Chapter 243: Chapter 194 - ’Non-human when casually woken up’ (First update) _2

"Did you understand?" Yue Qiao asked after a while.

Zhou Yicen nodded in a daze, "Understood ... I think." He’d really only grasped the gist of what she was saying; for the most part, his mind was in a state of chaos, struggling to reorder the broken fragments of speech he’d absorbed.

"Good." At these words, Yue Qiao moved her head away from his shoulder. Her icy but clear eyes focused on his handsome face, now so close to her own. Unaccountably, her cheeks began to turn pink.

Although this wasn’t her first time being so close to a man (since body contact was inevitable during training), it was the first time Yue Qiao blushed because of a man. The appearance of this third expression in her otherwise cold eyes—beyond her occasional light smile—was something worth remembering.

She stood on her tiptoes and slowly closed her eyes, and her rosy, glowly lips gradually moved closer to his face.

Unlike Yue Qiao, Zhou Yicen simply stared, dumbstruck, as Yue Qiao gradually got closer to him, anticipation blooming in his heart.

Zhou Yicen could clearly feel his heartbeat getting faster, as if it were about to leap out of his chest, uncontrollable.

But in the next moment, a certain light sparkled in his eyes.

Was he... in love with her? Yes, it must be love.

He liked her being close to him, didn’t like it when she placed him and others in the same position in her heart; he even wanted to be the only one who mattered to her.

Zhou Yicen knew, that was love, very strong love.

At this moment, their minds were blank.

In that instant, Zhou Yicen’s hands instinctively pulled Yue Qiao’s slender waist closer.

He was very happy that the person accompanying her was him today. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have realized his feelings for her, and perhaps the person close to her would be someone else. Even if that person was a brother, he wouldn’t like it.

No wonder he always hated seeing her get hurt and couldn’t help but feel heartache after she was wounded. It turns out that the oppressive feeling was love.

After a while, Zhou Yicen finally let go of Yue Qiao, opened his eyes, and feeling satisfied, he pushed her away, turned around, and ran towards the exit.

His face was filled with intense emotions.

Yue Qiao stood still in the room for a long time, completely motionless.

...

The police station.

When Mu Lin returned to the interrogation room, everything inside had returned to order, even the man in question had been made to look somewhat presentable. His face was still somewhat stunned, clearly still reeling from his scare. Likely, his reactions to snakes would be quite frantic from now on.

"Have you decided to confess?" When Mu Lin’s voice echoed in his ear, a flash of terror crossed the man’s stunned eyes. He struggled to get up, a testament to Mu Lin’s intimidation.

The man remained silent, not sure if he didn’t want to speak, didn’t dare to, or didn’t dare to talk to Mu Lin.

He slouched on the chair, his slender hands casually lying on the table, and Xiaoyin still squirmed there, actively hissing, bolstering Mu Lin’s threat.

Xiaoyin claimed that it was willing to do anything but "swim."

It couldn’t help it, it was too dirty and smelly, and most importantly, Mu Lin despised it. Unbearable.

But this time, Xiaoyin didn’t have to do anything. As long as it appeared in the man’s sight, it was enough to scare him into a pitiful, forgetful wreck.

"Snake... Go away... Go away..." The man’s eyes fell. When Xiaoyin’s figure entered his view, his madness intensified.

He never wanted to see a snake again, never again.

"If you don’t want to experience it again, I suggest you speak up. After all, our patience is limited," Xue Jianbing coldly reminded from the side.

Once more!

Upon hearing these words, Xiaoyin hissed at Xue Jianbing, successfully silencing him.

Indeed, none of the pets under Mu Lin’s care were something an ordinary person could understand.

Just now, there was a threat in that snake’s eyes, right?

Patting Xiaoyin on the head as if to comfort it, Mu Lin turned to the man, "The first two times were mere appetizers. If you want to continue resisting, I don’t mind serving you the main course." Mu Lin smiled and paused before continuing leisurely: "And I think my Xiaoyin would be more than willing to oblige."

Following Mu Lin’s words, Xiaoyin raised its head obediently, hissing, showing off a proud and spirited image; at this moment, Xiaoyin and Qiaozi look quite alike—characterized by their tsundere nature.

"I’ll speak." The man finally gave in, choosing to speak rather than experience the horror he had just gone through again, or possibly something even worse. He’d rather choose death.

In this man’s eyes, Mu Lin wasn’t human at all.

Of course not. Saving people, killing people, tormenting people—these were all Mu Lin’s excellent skills. Ordinary people couldn’t learn them.

Standing in the monitoring room, Zhang Chen’s heart fluctuated with every up and down of Mu Lin’s actions below. His heart rose and fell, he was restless, and he felt nauseous.

He didn’t want to experience this again. This feeling was even more unbearable than seeing the rotting corpses.

Despite the situation, Zhang Chen genuinely admired and... feared Mu Lin from the bottom of his heart.

Regardless of what happens, Mu Lin must not be offended.

Mu Lin stated that she was actually a very casual person, and only occasionally she would get casual in a way that was inhuman.

Really! There is no need to be afraid!
