Mr. Lin laughed heartily, with the carefreeness unique to youth.
If any wanderer from the west street saw Mr. Lin now, their jaw would surely drop.
Because Mr. Linās appearance now is exactly the same as the cheerful young companion who disappeared many days ago in their memory! Even his demeanor had not changed at all.
"Mr. Lin, then Iāll arrange the Shadow Guard..."
"No need. Iām only going out for a few days, what could possibly happen."
Mr. Lin waved his hand.
Mr. Lin has left.
No one dared to stop him.
It was only then that Lin Ye dared to raise his head and look towards the empty area behind him.
There, Mr. Linās figure had long disappeared.
His expression was complex, as if deep in thought.
"Mr. Linās Divine Skill is getting more and more sinister."
"Itās also... becoming more like a demon."
"Rejuvenating, changing unpredictably."
"Where will Mr. Lin eventually end up?"
"Since madamās death, Mr. Lin hasnāt cared about his sons."
"Perhaps from that day on, Mr. Lin has been walking a non-human path, and itās getting farther and farther."
Dismissing the servants, Lin Ye looked at the lofty, now empty seat, took a deep breath, and turned to leave.
Then, he was suddenly facing the third young master, nearly bumping into him.
"Third young master?"
Lin Ye spoke questioningly, only to see the third young master silently open his palm.
There, lay a blue Thousand Paper Cranes.
...
"Fang Yu?"
"Fang Yu!"
Qi Xiaojinās voice snapped Fang Yu back to reality.
"Ah? Whatās up?"
Qi Xiaojin was holding her chin with one hand and squinting with a smile at Fang Yu.
"Nothing, you just seemed a bit distracted."
"Ah... I was just thinking about something in the game."
Fang Yu yawned.
After exiting the game, he was browsing forums, preparing to cook.
Then suddenly, he received a message from Sister Jin, asking him to pack up simply and accompany her to pick up someone at the airport.
Honestly, Fang Yuās mind was still in the game, thinking about when his character would revive and continue the game.
He really didnāt want to leave the house.
But how could he refuse Sister Jin, especially now that he temporarily couldnāt log in.
After a quick wash, Sister Jin pulled him into her private car and headed straight for the airport.
Now the two were still sitting in the car, with a driver driving in front, so they didnāt need to worry.
But the car was a bit stuffy, and with the matters in the game, he felt a bit sleepy and his thoughts drifted.
He didnāt expect to get caught by Sister Jin just then.
Speaking of the game, it was really annoying.
If the character is unconscious, just unconscious, but give a progress bar when they will wake up.
But there were no hints at all.
Either you just stay online 24 hours, and whenever it suddenly connects, that means the character has awakened.
Or, you do something else and intermittently log into the game to see, whenever itās suddenly not a black screen, then you can play.
Thatās more outrageous even compared to those old gamesā server maintenance times.
At least others give a phony announcement during server maintenance, giving people some hope.
Though it never starts on time, at least thereās something to look forward to.
"How is it? Is it boring to be with me?"
Qi Xiaojin narrowed her eyes slightly.
This scared Fang Yu from his daze into instant alertness.
"No, not at all! I was just encountering some problems in the game, thinking about strategies for making big money!"
Saying this, Fang Yu didnāt forget to ambitiously promise.
"Once I make big money, Iāll definitely treat you to a big meal at the end of the month!"
Qi Xiaojin giggled, clearly amused by something not so funny, but as long as it was from Fang Yu, she found it delightful, her lips curving up uncontrollably.
"Iāll be waiting."
Qi Xiaojin blinked.
The two were alone, yet it seemed like they ran out of topics.
But even just sitting together was enough to make Qi Xiaojin extremely satisfied and happy.
After all, in their past lives, both lived days of clinging to survival, with life hanging by a thread every day; it was impossible to sit down peacefully like now, worry-free together.
In fact, this was exactly what Qi Xiaojin wanted to pursue, wanted to protect!
These hard-to-come-by peaceful days, simple everyday moments, were what she dreamt of in her past life.
Now, it was like a dream turned into reality.
The only regret was that Fang Yu had no memory of their past lives together.
"But... I have it, thatās enough."
Qi Xiaojin, whispered softly.
"What?"
Fang Yu asked curiously, as it seemed like he just heard Sister Jin say something.
Qi Xiaojin shook her head with a smile.
At this moment, the car slowed down.
In front, the airport was already visible.
Jiangnan City had two airports.
Located on the east and west ends.
One was the old airport, which had existed long before Qi Xiaojin had memory.
The other airport was built only in the last five or six years.
With newer facilities and a bigger space.
Just the underground parking lot was two to three times bigger than the old airport.
Qi Xiaojin remembered that in the apocalypse of her past life, installations like airports were among the first to be destroyed by demon attacks.
At that time, she hadnāt thought much of it, as surviving each day was an issue in itself.
But now, thinking about it carefully, those demons seemed to have done so intentionally.
Qi Xiaojin furrowed her brows slightly, an extremely terrifying conjecture kindling in her mind.
Could it be... that before the apocalypse descended, the demons already knew some information about their real world?
The vehicle stopped.
Qi Xiaojin got out of the car first, followed closely by Fang Yu.
Fang Yu was somewhat puzzled; speaking of which, he had not yet asked who Sister Jin was picking up.
