Bai Qianmo and Qin Jingwen took the elevator up together. Gu Jueye was called away by Jiang Nanyan, who said there was some urgent business to attend to.

The temperature in the hotel was very high. She wore a white turtleneck sweater today and played games in the room for a while. She didn't do anything but sweat a lot.

I put down my phone, went to the bathroom, took a shower, changed into a bathrobe, and felt much better.

He dried his wet hair with a towel until it was half dry, then casually hung the towel on the shelf and walked out of the bathroom.

The phone on the bed rang a few times.

Bai Qianmo walked to the bedside, picked up her phone, and opened WeChat.

It was a message from Jayne.

I am Brother Ye's Sweetheart: "Brother Ye, Huo Xiuxiu is said to have gone to China. She is probably here to discuss cooperation with Wansheng Group and also to see her future fiancé. However, these are just her public schedules. As for what she is planning to do in secret, we don't know. In short, be careful, this scorpion's claws are very sharp."

Fairy: "Understood."

A funny emoji came from the other end.

I am Ye Ge's Little Sweetie: "What's with this 'little fairy' nickname for you? In my heart, you've always been a woman of steel."

Bai Qianmo gathered her long hair and pondered for a moment: "From today onwards, I am no longer in your heart."

I'm Ye Ge's sweetheart, and I've sent you a hammer.

I'm Ye Ge's sweetheart, and I've just received a critical hit.

I am Ye Ge's sweetheart: "Let me sing a sad song about the Pacific Ocean."

Bai Qianmo slowly typed a line in the chat box: "Anything else?"

I am Ye Ge's Sweetheart: "Ye Ge, there is indeed something. Recently, a mysterious organization has suddenly appeared. You might be interested in it."

Fairy: "?"

I'm Ye Ge's Sweetheart: "Could you give me one more word?"

Fairy: "??"

When Jayne saw the two question marks in the chat, his lips twitched.

I asked you to say one more word, and you give me two question marks?

I'm Ye Ge's Sweetheart: "Ye Ge, I'm really curious, with your reserved personality, how do you manage to date? Doesn't your boyfriend feel awkward? I feel awkward for him."

Bai Qianmo took a sip of water, her mind flashing back to every moment she spent with Gu Jueye.

Neither of them are particularly talkative. When they are together, they chat occasionally, in a very natural way. When they talk about something, a book, or their views on an academic point of view, they often find common ground.

This kind of compatibility is rare, but most of the time, when he is at home, he is often busy in his study, and she is also busy with her own things. Although they are in the same space, they are able to focus on themselves and not disturb each other.

Seeing that Bai Qianmo hadn't replied, Jayne sent over a dozen ingratiating emojis.

Bai Qianmo ignored him and exited the page. Knowing that he would continue to harass her if she didn't get a response, she simply logged out of WeChat.

She knows Jayne well; he always starts with a lot of rambling before getting to the point.

He claimed that he didn't miss any opportunity to practice his Chinese.

Once he's finished speaking, he'll leave a message with the key points. When I wake up tomorrow, the latest news I see should be about what Jayne mentioned today.

I got up and walked to the French windows, gazing at the dimly lit night.

Gu Jueye's room was a luxury suite on the top floor. The living room and bedroom were separated. A floor-to-ceiling window overlooked the ancient pagoda on the mountaintop, which was lit by dim candlelight. Further on, there was a dark lake, surrounded by dim lights. In the shadows, a mountain path leading up the cliff could be seen.

Looking closer, you can see the hot spring pool area, a quaint southern garden with colorful night lights that shine like a galaxy in the quiet night.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Bai Qianmo thought it was Gu Jueye who had returned, so she went to open the door.

Upon opening the door, a disheveled woman stood in the doorway.

Bai Qianmo was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained her composure.

Is it fun to dress up as a ghost and scare people late at night?

Qin Jingwen brushed a strand of hair away from her cheek, a look of surprise on her face: "You actually knew it was me?"

Bai Qianmo glanced at Qin Jingwen indifferently: "Your nails gave it away."

Qin Jingwen looked at her pink nail polish and shrugged somewhat boredly.

"Why aren't you asleep so late?" Bai Qianmo asked casually.

Qin Jingwen followed Bai Qianmo into the room, glanced around, and asked, "My cousin isn't here, is he?"

"kindness."

“That’s great, Qianmo. I want to sleep with you tonight. I overheard the cleaning lady in the hallway saying that there are many lonely graves on the hillside nearby, and that some people say that the nearby villages have been haunted. I suddenly feel that the room is a bit big, and I’m scared to be alone.”

Bai Qianmo frowned, thinking of the assassination attempt Qin Jingwen had suffered recently. The girl was timid to begin with, and that incident must have left her with considerable trauma.

"Then let's sleep here." I'll call Gu Jueye later, and when he gets back, we can go sleep next door.

Qin Jingwen immediately beamed with joy: "Great! I knew you were the easiest to talk to. I'm going to take a shower now. Oh, by the way, I ordered barbecue. I gave you your room number. Just listen for the doorbell later."

"We just had dinner, and you're hungry again?"

Qin Jingwen walked to the bathroom door, turned around and smiled at Bai Qianmo.

"We didn't order much, so we can eat and chat later."

Bai Qianmo didn't say anything more.

Qin Jingwen went to the bathroom and picked up her phone to call Gu Jueye.

The doorbell rang again just in time. Thinking it must be the barbecue Qin Jingwen had ordered, I went to the door and opened it.

As it turned out, there was no one outside the door.

Recalling her previous encounter, alarm bells rang in her mind. Bai Qianmo squinted as she walked out of the room. The long corridor was unusually quiet, and she did not find any suspicious figures.

Her gaze suddenly fell on a light blue card on the ground, and she crouched down to slowly pick it up.

The front of the blue card features a strange pattern drawn with black lines, somewhat resembling a flower, but more like a spiral-shaped cosmic design. Upon opening the card, a handwritten English text is revealed.

"tentimebureau"

"Time Bureau"
