Chapter 148 - 146: Breakfast
For Chen Xin, this may have been the most comfortable sleep he had in a long time.
Soft white noise, warm-toned dim lights, and Hong Rui’s specially-made incense, all of these helped ease the tension he had been carrying for this period of time.
Once he relaxed, he naturally fell into a deep sleep and woke up naturally.
Opening his eyes, Chen Xin saw Qin Lan asleep at the bedside, showing a surprised expression, he moved slightly, waking Qin Lan up.
"Xin, you’re awake?" Qin Lan seemed not to be in a deep sleep, she quickly woke up and upon seeing Chen Xin awake, she hurriedly asked with concern: "How are you feeling, any better?"
"Much better. After sleeping, I’m fine now. Lan, why didn’t you sleep in the bed next to mine? Lying like that is uncomfortable!" Seeing the red mark on Qin Lan’s face from leaning for too long, Chen Xin felt a bit distressed.
However, Qin Lan just smiled indifferently and comforted Chen Xin: "Don’t worry about me, I am a special forces officer, trained professionally. This is nothing to me."
After saying this, Qin Lan stood up, stretched lazily, moved her muscles to show she was fine, then with some guilt, she said to Chen Xin: "Sorry for making you witness that scene last night. I should have handled it better, aiming for the torso."
If Chen Xin didn’t know anything, maybe he would believe Qin Lan’s words. But he saw with his own eyes his bullets leaving the gun, hitting the heads of those three criminals.
Yet, Chen Xin couldn’t say this aloud because he knew Qin Lan claimed responsibility to protect him.
