The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 189 Confession

The next morning, when Ye Xi woke up, the first thing she saw was Liu He's face that was too close to her.

There was no flaw on her fair face, her eyelashes were long, her nose was delicate, her mouth was golden, and her black hair flowed down her temples, giving her a slightly cool and soft feeling.

Her brows were very peaceful, her breathing was even, and she looked like she had slept very soundly last night.

Ye Xi looked at her. After knowing her name and identity, she looked at her more carefully this time than before. She discovered more differences between Liu He and Liu Tao.

Where did she go last night? When did she come back?

The sound of soldiers training could be heard faintly outside. Ye Xi came back to her senses and lowered her eyes to see Liu He's arm around her waist. After thinking for a few seconds, she grabbed her wrist and then stepped over Liu He to get up.

After all, Liu He went to bed late last night. Although his biological clock was normal, he still woke up half an hour late.

Her hands woke up earlier than she did, groping for the person she had held in her arms last night. When she touched the slightly cool quilt, she woke up completely, and sighed while keeping her back to Ye Xi.

Ye Xi could tell that it was regret.

She felt inexplicably uncomfortable and coughed lightly as a reminder.

Sure enough, Liu He turned around the next second and saw Ye Xi sitting opposite her, looking at her leisurely with his arms folded.

Liu He's eyes lit up in an instant. As she stood up, she smoothed her hair behind her head. The black hair flowed in front of her like silk, adding a touch of charm to her gentleness.

Ye Xi shifted his gaze uncomfortably to Liu He's right side, staring at her fingers.

"Xi'er~Good morning." Liu He called softly in a very good mood. His voice was lazy and lingering, which made Ye Xi's ears turn slightly red.

It's really strange. I just slept with her in her clothes for one night, but why did I feel so uncomfortable?

Ye Xi turned his gaze back to her face: "Good morning, Liu He."

Liu He's stretching movement froze, and the sexy curve was completely stuck halfway.

Ye Xi felt inexplicably comfortable in her heart. A playful smile appeared on her lips as she quietly admired Liu He's shocked expression.

Well, now she was probably thinking quickly about why she knew her name.

Well, now she should be thinking about... whether she knows anything else besides the name.

Well... now, he's probably thinking about how to get away with it, or testing how much I know.

Ye Xi was making all kinds of speculations in his mind, but the expression on his face did not change at all. He still had that look of "I just want to see how you make it up."

Liu He was indeed thinking quickly about how his identity was exposed. Ye Xi had no idea about it yesterday, so why did she suddenly seem to know everything today?

Who told her?

Or did she find out?

Then will she chase me away?

The silent atmosphere became more and more torturous. Liu He was forced to stop stretching and slowly retracted his arms to his sides.

"...What Liuhe?"

"Humph."

Ye Xi smiled even more - she felt very proud because she had guessed it right, and she continued to guess that the next words she blurted out would definitely make this person even more panicked.

Well, just thinking about it makes me feel...refreshing!

"I knew you were going to say that. Did you think I wouldn't discover your identity until you returned to Nanman?"

Sure enough, Liu He's surprise became even more obvious, and he even subconsciously looked at the clothes that were being put together and contained the letter from home.

"Xi'er...I, I..."

Ye Xi didn't say anything, just watched her quietly as she prepared to weave the story.

Liu He finally gave up struggling because Ye Xi had already explained everything in such detail that she must have known everything. Continuing to deny and pretend to be stupid might ruin Xier's good impression of her.

"You already know everything. I am indeed Liu He."

The curve of Ye Xi's lips narrowed. In fact, she couldn't tell how she felt when she heard Liu He admit his identity.

But one thing cannot be ignored - she felt a little happy in her heart because she was not her sister-in-law, but Liu He.

The Liu He who could fight against him on the battlefield, the Liu He who could travel thousands of miles to see him, the Liu He who repelled Ye Lang with a spear on a rainy night.

And Liu He, who ate the fish she cooked, which was very unpalatable, but regarded it as a treasure.

Liu He's mood was far from as relaxed as hers. She pinched the quilt nervously: "Will you...will you chase me away?"

Ye Xi was stunned for a moment, then thought of the letter from home and decided to say everything clearly.

"What are you talking about me driving you away? Aren't you already planning to go back to Nanman?"

Liu He's first reaction was to explain, and he didn't even have time to think about when Ye Xi read his letter.

She came to Ye Xi eagerly, and even ignored Ye Xi's warning look and insisted on sitting next to her.

"I decided last night that I will not go back. I will stay with you through this difficult time."

Ye Xi was a little surprised. She couldn't ignore the joy rising in her heart, but she still kept a straight face and showed a slight displeasure as she continued to question.

"Then why didn't you show up last night?"

Liu He became even more anxious, and this reminded him of the crucial incident last night.

"I was waiting for you last night, but I saw Ye Lang climbing over the wall, so I followed him out of the house and didn't come back until dawn."

Her entire upper body leaned against Ye Xi, who was very flustered. Fortunately, she was talking about serious matters, so she didn't force Ye Xi to jump off the bench.

"Who did he go out to see?"

Liu He looked outside the door warily and lowered his voice, "I don't recognize the person he went to see, but I remember the place he went to was the sealed-off Grand Tutor's Mansion."

Taishi Mansion?

Hadn't Shan Juan searched the mountain and found nothing? Why did Ye Lang go there so late at night?

Liu He: "He climbed up the beam, took something, and then came back down. He probably realized someone was following him, so he deliberately circled around a few times before coming back, which delayed him for half the night."

Ye Xi became more and more confused. She did not dare to delay and wrote down this matter, preparing to tell him when she and Lin Shanjuan went to Songyun Mountain together at noon.

What was kept in the Grand Tutor's Mansion that would make Ye Lang sneak out in the middle of the night to get it?

Liu He did not interrupt her thoughts. Until Ye Xi came to her senses, she still sat next to Ye Xi gently, waiting for her to take care of her.

The corners of Ye Xi's lips moved slightly: "You...you just said that you won't go back to Nanman? Why?"

Liu He turned to her, the affection in his eyes running towards Ye Xi involuntarily: "I didn't want to leave in the first place, and when I saw you waiting for me last night, I didn't want to leave even more."

She ignored Ye Xi's stunned expression and continued, "If I stay here, at least I can still help you."

Ye Xi felt a moment of tenderness at her thoughtfulness. She looked at the clothes hanging on the rack of Liu He and said, "I'm sorry. I read your letter last night."
