Yandere is contagious
For Shen Xiuyan, who had been reborn twice and retained his memories, Xie Chi's residence was an intimately familiar place to him.
There was just one thing he couldn't quite figure out.
Has Yan Kui gone mad?
He found it amusing, so he opened his phone and, relying on his memory, made a call to someone.
The neighborhood where Xie Chi was temporarily staying wasn't very well managed, so Shen Xiuyan easily found his place. He then knocked on the door of his neighbor, who worked from home most of the year, and sincerely told him his request.
“My brother-in-law lives next door. He hasn’t been home for several days. I knocked on the door just now but no one answered. My sister is very worried and afraid something might have happened. Can I use your balcony to climb over and check on him?”
The neighbor bumped into Xie Chi on his way home in the morning. Knowing that someone was home and that he had brought a young and pretty girl with him, the neighbor immediately realized what was going on and kindly pulled him inside.
Shen Xiuyan didn't expect things to go so smoothly this time. In the past, he would have had to come up with more reasons, but now the other party was even more anxious than him.
"Be careful, this is the fifteenth floor after all." The neighbor also regretted agreeing to this for the sake of gossip; what if someone fell? How would he be responsible?
"It's nothing, I'm from the police academy." Shen Xiuyan lied without batting an eye, while holding onto the railing and skillfully jumping onto the balcony next door.
"Go for it!" The neighbor, always eager for a good show, encouraged him to catch his wife cheating.
Shen Xiuyan then understood where his enthusiasm came from, and finding it amusing, he pushed open the French window.
As soon as the door opened, the quiet atmosphere inside seemed to be torn open. Yan Kui, with her hair disheveled, gripped a kitchen knife tightly. She was originally pointing it at Xie Chi, but then suddenly turned it towards him. When she saw it was him, she opened her mouth in surprise. In the end, she turned the knife back to Xie Chi, as if she was about to rush forward and chop him up at any moment.
Shen Xiuyan did not expect such a scene inside, so Yan Kui risked following Xie Chi, was she preparing to perish together with him?
"Aoi?"
Shen Xiuyan walked forward calmly. Yan Kui was already trembling, and when she heard his voice, her body shuddered even more.
He confirmed that she was unharmed, then turned to look at Xie Chi, who was in shock.
How could it be him?
"I'm sorry to have troubled you," Shen Xiuyan said apologetically. "My sister has had some mental issues since she was little. She was fine as long as someone was looking after her, but you actually took her away by yourself."
Upon hearing this, Yan Kui's fear of being killed was reduced by half, and instead turned into anger, making her want to kick the figure in front of her.
"I'm really sorry." Shen Xiuyan reached out his hand. Xie Chi was in a daze and was about to shake it when, the moment he touched him, the other man suddenly laughed and flipped him to the ground.
His back throbbed with excruciating pain in that instant. Before he could even retaliate, his opponent, like a desperate criminal, slammed his knee into his jaw, making a clear cracking sound. The pain was so intense that he couldn't think straight.
Shen Xiuyan's movements were clean and his actions extremely ruthless, making him seem like a completely different person from the polite and refined young man he had been before.
Yan Kui listened blankly to Xie Chi's screams. Just five minutes ago, this man had mocked her naivety and poured out the glass of water she had drugged right in front of her.
Now, his profound and confident demeanor has been shattered by the simplest punches and kicks. It has to be said that all the schemes and calculations are not as satisfying as giving him a good beating.
Amid the one-sided beating, Yan Kui wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kick Shen Xiuyan a couple more times, but after glancing at the back of Shen Xiuyan's head, she held back.
If he beats her up too, that would be the end of it, since Shen Xiuyan is a madman who is capable of anything.
Although she knew that the person in front of her was a ruthless character with no bottom line, she didn't know that he would actually fight.
After all, he was a model student in the teacher's eyes, never had any trouble, and now he was so skilled at fighting. It's probably not possible to do that just by relying on the fighting techniques the teacher taught him.
So there are probably many things she doesn't know.
Just then, a knock sounded on the door. Yan Kui subconsciously walked over and saw that Shen Xiuyan showed no sign of stopping. She hesitated whether to call out to him. At this moment, Shen Xiuyan stood up, stepped on Xie Chi, who was about to faint, with his right foot, and gestured for her to open the door.
Yan Kui breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door, and saw a woman with an angry face and smart clothes.
Although she had only met this woman twice, she felt completely at ease with her.
Xie Chi's wife.
When the woman saw Yan Kui, she sneered and raised her hand to hit him, but Yan Kui grabbed her wrist and glared back at her with an unfriendly expression.
Xie Chi is a grown man, so why should she be afraid of him? How could she possibly be afraid of a frail woman?
"Let me go, you shameless bastard!" The woman was furious. "Where is that Xie guy? Tell him to get out here!"
Yan Kui saw that her neighbor's door was slightly ajar and wanted to share the joy with them; Xie Chi's beating shouldn't be her sole source of happiness.
She stepped aside and nodded in that direction with her chin, "That's the one lying on the ground."
