"Is Chu Si here?"

[Host, Chu Si has returned to his room. Before he returned, he happened to meet the male lead and gave him a cloak, saying he was worried he would catch a cold.]

Xiao Qi told everything he knew without reservation.

Ning Wan breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that her fourth brother would not be coming.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the main hall.

Before Ning Wan could say anything more, the door was slightly pushed open.

Seeing that there was someone else in the hall, Shen Jingze's eyes showed a hint of surprise, as if he was wondering why this person appeared here at this time.

"Miss Ning, it's so late, haven't you rested yet?"

Shen Jingze's voice was a little hoarse, but there was a bright smile on his face, and it was impossible to tell what kind of illness he was suffering from.

His hand did not move away from the door, and the blue veins exposed at the joints were enough to show that he was supporting the half-open door.

Ning Wan nodded slightly, "Yeah."

The door of the main hall is made of mahogany. Due to its heavy weight, if there is no support, it will close by itself in a moment after someone leaves.

A breeze blew, blowing Shen Jingze's clothes, and also fell on Ning Wan's body and the candlelight in the hall.

Ning Wan's gaze fell on Shen Jingze's other clenched fist.

Perhaps it was because Ning Wan's gaze was too direct, and before she could speak, Shen Jingze had already made his next move.

He opened his clenched fist slightly and carefully shook off his cuffs so that his hands could be hidden in them naturally.

"Close the door. If you blow out the incense, the gods might get angry."

The wind outside was still a little cold, and Ning Wan didn't want to make his condition worse.

Shen Jingze was stunned for a moment and lowered his head slightly.

The corner of his mouth curled up: It's just a little bit of incense, how could he be so stingy.

"But...but...there are differences between men and women...ahem...it might affect Miss Ning's purity."

"Don't say but, I don't care about these, just close the door first."

Shen Jingze wanted to finish his words smoothly, but his body was not up to the task and he started coughing uncontrollably.

His originally pale face turned slightly red after this coughing.

Ning Wan interrupted Shen Jingze's actions and stepped forward to pull down Shen Jingze's hand that was blocking the door.

After closing the door, the gust of wind also disappeared.

[Host, that gust of wind just now was the hero's own masterpiece. His purpose was to make you feel sorry for him.]

Seeing the host's face full of worry, Xiao Qi said it without any hesitation.

Ning Wan froze for a moment after learning the truth, and then quickly let go of Shen Jingze's hand.

Shen Jingze, who was so close to them, did not notice anything unusual. Instead, he kept a distance between them with great courtesy.

The hand hidden in the sleeve trembled slightly, and thinking of the warm feeling just now, Shen Jingze's eyes darkened a little.

Ning Wan cleared her coughs a few times, wondering how to find the starting point for her mission.

Just thinking about it, Ning Wan keenly felt that Shen Jingze's eyes were always on her. It was not a calculation, but it made her want to escape.

Before Ning Wan could react, her hand landed on the door. Before she could exert any force, Shen Jingze behind her bowed slightly and saluted.

"Wait a minute, Miss Ning, you've come here so late, is there something you want to ask the gods for?"

Ning Wan, who was called, turned around and looked at Shen Jingze in front of her, realizing that her behavior was too extreme.

“Well, Mr. Shen is also…” Asking for help from the gods, right?

Before Ning Wan finished speaking, Shen Jingze raised his eyes slightly, his eyebrows and eyes showing a hint of joy.

"Miss Ning, could you please tell me this?"

Shen Jingze's attitude became more sincere, and it could even be said that he was a little excited.

But this attitude made Ning Wan frown.

[Host, please be careful. Once the protagonist helps you fulfill your long-cherished wish, it will be equivalent to reaching a deal with the gods.]

Ning Wan thought of her short biography of just a few dozen words, cheered herself up, and was about to refuse.

But he saw that the eyes of Shen Jingze in front of him were full of sincere expectation.

Seeing that Ning Wan didn't speak, Shen Jingze continued, "Miss Ning saved me twice, it's reasonable and logical, I should help Miss Ning once."

"I know I may not be able to help Miss Ning, but it's just a matter of the gods, and I only seek psychological comfort. I only believe that everything is in the hands of man. If Miss Ning is willing to trust me, Shen Jingze swears here that he is willing to do his best to help Miss Ning fulfill her wish."

Shen Jingze's words were sincere, and the seriousness in his eyes could not be slandered.

“No need.”

After a moment of silence, Ning Wan spoke again:

"I didn't make my words clear before, so I'll make them clear today."

"I saved you without expecting anything in return."

"No matter who I meet, I will save them."

“So Mr. Shen doesn’t have to use the grace of saving his life to tie himself up. Living well is the greatest reward for me.”

The smile on Shen Jingze's eyebrows slowly disappeared, the slightly curved corners of his mouth were also straightened, his eyelids slightly blinked, and his tone was a little lost: "Well, I understand."

Ning Wan didn't say much, but she felt that the door in her hand seemed to have become very different.

"Xiao Qi, this door?"

[The host was right in his guess. It was the man who took the initiative.]

Seeing all this, Xiao Qi showed no mercy when exposing the male protagonist's little tricks, and just spoke the truth.

"I still have a question in my mind, and I would like Miss Ning to explain it to me."

Shen Jingze quickly adjusted his mood and spoke again.

Ning Wan: "Ask."

"Was it really just a coincidence when Miss Ning saved me for the second time?"

When Shen Jingze asked this, his eyes fell on Ning Wan's face, unwilling to miss any of her subtle expressions.

When Ning Wan appeared that day, Shen Jingze said he had no doubts that it was fake.

The back mountain is so big, and two people showed up at the most critical moment.

It was understandable that the demon was controlled by that thing, but if Ning Wan didn't care about him, how could she appear so timely?

Perhaps the threat was too great, Xiao Qi, who also lived in the sea of ​​consciousness, keenly sensed Shen Jingze's suspicion.

In short, it is now very glad that it is not a wild system, but a system with an organization and protection by a boss, otherwise it would have been discovered by the male protagonist long ago.

"It's just a coincidence."

As required by the task, Ning Wan completed the first line.

Although Ning Wan said so, she knew very well that it was not a coincidence and she had rushed there on purpose.

But if she didn't have a mission, she probably wouldn't care about him.
