He was lost in his mind
Late at midnight, the person in bed tossed and turned
Chao Rirou couldn't fall asleep because she kept thinking about Yue Lanxiu.
Fortunately, the bullet didn't hit his vital parts. Otherwise, she would be filled with guilt, pain, and heartbreak!
Uh, why is she sad?
He had saved her so many times, and this time he even sacrificed his own life to save her. If she wasn't heartbroken, would she still be a human being? A voice deep in her heart explained this.
I couldn't help but recall the dangerous moments I had experienced with him, and a warm and sweet feeling I had never experienced before came to my mind. It was faint, but so clear that it was undeniable.
Actually, he's a pretty good guy! Although he always looks unkempt, he's incredibly handsome when he's working hard! I always fall for him!
She felt relaxed with him, and even her worries vanished! Most importantly, she had never been so compatible with anyone else like him!
If it weren’t for Yue Lanjing, I might really like him!
Her mind became clearer and clearer. Chao Rirou simply got out of bed and walked towards Yue Lanxiu's room involuntarily to see if he could sleep well despite his injury.
There were voices coming from the corridor. Asahirou saw that his room door was open. She walked closer and could hear what the people inside were saying.
"I'm sorry, I didn't insert it properly, which caused your swelling. Does it hurt?" This was the voice of the female nurse who was found for Yue Lanxiu.
"I'm the one who should be sorry. I've been staring at you without your consent! But has anyone ever told you that once you look at you, you can't look away! And most importantly, I don't feel any pain at all looking at you! Even anesthetics don't work this well!"
The sound of rutting was unmistakably Yue Lanxiu's. Zhao Rirou's eyes rolled back. She was worried that his wounds might be too painful to sleep, but she was also just too full!
"Aren't you afraid that your girlfriend will be unhappy?"
"My girlfriend? Where can I get a girlfriend? But if you agree, I will have a girlfriend!"
"Don't tease me." The nurse's voice became coquettish and full of coquettishness. "Isn't that Miss Chanel your girlfriend?"
"Come on, she's my sister!"
"Sister? But you two don't look alike at all."
"We are a reconstituted family, only in name, no blood relationship!"
"How can she be called a sister if she's not related by blood? I think you must love her very much. I heard that you got injured to save her!"
"I do like her, but that's a brother-sister relationship. I've always treated her as my sister. Oh! How can I make you believe that I like someone like you who is gentle, considerate, and understanding?"
"Don't make fun of me anymore. I'm not going to chat with you anymore. If we continue, I won't be able to give you acupuncture properly. What if I make a mistake?"
"If chatting with beautiful women comes at a price, I'm going to get my left hand riddled with holes.
Just stab him to death! Chao Rirou cursed at the door.
"Wouldn't it be more uncomfortable if we just chatted all night and did nothing?" Asahiro appeared at the door with a gloomy face.
"It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" Yue Lanxiu was a little surprised to see her.
"I was woken up by a cat in heat!" Asarirou walked in with an expressionless face that made people afraid to mess with her.
Thinking that she was talking about him, Yue Lanxiu rolled his eyes at her.
Chao Rirou didn't bother with him for the moment and directed her stern gaze at the nurse, "What's going on? Don't you know how to give an IV or a needle? Look at what you did to my brother's hand!"
"It's okay..." Yue Lanxiu spoke for the little nurse who was so scared that she couldn't even speak, but was interrupted.
Asahirou didn't want to hear that at all. "Since you can't do anything, I'll have to ask you to leave! I'll have someone transfer the money to you for one night!"
"But..." The nurse was anxious when she heard she was going to leave. After all, the price was very good. And this man was so handsome! How could she miss him?
"Do you want me to repeat what I just said? Sure, but as a price, I won't pay you!" Asahiro saw through her thoughts.
As soon as she finished speaking, the young nurse slipped away, which was very tactful.
"See? Money is much more important than you."
Yue Lanxiu felt that her voice was neither masculine nor feminine.
"Thanks to my smart sister for saving me from the hands of that bad woman!" He sighed, leaning on the bed with his hands as a pillow.
"Who is your sister! I don't have a gangster brother like you! And you got it wrong. I rescued a woman from a scumbag!" She felt uncomfortable when she heard him call her sister.
