Although he felt indifferent to everything, he knew he had to fit in at work.
Second, issues related to platform tasks.
The platform is currently conducting a review, and reviewers will be sent over during this period.
He and Bai Weiran do not have superhuman abilities in the present world, but the examiner who came from another time will.
They could be hiding nearby at any time, monitoring them.
To avoid any accidents or being caught red-handed, which could implicate each other, they have been in very little contact lately.
Wu Ji didn't want to talk much about the platform, but under the pressure of writing, he could only tell it all in a low voice.
Qin Ning changed from leaning back in her chair to leaning forward, resting her elbows on the table, her large eyes dark and deep.
"Then tell me, is it possible... that the inspector hid Wei Ran's brother?"
“Brother Weiran wouldn’t disappear on his own initiative, so he must have been hidden away. Brother Weiran doesn’t make enemies and is cautious in his actions. The only abnormal person around him, hey, it can only be your lousy platform that’s up to something.”
Wu Ji: …………
He really wanted to complain about Qin Ning. After all, the platform had helped her, and now she was turning her back on her?
But he cleverly swallowed those words.
I don't think so.
"I don't want to hear this." Qin Ning interrupted Wu Ji directly, her tone autocratic and domineering.
“I don’t like to hear ‘should,’ ‘you think,’ ‘you judge’ or ‘you believe’. I want an answer, I want an objective judgment.”
"Give me a straight answer, and you can contact the platform, right? Ask them, now! Right now!"
Wu Ji was not afraid when he was given the order; in fact, he found it somewhat amusing.
In the current situation, I feel like someone is being held at knifepoint, unwillingly doing work.
Even if they hadn't pressured him so much, he would have still helped.
There's no way to make a yandere (obsessive person) be gentle, rational, and reasonable when they're in a bad mood.
He logged into the platform and checked Bai Weiran's task status, only to be surprised to find that it had changed from "Task in progress" to "Idle".
He sent a message to Gaga.
[Hello, your account is currently inactive, so our customer service team is unable to answer your questions.]
[...Please help me, haha, this is really urgent.]
【Hey, your account was suspended, I shouldn't have talked to you! Never mind, go ahead and ask!】
Wu Ji then explained the matter.
【…………! ? The inspector took Mr. Wei Ran away, why? Mr. Wei Ran is originally from this world, he cannot be taken away.】
The platform would not arbitrarily imprison a user, and I have reviewed Mr. Wei Ran's recent reputation record; everything is good and there are no problems. I estimate that the approval document from above will be issued in two days, and his account privileges will be fully restored.
That's great! What about me?
【You have a lot of bad records, so the failure rate is relatively high. The review is strict, and you'll have to wait another half month ヽ(`⌒')ノ】
Wu Ji raised an eyebrow, his face adorned with a cute pen nib. He held his phone in both hands and typed rapidly.
[Is this a classic case of the "good student is innocent" argument?]
[Just because I, Bai Shao, unlocked an S-rank or A-rank perfect mission, you all prejudicially assume he's flawless.]
[And because my grades are worse, the review process takes longer? (〃>皿<) How infuriating, what kind of feudalistic teacher-student mentality is this?]
I protest! I protest your tyranny!! My character is impeccable!!
[...If you want your account restrictions lifted sooner, criticize the platform less, protest less, and do more tasks. I'm very busy, contact me via message in a bottle if needed!!]
Gaga clearly had reservations as well. Unlike before, she didn't chat with Wu Ji for a while, but left the conversation as quickly as possible after saying a few words.
Wu Ji shrugged and stated his conclusion.
“Miss Qin, cute girl, if it’s not a platform issue, then we can only consider another possibility.”
The three people inside fell silent for a moment.
Even though there was no wind, the curtains in front of the French windows swayed gently.
An invisible gaze shifted from Wu Ji to Qin Ning and Mengmeng.
Xx
The lights were off in Bai Weiran's room, with only the dim light coming in from the streetlights outside the window.
