Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 561 Didn't Keep It

into the night.

As usual, Ai Liang went to bed on time and closed her eyes to sleep, following her established biological clock.

Just like his interaction with Ye Qing after dinner, it had no effect on him whatsoever.

Normally, according to her biological clock, Ai Liang should sleep soundly until tomorrow morning tonight.

However, an uninvited guest sneaked in at 1:30 a.m.

The doorknob turned gently, and a figure as nimble as a cat slipped through the crack in the door.

She tiptoed to the bedside and, in the dim light streaming in from the window, stared blankly at Ai Liang's face.

A tiny, almost imperceptible mental fluctuation spread throughout the room.

After Ai Liang's consciousness fell into a deep sleep under hypnosis, Ye Qing slowly walked to the bedside and sat down.

The eyes are the windows of the soul.

With her eyes closed, Ai Liang on the bed seemed like a completely different person, no longer possessing the fierceness she had during the day.

Quiet, reserved, and gentle.

This is the first impression Ai Liang gives people now.

"If you closed your eyes at school, you would definitely be much more popular than you are now."

Ye Qing poked Ai Liang's cheek and complained.

She leaned down, propped her head up with one hand, and lay on her side on the bed, looking at the sleeping Ai Liang.

The hand, which had been poking and prodding, now gently caressed.

"I'm sorry, Liang, there are no biological parents who have found me... I just... didn't want to drag you into this."

"I am not an orphan, but a special experimental subject of some organization."

"Ever since Sister Lan took me out of the laboratory, we embarked on a journey of escape, fleeing all the way from Europe to Asia, until we finally settled down in Qianhua City a few years ago."

It was precisely this peaceful life over the past few years that allowed me to temporarily forget my identity and enjoy the life of an ordinary girl.

Ye Qing moved her body and pressed her face against Ai Liang's cheek.

"But I'm not a normal human being, and the organization won't let us go. I know that very well..."

Tears welled up like a clear spring, wetting Ai Liang's cheeks.

"I knew this perfectly well, yet I still chose to deceive myself, fantasizing that I could maintain this life forever..."

Soft sobs echoed in the room.

Ai Liang listened to the sound of the person next to her crying and felt the warm liquid sliding down her cheek.

Where Ye Qing couldn't see, his right hand twitched involuntarily, but he ultimately didn't raise it.

Five minutes later, Ye Qing straightened up.

The situation was urgent, and she could no longer linger in this warm moment.

Ye Qing gently stroked Ai Liang's cheek: "Whether it's for you, for me, or for Shana and Sister Lan, I can never come back after I leave."

Your phones will be monitored by the organization. I can't even make a phone call, so..."

Ye Qing slowly leaned down and kissed him.

She was like a traveler who had walked for three days in the desert and finally found an oasis with a clear spring, greedily savoring Ai Liang's lips.

The fruity scent of the lipstick lingers on the lips and tongue.

The first kiss was bound to be a little bumpy, and Ye Qing was still a bit clumsy.

But after finding the trick...

We'll be strangers from now on, so can't I enjoy this moment a little longer?

The thought of parting ways with Ai Liang forever and never seeing her again emboldened Ye Qing.

She threw off the covers and clung to Ai Liang like a koala, twisting and turning as if trying to meld herself into Ai Liang's body, craving maximum physical contact.

If there is enough time and Ai Liang does indeed fall into a deep sleep, then some delightful events are likely to unfold next.

But there are no "what ifs" in life.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Ye Qing looked up at Ai Liang's face and kissed her again.

However, this time it wasn't as intense as before; it was just a light, fleeting kiss.

Ye Qing, who was straddling Ai Liang, slowly got up. Her loose hair slid down onto Ai Liang's slightly hot neck, feeling cool and comfortable.

"I'm sorry, Liang, I know you definitely don't want to kiss me under these circumstances, but I really can't keep my promise... so let me have the kiss you saved for me last night in advance."

Ye Qing gently got off the bed, then took out Ai Liang's spare key from her pocket and placed it on the bedside table.

Finally, he leaned down and pecked Ai Liang on the cheek, leaving a faint lipstick mark.

"……Bye now."

Ye Qing slowly left Ai Liang's bedroom and departed from Ai Liang's house.

Sensing the fading presence, Ai Liang opened her eyes and sat up.

He raised his hand and touched his lips, his expression somewhat complicated.

Ai Liang had originally planned to surprise Ye Qing when they met in a few days, but unexpectedly, Ye Qing brought her something tonight first...

Ai Liang couldn't imagine what Ye Qing's expression would be if she suddenly woke up while kissing her.

That scene was absolutely unbearable to watch.

So it's best to give the other person some time to calm down...

Incidentally, they could also take advantage of Ye Qing and Zhu Lan's escape to see if there were any other members of the Sea Heart Society in Qianhua City besides Giss and Lydia's group.

After all, with the curse in place, if the members of the Sea Heart Society are determined to hide themselves, they are generally undetectable.

Unless Ai Liang runs right into their bodies, it will be difficult to find them by simply conducting a large-scale search.

Since we've decided to help Ye Qing get rid of the Haixin Society, let's do it thoroughly.

To ensure that Haixin will not dare or be able to disturb my life again in the future.

Dealing with the traitors within Zhu Lan's group and the Haixin Society's liaisons is only the first step.

Ai Liang planned to follow the clues to find the headquarters of the Haixin Society and have a good talk with their leader.

Lydia and the others were the vines used to trace the melon.

It is true that curses can protect the mind of the parasitized.

But what about mind control at the level of an apostle?

No matter how powerful the main body of the cursed entity is, it is impossible for it to withstand an attack from an Apostle level simply by relying on its split offspring.

Otherwise, the title of the world's strongest would not belong to the Thousand-Faced Man, and the Sea Heart Society would not be at the bottom of the three major powers.

Moreover, the fact that Zhu Lan and the others were able to break free from the curse means that there must be a loophole in the curse.

Ai Liang only needs to catch all the fish first, and then there will be plenty of time to unravel the secret of the curse.

Ai Liang glanced at the spare key on the bedside table and used telekinesis to put it into the drawer.

He then changed into his outdoor clothes and disappeared out the window.

Ye Qing was on her way to meet up with Zhu Lan.

The two had planned to leave Chika today.

On the surface, Zhu Lan plans to sell the supermarket and two other shops under her control.

In fact, she had already handed over these businesses to the orphanage director, preparing to leave at any time.

The shop transaction was just a smokescreen to mislead Lydia and the others.
