Chapter 2308: Love and Chaos System Showdown 32
Jin Chen and Zhou Du passed through the corridor and walked down the spiral staircase.
The chaos in the banquet hall downstairs had subsided considerably, but the atmosphere remained eerie.
The guests gathered in small groups, whispering, their eyes occasionally glancing toward the second floor and the outside garden, their faces still shocked and incredulous.
Jin Chen strode straight through the crowd toward the side door leading to the garden.
The garden was bathed in clear, cold moonlight.
On the lawn lay the bodyguards he had thrown down, sprawled haphazardly, unable to get up.
But looking closely, several bodyguards were in visibly worse condition—not only had they fallen from being thrown, but their faces and bodies also bore many fresh, purplish-red bruises and abrasions.
Not far away, Lin Xi leaned against a tree, his expression utterly dazed, his eyes staring blankly, as if his worldview had suffered a devastating blow.
Beside him lay several men in ordinary security uniforms, now bruised and swollen; they were clearly the Xie Family guards who had tried to rush upstairs for reinforcement but were intercepted midway.
And You Le'an stood with hands on hips before those most badly injured guards, his light-colored hair somewhat disheveled, his beautiful eyes flashing with a kind of……
pure and excited villainous radiance.
Lin Xi felt a dreamlike fleetingness—so this is the correct way to unleash a villain, huh!
Compared to this, the tricks You Le'an had used on him before were utterly insignificant!
You Le'an saw Jin Chen emerge from the side door.
His eyes lit up, he lunged forward, burying his head in Jin Chen's chest, arms tightly around his waist, face lifted as he urgently asked, "Are you okay? How's it going up there? Did they hurt you?"
He anxiously scanned Jin Chen up and down, as if to confirm not a single hair was missing.
"I'm fine."
Jin Chen steadied him, lowered his head to look at the person in his arms, and clearly saw a not-so-obvious red swelling near You Le'an's hairline, the skin even slightly broken, oozing traces of blood.
Jin Chen frowned, raised his hand, and gently touched the swelling, asking, "What happened?"
"Ah? This?"
You Le'an seemed only now to feel the pain, instinctively shrinking his neck, then immediately gave a careless grin, bringing his forehead close to Jin Chen's eyes.
"It's fine, fine! I just accidentally got hit by a stone… uh, by a branch blown by the wind, it doesn't hurt at all!"
He blinked his eyes, "Really! Just blow on it and it'll be fine!"
He muttered in a coquettish tone, his voice light.
Jin Chen said nothing, merely looking at him.
You Le'an felt a little guilty under his gaze, his eyes beginning to wander.
Just then, Lin Xi, who had been calmly leaning in Zhou Du's arms, could no longer hold back; his mouth twitched as he silently raised his hand, pointing to the Xie Family guards in the garden corner who had been beaten until their faces were swollen and bruised, curled up into balls, hardly human.
Then he spoke in a tone almost reverent:
"Brother, that… wasn't a branch… the situation was really intense."
"One against seven!"
Zhou Du followed with a look of admiration.
Leaving other things aside, the combat power value is simply a perfect match.
Jin Chen's gaze followed Lin Xi's finger and fell upon those miserable guards.
He then lowered his head to look at the person in his arms.
He helplessly chuckled, lowered his head as requested, and gently blew.
"Mm, blowing on it will make it not hurt." Jin Chen said.
You Le'an felt the warm breath brush over him, it tickled so he shrank his neck, satisfiedly burying his face back into Jin Chen's embrace.
"Mm! It doesn't hurt!"

——
The Xie Family's farce having settled, they returned to the Jin Family Villa, where You Le'an comfortably soaked in a hot bath, washing away fatigue and grass bits, then changed into soft sleepwear.
He stood before the mirror, gently touching the small red swelling on his forehead, thought it over, then still took out iodine and cotton swabs from the medicine box, holding these two items, purposefully and righteously making his way to Jin Chen's bedroom door.
Jin Chen was still in the master bedroom's bathroom, the water pattering.
You Le'an slipped in through the familiar door, sat cross-legged on the wide bed, idly swinging his feet, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing the cold glass of the iodine bottle, occasionally glancing at the blurry tall figure behind the bathroom's frosted glass door, his heartbeat quickening a bit uncontrollably.
The water sound stopped.
A moment later, the bathroom door was pulled open.
Steamy vapor surged out, Jin Chen stepped out amidst the mist, his waist loosely wrapped in a dark towel, water droplets sinking into the towel's edge.
Seeing You Le'an, Jin Chen's motion of drying his hair paused slightly, then he walked toward him.
You Le'an only felt hot air rising to his cheeks, his eyes involuntarily glued to that damp, alluring set of abs, his throat a little dry, he unconsciously……
swallowed a bit of saliva.
This faint sound was especially clear in the quiet bedroom.
Jin Chen's brow twitched slightly, his eyes gaining a hint of teasing amusement.
You Le'an's face reddened further, yet his lust was gallant.
He immediately jumped off the bed, barefoot on the soft carpet, recklessly lunging at Jin Chen, tiptoeing to press himself against that warm chest, lips puckered, goal clear: to kiss.
Jin Chen's warm hand timely gently gripped the back of his neck.
"What's the rush, apply the medicine first." Jin Chen gave a pinch.
"Oh……"
You Le'an's pursed lips pouted unwillingly, but he still obediently replied.
Yet he nonetheless seized the moment to press himself into Jin Chen's still-steamy embrace, his cheek against the man's cool, moist neck hollow.
Jin Chen let him cling, sat up on the bedhead, wrapped his arms around You Le'an's waist to steady him, and took the iodine and cotton swabs.
He lowered his head slightly, using the light to carefully examine the small red swelling and abrasion on You Le'an's forehead.
The iodine-soaked cotton swab lightly dabbed the wound.
"Hiss…"
You Le'an instinctively shrank back, not because it hurt, but because of that slight sting.
"Don't move."
Jin Chen's voice was gentle, but his hand movements were even more delicate.
After applying the medicine, he habitually blew on the small wound that had iodine on it, which looked a bit funny, doing so in a soothing manner.
A breeze carrying Jin Chen's scent brushed over the slightly cool skin of his forehead, and You Le'an comfortably narrowed his eyes like a cat being petted; that slight discomfort instantly vanished.
He lifted his face, actively moved in, and quickly planted a kiss on Jin Chen's chin, with a hint of bold affection.
Jin Chen lowered his head, precisely catching his slightly parted lips, and bestowed an exceedingly gentle kiss, slow and unhurried, as if savoring it.
You Le'an closed his eyes, immersed in the familiar warmth, and tightened his arms around him.
After the kiss ended, both of their breaths were a little unsteady.
