The system took a look at the TV series playing on the television, roughly understood the plot, and said with disdain.
[Even with such a melodramatic plot, you can actually cry. Are you still the Rong Xi I know?]
"Leave me alone."
Seeing that Rong Xi seemed to be really fine, the system looked at Xuan Rongan again and reminded Rong Xi again.
"Rong Xi, our mission has been very slow so far. Don't make any mistakes. We only have one target. You'd better avoid getting involved with Xuan Rong'an. It will be detrimental to our mission."
"I know. I slapped someone and knocked him unconscious last time. He hasn't recovered yet. Where do you want me to throw him?"
System [This, I'm just reminding you. ]
"I know, I know. My mission in this world still has a long time to go. Don't worry."
Rong Xi answered perfunctorily. After receiving Rong Xi's assurance, the system finally felt relieved and continued to immerse itself in the world of skin.
The two stopped talking and just watched the plot of the TV series develop quietly.
Only after the TV series was over did Rong Xi stand up and prepare to leave.
This time, Rong Xi did not refuse Xuan Rongan's request to send her off.
The two of them came to Jiang's house together and were seen by Jiang's mother.
Although Jiang Mu felt a little sad, she was more happy and relieved.
"Xiao Xuan, are you feeling better? Come in and have a cup of tea." Mother Jiang warmly invited him in.
Xuan Rongan nodded slightly and responded politely: "Much better, auntie, it's just..."
His eyes first turned to Rong Xi, with a hint of caution in them. He was worried that Rong Xi was still unwilling to let him meet his parents.
"My mom has spoken, so come in if you want."
Rong Xi saw Xuan Rongan's concerns, and although his tone was not very good, he still gave him a signal of permission.
Seeing that Rong Xi's tone was a bit stiff, Mother Jiang secretly winked at her, indicating that she should speak more gently.
Rong Xi shrugged helplessly, and the three of them walked into the house together.
The weather outside was still unbearably hot, but the moment they walked into the house, they all felt a cool breeze blowing towards them.
This was Xuan Rongan's first time coming to Rongxi's home. He didn't have any gifts prepared and felt a little uneasy.
Especially when he saw Father Jiang's cold eyes, even though he was already this old, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"Hello, uncle."
Xuan Rongan tried to make his voice sound calmer and greeted Jiang's father politely.
Father Jiang had just been leaning against the window looking out. When he heard the sound, he hurried over, his breathing still not yet completely calmed down.
He looked at the two people in front of him, and a sense of displeasure inexplicably welled up in his heart.
"Mr. Xuan, it's so late, please take my daughter back."
Father Jiang's tone was a little cold. After he finished speaking, he turned to Rong Xi and said, "What does your driver do? Can't he even do a simple task like picking you up?"
Xuan Rong'an looked up and saw that Jiang's father's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it. His furrowed brows and cold eyes showed that he was really unhappy.
His heart tightened, fearing that this anger would implicate Rong Xi, so he didn't care about anything else and stepped forward.
"Uncle, it's me who wants to send Xixi back. I'm pursuing Xixi."
His voice was calm and firm, and he looked straight at Jiang's father with no intention of retreating.
Mother Jiang watched the tense atmosphere from the side, feeling anxious, and hurried out to smooth things over.
She said softly with a slightly forced smile on her face.
"Look, the child is back. Weren't you worried just now? If you're worried, ask Xiaoxuan to bring Xixi back earlier next time."
As Jiang's mother spoke, she secretly winked at Jiang's father, signaling him not to continue the stalemate.
Xuan Rongan quickly agreed, "Don't worry, uncle. I will definitely send Xixi back as soon as possible next time."
His attitude was respectful and sincere, and Father Jiang no longer had the cold expression he had just had.
Rong Xi stood aside, watching this scene, and suddenly a sense of absurdity surged in his heart.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile. She thought to herself why this scene seemed so familiar. She didn't expect that he would have to do the same thing again.
"Okay, go back and we'll talk tomorrow."
Xuan Rongan nodded and replied, "Then I will come to visit you another day, uncle and aunt. It's late today so I won't bother you."
After saying that, he turned and left, his back looking a little lonely in the night.
After Xuan Rongan left, Rongxi was left in the living room by Jiang's father and mother.
Father Jiang's eyes were fixed on Rong Xi, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes. "Xixi, do you really like Xuan Rongan?"
The system immediately became alert, and Rong Xi also keenly noticed the change in the system. She paused slightly, then said, "Don't worry, Mom and Dad. I have a plan in mind."
Her answer cleverly avoided a direct response, neither saying she liked it directly nor saying she disliked it decisively.
However, in the system, Rong Xi had already promised to complete the task well. Only she knew the delicate balance involved.
The next day, Rong Xi went to the company early and handed over the work in an orderly manner.
Afterwards, he and Xuan Rongan took a business jet to the laboratory.
Looking at the island from a distance, it is surrounded by the vast blue sea. It is impossible to reach the island without the help of transportation such as ships or airplanes.
This island is named Zhongyuan Island, and the outer circle is no different from ordinary islands.
If an uninformed person accidentally stumbles in, they will probably just think it is an ordinary deserted island and leave without a care.
If you go one level deeper, you will find that there are many obstacles here.
If an expert who is proficient in this field comes here, he can tell at a glance that this is a carefully arranged formation.
It is extremely difficult to force your way in from the outside, and once you accidentally enter, it will be difficult to escape easily.
Going further in, the security is even tighter, with artificial mazes placed everywhere. These mazes are linked together, like a huge labyrinth, which makes people trapped and unable to save themselves.
Rong Xi had just approached the island with Xuan Rong'an when he keenly felt a vague sense of disconnection between himself and the system.
The system seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and asked in a panic, "Rong Xi, what's going on? It seems like sometimes I can't connect."
Rong Xi frowned slightly and said softly, "It's okay. Maybe this island is too remote. Don't worry, nothing will happen to me."
The system was obviously not at ease. It seemed as if there was a pair of invisible eyes staring closely at the monitoring screen, not daring to relax for a moment.
