Chapter 181 Even Professors Confess (27)

The woman's small bag was about to fall to the ground when the man swiftly retrieved it.

Chang Le was stunned, not yet realizing what had happened.

"You..."

Ji Ye pulled the two suitcases to a stop, freed her hands to hang the small bag securely around her neck, and rubbed the head of the figure in front of her, "Hold onto my sleeve, don't get lost."

Seeing the large and small bags on the man's back, Chang Le felt embarrassed and reached for the small bag, saying, "I'll carry it myself."

"Tsk." Ji Ye raised an eyebrow, rolled up his short sleeves to show off his muscles, "Don't believe in your man's strength? Who slept with me all night last night?"

Chang Le sometimes struggles to keep up with what the person in front of her is saying, like right now.

Ji knew she was easily embarrassed and couldn't take a joke, so he didn't tease her any further. Instead, he grabbed her hand and pulled her sleeve.

"Follow me, don't get lost."

She paused, then laughed, "Never mind, even if I get lost, I can find you."

Chang Le pursed her lips, saying nothing, but the tips of her ears turned completely red.

She stared intently at the man in front of her.

She should be the one worried about getting lost, but it was he who kept looking back at the hand on her sleeve that was holding hers.

Even though he usually takes long strides, over the years, in order to match her pace, his steps have become just as slow.

This trip was also because he had drunk a lot of alcohol and closed a big deal, so he thought he would take her out to see the world during the long weekend.

A few days ago, the original plan was to go directly to Berlin, but she felt that Berlin was too far away and too expensive, and that the money he had worked so hard to earn could not be wasted here.

She had money earned from part-time jobs and originally planned to travel within China, but after much pleading, she changed her destination to Thailand, which is very close to China.

Chang Le looked at him quietly.

So tall and imposing, yet so reassuring. As Chang Le looked at him, she unconsciously clenched the sleeve she was holding.

Ji Ye was checking the hotel address when he inadvertently turned around and saw the woman staring at him blankly.

Her dull eyes behind her glasses were now sparkling as she stared at him, as if she could see something in them.

Ji was very familiar with this kind of gaze; in recent years, women had been giving her this kind of look more and more often.

He smiled and pinched her cheek: "I'll show you slowly when we get back to the hotel, okay?"

Chang Le pursed her lips and silently clenched them tighter.

There was still one day before the actual trading day; the sky was overcast, and the rain was pouring down harder.

Yu Ci and her group checked into a suite at a hotel, but looking at the torrential rain outside the window, they lost all interest in going out to play.

"Where is the transaction taking place?" Yu Ci asked.

Lin Shen didn't even look up: "The people on Sally's side haven't been decided yet. I guess it'll be one of the three locations: Lovec Valley, Taiyan Ranch, or Maiqing Market. They're all very close to here."

"Play games! Play games!" the fat man shouted from the sofa.

The room was warm and cozy. Everyone was sitting around the carpet, having just finished eating hot pot, and now they were all feeling a bit sleepy.

Yu Ci yawned, intending to politely decline, but Lin Shen, seeing that she wanted to leave, casually put his long leg down, blocking the woman's way out.

Lin Shen: "Playing games, k."

Yu Ci raised an eyebrow and glanced at the group: "What are you playing?"

The fat man stretched out his hand, took out his phone, and opened an app: "Everyone put your fingers up here. Whoever's finger gets illuminated by the light ring has to play Truth or Dare. How about it?"

The monkey looked speechless: "How boring."

Yang Wen weakly raised his hand: "I don't want to participate."

Lin Shen lazily raised his hand: "Let's play, it's Truth or Dare."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Huai stood up and said calmly, "You guys have fun, I have something to do."

Lin Shen didn't even need to think: "Spending time with your sister-in-law again?"

Xi Huai hummed in agreement and left.

Yu Ci also stood up: "You guys play, I'm too sleepy."

Lin Shen raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

As soon as she returned to her bedroom, her phone rang. Lying on the bed, Yu Ci naturally answered the call.

Yu Ci: "What's wrong?"

Xi Huai glanced down at the time and said softly, "Still not awake?" It was 11 a.m. in Thailand, an hour later than in China.

Yu Ci played with her hair: "You're awake. What are you doing?"

Xi Huai chuckled softly: "I miss you."

He paused, then added, "I didn't talk to any other women. You be good too, and don't let any other guys get close, okay?"

Yu Ci has heard this sentence at least five times in the past few days, and she is both amused and exasperated.

Yu Ci: "If you're so worried about me having affairs, then come back sooner."

Xi Huai stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, a smile playing on his lips, and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, it'll be soon."

“Cici”.

"Ok?"

"When I get back, let's visit Uncle Yu and Aunt Song together."

"it is good."

The two talked on the phone for a long time, and the system meowed and transformed into a little black cat, nestling next to the woman.

After Yu Ci hung up the phone, the system said quietly: [Why did you agree to cooperate, host? Doesn't that increase the risk of exposing your identity?]

Look, it's only been a few days, and the gods have already put us through so many unexpected trials.

However, that DNA test was truly amazing; it immediately cleared the host of suspicion.

“They want to kill Sally, and they also have intelligence and influence outside. If I don’t cooperate with them, I’ll have to compete with the little fragments for kills.”

Yu Ci explained, "As for DNA..."

She was somewhat flattered when the system told her this.

I never expected the little fragments to be so clever.

It's just a pity.

The DNA database only retains the original owner's information, while she is a transmigrator from another body, whose DNA has not been entered, so of course they don't match.

Honestly, it's not even certain whether she, as a vampire, has any legitimate DNA.

"Let nature take its course." Yu Ci lay on the bed, her arm shielding her eyes.

"Once the male and female leads unlock an ending, they won't have to hide it from Little Fragment anymore."

Having said that,
I wonder how those two are doing.

-

The weather forecast says it will rain all day, so it's not advisable to go out.

Startled by being tightly embraced from behind, Chang Le looked up from the rain outside the French windows and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ji buried his face in the woman's neck and nuzzled her: "I want to hug you."

A large hand reached up from behind, removed the woman's glasses, and stroked the soft edges of her eyes.

“You always seem sullen,” Ji Ye said softly. “Especially when it rains, your mind wanders even more.”

"It's been many years."

The man's voice was hoarse. Chang Le was quietly held in his arms, and she reached out to grasp his large hands.

Chang Le: "I'm fine, I just really like rainy days."

Looking back out the window, I saw heavy rain pattering down, making the leaves on the trees sting.

Chang Le: "When it rains, I unconsciously space out."

As soon as she finished speaking, the embrace tightened.

Ji also said in a muffled voice: "Do you remember, during those three years of high school, whenever you had nothing to do, you would go to the balcony in the corridor and stare blankly for an hour at a time."

"Your eyes were dark and dull, and your whole demeanor was gloomy and stiff. It scared me."

Upon hearing this, Chang Le's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she whispered, "How could I have frightened you?"

Ji also smiled wryly: "The fifth floor, I'm afraid you might do something rash."