"How am I a hooligan? I haven't even touched her, okay?" Yue Lanxiu excitedly sat up from the bed. What he wanted to say was that he came without even touching her.
"Yeah, his hands haven't even touched her yet, but his eyes have probably already stripped her naked!" Asahiro really wanted to poke out those eyes that were blaming her. Why did he blame her for ruining his good thing? But seeing his chest wrapped in layers of gauze, she had no choice but to endure it all.
"Put your hands out!"
"What?" Yue Lanxiu stretched out his hand, confused. Surely she wouldn't hit him if he looked at the girl a few more times? When had he ever needed her approval to look at a woman? But when it came to her, he was always obedient...
Asahirou held the hand he extended. Yue Lanxiu watched her next series of actions, his mouth trembling as he opened his mouth, "Are you going to give me an acupuncture injection or an IV drip?"
"No?" He was so frightened that he didn't have time to call for a stop, and the needle had already pierced his blood vessel easily and neatly.
"Ah—" Yue Lanxiu cried out in disbelief, fearing that her hand would be pierced by her! After all, this girl has always been wild.
"Does it hurt?" Asahirou asked while adjusting the drip rate.
Yue Lanxiu shook his head awkwardly. Not only did it not hurt, it seemed like he didn't feel anything at all! In fact, he was much more professional than the nurse just now!
"How can you do all this? Have you studied nursing?" Yue Lanxiu didn't remember that she had studied this, but then she remembered that she had a doctor friend, and maybe she learned more or less from that doctor.
"I guess so." She had been injured frequently before, so she had learned some medical skills. Thinking of her past self, a hint of resistance surfaced in her eyes.
She felt that she didn't want to go back to her previous life.
Gurgle, Yue Lanxiu's stomach suddenly made a sound, interrupting her thoughts.
"Hungry?"
"Yeah, I'm not used to the food here." Yue Lanxiu didn't ignore the worry in her eyes; it was rare to see her with such an expression. She had always been fearless, even in life-or-death situations, she had never seemed worried! What was going on?
Asahirou nodded in agreement, "I'm hungry too. I'll go cook some dishes!"
Yue Lanxiu's jaw dropped in surprise. "You want to cook?! You can cook?! Are you sure?!" Are you sure you won't burn the pan together? And blow up the kitchen?
"Well, what's so difficult about cooking? Tell me which dishes you don't like so I can avoid making bad choices!" She spoke to him so gently, which was rare.
She was so nice to him, it seemed a bit too much for him to question her cooking skills. He looked at the ceiling and listed the dishes that he particularly disliked.
"You wait!" Asahiro smiled sweetly at him and walked away.
When she reached the door, Yue Lanxiu suddenly stopped her. "Actually, I should say thank you. If it weren't for you, I'd be in such a mess right now! I chose to go at night. It's harder to see than during the day, so it's harder to discover the bomb in the house, and I'd be killed!" He could see that she felt guilty. She was being so kind to him because of his injury! But he didn't want her to feel any psychological burden, and what he said was the truth!
Chao Rirou didn't look back, and a smile from the bottom of her heart appeared on her lips. How could she not feel his comfort?
"You don't have to thank me. They probably don't want to kill you. The person they wanted to kill from the beginning to the end was me." So it was she who caused him to be injured.
"Let me make it clear first, if it's too bad, I won't eat it!" Yue Lanxiu changed the subject, trying to divert her heavy mood.
"Hmph! Don't let yourself get used to food cooked by others after eating this. I'd also like to make it clear that I'm not responsible!" As he said this, the footsteps faded away.
Yue Lanxiu's face was filled with an uncontrollable smile.
A warm atmosphere echoed between the two of them.
However, this atmosphere did not last long until Asahirou prepared the dish and brought it to him.
"What are these? Are you kidding me?" Yue Lanxiu stared at the dishes in front of him. Although they were not as black as he had imagined, they were colorful and fragrant, but they were all dishes he didn't like to eat! He really didn't like them!
"These are all very nutritious dishes. Since you don't eat them on weekdays, you must be lacking in this kind of nutrition. I think you should make up for it, so I decided to make these for you." Zhao Rirou said it as a matter of course, but Yue Lanxiu saw the mischief in her eyes.
