Chapter 1358: Heavenly Lone Star Exorcist vs. Perpetual Runner-Up (Part 45)

The system quietly remained silent.

It actually wanted to tell the host that it might be better to be honest with Zhou Bingzhu.

It’s clear that Zhou Bingzhu is deeply in love with the host, but only the host is deceiving herself, thinking he can live well after she leaves.

However, the system felt that hiding this way was unfair to Zhou Bingzhu.

The system believed the host was caught in emotions, blinded by herself.

Silently, it watched as its host picked up that bowl of porridge, savoring it as she drank it, sip by sip.

Inexplicably, the system felt its host was also quite pitiful.

It thought that as an observer, it should do something.

Zhou Bingzhu is acting so recklessly now, and if pushed to the edge, it’s hard to say what he might do.

After that morning, Zhou Bingzhu hadn’t come for three days.

During that time, Gu Shengyin attempted to go outside, only to find tight security guarding outside her room.

Gu Shengyin estimated that with her current abilities, the possibility of escaping was zero.

However, she didn’t intend to escape.

She tentatively asked if the many incomplete diagrams at her previous residence were still there.

This Miss Jiang’s matter is very important; it’s the Second Master’s order.

The people didn’t dare to hide anything and reported to Zhou Bingzhu.

Zhou Bingzhu had seen those diagrams, filled with dense mathematical formulas and strange drawings.

He couldn’t understand them, nor did the people he found understand what they were.

Hearing Jiang Lan inquire about them, he said nothing more and sent them over to her.

Gu Shengyin breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as she shifted her focus to the diagrams, Zhou Bingzhu met a woman.

This woman was Yan Zi.

Yan Zi was direct and asked, "Is Jiang Lan with you?"

Zhou Bingzhu remained silent.

Yan Zi was pretty certain of her suspicion and said, "You captured her, you imprisoned her?"

Zhou Bingzhu replied, "If you don’t have anything important, I’ll see you out now."

Yan Zi feared he might do something irreparable to Gu Shengyin and quickly said, "I came to tell you something."

Seeing Zhou Bingzhu unmoved, Yan Zi continued, "About Jiang Lan, about her greatest secret."

Zhou Bingzhu finally looked up.

When only the two of them were left in the room, Yan Zi finally spoke, "You like Jiang Lan, but she never accepts you?"

Zhou Bingzhu coldly said, "If all you’re going to say is this nonsense, I’ll doubt the decision I just made."

Seeing him signaling for someone to enter, Yan Zi sighed and finally began to speak slowly.

Gu Shengyin was sitting on the wool carpet drawing diagrams.

She was deeply engrossed, and when she finally solved a difficult problem and looked up, she saw Zhou Bingzhu standing in front of her, his eyes looking complexly at her.

She had no idea how long he had been watching.

Gu Shengyin said, "System, why didn’t you remind me?"

The system replied, "You were too engrossed; I didn’t want to disrupt your thoughts."

In fact, it felt slightly guilty as if without its hints, Yan Zi wouldn’t have revealed things so quickly.

Thankfully, Gu Shengyin didn’t mind it.

She didn’t get up but coldly looked at Zhou Bingzhu, "Second Young Master Zhou, what are you here for? Want to sleep with me again?"
