Chapter 93 A Night of Chaos
Shao Leyan's heart tightened, and he felt so guilty that he could hardly breathe.
"I...I'm really not a human!"
Shao Leyan looked at the tightly closed door, his legs seemed to be rooted to the floor. No matter how anxious he was, he couldn't take a step forward.
she
You should apologize.
But I don’t know if going now will disturb Wen Youheng and his grandmother.
It would be fine if the other party accepted her apology, but what if he didn’t?
How can she have the nerve to continue living in someone else's house?
Shao Leyan clenched the skirt in her hand and bit her lower lip in distress.
Le An couldn't bear to watch it any longer and patted her on the back comfortingly.
"It's okay, we can talk about it tomorrow. It's been quite tiring today, so you should get some sleep first."
Shao Leyan nodded, but couldn't say anything.
A sleepless night.
Shao Leyan lay on his side on the sofa, clutching the thin blanket covering him with both hands.
Snap!
There was a crisp sound of the door opening. Shao Leyan looked up and saw Wen Youheng walking straight to the kitchen, pouring himself a glass of water, and drinking it all in one gulp.
From beginning to end, he never looked at Shao Leyan sitting on the sofa or Le An sleeping on the floor.
He didn't even turn his head towards them.
Shao Leyan was not sad, but felt it was natural.
She stayed in someone else's house yesterday and unknowingly hurt them. The one with the wrong look is her, right?
She didn't have time to put on her shoes, so she trotted barefoot to Wen Youheng, staring at him with her bright eyes without blinking. The dark circles under her eyes were really hard to ignore. The fingers of her hands folded across her chest were twisted into a knot.
Wen Youheng put down his water cup, raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
"I'm here to apologize. I'm so sorry for yesterday. I thought about it all night and felt really stupid. I didn't understand it in depth before..."
Wen Youheng waved his hand to interrupt her.
"This is the end of the world. Kindness and regret are the most useless things. Coincidentally, you have both."
For a moment, Shao Leyan couldn't tell whether Wen Youheng was praising her or scolding her. She stared at him in confusion and asked, "You...what do you want to say?"
Wen Youheng looked Shao Leyan up and down calmly. The white dress seemed to be tailor-made for her, revealing her slender swan neck with beautiful lines, and even half of her calves were as slender and well-proportioned as lotus roots.
She is a true natural beauty.
But how could such an angelic figure exist in the apocalypse?
Wen Youheng only felt that an illusion appeared before his eyes.
He muttered absentmindedly, "Who are you?"
Dungeon.
Mu Jinsheng and Mu Jiaojiao, brother and sister, rushed to the scene overnight. When they pushed open the door of Fu Xingchen's office, a haggard-looking man came into their sight, which showed how difficult the situation was.
Fu Xingchen was unaware of the two people entering the room. His bloodshot eyes stared at the surveillance video on the display screen without blinking.
Shao Leyan entered the research institute and went upstairs to Le'an's materials room. He replayed the short video of just a few minutes hundreds of times in less than one night.
Mu Jinsheng had a gloomy face, and before he even walked in, he heard Fu Xingchen muttering to himself in anger.
"It must have been Shi Huai who did it! It must have been him!"
Mu Jinsheng frowned even more tightly, and Mu Jiaojiao's face turned pale. The guilt in her heart was about to drown her.
When the Mu siblings walked to the desk, Fu Xingchen finally noticed them, but he did not restrain his madness at all.
"Le Yan disappeared at the research institute, but Xing Yan checked and she's no longer there."
Mu Jinsheng took a deep breath and tried to communicate with Fu Xingchen with a rational mindset and a calm tone.
"Do you suspect Shi Huai is using his old tricks again?"
"It must be him."
"But there have been constant disputes, big and small, between the three cities during this period. How could he have the time..."
"What else?" Fu Xingchen's eyes were red with hatred, and two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. "Could it be that Le Yan voluntarily left me and Ping An and ran away from home?"
Mu Jinsheng was speechless.
Silence slowly flowed, and the three of them felt heavy-hearted.
After a long pause, Mu Jinsheng spoke in a hoarse voice, "What should I do?"
Chiyan District, Wen Youheng's home.
Three adults sat comfortably on the small sofa.
Le An was caught in the middle, and from time to time he glanced at the people on both sides who were arguing with each other, and he was suddenly overwhelmed.
Wen Youheng glanced out the window, suddenly stood up, picked up his jacket, and looked like he was about to leave.
Le An quickly grabbed him and tried to persuade him, "Hey! Youheng, my sister is young and naive. If she has offended you in any way, I hope you will forgive her. You saved us and gave us a place to stay. We can't thank you enough. How could you..."
Wen Youheng looked at the chattering Le An in surprise and pulled his arm back from his embrace. "You misunderstood. I'm not angry with her, and I won't chase you away. You can stay here as long as you want, but you have to figure out how to take care of things like meals on your own."
Le An's expression changed from gloomy to cheerful. Seeing him putting on his shoes, he asked curiously, "Where are you in such a hurry to go now?"
"I'm going to work. I'll be back in two hours."
After Wen Youheng finished speaking, his hand had already grasped the door handle.
Seeing this, Le An stretched out his long arms and hugged his waist tightly. "Brother, where do you work? You only need to work two hours. Can you help me find a job?"
Wen Youheng looked at Le An in surprise, who looked sincere. "You misunderstood. I just have to go home every two hours. It doesn't mean that I only have to work two hours a day."
"Oh, I see. That's okay, I can endure hardship. As long as I have enough supplies to feed my sister and me, I can work more than ten hours."
Wen Youheng softened his tone, "Your special ability?"
Le An started telling lies without blinking.
"I am also a space-based esper like you, but my level is not high."
Wen Youheng nodded in understanding, recalling the scene of Le An's awkward response to the zombies last night, and was half-believing and half-doubting what he said.
"That's fine, then come with me!"
After Wen Youheng finished speaking, he glanced at Shao Leyan who was sitting on the sofa watching them, then opened the door and left without any reluctance.
Shao Leyan nodded at Le'an who winked at her, then lay back on the sofa obediently wrapped in a small blanket.
Although it is not known how long they will have to work, as long as Le An can come back at night and freeze her before she loses control, it will be fine.
The surroundings were too quiet and sleepiness came over him, so Shao Leyan closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
She didn't know how long she had slept, but she vaguely heard strange noises, like the chirping of mice, or the weak and breathless sound.
The noise wasn't loud but it lasted for several minutes until it woke her up.
Shao Leyan opened his sleepy eyes, still feeling drowsy.
She sat up and looked around for the source of the noise.
It seemed to come from Wen Youheng's room.
At this moment, Shao Leyan had an idea.
Didn’t Le An say that Wen Youheng has a grandmother who depends on him for everything?
She gently pushed open the door and saw the old man on the bed.
