Chapter 95: Inhumane Bedfellows (3) Ketchup?
Even though she was separated from the screen, Yan Jinyue seemed to be able to feel the venom-like malice in those cloudy eyes.
She staggered back, her legs so weak that she almost fell. She swallowed, took out her cell phone tremblingly, and made a call.
"Hello, wife?"
"Husband..." she shouted out at this time without ever uttering two words. She cried heavily, "Go home quickly. There are bad guys at the door. I'm so scared..."
"Don't be afraid, I'll be home soon."
"Now go to the study room and lock the door. Then there is a red book on the sixth floor of the bookshelf. Pull it out. It is a compartment switch. You hide in. There will be a bronze lamp on the left side of the door. Press it to close the door. .”
He gave instructions methodically.
The man's gentle voice was like gurgling water, dispelling some of her fear and making her calm down.
She moved a few chairs to block the door, then entered the study room according to Yan Qi's instructions, locked the door, and then found the red book on the sixth floor of the bookshelf and pulled it out.
"Click, click..." After a few subtle sounds of mechanism operation, the bookshelf moved from the middle to both sides, and a door appeared.
After entering, she first saw a passage with square turned stone walls on both sides. The simple gray-green color made her suddenly think that she had entered some ancient tomb.
Yan Jinyue looked to her left, and sure enough, there was a bronze lamp, half a person tall, in the style of an ancient palace lantern, with exquisite and complex patterns, and specks of deep ocher mottled rust.
She tentatively stretched out her hand and pressed it. The bronze lamp lowered by half an inch, and then the door behind her closed.
"Bang——"
There shouldn't be any soundproofing here. The sound of the door breaking in from outside could be heard clearly. The closed corridor expanded and reverberated, making people feel numb.
She was so scared that she squatted down and hugged herself. Yan Qi's comforting voice came from the phone: "Honey, don't be afraid. I'm already going to the elevator. I'm almost there."
"Okay."
Although Yan Jinyue was scared, his brain was not completely turned into mush, and she did not forget to tell him: "You have to be careful, that bad guy...may have weapons like knives."
"Well, don't worry."
After a while, he said: "I'm at the door."
Yan Jinyue wanted to say something to make him careful, but the call was suddenly cut off. After a few beeps, she couldn't get through even if she tried to call back.
Not only that, the noisy sounds outside also disappeared, returning to deathly silence, and a strong sense of uneasiness filled my heart like a tide.
Yan Qi, nothing will happen...
She clenched her sweaty palms and persuaded herself not to think too much, he would be fine, but her heart was beating faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. A string in my head felt like it was being cut into pieces by someone, and my body was being roasted on the fire. It was very unbearable.
Taking a deep breath, she stood up.
She couldn't hide here and let Yan Qi face the gangster alone.
Yan Jinyue pressed the bronze lamp again, the lamp returned to its original height, and the door slowly opened.
The study door has not been broken open yet, presumably the gangster has not found this place yet. After listening through the door, there was no movement outside, so she quietly opened the door a crack.
There was a vague figure in the living room. The man's figure was very tall, and he looked like Yan Qi, but he couldn't be sure.
Just as Yan Jinyue was thinking about whether to go out directly, her cell phone rang. She was startled and almost dropped the phone to the ground.
In a panic, he glanced at the phone screen. The caller's note was "Husband A", which was Yan Qi.
But...it doesn't have to be Yan Qi, because if something happens to him, the gangster will be the one who gets his phone.
The person in the living room was walking towards this side. The footsteps were not heavy, but because the environment was extremely quiet, it was very clear.
She gritted her teeth and pressed the answer button. "Wife" came out of the receiver first, and this voice coincided with the voice outside the door.
"It's okay, I have driven away the bad guys."
His pleasant voice spoke slowly, and tears came to his eyes. She was so scared just now that she didn't cry, but when she heard this voice, she couldn't control it.
She stopped crying and whimpered softly. Yan Qi opened the door and saw the little girl squatting on the ground, hugging her legs, and her body was shaking.
He walked over, bent down, put his arms through her bent knees, picked her up steadily, left the study, went directly to the bedroom, put her on the bed, and thoughtfully took off her shoes.
"It's okay, don't be afraid."
He rubbed her hair and found that it was still wet and cold. It's early autumn now, and although the weather isn't too cold, it's not good for a girl's health to leave her hair wet and dry.
His eyes darkened for a moment, only for a moment. When Yan Jinyue raised her head and looked at him with a pair of tearful eyes, they were so clear and gentle, as if they could dispel all the haze.
"Well, where are the bad guys?" she asked in a trembling voice.
"We have been taken away by the police, don't be afraid."
He took the hairdryer and blew her hair gently. His eyebrows were lowered, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes. His expression was focused and serious.
Yan Jinyue's heart seemed to have been ironed by something warm, docile and stable, allowing him to move.
For a period of time, they chatted a few words, not much, let alone warm, just simple topics about what they did during the day.

But Yan Jinyue enjoyed this time immensely.
"Okay." After drying his hair, the man took the hair dryer and put it away.
Watching his leaving figure, she felt a little disappointed for no reason, but fortunately, he came back soon.
If there was a mirror in front of her, she would definitely see how obvious the change in her eyes was, from dull and dull to bright as stars in an instant.
A pair of big, round, almond-shaped eyes, the ends of which were wet and red from crying, were originally like cats, but now they were looking at him eagerly, and they looked more like cats.
Yan Qi moved his fingers, couldn't help it, and rubbed her head again. Blow-dried hair is soft and fluffy, and feels great to the touch.
Yan Jinyue always felt that his method was like smashing some small animals, but she didn't care too much, because now, she also longed to be close to him.
She attributed her strange dependence to the fact that she was trembling when she met strange people along the way today, and she also met a bad guy when she got home at night, which was caused by excessive fear.
Moreover, as a qualified wife who was rescued by her husband after encountering gangsters, it is completely normal to rely on and want to be close to her husband.
She can also be regarded as an immersive experience without being OOC.
She found many excuses in her heart to support her, so Yan Jinyue calmly accepted her dependence on this strange husband whom she had only been with for three days.
And enjoy.
Yan Qi leaned down to be at eye level with her, and smoothed out her temple hair very gently, "Tomorrow I will ask someone to change the lock to a stronger one. From now on, I will try not to work overtime at night and come back to be with you."
"Yeah."
Yan Jinyue nodded and smiled slowly, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw what seemed to be a bloodstain on the right side of his face.
"There is blood on your face, are you injured?"
The man wiped the blood stain on the side of his face, his fingertips turned bright red, his black eyelashes were lowered, and he looked thoughtful.
He took out a handkerchief and wiped it directly.
"No, doesn't it hurt like this?"
Yan Jinyue anxiously checked his wounds, only to find that under the wiped blood, there was flawless white jade.
Yan Qi threw the handkerchief aside and held her shoulders, "It's not blood, it's ketchup. I probably got it accidentally when I had fried chicken for dinner."
Yan Jinyue stared blankly into his beautiful eyes, a little confused.
Ketchup?
But the color just now doesn’t look like it either...
No prizes for guessing what happened to the "bad guys"?
