Chapter 68 The strategist who reads my mind, die! All of you die!!!
Yun Yang froze for a moment.
A moment later, my heart was pounding wildly in my chest.
novel.
These two words confirmed all the speculations and doubts.
Fu Xiaoting really is a time traveler!
He still held her in his arms, pressing her against the cold glass of the phone booth.
Those deep eyes stared at her intently in the sparse moonlight.
His eyes held tension, uncertainty, and an almost desperate expectation.
He seemed to be waiting.
Waiting for her reply.
Yun Yang's lips moved, but she couldn't utter a single word.
Do you admit it?
Tell him, "Me too?"
Her mind was a jumbled mess, but no matter what, her intuition told her she couldn't act impulsively.
Just as she was struggling with her inner turmoil, a series of chaotic footsteps, accompanied by the flickering beam of a flashlight, approached from afar.
The assassin is on their way!
Yun Yang's heart jumped into her throat again.
The beam of light drew closer and closer, now clearly illuminating the small corner where they were hiding.
A figure in black appeared on the side of the phone booth.
It's over.
Yun Yang instinctively gripped Fu Xiaoting's arm tightly.
The man in black held up a flashlight, and the beam shone directly into Fu Xiaoting's back.
He stopped in his tracks.
Yunyang's heart stopped beating.
However, the expected shouts and attacks did not come.
The man in black clicked his tongue, then turned and left.
As he walked, he kept yelling at his companions behind him in an annoyed tone.
"What are you looking at!"
"You little brat, don't look around like that, you'll get a sty!"
"..."
Yun Yang slowly opened her eyes, her face full of question marks.
Is he really gone?
Just then, the system's voice rang out in her mind without warning.
Today's assassination attempt was orchestrated by Fu Xiaoting himself; there is no longer any danger.
Yun Yang: "..."
I have to thank you, Tongzi, your information is really outdated.
Before Yun Yang could even process the news, an even more chilling thought rang out clearly once again.
【Cloudy.】
You can hear me, right?
It is a question.
Yet it carried an undeniable certainty.
Yun Yang felt the hairs on her body stand on end.
Did he discover her mind-reading ability?
Xiaoting, who only thinks about eating all day long.
They discovered it a long time ago!
And she was completely unaware.
Yunyang's brain was working at lightning speed.
what to do?
What should we do? What should we do?
When fellow villagers meet, their eyes well up with tears.
Wouldn't that mean their secrets would be exposed to the system?
Xiaoting, I know you're a good person.
Promise me you'll protect your online persona, okay?
She took a deep breath, raised her head, and instantly plastered an incredibly bright fake smile on her face.
"gentlemen!"
"You're really amazing!"
As she spoke, she broke free from Fu Xiaoting's embrace and exaggeratedly patted her chest.
"I thought we were doomed!"
"I can't believe those assassins really left!"
With her innocent, big eyes blinking, she perfectly portrayed the image of a naive and sweet admirer.
Fu Xiaoting just watched her quietly.
The expectation on his face faded away little by little, at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Instead, I felt a strange sense of stuffiness.
He didn't even know what he was angry about.
The man slowly turned around and walked towards the villa without saying a word.
His steps were quick, as if he was venting something.
Yunyang followed behind him, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
She knew he was angry.
But what could she do?
Let's wait a bit longer, until she sorts things out.
Ask him again if odd changes and even remains the same...
Yun Yang sighed silently in her heart.
Just then, Fu Xiaoting, who was walking in front, suddenly staggered.
He suddenly bent over and braced himself against a large tree next to him.
A painful and repressed voice came through.
【hiss……】
Damn... the wound seems to have reopened...
Wound?
Yun Yang's heart skipped a beat.
The chrysanthemums have burst open!!!
She quickly stepped forward and reached out to help him.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
"Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Fu Xiaoting grabbed her hand and pulled it away, stubbornly refusing to let her touch it.
Then, he continued walking forward in an extremely comical manner.
One leg seemed to be weak, so he could only drag himself along.
To maintain balance, the other leg takes particularly large strides.
He was limping and swaying from side to side.
From a distance, it looks like a penguin that's drunk but insists on walking in a straight line.
Yun Yang followed behind him, looking at his comical yet stubborn appearance, feeling both annoyed and amused.
Just like a primary school student throwing a tantrum.
That's so naive.
She was complaining when the penguin suddenly stopped.
Yun Yang couldn't stop in time and almost bumped into his back.
Fu Xiaoting slowly turned around.
Under the moonlight, his expression was not very clear, but Yun Yang could feel that the oppressive atmosphere seemed to have dissipated somewhat.
He didn't say anything, but silently reached out and took her wrist.
His hands were large and warm.
The moment he grasped her hand, Yun Yang's heart inexplicably trembled.
The two walked side by side without saying a word.
The atmosphere was a bit strange.
But compared to the awkwardness of him sulking alone in front of everyone earlier, things seem much better now...
Inside the villa.
The hall was brightly lit, and the polished floor reflected people's shadows.
A faint scent of air freshener lingered in the air.
There wasn't a trace of the fight that had taken place.
