Chapter 94 Doubts
The floor lamp at the head of the bed emitted a dim light. A few messy pieces of clothing lay on the carpet, and a corner of the snow-white quilt had fallen to the ground from the side of the bed.
After the dust settled, the suite became quiet, with only the sound of the two people's shallow breathing.
A bony hand stretched out from the double bed and pushed the switch on the wall, and the light became brighter.
The glass vase on the bedside table reflected a cold luster, casting a blurry figure.
Chu Yanxing stood up as his slender feet touched the carpet and first opened the window for ventilation.
Picking up the white shirt on the ground, the scratches on the back, which gradually narrowed, were particularly glaring, indicating the fierceness of the battle just now.
A thin layer of sweat covered his body. Yu Che placed his arms over his eyelids. His stomach was churning and a wave of nausea rose in his throat, but he couldn't vomit anything out.
When the matter was over, he remembered that when he was dying in his previous life, he was surrounded and hunted by several major families. At that time, he was unwilling to give in and just wanted revenge.
But now, he felt an unprecedented humiliation and loss. The experiences during this period seemed like a superficial tour, without a trace of reality.
Lin Xingyan's death, his own imprisonment, the drug experiments, and that unspeakable entanglement just now...
Is all of this real? Or is it just a nightmare beyond imagination, and the sun will clear up when you wake up?
As he thought about this, the numbness in his body clearly told him the truth.
Yu Che felt hopeless. He pulled out the quilt from under him and slowly covered himself with it. After a pause, he reached out and pulled the quilt higher, leaving only his messy hair exposed.
Chu Yanxing fastened the last button, turned his head, and looked down at the tightly wrapped "cocoon" on the bed, his tone soft:
"You can rest in this bedroom from now on. It's more comfortable here than in the laboratory."
A breeze blew up, and the camphor trees outside the window swayed, refreshing the air indoors.
Yu Che did not respond, and Chu Yanxing did not leave. The mattress sank slightly, and the person standing by the bed sat back on the edge, observing quietly.
After a while, Yu Che pulled back the quilt to his chin, revealing a pair of red eyes filled with anger, resentment, confusion, and sorrow...
He said—
"Chu Yanxing, how have I offended you?"
Hearing the trembling of Yu Che's last tone, Chu Yanxing tilted his head slightly, his eyes intriguing:
"No, you're great, I like you."
"Like?" Yu Che let out a soft laugh, his gaze piercingly cold. Having lived two lives, he could only find one word to describe the person before him's unreasonable behavior.
"madman."
Chu Yanxing seemed to be in a good mood. He tapped his fingertips on the bed and said with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment."
This careless attitude once again irritated Yu Che's nerves, and the grievances that had been suppressed to the extreme erupted like a volcano.
He suddenly pulled up the quilt, covered his head, and curled up in the darkness, as if he could temporarily escape from reality and escape from this terrible demon.
Chu Yanxing only saw the surface of the quilt shaking, but he couldn't hear any whimpering. He must have been gritting his teeth to endure. He sighed softly and gently stroked her through the quilt.
The touch of the quilt paused, and the person inside continued to sob uncontrollably. After ten minutes, the muffled breathing sound became obvious.
Worried about the lack of oxygen after a long time, Chu Yanxing began to peel back the quilt bit by bit. Yu Che clutched the corner of the quilt tightly, but his strength was already exhausted.
Finally, the quilt was lifted to one side, revealing a red face, crying so hard that it was out of breath.
Chu Yanxing pursed his lips, leaned down, and forcibly pulled Yu Che, whose face was covered in tears, into his arms. He also patted his back, trying to calm him down.
The other person held his waist stubbornly, completely immersed in his own emotions, and his whole body was shaking violently.
Sniffing the familiar scent that came intermittently, their skins still fit together, but Yu Che felt a strong rejection in his mind. He burped and couldn't help but retching.
He was prepared for Chu Yanxing to push him away immediately, leaving him to fend for himself, which was exactly what he wanted. Unexpectedly, the other party still persisted in his posturing.
The two of them were only separated by thin clothing, and the muscle lines could be vaguely touched, and the body temperature of the other person was transmitted throughout the body.
