Chapter 464: Holmes discovers Chen Yan's secret
It would be fine if Yu Qiaoqiao came, but why did Zhao Ying come too?
This will only cause more trouble!
Thinking of this, Chen Yan opened his mouth to refuse.
At this moment, Yu Qiaoqiao's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Brother Ying, you want to go too~ I don't have to prepare dinner for you, so let's go together..."
Chen Yan was speechless.
Faced with Yu Qiaoqiao's requests, Chen Yan could never learn to refuse.
Therefore, even though he felt that letting Yu Qiaoqiao come right after He Mengxue left would easily lead to trouble, Chen Yan still reluctantly agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yan was not idle.
He immediately ran to the bedroom and opened all the windows to get rid of the smell!
After all, he had not forgotten that He Mengxue always had a very fragrant jasmine scent on her body. Last time, he almost got exposed by Lu Man.
Then, he took off the quilt and bed sheet that He Mengxue had slept on and threw them into the washing machine. He poured in some detergent and started the washing machine directly.
After that, he changed the bed with new sheets and quilt cover and cleaned the whole house.
I don’t know if it’s because the “race against time” state is too stimulating. Or maybe doing housework is really more tiring than doing exercise.
Anyway... even with his physical fitness of +9, he was still a little out of breath and felt very tired after doing all the housework.
After doing all this, the phone at his home started ringing.
Chen Yan went over and answered the phone. It was the security guard calling, asking if Yu Qiaoqiao was Chen Yan's friend and whether he could let her in.
Chen Yan felt a little strange when he received the call from the security guard.
After all, the security guard actually knew Yu Qiaoqiao and Zhao Ying: they came here often.
Why did you call me this time?
While thinking, Chen Yan gave the guard an affirmative answer.
After Chen Yan agreed, there was a knock on his door shortly afterwards.
Yu Qiaoqiao and Zhao Ying, who were let in by the guard, arrived at the door of Chen Yan's house.
Chen Yan ran over and opened the door.
So, at the door, he saw the lovely, beautiful boss Qiaoqiao whom he had been thinking about day and night, and... the burden Mouying.
The burden Mouying did not consider herself an outsider at all, and was even more self-aware than Yu Qiaoqiao.
After seeing Chen Yan open the door, she waved casually as a greeting, then walked to the entrance and took the initiative to change her shoes.
While changing her shoes, she was still saying, "Chen Yan. Your community is really strict."
"The guard had clearly seen us before, but this time he looked at us like he was interrogating a prisoner. It was as if he was afraid we would rush in and look for him."
When Chen Yan first heard what Zhao Ying said, he didn't feel anything.
However, he thought about it carefully, and suddenly seemed to... understand why the guard was so vigilant today.
While he was guessing, Yu Qiaoqiao quietly defended the security guard, "Brother Ying, the security guard was being responsible."
"He's so responsible. Chen Yan feels at ease living here..."
After hearing what Yu Qiaoqiao said, Zhao Ying curled her lips and said, "I always feel like there is some unspeakable secret."
Having said that, she couldn't help but look at Chen Yan.
Chen Yan knew very well how accurate Zhao Ying's sixth sense was, so he didn't dare let Zhao Ying continue to think about it. Instead, he quickly welcomed Yu Qiaoqiao into the house and said, "Ignore her. She's just thinking about it."
After that, Chen Yan helped Yu Qiaoqiao get a pair of slippers, and then changed the subject, "Don't you have classes today?"
Yu Qiaoqiao squatted down and changed her shoes while nodding and said, "It's just one morning class, and it's over. There are no classes in the afternoon."
"Since you came back yesterday, I wanted to come and see you. But I was worried that you would be very tired and need to rest. So I didn't come."
"I thought you should have some rest today, so I wanted to come and see you..."
As she spoke, Yu Qiaoqiao raised her head and looked at Chen Yan with soft eyes filled with affection and longing.
Seeing her cute look, Chen Yan smiled and touched her head: She was squatting there to change her slippers, and it was very convenient to touch her.
Then he said softly, "If you want to see me next time, just tell me directly."
"As long as it's you, I'm always available."
Yu Qiaoqiao said "Yeah..." obediently.
While the two were chatting, Zhao Ying had already changed her shoes and started walking around the house.
After strolling for a while, she arrived at the corridor. She saw something and leaned back, sticking her head out. She asked Chen Yan curiously, "Chen Yan, are you getting up so early to wash clothes?"
The warm atmosphere was destroyed, but because it involved what happened last night, Chen Yan couldn't help but take it seriously, so he came back to his senses, looked at Zhao Ying, and said, "It's not clothes. It's sheets and quilts."
"I was on a business trip for a few days and was covered in dust. So I thought I'd wash it."
"Oh~" Zhao Ying continued to ask curiously like Sherlock Holmes, "It was covered with dust, and then you slept all night before washing it?"
