Ji Lun smiled bitterly, "Jingjing, don't worry about that. As long as it's something you want, I'll do everything I can to help you achieve it!"
After saying that, Ji Lun looked at her with deep affection, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said softly, "There's another reason I chose to come today. Happy birthday, Jingjing!"
Tian Jingjing was completely stunned. Today was her birthday, but everyone around her had completely forgotten about it, except for Ji Lun, who actually remembered.
Ji Lun sighed, "My boss only approved one day of leave. Seeing you makes me feel relieved. Jingjing, I'm going back now! Come inside!"
The man's eyes were full of longing and reluctance. He opened his mouth slightly, as if he had something to say, but in the end he just waved his hand gently, turned around and slowly left.
Since then, the two have been in frequent contact. Ji Lun has given everything to Tian Jingjing; he is very generous and gives her most of his salary.
Tian Jingjing looked at the ever-increasing number on her bank card, then glanced at the look of disgust on her parents' faces, and felt a mix of emotions.
She bit her lower lip tightly, as if she had made up her mind, and finally decided to go to Guangcheng to find Ji Lun.
Her thinking was simple: studying for the exam was the same no matter where she was studying, so instead of staying at home and having to put up with her parents' attitudes, she might as well go find the man who was so good to her.
Moreover, after staying at home for so long, she felt that there were more opportunities in big cities. Even if she didn't pass the civil service exam in the future, she could still meet more people.
However, after living in Guangcheng for a while, Tian Jingjing discovered that the cost of living in Guangcheng was higher than she had imagined.
Ji Lun's monthly salary was barely enough to cover their daily expenses. Just an occasional meal out or a few trips would quickly deplete their money.
Having experienced the harsh realities of life, Tian Jingjing reaffirmed her belief that she could not live a life of poverty and hardship; she was determined to find a wealthy man to spend her life with.
As for Ji Lun, she felt that she could make do with him for now until she found a target. After all, that silly man was both obedient and willing to give her his savings.
"You two can leave the room now!" A mechanical and monotonous baby voice suddenly rang out, instantly pulling Tian Jingjing back from her chaotic memories.
After everyone reunited, they continued forward. After overcoming several thrilling and dangerous challenges, they finally escaped the haunted house.
The light streaming through the cave entrance was a bit dazzling, and Tian Jingjing subconsciously raised her hand to shield her eyes. Her gaze inadvertently swept forward, only to be surprised to find that Qiu Mang and Lu Yanting were walking at the very front.
In an instant, Tian Jingjing felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her mind going blank with a "buzz".
etc!
The person next to Qiu Mang is Lu Yanting, so who is standing next to her right now?
She turned her head in a panic to look at the man beside her. He was about the same height as Lu Yanting, but his appearance was extremely ordinary. He would probably be lost in a crowd in an instant, with no distinguishing features whatsoever.
Tian Jingjing felt her heart suddenly race, and a strong sense of regret and embarrassment welled up inside her.
Oh my god! I actually... mistook someone else for someone else!
She then looked at Ji Lun, who was walking behind Lu Yanting. Although she often complained that Ji Lun didn't earn enough money, he was still quite outstanding in terms of appearance.
In comparison, the man beside her was far inferior. Thinking of this, Tian Jingjing felt as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly.
She shook her head violently, trying to calm herself down.
Fortunately, the room was dark just now, and no one knew what had happened between her and this man. Even if the man exposed her, as long as she denied it, no one could do anything to her.
Thinking this, she quickly shook off the hand she was holding from the man.
Fortunately, the man didn't dwell on it too much; he simply put his hands back in his pockets, and Tian Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief.
"Congratulations everyone on successfully completing the challenge! We have a photo booth here, and your photos have already been developed. You can come over here to pick them up!"
A staff member in a blue uniform walked over quickly, smiling, and pointed to a table full of photos not far away, speaking enthusiastically.
"So there was this surprise. I'd like to see how the photos turned out." Lu Yanting's lips curled up slightly as he walked towards the table.
The staff member sitting behind the table lit up the moment he saw Lu Yanting.
He deftly rummaged through a pile of photos and quickly found a picture of Lu Yanting and Qiu Mang together, then handed it over.
Lu Yanting took the photo, his smile widening. In the photo, Qiu Mang had a "strange" hand on her shoulder. She stared wide-eyed in terror, her mouth agape, screaming. Meanwhile, Lu Yanting looked tense, raising his hand to frantically drive the hand away. All the emotions were captured in that small frame, lifelike.
"Old Lu, what are you laughing at? Is the photo particularly interesting?" Ji Lun walked over slowly, his hands casually in his pockets.
His gaze swept over the photo in Lu Yanting's hand, and he couldn't help but chuckle. "So there really are NPCs. Looks like Han Bing and I were lucky and didn't run into any."
Han Bing had already gotten her photo first. There were two copies of the photo, and she casually handed one to Ji Lun, saying, "Here you go!"
Ji Lun took the photo and looked at himself and Han Bing in it. There was someone between them. Both of them were sitting upright, and the word "unfamiliar" seemed to be overflowing from their faces.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Tian Jingjing walking out of the cave entrance and couldn't help but look surprised: "Jingjing, so you were in there! Why didn't you answer when I called you?"
Tian Jingjing suddenly felt her face burning. She awkwardly distanced herself from the tall man beside her and stammered, "The sound effects inside were too loud, I... I didn't hear it."
"Oh." Ji Lun nodded slightly, then frowned as if remembering something, and said with self-reproach, "Jingjing, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well this time."
Already feeling guilty, Tian Jingjing panicked even more upon hearing this, and hurriedly waved her hands, saying, "No...it's nothing!"
"By the way, did you take pictures when you were doing the challenges? Let me help you find them!" Ji Lun said, turning to walk towards the table.
Tian Jingjing's heart tightened suddenly. Before she could even utter a word of protest, the staff member smiled and handed her photo to Ji Lun, "Here, all the photos of your group are here!"
Ji Lun took the photo and glanced at it. His expression instantly darkened, and he exuded a low-pressure aura.
Tian Jingjing saw this and her heart clenched. The scene of her taking a picture with that tall man flashed through her mind.
If I remember correctly, I was sitting on that man's lap when the photo was taken.
