Chapter 56 Yue Yiyue: What kind of acting skills are needed to participate in a play? (Thinking)
Seeing that Yue Yiyue didn't reject her approach, Wu Zhen felt somewhat relieved that He Wu's matter hadn't affected them.
Although at most they only met once more than strangers.
"Can I join you?" Wu Zhen stood there hesitating for a long time, looking at Yue Yiyue sprawled on the sofa like a lazy bum.
"Join me?" Yue Yiyue lazily removed the towel covering her eyes. She glanced at Wu Zhen standing to the side, not understanding her motive for saying this.
Did they find out who did it and want to avenge their brother?
Although Wu Zhen had previously casually mentioned that her cousin had a good relationship with her father, it sounded like the other party had no ulterior motives.
But Yue Yiyue wouldn't be so foolish as to think that he should collect the body of a potential competitor who has died.
What exactly is Wu Zhen up to?
Under Yue Yiyue's gaze, Wu Zhen sighed: "My brother probably won't be coming back, but if that's the case, my father and I won't be able to explain ourselves. I want to try my best to at least collect my brother's remains and bring them back."
"And then there's Gu Nanqiu." Wu Zhen's eyes hardened as she said this: "Her sudden disappearance has everyone very concerned about her, and we hope she can come back soon."
"Moreover, I suspect it is He Wuxu's wish."
Now that Wu Zhen said it, it seems to be true. There are clues to why He Wu likes Gu Nanqiu.
Everything sounded so reasonable, and Wu Zhen's appearance was so coincidental.
Yue Yiyue sat there and pondered for a moment: "What evidence do you have? You brought it up, so you provide the evidence."
“A few days ago, I passed by He Wu’s room and heard some strange noises coming from inside. They weren’t loud, but they were very strange. I listened outside for a while and heard him say that once the deed was done, he would be able to bring the person back.”
Wu Zhen frowned, trying hard to recall what she had seen a few days ago: "I saw him post something on a dark forum. After he left, I went over to take a look. Someone was giving him advice, saying that he had found a suitable girlfriend using this method and now had more money than he could spend. He told He Wu not to worry, that God would grant him all his wishes."
————
Yue Yiyue went to look into it a while ago and found that there were quite a few rumors about the He siblings at school.
Her cousin, on the other hand, was quite different. He was always dressed in designer brands and was very flamboyant, so many people avoided him.
Most people say he's shameless and wants to take Wu Zhen's things.
Wu Zhen's father was also clueless. He chose to become a live-in son-in-law and treated his younger brother's son like a treasure. Anyone with eyes could see that he wanted to use his nephew to live off the extinction of the woman's family.
Wu Zhen is truly pitiful; she lost her mother at a very young age.
Looking at Wu Zhen, who was leading the way, Yue Yiyue asked curiously, "Are you really not concerned about your cousin's situation?"
"Isn't it good that he's dead? You'll be relieved then?"
Wu Zhen looked up at the sky, but her expression seemed to be looking at something else entirely: "You can't say that. He Wu and I have been together since we were little. Our relationship is complicated, and many things were not his choice."
In the end, just like the countless versions Yue Yiyue had heard, Wu Zhen always said the same thing: "He's a good younger brother, but I'm not a particularly good older sister."
Alright, I'll respect and offer my blessings.
Yue Yiyue didn't like getting involved in these kinds of household chores, since she didn't have a home of her own.
No, she's pregnant now.
"I understand, I spoke too much. How much further?"
They are on their way to Wu Zhen's house.
Wu Zhen brought this up half an hour ago.
Tell Yue Yiyue to go back with her and check He Wu's computer to see if they can find that forum.
Maybe we can find what she's looking for.
Yue Yiyue was about to refuse when the buzzing of her phone interrupted her. She took out her phone and looked at it.
After reading the message, Yue Yiyue suddenly changed his mind: "Okay, I'll go with you."
So they took a taxi and arrived at this small villa area.
Putting everything else aside, the air here is pretty good. Yue Yiyue took a deep breath and felt his lungs feel much more comfortable.
It felt like I had just been pressed and squeezed together by those eyeballs; it was a nightmare.
Yue Yiyue wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but the closer he got to the house, the stronger the indescribable smell of burning became.
But looking around, there was nothing burning.
Noticing Yue Yiyue's subtle movements, Wu Zhen took two breaths: "If I'm not mistaken, it's my father. He burned something."
“He’s getting on in years, and he can be a bit confused sometimes. Yue Yiyue, I’ll go check on him first. His shoes are by the door, so please change them yourself.” After saying that, she rushed into the house, leaving the door open for Yue Yiyue.
Watching the figure disappear from sight, Yue Yiyue quickly followed.
"You jinx! You killed your mother and your brother, and now you're back to kill me too?" A scolding voice came from inside the house. The voice was hoarse and strange, like a broken organ or dried cured meat.
It's not a pleasant sound at all.
"You jinx, did you kill your brother because you thought he was going to take a share of your things?"
“These things originally belonged to him. As for you, why are you eyeing our He family’s things? I’ve already said, what belongs to your mother is now mine, and what belongs to me belongs to the He family.”
"You're the outsider in this house, get out—"
A series of thuds came from the inner room, as if something heavy had been thrown out and hit something.