"Thank you very much for thinking about me. I appreciate it!" Yue Lanxiu gritted his teeth. He couldn't eat these dishes even if he was beaten to death.
"Don't want to eat?" Zhao Rirou raised her eyebrows, her expression becoming a little more cunning and dangerous.
Yue Lanxiu's face was full of vigilance, knowing that she was about to attack again.
"I'll tell the kitchen to make these dishes for you over the next few days until you're willing to eat them."
Yue Lanxiu opened his mouth wide, unable to believe that the woman before him could be so ruthless! It was obvious that she wasn't just threatening with words, she actually did it!
"Oh, by the way, Mom just called me and asked if I knew where you were. She said she arranged a few blind dates for you! I know you hate blind dates, so I told Mom that you have someone you like and are pursuing them! Mom was so happy to hear that, so she naturally stopped bothering you to go on blind dates. But I suddenly felt that lying to Mom was wrong. She's obviously doing this for your own good, so you should just be obedient and go on the blind dates..."
Yue Lanxiu listened and nodded, then shook his head, and finally shouted in horror, "Eat, eat, eat! It's just the damn green peppers! Carrots! Celery... I'll eat them all! But we've got a deal, let mom think that I have someone I'm pursuing, and she'll definitely believe what you say!" He is fearless, but he is afraid of being forced to go on a blind date!
Although this little girl was most likely trying to scare him, and his mother hadn't made any calls, Ms. Ye was indeed constantly trying to get him to go on a blind date! He really needed this little girl's help!
"Then eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold!" Asahirou smiled triumphantly. She ate him till he was done!
As Yue Lanxiu picked up the chopsticks, Chao Rirou noticed that the hand holding the chopsticks was on an IV drip, which she found inappropriate. "No, it's best not to move the hand on the IV drip. Can you eat with your left hand?"
"Won't."
"So, do you eat with your right foot?"
"Won't!"
"Where's the left foot?"
"Can you?" Yue Lanxiu gritted his teeth.
A silver bell-like smile escaped from her mouth.
Yue Lanxiu was a little dazed. This wasn't the most beautiful smile he had ever seen, but it still captivated him.
"I thought you could do anything! Then let me feed you!" Asahirou was stunned when she said this.
"Ah?" Yue Lanxiu suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. How could this girl be so considerate?
Just when he wondered if she was going to feed him through his nostrils, a piece of green pepper was already brought to his mouth.
"Ah—" Asahirou sat down beside him and motioned for him to open his mouth. He was her savior, and since he was hungry and his hands were inconvenient, she should feed him.
Yue Lanxiu stared at the green pepper, not sure whether it was because he found it hard to swallow or because he was not used to her enthusiasm, or maybe it was both. In any case, his brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a mosquito.
"My hands are sore!" Chao Rirou reminded unhappily. You know, this is my first time serving someone! What the hell is that guy's expression? How dare he be so ungrateful!
"I think I'd better do it myself!" How could he dare to let her feed him? It would be so scary if the chopsticks accidentally pierced his throat!
"Hurry up, if you don't open your mouth I will be angry! When I get angry, but..." Before Asarirou finished speaking, he quickly opened his mouth and swallowed it, and his eyes seemed to say something else, it was very scary!
Asahirou kept a straight face but couldn't help laughing.
His expression looked like he was being asked to swallow dog shit, which made her angry and amused at the same time.
Yue Lanxiu's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had discovered a new world. He looked at Zhao Rirou in disbelief, then at the food on the plate, "Did I just eat green peppers?"
"Yes, it's green pepper, not dog shit!" Asahiro said confidently with a smile.
"But, why..." He was reluctant to admit that it was delicious! It was so delicious that it made him question his life!
"Is it delicious? Do you want to eat more?" Asahiro picked up another piece of food and put it to his mouth.
"I'm so hungry, just eat whatever you can!" He opened his mouth with an unnatural look on his face.
With every bite, the surprise in his eyes grew. He was truly impressed by the green pepper and carrot brother. Such a beautiful flavor was contained within him! And the one who released this beautiful flavor was this little girl! It was unbelievable. He couldn't help but look outside to see if the moon had turned square!
