1798 Old Liang Family Residence, Stench

In the blink of an eye, it was almost 8pm. Fang Yu didn’t forget that Zhou Chengfei was looking for him. After all, he was a junior – maybe Zhou Chengfei really did need him for something. Fang Yu had also said yes at noon. After saying a few words to Lu Ningwen, he went to look for Zhou Chengfei!

Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu’s relationship had improved by leaps and bounds in the past few days. Lu Ningwen was a little worried at first, but Fang Yu patted Lu Ningwen’s shoulder and said that he would be back right away. Besides, it wasn’t like they hadn’t spent the entire day with Zhou Chengfei, and he had been no different from usual; how could he not be human? It could only be said that Brother Du and Brother Qi had too wild imaginations.

After convincing Lu Ningwen, Fang Yu went to look for Zhou Chengfei.

Fang Yu’s room was some distance away. Zhou Chengfei’s room was at the top of the stairs, so it was very convenient to get to.

Fang Yu walked to Zhou Chengfei’s door and knocked a few times, but there was no movement. Fang Yu called out a few times, “Brother Chengfei.”

No one opened the door even after he shouted for the third time. He had to pee and planned to go to the washroom first before coming back. At that moment, the door opened. Strangely, Zhou Chengfei was dressed in a garish shirt and pants, and wore a hat tilted at an angle on his head.

This really didn’t match Zhou Chengfei’s usual style, and Fang Yu found it unbelievable. His first thought was: Was this person in front of him really Brother Chengfei, or was this Brother Chengfei’s actual style?

Fang Yu didn’t know Zhou Chengfei very well. Even as he thought it was strange, he still called out obediently without batting an eyelid, “Brother Chengfei!”

Zhou Chengfei was especially excited when he saw him. His expression was greedy and inexplicably sinister, as if he was eyeing prey. He immediately gave an insincere smile and said, “Fang Yu… you’re here? Come in and have a seat!”

As Zhou Chengfei spoke, he stared fixedly at Fang Yu. It wasn’t until Fang Yu entered the room and the door closed with a bang that Zhou Chengfei dialed down his stare. However, his eyes grew greedier and hotter, making Fang Yu jump in fright. “Brother Chengfei, you… why are you staring at me? Did you need me… for something?”

“Right, right, right… There is something, a lot of things!” Zhou Chengfei grinned. His handsome face somehow looked malevolent and out of place under the light, making Fang Yu’s right eyelid twitch.

Fang Yu subconsciously looked at the door and was about to speak, when he suddenly smelled an inexplicable stench in the room. However, the stench quickly dissipated at the open window, making him uncertain if the stench was in Zhou Chengfei’s room or if it came from outside.

Fang Yu looked around curiously; he didn’t notice how the color of ‘Zhou Chengfei’s’ pupils gradually turned yellow. Countless compound eyes squeezed together to stare at him in a hair-raising manner. Not only that, the things under ‘Zhou Chengfei’s’ skin squirmed excitedly at that moment. Countless bumps instantly appeared on Zhou Chengfei’s face, neck, and all over his body. Most of them weren’t obvious since they were under his clothes, but the ones on his face and neck were very obvious. They kept pushing at the skin, as if his flesh would burst open in the next second.

As the things under Zhou Chengfei’s skin squirmed agitatedly, his face twisted with pain and malevolence. His gaze on Fang Yu also became more vicious and sinister.

At that moment, Fang Yu suddenly said anxiously, “Brother Chengfei, I need to pee. Can I borrow your washroom first?”

Because he needed to pee, he didn’t take a closer look at Zhou Chengfei. Without waiting for him to agree, he turned around and immediately ran into the washroom.

As soon as he entered the washroom, Fang Yu subconsciously locked the door and hurriedly used the toilet. Just as he heaved a sigh of relief, there was a loud banging on the bathroom door. At first, Fang Yu thought that Zhou Chengfei was also in a hurry to use the washroom, and he hurriedly said in embarrassment, “Brother Chengfei, I’ll be quick. I’ll come out after I’m done!”

When he said that, the banging on the door suddenly stopped. After a few seconds, it started again. This time, the banging was even louder, making Fang Yu anxious.

Was Brother Chengfei in such a hurry to use the washroom?

Fang Yu was puzzled, but soon, the banging suddenly stopped again. Fang Yu didn’t think much of it. Afraid of delaying Brother Chengfei from using the washroom, he hurriedly zipped up and washed up, and planned to go out immediately.

Curious, Fang Yu picked up a skincare product and sniffed it. He smelled a familiar stench, just like the one he had smelled earlier in Brother Chengfei’s room.

He found it hard to believe that Zhou Chengfei’s sink was so dirty, and he was very curious about what these smelly yellow particles were.

Unexpectedly, Brother Chengfei hadn’t told Director Huang about the bathroom.

Otherwise, Director Huang would have arranged another room for him long ago.

Fang Yu planned to ask Brother Chengfei later if these yellow particles were the excrement of some insect. Wait, his own room better not have this insect excrement!

Fang Yu felt disgusted at the thought. He turned on the tap and hurriedly washed his hands, and got ready to go out. At that moment, his phone suddenly rang in his pocket. Fang Yu wiped his hands dry on his shirt before taking out his phone to answer the call. He heard Lu Ningwen say anxiously, “Fang Yu, are you done talking to Brother Chengfei? Director Huang is looking for you. Hurry and come over!”

When Fang Yu answered the call, he happened to look in the mirror. When his eyes fell on the mirror, his gaze suddenly froze and he sucked in a cold breath. In the mirror, he saw that the three walls behind him and the ceiling were densely packed with the yellow particles and insect eggs. Some of the eggs were already hatching, revealing pale yellow compound eyes.

Fang Yu’s scalp and heart turned cold and he got goosebumps. For a few seconds, his palms and back were covered in cold sweat. His mind was blank, and he didn’t know how to flee the scary bathroom. Seeing Zhou Chengfei at the door, his face was covered in cold sweat and his heart pounded as he shouted, “Brother Zhou, there’s… a lot of bugs in your washroom.”

Before Fang Yu could finish speaking, there was an unhappy voice at the door as Xiao Ying interrupted him. “Fang Yu, why are you here?”
