The next morning.
Qin Qi woke up and went to the bathroom.
Curious, he opened the washing machine and found that inside were the pantyhose and panties that had just changed yesterday.
Qin Qi picked up the pantyhose and panties to inspect them closely and indeed found some residual stains on them.
This made him lift the corners of his mouth.
His guess was right; Lin Jie indeed resorted to self-soothing last night when he didn't show up.
He put the items back in the washer and then went to school with Bai Ying'er.
Outside, Bai Ying'er maintained her aloof persona. The two of them hardly spoke on the way to school.
Upon arrival at school, Qin Qi was preoccupied with thoughts about Ning Wanyi.
Actions speak louder than words.
Since Ning Wanyi wasn't around yesterday, he paid her office another visit today.
Through the window, Qin Qi saw she was inside the office, and without saying a word, he pushed the door open and walked in.
