Chapter 237 Turn a blind eye
There were a few sparse floor lamps on in the room, like poking holes in the darkness, barely illuminating the layout of the furniture and leaving a path forward.

Xie Chen paused and closed the door. The light and shadow behind him suddenly shrank to nothing and merged into the darkness again.

He walked around the furniture and went upstairs as usual, his eyes sweeping over the sofas and carpets on the first floor...Leon was not there.

But whether it is hidden in a cupboard, a bookcase, or a wardrobe, it doesn’t matter. Yes, it doesn’t matter at all.

He looked at his phone again and there was no message from Gu Baozhu.

The shock was due to Pei Ze's news.

[Pei Ze]: Ah Chen, help me find someone
【Pei Ze】: "Photos"

Xie Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, and his steps froze on the stairs. The long-standing doubts turned into a sharp explosion at this moment, making his ears heat up uncontrollably, and his heart seemed to collapse, surging with waves of sourness and heat.

The familiar and quiet figure appeared before my eyes without any warning, but it did not bring any surprise.

The luxurious swimming pool surrounded by greenery and ripples, the blue and white parasols, the blue Loshee sparkling cold drinks...all these familiar things highlight the location of this place, Jiang Mansion.

In the photo, Gu Baozhu was looking down at the tablet in her hand, with one leg stretched out leisurely and the other leg's knee raised and supported on the recliner. Her knee-length shorts were wrinkled due to her movements, and the loose sweatshirt on her upper body was also baggy, showing a bit of comfort.

Xie Chen slid two fingers across the photo, and the face in it enlarged, revealing a beautiful and clean face. The curly hair was as untidy as her own, stretched and elegant, crookedly squeezed in the gap between the recliner and the body, and flowed freely between the forehead and hairline like water waves.

I can't be mistaken again, is she still with Jiang Yan? Is she forced?

He turned around and wanted to go downstairs, feeling a genuine urgency and indignation.

But he restrained himself and did not move. He let out a long breath and sent out: [Then let’s go to Jiang Mansion. I have never seen it.]

She should not be in Jiang Mansion at this time, so Pei Ze is looking for someone to help her. Has he looked for Jiang Yan? Obviously Jiang Yan should be the first choice...

Pei Ze's message came quickly: [Stop teasing me. I won't look for you if I can find it.]

Xie Chen: [Who is this person? ]

Pei Ze: [I don’t know. His name seems to be something like Harry. I can’t find his name at all. It’s a common English name. The confidentiality measures of the Jiang Mansion are really fucking terrible. The commercial security system is controlled by your family. Can you help me find out if he is still in Jiangcheng?]

Xie Chen's eyes moved slightly. Didn't he look for Jiang Yan? Why? And why did he look for him... More and more doubts troubled him, but it made him calm down and walk upstairs steadily again.

Xie Chen: [Wouldn’t it be faster to find Jiang Yan?]

Pei Ze: [I am really fed up with his overbearing attitude, as if the whole world owes him something. Isn't it possible for you to do such a thing?]

Pei Ze on the other end of the phone was in a worse mood. Did he have to explain so much? It was just a matter of looking for someone. If it hadn't fallen on deaf ears, he would never have taken out Gu Baozhu's photo to look for someone.

His expression turned cold, buried in his massive, fluffy hair, like a bitter lollipop.

He used some tricks, but the results were minimal. This cunning thing appeared briefly like a siren and then suddenly disappeared, causing him to keep looking for someone to confirm this matter, and even went through a lot of twists and turns to get the video... When had he ever done such a stupid thing, digging a corner so obscurely and hard. If he found it, he must bully it back, and let the damn Harry look into his eyes and call him brother... Pei Ze felt better, and his eyes regained some liveliness, and he looked at Xie Chen's reply with some ease.

Xie Chen: [What? Did I offend you?]

Pei Ze: [Well, help me look for him. Don’t contact Jiang Yan, and don’t tell Leon. I know he’s hiding at your place. Oh, and don’t tell anyone.]

Xie Chen: [Huh? Why do you want to keep it a secret? It's rare to see you so anxious.]

Pei Ze: [Why are you in such a hurry? Can you help me? ]

Xie Chen: [Of course]

Xie Chen's eyes darkened, and he sneered at the "good brother" message from Pei Ze. He took a deep breath, turned on the light in the bedroom, put his coat on the table beside him, put his phone in one place, and walked into the bathroom as usual.

The sensor light lit up instantly. He stood in front of the mirror which also lit up. He threw down his shirt and looked up, suddenly seeing a face that seemed to be somewhat angry.

Maybe I am angry at my incompetence, or maybe I am disappointed at my own confusion...

Why can a person say one thing but do another with his body? Why can she completely ignore her own character and lie almost everywhere? Why did she play tricks on Jiang Yan, Cui Hu, and Pei Ze...

He didn't think about himself, but just looked at the person in the mirror quietly.

He never cared about superficial appearance, but now... he wanted to take a closer look, like a commodity waiting to be sold, strictly examining his own value and competitiveness.

The slightly long black hair fell on the shoulders, outlining the ink-black facial features. There was almost no trace of immaturity, only smooth lines that poured out, floating indifferently and distantly before the eyes... It was impossible to imagine what this face looked like when it was happy. That idiot Leon could pretend to be happy, so why couldn't he even think about it?

This is not right, what does he want?

His eyes became silent as he stared at the mirror that was slowly becoming damp. Perhaps he wanted to go back to that rainy night. The figure kissing should be himself. He wanted that person to be himself. It would be great if it was him.

The breath and temperature of the two people are immersed in one. Even if there are cold raindrops falling all around, the soul will turn into a mushy ball, filling up the touch of lips and tongues irrationally, turning that insignificant moisture into warm emotions.

"..."

He couldn't help but feel that breathing was a little labored. His cheeks in the mirror turned red, his eyelashes seemed to be covered with crystal water droplets, and his slightly long black hair fell under his eyes. He felt itchy but had no time to care. The subtle pain and endurance rushed to the end of his body with the blood, almost making him dizzy.

Just like flower petals dropped on the water, they absorb water and become stained with a darker color, revealing a gloomy yet intense decadent beauty.

A muffled sound suddenly occurred. Xie Chen waved his hand to wipe away the shimmering surface on the mirror. He bent down, took a deep breath, and turned on the shower switch.

Just follow the routine, we can't go on like this... He pushed his hair back and wiped his face heavily. The coldness in the air made him feel confused and unwilling for a moment, but he also woke up completely.

He was the one who guided this relationship to progress step by step. This state should have been what he expected, but it was precisely because of this relationship that he fell into a situation where he was ignored...
