I Hate You, Devil! Chapter 154 'Fast pass'

Chapter 154 “Fast pa.s.s“

They had arrived at the orphanage where the twins were staying before Luo Xiaolei took them home with her.

After introducing Yu Chen to the caretakers of the orphanage, Luo Xiaolei immediately brought him down to the bas.e.m.e.nt.

Luo Xiaolei was still holding his hand as she almost dragged him towards the room. They walked through a narrow corridor which eventually led to a single, solid door at the end.

Luo Xiaolei was unusually quiet. Silence filled the atmosphere as Luo Xiaolei seemed to be deep in her thoughts as they walked and Yu Chen didn't seem like he wanted to break the silence. After a few more steps, they finally reached the closed door. She stopped suddenly and instead of opening the door, she turned to look at him, still holding on to his hand.

She stared at him intently before she opened her mouth to speak. "Yu Chen, can I ask you one more question first?"

Yu Chen didn't even hesitate and quickly nodded in answer to her question.

"Uhm… what do you think about Xiao Mimi?" she asked, her eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with curiosity. She didn't know why but her stomach was suddenly in knots, her palms started to sweat and her heart was suddenly beating fast. She had to force herself to look at him in the eye as she antic.i.p.ated his answer.

"She's interesting." He said, his eyes filled with nothing but sincerity and Luo Xiaolei pressed her lips tightly to stop herself from grinning. His answer was unexpected but in a good way, so she immediately felt her body relax again.

"Anything else?"

"She's wonderful."

"Really? What do you think is wonderful about her?"

"Her voice."

"Just her voice?"

"Everything about her."

"Would you still like her if you met her?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure?"

"Very sure."

"Do you want to meet her?"

"Yes."

Luo Xiaolei could no longer stop herself. She couldn't explain what she felt at that moment. As she stared at him, digesting all his responses, her heart was racing erratically. Seeing the sincerity in his dark and absolutely breathtaking eyes and hearing the honesty in his heartmelting voice was making her feel like she was intoxicated.

Before she knew what she was doing, her arms suddenly wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer to her.

"Okay then, I'll introduce her to you but you have to let me kiss you first." She said and she tiptoed before she crashed her lips to his.

She felt like her blood boiled under her skin as she kissed him and she suddenly knotted her fingers through his hair. But then, before the man could even react, she abruptly stopped. Her eyes were wild as she held his face just inches away from hers.

She kept her eyes on him until the excitement calmed down and then, an impish smile slowly carved on her face.

"That was your 'fast pa.s.s'," she said. Her ears burning a bit as she let go of him. She then opened the door slowly.

Yu Chen finally moved. He straightened up as he stood behind her, his eyes glued on her as his lips curved into a satisfied smile.

Once they were inside, Yu Chen looked around. He didn't seem to be surprised at all and he didn't look for the girl that Luo Xiaolei said she'd introduce him to.

Seeing this, Luo Xiaolei sighed.

"This is where you create your songs?" he asked and Luo Xiaolei pouted.

"When did you find out?" she asked, still pouting because she couldn't even surprise this man. "Wait… could it be that you already knew before I even set foot in your house?"

"Why would you say that?"

"Well, you're Yu Chen. It's definitely very easy for someone like you to find out if you wanted to."

"Do you really think I secretly investigated everything about you? What you like, your hobbies, your past?" He looked at her intensely as he asked this question.

Luo Xiaolei was quick to shake her head. Despite the fact that it might seem natural for him to investigate everything about the woman he brought home, she just knew that this man would never do that.

"So, it was the song?" she said and Yu Chen nodded.

"There were a lot of clues aside from the song. The song just confirmed it."

"Sigh… It's really impossible to surprise you, isn't it?"

"Impossible? You just gave me a shock just now."

"Oh, a-aside from that."

"How long have you been working in here?" Yu Chen began to ask as his eyes continued roaming around. He was looking at everything inside the studio as if he was memorizing every little detail inside it.

Luo Xiaolei then answered him. She told him that she found this place because of the twins and that this place was once used by a rapper duo who were now famous. They abandoned it and donated it to the orphanage, which Luo Xiaolei bought at a considerable price.

"You're not going to ask me why I hide my face?"

"There's a saying…'Move in silence. Only speak when it's time to say checkmate.' I believe that's what you are thinking."

Yu Chen's answer rendered Luo Xiaolei speechless. Why did this man sometimes make her feel like he knew everything about her?

"How many entertainment companies tried to sign you up?"

"All of them."

"Do you have any plans to sign up with one of them?"

"Actually, uhm… remember the question from last night that I haven't answered yet?"

"Mm. Was that about it?"

"Hmm… nothing exactly but it's connected to it."

Yu Chen sat on one of the stools across her. He looked like he was ready to listen. However, Luo Xuaolei suddenly stood up and held his hand.

"I'm not going to tell you about it here. I still need to show you one last place. I'll tell you everything when we are there." She said and dragged Yu Chen out of the studio with a wide smile on her face.
