Chapter 337 - Someone Is Following Me

Chapter 337 Someone Is Following Me

"He's so impressive! The girls in your class must like him very much." Liu Sijie asked with a smile.

Xia Yu snorted with laughter. "His loquaciousness even amazed the teacher. Which girl dared to like him? She would have been fed up by his words. You do not know that when the girls in our class were quarreling, and one might say 'I will let you be in a relationship with Yang Xu' because of her great anger."

"No way!" Liu Sijie laughed out loudly. He imagined how Yang Xu would react to such words when hearing this. How funny his face would have been!

As the two people were chatting, soon Liu Sijie drove the car to the fork. Xia Yu said, "Let me get off here. Aunt Ma asked me to buy something to bring back."

"OK!" Liu Sijie originally wanted to send Xia Yu back. He didn't have to now since Xia Yu said that she was getting off here. It was not far from home anyway.

Xia Yu went to the supermarket nearby to do the grocery shopping after Liu Sijie left. After walking for a little while, she always felt that someone was staring at her behind her back perhaps because she was too sensitive. She turned his head several times, but only to find no suspicious person. She laughed at herself and felt that she was too sensitive.

After she finished the grocery shopping and came out of the supermarket, she got into his community. Then she felt that something was wrong again. She had goosebumps on her back and quickened her pace involuntarily. Her nerves were stretched as well.

After taking a turn, Xia Yu turned around abruptly and saw a man who clearly stopped his pace in the distance. At this time, it was already dark. Due to the distance and the darkness, she couldn't see their facial expressions clearly. But his synchronous gesture of stopping just now immediately made her feel uneasy.

Who were these two people? Why did they follow her?

The questions popped up one after another in her mind, but Xia Yu couldn't find a clue at all. She instinctively wanted to escape, so she started to run. Meanwhile, she also heard the running sound behind her, and her heart sank. The two men started to chase her.

She was running for her life and didn't dare to look back. After running to the building where she lived, she finally felt a little relieved, but her tight nerves still didn't relax.

The key was taken out of her purse a while ago. Xia Yu's hands were trembling when she turned the key. She didn't feel safe until the door was completely closed after she opened the door and entered the room.

Her legs were a bit soft. She almost stumbled to the floor at the moment when she entered the door. She sat on the sofa, and it took a long time for her to come back to herself.

Just as she was about to put the grocery in the kitchen, there was a sound outside the door. Xia Yu was already tense and almost threw away the grocery in her hands as she was so scared that cold sweat came out of her forehead immediately.

Xia Yu ran to the kitchen very quickly, and the door was opened when she was just about to pick up the fruit knife on the shelf with her hand.

"Miss Xia, are you back?" The voice of Aunt Ma rang up behind her.

Xia Yu was a little stunned before removing her hand from the fruit knife's handle. She turned around and looked at Aunt Ma.

"Miss Xia, why are you so pale? Are you sick?" Ma Yu exclaimed before quickly walking toward Xia Yu. She touched Xia Yu's forehead with her hand and said that it was so cold.

"Just… Just now, someone was following me." Even now Xia Yu was shivering due to her nervousness while talking.

"Following you? Did you see his face clearly?" Aunt Ma thought of Li Wen and also became nervous immediately. Her frown was tightened.

"He was too far away, and it was dark, so I didn’t see him clearly." Xia Yu shook her head. Although she didn’t see the person’s countenance, she was certain she didn't know him as there was not a sense of familiarity at all.

"In the future, come back with Young Master Yan or Liu Sijie when you get off work. As soon as you enter the community, you will be safe. The management officer said they would have to call the residents of the community to verify an outsider's identity before he could enter." Aunt Ma patted Xia Yu's hand to calm her.

Xia Yu also thought that they were Li Wen's people. After listening to Aunt Ma's words, her heart gradually calmed down. But when she thought that Li Wen was like a fly, Xia Yu became annoyed in her mind. She rubbed her temples, and her mind was in a mess. The more she thought about it, the worse headache she would have.

"Call the police immediately if you realize that someone is following you tomorrow. Don't worry too much. Take a break. I will cook for you." Aunt Ma was trying to calm Xia Yu down.

Xia Yu nodded and leaned on the sofa. She felt that her body was flaked out and exhausted.

After Aunt Ma finished cooking, Xia Yu ate just a little. She then lost her appetite and lay in bed early in the night. However, she couldn’t fall asleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, the man’s figure would appear in her mind, and he was staring at her with a pair of cold eyes.

Xia Yu's sleep was like a fog or a haze. When she got up the next morning, she was very dizzy.

Aunt Ma touched her forehead, and her brows were immediately tightened. "So hot! You are probably running a fever. I will give you some pills to take."

Xia Yu touched her forehead, and it was very hot indeed. No wonder she had a bad headache.

After taking the medicine, she lay in the bed for a little while again. Aunt Ma was about to ask Shen Yan to let Xia Yu have a day off. She shook her head. Everyone was very busy, and how could she rest at home?

After having breakfast cooked by Aunt Ma, Xia Yu went out. On the way, she paid special attention to her surrounding environment. They were either people who were anxious to get to work or old people who were going to do the grocery shopping. She did not see the two men from last night.

