Chapter Thirty-Five

  "...... is you?" Wang Shaokuo completely did not dare believe his eyes, even more did not dare believe Shen Lue would suddenly appear here.

  And... your skills are actually this good!?

  Wang Shaokai can be sure that she has made all preparations, but in an instant, she changed from being proactive to passive.

  Shen Lüe relaxed his grip and closed the door, chuckling softly: "What's going on here, hmm?"

  Wang Shaokuo stared at her in a daze, his mouth slightly open for a long time before he said: "You... how did you get back to your own home without using a key?"

  Shen replied nonchalantly: "I have a key, didn't I give it to you?"

  "Then...then...can't you just knock on the door?" Wang Shaokuo asked helplessly. He thought to himself: Is having a key really a good reason?

  "Why do you need to knock on the door if you can just come in?" Shen Yue changed his shoes by himself, walked straight into the living room and turned on all the lights. He turned around with a smile at the corner of his mouth, sizing up Wang Shaokuo, saying: "Not bad thinking, turning off the lights and turning up the TV volume, this can be a good way to hide yourself. But..." He deliberately paused at the key point.

  "What was that?" Wang Shaokuo asked anxiously, she really didn't dare to believe that the moment was real, and must have exposed herself before, otherwise it wouldn't be possible...

  Although he thought so, Wang Shaokuo also knew that there are people outside of people and heavens beyond the sky. Compared to Shen Lue's background, she was at best just a detective.

  Shen Yue turned down the TV volume, with a playful tone: "Did you have bacon cheese for dinner? It's a bit burnt. The flavor has betrayed you." As she spoke, she took off her outerwear and hung it on the sofa, revealing a black tight-fitting vest that clung to her sensual curves.

  Wang Shaokuo stared blankly at the curvaceous woman in front of him, who had just come up with such a reason.

  Who would believe it!

  Moreover...the key point is that this woman's sex appeal is really over the top.

  Nowhere near 35 years old!

  If it weren't for believing in the existence of science, Wang Shaokui would suspect that she was an old monster who had lived for a thousand or eight hundred years.

  But then again, would an old monster be so beautiful?

  Wang Shaokuo completely forgot what he was just tangled up about...

  Shen Yue saw Wang Shaokui standing foolishly in the same place and asked, "Shaokui, aren't you welcoming me?" With a casual flick of his hair, he walked upstairs with the wind, and another voice came: "I'll take a bath first."

  Wang Shaokuo blinked her eyes and shook off those unnecessary thoughts. In her heart, she felt bitter, facing Si Luochen and Shen Lue, she hated that she was always half a beat slower than them.

  "Following Shen Yue's words, staring at the staircase, she replied: 'This is your home, how can you not be welcome? It's just... I didn't expect you to come back, have you handled everything on your side?'"

  The bathroom door was closed with a "click", and the problem seemed to have sunk into the depths of the ocean, without getting any response.

  Wang Shaokai: "......"

  Is... worried about her and specially came back?

  Ever since learning that Shen Lüe saved Si Luo Chen at the rehabilitation center, Wang Shao Ke couldn't understand many things and even doubted the direction of his previous investigation. Wasn't Shen Lüe's target Si Luo Chen? The rehabilitation center was her place, so the people who caught Si Luo Chen were naturally also from the rehabilitation center.

  What happened in between?

  What happened again? Is it something Wang Shaokui didn't notice?

  So... is Shen Lue actually an enemy or a friend?

  If she was a friend, why did she appear that year? If she was an enemy, then why did she save Si Luo Chen? Wang Shao Ke's mind flashed with countless possibilities in an instant, but he still couldn't be sure.

  Closing his eyes, everything was her smile. Wang Shaokuo shook his head hard, originally wanting to ask her face-to-face, but seeing this strange and enchanting face of hers, his mouth felt rusty, unable to utter a word.

  Sighing softly, I finally understand what a femme fatale is.

  But then I thought about it and it doesn't seem right, I'm not to blame either!

  After taking a bath and changing into casual clothes, Shen Luo wiped his hair and walked in front of Wang Shaokai, smiling: "Are you planning to stand in the living room all night, huh?"

  Wang Shaokuo came back to himself and realized he had been standing there from just now until now.

  Shen Lue's mouth curved up, he leaned in close to her and sniffed, saying with a playful tone: "You don't even plan on taking a shower after being covered in bacon grease?"

  Wang Shaokuo's face turned red instantly: "......"

  Just as Shen Lue was about to say something, his phone buzzed. He took out his phone and his expression returned to its usual calmness: "Go take a bath first, I'll handle some things."

