Chapter 555: No time
Su Yinhe didn’t have time to listen to Lin Murong’s blah blah blah. She really didn’t have the time, and her time was precious, okay?
"Ah! Galaxy, you’re going to scare someone to death. Haven’t you heard the saying, ’Scaring people can scare someone to death’?" Lin Murong was completely spooked.
"Tsk." Su Yinhe shook her head, "That won’t do."
"What do you mean by ’won’t do’?" Lin Murong was confused.
"Courage, you lack courage," Su Yinhe patted him, "You better work on that."
After this little incident, Su Yinhe’s mood had improved significantly.
She didn’t need Chi Yan to compliment her anymore.
She was happy, but Chi Yan was still a bit, clueless.
He was smart but didn’t have very high Emotional Intelligence. He enjoyed figuring out Su Yinhe’s thoughts. He could guess right many times, but he couldn’t guess everything.
"Hmm, don’t think too much. It’s nothing." Su Yinhe was in a good mood, extremely good, and even managed to coax Chi Yan in return.
As soon as she said this, Chi Yan, with his love-struck brain, decided not to worry about anything else.
"Alright, I’ll listen to you."
"Mm, good boy."
Lin Murong: "???"
What the heck?
This looked like a major dog-pampering scene.
Sometimes, Lin Murong really suspected that Chi Yan was a dog raised by Su Yinhe.
Even more of a dog than him.
He was just gobbling up dog food, while Chi Yan was being a dog in front of Su Yinhe.
Hmm...
He felt he was a bit more high-level than Chi Yan.
Yes, even in this situation, Lin Murong wanted to compete.
He must be sick.
Really sick.
The two of them went off happily, leaving Lin Murong, the single dog, overthinking and then cracking up in foolish laughter.
You have to say, some people really have a good attitude.
Though speechless, Lin Murong could actually have quite a good time on his own.
"Ah. It’s really like raising a child," Su Yinhe remarked as she watched Lin Murong grinning foolishly.
"Such a child, better to strangle," Chi Yan also commented.
Su Yinhe: "???"
"No, young man, your thoughts are quite dangerous, watch your brain," Su Yinhe felt a bit tired as she tried to straighten out Chi Yan.
But it seemed like Chi Yan was fundamentally crooked.
And now she was starting to be led astray by him.
"Hmm? Alright, I’ll listen to you," Chi Yan smiled at her.
Su Yinhe looked at him and sighed.
"Listen to me, listen to me, always saying you’ll listen to me, but you never actually do it, do you?" After saying that, Su Yinhe sighed heavily again.
"No. I’m trying. With you, I am like this, others..." He couldn’t even speak it out.
"Yeah, you’re trying. I believe, believe you. Forget it, maybe you should stop trying, doesn’t seem to work anyway," Su Yinhe had pretty much given up on curing him.
"Ah. So I..." No more pretending.
Pretending to be a good guy and obedient every day was tiresome, now he might as well just straight up go and take out Lin Murong.
Chi Yan silently prepared to draw a knife.
But before he could get the knife out, Su Yinhe, the fickle woman, changed her mind again.
"No way, you should keep trying, don’t give up on the treatment so quickly." She’d almost forgotten he’d be accompanying her later. If she let him be now, later on...
No telling.
Scary.
Su Yinhe sighed.
No, no, better continue the treatment then.
Hearing this, Chi Yan put the nearly drawn knife back.
Good, he could be good.
In front of Galaxy, he was always sensible, obedient, perfect.
Whatever Galaxy said, he did.
Hoping only that Galaxy would love him a little more.
She had given him plenty of love already, but he still felt it wasn’t enough, still not enough. He was a greedy person, when it came to Galaxy’s love, the more he felt, the more he wanted.
Not enough, still not enough.
He wanted more.
Chi Yan looked at her, with his expression slowly becoming improper.
Su Yinhe was also sharp, she quickly looked up and met his gaze, but in that instant, his expression changed back again.
Strange.
Something felt off.
Su Yinhe didn’t catch anything in particular, yet she sensed that something wasn’t right.
Relying on a woman’s sixth sense, she knew that there certainly had been something amiss just now.
"Chi Yan, tell me what’s wrong, just now."
Su Yinhe stared straight at him.
Chi Yan had better not lie to her.
But then, some things require lies.
He certainly didn’t want to scare her.
He had said that in her heart, he must be rational, perfect.
He did not wish to be seen as a bad person in her heart.
"It’s nothing. Is there something wrong?" Chi Yan’s eyes appeared innocent.
"Um... perhaps there’s nothing." Seeing him like that, Su Yinhe also started to doubt if her feelings were mistaken.
After all, the sixth sense can often be wrong.
"Right, it’s nothing." Chi Yan intertwined his fingers with hers.
"So... Galaxy, do you want to do something now?" The suggestive undertone in Chi Yan’s words was very obvious.
Su Yinhe: "..."
"Ah, watch a drama, I’ll watch a drama." Su Yinhe understood his hint, but she pretended not to.
She played deaf.
"Okay. Watch the drama." Chi Yan curled his lips slightly.
He knew she understood, she simply chose not to respond.
But that’s fine, he understood.
Chi Yan’s attitude made Su Yinhe feel somewhat embarrassed.
"So I..."
"Go ahead and watch." Chi Yan considerately set up the tablet for her, and also prepared some snacks and milk tea.
And a cushion.
"Sit. You watch here. I’ll go make you something delicious. If you want my company, just call me." Chi Yan created a comfortable environment for watching the drama.
After setting everything up, he went to make something tasty.
It wasn’t so much about wanting to cook something delicious, nor did he feel like making anything, what he really wanted was to be by her side. However, he could barely contain himself anymore.
The urge to consume her was becoming overwhelming.
He considered himself a very rational person, but no matter how rational, there were some emotions he couldn’t restrain.
The more you try to restrain emotions, the more they surge uncontrollably.
And he had been restraining them for a very, very long time.
So long it was frightening.
Fortunately, for now, he still had control.
He was, after all, a rational person.
A highly rational one.
Chi Yan walked away swiftly.
He walked so fast that Su Yinhe didn’t even have time to call out to him.
Su Yinhe: "..."
Su Yinhe touched her nose and glanced at the tablet, which was showing ads.
During the ad break, Su Yinhe pondered why Chi Yan had bolted so quickly.
No, why did he run at all.
Was she some kind of fierce flood or wild beast?
She was not that frightening, alright.
Su Yinhe shook her head.
But then again, Chi Yan probably wasn’t afraid of her.
It seemed like nothing could scare Chi Yan.
He was quite fearless.
Su Yinhe wanted to ponder further, but the drama had already started.
Caught up in the plot, she didn’t think too much about it anymore.
Forget it, watch first, think later.
Plus, Chi Yan was making something delicious for her and would come back.
No rush.
The drama was what mattered.
