Chapter 498 I and Eleven Others Fight for My Lover 18
When Qi Sichen woke up, he found himself sitting on a bench outside the night market. The hustle and bustle around him had dissipated, and the bustle of the night market was replaced by the tranquility of the early morning.
The sanitation workers were busy on the street, sweeping the garbage on the ground rhythmically with the brooms in their hands, making a rustling sound.
Shen Xinran stayed beside him quietly, holding the leftover snack packaging from last night in her hand.
An old woman slowly walked over and asked Shen Xinran, "Little girl, do you still want the bottle in your hand?"
Shen Xinran shook her head subconsciously and handed the empty plastic bottle to the old woman.
The old woman took the bottle with a smile and skillfully threw it into her snakeskin pocket. Then she walked along the snack street, looking for empty bottles and paper boxes.
Shen Xinran stared at the old woman's back as she left, without blinking for a long time, as if in a daze.
Qi Sichen stood up and said with a faint smile: "It's still early, let's have breakfast before going back!"
Shen Xinran finally came back to his senses, "Okay."
The morning air was filled with a thin layer of mist, bringing a hint of chill.
Qi Sichen took off his coat and put it on Shen Xinran, "It's a bit cold, don't catch a cold."
Shen Xinran smiled and said, "Thank you."
"Then let's go." Qi Sichen subconsciously took Shen Xinran's hand and led her through the snack street towards a residential building.
Shen Xinran's gaze fell on Qi Sichen's hand wrapped in warmth, and an indescribable feeling surged in her heart, because this intimate action made her feel both familiar and unfamiliar.
Hidden downstairs of a residential building is a steamed bun shop that exudes an enticing aroma. Although it is just dawn, there is already a long queue outside the door, all of whom are nearby residents.
Qi Sichen stood at the back of the line. When it was his turn, he smiled and said to the boss, "I want four braised pork buns, two of them served separately, and two cups of soy milk."
The boss looked up and saw Qi Sichen. He was stunned for a moment, then a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "So it's you. You haven't bought our buns in many years."
Qi Sichen smiled and explained, "I went to study in another city before and just came back to work."
The boss deftly packed the buns two by two into paper bags, picked up a braised egg, and handed it to Qi Sichen, "This is for you."
Qi Sichen took the braised egg and said gratefully, "Thank you, boss."
The boss looked at Qi Sichen, shook his head, and said with emotion: "You have lost a lot of weight than before."
Qi Sichen took out his phone to pay, "I was under too much pressure for a while, and I lost weight without realizing it."
After saying that, he walked to the side and gave the window to the customers who were still queuing.
Shen Xinran took the bun from Qi Sichen and asked curiously, "Were you fat before?"
Qi Sichen nodded, "A little bit."
Shen Xinran took a bite of the bun, and his eyes lit up instantly, "This bun is so delicious."
Qi Sichen smiled and said, "Their buns are freshly made every day. I knew you would like them."
Shen Xinran took another bite and then began to frown, "But I always feel that this taste is so familiar, I think I have eaten it before."
Qi Sichen lowered his head, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He ate the buns and did not answer.
Qi Sichen finished the bun in his hand, and then looked at Shen Xinran, "You've been staying up late lately, and your body can't take it. Do you want to take a break for a while?"
Shen Xinran watched as her secondary personalities disappeared one after another. Her heart felt like it was being sharpened by a blunt knife, a painful and long process.
She thought about it and realized that according to the timeline, the next secondary personality would be Zhou Yaoqi, who was not dangerous.
So she nodded, "Okay."
…
As night falls, the room is shrouded in a quiet darkness. Only the moonlight outside the window shines through the gaps in the curtains, casting mottled light and shadows.
Shen Xinran was immersed in a dream, and in a daze, she suddenly felt a strong gaze fixed on her.
She suddenly opened her eyes and saw Qi Sichen standing beside her bed, staring at her with deep eyes.
But Shen Xinran immediately realized that the person standing beside her bed was not Qi Sichen himself.
Her heart tightened, and she tentatively called out, "Zhou Yaoqi?"
The figure beside the bed slowly reached out his hand and gently stroked Shen Xinran's cheek, complaining to himself, "Junior Sister can't even recognize me. It really makes me sad."
This familiar name made Shen Xinran's eyes widen instantly, and there was a hint of disbelief in her voice, "Hu Changfeng, why is it you? Where is Zhou Yaoqi!"
Hu Changfeng curled his lips and said lightly, "You are talking about him, I have already killed him."
Shen Xinran's expression froze instantly, "How could you kill him!"
Hu Changfeng looked into Shen Xinran's eyes and said with a smile: "Hasn't Junior Sister been persuading us to give up? I'm helping you too!"
Shen Xinran shook her head repeatedly, tears silently sliding down her face. She knew that Hu Changfeng was right, but she still couldn't help feeling sad.
"I'm not like those idiots who gave up just because of a few words from Junior Sister." Hu Changfeng leaned in front of Shen Xinran, his eyes flashing with an almost fanatical light. "As long as I seize control of this body, I will be the one with Junior Sister."
Shen Xinran felt a chill running down her spine, and she shrieked, "Stay away from me!"
Hu Changfeng seemed not to hear her refusal. He continued, "Junior Sister, you haven't seen me for so long, don't you miss me? Could it be that you've fallen in love with someone else?"
"Was it Sima Yi or Zhuang Yan?" Hu Changfeng stared into Shen Xinran's eyes and smiled, "It doesn't matter. I killed them too."
With each name Hu Changfeng mentioned, Shen Xinran became more afraid. Her face turned pale and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Hu Changfeng reached out his hand and wiped the tears from the corners of Shen Xinran's eyes. "Only Yue Minglei has some ability, but don't worry, little senior sister, he won't be able to hold on for much longer."
Shen Xinran kept backing away, her voice filled with despair, "But you only scare me like this!"
Hu Changfeng approached, his voice low and full of temptation, "Little Senior Sister, don't be afraid of me. I love you too much. I want to be with you. What's wrong with me?"
After saying that, he gently patted Shen Xinran's head with his hand and said tenderly, "Go to sleep, little sister. I'll watch over you."
Shen Xinran resolutely turned her head to the side, avoiding his touch, "Don't touch me."
Hu Changfeng's eyes flashed with hurt, but it was quickly replaced by a twisted logic. "You created me, you brought me into this world, how could you reject me!"
Shen Xinran looked at Hu Changfeng with a puzzled look in her eyes. She opened her mouth and wanted to ask Hu Changfeng what he meant.
Hu Changfeng smiled again and said, "If Junior Sister can't sleep, we can do other things."
He climbed onto the bed and lay down beside Shen Xinran. Regardless of her objections, he hugged Shen Xinran's waist. "Junior Sister, I missed you so much."
Shen Xinran took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "Take your hand off my waist."
Hu Changfeng leaned close to Shen Xinran's ear, his voice low and seductive, "But I haven't seen Senior Sister for a long time. I wish I could be with her every moment."
Shen Xinran felt his breath enveloping her whole body, and she could only pretend to be tough and say: "Sleep!"
Shen Xinran closed his eyes first and told himself in his heart, it’s okay, it’s okay, when the day breaks, this vixen will leave.
