Chapter 27

By the time Chi Xu finished talking, Yu Huai had already brought the food.

Looking at the simple meal on the table, Chi Xu paused for a moment, then sat down, picked up the chopsticks and tasted the first bite, frowned for a moment, and then took the second and third bites as if nothing had happened.

Yu Huai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

After Chi Xu finished eating, Yu Huai went to the kitchen to get a trash can and cleaned the table.

When cleaning the table, he saw the glutinous rice sausage on the table. In order to save trouble, Yu Huaishou fried two glutinous rice sausages that Aunt He made yesterday, but Chi Xu didn’t eat a single bite.

She reached out, picked up one and put it in her mouth. It smelled so good. Chi Xu was a very picky person.

After just two bites, the footsteps sounded again. Chi Xu stood on the stairs and looked down. Yu Huai had one foot on the chair he had just sat on, his mouth was stuffed with food, and the other half of his intestine was sticking out of his mouth.

When Yu Huai saw Chi Xu coming back, his body stiffened. He hurriedly got down from his chair, raised his hand and stuffed the other half of the intestine into his mouth, blinking at him.

Her slender fingers tapped lightly on the stair railing, and no emotion could be seen in her eyes.

After a long while, Yu Huai’s cheeks were almost sore, Chi Xu finally spoke, “When you’re done, bring the sheets to my room.”

Yu Huai nodded.

After Chi Xu disappeared in the stairwell, Yu Huai hurriedly chewed and swallowed the food in his mouth.

After cleaning the table, Yu Huai went to the laundry room, picked up the bed sheet that was placed in a conspicuous place, and hit it hard twice.

Didn’t you change it yourself before?

He came to deliberately torment her again.

He took it to the third floor. This time, the lights were on and the place was no longer eerie. However, because there was a big ghost in the room, Yu Huai felt that there was no difference.

In the room, Chi Xu was sitting on the sofa, holding a wine glass in one hand. He leaned against the back of the sofa, his eyes looking forward.

Yu Huai looked over and found that there was a huge floor-to-ceiling window on the other side of the room. Although it was dark, he could still see tiny dots of light outside the window.

She only took a few glances and then looked away, walked inside and made Chi Xu’s bed. When she looked back, Chi Xu was still looking out the window, his movements hadn’t changed.

“Boss Chi, is the bed ready?”

Chi Xu responded, put down the wine glass, turned around and supported his chin with one hand.

His thin lips opened and closed: “Take off your clothes.”

“Wha…what?”

Yu Huai suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Chi Xu repeated: “Take off your clothes.”

This time Yu Huai heard everything clearly. Her expression quickly fell, but her eyes drifted past him and looked towards the open door.

If she ran away, she definitely couldn’t stay in Linjiang City. Chi Xu, who was petty, would definitely pursue the matter. She still had a few hundred yuan in her hands, but no ID. She would probably still be working under the bridge like before, living a tight life. It was unknown when she would be able to save money, perhaps when she was in her thirties, or maybe in her teens, and then invest all her savings in her own pharmacy.

She knew what kind of life she would live in the future without having to think too much. Or maybe she could just be patient and these hard days would pass. But Yu Huai had suffered for a long time, and she really didn’t dare to look back at the road she had traveled.

Compared to all this, what is taking off clothes?

What is dignity?

She wanted to eat well, dress well, have her own small pharmacy, and live a comfortable life.

She didn’t want to suffer anymore. She had suffered enough and felt that this suffering would never end.

Yu Huai retracted her gaze and fell on Chi Xu’s face. Chi Xu sat quietly, without any reaction to her distraction, and there was no trace of, without any scrutiny or curiosity.

She knew that Chi Xu just wanted to embarrass her.

Unfortunately, because of him, Yu Huai has slowly lost his face and is now just a body covered with flesh, with blood flowing through it, pus oozing, and stinking flesh.
