Chapter 169 Ancient People
Seeing this, Su Wuli realized that she had misunderstood and was about to explain.
However, it was too late.
Lin Liwen's legs went weak and she fell backward.
Su Wuli quickly reached out and hugged Lin Liwen, causing her to lean back against the weight.
Lin Liwen was quite heavy, and she stumbled and almost lost her balance.
The next instant, a dark shadow flashed before my eyes.
A hand reached out and grabbed Lin Liwen by the back of her collar, like grabbing a rabbit.
Su Wuli felt a sudden lightness in her hand; Lin Liwen had already been lifted up and suspended in mid-air by Yu Chen.
He turned around, took a step, and placed the unconscious Lin Liwen directly on the sofa.
Lin Liwen slumped softly on the sofa, her head tilted to one side.
Su Wuli's eyelids twitched as she watched his movements.
She quickly spoke up to stop him, "Be gentle..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Chen turned to look at her.
She continued, "She's a person, not a rabbit."
He glanced at Lin Liwen, who was unconscious on the sofa, and then looked back at her.
He said calmly, "I didn't hurt myself."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Wuli wanted to say something, but then swallowed it back.
Forget it.
She walked to the sofa and looked down at Lin Liwen.
Although his face was still pale, his breathing had become steady, so he must have just fainted from fright.
She breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Yu Chen.
"Where did you go? I thought you went back."
He lifted the rabbit in his hand higher. "See this?"
She paused for a moment and looked towards the balcony.
The cage was placed in the corner of the balcony, a spot that was conveniently hidden by the curtains.
When she ran out to look for him, she only looked at the living room, kitchen, and laundry room; she didn't look at the balcony at all.
She never expected him to go see the rabbits.
Yu Chen handed her the rabbit he was holding.
Su Wuli took it and held it in her arms, noticing that the rabbit's ears were still twitching.
She looked up at him.
"Did the rabbit escape?" she asked.
He glanced at the balcony. "It ran out as soon as I opened the cage."
Su Wuli paused slightly. The cage was open?
She clearly closed it...
A deep, resonant voice rang out, "The rabbit wants to come out."
Did the rabbit figure it out?
Lin Liwen's eyelids suddenly twitched on the sofa. She opened her eyes, her gaze was unfocused for two seconds, and then slowly focused.
Seeing this, Su Wuli breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before she could speak, Lin Liwen's gaze was fixed on Yu Chen.
Suddenly she screamed and jumped up from the sofa, shrinking back.
She frantically backed away, almost falling off the sofa.
"No...no...don't come any closer." Her voice was hoarse. "Ghost...there's a ghost."
Su Wuli quickly put down the rabbit and went over to hold her down.
"Sister Wen, Sister Wen." She grabbed Lin Liwen's arm. "He's not a ghost."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Liwen froze.
She looked at Su Wuli and then at the man beside her, her mouth agape for a long time without making a sound.
"No...not a ghost?" Lin Liwen's voice was still trembling, somewhat uncertain.
Su Wuli bit her lip.
How so?
Is he a villain in a novel?
She opened her mouth, and said ambiguously, "He is... an ancient person."
Lin Liwen glared at her.
"Ancient people?" she repeated, asking incredulously, "What does 'ancient people' mean?"
"It's..." Su Wuli paused, "...people from ancient times."
Lin Liwen's mouth opened even wider.
She looked at the man standing at the balcony door, dressed in ancient costume, looking exactly like an ancient person. But with a living ancient person standing in the house, she seemed more accepting of the other person being a ghost.
"You..." Lin Liwen's hands were still trembling, "Was the person in your dream before him?"
Su Wuli nodded.
Lin Liwen took a deep breath and then exhaled.
"And now?" her voice trembled. "Am I dreaming now?"
After saying that, she pinched the back of her hand hard.
"Hiss—" Lin Liwen gasped, looking down at her reddened hand.
The pain wasn't from a dream.
She looked up at Su Wuli, her expression full of confusion.
Su Wuli looked at her and whispered, "I don't know either."
Lin Liwen was stunned. "You didn't know?"
Su Wuli shook her head, "Before, it was all in my dreams, but later... he was able to come here, I don't know why."
Lin Liwen looked at her, then at Yu Chen.
He just stood there without saying a word, just watching them.
Those eyes were deep, and you couldn't tell what they were thinking.
Lin Liwen's legs started to feel weak again, and she slowly sat down, holding onto the sofa armrest.
"Let me catch my breath..." she murmured, "Let me catch my breath..."
After a while, Lin Liwen raised her head.
"You...you're really human?"
Yu Chen looked at her but didn't say anything.
Lin Liwen waited two seconds without receiving a reply, then turned to look at Su Wuli.
Why isn't he saying anything?
Su Wuli glanced at him and casually made up an excuse, "He...isn't very talkative."
"Fine, if you don't want to talk, then don't."
She leaned back on the sofa, still somewhat dazed. "I might still be dreaming, I must be dreaming."
She couldn't help but pinch herself again.
pain.
She closed her eyes, leaned back on the sofa, and took several deep breaths.
Su Wuli sat down next to her, and the gray rabbit had somehow come over and squatted down at her feet.
Lin Liwen opened her eyes and couldn't help but glance at the man in ancient costume again.
The expression gradually changed, from fear to confusion, and then to an indescribable... amazement.
Lin Liwen has been in the entertainment industry for twenty years.
What kind of male actors haven't I seen?
Top stars, veteran actors, young heartthrobs, handsome men, refined gentlemen, and roguishly charming men.
She's become numb to it all; nothing can hold her attention for long anymore.
But now she's staring so intently she's forgotten to blink; it's not a matter of being good-looking.
There are plenty of good-looking people in the entertainment industry.
But this person's appearance, combined with the aura he exudes, is completely different—something indescribable.
He just stood there doing nothing and saying nothing, yet he was captivating.
That aura was clearly not acted; it emanated from within.
Lin Liwen turned her head to look at Su Wuli.
"Has he... always been like this?"
Su Wuli asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Lin Liwen noticed Su Wuli looking over, "It's like this..." She paused, "...like this."
Su Wuli followed her gaze.
Suddenly, Yu Chen picked up the rabbit again.
The rabbit was kicking in his hand. He glanced down at it, then looked up to meet her gaze.
His gaze was indifferent.
She turned back to look at Lin Liwen and whispered, "Yes, it's always like this."
"Okay." Lin Liwen's voice carried a weary tone, as if she had given up trying. "I understand."
"You really have good taste." She leaned back on the sofa. "No wonder she didn't come to me crying later."
Lin Liwen leaned back on the sofa, looking at Su Wuli, and couldn't help but add, "She really has good taste."
