Shen Run is an office drone.
Fresh out of college, she joined an outsourcing company, working like a beast of burden: two days off a month, phone on 24/7, delayed wages a common occurrence, a...
Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Will You Still Like Me? (Second Update…
Until Chi Shuangliu left completely, Chen Run's mind was still in a daze.
It was not only because of the quarrel between the two, but also because of Chi Ge's sudden change.
In her heart, Chi Shuangliu is gentle and elegant, emotionally stable, full of tolerance and patience towards her, taking care of her and protecting her like a close relative. He is the best person she has ever met in her life.
But today, a few cracks appeared on his beautiful skin, and an evil and ferocious monster stretched out its tentacles from the cracks eagerly.
Shen Run was frightened by his own imagination and was unable to recover for a long time.
She seemed to suddenly not recognize Chi Shuangliu.
Come to think of it, does she really understand him?
She suddenly realized that she knew nothing about Chi Shuangliu.
Where is he from? What is his past? Are his parents or relatives still alive? Does he have any friends? How old is he this year? When is his birthday?
She knew nothing, yet she dared to live with him and date him? It was like waking from a dream, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
She spent the next few days in a depressed mood, forcing herself to go to the library to read every day. At first glance, she seemed very busy, going out early and coming back late, but in fact, she could hardly read a few words.
She wanted to call Chi Shuangliu to keep him, but when she thought of the bloody scene that night, she really doubted that she could not get over it, and her fingers slid across the screen again and again.
She rarely hesitated, so she stared at her phone until midnight. She woke up late in the morning and planned to find some leftovers in the refrigerator - but she didn't expect that the refrigerator was full of food.
She loved braised dishes with a strong flavor profile. Chi Shuangliu's braised beef, duck necks, duck wings, chicken feet, gizzards, and vegetables were neatly arranged in the refrigerator. Beneath the refrigerated shelves was a large box of spicy and sour lemon boneless chicken feet—they were too expensive for her to afford, so Chi Shuangliu always made a large batch for her as a snack. His boneless chicken feet were truly exceptional, and Chen Run could boast of a whole bowl without even mentioning it.
Due to his unremitting efforts in cooking every day, his cooking skills quickly reached the peak, so he switched to baking in the past few days. The bottom drawer of the refrigerator is filled with taro paste, egg tarts, Basque cakes, butter cookies, etc.
The freezer is also full. In addition to staple foods such as steamed buns, dumplings, and steamed buns, there are also many semi-finished steamed dishes and stews. When you want to eat them, you can just microwave them for five minutes. It is very convenient.
——Since Chen Run had a stomachache from eating leftovers before, everything in the refrigerator was made sure to be fresh. They were all made by him before, but they couldn’t be eaten in the next few days.
Shen Run looked at the refrigerator and his nose began to feel sore.
Not only that, he would help her prepare clothes to wear when going out according to the temperature of the next day. When the weather was hot, he would sprinkle floral water in her room to repel mosquitoes. When she was on her menstrual period, he would be as prepared as if she were facing an enemy and would prepare various types of sanitary napkins in advance.
These nice details to her couldn't be fake, right? Maybe she shouldn't think too much about it. Maybe he was just desperate that night?
When people are unwilling to face the facts, they always find countless excuses for themselves.
Chen Run had no appetite for food. He opened the chat page and started typing, deleting, and reducing. Finally, he sent a long essay.
After sending the message, she was mentally prepared for Chi Shuangliu to ignore her. After all, what he said that night already implied a breakup, and the two hadn't been in touch for several days. It would be strange for Chi Shuangliu to pay attention to her.
Unexpectedly, within five minutes, there was a knock on the door. Chi Shuangliu appeared at the door of the rental house, his tone reserved and cold: "I saw the message you sent me, and I was afraid that you might get into trouble, so I rushed over."
Thinking of her neglect these days, he put his hands in his pockets and deliberately did not enter the house.
His tone was gentle yet unfamiliar: "What do you want to talk to me about? I'm a little busy today and may not be able to stay for too long."
Chen Run didn't think much about it. She licked her lips nervously and asked directly, "Are we broken up now?"