Qin Ning lay on the bed, hugging the pillow with both hands, burying her face in the soft pillow core, her slender shoulders gently trembling.
Soft sobs.
Burying her face in the blanket wasn't enough, wearing his clothes wasn't enough, and even wrapping herself in the blanket he usually slept in wasn't enough—after leaving Wu Ji's residence and doing everything she could to ask, Qin Ning began to lose control of her collapsing emotions.
The carefully maintained arrogance crumbled.
It all started with losing contact, followed by shock, anger, frantic searching, and finally, fear and intense panic.
Many terrifying images lingered in her mind again and again.
She wasn't afraid of being kidnapped; she had plenty of money to ransom him.
But she was afraid of being left without a word, without any news.
This amplified her delicate fears and sensitivities to the maximum.
Just a few days ago, he was still by her side, his body warm and his breath comforting.
He would smile and coax her, and even without doing anything shameful, her dreams were full of color.
She is actually not independent at all.
Wei Ran's brother praised her for being smart, independent, good at managing people, and having a long-term vision.
She was happy and proud when she was praised.
But Wei Ran didn't know that it was he who gave her the courage to move forward.
Because she doesn't have to worry about him being cowardly, timid, running away, or irresponsible. As long as she turns around, he's always there. He accepts all those unreasonable demands. She doesn't have to exert herself to bear these things, and she doesn't have to hesitate about whether she's a monster or whether she deserves to be accepted. So she can look further ahead.
He was her guiding light.
But the road sign is gone.
It was stolen—
Qin Ning angrily raised her small fist and pounded it against the pillow.
She was going to kill that thief—
"I will definitely kill you, I will definitely—"
Her sobs grew clearer.
It mingled with the crackling sound coming from the closet.
Mengmeng lay in the closet, completely oblivious to Qin Ning's sadness outside.
Her once neatly folded and clean clothes were now a mess, crumpled up like a small bird's nest surrounding her. She opened her eyes to look at the dehumidifier hanging above, holding a bag of family-sized potato chips in her arms, mechanically putting one chip after another into her mouth.
Unlike Qin Ning, who broke down in tears, Mengmeng didn't shed a single tear.
Instead, she remained remarkably calm and clear-headed.
Her eyes were wooden, red, and devoid of any emotion, like the finest rubies.
"...I will come and pick you up to go home."
"Really!?"
"Okay, I'll go to your school."
"Wow, then I'll stop breathing from now on until you catch me!"
"No need for that, I don't want to receive a suffocatingly cute girl."
"I'm choking, can you give me artificial respiration?"
"...CPR is so stimulating, can you handle it?"
"How will you know if you don't try? Hmph!"
She had thought about it countless times.
She imagined how she should look when he came to pick her up. She rehearsed it countless times in a mental table, imagining herself as feminine, cute, playful, and charming.
She tried everything she could to be prettier than Qin Ning and Sister Xia.
She even secretly altered the length of her uniform skirt by five centimeters.
Make sure he can't take his eyes off it.
Look, Bai Weiran, this is the allure of a high school girl's uniform!
University students don't have uniforms, which is an advantage for me.
Then Bai Weiran was captivated by her, completely mesmerized.
But she never saw him again.
She stood alone at the school gate like a fool, carrying her luggage. As everyone else was picked up and the sun slowly set, she refused to leave, continuing to call and leave him messages.
One hundred? Two hundred?
It doesn't matter, I can't remember anyway.
"Mengmeng can go to school, Mengmeng can read Zhuangzi, and Mengmeng can strive to live a good life."
She stopped eating potato chips and muttered to herself.
"Mengmeng can hold back her tears, she can refrain from playing games, and she can avoid eating crabs."
"But as for the matter of taking Bai Weiran away and hiding him, well, no one is allowed to—"
Even Bai Weiran himself couldn't hide himself.
Because he belongs to her.