It was as if the thrilling chase they had just experienced was just an illusion.
Fu Xiaoting released her hand and walked straight towards his room.
Yunyang stood there, watching his back until the door clicked shut.
...
Inside the room.
Fu Xiaoting leaned against the door and took out his black notebook.
I skillfully turned to the last page.
Several large characters were written on it in a bold, flowing black pen.
Those who claim to understand my heart, die! All of you, die!!!
Upon seeing these words, Fu Xiaoting—no, it should be said that Li Yuan—had a complex expression in his eyes.
His thoughts were suddenly drawn back to the day he went to Tsinghua University to report.
He was the first student in the Li family to be admitted to Tsinghua University.
On the first day of school, one of his parents went to discuss a small project, and the other went to Europe to see a fashion show; neither of them had time to see him off.
Finally, they sent a new secretary from the company to take him to school.
He's been raised like this since he was a child, and he's used to it.
The car drove smoothly on the overpass.
He was looking down at his phone.
What's playing on the screen is a silly short drama adapted from the novel he's currently in.
The plot just happened to reach the point where the male lead, Fu Xiaoting, wanted to show off his domineering nature by throwing money at the poor from a high platform.
He glanced at it twice, and his lips twitched.
[Seriously, is this male lead an idiot? How many people would die if he just threw two boxes of money down the drain?]
What a terrible plot! It needs moral values and even basic human sensibilities!
[Ha, I hope the screenwriter gets paid off down there...]
【I'm a country bumpkin, I love watching】replied to 【亭亭玉厉 (Shangqing University Edition)】: Dude, don't rush, the highlight of the white lotus heroine is coming soon—'Don't treat them like that, they're so pitiful~'
【亭亭玉厉 (Shangqing University Edition)】: Is there something wrong with you? (with Yang Mi's emoji)
He was furiously typing away in the comments section, passionately sharing his thoughts.
The secretary driving the car suddenly spoke up out of the blue.
"Young master, Tsinghua University is also my alma mater. Do you know how many points I scored on the college entrance examination?"
Li Yuan's attention was entirely on his phone; he didn't even look up and just gave a casual reply.
How many points?
The secretary's voice carried a hint of coldness that was barely perceptible.
“I’m a student from Hebei Province, and I have 10 more points than you.”
Li Yuan's typing fingers stopped abruptly.
He suddenly looked up, put down his phone, and stared at his secretary in shock.
"My god, he's a top student!"
"Then tell me quickly, is the food at our school good? Which cafeteria has the best food?"
The secretary tightened her grip on the steering wheel, her eyes fixed on the road ahead, her tone flat.
"The steamed buns are delicious."
"I ate steamed buns for four years."
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.
"Huh? What's so good about steamed buns?"
He was just about to ask if the school cafeteria's steamed buns had some kind of secret recipe.
Then I noticed that the secretary's voice had a noticeable sob in it.
Only then did Li Yuan realize that something was wrong.
He carefully examined the senior secretary.
He has delicate features, wears black-rimmed glasses, and looks very refined.
But his face was dark and gloomy.
Although his suit was clean, it was clearly not a good fit.
Li Yuan only learned about it through the secretary's intermittent narration.
This senior's mother fell seriously ill when he was in college.
He used all his scholarship money and part-time wages to pay for his mother's medical treatment.
Therefore, he lived a very frugal life during his four years of university.
Daily living expenses were squeezed to the extreme.
Li Yuan felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.
He thought for a moment, then asked cautiously.
"Senior, do you still need help now?"
The air fell silent instantly.
The atmosphere in the carriage became somewhat oppressive.
After a long while, the secretary finally spoke in a hoarse voice.
"No."
"My mother has passed away."
Li Yuan's heart sank, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say a few words of comfort, but felt that any words would seem so pale and powerless at this moment.
Just then, the secretary suddenly turned her head and stared at him intently.
Behind those glasses, his eyes were bloodshot, and his gaze held a complex mix of emotions that Li Yuan couldn't decipher.
"I scored ten points higher than you."
"Do I need your help?"
His voice suddenly rose, carrying a sharp, wounded resentment.
"I scored ten points higher than you, and now I'm supposed to be your driver?"
The secretary became increasingly agitated, her hands gripping the steering wheel, veins bulging.
Li Yuan was startled by him. Seeing that his expression was off, he quickly tried to persuade him.
"You have a decent-paying job now, and things will gradually get better."
His parents are not unscrupulous capitalists; the wages they pay their employees are definitely not low.
Who knew, it would have been better if he hadn't said anything.
Upon hearing this, the secretary completely broke down.
There will be no more!
The secretary practically screamed, tears streaming down her face.
"I owe too much money, online loans, loan sharks... I'll never be able to pay it all back!"
Li Yuan panicked completely: "Don't get agitated, we can talk things over. Now that you're in my company, we can help you with any difficulties..."
He tried to calm his secretary down, but before he could finish speaking...
There was a loud "boom"!
The secretary slammed the gas pedal to the floor!
The car roared wildly like a mad beast, crashing out of control and smashing through the guardrail of the overpass!
It flew out!