Yu Che clutched the quilt tightly, enduring the pain until his fingertips turned white. Finally, helpless, he closed his eyes and bit down on his shirt-wrapped left shoulder.
Two rows of teeth pierced the skin, leaving a pink ring of saliva and blood thinned on the white cloth.
I originally just wanted to suppress the feeling of nausea, but the smell of blood mixed with my taste buds and irritated my throat, which had the opposite effect.
With a sudden burp, Yu Che could no longer control himself, and a large pool of yellow bile erupted from his mouth. The vomit instantly soaked Chu Yanxing's upper body, emitting a pungent, sour smell.
Fortunately, Yu Che had been surviving only on glucose and saline solution for the past week. His stomach was empty and he vomited only liquid.
After spitting, Yu Che exhaled, wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, raised his mocking eyes, as if to say "you deserve it".
Yu Che thought he would collapse and run to wash himself, or get so angry that he asked someone to punish him, but in reality—
Chu Yanxing had a cold face. He first picked up the quilt and simply wiped the front that was still dripping with water. Then he stood up, made an internal call, and asked the servant to come and replace the bedding with a new one.
Then, he picked up the weak Yu Che and walked slowly into the bathroom attached to the bedroom and placed him in the bathtub.
The bathroom also has a central constant temperature system, so Yu Che doesn't have to worry about getting wet and catching a cold.
Chu Yanxing stood in the shower room, took off his dirty clothes, turned on the shower and rinsed his whole body.
Although it was unexpected, Yu Che was half lying in the bathtub, with a disgusting smell in his mouth and a burning throat.
The sound of shower water came to my ears, and I looked at the empty dot in front of me with a gloomy expression.
I don’t know what I was thinking about, but it seemed like I was thinking about nothing. A drop of hot tear silently slid down from the corner of my eye again.
Chu Yanxing secretly observed Yu Che's condition, his eyes flashing slightly, revealing a look of heartache, and he speeded up his bath without leaving any trace.
A few minutes later, Chu Yan walked to the bathtub, clicked the button to turn on the water, tested the water temperature, took off Yu Che's clothes, and applied shower gel.
Scrubbing, rinsing, drying, taking care of everything inside and out. Yu Che just sat there, letting them do whatever they wanted, without any reaction.
"If you behave well, I can consider giving you Lin Xingyan's relics." Chu Yanxing suddenly opened his mouth.
Yu Che's eyelids trembled slightly, and gradually, light returned to his dark eyes. His tone was calm but tinged with sarcasm:
"Can I get out alive?"
After these words were spoken, Chu Yanxing pursed his lips and said nothing. He lowered his eyes, took out a wet towel, and rubbed his entire face, abruptly interrupting Yu Che's resentful expression.
After the towel left, Yu Che breathed a sigh of relief. The scene was truly horrifying. This kind of "considerateness" was something he had never experienced since he was old enough to understand. Not even his mother had ever been this kind.
He suddenly felt strange in his heart. He looked at Chu Yanxing scrutinizingly, frowning, and felt that the other party was a pervert.
After they were both completely clean, Chu Yanxing wrapped Yu Che in a large bath towel and carried him back to the new bed sheets.
The whole person felt refreshed and comfortable. Seeing Yu Che's unconsciously frowned brows quietly smoothed out, Chu Yanxing's eyes softened slightly, and a hint of satisfaction appeared in them.
With only a bath towel wrapped around his lower body, Chu Yanxing slowly walked to the wooden wardrobe, his eyes wandering among the many clothes.
Just as he was about to reach out to take it, he suddenly felt a gust of strong wind behind him. Chu Yanxing reacted very quickly and turned around abruptly.
A crisp cracking sound followed, and the vase that was originally on the bedside table hit the wardrobe, and the fragments were scattered all over the floor.
As soon as he turned around, he met Yu Che's hateful gaze. The two of them froze for a few seconds. Then Chu Yanxing slightly retracted his eyelashes, accurately avoided the broken glass shards, and came in front of Yu Che.
Without saying a word again, Chu Yanxing reached out and stroked Yu Che's cheek again and again. His eyes were calm, but revealed a morbid weirdness, as if he was treating a fragile porcelain doll.