Chen Yan: …
His mind worked quickly. He made up a story quickly, "No. I changed it last night. I threw it in the washing machine."
"But it's impossible to hang clothes at night."
"So, I got up and washed it this morning."
Seeing that there were no loopholes in Chen Yan's explanation, Zhao Ying put his head back.
Listening to her footsteps, it seemed like she was going somewhere else for a stroll.
Chen Yan glanced in her direction, then asked Yu Qiaoqiao, "What is she doing? Didn't she want to see me? Why is she acting like she's solving a case?"
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Yu Qiaoqiao couldn't help but smile, then said, "Brother Ying has been obsessed with Conan recently. He has watched hundreds of episodes."
"So, now I want to check something at every turn."
At this point, Yu Qiaoqiao whispered to Chen Yan, "However, her sixth sense is very strong. So she is very accurate in solving cases."
"In the past few days, he has helped us solve a lot of cases in the girls' dormitory."
Chen Yan was stunned after hearing this, "What kind of case could happen in your girls' dormitory?"
Yu Qiaoqiao counted on her fingers and said, "Yes~"
"Like who stole whose shampoo, who forgot to close the door when leaving, who secretly sued whom, a lot of small cases."
"And Ying-ge solved all of these with her sixth sense and hundreds of episodes of Conan."
Chen Yan: …
After a moment, he coughed, turned his head and shouted to Zhao Ying, "Brother Ying, stop wandering around. Come out and have some fruit!"
…
After dragging Zhao Ying out of the bedroom, Chen Yan pushed her onto the sofa and gave her a large pomegranate that had been in the refrigerator for more than a week.
Then he cut a small plate of peaches for Yu Qiaoqiao.
This finally stopped the two girls from "investigating cases" in his house.
After pushing the two girls onto the sofa, Chen Yan also chatted with Yu Qiaoqiao about what had happened in the past few days.
Even if you haven't seen each other for two or three days, for people who are in love, it feels like a century has passed.
So, it seems like there is no end to what can be said.
The only one who spoiled the mood was Zhao Ying.
The two of them were obviously talking about their own affairs. But Zhao Ying always liked to say, "Me too." As if this gave her a sense of participation...
Chen Yan, "Qiaoqiao, I missed you a lot these past two days."
Yu Qiaoqiao said shyly, "I miss you too..."
Zhao Ying: "Me too."
Chen Yan: …
Chen Yan, "Qiaoqiao, have you been very busy these past few days?"
Yu Qiaoqiao shook her head. "It's OK. I don't have many classes these days. There's not much work at the company either. So I'm relatively free."
Zhao Ying: "Me too."
Chen Yan: ? ?
Yu Qiaoqiao, "Chen Yan, you seem to have lost weight these days. Did you not eat well?"
Chen Yan, "It's actually not bad. But maybe because I'm busy, I always eat the last meal and forget the next one."
Zhao Ying: "Me too..."
In the end, it was Yu Qiaoqiao who couldn't bear it anymore.
She stared at Zhao Ying with her beautiful eyes, and said in a soft but angry tone, "Brother Ying, you've been eating five meals a day these days!"
"You've eaten up all the rice in the house."
Zhao Ying: …
Zhao Ying actually "shamelessly" defended herself by saying, "I was just very tired from the exercise."
"After all, I'm not like you guys who stop practicing after a few days."
Chen Yan: …
Chen Yan felt that letting Zhao Ying come along was a mistake.
This guy is bad at everything he does, and his number one specialty is ruining the atmosphere!
If she hadn't determined her career path, and in the most important "media" industry, Chen Yan could get cash back, Chen Yan really wanted to remove her from the list!
Perhaps feeling the two's "rejection" of her interrupting, Zhao Ying stood up proudly, ran to the balcony to look at the scenery, and stopped eating dog food.
Without her interruption, the two could finally talk about topics that could not be written about.
After chatting about a few topics, Yu Qiaoqiao's fair little face had become pink and tender, and her ears were blushing.
Chen Yan enjoyed it very much and even thought Yu Qiaoqiao was even more adorable at this time.
So, in the end, Yu Qiaoqiao could only run away from Chen Yan's teasing and went to the toilet to "hide from the limelight."
After Yu Qiaoqiao left, Zhao Ying secretly looked around, then raised her head and saw the dog sneaking up to Chen Yan.
Sitting next to Chen Yan, she gently poked Chen Yan's waist with her elbow.
Chen Yan's eyes were still following Yu Qiaoqiao, so when Zhao Ying poked him in the waist, he immediately slapped her elbow away in anger. Then he asked, "What are you doing!"
Zhao Ying didn't care about Chen Yan's bad temper.
She stretched out a hand and said to Chen Yan, "Chen Yan, look what I found?"
Chen Yan couldn't help but look at Zhao Ying's hand.
As a result... he saw a pair of worn black stockings lying quietly in Zhao Ying's hand.
Judging from the appearance of those stockings, they are most likely the ones He Mengxue wore last night!
