969: Beautiful

Beautiful

Initially, Zhong Nuannuan thought of asking Chi Yang to demonstrate his supernatural power. However, she found Big Brother Chi Yang asleep as she was just about to suggest that.1

Looking down at the man's peaceful sleeping face, Zhong Nuannuan smiled gently.

His angular and exquisite facial features made him look like a king of ancient times who slumbered for a long time. Even if one could not see his gem-like eyes that were as bright as stars, they could still easily get swallowed up in them.

Just like that, Nuannuan watched him quietly and enjoyed the calm rhythm of his breathing while listening to the drizzling winter rain outside. Everything was so serene and peaceful.

Suddenly, a burst of ringing from the phone shattered the silence in the room. Chi Yang's eyes snapped open.

Nuannuan realized that when Big Brother Chi Yang opened his eyes in alarm, the brain cells that had quietly shrunk immediately transformed into their unusual form, and there were a lot more of them now.

It was Leng Jinpeng who called Chi Yang.

After listening to Leng Jinpeng, Chi Yang frowned and said, "I'll be right there."

"What's wrong? Are you going to the Commander-in-chief's department?"

Chi Yang nodded. "Yes. Qu Mingyi committed suicide."

"…"

"Sleep first. It shouldn't take long."

Zhong Nuannuan nodded gloomily.

Two hours later, Chi Yang brought the chill of the weather along with him as he came home. Zhong Nuannuan immediately turned on the hot water in the bathroom for him to take a shower.

However, Chi Yang hugged Nuannuan tightly instead.

Leaning against Chi Yang's chest and listening to his heartbeat that was different from before, Nuannuan said gloomily, "Big Brother Chi Yang."

"Mmhmm."

"What's wrong?"

After a long while, Chi Yang said, "I woke you up."

"I wasn't asleep, to begin with."

Thinking about the chill on his body, Chi Yang quickly let go of Nuannuan. "I'll take a shower first."

"Mmhmm."

Looking at the gloomy Chi Yang, Nuannuan felt her heart ache.

Qu Mingyi really deserved to die. He was a mole and a traitor when he was alive and caused the deaths of so many people. He even tried to kill Big Brother Chi Yang time and time again. Now that he was dead, he still had to create such a huge commotion to make Big Brother Chi Yang unhappy.

To Nuannuan, Qu Mingyi had tried to kill Big Brother Chi Yang and Grandpa Chi time and time again. That made him an enemy in Nuannuan's eyes and deserved to die. Now that he was dead, the only emotion she reserved for him was relief. She would not have any lingering emotions nor sorrow for his death because of their past interactions.

Perhaps… perhaps this was the loss of her sentimentality caused by her years as a mercenary.

However, she did not think there was anything wrong with this loss at all.

Chi Yang came out from the shower. The hot shower made him feel warm all over, and there was the fragrance of the shower gel on him.

Chi Yang crawled under the covers, and Nuannuan snuggled closer to him. He took Nuannuan into his arms and pressed her head against his chest.

"Big Brother Chi Yang, are you happy? Why? Is it because Qu Mingyi's dead? He was your enemy and had tried to kill you multiple times. Previously, he was merely feigning civility with you and Uncle Leng. Why are you still so sad after he died?"

Zhong Nuannuan did not know how to persuade Big Brother Chi Yang, so she could only try to understand his perspective.

After a long while, Chi Yang said gloomily, "I'm not sad because of his death. He died because he had nothing to live for anymore. His wife and child were both dead, and there was no meaning in him living alone in this world. So, when they interrogated him again today, he noticed there was a cutter that they used to cut paper bags on the table outside. He knocked the interrogator aside and slid his carotid artery with the cutter."
