Chapter 2853: My Wife Keeps Following Me Every Day 13

~7 min read 1,320 words

Feng Qiu's warehouse is in West City Park District.

"Chen-ge, this batch of beans are all in-demand goods; I specially saved them for you."

"Ethiopia Geisha, washed process, the flavor is incredibly clean, and also this batch of Brazil."

He enthusiastically introduced, while calling over the two workers in the warehouse who were organizing the shelves to move the goods.

They didn't notice, or rather, ordinary people would hardly notice, the person in the shadowy corner across from the warehouse, separated by the empty loading area.

No one understands concealment better than a rabbit beastperson.

Yun Jian stared at the two figures at the warehouse entrance, seemingly chatting happily.

He thought, Jin Chen indeed has the capital to make people smile for him; he doesn't need to deliberately do anything, just standing there is enough to make people willingly come over, say more, and show more smiles.

How could one expect others not to notice Jin Chen?

Yun Jian felt an indescribable emotion welling up, wanting to hide Jin Chen, just as a rabbit hoards its favorite food, hiding it where only it can see, so that no one would look at him with that gaze, nor be intimate and joke with him.

Jin Chen had been listening to Feng Qiu's speech, but suddenly, sensing something, he turned his head toward the direction where Yun Jian was, his gaze cold.

Not the usual casual indifference, but a cold filled with scrutiny and vigilance.

Yun Jian had never been looked at by Jin Chen with such eyes, yet he did not feel afraid.

Damn sexy.

Yun Jian let out a silent sigh in his heart, hid further in the darkness, and lowered his cap brim even more.

He knew Jin Chen was not simple—able to sneak into the underground boxing arena alone on a rainy night and come out unharmed—how could he be just an ordinary coffee shop owner?

But Jin Chen seemed unable to distinguish between humans and beastpeople at all.

That day at the underground boxing arena, Jin Chen's gaze toward those beastpeople was like looking at a group of oddly behaving ordinary people.

Really... adorably foolish.

Yun Jian thought, licking his slightly dry lips, and actually felt a hint of pity arise.

His fondness for Jin Chen, in the dark soil, grew wildly another inch.

At the warehouse entrance, Jin Chen withdrew his gaze looking into the distance, his brow furrowed slightly, detecting no danger.

However, this reminded him of something.

Since returning from the underground boxing arena last time, he immediately found Tan Quan and Song Cun, one thing after another, and he hasn't had the chance to thoroughly investigate the mystery surrounding Tan Quan's body.

After all, Tan Quan, as the greatest threat, exudes a non-human sense of discomfort, which is strange.

Perhaps he should go investigate again.

Jin Chen declined Feng Qiu's invitation to drink, saying there were still matters at the shop and he needed to hurry back.

"So urgent?" Feng Qiu felt a bit regretful, "I was still hoping to have a couple drinks with you."

"Next time, I really have something to do."

"Alright, then let's make plans for next time."

Jin Chen got into the car and started the engine.

As the car drove out of the warehouse courtyard, he glanced again at the rearview mirror.

Yun Jian murmured doubtfully, "How come there's still something..."

Yun Jian thought it over, found a nearby used car dealership, and deliberately chose an inconspicuous van.

After driving two blocks, Jin Chen sensed something was off.

A vehicle was following him.

The van looked neither new nor old, very inconspicuous, but kept a not-too-close, not-too-far distance; when he accelerated, it accelerated, when he decelerated, it decelerated—no coincidence.

Jin Chen's brows furrowed, he glanced at the rearview mirror, and pressed the accelerator.

He changed lanes several times in a row, then suddenly turned right at an intersection, turning onto a one-way street.

Yun Jian: "……"

He actually lost track.

Yun Jian stopped the car, stared at the moving red dot on the map; the location showed Jin Chen heading toward South City.

……It was the underground boxing arena.

So Jin Chen's so-called business was actually going there again.

Jin Chen likely took the main entrance, but he could go via another route to get there earlier than Jin Chen.

——

Seeing Jin Chen enter, Yun Jian deliberately waited a moment before following him in.

He didn't know what Jin Chen was doing here, but wanting to protect Jin Chen's safety, this place was too chaotic, with too many beastpeople and mixed desires; some individuals simply couldn't control their instinctive impulses.

He would allow no one to harm Jin Chen, nor allow anyone to covet what they shouldn't.

If such people truly exist, then let them wait for death.

Yun Jian put on his mask, furthermore deliberately restrained his aura; as a rabbit beastperson, he naturally excels at concealing his aura, and with special means he can completely mask his presence, so Jin Chen won't detect him.

He followed behind Jin Chen, keeping a safe distance, and entered the interior of the boxing arena.

Underground boxing arena.

Even during the day, the atmosphere here is oppressive, the lighting dim, the air stale; on the platform, fighters are already warming up, while a few spectators sit scattered in the audience.

Jin Chen found a seat toward the back and sat down, his gaze falling on the platform.

He came today mainly to carefully observe the fighters here; last time he came in a rush, didn't have a chance to observe, but he always felt that Tan Quan and these people share some similar trait—wildness, restlessness, that... non-human feeling.

How strange—why doesn't Cold Medicine say this world has monsters?

Jin Chen sat in the stands, casually glancing, his gaze indifferent, yet he noticed a sticky stare fixed on him; just as he was about to turn his head, his phone vibrated—a message from an unknown number.

-Why are you here again? I'm really happy; here I can openly stare at you.

Jin Chen's brows furrowed.

What a weird thing.

-Why do you always stare at the boxers on stage? Their muscles are disgusting, and their desire to kill the opponent is also disgusting. Aren't you very fond of cleanliness? Please don't look at them, okay?

-Baby, I can also box, I can also dress like that for you to see; will you always watch me? I will—oh, I can see whatever you're doing.

-Baby, your eyes are so beautiful, you can't see mine, but my eyes only have you.

Jin Chen: "……"

Really seeing ghosts.

He turned his head to look, but everyone in the audience seats wore masks and identical cloaks, making it impossible to tell who was who.

Everyone was watching the fighting stage; no one was watching him.

He lowered his head and typed a reply: 'Who are you?'

-I've been watching you, baby, but I won't tell you.

-Your furrowed brow looks so cute, I want to lick it smooth with the tip of my tongue.

-Your fingers are tapping the phone screen quickly; are you angry? I also like the look of you being angry.

-Stop looking, you won't find me, but I'll always be by your side, always watching you.

Jin Chen: "……"

He expressionlessly blocked that number.

999 is still upgrading its heartbeat detector; it can't be used by shouting.

He missed Zero Egg a lot in the small world.

But the feeling of being watched remained, and grew stronger; Jin Chen couldn't help it and turned his head to look again.

This time he didn't find the voyeur, but instead first saw another familiar figure.

Tan Quan also came; that sneaky kid slipped into the passage behind the boxing arena, without cloak or mask, and sneaked into the passage.

Jin Chen raised an eyebrow, stood up, secured his mask, and followed.
