Chapter 5

After a while, Wang Chenying heard soft footsteps at the door. She was unsure if it was Yan Yu, so she deliberately raised her voice, pretending to be a petulant little girl, "Yan Si, if you don't come to coax me soon, I won't pay attention to you anymore. Hmph!" She feigned bravado, but inside she was very scared.

Let me think. Yan Yu picked up a bowl she had washed, examining the patterns on it closely. On the 18th of last month, it was cloudy turning to light rain, with fog in the morning and evening. Just look at Qi Yufeng's appearance, it resembles a thousand-year-old female ghost pursuing her past love debts.

Jing Miyu woke up in a messy room, and upon opening her eyes, she saw a pale yellow standing reading lamp

Sun Ran looked at her, her bright red makeup contrasting with her distressed expression, and decided to share his pork meatballs with her, saying, "You need to watch your diet these days; you can only eat pork."

The braided man is right, Yan Yu is too dangerous

Jing Miyu lay back on the bed, reminiscing about the scene at Ju Bei. She could not think of anyone who had touched that glass of lemonade. During this year in Bei Xiu, apart from breaking up nine times, she had remained well-behaved.

"While my mother was busy reminding me, she ended up getting caught herself." As Sun Ran mocked her, he reached over and pulled the blanket back over her, "There is no heating here."

Truth and falsehood are but a matter of words

Yan Yu walked into the kitchen, leaning against the other side in the same manner as she did. "It is said that Qi Yufeng has a red birthmark, is that you?"

She was sad, and the pot of clear soup with two floating vegetable leaves made her even sadder

She turned her head and glanced back

There is no time to hide, the lights come on

"What kind of joke is this?" She really laughed

Does Sun Ran have any unspeakable habits?

He innocently said, "I thought I was your savior"

She suddenly felt a sense of unease. When she looked up, the aluminum frame of the cabinet reflected half of Yan Yu's face. She averted her gaze and lowered her head

After the hot pot, Sun Ran poured the noodles and pork balls into the hot pot, saying, "This bowl of noodles is for you"

After much effort, a fresh shrimp was finally caught. Sun Ran placed her chopsticks across it and said, "You are allergic; Li Yuanbai said you cannot eat shrimp"

She pressed her ear against the door and listened for a few seconds, but there was no sound inside. She knelt down, lay flat on the ground, and through the ten-centimeter gap at the bottom of the door, she saw a woman sitting at an awkward angle.

"It counts as such." Yan Yu held a pair of chopsticks in her left hand and took a light bite of the fresh shrimp

Unexpectedly, I bumped into the back of the sofa and, moreover, grabbed hold of a person's head

"It is hunger and cold." She said somewhat aggrievedly, her tone softening, "Mr. Yan, I am very grateful that you saved me today, and I would never wish to be your enemy. Qi Yufeng's mole has nothing to do with me, truly."

The teasing voice of Yan Yu rang out, "How are you going to ignore me?"

She hid behind the sofa back, glanced at him, then jumped into the room with two steps combined into one, quickly closing the door.

The amount of blood on the ground is not much, and the wound should not be deep. Yan Yu replied, "Alright"

Yan Yu released the bowl from her hands. Just as her exclamation was about to escape, he caught it again. He set the bowl down and said, "So, can I understand that this expression is called desire?"

Makeup done, Sun Ran has returned

He introduced to Jing Miyu: "Yan Si saved you. It was fortunate that he was at Ju Bei at that time, otherwise how could I have arrived in time."

You rest for now, I will go to the supermarket to buy some things, and tonight we will have hot pot at my place. He picked up his wallet, closed the door for her, and went out

What a ridiculous metaphor this is. In my lifetime, two men have described her as a female ghost, and unfortunately, they are both in this room now. "Mr. Yan, when you snatched that shrimp, I looked at you in the same way." Yet he still cruelly ate that shrimp

Therefore, she simply chose to escape by urinating.