"Wow, wow, what are you thinking about? My hands are so sore!" Asahiro picked up another piece of celery and wanted him to taste it.
"Nothing," Yue Lanxiu said. His previous awkwardness had now turned into complete enjoyment. He was enjoying her rare enthusiasm, enjoying the time he had with her...
Wait, what did she just say? Yue Lanxiu suddenly shouted angrily, "Am I a dog?! Woohoo!"
Asahirou burst out laughing.
Seeing her smile, he could no longer be angry. Instead, he smiled too.
He wanted to protect this smile from the bottom of his heart.
"Have you guessed who ambushed us during the day?" Yue Lanxiu asked suddenly.
Asahirou put away her smile, her eyes turning cold as she nodded. "After all, there aren't many people who understand illusions! But is that really an illusion? I think it's more like a magic trick using some strange props!"
Yue Lanxiu nodded in agreement, "Their illusions are just a trick using projection tools, spiced up with some debilitating drugs!"
"The most important thing right now isn't what fighting method they used, but that old man Luosha went back on his word!"
"Yes." Yue Lanxiu pondered and said, "But it is also possible that Luosha is unaware of it."
"You mean the old man's apprentice took the initiative and wanted to kill me?"
"It's not impossible. Do you remember Sixteen saying that a woman named Tang Baimei wanted to kill you!" Yue Lanxiu wondered who this Tang Baimei was and why he couldn't find any information about her!
A knot seemed to form between Asahirou's brows, a knot that seemed hard to untie. "But I don't know anyone like that." She'd investigated, but couldn't find any such person. Why did that woman insist on killing Chanel? Mizuki Rei was also after Chanel, determined to kill her! What was the relationship between the two women?
And that Mu Sanlang! How could he team up with Shui Wulian's gang to ambush her! What exactly is his relationship with Shui Wulian? How did he and Shui Wulian manage to collude with each other?
There was no way to interrogate Mu Sanlang now, because that bastard had been rescued when she and Yue Lanxiu went out to investigate. As for who that person was, she thought it must be Shui Wulian's gang!
At this time, Yue Lanxiu burped happily.
"Is it delicious?" Asarirou asked with a smile, looking at the empty plates.
Yue Lanxiu suddenly closed his eyes and clasped his hands together in a serious manner, saying, "Thank you so much! You let me know that there are such delicious foods in this world!"
Asahirou was amused by his expression. She stood up to clear the dishes and asked, "Do you want to eat more?"
"I'll take care of you from now on!" he said shamelessly.
"That's a good thought! But if you listen to me in the future, I can consider cooking for you again." Chao Rirou made a wishful plan.
"Girl, your scale is broken. It's not fair at all. You get all the benefits!" Yue Lanxiu said while lying on the bed with one hand supporting his head.
"Hmph! If you don't accept it, then forget it!" Asahiro picked up the dishes and walked out.
Yue Lanxiu suddenly sat up and stopped her as she walked to the door, "Promise me not to act on my own, and I'll obey you in everything else!"
She didn't know if it was because his voice was unusually gentle, or his eyes were unusually sincere, or maybe his promise was too tempting, but she felt her heartbeat a little abnormal, and nodded without thinking.
She then left in a hurry, so Yue Lanxiu didn't notice the subtle shyness in her eyes.
At two o'clock in the morning, the eerie sound of piano rang out in the silence.
Asahiro opened her eyes, and a sharp light shone from them.
Just as she was wondering who was doing this in the middle of the night, she heard countless footsteps approaching and quickly got up.
Just as I put on my clothes, several people broke in with long knives.
Those who rushed in were all tall and strong figures. They ran straight to the bed, raised the knives in their hands high and slashed at the bed.
In the darkness, there was a flash of swords and sabers.
Asahirou hid behind the door and saw everything clearly. She was not even given time to breathe.
The men soon discovered that there was no one on the bed and immediately began searching the room.
It was only a matter of time before they discovered her, so she chose to take the initiative, confident that she could wipe them out one by one.
There was a leader among the group, and Asahirou quickly captured him, but was surprised to find that the man was Shimizu.
"Why is it you?" Chao Rirou didn't believe that this man would betray her!
