Demons Beside You

“You’ve seen him. Can you leave in peace now?”

“No, Mr. Steven told me to not leave him.”

“Whatever.” Ignoring Yu Wenhui, Chen Zhao removed his jacket.

“What are you doing?” Yu Wenhui backed away anxiously.

“It’s my house. I can do whatever I want.” Chen Zhao rolled his eyes and walked to the courtyard, after which he jumped into the lake.

Yu Wenhui just realized that it was a false alarm.

“Mr. Steven… Mr. Steven, wake up.”

Unfortunately, Steven was really in deep sleep.

Yu Wenhui could only wait nervously. Luckily, Chen Zhao had no intention to do anything to her, for which she heaved a sigh of relief.

Screech!

Suddenly, Yu Wenhui heard a loud noise from outside. Turning her head, she saw a sports car enter the villa and then the garage.

When Fali came up through the elevator, she had already noticed the car in the garage.

She knew that there should be a guest in the house, but she was still stunned when she saw Yu Wenhui.

Yu Wenhui panicked slightly. “Hi.”

“Hello, you are?”

“I’m Mr. Steven’s assistant. I think Mr. Steven’s drunk. I’m waiting for him,” Yu Wenhui answered.

Yu Wenhui observed the lady before her. Her skin was wheat-colored, and she was tall and sexy. Even from a woman’s perspective, Yu Wenhui had to admit that the lady before her had the qualities of a female lead.

“Oh, where’s Chen?” Fali asked.

“I saw him jump into the lake just now. He’s probably been there since then,” Yu Wenhui said.

Fali walked to the forecourt and saw Chen Zhao in the distance.

“Chen, you should come back now.”

Yu Wenhui stared at Fali. Just then, she saw the big bear earlier enter the house.

Yu Wenhui’s body tightened, but Fali did not seem disturbed at all. She took a pack of dog food and placed it before Princess.

“Eat this first. Your master is swimming. I’ll ask him to prepare dinner for you later.”

Yu Wenhui watched as Fali bustled about. Soon, several other pets came into the house. Whether they were huge, tiny, fierce, cute or frightening, Fali could handle them with ease.

Just then, Yu Wenhui noticed Chen Zhao climb up from the lake. Fali walked out with a towel and dried Chen Zhao’s body.

“Ms. Yu, are you staying for dinner?”

Yu Wenhui was indeed hungry, but she felt rather embarrassed.

“You can stay for dinner,” Fali invited. “By the way, when will Mr. Steven wake up?”

“Maybe tomorrow early morning.”

“Huh? Is he going to sleep for that long?”

“So would you like to stay here overnight?” Chen Zhao asked.

“Err…”

“You can also come here again tomorrow. Steven and I are friends. I’m not going to eat him alive.”

Yu Wenhui was not reassured. After all, in her opinion, Chen Zhao was an atrocious gangster.

In addition, Steven was a billionaire. She did not know if Chen Zhao would do anything bad to Steven.

Therefore, even during dinner, Yu Wenhui seemed to be extremely careful.

After the meal, Chen Zhao and Fali played in the swimming pool.

Annoyed, Yu Wenhui sat down on the sofa opposite Steven and played her phone alone.

When Chen Zhao and Fali were ready to sleep, Yu Wenhui was still watching Steven.

In the end, Chen Zhao had no choice but to hypnotize Yu Wenhui and carry her to one of the guest rooms.

…

“Where am I?” Steven opened his eyes and realized that he was in an unfamiliar place.

Just then, the lights at the corners of the room switched on and Steven heard an electronic voice, “Hello, Mr. Steven, you’ve been sleeping for twelve hours. Would you like to have some beverage?”

Steven rubbed his forehead and remembered being in Chen Zhao’s house. “I need to take a shower.”

Then, the guide lights also lit up. Steven followed the lights to the bathroom.

After the shower, Steven felt very much refreshed. There had somehow been too much dirt on his body.

Puff… Steven stood before the mirror and his expression froze.

The person in the mirror…

“Who is this?”

“It’s you.”

“Ah!” Steven was astonished. He realized that Chen Zhao was standing at the door. “Why are you here?”

“You didn’t close the door. You know, if Fali came down instead and saw something, I would kill you.”

“Okay… I’ll be more careful next time,” Steven said, feeling awkward.

“There won’t be a next time. I won’t let you stay here overnight again.”

“Chen, what happened to me? Why is my face…”

“Younger? You’ve become younger for about thirty years, which means you’re about sixty years old now,” Chen Zhao said.

“What? I don’t understand…”

“To put it simply, your disease has been cured, but because of it, you’ve become older for about ten years, which means you were about ninety years old. Although you wouldn’t die immediately, you would, soon. So I used a special method and made you younger by thirty years.”

“You sure? You’re not kidding with me?”

“Let’s not make this long-winded. I need to go back to sleep. Also, you’ll be sleeping on the sofa for tonight.”

“Wait, you have an empty room, right?”

“It’s a punishment for you. Why didn’t you inform me immediately when you felt sick? You didn’t trust me. I’m very angry.”

Steven really regretted his decision. If he had visited Chen Zhao earlier, he would not have gone through all this.

Now, he was very grateful toward Chen Zhao, but he was not going to ask what exactly Chen Zhao had done.

Steven felt rather guilty. After all, he did not believe Chen Zhao until this very moment.

“Chen, I’m sorry.”

“Fine, apology accepted.”

“Then can I sleep in a guest room tonight?”

“Nope. The punishment is inevitable.”

“Then drink with me. If I can’t sleep, you ain’t going to sleep either.”

“No way.”

“Oh, where’s the Chinese girl that came here with me?”

“She waited for you for the whole night. Now she’s in the guest room.”

“Why can she sleep in the guest room but not me?”

“She doesn’t need a punishment.”

“By the way, remember to put some makeup before going out tomorrow, in case someone notices the difference.”

“Got it… Had I come to you earlier, would I have become even younger?”

“Yup.”

When Steven heard this, he could feel his heart shatter.

An old person’s biggest wish was probably to regain youth. Steven realized that he had missed the opportunity.

“Chen, can you do it again? I’ll pay any price for it.”

“There’s only one chance for everyone. I can’t change that. You should be happy, since Rasfa only gained twenty years.”

“What? You’ve already done it for Rasfa?”

“If I didn’t, he would die this year.”

“That old asshole. He didn’t even tell me about it!”
