Chapter 576 Liking Someone
normal?

Zhu Lan's old grumble got stuck in her throat.

What kind of normal upbringing would turn a kindergarten child into a murderer?

In any case, they were saved thanks to Ai Liang this time.

Zhu Lan did not say those words aloud in front of Ai Liang.

When the hermit first became famous in the underworld, it wasn't because of the number of lives he had taken that he became infamous.

Although the hermit killed scumbags, his initial vengeful killing methods didn't seem like something a normal person could do.

Even without seeing photos of the scene, just hearing other people's verbal descriptions is enough to make someone lose their appetite for a whole day.

Compared to him, even psychopaths seem honest and simple.

However, from another perspective, it's not surprising if he did those things under some strange influence.

Anything related to the bizarre can drive even the most normal person crazy.

Thinking of this, Zhu Lan glanced at Ai Liang again.

'At least he's normal now.'

Zhu Lan thought to herself.

........................

If you want to go somewhere, flying is always faster than running.

Ai Liang slowly brought the off-road vehicle to a stop near the city of Qianhua.

It took Ye Qing and Zhu Lan a whole day to travel from Qianhua City to Shuimu City.

But it took less than an hour to get back.

This is even with Ai Liang showing some restraint.

Strange creatures with the ability to fly are already extremely rare.

In addition, the flight speed, comparable to that of a fighter jet, truly broadened Zhu Lan's horizons.

It was precisely because of this power that Zhu Lan became almost entirely convinced that Ai Liang was a hermit.

Bang.

Downstairs at the residential building, Ai Liang and Ye Qing took out their luggage and closed the car door, leaving Zhu Lan alone in the car.

All the members of the Haixin Society in Qianhua City have died, so she no longer needs to live in fear and timidity.

Now you can even drive around on the street without any problem.

Moreover, Zhu Lan's residence is not far from Ai Liang and Ye Qing's home, and Ai Liang is not her driver.

Zhu Lan can drive the rest of the way home herself; there's no need to escort her all the way to her doorstep.

With mixed feelings, Zhu Lan, in the driver's seat, said goodbye to the two and drove towards her apartment.

Ye Qing stood there watching Zhu Lan leave, only turning her gaze away when the car disappeared around the corner of the intersection.

"Even now, I still feel like I'm dreaming."

Looking at the entrance of the residential building, Ye Qing sighed, "I thought I would never have the chance to come back here again, but I didn't expect to be standing downstairs again so soon."

Ai Liang grasped Ye Qing's hand: "Let's go home."

"Ok!"

Ye Qing smiled and clasped Ai Liang's hand in return.

Their fingers intertwined, the two walked hand in hand into the elevator.

"By the way, this is for you."

Ai Liang reached into his pocket and rummaged around for a while before pulling out a spare key under Ye Qing's curious yet expectant gaze.

The moment Ye Qing saw the spare key, she immediately recalled what she had done that night, and a flush instantly spread from her cheeks to her ears.

Ye Qing glared at Ai Liang fiercely, then snatched the keys from him: "You big liar! All you do is bully people!"

Ai Liang raised her eyebrows and retorted, "You were the one who came to my room in the middle of the night and took advantage of me, so how did it become me bullying you?"

"You have the nerve to say that? You were clearly awake but you pretended to be asleep!"

Ye Qing stomped her foot in grievance: "If you were awake, couldn't you at least respond to me? That was my first kiss!"

Everyone else's first kiss is a sweet, intimate moment between two people, but mine was completely a one-woman show, making me feel like a crazed woman who raided my home at night.

Ai Liang smiled and pinched En Yeqing's cheek: "You've always been very measured in your actions, who would have thought you'd be so bold back then."

Ding.

The elevator door opens.

Ye Qing pouted and said, "I don't care, you have to make it up to me."

"What kind of compensation do you want?" Ai Liang asked.

"I'm going to sleep in your bed later, you can sleep on the sofa," Ye Qing said matter-of-factly.

Ai Liang paused for a moment, then nodded in understanding: "Okay."

Opening the door, Ye Qing strode into Ai Liang's house carrying her suitcase, acting every inch the lady of the house.