Chi Shuangliu was caught off guard by the straight ball: "..."
The deliberately awkward expression on his face suddenly broke. He stepped into the room, locked the door behind him, and enveloped her in his shadow.
His expression was horrified, his pupils slowly turning dark, and he grasped her wrist: "You want to break up with me?"
"...Didn't you say you wanted to consider breaking up with me?" Shen Run was confused.
For a moment, Chi Shuangliu's expression became quite interesting.
He stared at her for a full half minute before slowly and humiliatingly taking back his words: "...That was just a fit of anger."
Given Shen Run's linear thinking, Chi Shuangliu was afraid that she wouldn't understand, so he added, "I don't want to break up with you."
After the embarrassing experience of that night, Chi Shuangliu no longer mentioned breaking up. He changed his tactics in time and lowered his eyes: "You said very harsh words that night, and I was very sad."
He pursed his lips, his expression slightly melancholic. "Seeing you almost get killed, do you know how anxious and scared I was? I just wanted to help you get revenge, but I didn't expect you to blame me for those people."
He was very good at disguise. His long eyelashes drooped, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he looked misunderstood and aggrieved, which made people's hearts break.
Chen Run was very fooled by this and felt guilty first: "Brother Chi, that's not what I meant."
Chi Shuangliu's lips curled slightly, but he had no intention of letting her go. He asked, "What do you mean?"
He pinched her chin: "Do you think I'm cruel? Are you disgusted by the bloody sight of me? Will you..." He paused, and for the first time, a hint of hesitation flashed across his face. He pursed his lips before asking those few words: "Do you like me?"
Shen Run, filled with guilt, could only answer against his will: "It's OK, I don't hate it, I like it."
Finally getting what he wanted to hear out of her mouth, Chi Shuangliu's brows completely relaxed, like a gentle spring breeze.
He couldn't help himself, hugged her and kissed her for a while, then said something to her lips.
"Remember what you said today."
His voice was very soft, and the creepy aura was masked by his soft and pleasant voice.
After kissing enough, Chi Shuangliu took her hand and took her to buy groceries and cook.
While he was busy in the kitchen, Shen Run glanced at his phone and was slightly stunned.
——There was a big bright red exclamation mark in front of the short essay I sent to Chi Shuangliu, which means that the message was not sent.
But he came back.
Also, where is he living these days?
Shen Run touched his head in confusion.
.......
The days that followed finally returned to peace. The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention their quarrel. The only difference was that Chi Shuangliu became increasingly clingy, barely able to tolerate her leaving his sight. His control became even stronger. Sometimes, even if she went out to see a friend, she would have to inform him of every detail: who was she meeting? where was she going? what time would she be back?
Fortunately, Chen Run hasn’t been going out much recently, otherwise it would be really a headache.
Chi Shuangliu's hair has grown a lot longer, and she plans to take him to the mall to get his hair done. She has always been a makeshift person, but she is very generous when it comes to spending money on Chi Shuangliu, and she especially enjoys the process of dressing him up.
Shen Run felt that her mentality was a little bad, but Chi Ge was too handsome...she couldn't help it.
There was a luxury barber shop in the mall that specialized in men's haircuts. It was filled with grown men. After Chi Shuangliu got a seat, she wandered around the mall. Unexpectedly, she ran into an acquaintance on the second floor. She blurted out, "Fang Yi?"
For some reason, Fang Yi was in a very bad state, with a pale face and lips, as if she was haunted by a ghost. When she saw Chen Run, she was stunned for a few seconds, and the expression on her face was as if she had seen a ghost. She screamed and turned around and ran away.
Chen Run: “…”
She had just casually said hello, but Fang Yi's words really piqued her curiosity. She quickly chased after her, grabbed Fang Yi's arm, and asked in confusion, "Why are you running?"
Fang Yi waved her hands randomly: "Go away, stay away from me!"
After meeting Chen Run's beautiful and evil boyfriend, she fell seriously ill that day, and had nightmares every night, and had been plagued by bad luck until now - so she concluded that there must be something evil about Chen Run's boyfriend, no, or he himself was some kind of evil monster.
Her expression was a little nervous: "Monster, your boyfriend is..."
