Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Good Thing

By then, Zhou Chao had already left the room.

Lu Hao trailed him all the way, wanting to see exactly what he was up to today.

Sure enough, after only a few steps, Zhou Chao stopped.

It was obvious that he had no intention of simply delivering the fish soup and going straight back, as he had claimed. Instead, he was lying in wait midway, ready to return at any moment.

That only confirmed Lu Hao’s suspicion: the fish soup must contain something like a drug.

Otherwise, with Zhou Chao’s character, there was no way he would suddenly do such a good deed.

At that moment, Lu Hao watched as Zhou Chao crouched down in the woods by the roadside.

He knew then that Zhou Chao was waiting for the drug to take effect before going back to make his move.

And if he had guessed correctly, Zhou Chao might still be carrying the key to that shabby little house.

So Lu Hao quickly turned back and headed toward Yun Xiaoyan’s room.

At the very least, now that he had stumbled upon this today, he could not let that bullying village chief Zhou Chao get his way.

Soon, Lu Hao returned to the front of Yun Xiaoyan’s room.

Through the side window, he only needed a glance to see that Yun Xiaoyan was indeed sitting by the table, drinking the fish soup.

“Damn it, I never thought she would really dare to drink it. A college girl from the city, and yet she has no sense of self-protection at all?”

Just then, a phone started ringing inside the room.

Yun Xiaoyan answered.

“Hello? Mom, what is it?”

“When are you coming back, exactly? You are being far too willful. Your father arranged a teaching position for you, and you do not go for your internship, but instead run off to some remote backwater like Peach Blossom Village.”

“Tell me, what on earth are you thinking?”

The slightly sharp voice of a middle-aged woman came through.

At once, Yun Xiaoyan said with clear displeasure, “It has always been you two controlling me. You want to control everything.”

“Why can’t you respect my own opinion? Respect my own choice?”

“I like the countryside now. I like the atmosphere here. I like this kind of peaceful life.”

The other end of the line fell silent, as if her mother had chosen to give in.

“All right, child. Just be careful when you are out there.”

“When you get tired of staying there, hurry back to school. We will not force you anymore.”

“Just remember, your background is different from other people’s. You cannot afford to have anything happen to you easily. That is all.”

Click.

The sound of the call ending came from the room.

Hearing that, Lu Hao immediately understood that Yun Xiaoyan must have had a falling-out with her family recently.

From the way her mother spoke, and from Yun Xiaoyan’s clothes and the things she used, it was clear that her family was far from ordinary, much better off than most.

She had not grown up in the countryside, otherwise she would not have had such a so-called “novel” feeling toward village life.

Children who grow up in the countryside long for the bustle of a big city, whereas someone like Yun Xiaoyan, with her unusual family background, might actually be more drawn to the feel of rural life.

However, Yun Xiaoyan probably did not realize one thing: sometimes the complexity of relationships in a village is no simpler than that inside a major city corporation.

Some things were not as beautiful as she imagined.

At that moment, Yun Xiaoyan really did feel exhausted. After all, she had spent the entire day traveling back and forth from the county town to Peach Blossom Village.

She was already utterly worn out.

Another reason was that the fish soup she had just drunk contained a special substance.

It was something akin to an anesthetic.

But Yun Xiaoyan clearly did not notice anything abnormal. She only felt that the soup was exceptionally delicious, yet after drinking it, she became terribly tired and sleepy.

She wanted nothing more than to collapse and sleep at once.

Sure enough, in just a short while, she could no longer keep her eyes open.

So she walked to the window, drew the curtains, then went to the door and shut it properly.

After that, she turned off the light and got into bed to sleep, not even having time to pull up her blanket.

Naturally, all of this fell into Lu Hao’s eyes.

Those long, slender, delicate legs, beautiful in their graceful lines, radiated an irresistible allure in the darkness.

“The situation doesn’t look good.”

Lu Hao’s gaze remained fixed on Yun Xiaoyan as she slept deeply inside the room.

“By normal standards, she shouldn’t be able to wake up tonight,” Lu Hao murmured.

“I’m not sure what the best move is now.”

For a moment, Lu Hao was at a loss.

Forget it. He would stay here and watch, to see whether Zhou Chao would come.

That was what Lu Hao decided.

So he stood still and restrained his presence.

The next second, a short and stocky figure appeared in the night.

He approached slowly, his steps hurried, as though there was some urgent matter to attend to.

Lu Hao watched him closely. In the moonlight, he could make things out clearly.

Zhou Chao’s face was full of lecherous anticipation, as if the next moment he would enter the room and brutally unleash every desire within him.

Right then, Zhou Chao had no idea that another person was standing beneath the wall.

Still less did he imagine that this person was Lu Hao, the one he had recently grown so wary of.

“My little beauty, I’m here. You must be looking forward to this too, right?”

“Heh heh. Who told you not to study properly in school and instead come running onto my turf to play village cadre?”

“Soon enough, you’ll obediently become my woman and serve me well in this village.”

Zhou Chao took the room key from his trousers. It was part of a plan he had been plotting for a long time.

He opened the door quietly and slipped inside.

His short, stocky body quickly reached the bed where Yun Xiaoyan was sleeping.

There he saw Yun Xiaoyan, dressed only in a nightdress, lying quietly on the bed like Sleeping Beauty at rest.

And she had no idea that he had come in at all.

His scheme had succeeded.

At that moment, he could hardly contain his excitement.

For a beauty like Yun Xiaoyan, from his youth to his old age, he had never seen many.

Such a top-tier beauty, he could give her ninety-nine points. He took off one point only because she was too foolish.

Excited, Zhou Chao began rubbing his hands together, the lust in his body nearly scorching him to cinders.

A wicked smile spread across his broad, fat, bloated face.

His fingers trembled as they moved closer to Yun Xiaoyan’s body.

Too perfect, too intoxicating, too delicious...

From here on out, I will become the ultimate tyrant among men, seize this lovely girl of only twenty-two completely for myself, and let her properly experience what paradise on earth feels like.

Just as his hand was about to touch Yun Xiaoyan’s body, a figure even taller and darker than him appeared behind him.
