Chapter 121: treasure
Lin Murong looked around, then lowered his voice and asked Su Yinhe in a whisper,
“Did something happen with Brother Chi…” Nothing serious, I hope. There can’t be trouble.
Su Yinhe wasn’t eager to answer the question, but Lin Murong looked at her expectantly, with an air of someone who wouldn’t leave without an answer.
“It’s nothing,” Su Yinhe said indifferently.
She meant to be discreet, thinking their relationship wasn’t yet defined and she shouldn’t flaunt it.
However, seeing her , Lin Murong’s heart sank.
Lin Murong looked deeply sorrowful.
Chi Yan, you failure.
“What’s with that look?” Su Yinhe couldn’t help asking, seeing the changes in Lin Murong’s expression.
“Normal look. Goodnight.” Lin Murong sighed, turned away, his silhouette looking increasingly desolate.
Su Yinhe scratched her head, confused.
Maybe it was from spending too much time with Chi Yan, whose thoughts were non-standard. Lin Murong also seemed a bit off.
Su Yinhe returned to her tent, lay down, and then took out her precious tablet to skim through an episode.
Tonight’s episode was quite sentimental, and as she watched, tears started to fall.
She ended up pulling an all-nighter, and the next morning, her eyes were swollen.
Swollen like walnuts.
“Holy shit! You… Galaxy, did you cry all night?” Lin Murong was furious seeing her .
“Did Chi Yan bully you?” No wonder they were so distant from each other, it turned out that Chi Yan was the bully.
Galaxy had even cried all night because of Chi Yan.
Lin Murong looked at her with regret.
He regretted trying to bring Chi Yan and Galaxy together before.
He only remembered that Chi Yan was his brother, but forgot Chi Yan was also a lunatic.
He matched Galaxy with Chi Yan, this lunatic. He was guilty.
“Are you okay, Galaxy? Don’t worry, I’ll seek justice for you,” Lin Murong was ready to confront Chi Yan, knife in hand.
He knew he couldn’t beat Chi Yan.
But Galaxy had cooked for him every day; he had to stand by her side, fight even if he couldn’t win. It was a matter of principle.
“Calm down,” Su Yinhe touched her forehead, where was all this drama coming from in Lin Murong’s mind? What was he thinking every day that made his words so incomprehensible to her?
“I can’t stay calm, Galaxy, I will avenge you,” Lin Murong said with fierce righteousness.
“Wait. I… I was moved to tears by the drama,” Su Yinhe explained.
“Don’t lie to me, Galaxy. Don’t cover for Chi Yan. I will seek justice for you,” Lin Murong said as he looked at her red eyes, feeling increasingly heartbroken.
His poor Galaxy, bullied yet afraid to speak up.
Who knows what hardships she had to endure.
Why would Lin Murong think Chi Yan had bullied Su Yinhe?
Because Chi Yan had a history.
Chi Yan, who would not spare anyone that offended him, regardless of gender, age, or association. Those who wanted to be with him were rejected mercilessly by Chi Yan.
If someone physically clung to him, Chi Yan would kick them away without hesitation.
Beautiful or not, he would kick.
Completely unaware of how to treasure others.
Lin Murong suspected Su Yinhe had been to the red light district the previous night, and Chi Yan found out. When the two of them went out alone, Chi Yan might have scolded her or, worse, hit her.
Lin Murong’s gaze towards Su Yinhe was filled with remorse.
Does anyone listen anymore?
I already said it was the drama, the drama!
To be precise, it was anime, but Su Yinhe didn’t really want to say it outright, because she had watched dramas with them before but had never watched anime together.
She hardly ever watched anime in front of them.
She was afraid if she told the truth, Lin Murong might want to watch with her and what if he got addicted.
Then he would compete with her for it.
Anime was something Su Yinhe preferred to watch alone.
“Really, there’s nothing. Chi Yan didn’t do anything to me.”
“Then your eyes…” Lin Murong was skeptical.
“I’ve already said, I was moved by the drama,” Su Yinhe wanted to curse.
Lin Murong still didn’t believe it and wanted to say more, but in the next second, Chi Yan came out, saw the two of them standing together, and deliberately walked over to stand next to Su Yinhe.
Actions spoke louder than words.
Lin Murong was dumbstruck at the scene.
“What are you doing standing here? What’s wrong with your eyes?” Chi Yan also noticed her red eyes.
Before Su Yinhe could answer, Chi Yan spoke again.
Su Yinhe fell silent.
Her eyes were so red; how did he figure it out?
“Let’s go have breakfast first, and after we finish, I’ll apply some egg on it for you,” Chi Yan beckoned to her hand.
Lin Murong’s rage extinguished instantly.
Seeing the two of them looking so “lovey-dovey,” he felt like an idiot.
He really wanted to turn back time and slap himself.
Galaxy already said it wasn’t so, why couldn’t he just believe her?
He was even ranting about going to settle accounts with Brother Chi.
It was so awkward he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Lin Murong felt humiliated, and during breakfast, he was as quiet as a quail.
Chi Yan saw his mood and knew he must have done something guilty, definitely related to him.
Chi Yan snorted, and Lin Murong’s neck shrank even shorter.
It was confirmed, it definitely had to do with him.
Probably bad-mouthing him.
But Chi Yan didn’t care about that as he believed that Su Yinhe was as smart as him and wouldn’t believe this fool’s words.
Chi Yan had a bowl of noodles and then drank a cup of soy milk.
When he finished eating, Su Yinhe was still struggling with the noodles in her bowl.
He then took out a steaming, somewhat hot boiled egg from the storage space, peeled it, and carefully applied it near the skin around Su Yinhe’s eyes.
Having a storage space was great.
You could pull out anything.
The usually quiet Lin Murong began to feel sour again.
Chi Yan even had a cooked egg ready.
Chi Yan applied the egg carefully and gently, not disturbing Su Yinhe’s meal in the slightest.
When he leaned in, Su Yinhe did panic for a moment, but she quickly reminded herself to stay calm.
She was someone who had faced great trials and tribulations.
Was she afraid of a boiled egg?
After the egg without the shell had been applied, Su Yinhe indeed felt much more comfortable around her eyes.
As for the used egg, Su Yinhe ate it as well.
After breakfast, Su Yinhe went back to catch up on sleep.
Before dozing off, she always felt like she was forgetting something, but if she couldn’t remember, it must not have been important—getting some sleep was the priority.
Su Yinhe snuggled under her small blanket and fell fast asleep, while in the market, people who were waiting for Su Yinhe to exchange the rice waited the whole morning.
“Why hasn’t she arrived yet? Where’s Boss Su?”
“How would I know? I’ve been waiting since early, didn’t even catch a glimpse of her.”
“Ah! She’s not coming, is she? I specifically carried a bunch of stuff here.”
