Chapter 145: I Really Like You

Chapter 145: Chapter 145: I Really Like You

"You take the bed," Mu Yunlie said. "I’ll sleep on the couch."

Yan Qianyi had just settled onto the couch when she quickly replied, "Okay!"

She was really too tired. The bed here was not only more comfortable than the one in the Confinement Room but also much more comfortable than the one in her dormitory.

Yan Qianyi unceremoniously climbed onto the bed.

Previously at the Yan Family’s house, it had always been her letting Mu Yunlie take the bed while she herself slept on the couch.

It was time for a change.

And now that Mu Yunlie was awake, she wasn’t worried at all that he would pounce on her like a fierce tiger.

Soon, Yan Qianyi fell asleep.

Because she was so exhausted, her breathing in sleep was very deep.

Hearing her breathing, Mu Yunlie turned his head to look.

He saw her lying on the bed, her little face scrunched up and her lips puckered, occasionally smacking them.

Like a little pig deep in slumber.

As he watched, Mu Yunlie’s gaze gradually softened and the corners of his tightly pressed lips curled into a smile, tender beyond recognition.

"Mmm... delicious."

"Ah Lie... you’re really good..."

The sleepy murmurings drifted into Mu Yunlie’s ears, like something soft gently touching his heart.

He got up, quietly walked over to her, tiptoed and carefully picked up the blanket to cover her.

"I really like you..."

His hand paused, holding the blanket.

Was this sentence meant for him in her dreams?

...

The next day, Yan Qianyi slept until noon.

When she awoke, Mu Yunlie was nowhere to be seen.

If it weren’t for her being in this unfamiliar room, she would have suspected that everything that happened last night was just a dream.

Yan Qianyi sighed.

He was indeed an indifferent man, leaving without saying goodbye.

She stretched lazily and opened the door.

A soldier was standing outside the door, startling her.

Yan Qianyi glanced at the soldier, puzzled, "Is he standing guard here?"

Mu Yunlie really had significant influence!

The soldier explained, "Vice Officer Pei asked me to wait for you to wake up. He told me to inform you that he has spoken to your instructor already. You don’t have to participate in training for now, and you can rejoin when your injuries are healed."

Yan Qianyi nodded.

The soldier continued, "The medical room is also available for your use anytime. Just let the Military Doctor know if you need anything."

"Alright, thank you," Yan Qianyi said with a smile.

Although Mu Yunlie had left without any goodbye, he had arranged everything for her.

She hadn’t expected him to have such a thoughtful side.

She wasn’t naïve; the soldier said Vice Officer Pei had arranged it, but if Mu Yunlie hadn’t done something, she wouldn’t have received such good treatment.

After leaving the officer’s building, she sent a message to Mu Yunlie, "The medicine I prepared for you is at my house. I’ve left it with Aunt Xue. Remember to pick it up when you have time."

Mu Yunlie: "Awake?"

This time, Mu Yunlie’s reply came quickly, and before she could respond, he sent another message.

"Did the soldier at the door tell you everything?" he asked.

"Yes, he did. Thank you, and please thank Vice Officer Pei for me."

"No need to thank me."

Yan Qianyi closed the chat box, pulled at her sleeve to cover the wristband, and then headed towards the trainee dormitory.

The sunlight shone on her face, reflecting a bright, sparkling smile in her eyes.

"I don’t know if it’s just her imagination, but she felt that Mu Yunlie’s attitude toward her when he was sober seemed much better than before.

Hmph, little guy.

It must be that he has faced reality and knows that besides her, no one else can control the poison in his body. That’s why his attitude has changed for the better, right?

Yan Qianyi was in great spirits, now knowing that Xiao Ke wasn’t put to sleep.

So in the next few days of recuperation, she wouldn’t be bored, she could search online for the medicinal herbs she needed.

Meanwhile, Mu Yunlie was not in a good mood.

He had already returned home.

He stared at the chat box with Yan Qianyi for several minutes.

Seeing that she hadn’t replied yet, he frowned and asked Ah Chang, "I typed more words this time than last time. Why hasn’t she responded to my message?"

"Well... Master, sometimes, chat isn’t really about how many words you type."

Mu Yunlie’s face darkened, "Then last time you said she didn’t reply because I typed too few words!"

"..." Ah Chang thought for a moment.

How should he explain to the master that sometimes, chatting between a man and a woman needs a topic?

In the previous conversation, the master had ended with ’You’re welcome,’ so Madam had no need to reply anymore.

"Master, how about I download the book ’How to please a woman’ for you to read?"

"No need!" Mu Yunlie commanded, "Bring up the surveillance video of Yan Qianyi and Shi Xin wrestling that day. I want to watch it."

"All right," Ah Chang replied with some helplessness.

He was almost confused by his master.

To study how to please a woman well, he wouldn’t study.

But he wants to watch a video of women wrestling?

Could it be that the master wants to learn how to wrestle with Madam?

The surveillance video was projected onto the light screen.

In the video, Yan Qianyi walked up to Shi Xin, hadn’t even stabilized herself when suddenly, Shi Xin threw her over the shoulder and flung her out.

"Ouch, geez," Pei Yuexuan’s voice came from behind.

He entered the room and saw this scene, "This isn’t a demonstration, there isn’t even a protective mat on the floor. One could tell at a glance that it’s revenge."

Mu Yunlie’s expression was stern, he didn’t speak but just glanced coldly at Pei Yuexuan and turned his gaze back to the light screen.

Yan Qianyi was thrown to the ground by Instructor Shi once again.

From the video, it was clear that this throw was even more brutal than the previous one.

"Hiss..." Ah Chang gasped, "It looks so painful even to me."

Pei Yuexuan glanced at Ah Chang sideways, can an artificial intelligence feel pain?

"Pause," Mu Yunlie ordered, "Rewind, replay that last bit."

Hearing this, Pei Yuexuan’s gaze turned puzzled again toward Mu Yunlie.

Does the adult really enjoy watching others get abused?

Or his own beloved woman getting abused.

He suddenly started to doubt whether the adult had any feelings for Yan Qianyi.

Ah Chang rewound the video progress bar, then turned his head to the side.

Whimpering... He couldn’t bear to watch Madam getting beaten.

Madam was so pitiable.

"Pause!" Mu Yunlie suddenly shouted, "Enlarge."

Ah Chang followed the command, paused, and enlarged the image in the video, then exchanged puzzled glances with Pei Yuexuan beside him.

Mu Yunlie leaned slightly closer to the light screen, his piercing eyes tightly focused as if contemplating something.

After a moment, he gently nodded his head, "Continue."

The surveillance video continued to play.

When they saw Yan Qianyi swiftly throw Instructor Shi to the ground, Pei Yuexuan and Ah Chang shouted out in unison.

"Nice!"

It really felt like watching a fight match.
