Chapter 70 - A myriad of ways to kill him (1)
"I checked it out. Huo Ren's inner circle and the people in charge of this place are in the same group. Huo Ren is the boss," Lu Xingchi said.
Bei Nuan also knew that the people here seemed to recognize Huo Ren's group. Moreover, Huo Ren had an attitude of doing whatever he pleased. He didn't seem like a person in someone else's territory.
Lu Xingchi pondered, "I don't know why they would want to run a refuge."
Bei Nuan smoothly answered, "Normal people can't understand the actions of abnormal people."
Lu Xingchi smiled and stood up.
Bei Nuan thought he was going to leave, but he only picked up her fallen knife from the ground and pulled the bed sheet off the bed.
He walked to the door and nailed the bedsheet to the door using the knife. This covered the small window in the door, making it impossible for anyone to peep inside from the hallway.
The small window was covered, and the two of them were alone in the cell. Bei Nuan suddenly felt a bit shy.
Lu Xingchi walked back and leaned down by Bei Nuan's bed.
With the moonlight coming through the window, she could see his slender and resplendent eyes.
He was too close to her. His tempting smile was right in front of her. Bei Nuan suddenly thought of their accidental kiss in the supermarket. His lips felt soft, and his breath was fresh. To be honest, it was quite kissable…
Bei Nuan was taken aback by her train of thought. She immediately corrected herself. That his lips were quite kissable, it was just an objective tactile observation on her part. That's all.
It was too outrageous to keep staring at someone's lips.
Bei Nuan looked away from his lips. When she looked up, she saw that his eyes were lowered too. He was staring at her lips.
This atmosphere was too strange. Bei Nuan instinctively scooted towards the wall.
"You don't have to be afraid of me," Lu Xingchi suddenly spoke. His voice was gentle.
"I'm not afraid of you," Bei Nuan hurriedly declared. Then she added, "I'm not afraid of anyone."
"Yeah." Lu Xingchi smiled. "You're not afraid of anyone. Other people should be afraid of you."
He suddenly stroked Bei Nuan's cheeks.
"With a face like yours, it'll never occur to anyone the thoughts that go in your mind."
Bei Nuan felt guilty. "... What can I be thinking about?"
"Thinking about how gas canisters are pretty good. They're terrible enough to deal with anyone." Lu Xingchi's voice was quiet and gentle with a bit of teasing as he added, "They fell out in bags instead of as one piece. Too bad he's not squashed flat."
These were the exact words Bei Nuan murmured when she was putting away the bags of rice she used against Zhou Cang. As it turned out, he had heard it all.
Although she had been caught, Bei Nuan refused to admit it.
Bei Nuan muttered, "I have no idea what nonsense you're saying."
Lu Xingchi faintly twitched the corner of his mouth. "Yeah, I don't know what I'm talking about either."
He put his hand down and straightened up as if he was planning to leave.
Bei Nuan didn't know why she felt a sense of loss.
Lu Xingchi saw Bei Nuan's expression and suddenly leaned down again to cradle the back of her head.
He leaned over more and pressed his lips to Bei Nuan's forehead.
As those kissable lips pressed against her forehead, she felt softness and warmth.
Bei Nuan froze in surprise and didn't struggle. This was a standard parent-style kiss. Mother Rabbit had lost the obedient baby rabbit. His conscience probably felt unsettled.
Just as she was having these random thoughts, she heard him whisper above her, "You must be tired today. Let's go to sleep. I'll keep you company."
Bei Nuan: ???
What did he mean?
He glanced at Bei Nuan's stiff expression and briefly smiled. He let go of her, walked to an iron-frame bunk bed on the opposite side, and lay down in his clothes.
Oh, so that's what he meant. It looked like he wasn't going to leave tonight.
