Will Li Jie be so upset that she cries in the bathroom by herself?

Based on Li Yan's understanding of her, he believed that this wouldn't happen, because she was a strong person, as demonstrated by the things she talked about during meals, much stronger than the average girl. Besides, compared to what happened by the pool, this was really nothing.

However... today's situation was a bit unique, first because she experienced a gunfight and death up close, and then she felt the huge danger of this mission, worrying for her father. Also, back then, they hadn't known each other for long, and their relationship wasn't deep, so maybe in her heart she didn't even consider him a friend, it would just be anger. But now their relationship is deeper, he had saved her, and at noon, she had poured her heart out to him as a friend she could talk to. This was different, wounds from friends always hurt more.

Li Yan carefully leaned his ear against the bathroom door to listen, but didn't hear any crying. He continued to listen carefully and quickly heard some noise. It's better to have some noise than none at all, but this noise was the sound of the door opening... Oh no!

He didn't have time to retreat, slowly turned his head and sure enough, saw that the door was partially open, revealing Li Jie's angry face: "You're not only up to no good, but also peeping and eavesdropping! You're such a pervert!"

"Well..." Being caught red-handed, Li Yan didn't know how to explain. Should he say: I was actually worried about you, that's why I was eavesdropping, and just because I was too concerned, I let my guard down and got caught by you. Who would believe that!

Li Jie wasn't the gentle type, much less someone who silently endures after being wronged. Facing Li Yan's constantly excessive actions, she swiftly threw a punch!

Li Yan caught her fist: "Don't hit the face! I was checking on you because you were so quiet, I was afraid you'd get flushed down the toilet…"

"You're the one getting flushed down the toilet!" Li Jie pulled her fist hard, but couldn't free it, quickly launching a knee towards Li Yan's abdomen.

At this moment, the bathroom door was fully open, and Li Yan could see clearly that she was still wearing pants on her lower body, but had taken off all her upper clothes, including her bra, which were placed in the laundry basket, and now she was wrapped only in a large bath towel!

He immediately understood, the reason Li Jie didn't come out of the bathroom was because her upper clothes were wet, and she only realized this after taking them off to dry, she couldn't just put the wet clothes back on and come out to get more clothes, right? But she was angry at Li Yan and didn't want to ask him to bring the bag over. Besides, being topless, even if she only opened the door a bit, it wouldn't feel right for him to see.

And it seemed like she had just thought of using the bath towel to cover herself, and was about to come out to get the bag and find clothes to change into, only to run into him.

In response to her knee attack, Li Yan immediately stepped back, let go of her hand, and retreated to the guest room. "Ok, ok! As long as you're alright, I was just worried about you."

Li Jie, who was stuck inside feeling depressed, got more and more angry the more she thought about it. She finally figured out a solution that didn't involve calling him, only to open the door to find him eavesdropping, which reignited her fury. If Li Yan allowed her to hit him once, she might have vented her anger and it would be over. But he caught her punch aimed at his face, and her knee attack was dodged by him. Unable to let it out, she felt increasingly stifled.

Of course, she didn't believe a word about his so-called concern, and shouted angrily, "You pervert, you rogue, you freak! See if I don't beat you up!" She then chased him out of the bathroom.

She knew very well that going head to head with Li Yan in close combat would mean playing to her weaknesses against his strengths. She had to keep her distance, use her agility, and attack with her legs to play to her advantages. So this time, she didn't charge in, but instead leapt onto the bed, then from a higher position aimed a flying kick at Li Yan's head!

Li Yan easily stepped back, then joked with a laugh, "Silly girl, with others, you might be able to humble a man. But with me, you're only going to get a beating! Better make peace, I'm not holding it against you..."

"Peace your head, brother your head!" Li Jie sneered, kicking at him again.

Li Yan dodged aside, then jumped onto the bed, maintaining a distance between them as they faced off.

"Unconvinced? Do you believe I can make you scream for mercy and run away crying with just one move?" Now both on the bed, Li Yan had the height advantage. Li Jie watched his eyes, heard his tone, and felt his demeanor, sensing he was looking down on her!

Though she knew her abilities still had a gap with Li Yan's, she had her own strengths too. If she played them right, she might not win, but she wouldn't be easily defeated either. How could she let him look down on her like this?

"Humph! If you succeed, I'll call you brother. If not, then you'll call me grandma from now on!" Li Jie sneered, changing her strategy, since the bed's elasticity aided her agility and speed, but the limited space and instability meant she couldn't be too reckless. After speaking, she bounced off the bed, a leg aimed at Li Yan's chest!

