Scared Every Night, Becoming The Target Of A Creepy Psycho - Chapter 23

Chapter 23 – A Little “Crowded”

When the senior finally let go of him, Chen Sheng felt like he’d almost been kissed to death.

He gulped down fresh air, as if trying to breathe in all the oxygen he’d ever need in this lifetime.

This was his first time in a relationship—he simply couldn’t handle such a fierce onslaught.

After a few minutes of panting, Chen Sheng gradually calmed down.

He looked at the senior standing in front of him—still shirtless—and quickly turned his face away.

“Gu… Gu, maybe you should put on some clothes first. Let’s clean the room quickly.”

The senior glanced around the room and said, “Sheng Sheng, we still have to shower after cleaning. If I put on clean clothes now, they’ll just get dirty again. What a hassle. How about you just take yours off too, like me?”

Chen Sheng shook his head furiously—without even a second of hesitation. No way was he going to go shirtless like the senior.

“I… I’m fine. Let’s just start cleaning.”

He awkwardly moved around, fumbling with his limbs as he tidied up the room.

Behind him, Gu Zhen licked his lips with lingering excitement as he watched.

What a shame…Still, if he scared him off now, that would be counterproductive.

They cleaned together until dawn, and the room finally looked presentable. But everything that had been damaged was beyond repair and had to be thrown out. The windows also needed to be reinstalled.

Chen Sheng was drenched in sweat. He wiped his forehead with the back of his hand.

As he prepared to drag out the pile of ruined junk, the senior said,
“Sheng Sheng, don’t worry about that. I’ve already arranged for someone to come clean it up. Let’s go shower first.”

Sweat clung uncomfortably to his clothes, especially as it ran down from his forehead and into his mouth while he spoke—salty and bitter.

Chen Sheng really did want to shower quickly.
But then he glanced at the senior—also glistening with sweat, shirtless.

Especially as those droplets trickled down the senior’s abs… sliding lower…

One glance, and Chen Sheng felt a fresh wave of heat rising inside him.
His mouth even started to feel dry.

He subconsciously swallowed and said, “Gu… why don’t you shower first? I’ll go after you.”

He didn’t look directly at the senior, instead fidgeting with clothes to look busy.

What he didn’t realize was that the moment he spoke, the senior had already walked over—and firmly pulled him in.

“Sheng Sheng, let’s shower together. We’re done cleaning, and you’re sweaty too. If we bathe now, we can rest sooner.”

“I…” Chen Sheng’s voice trailed off as he glanced sideways and caught sight of the senior’s waist and the defined muscle lines.

He felt himself sweating even more.

“Don’t ‘I’ me, Sheng Sheng. Are you shy? I’ve already seen every inch of you. I even clearly remember that sexy little mole on your lower back.”

Chen Sheng’s mind exploded—like his brain had gone up in smoke.

Before he could react, he was already dragged into the bathroom by the senior.

As soon as the senior let go, Chen Sheng quickly shrank into a corner.

His heart pounded so violently it felt like it might jump out of his throat. He stared at the floor tiles.

Then he heard the sound of clothing being taken off, along with the senior calling his name.

“Sheng Sheng, come on, take off your clothes. Don’t just stand there. Or are you waiting for me to do it for you?”

Startled, Chen Sheng looked up—Only to see the senior completely naked, standing right in front of him with a playful smile.

Chen Sheng was caught completely off guard.

The visual shock hit him like a truck. His mind went blank, and his nose tingled—He felt something dripping out.

He touched his face in confusion, then looked down—Bl00d.

Bl00d?!

He was having a nosebleed?!

Dizzy and dazed, Chen Sheng lowered his head as the bl00d dripped, plop, plop, onto the floor.

Then, through his blurry peripheral vision, he saw the senior rush forward anxiously, grabbing some tissues to wipe the bl00d from his face.

“Sheng Sheng, why are you having a nosebleed? Are you feeling unwell?”

Chen Sheng didn’t dare speak.

From this angle, everything was even more visible…

And more bl00d gushed out of his nose.

He felt lightheaded and dizzy.

If he’d known this would happen, he would’ve refused to shower with the senior—no matter how much pulling or dragging was involved.

After what felt like forever—The nosebleed finally stopped.

Chen Sheng, having recovered a bit, still needed to bathe.

But the senior remained naked right beside him. Seeing that he was okay, he said:

“Sheng Sheng, you’re not feeling well. Let me bathe you.”

Chen Sheng: ……

“N-No need. It was just a nosebleed. I can still shower by myself.”

“Alright then.” The senior’s tone sounded a bit disappointed.

Chen Sheng quickly turned on the shower, and the senior pressed in close.

The bathroom was big, but not big enough.

Chen Sheng was practically squished by the senior and didn’t dare look around.

He showered quickly, but when he reached for his clothes—he realized they were soaked.

Picking up the drenched clothing, he looked puzzled.

Given where they had been placed, there was no reason they should be this wet.

But right now, he had no choice but to go out and get clean clothes.

Just as he wrapped a towel around himself and prepared to leave, he heard the senior say,

“Sheng Sheng, I forgot to tell you—when that thing escaped, it took all your clothes from your suitcase.”

Chen Sheng’s eyes widened in disbelief.

This wasn’t the first time.

The first time, it had taken his clothes. The second time, the clothes weren’t even his—just something that thing had prepared for him. So whatever. Now it had taken all his stuff again?

Chen Sheng was confused—why would that thing take his clothes again?

Then the senior explained: “Because it used to have those kinds of thoughts about you, so it deliberately gave you clothes marked with its scent. But now it only feels hatred and killing intent. Naturally, it took back all the clothes it had prepared for you. Also— he added with a smirk, it was furious when it saw you, wearing the clothes it gave you, in bed with me…”

Chen Sheng followed most of that explanation—So that thing gave him clothes when it liked him, and took them back once it hated him.

Typical irrational non-human logic.

But hearing the last part of the explanation made him burn with embarrassment.

He really had been wearing those clothes back then…

Why did this feel like something from a drama? Like, “She was wearing another man’s shirt…”

Though in his case, he didn’t exactly steal them. He wore them fair and square…

Chen Sheng’s face flushed again from the senior’s words.

Now he didn’t have any clothes to wear. And even if he wanted to buy some, he still needed to wear something in the meantime.

He glanced at the senior, who was already dressed and wrapped in a towel.

Just as he was about to speak, the senior had already grabbed his own clothes and handed them over.

“Sheng Sheng, wear mine for now. Actually, you not wearing anything looks even better. But that’s a view only I get to see.” Chen Sheng looked at the clothes the senior offered him, and then at the senior himself—Ever since they got together, the senior felt like a completely different person.

Even the way he spoke… was… utterly shameless.
