Eyes that are the same as those of evil

Chapter 181 Who?!

Going out to play was something Tan Jia had planned long ago.

These past few months have been filled with cases, all of them complex and difficult cases that require continuous, round-the-clock investigation. My brain and body feel like they're being constantly stretched with bandages, and I desperately need to relax.

Previously at the archery range, someone recommended an outdoor archery field with beautiful scenery. In addition to archery, fishing, and boating, you can also stay in a unique guesthouse and enjoy a few meals of farm-style barbecue.

She planned to give it a try with Lin Zhiyue—he had said "I'll teach you when I have time" and "I'll take you out to play" several times before, but he rarely kept his promises. Every time she was fed in the morning and asked about her safety in the evening, she felt a little embarrassed.

This time, we'll make up for it all at once.

The day after the Lin family left, Tan Jia called him and asked if he wanted to go.

"You can refuse if you don't like it."

Most people say "thank you" and "sorry" all the time, but find it hard to say no. So she always adds that phrase.

However, Lin Zhiyue never refused her suggestion.

They set off in the afternoon, and the two met at the entrance. He was unusually dressed in a white tracksuit, wearing a hat similar to Tan Jia's baseball cap, and carrying his newly bought recurve bow and arrows.

The outfit was a rare sight and refreshing.

Tan Jia and he kissed for three minutes at the door, until their hats fell to the ground before they separated.

The auntie, preparing to go home and take her day off in the kitchen, secretly messaged the boss to earn "project fees": [They kissed.]

An Hong: [! How did he perform?]

Auntie: [How could I tell? Oh, it's all good, isn't it? She's holding the person so tightly that there's no air around, and Jiajia is even laughing.]

An Hong: [Okay, okay, they're going out for a couple of days, right? Tell the bodyguards not to get too close, just follow them discreetly, don't disturb their romance.]

This doesn't really need to be mentioned, because the bodyguards have learned to dodge whenever they kiss, pretending to be looking at the scenery.

Young people in love often enjoy physical intimacy. They might get into a car, eat a cream puff, and end up kissing while eating.

Lin Zhiyue stared at Tan Jia intently, taking every opportunity to get closer. Tan Jia didn't refuse, and after more than an hour's drive, by the time they got off the car, the lip gloss on her lips had been eaten clean.

As evening approached, the suburban scenery was shrouded in a hazy twilight. A lush green landscape stretched as far as the eye could see, and the air was fresh and pleasant. Tan Jia took several deep breaths as soon as she got out of the car.

"It's so cool here."

"Ah."

Lin Zhiyue was behind her, trying to find something to say even when he didn't have anything to say. He was carrying two people's bags on his back, and he still had to free up one hand to hold hers.

I led her inside, skillfully turning left and right until we found our accommodation.

"Did you look at a map of this place beforehand?" Tan Jia asked.

He grunted in response and methodically showed his identification to check in. He also booked the venue and a private room in the restaurant for the next two days. It was clear that he had done his research carefully, as he swiped his card with great practice.

After they finished, he took her hand again, and as they walked into the empty corridor, he whispered, "I have no experience in relationships, but I want to do more for you."

He is also very willing to do these little things that he is not good at or has never experienced before.

Lin Zhiyan's words make some sense; beautiful memories require the effort of two people to cultivate them together.

Tan Jia chuckled, and stopped at the doorway, saying meaningfully, "So you booked a room for the two of us?"

Lin Zhiyue looked at her, her voice lowering, "Is it not allowed?"

"What do you think?"

"Don't boyfriends and girlfriends live together? We're dating." After saying that, his gaze was like an automatic X-ray, fixed on her reaction.

Tan Jia didn't realize it and said as he opened the door, "We're in a relationship, but I don't like to push things too far in unfamiliar places." "I won't..." Lin Zhiyue immediately said.

"But I'm not sure." The door opened, Tan Jia kissed his Adam's apple, blinked, and went into the room with her things.

Lin Zhiyue stood at the door, her ears and neck as red as a sunset.

The environment here is really nice. We had dinner in a decorative thatched pavilion, enjoying simple home-cooked meals while feeling the evening breeze, and chatting occasionally. It was very relaxing for both mind and body.

Tan Jia had also drunk some wine. With one hand supporting his head and the other fiddling with the newly sculpted dough target, he explained the rules of tomorrow's archery game to Lin Zhiyue.

As they were talking, Lin Zhiyue placed his hands on hers, his palms covering the back of her hands, his chin resting on her shoulder, and pulled her into his arms from behind.

"What?"

He remained silent for several minutes before whispering, "Can I kiss you again?"

Tan Jia understood what he meant by omitting something, tilted her head and kissed his Adam's apple, which immediately rose and fell as if in response.

She let out a muffled laugh and slipped one hand inside his clothes.

"If you beat me in archery tomorrow, I'll let you live with me, how about it?"

Lin Zhiyue felt as if he were being burned by flames, his body tense, and his voice was slightly stiff: "Okay, no going back on your word."

"When have I ever gone back on my word? But you won't beat me easily."

As he spoke, he teased her with his fingers. Lin Zhiyue took a breath, but instead of pressing her hand down, he parted her wolf tail, which had grown a little longer, and wrapped the green hair around his fingers, his breath swirling around her ear and cheek.

Like a cat that sniffs and sniffs.

"I will try my best," he said.

But even hard work can't compare to the veteran. On the second day, Tan Jia easily took the lead at the archery range. Across the lake, a row of fishermen were clapping and cheering.

Although Lin Zhiyue's performance was much better than before, he was still an inexperienced novice. When his shot went slightly off target, his two bodyguards would sigh in unison.

Fortunately, he didn't mind. The fragrance and laughter wafting from Tan Jia in the wind were enough to satisfy him, and he remained calm.

I practiced for an extra two hours in the afternoon, and my arm muscles were a bit congested and the lines were more defined. I also unexpectedly got thirty minutes of kissing time.

Overall, it was a fulfilling and pleasant day.

Tan Jia hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time. When she got back to her room that night, she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. In her half-awake state, she suddenly felt a cool breeze.

She opened her eyes and found herself walking in a dimly lit passage, her footsteps light and silent.

Then "she" stopped in front of a door, lowered her head and swiped the door open. She held her breath and waited in place until the slight beeping sound stopped and she realized that no one was paying attention to her. Then "she" slowly pushed the door open and squeezed through the narrow crack like a shadow without a physical form.

The room was pitch black. She groped her way forward, moving very slowly, taking one step and then stopping, changing direction whenever her toes touched an object, until she finally reached a bed.

Listen quietly, and you can hear the source of her breathing. The disgust, hatred, and twisted pain made "her" grit her teeth and bend down, slowly grasping the edge of the pillow with one hand and pulling a knife from her bosom with the other, holding it tightly.

With his hand raised high, the faint light from the Bluetooth earphone charging case cast the shadow of the knife tip, parallel to a recurve bow standing in the corner.

……bow?

Tan Jiaxin's heart skipped a beat in her sleep. She struggled to open her eyes and saw a blurry face very close to hers. The other person's breath sprayed onto her nose, making her hair stand on end in fright.

"Who!" She quickly rolled over to avoid it, but she was a step too slow, and the tip of the knife grazed her arm and pierced into the blanket.

Tan Jia was startled and tried to roll off the bed to turn on the light and call for help, but the person grabbed her leg first. The next second, a sharp pain shot through her head, and her vision went completely dark.
