How to defend herself from him? That’s the big problem!
Ye Jian glanced around the bedroom and finally locked her gaze to the two bedside tables. Picking locks was a trivial matter for Captain Xia; he could easily unlock the door.
She had no way to prevent him from picking the door,…so she would prevent him from pushing the door open immediately after unlocking the door!
Picking up a bedside table, Ye Jian placed it directly behind the door and held it against the door. After confirming that the bedside table was firmly against the door, she clapped her hands with satisfaction.
This way, even if Xia Jinyuan unlocked the door, it would be difficult for him to push the door open at once.
After confirming that she could react in time if there were any situation, Ye Jian went into the bedroom bathroom to dry her hair.
Xia Jinyuan, who was also doing things, really didn’t expect Ye Jian to figure out a way to stop him from sneaking into the bedroom. He stuffed the towel into the water pipe and then tightened the pipe connection again. Xia Jinyuan, who was covered in shampoo foam, opened the water pipe cage. Good, no water could flow out.
He didn’t want to do something like “lock picking”, that would destroy his image. He just blocked a water inlet pipe during his shower and knocked on the bedroom door with a towel around his lower body.
“Are you asleep? There’s something wrong with the bathroom outside. Halfway through my shower, there was no water. Can you check if there is any water in your bathroom?” Compared to the act of picking the door’s lock and sneaking into the bedroom, knocking on the door was much more dignified.
One would really have to be a little more advanced in thinking to think of using such means. This way, no one would guess that he had actually done it on purpose.
In particular, he needed to outwit an extremely clever fox. She could see through any small tricks at a glance, and she didn’t have to think about it. If she saw through his tricks, he would lose his image and be despised by her.
To maintain his image, Major Xia felt that it was necessary to think through his “plan” thoroughly.
High-level tricks were not mere tricks, just like how he used the towel to block the water pipe. Although it was a small matter, and it wasn’t very technical, it still required a certain “strategy” to succeed!
What did it mean when people say a rascal with several little tricks would not get anywhere in the end? It meant that you couldn’t trick a smart person twice.
Those who achieved big things also needed to use specific means to achieve their achievements. Their means were high-level and very technical; their moves would surely make the world move. In this case, this was not called moves/means but “strategies.”
When Xia Jinyuan was a child, he had done bad things and also lied to people. His grandfather looked him in the eyes and asked him if he would rather be a “little liar” or a “brilliant talent”.
He knew why the two had completely different reputations despite using the same methods.
From then on, he no longer bothered using his self-righteous little tricks.
Either he wouldn’t make a move, or he would only make a move if he knew the situation thoroughly, to even if others knew that he was the culprit, they wouldn’t have any evidence!
At that time, Commander-in-Chief Xia couldn’t figure out that he had understood the true meaning of “strategy” at such a young age, so he suffered numerous losses.
Fortunately, Grandpa Xia didn’t know that he had taught his grandson to use “strategy” to get what he wanted; otherwise, he would be so angry.
Now Major Xia, who was filled with many “strategies,” blocked the water pipes, knocked on the bedroom door calmly, and said, “Little Fox, I’m covered in shampoo, can you open the door and let me check the water pipe in your bathroom.”
There was no sound inside. Xia Jinyuan knocked again, still no movement.
She fell asleep?
Even if she fell asleep, he should wake up by the loud knocking sounds.
“Are you asleep? Or do you not want to open the door for me? Are you afraid that I will do something to you?” He knocked again, but there was still no movement inside.