Just as Yue Yiyue was about to rush in and pull Wu Zhen out, she saw Wu Zhen walking out with her face covered.
There was a huge handprint on his face, and bruises on his hands as well.
Yue Yiyue stopped in her tracks. She silently looked at the half-closed door behind Wu Zhen, and the curtain inside the door with a small section burned. Next to it was a large puddle of water, which looked like Wu Zhen had just extinguished.
Wu Zhen shook her head at Yue Yiyue, forced a smile, and then closed the door behind her to block Yue Yiyue's view: "My dad has been in a bad mood these past two days because of my brother's matter. I'm sorry to have troubled you."
"Let's go upstairs first, my room is up there."
"Excuse me."
"Do you need help?" Yue Yiyue was still staring at the door behind Wu Zhen: "Your mother's things, unless she wrote a will specifying that they all go to your father."
“I’ve heard about your mother, Wu Yushan. She’s a very successful businesswoman. I believe she’s not so short-sighted as to let your incompetent father control anything.”
Wu Zhen's eyes flickered; she seemed surprised to hear her mother's name from Yue Yiyue's mouth.
After a long pause, she sighed again, not with resentment, but with a tone of resignation: "I only have one father..."
"If you change your mind, you can still tell me." Yue Yiyue left these words behind and then walked upstairs.
Looking at Yue Yiyue's expression, Wu Zhen was somewhat puzzled. She felt that Yue Yiyue seemed to have mentioned more than just this.
————
There are four rooms on the second floor. Yue Yiyue quickly looked them over. The largest room should be He Wu's, as he could see the clothes He Wu had worn a few days ago as soon as he came up.
Yue Yiyue couldn't tell who owned the two slightly smaller rooms next to each other, but he was certain that the small room in the corner belonged to Wu Zhen.
Yue Yiyue frowned, but remembering the message on her phone, she shut her mouth.
“The layout here is quite clear, so I won’t go into too much detail.” Wu Zhen pointed to the room: “Go on, the computer is over there. I’ll go get you some food.”
"Thanks."
After saying that, Yue Yiyue went into the room and turned on the computer.
As the bellows turned, the black screen began to flash blue light.
I opened my browser and checked my browsing history. Two familiar URLs that I had entered just a few days ago popped up.
What a perfect trap.
Yue Yiyue admired the things on the computer. Instead of clicking on the links, she took out her phone and sent four messages.
There seemed to be another heavy sound of something falling downstairs, and the smell of burning in the air grew stronger.
Yue Yiyue confirmed the last text message she received in her inbox. She felt somewhat relieved; the person who frequently sent harassing messages had once again sent her a useful message.
A few years ago, an electrical fire occurred in this area.
He clicked the mouse, and a cake image appeared on the screen. Yue Yiyue looked down at his phone, and sure enough, the signal had completely disappeared.
————
It seems the same as before, yet everything seems to have changed.
Yue Yiyue stood up and heard a voice that was all too familiar to her—Gu Nanqiu's, from next door.
"Yiyue, didn't you say you were going out? Why are you still here?"
Following the sound, Yue Yiyue pushed open the door to the side, based on the fragments of the novel he remembered.
The room was nicely decorated, but it was far inferior to theirs.
Behind the door, Gu Nanqiu was calling out to Yue Yiyue to Wu Zhen with a smile, handing her the bag in her hand and urging her to hurry up.
Wu Zhen looked at Gu Nanqiu's appearance and reached out to touch Gu Nanqiu's head, but the other party took a step back.
"This isn't right, Yiyue. We've only just started dating. I'm not comfortable with being too intimate. I'm sorry."
......
This scene was a bit strange, and Yue Yiyue was not quite sure what kind of play was being performed.
But she was certain that only Wu Zhen could see her.
She looked defiantly at Yue Yiyue standing at the door: "Look, as long as I become you, Gu Nanqiu will love me and be willing to stay here."
The lip movements were too fast for Yue Yiyue to see clearly, but she still made an angry face and glared fiercely at Wu Zhen.
Wu Zhen ignored her, holding her backpack. "I understand. I'll give you time to get used to it. Thank you for loving me. Wait for me to come back. It's not safe outside right now... If you go out..."
“I understand.” Gu Nanqiu considerately took a piece of clothing from the closet: “There are more and more rules lately, and I don’t really want to go out. I’m always worried about triggering something and then being chased by that box-headed guy again. You should go quickly.”
He then pushed the person out and closed the door.
The footsteps outside the door grew fainter and fainter until they disappeared.
Yue Yiyue stood in the corner, observing Gu Nanqiu and thinking about what the other party would do next.
Or how could she convey a message to Gu Nanqiu, telling him that she had arrived?
The next moment, Gu Nanqiu walked to the bedside, patted the bed, and then inexplicably turned around and pulled the curtains closed, turning off the lights in the room.
The entire room was plunged into darkness.
The creaking sound was the sound of Gu Nanqiu climbing into bed.
Yue Yiyue sighed and followed the other person's steps, climbing onto the small bed.
A slightly cold hand covered the back of Yue Yiyue's hand, then kneaded Yue Yiyue's fingertips, as if confirming something.
Yue Yiyue then realized that Gu Nanqiu knew he had arrived.
And somehow, I managed to run into her again.
