Chapter 805 The Cage of Innocence 45
He chuckled and raised his hand. The red and black energy twirled in the air, wrapping around your waist and pulling you into his arms. "I was just trying to fall asleep. This is a bedtime story I carefully selected for you years ago. You didn't like reading, so I had to read it myself."
You pouted dismissively: "What kind of bedtime reading is this? It's clearly a collection of nightmare material. I don't want to read this kind of book! Don't you know what kind of books teenage girls should read!"
He feigned ignorance and shook his head: "I don't know..."
"It could be 'The Gangster Boss Who Fell in Love with Me,' 'The Overbearing District Chief's Fierce Love, the Cat Hunter's Fierce Escape,' or even 'The Sweet Daily Life of a Witch and a Little Dragon,'" you said, baring your teeth and punching him in the chest. "It definitely won't be 'How to Dispose of Your Enemy's Corpse,' 'Murder on the Western Express,' or 'The Silence of the Goat'... Who reads those before bed?!"
“I read these before I go to bed.”
"Yes, yes, yes! You're amazing! I can't argue with you, so I'll just go to sleep, okay?" As you said this, you pushed Qin Che's chest, trying to get off him.
Qin Che didn't let you have your way. He grabbed your waist, preventing you from getting up: "Hmm? Going to sleep so soon? Aren't you going to study all that stuff you brought back?"
"Oh right, right! You made me so angry I almost forgot I had important things to do..." You raised your hand and slapped the back of his hand, your fingertips applying a little pressure. "Then why don't you let go? How am I supposed to see if I don't get up..."
"I can watch while holding you." Qin Che's voice was tinged with amusement, with a slight upward inflection at the end.
"Ew~~~ Tsk tsk tsk, Qin Che, is it really necessary to be so clingy~~~~" You complained, but you leaned your waist closer to his chest, your shoulder brushing against his loose shirt.
When Qin Che raised an eyebrow, the corners of his eyes slanted slightly upwards, and his crimson eyes seemed to hold a glimmer of fire, so bright that it was impossible to look away: "Is it not allowed?"
"..." You shook your head violently, hurriedly reaching out to cover the man's alluring eyes, your fingertips brushing against his thick eyelashes, your palm tickling. "Don't look at me like that, I'm weak-willed and can't resist being teased..."
He chuckled and pulled your wrist away, his smiling eyes instantly meeting yours: "I didn't mean to do anything."
"But I want to..." You turned your face away, your eyes darting around as you scanned the dust on the ceiling, your voice barely audible.
"Huh? What did you say?" Qin Che asked knowingly, but his fingertips secretly tightened the hand around your waist.
"Nothing! You're hallucinating!" You hurriedly looked up to interrupt, pushed him away, and then pulled a stack of photos from your bag.
The biology lab featured a cold-glowing workbench, a petri dish with half a broken glass dome, instruments that were partially damaged, a computer with its screen still lit, a leather notebook covered in strange numbers, and so on...
You shoved all the photos you took inside the building into his palm.
"And this too." You shoved another roll of transparent tape at me. "Help me stick all of these on the wall, so we can properly examine the 'case'." You ordered without any hesitation.
"Are all detectives this domineering?" The duct tape twirled between Qin Che's fingers. "They seize other people's houses and don't even spare their hands."
