"I was just cracking walnuts here, not saying anything, and that's sleepwalking?" Wen Rou chuckled lightly, her words laced with endless chill. "Who told you I have sleepwalking disorder, was it Su Binglan?"

"Guess!" Ye Chen laughed.

"Go to hell!" Wen Rou snapped, angered by his teasing. "You're being disrespectful to me like this, does Su Binglan know?"

"Yeah!" Ye Chen nodded. "She told me you like me, so she let me sleep in the living room, waiting for you to pretend to sleepwalk and confess!"

"Think before you speak, who likes you!" Wen Rou said.

"You don't like me, yet you pretend to sleepwalk to get close to me?"

"You don't like me, yet you're there seriously listening to me share my feelings?"

"You don't like me, yet you offer your hand for me to grab?"

"You must be very happy now because you achieved your goal, the godlike man finally held your hand!"

Having summed up Wen Rou's evidence of liking him, Ye Chen flashed a dashing smile, revealing a dazzling canine tooth.

"You bastard, let go of me, I'm going to kill you!"

Wen Rou wanted to fight Ye Chen, scratch his face till it bled, and then smash his brain with a hammer, but her hand was firmly grasped by Ye Chen, and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't pull away.

"Snap!"

The living room was bright, someone had turned on the crystal ceiling light, and Su Binglan stood there holding a blanket, somewhat stunned at the scene before her.

Su Binglan's aunt had arrived, leaving her feeling weak and needing a good night's rest, which is why she had sent Ye Chen to sleep in the living room.

However, the night was cool like water today, and Miss Su, worried that Ye Chen might feel cold at night, specially brought him a blanket.

Su Binglan walked into the living room, seeing it all dim and unlit, thinking Ye Chen had gone to sleep.

But, in the darkness, she seemed to see two figures, and with curiosity in her heart, she turned on the living room lights. The light flooded the spacious living room, and she saw the shocking scene before her eyes.

Ye Chen was holding Wen Rou's hand, and this scene... Su Binglan was stunned, what were they doing?

Su Binglan silently walked to the couch, set down the blanket she was holding, didn't take another look at them two, and left with light steps.

Throughout, Miss Su didn't utter a word, the whole process was about keeping a low profile.

Ye Chen and Wen Rou's bodies stiffened, and even after Su Binglan had left, they remained frozen in place.

Especially Wen Rou, Su Binglan's appearance made her feel inexplicably guilty.

"Let go of me!"

Su Binglan's graceful departure finally snapped Wen Rou back to reality, and she coldly said to Ye Chen.

"Okay!" Ye Chen let go, smiling sheepishly.

He understood Su Binglan's gesture, her low-profile demeanor clearly saying, "Ye Chen, you have to work hard, I can only help you this much!"

"You bastard, we were caught by Su Binglan and you don't even want to explain anything?" Wen Rou snapped.

"We didn't do anything, what's there to explain?" Ye Chen stood with integrity.

"Jerk!" Anger and murderous intent flashed in Wen Rou's eyes.

They hadn't done anything, but they had held hands, Wen Rou felt it was necessary to explain. Ye Chen, appearing unconcerned, infuriated her so much that she just stormed off.

...

Ye Chen sat all night, lost in thoughts, cultivating the whole night.

At dawn, Ye Chen awoke from his meditation, feeling neither tired nor depleted but rather, full of energy.

However, just as Ye Chen was about to freshen up, his phone suddenly rang.

"Hello." Ye Chen picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.

"Ye Chen, it's Li Yan!"

Li Yan's voice was low, seeming to suppress something, sounding rather strange.

"What happened?" A pang of anxiety surged in Ye Chen's heart.

"Lin Ying had an accident, I also had an accident, we all had accidents!" Fear tinged Li Yan's tone.
