Chapter 157, Beauty
Sleep paralysis... This ghost also complained that her room was messy? A surge of anger rushed to her head, and Shen Yao sat up from the sofa in an instant, her movements extremely swift.
"You bastard!" She stood up, picked up the clothes hanger thrown casually on the sofa, pointed it at the person leaning against the door, and said angrily, "How did you get in..."
After seeing the man's face clearly, the aggressive words became quieter and quieter, and finally fell into silence.
Oh my God! The girl restrained her expression and gasped.
In this world, there really are men this good-looking! In an instant, many adjectives emerged in Shen Yao's mind - beautiful as a crown of jade, elegant and graceful, stunning the moon and the flowers, and stunning the whole country... The key point is that although this guy looks weird, he doesn't look feminine at all.
In short, she is a rare and pleasing beauty.
"Is this your apartment?" The young man smiled softly, looking harmless. "Sorry, I'm lost, and it's curfew now, so..."
"Lost?" Shen Yao was still holding the clothes hanger, but her tone softened unconsciously when she spoke. "Are you a staff member of the base? New here? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"Me?" The young man looked around, stood up straight, and formally introduced himself, "My name is Qin Huai. I used to be a member of the Xiling base, but not anymore."
"Qin... Qin Huai?" This name is so well-known that it's hard not to know it. The veins on Chen Yao's forehead jumped, and her brain, which was dazzled by beauty, started to function normally. "Is it the Qin Huai from "Yue Mooring at Qin Huai"? Your name is really beautiful."
The girl sighed and said, putting down the hanger and sitting back on the sofa.
The beauty walked to the opposite side of her, lowering her eyebrows and eyes: "Do you know me?"
Chen Yao looked bewildered: "Ah? Are you famous?" Looking at the beauty's harmless face, Chen Yao obeyed her inner thoughts and added, "Your name is quite nice and suits your appearance very well."
Seemingly satisfied with her answer, Qin Huai sat down opposite her and stared at the girl for a moment. He didn't look away until she stared back awkwardly. "You don't seem to be panicked at all about a stranger entering your house?"
"I'm panicking." Shen Yao glared at him, "But since you've already come in, there's no point in me panicking, don't you think?"
The girl ragged her messy short hair irritably: "If I say I'm panicking, will you go out?"
The beauty shook her head honestly: "No."
Shen Yao rolled her eyes: “Then what’s the point of me panicking?”
After she finished speaking, she stood up with a grumble and walked towards the kitchen with heavy steps: "Want to drink something? I want to squeeze a glass of juice."
Qin Huai leaned back on the sofa, not hiding his tiredness: "Thank you."
"Oh." Chen Yao walked around the kitchen holding the apple, sighed in frustration, squeezed two glasses of juice and brought them out, "Here you go."
She placed a glass in front of him: "I like to drink iced, so I didn't ask your opinion and just added ice."
If you want to drink, drink it; if you don’t want to drink, forget it.
Qin Huai took it, thanked him politely, and took a small sip.
Chen Yao drank juice leisurely, and looked at the person opposite calmly: Wow, he is really beautiful, no wonder he can coax girls around with just his face.
"Hey." Seeing him finish his glass of juice, Chen Yao said, "I can allow you to stay for one night, but you must leave tomorrow, otherwise I will notify the Special Ability Team and have them come to arrest you."
"Why are you arresting me?" The beauty looked at her innocently, like a disliked cat, looking a little pitiful.
Shen Yao was confused and shook her head quickly, saying fiercely: "Of course it's because you are not from our base - God knows what your purpose is in sneaking into our base. Maybe you were the one who caused the explosion tonight."
"Hey?" Qin Huai laughed and sighed, "I told you, I just got lost and accidentally stumbled into this place."
Only a fool would believe you. Chen Yao madly criticized.
"However, thank you very much, Miss, for your kindness in taking me in for one night." Qin Huai smiled without any temper. "I will leave tomorrow."
Chen Yao yawned: "That's good." She prepared to go back to her room, "I'm going back, you can do whatever you want."
Qin Huai stood up, made a casual gesture, and watched Shen Yao return to the room.
When the girl reached the door, she turned around and stared at him: "I'm warning you, don't even think about attacking me at night. I'm not someone you want to mess with, and I'll definitely beat you up."
Qin Huai nodded: "Yes, yes, I only like beautiful things, you don't have to worry."
Chen Yao: "..." What does this mean? Is he disliking her appearance?
Are good-looking people now openly looking down on average-looking people? That's too much!
The girl snorted loudly and slammed the door.
…
At night, Shen Yao, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, opened her eyes, stared at the ceiling for three seconds, and then sat up swiftly.
I listened at the door for a while, but there was no sound outside.
"He should be asleep..." Shen Yao was unsure, "Go out and take a look?"
The girl opened the door and walked into the living room.
The young man slumped on the sofa, his eyes closed, breathing evenly, seemingly soundly asleep.
Shen Yao swayed in front of him twice to make sure he was really asleep.
"Haha, the juice in my house is not for casual drinking." She squatted in front of the sofa and poked the young man's face as if to vent her anger. "Tsk, such a handsome face, what a pity..."
She stood up and walked towards the door.
But before she could open the door, a sighing voice came from behind her: "Where are you going so late?"
Shen Yao's whole body froze, and she opened the door without hesitation and ran outside.
He had just taken two steps when someone grabbed his collar. The young man's gentle voice was like the whisper of a devil, so close at hand: "Why are you running? I'm not going to eat you."
"Let me go!" Shen Yao kicked him back, "If you don't let go, I'm going to call for help!"
"Call for help?" A hint of mischief flashed in the man's eyes. "I know this line is vulgar, but it's quite appropriate at this moment."
He smiled lightly and said softly, "You can scream as much as you want, even if you scream your throat out, no one will come to save you."
Shen Yao struggled even more violently: "Don't try to scare me!"
"I'm not trying to scare you." He explained patiently, "This floor is covered by my spiritual power. Your voice can't be heard. People outside can't hear it."
Chen Yao: “…”
"I know you drugged the juice, but ordinary sleeping pills don't work on me, so I just left you alone." Qin Huai let go, admiring the girl's collapse after learning the truth. "I also know that you work in the lab, you know my identity, and you know that I was responsible for tonight's explosion. Everything you said and did just now was a show for me - I know everything, I just didn't expose you."
Seeing the girl's expression gradually stiffen, Qin Huai added leisurely: "To be honest, it's quite interesting to watch you act."
The man was still mumbling, Shen Yao looked around, grabbed the fire extinguisher by the wall and threw it at him: "Asshole!"
Facing the fire extinguisher thrown by the girl, Qin Huai's eyes flashed with impatience.
He didn't hide, and said calmly: "Don't move."
Shen Yao's whole body stiffened, and her clear pupils lost focus in an instant.
"Put the fire extinguisher down."
The girl was like a puppet, she put down the fire extinguisher obediently and stood there motionless.
Restraining Shen Yao, Qin Huai stroked her furry head and said, "Be good, go back to sleep."
She responded and walked towards the room.
Qin Huai stood at the door and waited until the person lay down on the bed before he closed the door and sat back on the sofa.
The control outside is strict now, and he is afraid that he will not be able to leave Xiling Base in the next few days. Fortunately, he has a place to stay temporarily, but... the identity of this woman is a bit troublesome.
Lab workers were constantly under Si Xu's watchful eye, and if her mental disturbances were too obvious, Si Xu would quickly notice. But if she wasn't at work for several days, it would also draw attention, especially during this critical period after he had attacked the lab building.
Oh, if he had known it would turn out like this, he should have left the city directly after delivering the gifts.
What a mistake.
