Supernatural Insight Eyes-Chapter 17 - 00 comes to the door

17: 0017 comes to the door

It wasn’t fully bright yet when a figure slowly made her way into Ye Qiu’s room.

“So this guy needs to sleep too!” The tiptoeing figure let out a breath and a sneaky smile appeared on her face.

This person was none other than Shen Mengchen.

As for why she was here?

It was because Shen Mengchen had insomnia, all due to Ye Qiu.

After frolicking around for most of the night, Shen Mengchen had fallen asleep for a bit but then couldn’t sleep anymore, her head filled with images of Ye Qiu appearing in her most dangerous moment.

They say every girl harbors a prince charming in her heart, and Shen Mengchen, as the future heir of the Longjia Group and Shen Tianlong’s precious pearl, lived a life of luxury and had everything handed to her the minute she desired it.

Such a princess-like Shen Mengchen had her own pride.

However, a girl is still a girl, and she too had her ideal partner.

She never believed that she would fall in love with anyone, yet Ye Qiu’s appearance that day stirred something within her heart.

“I can’t be falling for this guy, right?

Impossible…

impossible…” Shen Mengchen quickly shook her head, scared by the thought that had suddenly surfaced in her mind.

How could she fancy the bearded man who didn’t even like to shave?

“I should hate him!” The more she thought about how her attitude towards Ye Qiu had softened a lot since he rescued her from her kidnappers, the more Shen Mengchen felt she was changing too fast.

How could she show such a favorable demeanor towards that man so quickly?

“This definitely isn’t love, hmm…

he’s just a bodyguard, protecting me is his duty.”

“Deep down, I hate him.”

To affirm this idea and to rid herself of the improved impression she had of Ye Qiu, Shen Mengchen felt she should do something bad to Ye Qiu, to lessen her fondness for him.

That’s why Shen Mengchen was in Ye Qiu’s room, as she wanted to prank him, getting him hopping mad, thereby erasing the truth of her sudden change of attitude from the day before.

Shen Mengchen held a lighter, silently pacing over to Ye Qiu’s side, watching the man who lacked any proper sleeping posture, the image of a master instantly vanishing without a trace.

The Ye Qiu before her, sprawled out with limbs akimbo, snoring away, clothes carelessly thrown on the floor—if she didn’t know he was the bodyguard her father had hired for her, based on his current posture alone, she wouldn’t believe Ye Qiu could fulfill the duties of a bodyguard.

A master should at least look the part, even in sleep they should stand out!

Shen Mengchen’s mind was filled with mischief, thinking about how to play her prank on Ye Qiu.

Soon, an idea came to her, “If I take all this guy’s clothes away, hehe, let’s see how he gets out of the house.” Shen Mengchen’s gaze landed on those incredibly ugly clothes.

She quietly picked up the pants from the floor.

Yep, not leaving a single piece for him, then her eyes moved to the T-shirt covering Ye Qiu.

Just as Shen Mengchen was about to remove the T-shirt from Ye Qiu, suddenly she froze.

She felt her cheeks heat up and silently cursed, “Tsk.”

Turning her head away harshly, Shen Mengchen grabbed the clothes and was about to leave, muttering, “Hmph, this is your punishment, all the rotten men in the world are the same!”

But at that moment, Ye Qiu suddenly moved, his hand landed on Shen Mengchen, startling her into exclaiming aloud.

“Hey, why are you in my room?” Ye Qiu interrogated.

Knowing she had no excuse, Shen Mengchen huffed, and retorted forcefully, “This is my house, I can be wherever I want to be.” And with that, she quickly ran out.

Er…

Such a sound argument, Ye Qiu rolled his eyes helplessly and went back to sleep.

The small interlude that occurred between them didn’t disturb Shangguan Hong and Niu Yinyin.

However, during breakfast, Shen Mengchen was extremely unfriendly towards Ye Qiu, leaving Shangguan Hong and Niu Yinyin stunned and wondering what kind of drama had unfolded between them.

