I Hate You, Devil! Chapter 87 Numbers?

Chapter 87 Numbers?

"Okay, Guan Ye, go approach them." Gu Wei ordered, rendering Guan Ye speechless once again.
"Hey, why me? This is your problem, not mine, so you should go! Didn't you claim you're the bravest here? The real MVP in all of the boss' men?" He immediately retorted, but his words didn't flatter Gu Wei at all.
"Tch, even though they are our ally, you know just how unapproachable those two are. And they absolutely give off the same vibe as that 'legendary knight'. How could you even expect me to ask them for help, much more convince them? They listen to no one but the boss!" Gu Wei whined and then their shoulders both dropped in hopelessness. Why did they even think that those two were the ultimate saviors they were looking for? "Sigh… it looks like I need to think of something else. That's right. There's nothing to worry, I am Gu Wei the great historian, I will surely, definitely find a way."
"T-that's the spirit, I'm sure you will come up with something that will solve this. You're Gu Wei, after all."
"Hah! Of course. No one, even myself could underestimate the power of a great historian!"
Just like that, the optimistic Gu Wei returned to his usual self. He was full of life again that no one would believe that he was just begging for help a moment ago. Guan Ye couldn't even help but somehow be amazed at his almost ridiculous self-esteem.
The trip back home was fast and silent. Luo Xiaolei could sense the tense and serious vibe coming from the guards so she didn't speak during the entire trip. Luckily, her stomach behaved well and it didn't growl again.
A while later, they finally reached Scarlet Hill. Yu Chen made Luo Xiaolei rest her head on his shoulder the entire time so she was already a bit sleepy when the car finally stopped.
"We're here. Are you okay? Can you walk?" Yu Chen asked and Luo Xiaolei quickly nodded.
"Yes, I'm fine. Don't worry." She replied and by the time they both stepped outside the car and saw the black toned house lit so brightly inside, Luo Xiaolei sighed in relief. "Ahh, we're finally home." She uttered, absent-mindedly. She didn't even notice the faint smile that carved on Yu Chen's face the instant he heard her call his house 'home'.
"Okay, you need to eat now so let's get inside." Yu Chen said and he was about to lead her inside when he saw her looking at someone.
"This is my first time seeing them. Are they one of your new body guards?" she asked and Yu Chen was quiet for a moment as he looked at the two she was pertaining about before he answered her.
"No. They were already with me since I was young." He answered and Luo Xiaolei was surprised. She wasn't sure but why did his voice suddenly sound a bit sad? Just her imagination?
"Really?" she could only utter before she returned her gaze towards the two pale beautiful men.
"Mm. Juu, Kyuu, come over." Yu Chen called them and they approached without delay.
"Hi, I'm Luo Xiaolei." Luo Xiolei immediately introduced herself and one of them returned a warm smile.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Luo. I'm Yuzuhara Juu and this is Kazunari Kyuu." The one with a messy bronze-colored hair said while the other one with a straight, deep black hair called Kyuu simply sligh at her slightly.
"So you guys are Japanese?"
"Yes, miss."
"Oh, I see." Luo Xiaolei didn't know why but the instant she saw them, just like what she felt about Yu Chen, the first thing she asked herself was 'did I met them somewhere before?' even though she was absolutely sure she never even seen them at all. And why did their names sound somewhat unusual and at the same time, interesting? Kyuu in Japanese is nine and Juu is ten. Were their parents so fond of numbers they named their children with numbers? Luo Xiaolei was a bit intrigued. "But you two look halfblooded. I'm guessing your mother is German?"
Luo Xiaolei was asking with interest but she noticed them glancing at Yu Chen as if they were asking for permission on whether they should answer or not.
"Yes, they're half Japanese." Yu Chen was the one who replied. "You can speak with them next time. You must go eat first."
Just as those words left Yu Chen's mouth, her stomach growled and she could only force a laugh.
"Haha, you're right, I need to eat first." She then said goodnight to the guards, including Juu and Kyuu, before they both entered the house.
Gu Wei who'd been listening to them was surprised that Yu Chen actually told Luo Xiaolei to speak with them next time. Well, within Yu Chen's pool of loyal and topnotch body guards, there were actually two individuals that stood out among the rest but at the same time, too lowkey to even be noticed. Before Gu Wei and Guan Ye even became Yu Chen's body guards, Juu and Kyuu were already with him. Gu Jinyang even told them that they were Yu Chen's body guards since he was still a child. They were so damn mysterious and it was funny but all these years, all they knew about them were their names.
Yu Chen personally told them that any information about those two was confidential and it was actually taboo to even talk about them which was why most of Yu Chen's body guards barely knew nothing about their existence. Of course, Gu Wei being Gu Wei tried to observe them and tried to be close to them to at least find out something about them, but he was dismayed to the core because they were worse than their poker faced boss. They rarely talked at all, no, he never even once heard Kyuu speak at all that he thought he might be mute. They were so indifferent. It was as if they have their very own world, and that world of theirs only revolves around Yu Chen.
…
Inside the house…
After finishing her dinner, Luo Xiaolei was about to climb up the stairs when she saw Yu Chen entered from the entrance door. It looked like he went out while she was eating.
He then walked straight towards her, as though there was something he wanted but when Lou Xiaolei yawned, he immediately led her upstairs. He knew that she needed rest since it was already midnight.
However, the moment they both stepped inside their room, they stood there in surprise, speechless.
Luo Xiaolei was expecting that the two little buns were already fast asleep but… their bed was empty?
Actually, it wasn't just empty, there were also words that were written in the headboard saying…
'Mommy and daddy's bed'.