Li Yan casually blocked the attack with one hand. But Li Jie's kick was just a feint, meant only to draw Li Yan's attention!

After her leg was blocked and withdrawn, she quickly recoiled, but only into the air, without touching the bed, and then continued with a low sweeping kick toward Li Yan's shins! She was prepared for this, hoping to knock Li Yan onto the bed, which would give her more advantage.

But at this moment, she felt something was off, her body seemed to get a bit cooler... What's going on?

Li Yan made his move!

While blocking her kick, he had already made his so-called move! He swiftly extended his hand along her leg, grabbing one corner of the floating bath towel, and without needing to pull hard, Li Jie's sweeping kick had already caused the towel, caught by one corner, to unravel.

Originally, Li Jie dared to come out and fight Li Yan confidently because she only wore nothing on her upper body, and the length of the bath towel was enough to cover her waist, hips, and thighs. It was merely wrapped around her upper body, easily enough. She had pants on below, so she had no worries about being exposed at all. But she never expected that Li Yan, this guy who was stronger than her and could be called a master, would use such a sleazy, such a wretched trick!

Looking down, she found that her upper body was already bare, with the bath towel pulled into Li Yan's hands, her tender body entirely exposed in the air. Li Jie was stunned for a moment, then realized what happened. How could she still bother to see if she had knocked down Li Yan? She hurriedly covered her chest awkwardly and screamed as she ran to the bathroom!

"Hehe, not listening to the advice of the elder costs you dearly. Don't you know there are ways to handle things cleverly in this world? Is a fist always needed to make someone scream and run away? Two fingers are enough!" Li Yan laughed while holding the bath towel.

Jumping off the bed, he saw the bathroom door was already closed. He felt a bit nostalgic, perhaps not making her cry out of anger before, but this time it might really happen. Was it too much?

He turned around to get Li Jie's bag and the bath towel, hanging them on the bathroom doorknob.

He knocked on the door, and Li Jie's scolding immediately came from inside: "If you dare come in, I'll kill you!"

"I'm not going in, I just brought the bath towel and your bag over, hung it at the door, and I'm backing away. You open the door and take it in to change clothes! Don't worry, you've already called me brother, I won't do anything to you!"

After Li Yan finished speaking, he returned to the guest room and tidied up the messy bed.

...

Li Jie inside the bathroom did not cry out of anger, but felt even more frustrated; her annoyance with Li Yan reached its peak. Facing the mirror alone, she imagined Li Yan inside and silently cursed at him. But looking at her bare upper body in the mirror, she felt more embarrassed, last time he touched her, now he saw everything! A big loss!

She took another bath towel, wrapped herself tightly, and held it securely, not planning to fight with Li Yan anymore. After listening carefully and not hearing any sound at the door, she cautiously opened the door, saw her bag indeed outside, quickly took it in, and locked the door again.

A few minutes later, Li Jie, having changed and dressed neatly, came out and stood there looking at Li Yan, already with her backpack on.

"You're leaving?" Li Yan asked, lying on the bed, looking at her as if he wasn't surprised by her decision.

Li Jie tried her best to despise and ignore him, but realized that ignoring him made it hard to despise him, and to despise him made ignoring him impossible.

"Are you afraid of me?"

Li Jie snorted coldly, sarcastically retorting, "Living with a pervert, what is there to be afraid of? Kick him and explode him! But living with a freak, I'm disgusted!"

"Tsk tsk... who just said? If I make you scream and flee with one move, you'll call me brother. But now you're describing me like this, do you like calling a freak your brother? Or do you like your brother to be a freak?" Li Yan provocatively laughed.

"This doesn't count!" Li Jie grumbled in frustration. She indeed screamed and fled, but she didn't expect him to use such a move!

Li Yan suddenly put away his smile and said seriously, "My move just now, was it low? So it doesn't count? Let me ask, like the situation at noon, three guns aiming at unprepared people, was it fair? Was it low? Did you tell them it doesn't count? Even if they agreed with you, would pulling the trigger change the outcome?"

Li Jie was stunned, pondering over the meaning of his words.

"If you leave, unless you turn back home, you'll end up dead terribly! You now face not hooligans or thugs, but very professional... assassins. Even with my little training, you can't calmly find a way, how will you help your father? Sacrifice your life to help?" Li Yan coldly said.
