Chapter 88 As early as possible
Seeing that the bed was empty, Luo Xiaolei was suddenly worried. Even though, the words written on the headboard told her that the two little buns purposely left the room to give them space, Luo Xiaolei was still troubled about their whereabouts.
She then turned to Yu Chen but before she could even ask, she saw Yu Chen’s creased brows, telling her that he seemed to be surprised as well.
"You don’t know where they are?" Luo Xiaolei asked, her eyes were slightly widened.
Yu Chen didn’t reply. He instead quickly slipped his hand in his pocket and took his phone out. He then dialed a number and Luo Xiaolei could somehow feel that he was as worried as her.
The call promptly connected and Yu Chen wasted no time and spoke. "Where are the twins?" he asked, his voice was hard and authoritative, Lou Xiaolei even felt the hair on her skin raise for a moment.
And then in no time at all, Yu Chen put down his phone and he looked at Luo Xiaolei. "Old Zhang said he left them sleeping on the bed."
"Then, where did they go?"
"I believe they’re sleeping somewhere inside the house. I’ll go look for them."
"I’ll come with you."
Yu Chen, who was about to dash out of their room, halted as he looked at Luo Xiaolei.
"But you need to rest." He said, hesitation and worry were evident in his voice.
"I’m totally fine, okay? My stomach is full now so you have nothing to worry about." Luo Xiaolei assured and without waiting for Yu Chen’s response, she walked passed him and walked out of their room.
After some moments, they finally entered the last room they hadn’t checked yet but the little buns weren’t there. It made Luo Xiaolei start to really feel worried.
Noticing her reaction, Yu Chen reached out and he held her hand, squeezed it, as if telling her not to worry.
"I think I know where they are."
"Where?"
Yu Chen glanced at the ceiling before he looked at Luo Xiaolei. "Stay here, I’ll go get them." He said but before Yu Chen could pull his hand away, Luo Xiaolei was already gripping his hand hard.
"No, I’ll come with you." She insisted and Yu Chen could only agree.
They entered the large study room again. Luo Xiaolei was following Yu Chen from behind, their hands still intertwined. She was curious as to why Yu Chen led her here since they just checked this room out a moment ago.
Yu Chen walked straight towards a plain wall between two shelves and then he pushed a certain part of it with his palm. The wall suddenly opened, surprising Luo Xiaolei. So there are hidden chambers here?
After they entered the secret door, they climbed up another set of stairs. It looked like they were heading towards the attic.
And then, they reached another door. Luo Xiaolei was quiet as she just watched him from behind.
Yu Chen knocked lightly before twisting the door knob. The moment he pushed it opened, what Luo Xiaolei saw inside rendered her somewhat speechless.
The first thing she saw were two young men sitting on the floor, leaning on the side of two beds, facing each other. The black-haired one was leaning his head back on the bed with his eyes closed while the one with a bronze hair looked like he was playing something on his phone. Then she saw Little Rui and Little Ran sleeping separately on each bed. Obviously, the little buns seemed to have snatched Juu and Kyuu’s bed and they now had nowhere to sleep but on the floor. More importantly, now that the two were no longer dressed like some bank robbers, and were now dressed in simple dark colored t-shirts, their looks now turned somehow... quite innocent? Although, their pale skin still made them looked like a pair of good looking vampires who came straight out of a movie.
Luo Xiaolei could only blink as the two simultaneously turned to them. There was no surprise in their eyes and they even seemed to be expecting them.
"They were already asleep when we arrived." The bronze-haired man named Juu said as he stood.
"Mm. They might have discovered this place on their own. We’re taking them away so you two can now sleep." Yu Chen replied when Juu smiled and shook his head.
"It’s okay, we can sleep just fine on the floor and I think they like it here." Juu reasoned out while the quiet one who remained sitting on the floor nodded his agreement.
The interior of the room was devastatingly bland, dark and there was literally nothing inside aside from the two beds. This was even more lifeless than Yu Chen’s room the first time she saw it. But somehow, Luo Xiaolei couldn’t deny that Ranran and Rui must really have liked this place, simply because the ceiling of this room was made of glass and the sky, filled with stars, could be seen when you lie on the bed. She was sure that this attracted the boys very much, but there was no way she could let this two sleep on the floor, even if they said so.
"No, no. You guys absolutely can’t sleep on the floor. Ah... it’s already past midnight so you two need to rest now, okay?" she said as she went straight towards the bed without waiting for their reply.
"She’s right, you both need rest." Yu Chen supported Luo Xiaolei before he too walked towards the other bed.
By the time Yu Chen and Luo Xiaolei were now both carrying a sleeping bun, Yu Chen turned to the duo, who were now both standing, looking like they were sending them off out of their room.
"Now sleep both of you. Also, Juu, stop playing games and sleep." Yu Chen sounded like a strict granddad and yet the two immediately nodded like they were some obedient pet, causing Luo Xiaolei to almost whistle in awe. Why does it feel like these two aren’t just Yu Chen’s body guards but also his pets?
She looked at Kyuu, the one who broke into that car like a black spider man, and she saw his pale arms wrapped with bandages here and there. There’s Band-Aid on his face as well. She knew he must have got those wounds from the window he shattered to save her. Luo Xiaolei wanted to say something but she hesitated.
In the end, all she could say was "Goodnight."
Juu responded with a smile while Kyuu simply nodded again.
In the bed room, while both of them took turns tucking the twins in their usual spot, Luo Xiaolei grinned at the two sleeping buns who were so eager to sell their mommy away.
"I wonder how this two will react if they wake up sleeping with us." She chuckled, obviously amused as she imagined their disappointed faces, when Yu Chen spoke.
"Xiaolei..."
"Hm?"
"I am thinking about having a separate bedroom for them." He said, his eyes were looking at the two sleeping buns while Luo Xiaolei slightly choked herself.
Cough, cough!
Before Luo XIaolei could even say anything, Yu Chen shifted his gaze to her, and then he continued. "It’d be bad if they accidentally witness you teaching me those lessons. And I want you to start teaching me as early as possible."