Moreover, perhaps because of his ice spiritual roots, Chu Yanxing's body temperature was always low. Even after taking a hot bath, there was still a hint of coolness on his fingertips.
The drooping hair was still wet, and a few strands gathered into droplets, a few of which fell around Yu Che. The teeth marks on his left shoulder were bitten so hard that a circle of blood still oozed out.
"I want some water."
Yu Che narrowed his eyes and suddenly spoke, carefully observing the subtle changes in the other person's expression.
Chu Yanxing received the signal, his expression slightly stunned, he looked at Yu Che deeply, retracted his right hand, and went to the place where there was a kettle to pour water.
This scene was completely different from his previous out-of-control appearance. He was surprisingly obedient and didn't even pursue Yu Che's sneak attack.
Seeing this, Yu Che's breathing quickened.
He didn't understand why Chu Yanxing indulged him for no reason, but he vaguely grasped the key to his emotional changes. With a little manipulation, he might be able to escape from the sea of suffering.
As long as there is green mountain, there is no fear of running out of firewood. I will settle accounts with Chu Yanxing one by one then. Thinking of this, a trace of cruelty flashed in Yu Che's eyes.
Looking at the other person's back, he clenched his fists and hope rekindled in his heart.
…
At the same time, in a cafe outside the school.
Mu Feng was stirring the coffee in the cup, looking at the milky white color that was spreading out, absent-minded.
Opposite him was his cousin Li Luolan.
"Brother, your friend hasn't been to class for several days. He didn't show up even after the teacher called the roll."
Mu Feng's hand trembled, and the stirring spoon fell on the edge of the coffee cup, making a crisp clash sound.
"Are you talking about Yu Che?" A bad premonition came over Mu Feng, and he looked up suddenly.
"yes."
Li Luolan nodded blankly. She had originally just used this as a topic for idle chat, but she hadn't expected Mu Feng to react so violently.
Seeing Li Luolan's puzzled expression, Mu Feng took out his phone and dialed Yu Che's number.
"Hello, the number you dialed is turned off..."
Mu Feng called several times, but the result was the same. He frowned, remembering Yu Che's frantic look a few days ago when he rushed into his dormitory, grabbed him by the collar, and demanded to know Lin Xingyan's whereabouts...
Lin Xingyan!
Mu Feng took a deep breath. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He swallowed and found another phone number to call.
"Hello? Uncle Han? I'm Xiao Feng. I'd like to ask for a favor. I need to look up someone in the system named Lin Xingyan. She's about 17 to 20 years old and is a student at Huaxiu University..."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then the sound of typing on the keyboard was heard.
As the other party responded, Mu Feng's expression became more and more solemn, and finally he jumped up from his chair in shock:
"What? There's no such person!"
His voice rose uncontrollably, drawing the attention of the surrounding customers. He muttered in disbelief, "This is impossible! I clearly..."
Mu Feng suddenly recalled that Lin Xingyan had kidnapped his girlfriend and threatened him to perform a scene in front of Yu Che so that he would hand over the secret realm orb to her.
Yes, that person has always been in a high position and has a cold aura, a pressure so strong that she has no power to resist... How could she be an ordinary student?
Mu Feng sat back in his seat, forcing himself to calm down, his mind racing. If even the internal system couldn't find anything, then it could only mean that Lin Xingyan's identity was a forgery.
Moreover, the power behind the scenes that allowed them to evade Huaxiu University's strict admissions review must be extraordinary.
Could it be that she has someone in the upper echelons of the school? Mu Feng's expression changed drastically again.
Huaxiu University has the support of national power, but Lin Xingyan was able to interfere and forge a perfect identity. The strength of her background was far beyond his imagination.
No, no matter where this Lin Xingyan comes from or how big the secret is, he must investigate.
Yu Che is his brother, he can't just watch Yu Che get into trouble!
"Thank you, Uncle Han. Could you please help me research which cultivation families have the surname Lin?"
Mu Feng's eyes became firm, and he spoke in a deep voice into the phone.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I'll wait for your good news."
After hanging up the phone, Mu Feng frowned, realizing that behind Lin Xingyan, there was a huge conspiracy targeting Yu Che.