  Every time I see Shen Lüe staring at her phone with no expression, I think she's about to leave again. Has she received another mission?

  "Is everything all right?"

  Shen Yue slightly raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he shook his head.

  Wang Shaokuo nodded and didn't say anything else. He went upstairs and walked into the bathroom, where the fragrance of a recent bath still lingered.

  She pushed aside the mist in front of the mirror, unbuttoned and took off her shirt. A white camisole wrapped around her slender waist, a thin shoulder sloping down to a beautiful butterfly bone. She picked up the white shirt in her hand and deliberately covered her nose to smell it carefully, frowning slightly with an expression of incomprehension: "There's no scent at all..."

  Why can Shen Yue not only smell the burnt smell, but also the cheese smell? Shaking his head without thinking much, he put the shirt aside. Facing the mirror, he lifted up the white vest and put it in his mouth, then pulled down his pants a bit, furrowed his brow and slowly peeled off the band-aid on the wound.

  This band-aid is changed every three days, which makes Wang Shaokuo inconvenient even when taking a bath.

  Just as he was peeling off half of the tape, the bathroom door opened and Wang Shaokai saw Shen Lue in the mirror, momentarily forgetting what he was doing.

  Thinking something was wrong, Wang Shaokuo bit his tongue and asked inexplicably: "What's wrong?"

  Shen Yue didn't respond, slightly lowering his head, steadily gazing at her from the mirror, the ink color in his eyes spreading out, blending into a soft and gentle mist.

  The two of them stared at each other in the blurry mirror, and Wang Shaokuo blinked, suddenly realizing her current predicament. Her entire face turned red all the way to her ears, and just as she was about to put down the back of her shirt, she heard: "Don't move." Shen Lue's words were like an imperial decree, and Wang Shaokuo really stopped moving.

  "Let me see." He casually closed the door and walked up to Wang Shaokui.

  "Don't look... it's just healed..." Wang Shaokuo said with a embarrassed face as he turned around to cover up.

  Shen Yue didn't listen at all, stretched out his hand to turn Wang Shaokuo's body around to face him: "I'll help you take it off." After speaking, he bent down and stared at the half-covered wound on Wang Shaokuo's forehead, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  Although I was worried when Luo told me that Wang Shaokuo was injured, Luo also said that there was no danger to his life. Now looking at this deep and long scar, Shen Lue's dark eyes are as sharp and cold as a knife.

  Hearing and seeing are two different things.

  It's imaginable that if this knife were a little deeper, the person in front of you might not be able to see anymore.

  "...It's going to be very...very ugly, right? The doctor said it will leave a scar." Seeing Shen Lue just staring at the wound without moving, she asked hesitantly.

  Shen Lue heard the sound and raised his head, a faint smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and he shook his head lightly: "It's not ugly, I'll get a tattoo here later, it won't affect wearing a bikini."

  Wang Shaokuo was taken aback and said awkwardly: "Why wear a bikini?"

  "Shaokuo's figure is so good, it would be a waste if she didn't wear something sexy!"

  Wang Shaokai: "......"

  Shen Yue immediately unzipped Wang Shaokuo's pants and pulled them down a bit, the movement making people feel the icy tips of his fingers brushing against the waist, causing Wang Shaokuo to tense up.

  "Don't be afraid, I have experience, it won't hurt much."

  At this time, this extremely ordinary conversation made Wang Shaokuo not calm. The uncontrollable flash of the kissing scene in the warehouse last time, this soul-stirring recollection, made Wang Shaokuo's face even hotter, and the wet and cool environment in the bathroom made people's mouths dry.

  Wang Shaokuo, Wang Shaokuo, you're so competitive!!!!!

  "Hiss——"

  The stinging sensation from tearing off the band-aid on his abdomen temporarily suppressed Wang Shaokuo's wandering thoughts.

  Shen quickly and gently removed the bandage, throwing it into the trash can. He stood up straight and said softly, "I have specialized waterproof bandages and medicine here that are better than what you'd find in a hospital. Wait for me for a moment, don't move around." Just then, they heard the sound of rapid footsteps outside the door, and indeed, it wasn't long before someone came back.

  To make it more convenient for Shen Lue to apply the medicine, Wang Shaokuo supported himself with both hands on the dresser and slightly arched his body. Feeling a coolness on the wound, he applied the ointment and stuck on new gauze, but Shen Lue still didn't get up.

  Just as he thought so, Wang Shaokuo was about to lower his head and take a look when a cool and soft kiss suddenly landed on the waist.

  This sudden movement startled Wang Shaokuo, causing his body to tremble. His arm almost couldn't support him, and his foot softened, nearly slipping, but he was caught by Shen Lue's arm and managed to steady himself.

