93: Chapter 93 The Mysterious Woman
By the time Lin Xiao regained his composure, he was already sitting back down on the toilet.
Standing before him was a person wearing sportswear, sunglasses, and a face mask.
To be precise, a woman.
Lin Xiao looked up at the woman's chest and couldn't help but rub his nose.
If he wasn't mistaken, those two mounds were the culprits that had bumped into him!
"What are you staring at?"
The woman looked thoroughly displeased.
But it seemed she was hiding from something, as she deliberately lowered her voice, terrified of being heard by the people outside.
Seeing Lin Xiao about to open his mouth, she immediately threatened, "If you dare make a sound and expose my location, believe me, you'll be in big trouble!"
Lin Xiao didn't know what this woman was hiding from, so he had no choice but to silently close his mouth again.
Before long, a flurry of noisy footsteps rang out from outside.
"What's going on? No one in the women's restroom? I clearly saw her come in."
"Could she have gone into the men's restroom?"
"It's possible! Let's go! Check it out!"
"..."
After a brief discussion, the footsteps began to approach.
Lin Xiao frowned slightly.
The woman in front of him was indeed in some trouble.
Normally, he wouldn't want to get involved with someone he just happened to meet like this.
But he didn't know who was outside, and if they indiscriminately mistook him for the woman's accomplice, it would be impossible to explain.
Soon, the footsteps stopped outside the stall door where they were.
"Huh? Why is it locked!"
The person outside said suspiciously.
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes in annoyance and shouted loudly, "Duh! If it's locked, it means someone is inside! Why are you making such a racket? Aren't there plenty of other stalls next to you?"
The person at the door seemed startled and, not caring about anything else for the moment, quickly apologized, "Sorry, sorry."
"So annoying. Can't even slack off and take a dump without being disturbed!"
Lin Xiao continued to complain indignantly.
After apologizing repeatedly, the person at the door jogged away.
"I must have seen wrong. Sigh, lost her again!"
"Forget it, let's just go camp out at her residence."
"That's all we can do."
"..."
After some grumbling, those people walked away.
Lin Xiao then looked up at the woman.
"You've got some sense for helping me."
The woman breathed a sigh of relief.
"So, can I now..."
Lin Xiao pointed at the stall door, signaling that he wanted to leave.
But the woman seemed to have misunderstood something. After thinking for a moment, she started rummaging through her bag.
Lin Xiao was instantly confused.
Is this woman going to pull out a knife?
Thinking about it carefully, he had been quite reckless in helping drive the people outside away.
He had actually assumed this woman was a good person.
But what if she wasn't?
What if the woman was a bad person, and the people outside earlier were police...
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao felt a chill down his back.
Just as he was thinking about how to quickly subdue the woman, her hand finally came out of her bag.
And what she was holding was a thick marker pen.
"Turn around."
The woman tugged at Lin Xiao's arm.
Lin Xiao was even more confused.
Surely this woman didn't want to stab him to death with this pen, right?
That wasn't very realistic!
"Oh, hurry up and turn around."
The woman seemed to be getting impatient; she grabbed Lin Xiao's arm and forcibly turned him around.
Immediately after, Lin Xiao felt the sensation of something scratching against his back.
"Alright, consider this autograph a gift. Keep the clothes well-preserved, don't wash them."
After saying this, the woman opened the stall door and strode away.
An autograph?
Lin Xiao only then realized what had happened. He ran to the sink, turned around, and looked at his back through the mirror.
Sure enough, a flamboyant, cursive autograph had appeared on his snow-white jacket.
As a student at A University, Lin Xiao considered himself a top-tier student.
But he stared at the signature for a long time and couldn't make out what it actually said.
After hesitating for a moment, he immediately took off his jacket and rinsed it in the sink.
Unfortunately, the marker was waterproof; no matter how hard he scrubbed, the black mark didn't fade in the slightest.
"How could you return kindness with enmity?"
Lin Xiao was on the verge of tears.
No matter what, he had helped that woman, yet she had ruined his clothes.
This jacket was a gift from his eldest sister; he really liked it because of its style and fit.
But the woman was long gone, and he couldn't make her pay for it.
The more Lin Xiao thought about it, the angrier he got. He had come to the company to help his eldest sister all morning, only to end up with this result.
No, this has to count as a work-related injury!
Since he couldn't find that woman, he would make his eldest sister buy him another one!
Having decided, Lin Xiao stormed back to Lin Chuge's office.
But unexpectedly, the moment he pushed the door open, he saw that same woman sitting leisurely on the sofa in the office!
Her sunglasses were perched on her hair, and her mask was pulled down to one side, hanging from her ear.
Seeing the delicate little face the woman revealed, Lin Xiao vaguely felt it looked familiar.
"Why is it you?"
The woman asked first.
Lin Xiao snapped back to reality, threw the jacket next to the woman, and demanded, "Who told you to scribble on my clothes? Now it won't wash off, you have to compensate me!"
The woman was stunned, then turned to look at Lin Chuge, and then back at Lin Xiao.
"Wait, you actually tried to wash off my autograph? Aren't you a fan of mine?"
"Lady, I don't even know who you are!"
"If you're not my fan, why did you help me?"
"How did I know if the people chasing you would hurt me if they saw you with me?"
"You..."
Following Lin Xiao's vigorous argument, the woman was so angry her nose was almost crooked.
Suddenly, Lin Chuge, who was on the side, burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, Lin Xiao, Lin Ran, are you two trying to laugh me to death so you can become the next president of the Lin Corporation?"