Wasn’t everything fine yesterday?

How had it turned into this by today?

Shen Mengchen couldn’t explain her actions from yesterday and sulked on her own.

After having a bit of congee, Shen Mengchen stormed off to school, and Ye Qiu crammed four buns into his mouth before quickly following her.

“Hehe, no worries, the girl’s ‘relative’ has visited, so she’s in a bad mood,” Ye Qiu explained to Shangguan Hong before leaving.

After the two had disappeared, only Shangguan Hong and Niu Yinyin were left in the room.

“Sister Shangguan, I know what happened.

When I got up this morning to go to the bathroom, I saw Mengchen slipping into Ye Qiu’s room,” Niu Yinyin said with a mouthful of grease, revealing a different insight.

“You little kid, don’t talk nonsense!” Shangguan Hong glared at Niu Yinyin.

Her brows furrowed slightly, she sighed, but said nothing.

Not long after, Shangguan Hong’s phone rang suddenly.

Seeing the name displayed on the phone, her eyes showed a hint of disgust, but she still answered it.

…

At school, Shen Mengchen ignored Ye Qiu all day.

Knowing it was because of the incident that morning, Ye Qiu didn’t approach her to invite further displeasure.

In truth, the morning’s incident wasn’t entirely Ye Qiu’s fault, although he had pretended to be asleep on purpose, just to scare Shen Mengchen a bit.

He hadn’t expected her reaction to be so extreme.

“Ah, the mind of a woman is deep and unfathomable like the ocean, erupting like a tigress when agitated, truly something not to mess with,” Ye Qiu sighed.

He had thought that saving Shen Mengchen might have improved his image in her heart, but it seemed there wasn’t much change at all.

When it was nearly time to leave school, Ye Qiu noticed Chu Yao occasionally glancing his way, sensing she had something to say to him.

However, considering he had to protect Shen Mengchen, he didn’t approach her proactively.

“Hmph, don’t come within ten meters of me,” Shen Mengchen pouted.

Ye Qiu, speechless, could only slow down and accompany Shen Mengchen back home.

The two, one in front of the other, had just left the school gate and hadn’t gone far when suddenly a car blocked their way.

Ye Qiu was slightly startled and thought, “Huh, what does this beauty want?”

The beauty who got out of the car was naturally Lin Qiao’er, the investigator of the campus corpse case a few days earlier.

She approached them, her gaze briefly skimming over Shen Mengchen before settling on Ye Qiu.

“You’re Ye Qiu, right?

Please come with me,” she said.

Lin Qiao’er took out her credentials, showed them briefly, and watched Ye Qiu with a serious expression.

“You’re looking for me?” Ye Qiu was taken aback before spreading his hands with a smile, “May I know what the officer wants with me?

I’m a law-abiding citizen.

You’re not here to arrest me, are you?”

“Come with me, I’ve got questions for you,” Lin Qiao’er said, frowning slightly at the youth’s carefree demeanor before her.

If it wasn’t for Ye Qiu being involved with the mysterious corpse case she was investigating, she wouldn’t bother initiating a conversation with someone like him.

“Ye Qiu, they’ve come to you, better just go with them obediently.

You probably haven’t done anything good, otherwise, they wouldn’t come looking for you,” Shen Mengchen said with a cold laugh, finding Ye Qiu’s predicament quite satisfying.

“Miss, seems like I can’t avoid it.

But, for your safety, you’ll have to come with me,” Ye Qiu said indifferently.

“Hmph, fine, let’s go.

I want to know what bad thing you’ve done,” Shen Mengcheng snorted and got into the car first, leaving Lin Qiao’er somewhat flustered.

“Officer, let’s go,” Ye Qiu shrugged his shoulders and then also got into the car.

With a slam of the car door, the vehicle quickly vanished from the school’s entrance, catching the attention of many, who were left wondering why the school beauty was getting into a government car.
