Chapter 67
“You, which department’s patient are you?” Su Jingyan buried his head, the index fingers of both hands intertwined, constantly spinning around, looking very nervous.
Upon hearing Su Jingyan’s question, the man’s eyeballs first turned, as if pondering something, like a child telling a brief lie and momentarily hesitating when answering a question.
But the man responded quickly, looking at the young man beside him with indifference, and replied casually, “Cardiology.”
Su Jingyan didn’t doubt him. He remained very tense, his two eyes like a rabbit’s, slightly swollen and shining, glancing nervously in all directions.
The two of them walked forward silently, the whole world, except for the occasional rustling of the wind, filled only with the “tapping” sound of their footsteps on the floor.
This was actually a very eerie scene.
Two people in hospital gowns, one wearing a mask covering their face and bowing their head, the other with bangs almost covering their eyes, their face so pale that there was no trace of color. From a distance, they looked a bit like two walking corpses crawling out of a morgue, numb and lifeless.
However, Su Jingyan, as the person involved, didn’t feel the strangeness at all, not even a hint of suspicion toward the man who seemed quite dangerous standing next to him.
Not only that, due to nervousness, Su Jingyan’s face even had a faint blush. If it weren’t for the mask covering his face, it’s hard to imagine the extent of his embarrassment.
“I, uh, we…” Su Jingyan felt awkward, taking the initiative to break the silence between them. However, due to nervousness, his tongue got tangled, and for a while, he couldn’t utter a complete sentence.
Lu Yichen looked at Su Jingyan’s appearance, pursed his lips, and the corner of his mouth involuntarily curved up half a degree.
Su Jingyan hadn’t realized that he had the words at the tip of his tongue when he suddenly went silent. Feeling embarrassed, he couldn’t help but cover his eyes with his hand, afraid to look at the man’s teasing expression beside him.
His face was getting hotter and hotter.
“Hmm?” The man’s footsteps suddenly stopped, and for reasons unknown to Su Jingyan, he looked in Lu Yichen’s direction. Su Jingyan’s steps also came to a halt, then he turned to the man with a questioning gaze, puzzled.
Lu Yichen’s expression changed, squinting as if carefully examining something. His gaze fell into the distance.
Su Jingyan followed the direction the man was looking, but it was pitch-black, and nothing could be seen.

“What’s wrong?” Su Jingyan asked in confusion, not understanding why the man’s expression suddenly became serious.

Wide-eyed, Su Jingyan was taken aback, almost losing his balance, and he let out a small startled cry.
Lu Yichen’s lips were close to his ear, exhaling a breath. His voice was hoarse and magnetic, with a hint of seduction. “Don’t speak.”
Upon hearing this, Su Jingyan’s face turned hot. Afraid of accidentally making a sound, he obediently used the hand not held by the man to cover his mouth and nose, a cute little gesture.
Lu Yichen looked at the person in his arms, who obediently followed his instructions with a docile and submissive demeanor, and the pitiful expression inadvertently revealed in his eyes. Unable to resist, Lu Yichen chuckled softly again.
Upon hearing his laughter, Su Jingyan’s ears twitched, and he blushed even more intensely.
The next moment, Su Jingyan was embraced by the man, who pulled him and hid behind a flower bed.
Su Jingyan swallowed hard, his back pressed tightly against the man’s chest. The intimate gesture made Su Jingyan’s body involuntarily stiffen.
Not long after they had hidden, Su Jingyan heard the soft footsteps and the murmur of conversations.
Su Jingyan’s heart continued to beat rapidly, thump-thump-thump, so fast that he could almost feel something wanting to jump out from his chest. Su Jingyan’s eyes blinked rapidly, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.
He cautiously nestled in the man’s arms, tilting his head slightly to look at the man behind him. The moment he raised his head, his eyes met with the man’s teasing and playful gaze. Su Jingyan’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately averted his gaze, curling up into a ball like an ostrich.
Not only that, he continued to stare ahead, his eyes wide open, looking towards the source of the sound, presenting a dignified and serious appearance.
If it weren’t for his hands trembling slightly, and his neck burning red, his expression might have been more convincing.
Two people sneaked out from the dark corner, a man and a woman.
The woman had a voluminous wavy hairstyle, wore a floral tank top, and had heavy makeup, appearing quite flashy. Despite her efforts to create a seductive look, the undeniable reality of visible armpit fat, a protruding belly, and fatty deposits on her legs all told a straightforward story – she weighed more than 180 pounds.
The man was dressed in the blue and white hospital gown, clearly indicating he was a patient in the hospital. His body was very thin, creating a stark contrast to the woman’s figure.
At this moment, the man’s hands were holding several bottles and jars, along with a pile of assorted items that left Su Jingyan dazzled, unable to discern their purpose.
If it were just that, Su Jingyan might not find it strange, perhaps assuming they were ordinary people out for an early morning walk. However, these two individuals, who suddenly appeared in Su Jingyan’s line of sight, kept glancing around sporadically, giving off an eccentric vibe. They didn’t seem like two normal people.
