Apartment from Hell Chapter 5 (2/2)

On the other hand, the Hua Liancheng couple were very compa.s.sionate, reminding them again and again to be cautious and making them promise they must come back alive. Li Yin was very touched. After a year, it seems that they truly became very close to each other.

After all, it is because of everyone’s mutual support that they have stayed alive till now!

As he thinks about all this, Li Yin’s feelings are mixed. He glances at Luo Hengyan and Qin Shoutian who are soundly asleep, and Ye Kexin who is struggling to stay awake.

“Kexin, hang in there. Two of us must remain awake.” Li Yin says, “Just persist for a little longer. Here, have a little more tea.”

“I’m fine…” Although she says this, Ye Kexin still yawns widely. “I, I cannot fall asleep.”

Hence Li Yin can only keep talking to her so she can concentrate, “Then, let’s talk. Kexin, you like Xia Yuan, right?”

“Ah, yeah… Eh? Ah, no no no no, I don’t…” Kexin waves her arm frantically and says, “I, I’m not with Xia Yuan…”

The fact that Ye Kexin has stayed alive till this point has to do with Xia Yuan’s existence. For three years now, she has forcefully endured everything. “Xia Yuan…” Ye Kexin’s face turns completely red. “He might not be interested in me. Moreover, right now, the first priority is to stay alive. I don’t even dare to think about those things…”

Li Yin says with a smile, “We will definitely all stay alive and leave that G.o.d d.a.m.n apartment… For sure!”

After hearing these words from Li Yin, Ye Kexin feels a bit more relieved.

“Hengyan, his personality is quite impulsive. I’m a bit worried about him.” Li Yin turns around and looks at the deeply asleep Luo Hengyan. “He’s quite the pitiful one too. After his parents both pa.s.sed away, he moved to city K alone, but who would expect that these kind of things will happen to him.”

“Yeah…” Ye Kexin nods her head and says, “And Shoutian as well… he got divorced because his wife cheated on him. He was wandering around despondently after getting drunk late at night. As a result, his shadow got…”

Qin Shoutian and Ye Kexin once received the same b.l.o.o.d.y instructions. That time, there were only three people on that mission and the other person died in the end, leaving only Qin Shoutian and Ye Kexin alive. Thus Ye Kexin strongly considers Qin Shoutian as her partner. She really hopes he can stay alive.

The next day…is finally here.

“So Mr. Li and Miss Ye are still not awake?” When Elder Zhang comes to greet them early in the morning, Luo Hengyan tells him that since Li Yin and Ye Kexin are both very tired, they are still resting.

“That’s fine.” Elder Zhang suddenly glances around furtively. When he realizes there is no one around, he then asks Luo Hengyan in a low voice, “Mr. Luo, since there are no other people here, you can just tell me… when is your boss coming?”

“Ah? Boss?” Luo Hengyan looks at him blankly and asks, “What boss?”

“Haha, you’re still pretending? I know your boss exhorted you to maintain your façade properly. Don’t worry, I already told the people in the village, and they wouldn’t dare to not give me any face. You can look around the village freely. I will certainly not obstruct you.”

“I… I don’t understand…”

“Right right right. You don’t understand. It is right that you don’t understand. Just relax. During the time you stay in this village, I will make sure that I treat you well. Your boss has already contacted me…”

As he stared Elder Zhang’s very attentive manner, Luo Hengyan starts to realize that this elder might have misunderstood something.

However, it seems like because of that “boss”, the elder allows them to stay, treating them very enthusiastically and even beating his dear grandson.

Then… just let him continue to keep this misunderstanding.

“Grandfather!”

Zhang Suyue suddenly runs towards them in a hurry. She says breathlessly, “Grandfather, something huge has happened. Uncle… Uncle Haotian is gone!”

“Haotian?” Elder Zhang immediately furrows his eyebrows and then says to Luo Hengyan, “Mr. Luo… I need to handle something first.”

“Gone?” This is a word that Luo Hengyan, who is very sensitive towards his surroundings, can easily relate to. Li Yin warned him over and over again that he must pay attention to every “unnatural” thing that occurs so he immediately says, “Elder, I will come with you!”

In front of the fiercely flowing waterfall, Ah Xiu takes off her socks and shoes, immerses her feet in the water and swings her legs.

“Ah Xiu…”

She immediately turns around to see her next door neighbor, Liang Renbin, a childhood friend who grew up with her.

The handsome Liang Renbin has always been very intimate with Ah Xiu. After Ah Xiu’s parents pa.s.sed away, he even transparently stated his desire that Ah Xiu should marry him but Ah Xiu used the excuse of having to mourn her parents to keep stalling the marriage. After all, people from these rural villages have more conservative beliefs than people who live in the city.

However… after the Li Bing incident, Ah Xiu started to avoid Renbin.

“Today is sister Bing Er’s commemoration day,” Ah Xiu turns around and says, “I will mourn her. No matter how much the people in the village treats her death as taboo, I will never forget this date.”

“Why bother? Ah Xiu, will you keep antagonizing me just because of Li Bing? She is already dead, what else can I do?”

“I don’t ever want to see you again,” Ah Xiu continues speaking coldly. “If you dare come here again, I won’t let you off easily!”

Liang Renbin’s expression turns bitter as he says, “Alright…it seems you won’t listen to anything I say today anyway. But Ah Xiu, you have to remember that my feelings for you will forever remain true!”

After Renbin left, Ah Xiu bends down and scoops up some water to wash her face. At this moment, through the gaps between her fingers, she sees that the reflection on the water is not her face but that of another woman’s.

She moves her hand away slowly. The surface of the water once again reflects her face.

“Sister Bing Er…” Ah Xiu does not show even a trace of fear as she says, “I know, I know you hated so much… Even if you’ve became like this, you are still my sister Bing Er. I won’t be scared of you because I know that you will never harm me. Just do whatever you want to do. Kill everyone who coerced you to die…everyone…”
