Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion Chapter 360 - Shock and Surprise

Chapter 360: Shock and Surprise

Tan Mo wasn’t able to be with Wei Zhiqian in the afternoon.
It was because not only had Wei Zhiqian arrived early, but Han Zhuoli and the others had arrived early as well.
Since Wei Zhiqian had been so busy keeping an eye on Tan Mo during her three meals a day, the group of friends had not had a chance to gather properly for a long time.
So they grabbed Wei Zhiqian and pulled him away to have some fun.
For this reason, Wei Zhiqian wasn’t there for Tan Mo.
Qin Mufeng had considerately arranged for Tan Mo’s room to be next to Qin Muye’s.
As for Ming Yeqing, his room was of course the farthest room from Qin Muye’s.
About 10:00 pm that night, Tan Mo, wearing her pajamas and carrying her white fluffy rabbit, exited her room.
She took a few steps and arrived outside Qin Muye’s room.
Tan Mo was carrying the big, fluffy rabbit in one hand, and she knocked on Qin Muye’s door with her other hand.
After a short while, the door opened.
Qin Muye stuck her head out.
Seeing that it was Tan Mo, she opened the door in surprise. “Mo Mo, quickly come in!”
Tan Mo carried her rabbit and entered, saying, “I have always wanted to stay with you as your best friend.”
“Me too!” Qin Muye pulled Tan Mo over and climbed onto the bed. “I wanted to go find you, but was afraid that one of your brothers or Brother Zhiqian would be around.”
They kept a close eye on Tan Mo.
When Qin Muye had found out the reason why Wei Zhiqian and her brothers were keeping such a close eye on Tan Mo, she had immediately called Tan Mo and told her.
“There is no one here now that they are worried about, so they do not have to keep an eye on me. My brothers are at ease. Uncle was called away by the other uncles.” Tan Mo was not at all displeased that she was able to have a break from Wei Zhiqian.
Previously, she had rarely seen Wei Zhiqian. Then, when she had the chance to see him, she was thrilled and wanted to stick by his side as much as she could.
However, now, Tan Mo earnestly wished for Wei Zhiqian to have fun by himself.
It was because they had been meeting too frequently, and it was a little too much for her.
However, she had come over tonight upon receiving Qin Mufeng’s instructions.
She must guarantee that Qin Muye stayed awake until midnight.
Therefore, Tan Mo contacted Ming Yeqing on the phone, and the three of them played a game together, trying to boost their rankings.
Qin Muye was not very good at the game and was mostly in charge of cheering them on from the sidelines.
She watched Ming Yeqing and Tan Mo battle it out during the game.
She’d only played a supporting role, but because of Tan Mo and Ming Yeqing, her ranking was upgraded to King.
“Both of you are demons.” Qin Muye was not very focused on the game. “Could it be that geniuses are good at everything they do?”
They were even amazing at games.
Time passed very quickly while they played the game.
Tan Mo kept an eye on the time.
It was almost midnight, but they were in the middle of the current round.
Tan Mo sent Ming Yeqing a message: “Come on, hurry up!”
Qin Mufeng did not inform Ming Yeqing about his plans for midnight.
He didn’t want Ming Yeqing to have the chance to be beside Qin Muye.
However, from what Tan Mo had said, Ming Yeqing knew that there was certainly some plan.
He then cooperated and increased his speed.
They finished the round quickly and had 40 seconds left before midnight.
“Are we continuing?” Qin Muye had yet to have enough.
Tan Mo covered her mouth as she yawned and found an excuse. “Nah, you will be the focus of everyone’s attention tomorrow and you must look beautiful. It is better to go to sleep early tonight so you can be in peak condition.”
“All right.” Qin Muye exited the game.
There was a knock at the door.
“It is so late, who can it be?” Qin Muye found it odd that someone was knocking on her door so late at night. She got off her bed and walked toward the door.
Qin Muye walked in front and could not see what was happening behind her. Tan Mo was busy picking up the rabbit she’d brought over.
She pulled open a zipper on the rabbit’s back and retrieved a small cylindrical object before she followed her quietly.
Qin Muye had no idea what was going on as she went to open the door.
The whole manor had been booked by Qin Mufeng so there were no outsiders.
Thus, Qin Muye was not worried about who could be at the door..
When she was just about to open the door, Tan Mo moved close to her ear and said softly, “Who knocks on the door at midnight? It is a little dangerous at this time.”
HMMM? Qin Muye paused.
Then she heard Tan Mo say, “Do you remember the horror stories we watched, many of them taking place in a hotel. At midnight, along a soulless corridor, flickering lights…”
“You…you stop talking.” Qin Muye was getting frightened out of her wits. “My brother arranged for everyone to be on this level, so it is our own people on our left, right, and opposite us. It…it will be all right.”
“Do you remember ‘Stranger Things’?” Tan Mo asked softly. “What if we have fallen into an upside-down world? Everything is the same as the original world, but it does not have the people from the original world. There is only us left in this world, and it is especially lonely.”
Qin Muye had not been thinking like this, but she had chills down her spine from what Tan Mo had just said.
“Why don’t you try sending a message to Yeqing and see if he responds? If he doesn’t respond, then that means…” Tan Mo even specially lowered her voice. So now the content of what she was saying was complemented by her voice and tone.
Qin Muye did not feel well.
Tan Mo saw that she had achieved the effect she wanted and said, “It’s all right, open the door, I am with you.”
Unexpectedly, Qin Muye had become frightened by Tan Mo and did not dare to open the door. She only dared to stick to the door and ask the person outside, “Who…who is it?…”
Qin Mufeng: “……”
Qin Mufeng had not heard what Tan Mo had softly said.
However, Wei Zhiqian had heard everything.
He was unable to stop smiling behind Qin Mufeng.
She was so mischievous.
“Ha, ha, ha, open it!” Tan Mo laughed and said, “How could we be so unlucky and really experience such a thing?”
A knock came on the door again.
“Open the door. Something might really be the matter,” Tan Mo reminded her.
With Tan Mo around, Qin Muye should at least be a little courageous.
She then daringly opened a door a tiny bit.
She saw that the light that shone from the corridor was very bright.
Qin Muye thus was more at ease and she opened the door fully.
Tan Mo took the opportunity and opened the tube with a POP POP sound.
Long ribbons inside shot out.
“Happy birthday!” Tan Mo shouted.
Outside the door, Qin Mufeng was carrying a cake.
A candle in the shape of the number 18 was on the cake.
It was not a flame-burning candle, but one with sparks.
It looked like small-scale fireworks and was very pretty.
Qin Mufeng had originally wanted to switch off the lights on the corridor.
There were no other customers in the manor anyway.
However, after he’d found out what Tan Mo had said, Qin Mufeng gave up on the idea.
Otherwise, if Qin Muye was scared, he would not be able to wait for Qin Muye to open the door even if he was outside all night.
The surprise would be wasted.
“Happy birthday!”
Everyone was outside the door, Ming Yeqing included.
It was after she’d heard the plan from Qin Mufeng that she understood why they’d stayed at the manor’s main hotel on the first night.
