Chapter 77 Come to me now
Actually, it’s no wonder that Yang Cici was suspicious.
Because Li Xuanmeng had always called her by her full name before and had never called her 'Ci Ci'.
She sat up slowly and instead of answering directly, asked the other person a question.
Where did you hear that?
This time there was no reply from the other side.
I don't know if he was thinking about how to answer this question or if he was shrinking back and didn't dare to speak.
Or maybe both.
Seeing the girl's question, Pei Yanchuan put down his phone. He clenched his trembling fingertips, closed his eyes, lowered his head, and his face turned pale.
In fact, he knew that the woman didn't dare to lie, so this matter was most likely true.
So he didn't dare to ask any further. If he really heard that answer, he might not be able to bear it anymore.
But why? Didn’t he prove it to Cici?
Did she still not believe it? Or did she really not forgive herself?
His heart felt like it had been torn open. Pei Yanchuan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze empty and absent-minded, his entire face buried in the shadows, as if he had lost his soul.
After a moment, he slowly lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the ground without focus.
I really want to meet Cici...
I really want to see Cici...
His heart was trembling and tightening, and Pei Yanchuan anxiously pinched his fingertips and rubbed them back and forth. Only this kind of pain could barely awaken his sanity.
But it still doesn't work.
He still couldn't calm down.
Pei Yanchuan picked up the medicine bottle again with trembling fingertips, but at this moment, the screen of the mobile phone on the table suddenly lit up.
A message popped up.
Yang Cici: [It's not a blind date.]
In an instant, his heart, which had been hanging high in the air, slowly fell to the ground. Pei Yanchuan was stunned and almost forgot to breathe.
The muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched with excitement. After a moment's silence, he slowly forced out a very subtle smile, as if he was learning to smile for the first time, stiff and unfamiliar.
It’s fake…
Too good to be true...
Before we could be happy for long, another piece of news popped up.
Yang Cici: [Where did you move to? You helped me so much before, I haven't had time to thank you yet (=^▽^=)]
Pei Yanchuan was stunned and subconsciously wanted to take it back.
But the other party seemed to have predicted his answer in advance and continued to send.
Yang Cici: [By the way, could you please send me a copy of the travel guide I sent you last time? I lost mine, but a colleague wants it now.]
Pei Yanchuan's fingertips curled slightly, and the emotion in his eyes was unclear.
After a moment, he stood up in silence.
In the basement, Li Xuanmeng leaned against the wall with an indifferent look on her face, rubbing her wrists that were hurt from being tied.
I don’t know if it was because Pei Yanchuan felt that she couldn’t escape, or because he finally had a change of heart, but at least he didn’t tie her up.
This basement is not very big, only about ten square meters, and there are a lot of miscellaneous items, but there is not much dust. It must be cleaned by someone at a fixed time.
Li Xuanmeng sighed, it was so hard to hold on, how long would it take to fix this plot?
Suddenly there was a sound of unlocking at the door.
"Mr. Pei."
"Yeah." The man responded lightly.
Li Xuanmeng became alert instantly.
No way? That fast?
Look around, and if things really don't work out, you can fight to the death.
Since they were all going to die, Pei Yanchuan couldn't escape.
But before she could find a suitable tool to protect herself, the man walked in.
Li Xuanmeng pressed her back against the wall, looking nervous. Her eyes subconsciously fell on Pei Yanchuan's hand, wanting to see if there was a knife.
But then, a chat interface suddenly appeared in his face.
A man's voice sounded faintly above his head.
"What is this document that Cici is talking about?"
Li Xuanmeng:?
ha?
Twenty minutes later, Yang Cici received the document sent by the other party.
And there was a message attached: [The moving place is quite far, you don’t need to come. ]
She hissed softly, the sense of disharmony growing stronger, "...something's not right."
The person opposite is definitely not Li Xuanmeng.
An incredible name came to mind.
...Pei Yanchuan?
Yang Cici's pupils were slightly startled, and she pursed her lips and clenched her phone.
If this is true, the previous question does sound like something Pei Yanchuan would ask.
After all, the attacker wouldn't pay attention to her emotional issues. Even when she deliberately mentioned going on a date, the other party didn't care too much.
Things seem to be getting a little out of control. What did Pei Yanchuan do to Li Xuanmeng?
Hadn't her yandere value reached the critical point of failure? She hadn't even begun to add fuel to the fire.
Yang Cici sensed something was wrong.
This unexpected event, which was not a mission failure, made her very worried about what the attacker would do to this world.
Isn't it because she's afraid of this kind of accident that she's deliberately not getting back together?
But now that the yandere value has increased, such accidents may also happen.
Yang Cici frowned and rubbed her hair, then stood up and walked into the living room. "Is it not possible to just increase the yandere value?"
There will always be accidents.
If they get back together, Li Xuanmeng will realize that there is something wrong with her. If they don't get back together, Pei Yanchuan will deal with the attacker himself.
Was it because of what he said about the perfume that Pei Yanchuan targeted Li Xuanmeng?
Yang Cici lowered her eyes, sat on the sofa in silence for a while, picked up her cell phone and made a call.
A few seconds later, the man's surprised and somewhat hoarse voice sounded on the other end of the phone.
"Ci Ci?"
Then, the familiar system voice sounded in my ears.
[Host, it seems that Yang Cici called Pei Yanchuan. You should be safe for the time being.]
[How do you know I'm safe? I feel like my death has only been postponed.]
[Don't worry, as long as Pei Yanchuan keeps chatting with Yang Cici, he probably won't remember to kill you.]
Yang Cici: “…”
Why does the word 'kill' appear?
It was fine during the day, but what happened in just half a day?
Just as I was thinking about it, the man's tentative voice sounded again on the other end of the phone: "Ci Ci? Why are you calling me suddenly?"
She came to her senses and was about to speak when the system's voice rang again.
[Host, we've received the latest reply. The plot will be adjusted soon. As long as you can hold on past midnight tonight, we still have hope.]
Upon hearing this, Yang Cici was stunned and stood there holding her phone.
Plot...adjustment?
What does this mean?
This had never happened in any of the novels she had read.
Failure is failure, why would there be plot adjustments?
Yang Cici's eyes flickered, she clutched the pillow in her hand, and whispered, "Pei Yanchuan, where are you?"
The other party didn't speak. After a moment's silence, he said in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong?"
Yang Cici stared at the toys on the table and slowly said, "Can you come find me now?"
"Now?" Pei Yanchuan hesitated for the first time.
Yang Cici felt a sore nose, closed her eyes, and couldn't help burying her face in the pillow. She hummed softly, her voice trembling.
"Come to me now."
