This damn source of all evil.
Bai Xiyue was very confused.
Is there some kind of debuff in her world? It seems like she is just born out of bad luck.
Although I was a bit unlucky in the first world, it didn't seem to be that bad.
"Are you going out today too?"
"Well, I'm going to meet a friend."
Bai Xiyue nodded, remaining calm.
The reason why Yu Rongjiang appeared here was nothing more than that he went to work in H City, so he shouldn't run into her. He just had to be careful not to go to public places like restaurants where they could easily run into each other.
Bai Xiyue recalled the fear of the first mission world being dominated by a western restaurant. It was simply a place of disaster.
"Are you also going to teach vocal music?"
There was a hint of joking in Yu Rongjiang's voice, which seemed to have some deeper meaning, but also seemed to mean nothing.
This was the reason Bai Xiyue used after her first return to the archives. Although it was ridiculous, she did not allow anyone to question this reason.
Now that Yu Rongjiang brought it up, it was unclear whether he was just joking or if he already had doubts.
"No, I accept students based on my personal experience. I just meet up with my friends and have fun together."
"When will you be back?"
Yu Rongjiang remembered that her parents were still at home, so he should be able to go back tonight.
"Tonight, maybe tomorrow morning. My parents can still be there without me. Besides, it's just right if I don't go back. We don't have to sleep together."
Bai Xiyue spread her hands, her posture relaxed.
When people are lying, they can't help but tense up or make some small movements. Sometimes the more they try not to do these movements, the more obvious they become. Bai Xiyue has gained experience in lying, so she's not afraid of it at all.
Yu Rongjiang raised his eyebrows without comment. He originally wanted to work overtime and not go home tonight.
"Well, be safe."
Yu Rongjiang didn't force it, and Bai Xiyue nodded, indicating that she understood.
Forty minutes later, the plane arrived at the airport in H City. Bai Xiyue arrived at the terminal and walked towards the exit.
"Where are you going? Do you need a ride?"
"No, my friend will come to pick me up, you can go back to work."
Bai Xiyue shook her head and said goodbye.
After making sure that Yu Rongjiang had left, Bai Xiyue waited for the taxi to tell him a place name.
She went to a Starbucks and sent a message to Huo Xinghan when she arrived.
The system told her that Huo Xinghan was still on his way to H City.
Why bother?
[Bai Xiyue]: Tongzi, check Huo Xinghan to see if he has any house or something in H City.
Bai Xiyue was inclined to believe that there must be something of Huo Xinghan's here, otherwise Huo Xinghan would have no need to come here specially to meet her.
【System】: OK, checking.
[System]: I have found it and the information has been sent to you.
Bai Xiyue took a look and her heart sank.
She knew it was true.
She only knew where Huo Xinghan was from, but she didn't know that Huo Xinghan was so familiar with H City.
Huo Xinghan went to university in H City, which was also the starting point of his career. He also owns property here. For him, this should be a relatively familiar place.
People are always more confident about places they are familiar with. Bai Xiyue has walked into a trap. No wonder Huo Xinghan came here.
Bai Xiyue went to a single table and got the cold drink she had just ordered. She sat down and let the system integrate the birthplaces and habitual places of several other mission targets. She secretly remembered in her heart that she couldn't go to those places, otherwise it might cause trouble.
Bai Xiyue waited for a long time before Huo Xinghan replied, saying that he still had some things to deal with and would meet her as soon as he finished.
Bai Xiyue thought Huo Xinghan should have just got off the plane, so she sighed and felt a little worried.
Half an hour later, Huo Xinghan arrived at the door of Starbucks. His hair was a little wet and it was obvious that he was in a hurry.
"Xiyue."
Huo Xinghan spotted her at a glance and walked towards her.
Huo Xinghan was wearing a plaid shirt with her long hair tied behind her head. Her eyes and brows were wet with sweat, but they had a warm feel.
Huo Xinghan has long hair, but it doesn't look feminine.
His facial features are not very delicate when taken separately, but when put together they are very pleasing to the eye.
Huo Xinghan is a traditional Chinese painter, and he has also made some achievements in calligraphy. Perhaps because he has been stained by the scent of ink, he looks pure and untainted by this world.
This is different from Cheng Xingyi's kind of flower on the mountain top. Cheng Xingyi is cold and aloof, while Huo Xinghan is gentle and elegant like a gentleman.
"Have you been waiting long?"
Huo Xinghan's attitude was familiar and natural, and he didn't look like he was here to break up at all.
"Okay, what do you want to tell me?"
Bai Xiyue adhered to the idea of a quick victory and came straight to the point without any hesitation.
"You seem anxious."
Even after breaking up, Huo Xinghan was still so calm and composed.
"I'm not in a hurry, but I like to get things done quickly."
"Am I just one thing to you?"
There was a hint of self-mockery in Huo Xinghan's eyes, but he still spoke in a soft voice.
Yes, even if you have stunning beauty!
"I want to know the reason."
"There's no reason. If you don't have feelings for me anymore and don't like me anymore, then we can just break up."
Huo Xinghan's attitude was so gentle that he didn't show any aggressiveness even when asking questions, so Bai Xiyue couldn't put on any attitude and just narrated calmly.
