Chapter 340 - 347 Discussion Discussion
Li Yifei wasn’t a stranger to such preposterous behavior, having indulged in it years before to distract himself from the urge to kill, also because life was so uncertain—no one knew if they would still be alive the next day. So, his actions were unrestrained, but back then it involved women of easy virtue or those picked up in bars, so he never gave it much thought.
But now, the ones here were Chu Xiaoyao and Xu Yingying. Moreover, the main reason he had brought Chu Xiaoyao back was precisely to avoid being with Xu Yingying, so how could he possibly agree to such a ludicrous suggestion?
After some persuasion, Chu Xiaoyao finally agreed to share a bed with Xu Yingying, and Li Yifei ended up sleeping on the sofa.
That night, Xu Yingying slept poorly. Though Chu Xiaoyao did fall asleep, her body would occasionally jerk violently or she would suddenly cry out.
Xu Yingying knew Chu Xiaoyao was scared, so it was no surprise she was having such reactions. Xu Yingying felt sorry for her. Despite being worn out from the night, she bore no grudges. Besides, she suddenly understood how hard raising children could be; worrying incessantly if it were her own child.
You don’t know the cost of living until you run a household, nor the love of parents until you raise a child. Xu Yingying had never thought having a baby was all that complicated, but now she had gotten a glimpse of understanding. Maybe giving birth might be easy, but raising a child was the real challenge.
The next day, Li Yifei accompanied Chu Xiaoyao to the Public Security Bureau. They were not received by Lin Qiong, but by the criminal police team. Although Lin Qiong’s police station had cracked the case, it had become a criminal matter and so had been transferred here.
Chu Xiaoyao recounted the previous day’s events, only she described Li Yifei as some stranger. After all, the man didn’t recognize Li Yifei either, so it seemed plausible.
The police also interrogated the man, whose account matched Chu Xiaoyao’s closely. Li Yifei actually wanted to get some different information from the police, but since they didn’t recognize him, naturally they didn’t share anything.
Li Yifei was with Chu Xiaoyao the whole time, listening to everything she recounted clearly.
