No matter what tricks Song Leilei came up with, Xu Jingzhi could handle them with ease.

He simply let go of her hands and walked forward, and this time it was Song Leilei's turn to scream in fright.

"I'm going to fall!"

“You wanted to come down, didn’t you? I’m giving you a chance.” Xu Jingzhi raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

He knew that Song Leilei was timid and afraid of pain, and would never be willing to let herself get hurt.

Since she couldn't add Xia Xinyuan as a friend, Song Leilei could only look for him on Weibo, but after looking for a long time, she didn't dare to send him a private message.

She checked her recent love fortune and concluded that it wasn't the right time yet.

Su Jin was stunned when she saw the long message Song Leilei sent her. She pressed the voice message button and said, "How could your senior remember you? You said your name was Song Leilei and he immediately thought of you. I find it strange. Xu Jingzhi is a man, and he must have a better eye for men than you do."

“I’m back.” Zheng Lin hugged Su Jin from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and glanced at her phone screen. “You’re chatting with your best friend again. You haven’t thought about me all day. I told you, I’ve been away for so long, and you haven’t sent me a single punctuation mark.”

Su Jin hadn't taken on any other work yet, and had spent the whole day shopping, so she hadn't really thought about Zheng Lin.

Besides, her husband is such a capable person that she doesn't need to worry about him at all.

Su Jin put down her phone, turned around, and cupped Zheng Lin's face in her hands. "I just want you to focus on doing what you need to do and don't want you to be distracted."

Getting Bai Qingchi to stay inside and not come out again is the most important thing; their personal feelings can be put aside for now.

That's what she was thinking, but she didn't say it aloud.

Zheng Lin complained slightly, "Your failure to message me only distracts me more. I thought you were angry with me again."

"That Bai Qingchi..."

“It’s all taken care of. Although my brother really wanted to get her out, after my investigation, I found that she had committed more than just one or two crimes. And I never imagined that she was also involved in a murder case, where someone took the blame for her.” Zheng Lin spoke casually, but he was still somewhat moved. “I never thought she would do those things.”

“She used to be my best friend. If I hadn’t died, I would still consider her my best friend. I never thought she would want to kill me.” Su Jin’s eyes dimmed as she thought of the painful memories of her previous life. “And she was with Zhao Xichen. Sometimes, if you misjudge someone or trust them too easily, you can really be doomed.”

Zheng Lin felt nothing but heartache for what she had gone through. All he could do was pat her head and then hug her to comfort her.

Unfortunately, in his previous life, he didn't know any of this; he only wanted to die to be with her.

If he had known, he would have avenged her at that time.

His memories of his previous life were only a tiny bit from his dreams.

So he asked in a gentle voice, with curiosity, "What was I like in my previous life?"

"It wasn't good at all, it was terrible. You didn't even come to congratulate me at my wedding," Su Jin said. "What's worse is... you didn't even send a red envelope!"

Zheng Lin: "..." It feels like a heart attack.

"Little money-grubber." Zheng Lin always felt that Xiao Jin was different from ten years ago. It must be because Xiao Jin had experienced too much since then. Fate can change a person.

He wanted to give her more security, so after thinking for a moment, he took his laptop and placed it on his lap.

His brows were furrowed, and his fingers kept tapping on the keyboard.

Su Jin leaned closer to him, glancing indifferently at the screen. "You still have a job? This is a will. You're still taking on this job? Could it be another woman who suddenly became rich and is now approaching you, your ex-girlfriend?"

Zheng Lin typed very quickly, and soon he had drafted the document and sent it to Assistant Gao.

He was focused on his work and didn't pay attention to what she was saying until now.

What did you just say?

"Who is your ex-girlfriend? You can't have never had a girlfriend in all these years since we broke up," Su Jin suddenly asked the deadly question.

No man can answer questions about his ex-girlfriend with a smile, because no matter what he says, he'll be wrong.

"You are my ex-girlfriend."

"real?"

"Hmm. Put yourself in my shoes. Besides you, who else could possibly enter my heart?"

Su Jinji got goosebumps. She rubbed her arms and said, "Hey, you've gotten greasy."

......

Xu Jingzhi thought she could go home today, but as soon as she left Song Leilei's apartment and was about to get into her car, Song Leilei called again.

As soon as the call connected, his hearing was almost ruined.

The woman on the other end of the phone screamed in alarm.

Startled, Xu Jingzhi didn't even take the elevator. He ran from the first floor to the twelfth floor in one breath, his figure like a gust of wind, and rushed to Song Leilei's door.

His mind was filled with images of Song Leilei's murder, flashing through his mind like scenes from a certain anime.

He pounded on Song Leilei's door, yelling, "Open the door!"

No, there are bad people inside. How could Song Leilei possibly open the door?

Thinking it over, Xu Jingzhi turned to the side and rammed the door with all his might. He rammed it two or three times, and the screams of the woman inside came out again. His heart panicked even more, and he rammed it again with all his might.

At the same time, the door opened from the inside.

Xu Jingzhi's body missed its target and flew straight inside, landing on a soft surface.

"Xu Jingzhi, are you poisonous?" Song Leilei was about to get up when a large spider on the floor quickly crawled towards her, and she screamed loudly.

Xu Jingzhi's eyes swept around her house, and as she screamed, he stomped on and crushed a giant spider.

Song Leilei watched helplessly as the spider, which was moving at high speed toward her, was crushed when it was only a meter away from her.

She tried to make a sound, but was too frightened to utter a sound, and then she fainted.

Two minutes later, Song Leilei woke up and looked at the floor again. It was clean and there was no trace of spiders.

Still shaken, she gripped Xu Jingzhi's wrist and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is the spider dead?"

"I thought someone broke into your house. Next time, could you please not just shout and explain yourself clearly?" Xu Jingzhi looked at her still-shaken eyes and wanted to say something, but then swallowed it back.

Forget it, Song Leilei has always been a timid girl. The only thing she's brave about is hitting him. A girl who dares to hit him, yet she wouldn't even dare to lay a hand on an insect.

Xu Jingzhi always treated Song Leilei like a child, so he didn't hold it against her. Being scolded and beaten by a child didn't hurt him.

He knew that what she feared most was spiders, those large, multi-legged insects.

Xu Jingzhi reached out and ruffled her soft hair. "Don't be afraid, Leilei. It was just a big bug. I killed it for you. Our Leilei is the bravest. I'll teach you a trick: spray insecticide once a week."