She closed her mouth in horror, shook off Chen Run's hand, and ran away in a panic.
Shen Run was slightly stunned.
She is talking about...Chi Shuangliu?
Fang Yi had met Chi Shuangliu before when she came to pick up her luggage. Why did she say Chi Shuangliu was a monster?
She was lost in thought when her head was suddenly held up by a long, broad hand, forcing her to turn around.
Chi Shuangliu actually didn't cut his hair short, but just trimmed it slightly. His head was thick, and the slightly longer curly hair was casually tied up at the back of his head, like a slightly curved wolf's tail - this hairstyle must have been carefully designed, deliberately revealing his deep and beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and adding a bit of free and wild temperament.
Shen Run's eyes widened.
Chi Shuangliu was very satisfied with her stunning appearance and smiled softly: "You are very happy to see your old friends, right?"
Chen Run paused for a moment before reacting: "You mean Fang Yi? I just said hello to her."
She thought for a moment: "Brother Chi, have you met her? Why did she say you are a monster?"
Chi Shuangliu carefully observed her expression, and when he was sure that she was not showing any other abnormalities, he shrugged casually: "She bumped into me when I was using my superpowers to do housework that day. Aren't those of us with superpowers monsters in the eyes of ordinary people?"
Chi Shuangliu felt no guilt at all. This woman had bullied Chen Run for so long, and he just let her be unlucky for a year or two. What did he do wrong?
The only thing he regretted was that he had not completely resolved the hidden danger - after all, she still had Shen Run's contact information.
This was a very reasonable statement, and Shen Run couldn't help but nodded.
But even if she was hit and used her superpowers, Fang Yi seemed to be a little too scared?
The thought turned over in her mind, but she could find no evidence to support it, so she put it out of her mind.
The two walked out of the mall hand in hand, and Chi Shuangliu casually asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
Chen Run was greedy: "I want to eat squirrel mandarin fish. Is it a bit troublesome?"
"Your problems are never a problem," Chi Shuangliu kissed her on the forehead. "We need to go to the seafood market to buy freshly killed mandarin fish. You go home and wait for me first, okay?"
After Chen Run left, he turned his gaze and looked in the direction Fang Yi left, with a sinister and sharp curve at the corner of his lips.
......
Fang Yi didn't know what a person with super powers was. She thought Chi Shuangliu was some kind of monster and that she had been possessed by evil spirits, so she spent money to hire Taoist priests and monks to perform rituals, and even invited a Western priest - but it was of no use at all.
She was recently introduced to a new master, who assured her that the master had real skills. She was desperate and rushed into the master's venue.
The master invited her to the innermost quiet room. She stammered incoherently, "Master, please save me! I've seen her, and he must be nearby too!"
"Don't worry, don't worry. This is a bit difficult to handle. It depends on whether you are willing to cooperate."
The master's eyes were darting around Fang Yi's young and beautiful body.
He is a low-level psychic, and in the eyes of ordinary people he is considered to have some abilities. He relies on his little abilities to cheat people of their money and seduce them of their bodies, and he has succeeded countless times.
"I'll cooperate, I'll cooperate. As long as I can stop him from bothering me, I'll do anything!"
Fang Yi choked up, not knowing what she remembered, and she grasped the master's hand: "Master, can you let him pester her? If he pesters her, he won't pester me!
She probably thought of the story of the scapegoat, and her voice gradually became sharper: "Let her go through this, let her die, let her die for me!"
It’s all Chen Run’s fault. If it weren’t for her, how could she have been possessed by evil spirits?
Chen Run was clearly the demon's girlfriend, so why did she still look so alive and kicking? She was the one who should have died!
The master is a C-level psychic. His ability is called "damage transfer", which can transfer a certain degree of damage and pain suffered by himself to a designated target. He asked Fang Yi for a photo of Chen Run, gestured mysteriously for a while, locked the target with the help of the photo, and cast his ability through the air.
As he released his supernatural powers, his body suddenly froze.
The next second, his head suddenly exploded like a watermelon being juiced.
A clear and gentle voice sounded behind Fang Yi, with a hint of curiosity at the end: "Tell me, who do you want to die for you?"
