you, Old Shen, to be able to write novels!”

“I often read novels, but I usually read the ones targeted at women. One of my roommates used to write online novels, but her novels didn’t make much money…”

Liu Qingwu’s voice faintly came from the room. She probably raised her voice intentionally to create an atmosphere of shock and admiration.

If it were a normal conversation, the sound probably wouldn’t have come out.

In fact, this was indeed the case. Lin Xiamo stood at the door for about two minutes without hearing any other content, not knowing what the two were talking about in the room.

She hesitated slightly.

Lin Xiamo directly knocked on the door.

In the living room.

Shen Qiushan and Liu Qingwu were startled by the knock on the door, even though they hadn’t done anything inappropriate.

But it was already past 9 p.m., who would suddenly be knocking at the door?

“Old Shen, should I hide?”

Liu Qingwu teased with a slightly joking tone, pointing to the bedroom.

She said this partly in jest, but mainly to test Shen Qiushan’s attitude.

If Shen Qiushan appeared very nervous and really asked her to hide, it would indicate he was likely not single and was worried about being discovered with a woman in his room or a surprise visit.

“No need!”

“If you hide, it would actually make it seem like there’s a problem.”

Shen Qiushan waved his hand and walked to the door while asking, “Who is it?”

“It’s me.”

Lin Xiamo responded from outside the door.

“What’s up?”

Shen Qiushan opened the door and looked at Lin Xiamo with a questioning glance.

“I want to ask you for a favor.”

Smart as Lin Xiamo was, she had already thought of a reason, but then she seemed to suddenly notice Liu Qingwu and pretended to be surprised, saying: “Teacher Liu is here so late!”

“I came to ask Old Shen how to write online novels.”

“Secretary Lin, I’ll let you get on with your business, I’ll head back now!”

Liu Qingwu was quite understanding.

Although she didn’t know Lin Xiamo’s thoughts, it wasn’t appropriate for her to compete with the leader for Shen Qiushan’s “attention” in such a situation.

Besides, the leader had already hinted, saying “so late”!

At this hour, it indeed wasn’t suitable for her to stay in Shen Qiushan’s room.

After all, Liu Qingwu was just an intern, and it wasn’t certain if she could eventually stay at the school.

Currently, she and Shen Qiushan didn’t even have anything going on, so it was really unwise to offend Lin Xiamo, the powerful deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee, over this matter.

“Old Shen, let’s talk tomorrow then!”

As Liu Qingwu left, she waved at Shen Qiushan.

“What’s going on?”

After Liu Qingwu returned to her room, Shen Qiushan asked.

“Um, my shower in the bathroom isn’t working.”

This was the reason Lin Xiamo had thought of earlier.

“Oh!”

“Let me take a look.”

Shen Qiushan followed Lin Xiamo to her room.

Next door.

Once Liu Qingwu returned to her room, she didn’t move. She leaned against the door, listening to the conversation outside.

After hearing the door close, she changed into slippers and sat back down on the living room sofa.

That Secretary Lin wouldn’t be after Old Shen too, right?

They came back together.

I had just arrived at Shen Qiushan’s room, and she came over not long after.

Was it on purpose?

Liu Qingwu was still quite perceptive. She felt something was off with Lin Xiamo, but didn’t have any evidence.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Shen Qiushan unscrewed the showerhead and inspected it carefully.

“The inside is too clogged with rust. A cleaning should fix it.”

“However, in this case, it shouldn’t stop the water altogether, at most just reduce the flow a bit.”

While conscientiously cleaning the unscrewed showerhead, Shen Qiushan spoke.

Lin Xiamo stood at the bathroom door, silently watching Shen Qiushan, she wasn’t really concerned about the showerhead, given that it was made up.

“Why did Teacher Liu come to see you so late?”

Lin Xiamo suddenly asked.

“She saw the news online and wanted to discuss writing online novels with me.”

“Is that all?”

“What else would it be?”

Shen Qiushan shot back with a question.

“Don’t you think she’s too attentive to you?”

Lin Xiamo said, keeping her stunning face expressionless: “Liu Qingwu should be around 25 years old, not much older than Yanran and Xiaoxiao.”

“I think you’re not a good match!”

Lin Xiamo was decisive, directly expressing her attitude.

Although she couldn’t express her feelings at the moment, she still needed to discourage the “little elves” around Shen Qiushan.

Even if it’s only a hint, it should be nipped in the bud.

“Uh??”

Initially not thinking much of the topic, Shen Qiushan looked up, bewildered: “Momo, where’s your mind going?”

“I’ve only known Teacher Liu for two days!”

“How could that situation you describe occur!”

Actually, Shen Qiushan was just pretending not to understand.

When he interacted with Liu Qingwu yesterday, he hadn’t thought much of it, but today the beautiful counselor took the initiative to visit, and the topic was about the novel selling its film rights for millions.

And wearing a figure-hugging silk nightgown!

After living for 38 years, Shen Qiushan was quite sensitive to these matters. If a woman has no interest in him, she wouldn’t come into his room dressed like that late at night to chat with him.

And Shen Qiushan roughly guessed Liu Qingwu’s intentions, the beautiful counselor was probably eyeing his million!

But in front of Lin Xiamo, he had to pretend to be ignorant.

“Better off that way.”

“I was just giving you a heads up.”
