After AFK for five years, I returned to be number one in the entire server.

Chapter 92 Shrimp

Igarashi Sayo looked at Lin Ye, who was a few dozen meters away, and wondered why she had come to Xia Shang and was chasing after Song Jing.

One reason is that Song Jing himself is a Chen-level player, possessing the strength to change the landscape of a region.

On the other hand, the Tianjie branch set a trap in the base that night, but because of him, he was not ambushed. He not only easily retrieved Yuanjie, but also found and rescued his long-lost younger brother.

After learning what had happened, the father praised Song Jing highly and expressed his intention to bring him into the family.

This sentiment coincided with her own. Song Jing's strength and the Tian Shu behind him were both worthy of the Igarashi family's best efforts to befriend him.

Saya Igarashi glanced at her secretary, Yumi Hayakawa, who stood respectfully to her side and behind her.

Some doubts that had been lingering in my mind recently suddenly became clear at this moment.

That day in the rented room, she left behind a bank card with five million yuan in it.

But when they went downstairs and got into the car, Hayakawa Yumi found that the card was back in her briefcase.

In the days that followed, she had Hayakawa Yumi secretly visit Lin Ye several times, and the outcome was always the same: the card would eventually return to Hayakawa Yumi.

At the time, Igarashi Saya thought that this might be due to Rin's ability as a Moon-level player.

As for the speculation that Lin Yetian is listed as a Moon-level on the official website, but is actually a hidden Dragon-level, such a guess is too far-fetched and the possibility is extremely low, so I have never thought about it in that direction.

Saya Igarashi put down her water glass, her delicate fingernails tapping lightly on the glass.

Since I've mistaken the person for someone else, I'll have to change my course of action.

Should we immediately change direction and shift our focus from Song Jing to Lin Ye?

She had a conflict with Lin because of Song Jing, which must have left a very bad impression on him.

If I were to immediately turn around and try to curry favor with Lin Ye, I wonder if it would only make him dislike me even more.

Song Jing sat on the bench, looking at the ever-changing face of Igarashi Saya not far away, and couldn't help but smile.

"Why do you look so pale? Did you mistake me for someone else? Oh my, this is hilarious."

Igarashi Sayo's thoughts were interrupted by Song Jing. Her beautiful eyes were like ice, and she gave Song Jing a cold look, uttering only two words.

"Shut up!"

Song Jing shrugged, wisely refraining from further provoking her.

As a young lady from a prominent family, Igarashi Saya possesses sufficient skill and decisiveness. Now that she has realized that the previous direction was wrong, she needs to adjust it in the shortest possible time.

She stood up, her long black dress swaying gently with her movements.

Saya Igarashi, wearing high heels, crossed the open space in the square and walked straight toward Hayashi.

Upon seeing this, the female secretary, Hayakawa Yumi, immediately took small, quick steps and followed closely behind.

Lin Ye was still standing there, somewhat dazed, until a faint scent of perfume mixed with crisp footsteps stopped in front of him, at which point he slightly raised his eyelids.

Igarashi Saya stood in front of Lin Ye, abandoning her previous condescending attitude. Although her tone was still cold, it clearly carried a hint of probing.

"Did you kill Kamiya Susumu?"

Hayakawa Yumi dutifully held up her phone and played the translated Chinese text.

Upon hearing this seemingly random statement, Lin Ye paused for a moment. He was unfamiliar with the name and couldn't recall killing anyone.

Lin also shook his head.

Saya Igarashi was slightly taken aback upon seeing this, but she quickly added more details.

"It's that Heavenly Rank Chen-level player you killed when you were in Fusang."

"There should be." Lin thought for a moment, and it seemed that there was such a person, so he gave his answer.

Saya Igarashi finally made up her mind. Her expression became more serious, and she bowed slightly, performing a standard Japanese greeting.

"It's him." Igarashi Saya looked at Lin Ye, hiding the arrogance in her eyes. "You killed Kamiya Suke, which is equivalent to doing a great favor for our Igarashi family."

The electronic voice of the translation software continued to echo in the square.

"I was rude at the rented apartment earlier. I mistook you for Song Jing and my attitude was quite offensive. I hope you don't mind."

Lin was not interested in her thanks and apologies; he just felt a little tired.

"It's alright." Lin also handed the badminton racket back to Zhao Qishan. "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

He walked away along the bluestone path he had come from, leaving the group with only his back turned.

Saya Igarashi stood there, watching the direction he had left in.

noon.

The second canteen at Ningchuan University was bustling with activity, with long queues forming in front of each food stall.

Shen Yi and her roommates Zhou Ran and Zhao Jiaxin carried their trays and finally found a few empty seats in a secluded corner.

There were four seats at the long table. The three of them had just sat down and hadn't even picked up their chopsticks when a tall, slender figure walked over carrying a plate.

The visitor didn't ask any questions or engage in any further pleasantries; he simply sat down in the empty seat next to Shen Yi.

Zhou Ran and Zhao Jiaxin thought it was some boy trying to chat them up. They were fine, but Shen Yi, even after she had a boyfriend, still had a lot of boys gathering around her. Of course, without exception, they would all be ruthlessly chased away by Shen Yi in the end.

When they realized that the person sitting down was Lin Ye, the chopsticks they had just picked up were left hanging in mid-air.

The atmosphere at the table became strange. In their eyes, the current state between Lin Ye and Shen Yi was truly incomprehensible.

They were the kind of exes who would never see each other again, but yesterday Lin found Shen Yi who was lost on the mountain and even took her hand to walk down with her.

However, if the two have already reconciled and made up, the fact that they are sitting side by side without exchanging a single word shows none of the sweetness that couples in the throes of new love should have.

Zhao Jiaxin glanced at Shen Yi across the table out of the corner of her eye, then secretly gave Zhou Ran a subtle look: Should we find an excuse to leave first?

Zhou Ran shook her head almost imperceptibly, responding with her eyes in return: Let's see how things go first.

After a brief exchange of glances, the two reached a consensus and tacitly lowered their heads to concentrate on the food on their plates, trying their best to minimize their presence.

Shen Yi stiffened slightly the moment Lin Ye sat down, but she did not pick up the plate to move away.

Her plate contained only stir-fried bok choy and a simple tofu dish. Perhaps due to her usual eating habits or the mental anguish she had been experiencing recently, her meals had always been very vegetarian.

Lin Ye remained calm. He picked up his chopsticks, took the shrimp from his plate, and placed it on Shen Yi's plate.