"Kill Chanel..." Qingshui had no expression on his face, and his eyes were strange and lifeless.
Asahirou sensed something was wrong and observed his expression while dodging the attacks of the others. "Qingshui, what's wrong with you?"
"Kill Chanel..." Shimizu only said this, like a slogan.
Asahirou felt like he had lost his mind.
Not only him, but also his men were like this. Everyone had the same expression, muttering the same words, "Kill Chanel!"
She didn't know what to do now! She could beat them, but she couldn't hurt them as they were lost and their minds were being manipulated! And they were chasing her, trying to kill her!
Shui Wulian—it turns out she’s not an easy person to deal with!
These people are most likely poisoned by her strange poison!
Now, let's go check on Yue Lanxiu first. He might have been attacked as well.
But when Chao Rirou ran to Yue Lanxiu's room, she found him gone. Had he been attacked? But there were no signs of a fight in the room.
Where did he go? Asahirou didn't have time to guess now, because Qingshui's gang kept circling around her.
She wanted to knock them out, but she found that they would soon regain consciousness after fainting! For the first time, she was completely impressed by Shui Wulian's use of poison!
The immediate goal was to find the person who played the piano. Asahirou had a feeling that this matter was closely related to that person.
There is a dark mountain not far from here, and the sound of the piano comes from there.
Asahirou quickly followed the sound.
A villa was built in front of the mountain. There was a garden in front of the villa. In the pavilion of the garden, a young woman was playing the piano attentively.
The piano music is beautiful, but the person is more beautiful.
On both sides of the stone path under the pavilion stood a row of tall men in black clothes, who were obviously thugs or bodyguards.
The music stopped, and the woman stood up and walked to the top of the pavilion's stone steps. She looked at the person slowly approaching from the bottom of the stone path and snorted with disdain. "Senior Sister said you could make it this far, but I didn't believe it. It seems I really underestimated you! But Senior Sister also said that you can only go this far!"
"Your senior sister is wrong this time!" Chao Rirou said with a smile. There was no fear in her eyes. Instead, her arrogant look made people respect her.
It was indeed Sixteen and the others! She was now at least certain that Shui Wulian was in cahoots with them.
There's another person hiding in a nearby tree, probably in the same group as Sixteen. Don't think you didn't notice him just because you didn't look at him!
She looked behind her, at Qingshui's group, lying unconscious on the ground. Could it be that the piano music was controlling them? Did they stop when the music stopped?
"Oh, let's try it then!" Sixteen fiddled with her cell phone, and the sound of the piano immediately rang out from the phone, the same as the one she had just played.
The reason why she stopped playing herself was because she wanted to see with her own eyes how this proud woman died at her feet.
"Kill Chanel!" she ordered the men around her.
The men glared fiercely and pounced on Asahiro like wild beasts.
The group of people led by Qingshui who had fallen down also woke up with the music and slashed at Asahirou with knives.
Victory against hundreds of enemies alone was simply impossible. Chao Rirou hadn't considered defeating them; her goal was to break through the encirclement and capture Sixteen! As the saying goes, to capture the thief, you must first capture the leader!
This was not a difficult task for her. After a while, she broke through the blockade on one side, rushed out of danger, and attacked Sixteen directly.
Sixteen saw this, her eyes filled with disbelief, not surprise, but calculation and viciousness. She whispered, "Chanel, you can come and catch me! But before you even get close to me, you'll be blown up! The stone steps are covered in explosives. If you get there, Fifteen will immediately detonate them! I don't believe I won't be able to kill you then!"
Just as Chanel was about to reach the bomb area, Sixteen's triumphant smile was revealed, but someone flew in from the sky.
The man kicked Asahiro to the ground quickly, accurately and steadily!
Chao Rirou looked at the person who kicked her in disbelief, and the surprise in her eyes suddenly spread, "Hey Yue Lanxiu, what are you doing!" Why would he attack her!
"Kill Chanel!" Yue Lanxiu said expressionlessly.
Staring at him, his words and actions mirrored those of the people around her who had attacked her, Asahirou's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this guy had also been tricked, his mind lost? Had he also been manipulated?
She had been wondering where he was, and she never imagined that he would appear in this way.
