Chapter 6860
Psychosis
"Neuropathy!"
Xiao Chen turned his head slightly, his eyes calm as still water, and merely glanced at Zhou Keying.
His gaze held no superfluous emotion, as if Zhou Keying's anger and aggressive behavior were of no concern to him.
Then, he turned around calmly and walked steadily toward the washroom, each step carrying an air of nonchalant composure.
In the washroom, the sound of running water could be heard as Xiao Chen proceeded with his washing routine in an orderly manner.
After a while, he finished washing up, gently wiped his face with a towel, and then walked out of the washroom with light steps.
As soon as he came out, he saw Zhou Keying still sitting on the bed, wrapped up like a silkworm cocoon, with only her face distorted by anger showing.
Her eyes were like two sharp knives, viciously stabbing at Xiao Chen, as if she wanted to tear him to pieces to vent her hatred.
But Xiao Chen seemed completely oblivious to the hostile gaze, remaining calm and composed. Without even pausing, he walked straight to the door, opened it, and strode out.
The living room was extremely quiet, so quiet that you could almost hear your own heartbeat.
Yun Yuyan's bedroom door was tightly closed, like a mysterious barrier, making people curious about what was hidden inside.
Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked towards Yun Yuyan's bedroom.
He walked to the door, raised his hand, and symbolically knocked lightly. The knock sounded particularly crisp in the quiet living room.
However, after knocking for a while, there was no response or movement from inside, as if no one was inside at all.
Xiao Chen frowned, a little puzzled, and subconsciously reached out and turned the doorknob.
Surprisingly, the door wasn't locked.
With a creak, it slowly opened a crack.
Xiao Chen peeked through the crack in the door and saw that the bed was empty, the blankets were neatly folded, and there was no sign of Yun Yuyan.
"Oh, sleeping so soundly?"
"Or is he not even in the house?"
Xiao Chen couldn't help but mutter something under his breath, a slight, mocking smile playing on his lips.
Zhou Keying's scream just now was so sharp, like a blade piercing the eardrum. It was extremely penetrating and would have woken up even the deepest sleeper.
However, upon further reflection, he realized that Yun Yuyan had probably gone downstairs to buy breakfast early in the morning. After all, there was no one in the house so early in the morning, and this was the only reasonable explanation.
With that thought in mind, Xiao Chen stopped worrying, turned around, walked to the sofa in the living room, and plopped down on it.
He casually picked up a magazine from the coffee table and started flipping through it absentmindedly. Although his eyes were fixed on the words on the page, his mind was elsewhere.
Time passed slowly, and after about five minutes, the guest room door creaked open.
Zhou Keying had changed back into the elegant suit she wore yesterday. The suit was perfectly tailored, highlighting her curvaceous figure.
Her hair was also neatly combed, each strand seemingly meticulously styled, exuding an elegant aura.
Although her face was still unpleasant, so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water, she had at least regained the aloof and arrogant demeanor that the eldest daughter of the Zhou family was used to. Her proud chin was slightly raised, and her eyes revealed an arrogant and domineering attitude.
As soon as she stepped out of the room, her gaze inadvertently fell on Xiao Chen, who was sitting on the sofa.
Her eyes narrowed instantly, and her red lips moved slightly, as if she was about to say something. Just then, a "click" sound came from the apartment door, the sound of a key turning.
Immediately afterwards, Yun Yuyan walked in briskly, carrying several still-steaming takeout bags.
The aroma of the food in the takeout bag was irresistible, instantly filling the entire living room.
"Huh? Xiao Chen?"
When Yun Yuyan saw Xiao Chen in the living room, she was immediately filled with surprise, her eyes wide open as if she had seen something unbelievable.
She stopped and looked Xiao Chen up and down, then asked in confusion, "Don't you live with your friend in the east of the city?"
"Why are you back so early in the morning?"
As she spoke, her gaze swept suspiciously back and forth between Xiao Chen and Zhou Keying, who had just come out of the guest room, her eyes filled with inquiry and curiosity.
Xiao Chen had just opened his mouth slightly, about to explain that "the sofa was too hard, so I slept on the guest room floor for one night," but the words were stuck in his throat and he hadn't had a chance to utter them smoothly.
Just then, Zhou Keying moved swiftly, like a nimble deer, and rushed in front of him in one step.
She carried a faint fragrance, the scent of a high-end perfume, mixed with her own unique body odor, instantly lingering around Xiao Chen's nose.
Immediately afterwards, her soft yet irresistibly strong hand swiftly covered Xiao Chen's mouth with lightning speed!
The movement was so fast that Xiao Chen didn't have time to react.
"Well……"
Xiao Chen felt his mouth being tightly covered, and he let out a muffled whimper, his words being abruptly cut off.
He instinctively tried to break free, but found that although Zhou Keying's hands looked slender and delicate, they were like iron clamps, tightly holding him.
Zhou Keying forced a slightly stiff smile, a smile that looked like it was cobbled together on her face and appeared somewhat unnatural.
She quickly turned to Yun Yuyan and said in a rapid voice, "This guy!"
"They rushed over first thing in the morning, barged into my room without knocking, and woke me up!"
Her voice carried just the right amount of annoyance, as if she was genuinely furious at Xiao Chen's sudden intrusion, while also containing a hint of grievance at being disturbed from her sleep, making her look like a spoiled young lady who had been unreasonably woken up.
After saying that, she immediately turned her head and brought her face close to Xiao Chen's ear, so close that they could almost feel each other's eyelashes trembling slightly.
She whispered urgently through gritted teeth, a voice only the two of them could hear: "If you dare to utter a single word about what happened last night to Yun Yuyan or to anyone else!"
"I...I will never forgive you!"
"I, Zhou Keying, always keep my word!"
Her voice was full of threat and warning, her eyes wide open, staring intently at Xiao Chen as if trying to see right through him.
In her haste, she couldn't think of a more intimidating threat, so she could only convey her determination through her fierce gaze.
Xiao Chen felt the soft touch of her small hand on his lips, the delicate skin rubbing against his lips, and her fragrant breath, so close to his face, gently spraying onto his face, causing a ripple to stir in his heart.
But a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, an expression as if he were watching an amusing farce. (End of Chapter)