Chen Yan could even smell a faint scent of jasmine from it...
At that moment, Chen Yan's heartbeat suddenly jumped from 80 to 130.
He just felt his head buzzing.
Even though he was so "smart", he didn't know what kind of excuse to make up to cover up this matter.
Seeing Chen Yan so shocked, Zhao Ying looked like she saw through everything, shook her head and said, "Chen Yan, I really didn't expect that you would be such a person."
Chen Yan swallowed his saliva, then said, "I say, I can explain, do you believe it?"
Zhao Ying shook her head. "I don't believe what you said."
"You are so smart, you will definitely make up a reason to make me believe you."
"I can even imagine what you're going to say."
"For example... there was a woman at your house last night. These stockings were taken off by her."
"Tsk~ Do you think I will believe it?!"
After hearing what Zhao Ying said, Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he was completely dumbfounded, "What?"
Zhao Ying looked at him proudly, as if to say "I know everything", and said, "Don't be nervous~"
"I understand."
"Men, when they reach a certain age, they start to like all kinds of weird things."
"Some people like fishing, some people like figurines."
"You like wearing stockings, so what's the problem?"
She patted Chen Yan's shoulder and said earnestly, "Your hobby won't hurt others."
"So, I understand and respect you."
"What?" Chen Yan almost didn't know what to say.
He wanted to make an excuse.
But I also feel that... I can't seem to make any excuses...
You can't just tell the truth without confessing it, right?
At that moment, Chen Yan inexplicably felt that Zhao Ying was also a person of real ability.
This move made me unable to even tell the truth. Fortunately, there was no one else around, otherwise, I would have been killed on the spot!
While Chen Yan was thinking, Zhao Ying stuffed the stockings into Chen Yan's pocket and said, "Okay. I'll give this back to you."
"Put it away carefully so that Qiaoqiao doesn't see it."
"She may not be as open as I am."
Chen Yan: …
What can Chen Yan say?
He could only stutter, "Thank you, thank you..."
Zhao Ying stood up proudly, put her hands behind her back, hummed a song, and continued her patrol.
Looking at her optimistic look, if you don’t know her, you might think she has done something good.
Chen Yan sat there blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
After a while, Yu Qiaoqiao came out of the bathroom.
She returned to the sofa and saw that Chen Yan was a little confused. She blinked her big eyes, tilted her head to look at Chen Yan and asked with concern, "Chen Yan, are you okay? What happened?"
"Oh oh..." Chen Yan came back to his senses, forced a smile and said, "It's okay. It's okay."
"I was just thinking about something else."
Yu Qiaoqiao didn't notice anything unusual. She nodded obediently, then whispered, "Don't always think about weird things..."
"I, I can't accept it."
Having said this, she blushed and lowered her head again.
Chen Yan couldn't help but think of the topic he had just teased Yu Qiaoqiao about, and then he suddenly became energetic again, and said to Yu Qiaoqiao with a smile, "Don't rush to refuse, Qiaoqiao."
"If you don't try, how do you know you can't accept it?"
"I'm here."
After hearing Chen Yan's fierce words, Yu Qiaoqiao could no longer hold on.
"I, I'm going to the bathroom again!"
Yu Qiaoqiao hurriedly ran to the toilet in panic.
On the way, she met Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying gave her a strange look and asked, "Going to the bathroom again?"
Yu Qiaoqiao made a mosquito-like sound, “Hmm…”
Zhao Ying said, "You go there so frequently, maybe your kidneys are not in good condition."
"Wait till night, I'll help you check it out."
"Ah?" Yu Qiaoqiao raised her head in confusion.
Zhao Ying looked like an enthusiastic old Chinese medicine practitioner, and he had obviously found a new interest...
We chatted and played for the whole afternoon.
With the company of two girlfriends, Chen Yan is very happy.
Especially since one of them was gentle and the other was… a fool. The clash between the two always produced a lot of laughs. Chen Yan spent the whole afternoon laughing.
The afternoon passed quickly, and in the evening, Chen Yan ordered some takeout and treated the two of them to dinner at home.
While eating, Yu Qiaoqiao looked at Zhao Ying thoughtfully for a few times.
Zhao Ying was eating quietly.
She hesitated for a moment, then whispered to Chen Yan, "Chen Yan. There is something I want to talk to you about."
Chen Yan was fighting with Zhao Ying for food. When he heard Yu Qiaoqiao's words, he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"
While he was speaking, the two pieces of meat in his bowl were snatched away by Zhao Ying in the blink of an eye.
Yu Qiaoqiao said, "It's like this..."
"Brother Ying has lived outside for more than half a year."
"She kind of wants to go home and visit."
"But...she can't contact her father."
Hearing Yu Qiaoqiao's words, Chen Yan, who was trying to grab his own meat, lost his grip on the chopsticks and the meat fell into Zhao Ying's bowl with a clang.
