Chapter 120: Indescribable Text
She gave an awkward smile, “You… have a pretty keen sense of smell.”
Lin Murong, listening to this, felt that something was amiss, and he even stopped using his chopsticks.
He looked at Chi Yan with some astonishment, “Brother Chi, you… you actually went to such a place! And you, Galaxy, you’re a girl!” He then turned his head to look at Su Yinhe.
“That’s very dangerous. The people there… you’re not allowed to go there again.”
Su Yinhe obediently nodded her head.
“And Brother Chi, come clean, when did you go?” He couldn’t believe Chi Yan went without him; he had never been there himself.
Lin Murong had only heard of the red light district’s reputation and had never actually been there.
“I was dropping someone off,” Chi Yan glanced at him, not very willing to answer, but worried that Su Yinhe might misunderstand, he still explained a bit.
The explanation was shockingly brief.
Those who didn’t know him would definitely not understand what he was talking about. But Su Yinhe, having heard about Chi Yan’s deeds from others, understood him once he spoke.
Only Lin Murong was still cluelessly unable to understand.
“Who did you take there, to the red light district?” He couldn’t believe Chi Yan hadn’t taken him. And didn’t Chi Yan have a germ phobia? Where was that phobia when he went?
Lin Murong looked at him unfavorably.
Chi Yan looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot.
“Don’t give me that look, I’m asking you.” Considering Su Yinhe was beside him, Lin Murong felt he had to make things clear for her.
It wasn’t convenient for Su Yinhe, a girl, to inquire, but he would not hold back or feel embarrassed.
He must clarify everything.
Otherwise, he would be harming Galaxy.
Although Chi Yan was his brother, he couldn’t just watch Galaxy fall into a trap.
“Three years ago. The surname Lin,” Chi Yan glanced at Su Yinhe, a bit impatiently toward Lin Murong.
Though Chi Yan only said six words, Lin Murong eventually caught on.
His legs suddenly clamped together.
Three years ago, someone surnamed Lin…
That was… wasn’t it that relative of his…
He recalled hearing that the man was castrated, and Lin Murong felt a chill down his spine at the time.
“Remember… remembered.” Lin Murong nodded meekly, simultaneously wanting to cover his legs, but remembered he was in the middle of eating.
“Gal… Galaxy, let’s eat,” Lin Murong stiffly changed the topic.
Su Yinhe looked at Chi Yan, who was radiating a chill, and then at Lin Murong, who looked scared, and found it quite amusing.
Tonight’s meal featured two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a soup, quite a feast.
The rice was purple rice, which Su Yinhe liked very much.
Lin Murong washed the dishes tonight; usually, Chi Yan, the Water Element Superpower User, would do it. Tonight was special, Chi Yan prepared the water in the basin and bucket, sending Lin Murong off to wash the dishes.
Lin Murong, whether from fear or something else, didn’t protest and obediently, like a quail, took the basin and bucket to wash the dishes.
“Let’s take a walk, burn off some calories.” Though it sounded like a suggestion coming from Chi Yan’s mouth, Su Yinhe distinctly heard an undeniable tone.
Su Yinhe had been at the red light district today and was even sniffed out by Chi Yan, feeling a bit guilty, she dared not refuse.
Chi Yan took a flashlight, a special one that cast light in the shape of a flower, set at low brightness. As the two walked together, there was a somewhat romantic atmosphere.
“Was it fun?” Chi Yan suddenly asked while they were walking.
His tone was normal, his pace was normal, everything seemed normal, but for some reason, Su Yinhe sensed something off about him.
He seemed indifferent on the surface, but deep down, he cared a bit.
He cared about her response.
This thought suddenly popped into Su Yinhe’s mind.
“…Not fun.” Su Yinhe kicked a small stone at her feet, which flew off into an area not lit by the flashlight, disappearing from sight.
“Do the people inside… look better than me?” Chi Yan asked again.
Upon hearing this, Su Yinhe carefully recalled.
There were twenty people, men and women, all sorts of types.
But without exception, none were as good-looking as Chi Yan.
There were attractive people inside, but Chi Yan clearly matched her aesthetic more; she still preferred the type of looks that Chi Yan had.
Su Yinhe took too long to answer, and Chi Yan’s pace slowed down more and more.
Finally, just as he was about to stop, he heard Su Yinhe’s answer.
It sounded like music to his ears.
Chi Yan had never thought he would be so happy and excited over two ordinary words.
He had always been confident about his appearance, being the one praised from a young age.
But in front of Su Yinhe, the one who was usually confident, occasionally felt insecure.
Knowing that Su Yinhe had gone to the red light district, he didn’t show much on the surface, but suddenly, a lot of worries emerged in his mind.
He had been to the red light district before.
He had sent a man who spied on him and whom he had castrated there.
He had seen the special service providers in the red light district.
He had looked at them with his discerning eyes and wasn’t impressed.
But he was still worried, what if one of them hit Su Yinhe’s aesthetic?
Lately, Su Yinhe had been looking at him every day, what if she got tired of it?
What if she became interested in them?
Chi Yan knew the word “novelty.”
Hearing Su Yinhe’s answer, Chi Yan’s steps, which had been slowing down, picked up again.
From him, Su Yinhe felt joy; she sensed that his entire being was more relaxed.
“So… do you think I am good-looking?” Chi Yan felt a bit shameless asking the person he liked directly whether he was good-looking or not, but he was so eager to hear Su Yinhe’s answer.
“Good-looking, exceptionally good-looking.” So good-looking that it was tempting to lure him into bed.
She might be a beast.
Relationships hadn’t been defined yet, and she was thinking of luring him to her big bed to do this and that…
Su Yinhe sadly thought.
Hearing the answer he wanted, Chi Yan slightly hooked his lips, unable to suppress the curvature at the corners of his mouth.
Su Yinhe decided to go check out some indescribable literature tonight to calm down and gain some more experience.
The two walked for a long time, and Lin Murong, after finishing washing the dishes, waited a long time without seeing them return.
“Damn it. They aren’t sleeping outside, are they?”
The two had room, just grab two tents, and it would be easy.
Lin Murong felt a bit like one of those children left at home.
Lin Murong was almost falling asleep when he finally saw the two return.
It felt… strange between those two.
Weren’t they close before they left? How come they were so distant upon returning?
They had a falling out.
Lin Murong was shocked.
He might not hope to be his son, but he couldn’t lose his sister-in-law too.
Lin Murong, knowing Chi Yan hadn’t messed around, still wanted to help Chi Yan and Su Yinhe get together.
So not long after Su Yinhe went into the tent, while looking for some indescribable literature, Lin Murong sneakily bent over and called out to Su Yinhe.
“What’s wrong?” Su Yinhe had just begun her search when Lin Murong’s voice startled her.
She came out and saw Lin Murong’s sneaky figure and couldn’t help but also lower her voice.
