Ye Youlong immediately felt annoyed and punched Xiao Zhan in the chest.
Their perception was sharp, and they heard every nuance of Liu Yuan imitating Xiao Zhan’s words after she closed the door behind her.
Ye Youlong’s face felt burning hot.
But Xiao Zhan couldn’t help but laugh heartily, not minding it at all.
In fact, he felt even better.
Because he had discovered, that there’s something even more delightful than being in love: flaunting it in front of singles.
This feeling was simply wonderful and splendid!
His triumphant laughter made Ye Youlong’s face turn even redder, and her punches turned to pinches.
Xiao Zhan quickly toned down his volume.
Really speechless, how do all women seem to instinctively know how to pinch the soft flesh around the waist without anyone ever teaching them?
Then, he entered the room with Ye Youlong.
After freshening up, the two of them nestled together in bed.
"That Long Jiang is a bit suspicious; we should watch out for him. His gaze towards me was not quite right all day long today," Ye Youlong said as she leaned into Xiao Zhan’s arms, her head resting on his arm.
With her gifted perception, she could notice even the slightest odd behavior from Long Jiang.
Throughout the day, Long Jiang’s gaze kept drifting towards her, unintentionally or intentionally.
With a hint of eagerness, with a trace of pursuit.
This kind of gaze was something Ye Youlong often encountered, as many students looked at her this way in the academy.
But for Long Jiang, the deputy director of the Special Service Bureau, to look at Ye Youlong with such persistency for an entire day was indeed strange.
After all, she was in a Life and Death Contract with Xiao Zhan.
Ordinarily, when people saw the mark on her forehead, the eagerness in their eyes would be halved.
Xiao Zhan pondered with a serious expression. He had also noticed Long Jiang’s unusual behavior.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so indifferent just before.
"If he dares to look at you with that kind of eye tomorrow, I’ll teach him an everlasting lesson!" Xiao Zhan thought about it and felt it necessary to give Long Jiang a warning.
Although his gaze, strictly speaking, was not a problem, Xiao Zhan couldn’t stand it being so persistent.
"Don’t bother teaching him, I’ll gouge his eyes out myself tomorrow."
Unexpectedly, Ye Youlong was even harsher than Xiao Zhan.
Her tone was chilling to the bone, not at all joking.
Xiao Zhan was momentarily stunned, then could only sigh at how Ye Youlong was indeed Ye Youlong, so much more straightforward than him.
No, this was not about being straightforward, this was a matter of psychological cleanliness.
She did not allow herself to be looked at by other men in that way, even if such gazes contained no malice.
It was precisely because there was no malice that Ye Youlong could endure until now; otherwise, she would have exploded on the spot.
However, even such a gaze, which seemed normal to others, she did not want it to persist for long!
"I should only be looked at by you."
Just as Xiao Zhan was reflecting on Ye Youlong’s particularity, she suddenly said this.
Hearing her words, Xiao Zhan’s expression turned somewhat blank, his heart instantly touched by a trace of sweetness.
Then, he looked straight at Ye Youlong, a sly smile on his lips, "Then I’m going to look at you right now."
Ye Youlong’s fair face was quickly flushed with redness.
She lowered her head, not daring to look at Xiao Zhan. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel⟡fire.net
Seeing her , Xiao Zhan was moved, knowing exactly what the next step should be.
Perhaps tonight would be the night he proved his ’manhood’, and he extended his Demon Scythe.
Suddenly, the sound of shattering glass!
A bullet flew in from outside.
Xiao Zhan almost reflexively leaped from the bed, the Death Demon Scythe that Ye Youlong had turned into was already in his hand.
The bullet did not hit Xiao Zhan, but struck a vase in the room.
Xiao Zhan immediately extended his Perception, trying to pursue.
But to his surprise, he found that the assailant was already beyond his Perception range, which made Xiao Zhan hesitate a bit.
"That person is already gone."
At this moment, Ye Youlong’s voice came through.
Although the assassin was beyond their Perception range, Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong could not determine the specific number and strength of the attackers. However, the Perception of killing intent actually extends a bit beyond the actual distance.
Xiao Zhan glanced at the shattered vase, fell silent for two seconds, and said, "The other side doesn’t want to kill us; this seems more like a warning."
In the situation just now, even if the bullet had been aimed at Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong, they could have reacted in the quickest time.
But in this world, they are limited.
This kind of attack without attacking is more like a reminder.
At this moment, urgent knocking came from outside the door.
"Xiao Zhan, are you guys okay?"
It was Liu Yuan’s voice.
Xiao Zhan opened the door and saw Liu Yuan and Xu Qing’s anxious expressions, shaking his head, "It’s nothing much."
"What happened?" Liu Yuan asked.
"It’s a warning from the enemy."
Xiao Zhan pointed at the broken vase.
Liu Yuan and Xu Qing’s faces instantly turned serious. They had just arrived, and an attack had occurred so soon?
At this time, Long Jiang also hurried over, and seeing the situation in the room, he immediately stepped forward with concern, "What happened? Are you hurt?"
"It’s nothing big, just a warning."
Long Jiang entered the room, took a quick glance at the scene, looked at Xiao Zhan, as well as the Death Demon Scythe in his hand.
He then said solemnly, "Didn’t expect these guys to be so bold as to directly make a move on you. It seems your appearance has scared them."
"You can’t stay here anymore, it’s too dangerous. You should stay in the security room instead, it’s safe there, even if the conditions are a bit rougher."
"Okay," Xiao Zhan replied.
Although it seemed that the other party had no intention of killing them, it was still better to be cautious.
Afterward, Long Jiang rearranged their accommodation.
Before leaving, he said, "You can rest easy here; there’s a guard patrol outside, and the houses are built with special materials, nothing like what happened just now will occur."
After Long Jiang left.
Xiao Zhan’s gaze turned icy, "These guys move really fast, already starting to make a move on us."
"Do you suspect there’s a mole inside the Special Service Bureau?"
Ye Youlong, who had already returned to human form, was wearing a silky smooth nightgown that hugged her curves exquisitely.
Xiao Zhan couldn’t help but take a second look and said, "Having a mole is normal. With the capabilities of the Special Service Bureau, it’s impossible for twenty-some people to vanish without a trace, and yet not have a single lead. If that’s the case, then they’re utterly incompetent."
"Then who do you think the mole might be?"
"I don’t know. After all, since we arrived, about half of the people in the Special Service Bureau have been made aware."
Ye Youlong fell silent for a while, "Could it be Long Jiang?"
"He’s a suspect, but there’s no evidence."
"Let’s not think about it for now and check out the academy tomorrow. It’s getting late; let’s rest."
With that, Xiao Zhan walked towards the bed.
Ye Youlong had no choice but to get into bed, lying beside him.
Looking at Ye Youlong’s graceful figure, Xiao Zhan suddenly muttered, "Too bad..."
"Too bad I didn’t get a good look earlier."
Two seconds later, Ye Youlong said, "If you want to see, I’ll show you now."
"Never mind, the atmosphere’s gone."
Xiao Zhan waved his hand again.
What he wanted was not just to look; he also wanted to get to know her more deeply.
Only, just now, something that distracting had happened.
Now, his mood was entirely gone.
A person shrouded in black was having a video communication with several people.