After she went to work, Xia Yu put on a little makeup to make her look less frail.

When Xia Yu was about to input some information while sitting on her seat, Shen Yan pushed open the door. He glanced at her faintly, and then he frowned. "Are you sick?"

"Ah?"

Xia Yu opened her mouth and said "ah" stiffly. Undoubtedly, the makeup covered her dark circles and the pale face. She couldn't even tell that she was sick herself, and just now Cai Yanyan couldn't tell either. How could he tell with just one look?

"No, no!" Xia Yu concealed the truth. She almost blurted this lie out.

Shen Yan pursed his lips and reached over, trying to touch her forehead. Xia Yu had a guilty conscious and immediately threw her head back to avoid being touched by him. Shen Yan's facial expression immediately turned cold. He then took back his hand and turned to walk to his desk.

At the moment when he turned around, Xia Yu was regretful. Why did she hide it? She even dodged him just now, and her brain was probably burned by the fever.

He was her boyfriend now. Telling him to take care of her was the right move. Xia Yu now wanted to tell him the truth, but when her eyes touched his indifferent face, she retreated. What was the matter with her not telling him earlier but wanting to tell him now? Xia Yu gave up this thought. The more she explained, the more confused he would become.

Shen Yan was going to see a Franch client today. Xia Yu had one more duty of translation. She reviewed the information and made sufficient preparations yesterday, so she didn't make any mistake even if she was running a fever and had a bad condition today.

This time, the customer's main purpose was to inspect the company. After touring around the company, he immediately went to the production factory.

"Mr. Bastian said that he was very satisfied with our products." Xia Yu translated what the Franch client said just now to Shen Yan.

Shen Yan's eyebrows were picked up, revealing a confident and cheerful expression.

"Mr. Bastian, thank you for recognizing the products of our company." He did not let Xia Yu translate this sentence. Instead, he spoke it in Franch directly. Although his pronunciation was not completely correct, the other party surely could understand it.

When Shen Yan was speaking Franch, his deep and magnetic voice sounded particularly nice. Like a mellow spirit, one might be drunk by simply listening to his voice.

After the visit, Xia Yu looked at the watch. Somehow, it was already five o'clock. Afterwards, they drove to the hotel with the customer.

After having dinner and helping the customer settle down, Xia Yu was ready to leave. But the location of the hotel was rather remote, so Shen Yan thought about it and said, "What about staying here as well tonight?"

Staying here? Xia Yu turned around and didn't expect him to be so close to herself. When she turned around, her head almost slammed into his head.

Xia Yu instinctively leaned back and also took a step back. But she forgot that she was standing on the step, so when she missed a step, her whole body fell backward. She immediately grasped the cloth around Shen Yan's chest with both her hands. Shen Yan probably didn't expect Xia Yu to fall and even less that she would grab him. That cold face showed an expression of being stunned for a short time.

It took a second or two to fall down. When Shen Yan was able to react, the two people had already fallen to the ground.

Xia Yu regretted it so much. Why did she use her hands to grasp Shen Yan? If she hadn't grasped him, he would not have fallen down or pressed himself against her. Xia Yu felt that her breathing was not smooth, and the thing pressing down on her body was not a person, but a huge stone.

At this time, Xia Yu's features must be distorted and painful.

Her gaze met that of Shen Yan. The two were extremely close, and their lips could touch each other if they moved just a little closer. She could smell his body in her every breath.

Xia Yu slightly tilted her head and felt that her fever became worse. Her whole body began to get very hot, especially in the parts which were touched by Shen Yan.

Her body lightened up as Shen Yan stood up. Shen Yan then helped Xia Yu get up before reaching out and touching the back of her head. He asked, "Did it get hurt?"

"No, it did not get hurt. There is no impact on my head, but my hand and my back got hurt a little." Xia Yu pointed to her hand and her back. Fortunately, the ground was not covered with stones, or her back would have become the surface of the moon which was full of small pits.

"Let's get in. I will give you some medicine." He said while helping Xia Yu get back to the hotel.

"My feet are fine." Xia Yu smiled at him before moving to the side. Her heart was beating so fast as he held Xia Yu's waist.

"Why? You don't want me to hold you?" He asked very seriously while staring straight at Xia Yu.

"Of course not. It's just that my feet are fine, and I really don't need someone to support me." After all, the hotel was full of people, and Xia Yu felt really embarrassed. But when she saw that he frowned and was obviously unhappy, she was afraid that he was angry and quickly explained to him.

"Xia Yu, you haven't forgotten that you're my girlfriend, right?" Shen Yan was indeed angry. He held Xia Yu even more tightly with his hands. As the two people were faced with each other, their facial expression became very serious.

"I..." Xia Yu wanted to say that he misunderstood her. It was not that she rejected his physical contact, but she...

Was she supposed to tell him that her heart would beat faster and she would become greatly excited and incitant when he touched her?

But even Xia Yu herself felt too shy, so that kind of emotion could never be expressed to him.

"This is a hotel. Many people can see us. What a shame!" Seeing that Shen Yan was looking at himself, Xia Yu equivocated and explained.

"Do you see the couple over there? Are they embarrassed?" Shen Yan beckoned her to look at the other side of the hotel with his eyes. There happened to be a couple.
