Whether Chen Yan had forgotten Hu Wen or not, no one knew.
He can't forget it anyway.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he would think of Wang Po's corpse. The horrifying image and the sticky feeling made his scalp tingle and his whole body shiver...
Hu Wen even saw Wang Po's face and Old Man Chen's face merging...
When Su Wei returned to the room and saw Chen Yan, he was holding on to the wall and practicing walking slowly.
Su Wei swallowed: "You..."
Chen Yan looked up at her.
Su Wei swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"Are you hungry? I'll cook you a bowl of noodles."
Chen Yan was indeed hungry, but being hungry was not the point right now. He wanted to go to the toilet.
Su Wei: Go ahead, why is he looking at me?
Do you want me to help him hold it?
Isn't this hooliganism?
Su Wei pretended not to understand what he meant. In fact, she was a little curious about how Chen Yan had been going to the toilet all this time, because the original owner was obviously not someone who would serve her.
But Su Wei didn't dare to ask. When she finished cooking, Chen Yan had already gone there. He had even washed his hands and was waiting at the table like a quiet and handsome man...
Su Wei “…”
The slurping sound of eating noodles made Su Wei want to laugh.
The experiences of the past few days have been truly horrific, bizarre, and absurd...
Chen Yan stopped and looked at her. Su Wei said, "It's nothing. Just eat yours."
Neither of them mentioned the matter of Wang Po and Hu Wen.
After dinner it's time to go to bed.
Su Wei regretted it. She shouldn't have been soft-hearted and brought Chen Yan back to live with her.
Putting aside her status as a virgin, her perception of Chen Yan had changed from a poor, angry little boy who had been bullied and suffered the tragic death of his mother and brother...
Wang Po's death was an accident.
But what happened next was not a surprise...
Su Wei understood that Chen Yan was not as simple and innocent as she saw.
Su Wei opened his mouth and said, "If you don't want to live with me, I'll go buy a stove tomorrow and we'll split up..."
Before he could even utter the word "open", Chen Yan had already spread out his bedding and lay down. Upon hearing Su Wei's words, he leaned over to look at her and asked, "Do you want to move out?"
Su Wei “…”
No, you want to, you must want to move out, right? Right?
"Don't you hate me? I don't want to make things difficult for you..." Su Wei was still thinking about what to say when Chen Yan yawned and closed his eyes.
Su Wei “…”
She took a deep breath, thinking that this was indeed Chen Yan's house. This bed and quilt belonged to Chen Yan. She had no right to speak for herself. Moreover, she didn't want to sleep in the cold room next door...
So she went to bed reluctantly.
At first she was afraid to sleep.
She was afraid that Chen Yan would kill her in the middle of the night.
But later, when she heard Chen Yan's even breathing, she couldn't help yawning and slowly fell asleep.
In the darkness, Chen Yan opened his eyes.
He turned his head and stared at Su Wei's face for a long, long time...
…
The next day, Su Wei was awakened by the noise outside. When he opened his eyes and saw Chen Yan lying next to him, he immediately died of sleepiness.
Chen Yan opened his eyes wide and looked at her for who knows how long.
"Good morning..." Su Wei greeted dryly and rubbed the goose bumps on his arms.
Chen Yan stared at her snow-white arms, looked away in disgust, and said as a matter of course: "I'm hungry."
Su Wei “…”
Why is he so confident?
Chen Yan understood the meaning in her eyes and spoke indifferently.
"You said you would take care of me to repay my mother for saving your life..."
He deliberately emphasized the words "life-saving grace".
Su Wei “…”
Yes, that's what she said.
Chen Yan looked at her with an expression that said, "You are lying, I saw through you."
Su Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I'll go cook."
She got out of bed and shivered from the cold, then she saw Chen Yan crawling back into the warm quilt and continuing to sleep.
Su Wei “…”
Su Weiyi was cooking in the kitchen with a feeling of resentment in her heart. She didn’t even understand why she was doing that???
While she was cooking porridge, she heard a noise outside again. It was from Wang Po's house next door. Su Wei thought it was villagers, so she looked out and found that they were two constables. Su Wei's scalp tightened, and one of the constables also saw her.
"Who is that?" asked the constable.
The village chief took a look and said, "It's the wife of Shen Er's family next door."
"Chen Er?" The constable narrowed his eyes and strode towards this side. Su Wei's face was calm, but he showed a confused expression.
The constable was in his forties, strong and with a gloomy face. He looked like someone not to be trifled with. Su Wei guessed that he must be Wang Po's younger brother.
Wang Po's brother stared at Su Wei up and down before saying, "Have you heard any strange noises recently?"
"What's that strange noise?" Su Wei asked in confusion.
Wang Po's younger brother said, "She is from the Wang Li family."
He had a businesslike attitude. Su Wei thought about it carefully and shook his head: "No."
Wang Po's brother then said, "Ms. Wang Li is your neighbor. She hasn't left the house for so many days. Have you ever thought of going to see her?"
Su Wei: “No…”
Wang Po's younger brother "..."
He was a little impatient. He thought beautiful women were cunning, and someone like Su Wei looked restless at first glance.
"You have a bad relationship with Wang Li?"
"It's okay." Su Wei said, "It was fine at first, but I found out she was saying bad things about me behind my back, so I ignored her."
Su Wei muttered to Wang Po's brother, "Sir, she is really too much. After my mother-in-law died, I respected her as an elder. I didn't expect her to say that I was not decent behind my back. She also told Hu Wen that I liked him. How could I like Hu Wen?"
She became more and more excited as she spoke: "This is all slander..."
Wang Po's brother said impatiently, "Hu Wen? The one who found the body?"
"It was him. A few days ago, he came to me for no apparent reason and gave me a fish. He also said that I liked him, but I already had a husband, so why should I like him? Yesterday, he came again, gave me another fish, and ran away. I thought to myself, this is not okay. How can I take someone's things for free? So I went to his house and gave him twenty-one cents, just as if I were buying fish."
Wang Po's brother didn't hear anything wrong and glanced behind her: "Where's your husband?"
"My husband broke his leg not long ago, he's at home..."
Wang Po's younger brother strode into the room and saw Chen Yan sitting on the bed. Chen Yan's acting skills were better than Su Wei's. He looked at Su Wei and then at Wang Po's younger brother with a puzzled look.
"Madam, what happened?"
Su Wei got goosebumps when he was called "wife".
"I don't know..." Su Wei said innocently.
Wang Po's younger brother "..."
I've been questioning you for a long time, and you say you don't know?
At this time, another constable came in.
"Brother Li, what's going on?"
Wang Po's brother didn't say anything. He walked over, lifted the quilt and took a look at Chen Yan's legs. He was indeed seriously injured...
"What are you doing?" Su Wei ran over and stood in front of Shen Yan: "What's wrong with you?"
Wang Po's brother turned and left without answering.
