Chapter 2367 Qiao Nian Is Still Not Out By Midnight
During this period, Feng Yu could not wait downstairs anymore and came up to look for her. However, after knocking on the door, Qiao Nian was so focused on decrypting the Morse code that she did not have the time to open the door for him. She only said through the locked door, “Wait a little longer. I’m not done yet.”
Feng Yu stood at her door for a few minutes before quietly going down.

Downstairs in the living room.
Qin Si came out to drink water after playing a game. Seeing that Feng Yu and Ye Maoshan had yet to leave, he walked over and said to the man sitting on the sofa in surprise, “Sister Qiao isn’t out yet?”
Ye w.a.n.gchuan was holding a tablet as if he was looking at something. Hearing this, he placed the tablet on his knees and supported his chin with his hand. Looking in the direction of the second floor, he lazily said, “No.”
“Psst. What’s she busy with up there?” Qin Si glanced at Feng Yu. “I think Dean Feng has been waiting for almost three hours.”
It was almost dark outside, but Feng Yu still did not leave.
Qin Si looked at the sky and then at the two big Buddhas in the living room. He thought for a moment and belatedly said, “At this time, the Dean and Elder Ye will definitely have to eat before leaving. Master w.a.n.g, what are you preparing for them? It won’t be hotpot again, right? Sister Qiao likes to eat it, but I’m a little tired of eating it for every meal recently.”
Ye w.a.n.gchuan casually placed the tablet on the sofa and stood up. Then, he said, “We’ll go out. Gu San is not at home. There are no ingredients.”
“Oh, that’s true.” Qin Si touched his stomach, seeming a little hungry. He muttered to himself, “I wonder when Sister Qiao will be done.”
Although Ye w.a.n.gchuan did not know what Qiao Nian had found in the research inst.i.tute, from the looks of it, it was quite important.
He narrowed his eyes, looking n.o.ble and lazy. He stuffed his hands into his pockets and lazily said, “Let’s wait.”
***
He waited for the entire night.
Seeing that Qiao Nian was still not out at 10:30 PM, Feng Yu took the initiative to go back and wait for news.
Old Master Ye accompanied Ye w.a.n.gchuan to send him out.
He refused to give up.
He waited in the living room for another hour.
It was almost midnight.
Old Master Ye could not take it anymore. He was too embarra.s.sed to wait at Ye w.a.n.gchuan’s place for the night. Hence, he called Ye Lan and asked her to pick him up.
He also left the villa before midnight.
Gu San did not return.
Only Ye w.a.n.gchuan, Qin Si, and Qiao Nian were in the villa.
Qiao Nian was locked in her room. Only Ye w.a.n.gchuan and Qin Si were left downstairs.
Ye w.a.n.gchuan was fine and did not say that he was hungry.
At first, Qin Si could still wait patiently. Later on, when he was really hungry, he ran to the kitchen to rummage through the cabinets to find convenient food.
He came out after cooking a bowl of instant noodles. His famished heart finally calmed down.
As Qin Si carried the instant noodles to the dining room, he did not forget to ask the man still waiting when he pa.s.sed by the living room, “Master w.a.n.g, do you want a bowl? Where’s Sister Qiao? Do you want me to send a bowl of instant noodles up?”
Ye w.a.n.gchuan looked at the bowl of instant noodles and then at the time. It was one in the morning. He rubbed the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows. He had a headache, but he still knew the girl’s personality. “Eat your food. Don’t disturb her.”
“What about you? You’re not eating either?” Qin Si opened the lid and a fragrance
wafted over. He impatiently tore open his chopsticks, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
Then, he asked the thin man, “Are you really not eating?”