  Shen's lips lightly and gently caressed the tape around her mouth, moving from her waist to a curved shape like a flowing stream, spreading out little by little.

  I didn't expect this woman to play the rogue at this time. However, thinking back over the past few years, I've always been taken advantage of by her...

  Wanted to speak out to stop but involuntarily let out a low hum of "hmm", startled in her heart, how could she make such a sound.

  "This numbness... so itchy..." This kind of tingling sensation had already made Wang Shaokuo start to stutter, subconsciously wanting to push her away.

  Shen Yue didn't respond, only holding onto her unscrupulous hands, his lips lightly falling on the scar on Wang Shaokuo's arm. Such gentle caress made Wang Shaokuo feel like a raging flame was burning in her lower abdomen, her body feeling like it was crawling with ants, so unbearable.

  Lips slid along the arm to the collarbone, lightly contained in the mouth, and continued up to wander back and forth between Shaokuo's neck.

  "Shen... Shen Lue..." Wang Shaokuo begged for mercy, tilting his head to one side, his eyebrows furrowed.

  At first, the cold lips gradually warmed up, and the heat slowly spread out. The entire bathroom had already become scorching hot. Shen Lüe kissed all the way to Wang Shaokuo's earlobe, and his lips were so hot that they almost melted her.

  Wang Shaokuo's breathing became increasingly labored, and with great effort, he managed to regain a shred of sanity. He used all his strength to push Shen Lue away, but his legs gave out from under him, and he ended up pinning Shen Lue against the wall.

  Two faces were almost touching, Wang Shaokuo's nose was almost against Shen Lue's face. At this time, Shen Lue's jade-like complexion had turned pink, exceptionally enchanting, and Wang Shaokuo breathed softly, looking infatuated.

  With both arms propping up Shen Lue on either side, Wang Shaokuo, who was originally in the dominant position, had a red face and stuttered: "You..."

  My mind keeps thinking of the places where Shen Lu had just kissed me, and they are all her wounded areas. Is this representing heartache for her?

  Shen Lu tilted his head, with an innocent expression, and asked: "What about me?"

  "I..." He suppressed his breath and continued.

  Is this heartache what you've been thinking in your mind?

  "Shen Yue is very different from you." The words of Si Luo Chen flashed through his mind.

  Is it really different?

  "What's wrong with you?" Shen asked again with a slight smile.

  "You..."

  Shen slightly narrowed his eyes, and his smile grew even more: "What about me?"

  "Alas..." Wang Shaokuo was so angry he could have smashed his head against the wall, why was his mouth so stupid!

  "What's wrong with you?" Shen slightly couldn't help but let out a smile, embracing Wang Shaokuo into his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder, his expression restored to its usual state, speaking in a low and serious tone: "I don't like it when you get hurt, Shaokuo."

  Wang Shaokai: "......"

  "Lu told me that you were injured protecting Luo Chen. And also said that there was no danger to your life, at the time I just thought you had a minor injury..."

  Shen Yue's hand slid to Wang Shaoke's waist and suddenly tightened around her, saying softly: "Seeing the place where you were hurt makes me feel terrible."

  In the few years of contact with Shen Lue, Wang Shaokuo knew that Shen Lue's character was not as it seemed on the surface. She was a woman who sealed herself up, like a treasure buried underground. Her true self was locked in a box.

  Such a woman can say such things, truly precious. Wang Shaokuo's arms rose, embracing Shen Lue, with a smile seeping from the corners of his mouth.

  Shen Lue raised his head and saw that Wang Shaokuo's black eyes had a few hints of smile, softly asking: "What are you laughing at?"

  I'm just happy.

  Shen slightly nodded: "What's there to be happy about?"

  Wang Shaokuo moved his lips, but he was too embarrassed to answer.

  "Still happy even after getting hurt, is there something wrong with your brain too? Hmm?" Shen asked seriously.

  Wang Shaokuo immediately defended himself: "It's not like that... I'm clearly happy you're concerned about me!"

  After finishing speaking, a smile seeped from the corner of the woman's mouth, and Wang Shaokuo was embarrassed and stunned there.

  This woman... is thoroughly bad.

  In the dark eyes like a night sky, a misty water vapor, Shen slightly stared at Wang Shaokuo and asked in a low voice: "Shaokuo... do you like me caring about you?"

  Wang Shaokuo's heart suddenly tightened, as if something was gripping it tightly.

  What does she want to express?

  Shen Yue's hand hooked around the woman in front of him, pulling her into his arms, and asked: "Do you want me to... be heartbroken for you?

  Wang Shaokai: "......"
