Chapter 143 "What's the injury? Wen Duo, you didn't catch him, did you?"
The sky outside the window was still gloomy, but the clock on the wall had already pointed to four o'clock.
Jiang Zuiyue was still chatting with Wen Duo, while two big laborers were working hard to carry the heads.
Suddenly, Wen Duo heard a voice beside her:
"This game is over, I don't want to play anymore."
Wen Duo: “?”
Wen Duo turned around, looked at the man who was playing the game seriously, and asked:
"Why?"
Jiang Zuiyue also heard it and echoed:
"That's right, it's fun, why?"
Ji Huaishen noticed Wen Duo's gaze and turned to look at her.
"Cook for you." He said concisely.
"Wow~"
On the other end of the headset, Jiang Zuiyue's voice immediately rose, full of teasing and envy:
"Listen! Mr. Ji is really a model boyfriend! And look at this guy next to me——"
She changed her tone and moved closer to Jiang Chenyang beside her, her voice sweet:
"Brother Chenyang~, I want to have a full banquet~~~"
Jiang Chenyang seemed to pause for a moment, then responded calmly:
"Let's talk after this game."
"Okay, thank you brother~ Brother is so nice~~"
Wen Duo was touched by the bold conversation between Jiang Zuiyue and the others, and was also a little moved because Ji Huaishen still remembered to take care of her.
But she suddenly remembered something more important, frowned in worry, and reached out to gently touch Ji Huaishen's sleeve:
"But... you're still injured."
She did not forget that he was wrapped in bandages and covered with scars.
"Hmm? Are you injured?"
Jiang Zuiyue's ears were very sharp, and he immediately caught the key words, and his curiosity and gossip were instantly ignited:
"What's the injury? Wen Duo, you didn't scratch him, did you?
In the last paragraph, Jiang Zuiyue stretched out his tone and his voice was ambiguous.
"no!"
Wen Duo's face flushed red, and she denied it hastily, her voice rising a little:
"It was... it was today in the pool hall. The chandelier suddenly fell and almost hit me. He was trying to protect me, and the broken glass scratched his arms and back..."
She told him about the thrilling scene that happened in the afternoon. When she thought about it now, her heart still beat fast.
If Ji Huaishen had not fought desperately to protect him at that time, he might have been crushed to death.
After she finished speaking, there was silence on the other end of the headset for a few seconds.
Then, when Jiang Zuiyue's voice sounded again, the previous laughter and teasing disappeared without a trace, and it was replaced by a subtle seriousness and coldness:
"The chandelier suddenly fell? Have you checked it? Are you sure it was just an accident? Is it really a problem with the chandelier itself, or..."
She didn't finish her words, but the blank space left behind was enough to send a chill down one's spine.
Ji Huaishen's expression didn't change much, but his eyes darkened slightly, and his voice was as calm and steady as always:
"The maintenance personnel initially determined that the load-bearing structure had rusted due to recent storms, which caused rainwater to seep in and caused the internal structure to rust, leading to the fracture."
He repeated the maintenance personnel's conclusion without any emotion.
"Oh,"
Jiang Zuiyue uttered a very light sneer, with obvious sarcasm:
"Do you think I would believe such a coincidence?"
Ji Huaishen's tone remained indifferent:
“Every facility in the villa is regularly inspected and maintained by a professional team every month.”
He paused and added, "We also checked the surveillance footage. We didn't find any suspicious individuals approaching the chandelier before and after the incident."
In other words, all the evidence points to an accident, and even if he has doubts deep down in his heart, there is currently no evidence to support other speculations.
Wen Duo blinked, looked at her phone, and then looked at Ji Huaishen, who was standing beside her with a calm expression but deep eyes.
Confuse.
ah?
Is it really not her problem?
After a moment of silence, Jiang Zuiyue was the first to break the silence.
She smiled and said to Wenduo:
"Duoduo, the system is reminding you to hang up, hurry up and move."
"Oh...oh oh!" Wen Duo finally came back to his senses and controlled the character.
.........
This game came to an end quickly due to the tacit "efforts" of the two men.
When the word "Victory" popped up on the screen, Wen Duo was slightly stunned. She didn't expect it to end so quickly.
She said goodbye to Jiang Zuiyue and exited the game interface.
As soon as he exited the game, he noticed a pair of eyes that could not be ignored falling on him.
Wen Duo turned her head and happened to meet Ji Huai's deep eyes.
At this moment, he was looking at her intently from the side.
The look in his eyes seemed to contain a hook, and seemed to hide a bottomless ocean, which made her heart tremble slightly.
Wen Duo blinked her eyes, with a bit of innocent look:
"What's wrong?"
She asked in a low voice.
Why are you looking at her like that?
Just like...
It's like it's going to eat itself...
Ji Huaishen's expression didn't change much, except for the slightest upward curve of the corners of his lips, as he stated a fact in a calm tone:
"I got a total of 139 kills."
"Um.....?"
Wen Duo became even more confused and responded subconsciously in a soft voice:
"I know, you're amazing."
She didn't understand why he emphasized this number. Was he trying to give her a compliment?
But she always praised it.
Could it be...that he thinks her praise is not specific enough?
Or do you want more praise?
She was making random guesses in her mind, and even began to wonder if Ji Huaishen had discovered her previous casual and perfunctory compliments.
I feel a little guilty...
Then, Ji Huaishen spoke slowly:
"Remove the one kiss that was already given."
He paused, his eyes lingering on her slightly parted lips for a moment before continuing:
"There are still 138 to go."
Wen Duo: “…”
Wen Duo: “!!!”
In an instant, a large amount of blood seemed to rush to the top of her head, and Wen Duo's cheeks, ears, and even neck were dyed with an attractive crimson.
She finally remembered!
Before, every time Jiang Chenyang took a head, Jiang Zuiyue would give him a kiss. She was also kissed by Ji Huaishen, but he never asked for it again afterwards.
At that time, she just thought that he was just jealous and a kiss would be enough. She didn't expect that he actually... actually remembered them all and counted them one by one!
"T-So many..."
Wen Duo's voice became stammering due to shock and shyness, and even had a cute crying tone:
"How long will this kiss last?"
She even subconsciously calculated in her mind that if she kissed once per second, it would take almost two minutes!
Kiss for two minutes straight...
Won't her lips break?
and......
And just thinking about the scene of herself taking the initiative made her feel like her whole body was burning.
