Ye Zhi didn't know why, but ever since Yang Chenze said "see you tonight," her mood had been strange all day. It was like anticipation, like fear. Was he anticipating her mind-reading ability? Ye Zhi comforted herself, how could this feeling be like seeing an old friend? How could it be?

Even free shopping and delicious food can hardly distract her anymore.

Now, her heart finally settled. Ye Zhi stared at Yang Chenze's carefree face on the screen, speechless for a long time.

This face was unfamiliar; she had never seen it before. Yet, the person's aura seemed vaguely familiar. She hadn't felt this way when observing him in her mental domain that afternoon, so why now…?

Yang Chenze waited for a long time outside the villa's barbed wire fence but received no response from Ye Zhi. He leaned closer to the surveillance camera, trying to check if the doorbell was broken.

"I'm so stupid. With the power and internet out, the doorbell definitely won't work either."

Yang Chenze took a few steps back, gathered his energy in his dantian, and cupped his hands to his mouth. Just as he took a breath and was about to shout, Ye Jingyu's voice came out, "Is there something you need?"

Upon hearing this sudden sound, Yang Chenze choked on his own saliva, coughing.

His expression suddenly changed rapidly. He glanced at his surroundings without making a sound, his expression shifting from cynicism to confusion, and then to suppressed joy. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag.

What's he doing here? That's Ye Jingyu's voice!

His handsome face was partially obscured by the smoke, and this time his voice, though slightly husky, was restrained. "I can't come to see you unless there's something wrong."

"Them?"