Regardless of whether the woman inside has been picked up before, she must not be placed in danger again

When Yan Yu picked up the cola bottle, her gaze met his

She turned over and caught sight of the boxing gloves that Sun Ran had dropped by the bedside. The belongings of a chick always provide a sense of security

Yan Yu said: "Miss Jing, have we met somewhere before?"

Feeling completely awake, I can no longer lie down

Sun Ran said: "I have checked, but there are many people in the hall, which obscures many details and makes it difficult to see clearly"

Jing Miyu chewed on the pork meatball while secretly observing Yan Yu

She avoided the bloodstains and slowly walked towards the compartment

Wang Chengying entered the bathroom

If Qi Yufeng knew that paying a huge compensation could not rekindle the old feelings, how much he would suffer a loss He smirked, the previous gentleness instantly vanished

Jing Miyu immediately adjusted her expression, and then remembered that she was currently bare-faced. She had inner double eyelids, and her eyes appeared smaller after removing her makeup. However, she was not one to lose her composure; despite the absence of eye makeup, she still wore a smile. "Hello"

Or perhaps it should be said that one is most beautiful when laughing. Just like the smile she displayed moments ago without any makeup, when the long curve of her lips straightened out, it appeared exceptionally relaxed.

I am merely an ordinary friend of his. Moreover, I had no knowledge of the matter regarding his payment of compensation. When we met, Qi Yufeng did not say a word.

Wang Chengying was just feeling unhappy. Whenever she interacted with Yan Yu, her mood was always low, yet she could not pinpoint the source of her dissatisfaction. He admitted to pursuing her, which made her unhappy. However, she felt the same way when he denied it before.

She turned away with an air of nonchalance

She cleared her throat, lifted the blanket, and sat up

Sun Ran picked up the medical record and explained: "You were affected by anesthetics; once the effects wear off, you will be fine. However, you experienced an allergic reaction, which is why you have been lying down for a bit longer."

She turned around and entered the bathroom, closing the door

He poured a glass of cola for Sun Ran and then asked, "Miss Jing, would you like some?"

Wang Chengying quickly notified Yan Yu using her mobile phone. She did not dare to leave this place. She had heard from her classmates that there are individuals who specifically molest women who are unconscious in entertainment venues, a practice referred to as "picking up corpses"

Although Sun Ran's house does not contain anything of significant value, what does it mean to allow Yan Yu to come and go freely like this? Can't this little chick have a bit of vigilance?

Her voice was hoarse, and she wanted to respond but could not make a sound

Yan Yu smirked and said nothing, returning to the sofa.

After leaving the room, she searched the wall for a long time but could not find the switch for the living room light. Using the light from the room, she located the bathroom and made her way there in the dark

She softly asked, "Hey, are you okay?"

Li Yuanbai has come. Li Yuanbai is a friend of Sun Ran and a professional doctor. When Sun Ran participates in competitions, he occasionally gets injured, and Li Yuanbai becomes his family doctor

Petal-like eyes, long sword-like eyebrows, born to attract bees and butterflies. She has seen him several times, and he possesses various temperaments: arrogant, despondent, frivolous, and now unexpectedly gentle. She seems to be deeply trapped in a fog, each time on the verge of emerging, yet always returning to the starting point

She was choked for a moment

Yan Yu nodded, "Yes, but not much."

It is a tragedy

Thank you. I used to think that death was a form of liberation, but now I find that I am somewhat afraid of death

Under the faint white light, he stands tall and elegant, surrounded by fragrant peach blossoms, appearing both intoxicated and not intoxicated

The shape of the bloodstains resembles large heads with thin tails, akin to an enlarged version of small tadpoles. The thinnest tail gradually becomes shallower, ending at the door of the compartment

Upon seeing the scattered items on the ground, she immediately covered her mouth, fearing that she might scream. After the initial panic subsided, she stepped out into the corridor, glancing around.

