Chapter 12: Come to pick a fight and join forces to suppress it.

Cheng Jinyang suddenly woke up from his dream.

Chu Qingqing... When did she discover his identity?

It should have been at the last moment, otherwise she wouldn't have endured so much beating earlier.

Wang Wanrou is still sleeping soundly beside, curled up slightly, with her small mouth tightly closed, looking sweet and adorable.

Xing Yuanzhi is lying on the opposite bed, with closed eyes, serene and tranquil, completely different from the expression of fear and anxiety when having nightmares.

Let them rest well tonight.

Cheng Jinyang lay in bed for half a day, feeling a bit hungry, so he decided to sit up.

He picked up his phone from the bedside table and noticed a faint light flashing in the upper right corner.

Unlocking it and taking a look, Cheng Jinyang: .......

99+ missed calls, all from Chu Qingqing. But he had his phone on silent before bed, so he didn't hear a single one.

It's impressive how persistent she is.

So, Cheng Jinyang stepped out of the bedroom, and at that moment, the phone rang again.

Here comes Chu Qingqing again.

He picked up the phone and heard Chu Qingqing's sweet laughter on the other end, so sweet that it was almost sickening:

"Jinyang, let me ask you, is your home at Building 14, Unit 301, Tianqi Garden in Wujiang Town?"

Cheng Jinyang: ???

"Just called you a moment ago, but nobody answered, so I decided to come over myself," Chu Qingqing continued with a smile, "I'm climbing the stairs right now, I'll be at your doorstep soon."

"What are you here for?" Cheng Jinyang couldn't help but feel a bit apprehensive, but then he remembered Miss Ah Zhi and Miss Wang were inside, so he mustered up his courage again.

"Of course, to chat about matters between us," Chu Qingqing said ambiguously.

"We've already ended, haven't we?" Cheng Jinyang pretended to be innocent.

"Ah, didn't we just privately agree on a lifetime commitment in our dreams?" Chu Qingqing's tone seemed somewhat disappointed. "Just waking up from sleep and abandoning me midway, this isn't the conduct of a gentleman... Cheng, Jin, Yang!!!"

The front door of the house suddenly melted, turning into a viscous black-brown liquid, swirling around Chu Qingqing as she stepped into the house from outside, as if faithfully guarding her like a shield.

Then it suddenly transformed into sharp spikes, with a kind of fierce and unpredictable killing intent, pointing ominously towards Cheng Jinyang.

"How have I abandoned you?" Cheng Jinyang thought, 'Who are you scaring?' Then he pointed to the sofa nearby and said, "Sit down first."

Chu Qingqing stared at him intensely, saying nothing.

"What's wrong, afraid there's a trap on the sofa?" Cheng Jinyang laughed, "There are two other people in the room. If I were to attack you, you wouldn't stand a chance."

"Perhaps not." Chu Qingqing sneered coldly.

"Please, have a seat," Cheng Jinyang said. "After all, I did save you, didn't I?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qingqing's face softened slightly, and she sat down on the sofa—metallic fluid formed a thin support between her buttocks and the surface of the sofa, keeping her from actually touching it; she was just sitting on the support.

Cheng Jinyang walked into the kitchen and asked:

"Do you want to eat something? I cooked instant noodles," said Cheng Jinyang.

"That kind of thing is not nutritious," said Chu Qingqing.

"What's the point of nutrition so late at night? Just need to fill your stomach," Cheng Jinyang said.

"So what exactly is your ability?" Chu Qingqing was getting impatient, so she got straight to the point, "Interfering with dreams? Mind possession? Recalling memories?"

"To be honest, I'm not sure myself," Cheng Jinyang said as he placed the powder pack down and started pouring water.

"You're not sure?!" Chu Qingqing's voice raised suddenly.

"Well, it's a long story," Cheng Jinyang said as he sat down on the sofa next to her with a basin in hand, "Do you know about depression?"

"Depression?"

"Yes, I've had depression before," Cheng Jinyang said calmly. "The so-called 'entering dreams' is also a residual effect of depression, it's beyond my control."

"Can you provide convincing evidence?" Chu Qingqing asked coldly.

"Ah, of course," Cheng Jinyang smiled. "It's simple, as long as you stay tonight..."

"As long as what?" Miss Wang's voice suddenly rang out in the direction of the bedroom.

Chu Qingqing immediately sprang up as if startled, her metal spikes swiftly changing direction. However, as she clearly saw Wang Wanrou's face, her expression abruptly shifted from vigilance to disbelief, then finally to undisguised panic and apprehension.

The daughter of the clan leader of the Taiyuan Wang family, how could she possibly be in this man's room? And it seems like they have a good relationship?!

Now I have no way to kill them to keep this a secret, do I?

"Cheng Jinyang," Wang Wanrou didn't even bother looking at Chu Qingqing, she just said to him, "Did you broke into someone else's dream again?"

"This is not something I can control," Cheng Jinyang said helplessly, spreading his hands. "And this young lady, Qingqing, seems to harbor deep hostility and... um, misunderstandings towards me because of it."

"Nothing to misunderstand." Wang Wanrou said unceremoniously, "If you don't control your ability to wander around recklessly, you'll regret it sooner or later."

"I wish I could." Cheng Jinyang sighed.

"Wait a minute." Chu Qingqing suddenly asked coldly, her face as if covered in frost, "Did you tell Wang Wanrou about my situation?"

"Enough, I have no interest in your private affairs," Wang Wanrou said disdainfully. "If you hadn't woken me up with your noise outside, I wouldn't even bother coming out."

" What's going on?" Xing Yuanzhi's voice sounded behind her. "You guys are not sleeping late at night, instead causing a ruckus outside..."

She walked out yawning, only to see Cheng Jinyang with a wry smile on his face, and Chu Qingqing with a vigilant face next to him.

Xing Yuanzhi: !!!

"No way?" she exclaimed, "Jinyang, did you get involved with someone else again?!"

" How dare you groundlessly tarnish someone's innocence like this!" Cheng Jinyang also stood up indignantly, widening his eyes. "This is force majeure!"

"What innocence?" Xing Yuanzhi sneered, with her arms folded. "How did I come to know you? And how did you hook up with Miss Wang?"

"Hook up with me?" Wang Wanrou's face darkened, evidently taking issue with the choice of words.

"How can you call it hook up!" Under the accusation of being a scumbag in front of Chu Qingqing, Cheng Jinyang's face also turned red, "Mutual consent, can that be called hook up?"

So, Chu Qingqing's expression quickly became exciting. She looked incredulously at Xing Yuanzhi and Wang Wanrou, then suspiciously at Cheng Jinyang. Finally, she couldn't help but take a few steps back, consciously distancing herself from this despicable man.

Cheng Jinyang: ...........

"So, can anyone explain this to me?" Chu Qingqing extended her hand flat, and the metal flowed into the gap of the door, filling it smoothly.

"I've already explained," Cheng Jinyang said. "It's just a coincidence, nobody knew I would enter someone else's dream tonight, and why that person happened to be you."

"He spoke the truth, I can assure you," Wang Wanrou said calmly.

Chu Qingqing had nothing to say in response. If she could doubt Cheng Jinyang's explanation, she had no way to object to Wang Wanrou's guarantee.

The head of the Five Great Families, the core member of the Taiyuan Wang Family, is not someone she can casually challenge and interrogate.

However, what puzzles Chu Qingqing even more than Wang Wanrou's willingness to vouch for him is: Why would Miss Wang and Miss Ah Zhi be living in this man's house?
