Chapter 493 Isn’t this serious?
If she hadn't gone through all that before, Guan Xuefen would definitely have agreed immediately without much thought after hearing what Cui's mother said.
But now, faced with Cui's mother's urgent plea to stay, Guan Xuefen felt a chill run through her body, and the place seemed to have transformed into the legendary Spider Cave that devours people, making her eager to escape.
Ye Wanxi felt the slight trembling from her subordinate and patted her hand reassuringly: "Isn't this a bad idea? Won't it be too much trouble for you? Besides, there are so many of us, I'm afraid you won't be able to accommodate us all."
"How about we stay in town for the night? It's just getting dark now, it'll only take an hour to get there, we can make it. We can have Xiaoxue contact your Yuezhen tomorrow morning when we're ready to go out, and then we can go out together."
"We can accommodate everyone!" Mrs. Cui said urgently. "We have plenty of rooms, and we can accommodate a few more people. It's so inconvenient for you to travel back and forth so late at night. Are you just going to make do for one night, or do you think our rooms are too simple and not as clean and comfortable as those in the city, and that's why you don't want to stay here and are determined to leave?"
Mrs. Cui's words were indeed quite harsh, but they also indirectly revealed her urgency; she was almost willing to disregard everything else in order to keep them here.
Ye Wanxi feigned surprise and said with difficulty, "Auntie, you're exaggerating. We really didn't mean it that way. But since you've said so, we'll stay for one night. It's really too much trouble for you."
Mrs. Cui was overjoyed: "No trouble at all, you must be tired from your journey. Since you're not hungry, why don't you go upstairs, take a shower, and rest? Yuezhen, quickly take your friend and the other guests upstairs. The three of them can stay in the two empty rooms on the right, and you two..."
"We two can share a room."
"Alright, Yuezhen, take them to the room next to your parents'."
Guan Xuefen wanted to say something, but Ye Wanxi pulled her back, and she fell silent.
The two Shi brothers were also somewhat unwilling; they weren't stupid, they knew there was clearly something wrong with this family.
In this situation, staying by Ye Wanxi's side is obviously the safest option.
But it wouldn't be appropriate for the two grown men to say they wanted to spend the night with Ye Wanxi, even if her host family agreed, her boyfriend wouldn't.
Ye Wanxi noticed the changes in their expressions and glanced at her senior brother with a half-smile.
With such a golden opportunity right in front of them, these two guys didn't even realize they should take advantage of it. I wonder if they'll regret it later.
But then again, it's interesting that even the eldest brother has his abilities questioned!
Senior Brother Feng, whose abilities were being questioned: Ha!
Ye Wanxi and the others followed Cui Yuezhen upstairs, only to find that the rooms Cui's mother had arranged for the two girls were far away from the two rooms occupied by Feng Tianyu and the others, with a long corridor in between.
If something were to really happen between the two of them, Feng Tianyu and the others inside the house might not be able to find out.
Ye Wanxi's eyes flickered slightly as she pulled Guan Xuefen into the house.
Cui Yuezhen gave the two a few instructions and then left. As soon as she was gone, Guan Xuefen couldn't help but complain, "What were you doing just now...?"
Guan Xuefen stopped mid-sentence, her eyes widening like copper bells.
After realizing what was happening, she couldn't help but want to scream, but Ye Wanxi quickly covered her mouth.
"Shh." Ye Wanxi gestured for her to be quiet. Seeing that she was getting more and more agitated, she quickly said, "I'll let go, but you have to promise me you won't scream or make a sound, okay?"
"Mmm-hmm!" Guan Xuefen nodded hurriedly, anxiously pointing to the hand Ye Wanxi was covering.
Ye Wanxi breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew her hand, and took a step back.
Guan Xuefen blushed with excitement, her eyes fixed on Ye Wanxi, as if confirming that this was not just her imagination.
"Little Leaf?"
"It's me."
“Little Leaf, Little Leaf, Little Leaf! It really is you! It was you! I should have known! Little Xi, Little Xi, not the 'Xi' of east, west, south, north, and north, but the 'Xi' of Little Leaf. Waaah, why didn’t you tell me? I’m so excited, so thrilled, so… I really want to cry.” Guan Xuefen couldn’t help but cry as she spoke.
Seeing her idol brought her excitement and peace of mind, but the various shocks she had experienced that day, along with the anxiety and fear of the unknown, made her feel happy, sad, and wronged all at once.
Ye Wanxi could understand her feelings, sighed, and reached out to hug her.
"I didn't tell you at first because I had something to do on this trip and it wasn't convenient for me to acknowledge you. But then something went wrong, so I changed my mind."
Guan Xuefen calmed down after crying for a while. Hearing Ye Wanxi's words, she seemed to realize something and said, "What's wrong? Little Ye, did you... did you know about this on the plane...?"
“When we first met you, your forehead was slightly gray and your cheeks were a little dark, which means you’ve been having bad luck lately. But in your case, this bad luck isn’t particularly serious. At most, you might twist your ankle while walking, lose money when you go out, have your shower water suddenly cut off, or not have the seasoning packet when you eat instant noodles.”
Guan Xuefen: "..." Isn't this serious enough?
"But just as you mentioned your friend, a sudden flush appeared on your forehead, and your bad luck intensified."
Guan Xuefen swallowed hard: "Then...what will happen?"
Ye Wanxi glanced at her: "You'll lose your life."
Guan Xuefen's heart skipped a beat: "So, what that vegetable-selling auntie said was true? Yuezhen's family really killed someone? And not just one, they... I... I'm their next target, right?"
Once Ye Wanxi's identity was revealed, many of Guan Xuefen's questions were finally answered.
No wonder she met this person by chance; just because they shared the same "idol," the other person was so friendly and asked to travel with her and look after each other.
No wonder those elderly folks disappeared as soon as they heard they were coming to Cui Yuezhen's house, leaving only the vegetable vendor. This person always intentionally or unintentionally led the vendor to talk about rumors about Cui Yuezhen's family.
No wonder they didn't leave after learning about the terrible rumors surrounding Cui Yuezhen's family. Instead, they insisted on coming with her, even going so far as to lie and say they were her relatives in order to stay with her.
Guan Xuefen was both touched and proud. Other people's idols could only call each other "husband" and "wife" and have a fleeting moment of excitement, but their idols could save their lives!
"What's going on with their family? Could it really be like that little kid said, that they eat people?"
Guan Xuefen's face turned pale at the thought.
"It's not that they eat it, it's that the things they raise eat it."
Guan Xuefen was startled again: "What kind of thing are you raising that eats people? Could it be some kind of python or tiger?"
“It’s not a ferocious beast.” Ye Wanxi quietly lifted a corner of the curtain and looked down. “It’s a Gu poison.”
