288 Servant Of s*tan

In her free time, she had developed an obscure habit of watching psychopathic gory films and horror movies about demonic possessions.

No, she wasn't the gothic type that was resilient in her views of materialism that ghosts or demons didn't sway her. In fact, they freaked the hell out of her but she liked the thoughts of watching horror with all the lights off, alone at home. It was scary but it was thrilling and intriguing.

Later when movies ended she was scared sh*tless of even her own shadow and going to the washroom was a fright. That's where all the most craziest slithery, two-faced, horned, red-skinned, pointed tailed demon happened to be!

The popcorns, ice cream, and snacks laid on the table untouched as she was hugging the life out of the cushion. All the lights were closed in the background, the LED being the only source of luminosity.

She was wearing a robe over her underwear with long socks. Her hairs were tucked in rollers. Her face was coated with an impurity reduction mask that she had made at home by grinding together avocado, honey, milk, oats flour, and gram flour.* She could compete with Medusa to a point where her snakes would straighten out of fright at Lu Xinyi's sight.

Over the years if she hadn't been any grateful to her step-mother for anything, she sure would be grateful that she was big on non-processed, harvested home remedies. And they worked like magic on skin!

Back on the screen, the girl was alone at her home on a weekend night watching a movie when her door was knocked on and her crush from school showed up...

The movie played was a background sound, Lu Xinyi wasn't able to focus on what was being said as all her mind was consumed about was the little pep talk Su Qing and Yin Lin gave her and the incident with He Zheng was another skeptical incident to add to today's list of peculiarity.

But although there was nothing weird, she felt like she was reading too much into it and there was really nothing about it. He Zheng probably was just joking.

But… she didn't really know if she ever wanted to be a part of Su Qing's and Yin Lin's company. It was all her life of teaching and morals against their norms.

In her heart, she wanted to be daring and do the deeds that proved otherwise but she was a coward. She wanted to be like them if that will get her him in her life.

She was being selfish but it was all too confusing. She didn't know what was good or better for her but they were too unfamiliar and alien to her!

No! She can't really go to Yu Youhan's office to seduce him! It wouldn't only be immoral but what if he didn't reciprocate her feelings and she is embarrassed?! Or worse he throws her out of his building?!

The scream from the TV jolted her out of her seat screaming louder than the girl on TV, the man had produced a dagger and slit her throat. As her breathing calmed, she flipped through the channels again having steeled her resolve finally when her bell rang as it rang in the film...

Instinctively her eyes fell on her timepiece and she gulped.

11:53 

It was midnight and she didn't know anybody who visited her at this hour of the night, in fact, nobody visited her at all! She was creeped out and her heart was beating at a pace that wasn't normally possible.

It could be anyone or anything at this ungodly hour! 

Waddling on her feet she reached the baseball bat she had kept hidden under her sofa for circumstances as such. She hesitated but then walked to the door's intercom.

"Wh… Who is it?" Her voice was shaking as her heart was thundering.

The intercom screen which was void of any being projected Yu Youhan at that moment. He looked tired and not quite like him. He looked more manly and mature.

His stubble had grown, when she had last seen him, he was clean-shaven. He looked like he could use a little rest or comfort in life.

"Lu Xinyi, it's me. Open up." She was about to open the door when her extended hand froze.

No! She would not fall for this! She had seen enough movies and read enough novels to know he could be a demon posing to be Yu Youhan so he could suck her soul Or… it could be a serial killer who has made a prosthetic face mask to look like him so she would be fooled to let this condemned soul in her house so he could have body-shots on her dead body!

Her face set in a determined scowl and her eyes hardened with resolve despite the fear thudding loud in her chest. 

No way was she a fool! Yu Youhan always and by always she means ALWAYS shave and NEVER AND EVER have looked like he just got out of the sever but only the real Yu Youhan would know that! At once she was sure that he wasn't Yu Youhan at all!

"You devil! I will never allow you in my humble adobe!" She cried out as her grip on her baseball bat tightened.

Yu Youhan frowned his brows in confusion before shaking his head at her madwoman behavior, "Lu Xinyi, are you good in there? Let me in I want to talk."

Lu Xinyi scoffed at the entity behind her doors. He should have never shown his bogus appearance, if you wanted to draw out a prey you could use props like human curiosity!

If he hadn't shown his face and just knocked over and over like Anabella she would have 100 % opened the door out of curiosity! Now there was no chance in hell was she allowing this abomination in her house!

"No! You can't come, you servant of satan!"

He froze before blinking. What the hell happened to her? Did she hurt her head pretty bad somewhere? He cautiously looked at the intercom and grudgingly asked, "Why?"

She opened and closed her mouth before she spat, "I have cooties!" She scrunched her eyes and groaned. That was too middle school-sih! She needed to try something mature…

"I… I mean, I have a very infectious disease and I may pass it on to you. I am just keeping my countrymen safe!"

Yu Youhan contemplated whether this was her way of making him feel sorry for taking her for granted or she has really become a crazy woman over the time he was not present. His main reason for visiting her was to see if she was safe and know what happened when she was in the lift as some moron security guard had dropped coffee on the tampered footages and possibly try to reconcile.

But... now it looked like she needed his assistance in another department too.

He pursed his lips and looked away before sighing in resignation and looking back at the intercom camera, "I will keep my distance. I just want to talk to you."