Yan Yu's fingers paused for a moment, and her gaze shifted sideways towards her

Is my experience today common in Jubei?

She felt that she had heard it somewhere, but was certainly not familiar with it. "Excuse me," she feigned calmness and walked towards the bathroom

Sun Ran said to Yan Yu: "This is my ex-girlfriend, named Jing Miyu." He wanted to add a remark about her being a jinx, but held back.

Yan Yuxue adopted Sun Ran's calm tone

Jing Mi Yu's clear eyes turned slightly. Did she inadvertently attract this man?

Yan Yu was drinking cola and said, "I will inform you once there is a result"

Jing Miyu raised her fingers and wiggled her toes, now moving freely. She then touched her left chest, everything was normal. The deafening sound of her heartbeat before losing consciousness had faded away

What is the experience of having hot pot with the former boyfriend and the next boyfriend like

She nodded and wrapped herself in the blanket

He is still sitting there, with his head down, playing on his phone

Then, the door was pulled open by Sun Ran, "Are you awake?"

She coughed a couple more times, then spoke in a heavy voice, "Will I have any aftereffects?"

No response received

She tiptoed out

She maintained her composure as she watched the shrimp being taken away by Yan Yu. Unable to bear the sight any longer, she made small talk and asked, "I heard that Mr. Yan is a fan of Sun Ran?"

She saw her handbag hanging at the foot of the bed and jumped over to retrieve it

Yan Yu smiled

Wang Chengying finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stepped forward to pull him.

She propped herself up with one hand, her hips half leaning against the vegetable washing table, "Mr. Yan, I do not know you, but it seems you have a bit of hostility towards me..."

I am very hungry

She quickly released her hand

Sun Ran took some time to decipher the words of Jing Mi Yu, and then got straight to the point: "My friend is in danger in the restroom of Ju Bei. Please notify Ju Bei and make sure to keep her safe for me. I am on my way now"

Thank you. She handed over the cup. "Mr. Yan, I would like to ask you something."

Yan Yuzheng was about to say a few comforting words when Sun Ran's phone call came in

Awake? The head spoke, in a clear and resonant male voice

The matte floor tiles in the bathroom are marked with several streaks of red. One fragment of a broken lipstick lies among the rest, which are bloodstains

She got out of bed and shivered from the cold. She really wanted to eat hot pot immediately.

Oh. That means she is just one of the innocent victims, rather than someone being deliberately targeted. She doesn't know whether to feel happy or disappointed. Is there any surveillance footage

She felt that apart from acquaintances, no one could be trusted, therefore, she did not seek help from the waiter and returned to the restroom

Both the mobile phone and the lipstick are gone

Jing Miyu had heard such a malicious tone on the day they first met. She neatly stacked the bowls and chopsticks, turned around, and said, "I don't know if you are trying to flirt with me or if you genuinely feel like you have seen me before."

She took out the powder compact and saw a sticky face in the mirror. She tore off the double eyelid tape and then used a makeup remover pad to wipe away the residual makeup

The faucet is making a clattering sound

She turned her eyes and saw the photo on the wall, feeling reassured. It was a prize-winning photo of Sun Ran in MMA fighting. He said that after breaking up with her, he moved to a new house to ward off bad luck. It seems this is the place he was talking about

Jing Miyu finished a pot of noodles and was sent by Sun Ran to wash the dishes

Sun Ran replied, "That place is a mix of good and bad elements; there have been incidents before. You shouldn't go alone."

He stared intently at her mouth as it opened and closed. Finally, he forced a light-hearted smile and said, "What a big mouth you have." Seeing her lips quickly press together, he added, "But you look beautiful when you smile."

She reapplied her makeup

A waiter just walked into the elevator to go downstairs

She was slightly surprised

Jing Miyu could not compete with the two of them and could only nibble on a few pieces of broken greens

Jing Miyu hurriedly washed her face. She opened the door a crack to peek at Yan Yu