Ye Qing took out her pajamas from her bag, changed into slippers, and dashed into the bathroom to wash up.

Ai Liang's room was next to the bathroom, just a turn away. Ye Qing, who had just finished showering, went straight into Ai Liang's room with her clothes in her arms without saying a word.

Ai Liang followed closely behind and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

The change of clothes had already been taken out of the room before Ye Qing had even finished showering.

Ai Liang takes a shower much faster than Ye Qing, mainly because she usually uses telekinesis to shield her body, which isolates most of the dust and dirt. In addition, she can control her own sweat glands, so it doesn't take her too long.

If it weren't for the need to preserve some human habits, he could have easily replaced water with telekinesis.

If you go even further, you could directly alter the body's endocrine system and become the mythical, immaculate being.

After taking a shower, Ai Liang changed into her pajamas and opened the bedroom door.

Ye Qing was curled up in the quilt, with only half of her head showing.

When she heard the door open, the raised blanket involuntarily trembled.

Ai Liang walked naturally to the bedside, lifted the quilt, and lay down in the already warm bed.

Ye Qing had her back to Ai Liang at the moment, so she couldn't see the expression on her face.

But none of that matters.

Ai Liang reached out and pulled Ye Qing's waist closer, so that Ye Qing's back was against his chest.

A deep voice came from in front of me: "Didn't I tell you to sleep on the sofa?"

“I know,” Ai Liang replied.

"Then why... did you come here..."

Ai Liang hugged Ye Qing even tighter: "I don't want to go."

"Ugh... Can't you just pretend to be stupid at a time like this...?"

Intermittent sobs came from her arms.

Ai Liang didn't say anything, she just held her quietly.

Ye Qing has always given people an impression of optimism and resilience.

Aside from congenital emotional deficiencies, no one can maintain the same mindset indefinitely.

The longer something is suppressed, the more violently it will erupt.

Over the years, Ye Qing has been unable to find someone to whom she can fully confide her true feelings. Zhu Lan is not an option, nor is Ai Liang before she confessed.

She was always alone in her heart.

After the recent ups and downs, and the heartfelt conversations with Ai Liang, Ye Qing has finally found someone she can rely on.

The hotel I stayed at before was in an unfamiliar environment.

When people are in unfamiliar environments, even if they are surrounded by familiar people, they will unconsciously restrain some of their emotional expression.

Now she has returned home, back to the place that brought her happiness and joy.

Feeling the familiar scent enveloping him, the emotions that had been suppressed for years found an outlet, and the seemingly indestructible dam collapsed at that moment.

"Ugh... Waaah... Cough cough... Ugh..."

Ye Qing covered her mouth with her hand, desperately trying to suppress her sobs.

She didn't want Ai Liang to see her like this.

But the more she tried to suppress it, the more severe her sobs became.

Ai Liang gently patted Ye Qing's back: "Cry, it's okay."

"I clearly...don't want...uh...to let you see me like this..."

Sobbing, Ye Qing grabbed Ai Liang's arm, preventing him from turning her around: "I must look awful right now..."

Ai Liang did not move Ye Qing's body, but instead got up and turned over to face her.

He raised his hand and beckoned a tissue to help Ye Qing wipe away the tears on her face: "Many people like you because they like your beauty and your witty remarks. This contains a lot of expectations and their fantasies about a better future."

I like you because I've seen your hardships and ordinariness, and your vulnerability when you cry. I allow you to not always be beautiful and obedient, and I can always offer you my shoulder and a piece of candy.

"So you don't need to be perfect in front of me. There's a long road ahead, and we'll eventually see the sides of each other that we don't want the other to see."

Ye Qing forced a smile: "You always seem to say the nicest things at times like this, A Liang, you're really cunning..."

"Mmm," Ai Liang responded softly.

Ye Qing couldn't help but clutch Ai Liang's clothes tightly: "Then, it should be okay for me to be a little willful, right?"

"Mmm." Ai Liang reached out and hugged her.

Soon after, sobbing could be heard from inside the room. The sobbing quickly turned into choked sobs, and then into loud wailing.

The noise in the room gradually subsided as dawn broke.

I've been having nightmares about the battlefield for four days in a row...
