NFBE Chapter 76: The Case of Capture
Chapter 76: The Case of Capture
You really want to close your eyes, fall backward, and pretend to faint.
But as you breathe, you choke on the bile remaining in your mouth and begin to cough violently.
"Cough cough cough..."
This plan to fake fainting has failed. Who coughs and faints at the same time? It's obviously fake!
You coughed, raising your hand as if trying to speak: "Cough cough cough... I'm... fine... cough cough cough..."
Qin Che's brows furrowed deeply as the object in his hand was carried into the house by his Evol.
A broad, warm hand gently patted your back.
You forced yourself to swallow the cough with your eyes closed, and then quickly apologized for getting his shoes dirty.
The next second, I felt my body lighten as he picked me up.
"Why didn't you say you were uncomfortable?" Qin Che's tone was heavy, and his whole being exuded an indescribable and terrifying aura.
You're used to being thick-skinned in front of him, and you keep making excuses: "It's just a bit of a stomachache, I bought some medicine, I was just too hungry, it's nothing serious."
"Hungry? You're so hungry you'd throw up? I bet you're no more than three years old."
"What do you mean, are you just here to argue?" Already feeling unwell, and having not heard a single kind word since we met, a strange sense of grievance began to grow within you, yet you still stubbornly insisted: "Then let me tell you the real reason my stomach hurts! This morning, yes, just now, someone stuck a thorn in my stomach, but it went astray and ended up in my stomach. How about that answer, are you satisfied?"
"..."
Qin Che was rendered silent by your actions.
After you finished venting, you felt good, but seeing Qin Che's somewhat unpleasant expression, you regretted it a little. You tentatively asked, "Are you angry?"
"No."
"Then why don't you speak."
Qin Che placed you on the sofa in the living room.
She continued, "I'm afraid of upsetting you. In a little while, someone will say that I made her throw up. Anyway, I won't admit that I didn't eat properly."
You muttered to yourself, "Isn't this what you taught me? Always look for problems in other people."
Qin Che's gaze was somewhat frightening, but you forced yourself to remain calm.
The silence didn't disappear; it just shifted and moved around.
You just wave your hand and break it.
"Eat, eat, eat quickly! Where's my takeout? Bring it to me."
The takeout food and the paper bag containing medicine were carried away by Evol and flew into Qin Che's hands.
He sat down next to you, unwrapped the takeout packaging, and frowned as he looked at the bowl of plain white porridge on the coffee table.
"You only eat this kind of food that has no nutritional value?"
"...I haven't eaten anything all day, let me have something to eat first."
"All day?" Qin Che's tone was unfriendly.
"Uh..." It seems you accidentally revealed something, and you look at him with a somewhat ingratiating expression.
"Is this how you work?" He met your gaze, without a hint of a smile.
"It was an accident, really an accident." You hurriedly turned your face away and started to remove the lid of the takeout box, trying to hide your guilty conscience.
"Have some to eat first, then I'll order you something new."
You tried to refuse, but he glared at you and shut you down. He then made some changes on his phone.
He stood up and asked, "Where is the water?"
"kitchen."
Qin Che strode into the kitchen, and you immediately felt the oppressive aura around you disappear. You breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear his voice again.
"There is no hot water?"
"Um... the water needs to be boiled."
Where is the kettle?
Oh my god, this is a question for you! You don't know either?
The person who had only drunk bottled water since arriving was sweating profusely.
