654 Anticipation

After receiving Ling Yun's telepathy, Tie Xiaohu tossed the car keys over. As if he had eyes behind his back, Ling Yun caught the keys securely in his hands.

He told Xu Bingyan and Yanzi to get in the car. Ling Yun drove the car personally. Starting up the engine, he turned a curve quickly under the watch of numerous gazes and disappeared into the distance.

"Ling Yun, you… you're really amazing now! You're so cool!" Yanzi sat in the backseat. She was so excited that she couldn't even sit still. Both her eyes shone as she spoke excitedly.

"I was just taking care of some trash. What's so amazing about that… Uh, I'll send the two of you home. Who's first?" Ling Yun smiled in a carefree manner as he asked casually.

Yanzi glanced carefully at Xu Bingyan, who was by her side. She thought that there was no way she could blatantly act as Sis Xu's third wheel. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to taste Sis Xu's delicious stuffed dumplings in the future.

She turned her gaze to the side as she said, "Drop me off first. I live close by. Turn that corner, and we'll be there."

In order to get to work easily, Yanzi lived in the district near the Speedy Internet Cafe. She wasn't exactly lying, she wanted to get out first.

"Yanzi…" Xu Bingyan bit her lip as she glanced at Yanzi. She wanted her to stay with her tonight. After all, she had taken a beating because of her internet cafe and was definitely reeling in shock.

Yanzi and Xu Bingyan saw each other day and night, and they were relatives. Naturally, she knew what Xu Bingyan was planning. However, she ignored it. She asked Ling Yun to drop her off first.

After Yanzi got out, Ling Yun said happily, "Yanzi, shall I have a cup of tea at your place?"

Yanzi stared at Ling Yun's mesmerizing face that would make anyone give up their lives. She responded cheerfully, "You want to have some tea? Big Sister Xu's place has great tea. Go ahead and have some tea there. I live in a small apartment, so I don't even have a cup of warm water for you…"

Ling Yun really liked Yanzi's straightforwardness and eloquence. Hearing this, he couldn't help but let out a loud laugh. However, Yanzi continued, "Big Sister Xu, doesn't your computer have some problems? Since Ling Yun's sending you back tonight, why don't you have him take a look at it?"

The last time Ling Yun took a huge beating, he stayed at Xu Bingyan's house for a night. However, when Xu Bingyan invited him over to reinstall the software on her computer, Ling Yun used every excuse possible to reject her. This was something Xu Bingyan hated him for.

"You didn't have to say that!" Xu Bingyan saw how Yanzi brought up such an old issue and couldn't help but turn red.

"I'm leaving! The weather tonight is great, it's perfect for a wonderful, passionate night…"

Yanzi turned to leave as she intentionally left this sentence behind. She laughed aloud as she ran off.

Ling Yun smiled casually, understanding Yanzi's intentions. However, he pretended not to hear it. Instead, he asked Xu Bingyan gently, "Big Sister Xu, how do we get to your house?"

This was completely shocking!

Xu Bingyan froze instantly! This… how could Ling Yun not know how to get to her house? How could this be possible?

"You… if you don't want to send me back, you can tell me straight. You don't have to be so roundabout about it. I can go home on my own."

Xu Bingyan's heart sank as her beautiful face turned pale white. Her expression revealed nothing but anger and bitterness. Obviously, she misunderstood Ling Yun.

Ling Yun thought that it was over. Could it be that the past him knew where Xu Bingyan's house was? This was definitely a huge misunderstanding!

He had no choice and could only explain it to her. Thinking carefully, Ling Yun turned around and looked at Xu Bingyan, his eyes sparkling. "Big Sister Xu, I won't lie to you. There's something I've never told you. That is, the last time I brought someone to look at the Speedy Internet Cafe's security cameras, they actually wanted to kill me. They found someone to cause a car accident. Luckily, I escaped safely. Thankfully, I only sustained a minor concussion. So, there are a lot of things I don't remember very well anymore…"

Xu Bingyan was thoroughly shocked!

"What? You were in a car accident? Why didn't I know about this?" Xu Bingyan suddenly recalled the night Ling Yun was beaten up. The words he had uttered at the time, was it referring to that? He knew that someone wanted to kill him?

After her initial shock, she felt heartache. Xu Bingyan forgot her rage quickly. Instead, she asked anxiously, "I really didn't know about this. You, you're fine now, aren't you? Did you get hurt anywhere else?"

Ling Yun said that he had sustained a minor concussion. However, as far as the current Ling Yun was concerned, his head was definitely completely fine, aside from the fact that he couldn't remember some things. So, what left Xu Bingyan more concerned was whether Ling Yun had hurt himself in other places.

Ling Yun looked at Xu Bingyan's worried expression and laughed. "Big Sister Xu, you've forgotten that I can even revive the dead. Even if I hurt myself, I would have recovered long ago… look at me now, do I look like I'm hurt anywhere?"

Xu Bingyan was panicking. She had forgotten about this fact. In an instant, her heart calmed like a rock landing on the ground. Her slender, white hand clasped her chest as she said, "It's good if you're fine. I was really scared for a moment there…"

Then, she noticed that Ling Yun's perverted gaze was fixed on her collar. In an instant, her face turned red, but she didn't say anything.

Brat, you're much more audacious than before… Xu Bingyan thought to herself. However, in the next instant, she thought about those stunning beauties by Ling Yun's side. She couldn't help but heave a sigh.