"If you don't have feelings anymore, you can cultivate them again. If you don't like it anymore, you can like it again..."
Huo Xinghan moved closer to Bai Xiyue and looked into her eyes.
Huo Xinghan didn't believe that feelings could disappear or be wiped out.
He felt that he should not have done anything to disgust Bai Xiyue, and they had not been in love for long, so even if they were tired of each other, it should have a shelf life.
He likes her very much.
The sunlight shone in from the window, casting a light golden hue on half of Bai Xiyue's face. She looked like a sweet and soft orange, which made Huo Xinghan want to take a bite.
He looked into those eyes, and he was reflected in them.
"I don't think so."
Bai Xiyue stepped back, increasing the distance between them.
In fact, breaking up is a matter for both parties, but severing ties can be done by one party.
Otherwise, why would there be so many heartbreaks and dumpings? Don’t they all just break up peacefully?
This is also a particularly troublesome thing.
If this wasn't a mission, if these people weren't potentially yandere, if she wasn't using this identity to date multiple people, then she would be happy to have a relationship with these people.
Unfortunately, there is no if, this is the fact.
"If you must say goodbye to me, then before that, I hope you can fulfill one of my wishes."
"What?"
"Let me paint a picture for you, and when I'm done, you can leave if you want."
Huo Xinghan's eyes were dim and unclear, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Bai Xiyue's heart was filled with alarm.
“Where to paint?”
"My studio."
Bai Xiyue was a little hesitant. If Huo Xinghan was a yandere, then this would definitely be a one-way trip.
"What if I..."
[System]: Host, please be aware that target number three is approaching, still twenty meters away.
???
what the **?
Talk about it?
"My studio is not far from here, and it doesn't take long to paint a picture," Huo Xinghan said softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing something. "Even so, you're not willing to agree?"
The sunlight fell on Huo Xinghan's slender fingers, like a butterfly flapping its wings about to fly.
【System】: Fifteen meters to go.
Ahhhhhhhhh!
Bai Xiyue tried hard to keep herself steady, but her fingers unconsciously tightened the clothes on her sides.
【System】: Ten meters.
[System]: Please note, host, target number four is still twenty meters away, please respond as soon as possible.
?????
This Starbucks is not big, can you please leave this place alone?
After Western restaurants, is Starbucks also going to fall?
"Xiyue?"
Huo Xinghan was still waiting for her answer.
Oh, what shall I do?
Save the children!
If I go out now, I will definitely run into Tan Yi.
But why is Cheng Xingyi here? Wasn’t he in S City yesterday?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Bai Xiyue's mind was in a mess.
Now one, three and four have all come, but it doesn’t matter. The source of all evil is gone, so there should still be hope for salvation.
The voice from the system in her mind seemed to wipe out her last bit of hope.
[System]: Yu Rongjiang is still 20 meters away from here, but he came by car and is not sure whether the destination is here.
[System]: Target number three, seven meters.
[System]: Target number four is twelve meters.
Who did I kill? Who killed me?
"I'm going to the bathroom first."
Bai Xiyue stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
Huo Xinghan looked at her back and touched the cup she placed on the table.
The ice had already melted into water, leaving a water mark on the glass table.
Tan Yi pushed open the door. The summer heat and stickiness made him feel a little uncomfortable, but the cool air blowing in his face made him feel much more comfortable.
He had a guitar on his back, looking trendy and cool.
After placing the order, his eyes stopped in one direction inside the store.
He had seen many men with long hair, but this was the first time he had seen one so handsome.
After meeting that person's eyes, Tan Yi smiled and continued to wait at the bar.
Cheng Xingyi walked past the traffic light and pushed open the door of Starbucks. He had an appointment to meet someone there.
He had some changes in his job recently, so he looked at the information of several universities and decided on one. Coincidentally, an old classmate was also here.
Yu Rongjiang's car stopped on the side of the road. He sat in the car, looking a little tired.
The meeting was supposed to last 20 minutes, but because the other party wanted more profit, we ended up discussing it for 40 minutes before we came to a contract that both parties could accept.
The secretary got out of the car to buy him coffee, and Yu Rongjiang pressed his forehead, waiting for him to come back.
Bai Xiyue was now facing the wall in front of the toilet door.
It wasn't that she didn't want to go in, but she found that there was already someone inside.
This Starbucks is not particularly large and has a bathroom at the back.
But now there's someone in this bathroom!
There are people!
Her safe haven!!!
At this moment, everyone has gathered outside.
How could she dare to stick her head out? If she did, she would be beaten like a Muggle.
Fortunately, it was Yu Rongjiang's secretary who came over, not him personally, so the pressure would be a little less, but not much less!
If the secretary calls out "Madam", oh no, it's over.
Bai Xiyue could only hope that this group of people would buy drinks and leave quickly, or that the guy in the toilet inside could be quicker.
"Um, are you okay?"
Bai Xiyue knocked on the door and asked quietly.
"Sorry, sister, I have a stomachache."
A rough voice came from inside, abruptly extinguishing Bai Xiyue's hope.