The woman was initially furious, but when she saw Xie Chi's bruised and swollen face, she softened. She glared at Shen Xiuyan, who was straightening his clothes, and shouted angrily, "Who are you people? What right do you have to hit him!"
"I called you." Shen Xiuyan stepped over Xie Chi, a hint of malice in his smile. "Your husband tricked my sister into coming home, so can't I give him a beating?"
“He’s not that kind of person!” The woman clearly didn’t believe his words. She broke free from Yan Kui’s hand and ran to Xie Chi’s side, who was lying down, to check on him with concern.
Seeing Xie Chi beaten beyond recognition, the woman was about to retaliate when she was distracted by the phone that Shen Xiuyan handed her.
"Look, what honest man would prepare a second cell phone?"
The logic of this statement is actually untenable, but for Shen Xiuyan, who has gone through the process three times, he will use any usable props and save time as much as possible.
As expected, the woman's attention was drawn to the completely unfamiliar phone. After throwing the phone to her, Shen Xiuyan didn't give her a chance to react and turned to leave.
Yan Kui was still watching the show when Shen Xiuyan passed by her, grabbed her wrist, pulled her forward, and brought her back to her senses.
She stumbled several steps before catching up with him, her earlier joy replaced by worry and fear.
Although she had decided to live a life of unbridled courage, Shen Xiuyan considered half of her cause of death, and the unspeakable images that flashed through her mind reminded her that some things had undergone a qualitative change.
"If you're afraid of me, why didn't you run away just now?" Shen Xiuyan pressed the button for the first floor, watched the elevator doors close, and then shook off Yan Kui's hand.
Yan Kui was a little stunned by his question. Her brain had just shut down, and she hadn't even thought of running away.
She looked at Shen Xiuyan, who was raising his eyebrows and waiting for her answer.
"I……"
"Don't tell me you trust me more." Shen Xiuyan leaned closer to her, listening to her sudden, flustered breathing, and laughed sarcastically. "Little sister, have you forgotten who I am?"
Is he a fake brother of unknown origin, a liar full of lies, or someone who wants to take everything away from her?
Yan Kui mustered her courage, gritted her teeth, and looked him straight in the eye. "You can fool your mother, but you can't fool me."
As if he had heard something amusing, Shen Xiuyan pointed to the elevator buttons behind him and asked, "Do you need me to press the 15th floor for you?"
Yan Kui was so angry that her lungs ached, but she really couldn't find a way to refute him, since she had indeed brought about her own demise.
"You wait!"
She uttered this closing remark that only someone who has lost an argument would use, and dashed out in one stride as the elevator doors opened.
Shen Xiuyan turned around and looked at the floor display screen, where a large number, 5, was displayed.
He wanted to roll his eyes, but then he found it funny, and in the end it turned into a monologue.
"Wait my ass."
After rushing out of the elevator, Yan Kui realized something was wrong.
Fortunately, the floor she came out of wasn't too high. She pushed open the door at the bottom of the stairs and slowly descended.
If you walk too fast, you might run into Shen Xiuyan, which would be truly embarrassing.
After she reluctantly went downstairs and didn't see any trace of him, she finally felt relieved and quickly left.
However, she wasn't completely at ease. She thought she had calmed down, but unexpectedly, Xie Chi killed her once, and she was also saved by Shen Xiuyan, who had deliberately avoided her.
With so many things piling up in front of her, she really didn't want to go home.
Remembering the luggage she had asked Yang Tao to keep, Yan Kui hesitated for a while before deciding to stay outside for the time being.
She hadn't even been free for two days when her mother called.
"Aoi, where are you now?"
Zhao Shuyi looked at the spending records sent by her secretary, her gaze lingering for a moment on the rows of luxury goods, her brows furrowing slightly, but she quickly looked away.
While listening casually to Yan Kui's carefully prepared lies on the phone, she texted her secretary, "Send me Xiu Yan's too."
"That's how it is. I had a fight with him, so I'm staying at a classmate's house now."
Holding a tablet computer, Zhao Shuyi stood on the second floor, looking at the empty house, and began to reflect on whether she had given them too much freedom.
Are you sure you two were just arguing?
Yan Kui, who was lying on the hotel bed looking at a picture book, was taken aback by her question.
No... what else?
Could it be that Mom knew about my previous two lives?! That's impossible!
Yan Kui was so startled that she sat up abruptly. Just as she was about to organize her thoughts, she heard her mother say the next sentence.
"But your brother isn't home either."
Is he not home?
Yan Kui was stunned again. In the past two days, she had carefully sorted out all these messy things, writing and drawing all the changes in the first and second lives. Based on the incident of saving her a few days ago, she also confirmed that Shen Xiuyan was now a person with memories of the past.
However, she still couldn't figure out some things about her second life. Some changes seemed to be related to Shen Xiuyan, but she didn't understand his reasons for doing so.
He seemed to be trying to drive himself crazy. If he let himself sink into the doctor's lies, wouldn't he be able to easily achieve his goal?
“Xiao Zhou said your brother hasn’t been home for two days. At least you knew to send me a message using your bank card. There’s no trace of your brother at all.”
Zhao Shuyi glanced at the impeccably clean spending records, which even surprised her secretary, and sighed.