Coupled with Lu Yichen’s peculiar reaction, it immediately raised Su Jingyan’s suspicion.
Sure enough, after confirming there was no one around, both the man and the woman’s footsteps came to a halt simultaneously.
The woman took out her phone, switched on the flashlight mode, and illuminated the area for the man.
The man began to crouch on the ground, carefully arranging the items he had in his hands. Then, he pulled out two objects from his pocket. Su Jingyan’s vision wasn’t very clear in the darkness, but the man behind him could see everything clearly.
They were two wax figures molded into humanoid shapes.
Tsk.
The man opened one of the jars on the ground, reached in with his bare hand, and then pulled something out. Su Jingyan, from a distance, could barely make out what was retrieved, but a chill ran down his spine, and a wave of discomfort surged in his stomach, causing the food he had eaten the previous night to churn.
The man pulled a snake out of the jar!
Su Jingyan couldn’t help but inhale sharply, subconsciously biting down on his lower lip to prevent any unnecessary sound from escaping.
The man next to him, who had been observing him with a cryptic gaze, almost instantly noticed Su Jingyan’s eyebrows furrowing into a deep frown, and his body tensing up significantly.
Suddenly, Su Jingyan felt something on top of his head. Startled, he instinctively raised his neck, only to realize that the man was gently patting his hair, as if comforting a frightened kitten, with gentle movements.
The tension in Su Jingyan’s body, which had been rigid, suddenly relaxed. He turned his head to look at Lu Yichen, and their eyes met at such a close distance.
At this proximity, Su Jingyan could even clearly see the subtle gleam in Lu Yichen’s eyes. In those calm and unruffled eyes, his own reflection was reflected.
Su Jingyan felt an inexplicable surge of emotion in his chest.
Only himself…
“Do you have the things I asked you to prepare?” The man squatted on the ground, pulled out a knife from his pocket, firmly pressed the snake’s head, and then used the knife to slit the snake’s skin, letting the blood flow into the jar.
The woman’s eyes showed no trace of fear or any sign of unease. Excitement almost couldn’t be contained in her eyes. She swallowed saliva, and upon hearing the man’s words, she immediately took out a small glass bottle from her bag and respectfully handed it to the man.
Inside the bottle was a sticky liquid, crimson, yet unlike ordinary red paint.
“Is this from the past couple of days’ menstrual blood?” The man pulled out the bottle stopper and poured it into the jar containing the snake, asking expressionlessly.
The woman immediately replied, “Yes, yes, it’s all prepared according to your requirements.”
“What about the other things I asked you to prepare?” The man opened another jar, took out a centipede, and placed it into the jar with the snake. Then those things resembling iron rods were frantically ground and pressed in the jar.
The woman quickly answered, “They’re all here, all here. Hair, nails, and even his clothes. I’ve prepared everything you asked for.”
As she spoke, the woman took out the items again. She appeared even more excited, with her voice slightly trembling, and her facial expression seemed quite deranged, with a hint of distortion.
Su Jingyan watched the two from a distance, feeling puzzled. Moreover, the awkward position made his legs somewhat numb, prompting him to unconsciously shift uncomfortably in Lu Yichen’s embrace.
Lu Yichen glanced at the person in his arms and, in the face of Su Jingyan’s incredulous gaze, deliberately made a friction sound with his foot against the ground.
“!!!” Su Jingyan was startled to the point of almost having a heart attack when the sound echoed.
Suddenly, he grabbed Lu Yichen’s hand in reverse, staring at him in terror, as if asking, “Are you out of your mind?”
Lu Yichen’s expression showed no embarrassment. Seeing Su Jingyan’s shocked expression, he even curled a smile at the corner of his mouth, hinting at a playful tease.
Then, he reversed his hand, gripping the hand that Su Jingyan had grabbed, and deliberately scratched his palm.
The sudden sound startled the already uneasy pair.
The man quickly stood up from the ground, tightening the knife in his hand, and loudly exclaimed, “Who is there?”
Saying that, he began to move towards the location where the sound had just come from, looking around.
Su Jingyan was too preoccupied to care about Lu Yichen’s teasing. He was now so nervous that his heart felt like it might jump out of his chest.
Lu Yichen gently patted Su Jingyan’s back without saying a word, but his eyes flickered slightly, carrying a hint of anger.
Get lost.
The man, who had previously been fierce and menacing, suddenly froze. His eyes became lifeless, and his body stiffened, like an emotionless robot following human commands. Every movement seemed strangely robotic.
The man slowly sheathed the dagger. Ignoring the woman’s anxious gaze, he turned around with a vacant expression, as if aloof from everything. Without saying a word, he bent down to pick up the items on the ground. Regardless of the woman’s incessant questioning, the man remained silent throughout, carrying the items and walking away in a straight direction.
The confused woman hastily followed.
Suddenly, some unknown person coldly laughed.
Um? What are you doing with period blood?? Sir?????
Ud.A mooring!!! Oh god that looks like a tie, poor person the lady wants to be her partner