This was a complicated but magical feeling.

"Hehe, Big Sister Xu, can you tell me where you live now? I'll send you back right away."

After a few minutes, Ling Yun drove into a quiet, elegant residential district. This place wasn't too far away from the Speedy Internet Cafe. It was about seven to eight stops away. At night, there wasn't any traffic either, so they arrived in no time.

Ling Yun stopped the car on the block near Xu Bingyan's unit, and the two of them got out of the car. Looking at the stairs, Xu Bingyan retracted her gaze immediately. She didn't dare to make eye contact with Ling Yun. A strange feeling seemed to hover in between the two of them, expanding itself quickly.

Of course, Ling Yun spoke first. "Big Sister Xu, if you can get home yourself, I'll be leaving first…"

"Don't…"

Xu Bingyan was anxious. She stopped Ling Yun immediately. Her usual sharp, ice-cold gaze lost its edge. Instead, her eyes had an indescribable charm as she glanced at Ling Yun.

One had to say that Xu Bingyan was indeed stunning. On top of the scare from before, her helpless pale face made one sympathize with her further. Ling Yun's heart quivered.

"I'll send you up!" On such a beautiful night, only a fool would have returned without sending her home.

"En…" Xu Bingyan coughed lightly. Her voice was as low as an ant's cry. She had a beautiful voice, like a cat that was purring for spring. It was very attractive.

So, the two of them walked into the block. Taking the elevator, they arrived at the 16th floor. This region was very high-class. Each floor only had one unit, and it was impossibly quiet.

"Hurry and come in, it's really hot tonight…"

Qingshui City was a sauna now. Every night, it was at least 96 degrees. It was indeed very hot. When they were in the car, there was air-conditioning, so they didn't notice. However, once they got out, Xu Bingyan was so hot that sweat was dripping down her body continuously. Her underwear clung tightly onto her body, and she was feeling sticky all over.

"Oh, Big Sister Xu's place is huge…" Once Ling Yun stepped inside, he gave the furniture a once-over as he complimented it casually.

Her place was indeed huge, covering a total of 140 square meters. Xu Bingyan cleaned the place thoroughly. At the same time, it was very cozy. Unfortunately, for the past five or six years, she had been the only one in this apartment.

Looking at Ling Yun, Xu Bingyan couldn't help but laugh aloud. The apartment regained its liveliness again as she said, "It's not the first time you've been here either. You can't even remember this, really…"

Xu Bingyan remembered that the last time Ling Yun came, he said the exact same thing. However, even though everything was the same, he was a different person.

Once they shut the door and walked into the house, Xu Bingyan turned the air-conditioning on. Then, her face still red, she said to Ling Yun, "Why don't you sit here for a while? You can get anything to drink from the fridge. I'll have a bath first…"

Xu Bingyan was bullied today. She had suffered utter humiliation as she struggled endlessly. With her tension, agitation, and embarrassment, she perspired a lot. As a person who prioritized cleanliness, she couldn't take it anymore.

"Oh, Big Sister Xu, do what you need to. You don't have to take care of me…" Ling Yun replied casually as he began to read the magazine on the sofa. Tonight, he didn't have anything to do. He was very free.

There were only the two of them in the apartment tonight, a man and woman under the same roof. However, Xu Bingyan wanted to take a shower first. Her heart pounded nervously, as if the hooves of a deer were running across it. Her cheeks burned so hotly that they were even redder than the flashing red of a traffic light. Her heart was in complete turmoil. However, she had a certain level of anticipation as well.

Allowing Ling Yun to come into her apartment already signified a certain level of anticipation. However, Xu Bingyan couldn't say it aloud.

Xu Bingyan walked into the bathroom anxiously. First, she locked the door tightly. However, thinking twice, she unlocked it again as if she were possessed.

Then, she began undressing comfortably. The sounds of the water from the shower resounded as the heat from the shower created a light mist. Her beautiful silhouette was blurred yet charming, glowing seductively.

The magazine Ling Yun picked up was a fashion magazine. It introduced the latest fashion and accessories. Everything was related to women. With a quick flip, Ling Yun finished reading it. He couldn't help but smile and mutter to himself, "So, Big Sister Xu is interested in things like that. I might as well give her a set of these clothes…"

"Women are really troublesome, they spend such a long time just to take a shower…" Ling Yun grumbled a little before getting up. He wanted to turn on the television and see what was on.

It was then that a loud shout came from the bathroom, followed by a loud thud!

"Urgh—!"

Obviously, Xu Bingyan must have fallen. Ling Yun frowned a little. With a flash of his body, he appeared in front of the bathroom. He was about to push the door open when he pulled his hand back.

Ling Yun didn't want to use his divine sense or his Yin-Yang Eye on Xu Bingyan, so he could only stand outside the door and ask anxiously, "Big Sister Xu, you… are you okay?"

The sound of Xu Bingyan breathing heavily came from the bathroom. She gasped in pain and said, "Tsk… I, I fell and injured my hip. I can't move!"

Of all places to injure, she hurt her hip. Ling Yun asked anxiously, "Then… what should I do?"

"Hurry and come in! I'm dying from the pain!"

"But… that isn't a good idea, is it?" Ling Yun's heart quivered as he swallowed with a dry throat.

"You… hurry up and get in here already!" Xu Bingyan was dying of anxiety and began yelling at Ling Yun.

He was truly a huge blockhead. She had even used an injury as an excuse for him, but he refused to take the hint!
