The noise of their conversation naturally attracted the attention of Le Yi and Xiao Jingqu.
Le Yi looked confused: "What are you talking about? What happened?"
Yu Li put down her phone, picked up the teacup and drank some water, then smiled and said, "Nothing, do you want to order some more dishes?"
"No need, this is enough." Le Yi waved her hands repeatedly, her eyes falling on Mu Chengsi's face.
Is this an illusion? I always feel that Mu Chengsi's face now looks very...desperate?
She looked at Yu Li blankly again, but she just smiled at her, as if nothing else had happened.
Yu Li glanced at Mu Chengsi's tightly clenched hands, then lowered her eyes to look at the tea leaves floating in the teacup. She slowly exhaled to blow them away, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
At this moment, heavy footsteps suddenly sounded outside the box.
Then, the waiter's respectful voice reached everyone's ears.
"Boss Bai, this is it."
Hearing this voice, Mu Chengsi's eyelashes trembled even more violently. Even if she was investigating secretly, she had never had such a close contact with Bai Jingmo in real life.
Suddenly I regretted coming here.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a girl's whisper in my ear: "You can go with Le Yi and the others later. Bai Jingmo said he wants to talk to me."
Mu Chengsi was stunned, and before she could react, the door of the box was pushed open.
When they saw the man standing at the door, Le Yi and Xiao Jingqu were surprised, "This..."
Isn’t this Bai Jingmo?
The man at the door of the box was wearing a well-cut suit, with a slender and upright figure, neatly combed hair, three-dimensional eyebrows and eyes, a high nose bridge, and a somewhat sharp aura, but at this moment he frowned slightly and did not seem to be in a good mood.
After his narrow eyes swept over the people present, the girl in the middle was reflected in the man's dark pupils. He opened his thin lips and said, "Sorry to bother you."
He turned his head to look behind him, and immediately several people walked into the box and handed them expensive paper bags with exquisite packaging.
Le Yi took the things blankly, and then she heard the other party speak in a gentle voice: "It's our first meeting. I'm honored to meet you all. I'm Yu Li's boyfriend, Bai Jingmo."
These words were clearly directed at them, but the man's gaze was always fixed on Yu Li's face, and his dark eyes seemed to be suppressing some other emotions.
He glanced at the other people and curled his lip politely: "I came in a hurry, this is a gift for you."
"Hiss..." When Xiao Jingqu caught a glimpse of the brand marked on the gift bag, she took a breath of cold air and suddenly felt like she was holding a hot potato in her hand.
Damn...this isn't cheap.
It's probably more valuable than her life.
He looked at Le Yi, and there was shock in the other person's eyes.
Are they sure they can take such an expensive gift?
Le Yi coughed and looked at Yu Li, "Yu Li... this..."
Before Yu Li could speak, Bai Jingmo spoke first: "I have something to talk to Yu Li about now. I want to talk to her alone. Can everyone please step aside for a moment?"
After these words were spoken, the box seemed to fall into a strange silence.
Le Yi and Xiao Jingqu looked at each other, not knowing how to react.
"You guys go back first."
Yu Li suddenly spoke up. She put down her teacup, stood up, and forced a smile at Le Yi and the others. "You guys take the gifts. I'll go out with him for a while."
As soon as she reached the door, Bai Jingmo grabbed her wrist.
The man said nothing and led the person out of the box.
Seeing this scene, Le Yi was a little confused. She turned to Xiao Jingqu and asked, "Are they...arguing?"
"... should be?" Xiao Jingqu said uncertainly, "Anyway, I noticed that Bai Jingmo's face didn't look very good."
It is normal for young couples to quarrel. They quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed.
They didn't take it too seriously and turned to look at Mu Chengsi who had remained silent the whole time: "Chengsi, do you want to go back to school with us now?"
Mu Chengsi touched his cold fingers and remembered that Yu Li patted his shoulder before leaving. There was a dark look in her eyes and he didn't know what she was thinking.
Hearing Le Yi asking herself, she looked up to meet their inquiring gazes and slowly said, "... Let's go back."
But when he reached the entrance of the hotel and caught a glimpse of a familiar car outside, Mu Chengsi was stunned and stopped.
Yu Li and the others... haven’t left yet?
Still in the hotel?
Le Yi was talking to Xiao Jingqu nearby when something was suddenly stuffed into her arms. She looked up blankly, only to see Mu Chengsi's hurried back.
The other party said, "I forgot something in the hotel. I'll go back to get it. I have something else to do later, so I won't be back to school. You don't have to wait for me."
Then he disappeared from their sight.
Le Yi: “?”
What's going on?
She stood there holding the bag in her hand and looked at Xiao Jingqu.
“What’s going on…?”
"have no idea."
"Do we have to wait?"
"...No, didn't she say she wouldn't go back to school? Let's go first."
"good."
The two of them left talking to each other, and at this time in the hotel, Mu Chengsi was looking for Yu Li and Bai Jingmo.
At this moment, she inexplicably felt like she was back in the copy, where she was looking for the two people in the villa, and then she came across the most frightening scene.
But fortunately, reality is not as scary as the copy.
After asking a few waiters and confirming that the person was in the rooftop garden, Mu Chengsi hurriedly took the elevator up.
But she didn't know that after watching the elevator door close, the smile on the waiter's face outside the elevator disappeared instantly. She lowered her head and pressed the communication device in her ear, and she spoke respectfully:
"Boss Bai, the person has already gone up."
—
Mu Chengsi thought he might be crazy.
Watching the elevator number jump up little by little, her impulsive mind finally calmed down.
No matter how crazy Bai Jingmo is, this is reality. It is impossible for him to kill people at will like in the copy.
But thinking of the ambiguous expression on the man's face, Mu Chengsi couldn't help but worry.
Le Yi and the others didn't know what kind of person Bai Jingmo was, and thought it was just an ordinary quarrel between a couple. However, they knew the potential dark side of each other. What if Bai Jingmo also had a seizure in real life?
With this conflicted mentality, Mu Chengsi couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
With a "ding" sound, the elevator door slowly opened.
An iron gate suddenly appeared in front of me. As long as I opened the gate, I could reach the rooftop.
Mu Chengsi walked to the door, but did not open it directly. Instead, he put his ear to the door and listened carefully to the movement inside.
But unfortunately, I couldn't hear anything.
Mu Chengsi had no choice but to give up. She put her hand on the door handle, took a deep breath, then slowly opened the door a crack and secretly looked inside.
Now, she could finally hear the voices of the people inside.
