Clearly, the number he dialed was completely different from Chen Jing’s. After one ring, it was picked up. Yu Xi responded with a noncommittal “mm” and then hung up.
He didn’t know what he was thinking, but after making the call, he quickly came back up, taking a few steps to stand next to Chen Jing, but still facing away from her, leaning on the railing without saying a word.
Chen Jing silently watched him, always feeling a creepy sensation. Now seeing him like this, she couldn’t help but feel even more uneasy.
…What was this sulking atmosphere like a little wife?
Fortunately, this weird atmosphere didn’t last long. Yu’s mother arrived quickly, her high heels clicking urgently from outside, making eye contact with Yu Xi upstairs.
Catching the gloomy look in her son’s eyes, Yu’s mother’s heart skipped a beat, then turned to look at Chen Jing.
Chen Jing slightly curved her lips, smiling very softly.
Yu’s mother instinctively smiled back, but her mouth corners were a bit stiff. She couldn’t help but look at her son again – she had only been away for a short while, Yu Xi wouldn’t have done anything crazy, right?
Yu Xi needed only one glance to know what his mother was thinking. His already gloomy eyes became somewhat irritable, giving her a warning look before turning away, head lowered as if deep in thought.
Yu’s mother silently withdrew her gaze. With her son right in front of her, she was no longer in a hurry.
After going upstairs, she smiled at Chen Jing and invited her to sit on the sofa.
Chen Jing naturally nodded.
When Yu’s mother said these words, her eyes were fixed on Chen Jing, seemingly filled with hatred. Halfway through, she suddenly stopped, turning her face away, her thin shoulders trembling slightly, as if she was crying.
The bad premonition was completely confirmed. As soon as Chen Jing’s mind cleared, she was already stunned.
Thinking about it, could it be possible that the male lead’s illness was because of the original host?
Chen Jing sat stiffly on the sofa, dazed for a while, before finally finding her voice: “Auntie… You can’t be mistaken, right?”
For some reason, after hearing the cause of the male lead’s illness, she felt a vague discomfort in her heart.
Moreover, this was all Yu’s mother’s one-sided account. Chen Jing hadn’t seen the outline or experienced it personally.
Thinking about Yin’s mother in real life, who wanted her to enter these small worlds to treat Yin Li, and looking at Yu’s mother, who was not much different, Chen Jing sighed, feeling somewhat relieved.
In the end, they were all doing it for their sons.
Chapter 69 Obsessive Maniac 4
Hearing the subtle doubt and expectation in Chen Jing’s words, Yu’s mother turned back, her mood slightly complex, and looked at her.
This glance was profound. Chen Jing’s heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm on the surface, suppressing the unease that had just emerged in her mind, smiling steadily and looking back calmly.
Yu’s mother suddenly laughed, “Xiao Jing, your mother always said you’re a good child. At first, I thought she was just boasting, but now I see I was wrong.”
Chen Jing frowned.
“Don’t panic,” Yu’s mother regained her composure, “I’m telling you this not to threaten you. Auntie has a favor to ask.”
“Please go ahead. I’ll definitely help if I can,” Chen Jing said seriously.
“Then I won’t be polite,” Yu’s mother smiled, “I want to keep you here for Xiao Xi’s illness.
Chen Jing’s expression slightly froze. Yu Xi’s condition was unstable and could erupt and harm someone at any time. As his psychologist, it was normal to stay by his side.
What puzzled Chen Jing was why she was asking as if begging when it was just a request for her to stay at the Yu household. Surely, with Yu family’s financial resources and influence, if they were eager to treat Yu Xi, she wouldn’t be the best choice.
But maybe she was overthinking things. It was originally a normal situation: Yu Xi was sick, his mother was worried about outsiders, and her friend’s daughter happened to be an expert in this field, so she was invited to treat her son. Very normal, completely understandable.
This was truly impolite and inappropriate. She needed to stop these meaningless thoughts and reflect carefully! Thinking this way, her heart felt much lighter. Chen Jing couldn’t help but smile: “No problem.”
“That’s great, thank you.”
Yu’s mother’s heart relaxed.
Chen Jing hurriedly said it was nothing, and Yu’s mother praised her. They chatted and laughed for a while, then Yu’s mother personally saw her to her room, and the matter was concluded.
Thinking about it, the boy’s appearance in her memory had become blurry. She wasn’t sleepy and felt bored sitting on the bed, so she took out her phone and started browsing through her old classmates’ photos on QQ Space.
However, this action directly drove Yu Xi mad.
The first part was fine, but when a photo of the original owner’s ex-boyfriend flashed by and Chen Jing carefully looked at it again, Yu Xi’s eyes turned blood-red. He grabbed the ashtray from the bedside table and smashed it towards the TV.
He aimed it precisely at the ex-boyfriend’s face.
With a loud bang, the TV was left with a big hole, the screen forcibly interrupted and turned black. Yu Xi was breathing heavily, pacing around the bed, remembering that man from years ago. His emotions churned in his chest, his eyes filled with hostility, and he opened the door and went next door.
The soundproofing was so good that Chen Jing, sitting on the bed next door, didn’t hear a thing.
Yu’s mother, unable to sleep, was sitting on the living room sofa with her eyes closed. The loud noise startled her, making her scalp tingle.
She suddenly turned back and saw Yu Xi preparing to kick Chen Jing’s door.
“Yu Xi!” Yu’s mother called out.
Yu Xi’s raised foot froze mid-air, slowly turning back, looking at his mother with a sinister gaze.
Yu’s mother anxiously walked over: “Yu Xi, what’s wrong?”
Yu Xi’s face was tense, his eyes full of cold murderous intent: “Interfere again, and I’ll kill you too.”
Yu’s mother: “…” Knowing her son never jokes, she turned pale and went back to her bedroom.
Yu Xi ignored her, pursed his lips, and didn’t kick the door. He placed his hand on the doorknob and slowly pushed it open.
Chen Jing was sitting with her back to the door, browsing through the original owner’s “youth” photos.
For some reason, they looked increasingly familiar.
It seemed these photos weren’t the original owner’s experiences, but her own.
But when she thought about it carefully, her head started to ache, so Chen Jing gave up.
Just as she was about to sigh, a shadow suddenly appeared above her head.
Chen Jing looked up in confusion: “…Yu Xi?”
Yu Xi’s face was expressionless, his gaze on her somewhat chilling: “Enjoying the view?”
Before Chen Jing could respond, his eyes turned fierce, and he picked her up around her waist and walked away.
“!”
Chen Jing was startled and quickly wrapped her arms around his neck: “What are you doing?”
“Yu Xi?”
“Hey!
Chen Jing’s face darkened: “If you don’t speak, I’ll get angry.”
Yu Xi paused, looking down at her, his eyes blood-red, glaring at her viciously. This look was as if she had committed an unforgivable crime.
Chen Jing was bewildered: “What’s wrong?”
Yu Xi gritted his teeth, slowly beginning to tremble.
Chen Jing felt a headache: “No, what are you angry about? Tell me.”
His face instantly turned iron-blue, his tone almost gnashing: “That man, why were you looking at him?”
Yu Xi deeply sighed in his heart, feeling that Jing Jing was truly perfect.
As for Jing Jing’s teasing words—Yu Xi pursed his lips and strode forward, heading straight towards the basement around the staircase corner. He was going to take her there, to show her how useless that man was.
