Chapter 6857
What's going on so early in the morning?
Xiao Chen agreed without hesitation. In his opinion, it was just a small matter. The villa was big and had many rooms, so it wouldn't matter if one more person lived there.
He hadn't planned to go home tonight; instead, he wanted to have a good drink with Di Tianyan and then sleep at the club.
He thought that it was a rare opportunity to relax, to drink to his heart's content with his friends, and to pour out his troubles.
But, for some reason, as if by some strange twist of fate, he actually came back.
Perhaps deep down he still longed for the warmth of home, and yearned to return to the place where his wife's presence lingered.
However, it's not a big problem. He thought to himself that the villa was so big and had so many rooms, and Yun Yuyan's friends were most likely girls, so it wouldn't be inconvenient for them to move in.
As he walked, he tried to comfort himself and lighten his mood.
Xiao Chen walked slowly to the security door, fumbled in his pocket for a while, and finally pulled out the set of keys.
He carefully inserted the key into the lock, making every movement as quiet as possible, as if afraid of disturbing the sleeping air in the silent night.
As he turned his finger slightly, the key made an extremely faint "click" in the lock, almost without making any noticeable sound, and the security door was slowly opened.
Stepping inside, the living room was pitch black, like a deep black hole that swallowed all the light.
Only a faint light shone through the crack in Yun Yuyan's door, a light that stood out starkly against the darkness, like a lone star in the night sky.
Using the faint light, Xiao Chen groped his way forward in the darkness. His steps were very light, as if he were walking on cotton, afraid of making the slightest sound.
He groped his way to the bathroom, which was also dimly lit.
He turned on the tap, and cold water gushed out, splashing onto his hands and bringing a chilling sensation.
He scooped up some cold water with his hands and splashed it on his face haphazardly; the icy water instantly sobered him up a bit.
Then, he picked up his toothbrush, squeezed on some toothpaste, and brushed his teeth briefly.
After brushing his teeth, he gently pushed open the door to his room, carrying a faint smell of alcohol and the coolness of the night dew.
A faint, familiar scent filled the room, the smell of his long-term residence.
He walked to the bedside, lay down, and muttered, "Just lie down and sleep!"
The bed was very large, and the soft bedding enveloped his body, as if a pair of warm, large hands were gently caressing him, which felt extremely comfortable.
Perhaps because he had experienced too much during the day and had drunk some alcohol, he quickly fell asleep.
In his sleep, his consciousness gradually blurred, as if he were in a cloud of mist.
Perhaps because he was still half asleep, he vaguely sensed someone pushing open his door in that half-awake state.
The slight creaking sound from the door hinges was exceptionally clear in the quiet night.
However, he was so tired that his brain couldn't keep up with the thinking, and he subconsciously thought he was dreaming.
He thought to himself that although Yun Yuyan lived here, she was always a sensible person and would not rashly enter his room.
Never mind, let's keep sleeping. He turned over and fell into a deep sleep again.
A heavy drowsiness, like a gentle yet enormous net, completely captured him, leaving him no way to escape. Wrapped in this net, he slept soundly, oblivious to everything happening around him.
……
The night passed without a word. Only the steady breathing of the two people mingled together in the small room, echoing softly like a silent nocturne.
The next morning, at exactly seven o'clock.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, casting golden rays that pierced the darkness like sharp swords.
"what--!!!"
Suddenly, a scream that could pierce eardrums and was filled with shock, anger and shame exploded like a thunderclap in the spacious villa!
The sound was sharp and piercing, like a bolt of lightning streaking across the night sky, instantly shattering the tranquility of the morning.
Thankfully, this is a villa, and the surrounding area is quite far away, so the soundproofing is pretty good. Otherwise, if the noise reached the neighbors, it would have caused quite a bit of trouble.
The neighbors will surely be awakened by this sudden scream, and they will probably all come out to see what happened.
Xiao Chen was startled by the sudden noise, his brows furrowing and his face showing displeasure.
He instinctively tried to activate his divine energy to protect himself, a habit he had developed over many years, which would cause his body to react automatically in the event of danger or an emergency.
He reluctantly opened his sleepy eyes, still grumpy from waking up, his gaze filled with confusion and anger, muttering, "What's going on so early in the morning?!"
next second!
The once tranquil air was instantly thrown into chaos, as if a giant rock had been thrown into the surface of a lake.
A dark shadow, accompanied by a strong wind, lashed out like a vicious wolf suddenly appearing in the dark night, carrying a chillingly sharp killing intent. With lightning speed, it slapped him hard across the cheek!
The dark figure moved with incredible speed, leaving a blurry trail in the air. Wherever it passed, it seemed as if the air itself was being torn apart, making a whooshing sound.
Xiao Chen's eyes, which had been still somewhat sleepy, suddenly sharpened, like a sharp blade suddenly gleaming in the cold night. His sleepiness was completely dispelled in that instant!
His keen intuition, honed through years of teetering on the brink of death, made his body react instinctively, even faster than his thoughts.
His left hand shot out like lightning, the movement fluid and precise, as if he had practiced it countless times.
That hand, like an iron clamp, gripped the other's slender wrist tightly, yet it contained astonishing explosive power!
Under my fingertips, I could clearly feel the other person's pulse pounding wildly, the rhythm rapid and chaotic, like a wild beast trapped in a cage struggling madly.
He could even feel the muscles beneath the other person's skin tighten instantly, like a fully drawn bowstring, poised to be released, while also surging with overwhelming rage, as if it wanted to completely devour him.
Just as he slightly released his finger strength, almost subconsciously crushing the other's wrist bones and mobilizing his protective immortal energy to shake him away, at this critical moment when life and death hung in the balance...
His gaze, as if drawn by an invisible force, began to slowly focus.
He saw the attacker's face clearly.
It was an extremely cold and beautiful face, which might normally be as aloof as an iceberg, making people dare not approach it easily. But at this moment, it was slightly distorted by rage, like the surface of a lake that had been ravaged by a storm, losing its usual calm.
The first rays of dawn, like a golden veil, gently bathed her in light. (End of Chapter)
