Chapter 474
Lei Ke's eyes were somewhat sharp, and Rong Rong's heart skipped a beat. She secretly clenched her fingers and said calmly, "It's Liu Qi. We've been shopping all day."
Subconsciously, Rong Rong didn't want Lei Ke to know that she had seen a psychologist, so she casually asked her best friend to be her shield.
"Oh?" Rick chuckled, but his voice was noticeably lower. "But I just asked her, and she said she didn't see you, Rong Rong. Are you lying?"
Rong Rong fell silent instantly, and the atmosphere became tense. She quickly thought of something to say, but in the end, it was Lei Ke who compromised first.
"Alright, do whatever you want. I won't stop you. You don't need to hide from me. I'm just worried about your safety."
Lei Ke got up and walked to Rong Rong, whose eyes suddenly reddened.
"You know, after that incident, I've always been worried." Rick raised his hand and wiped Rong Rong's eyes, which were slightly damp to the touch.
Rong Rong buried her head in Lei Ke's arms and said in a muffled voice, "I'm sorry."
She felt guilty for hiding things from her boyfriend, even though they had agreed to be honest with each other when they were together.
As Lei Ke stroked Rong Rong's hair, his empty heart was instantly filled.
How could he not feel Rong Rong's resistance and growing distance? How could he not feel pain and pressure?
For a fleeting moment, he was terrified that Rong Rong was really going to leave. The fact that Rong Rong cried and hugged him meant that she still had feelings for him.
However, he had to find out who Rong Rong had met today and why she had distanced herself from him.
His intuition told him something was wrong.
"13, take a look at who Rongrong has met and what she has done from yesterday to today."
“Host, Challenger Rong Rong has been in contact with three people in the past two days: her parents and her classmates. Today, she had dinner and watched a movie with her classmates.”
"A classmate?" Rick's heart tightened. Why would Rong Rong hide her date from him? "Who is it?"
"Lu Yao, the young master of the Lu family, is the Challenger's loyal simp at University A. The Challenger pursued him relentlessly, but he was snatched away by Examiner No. 1."
“Now Rong Rong is looking for him again…” Lei Ke didn’t finish his sentence; he had a premonition that he was about to lose Rong Rong.
At this time, Rex and System 13 were unaware that the so-called date between Rong Rong and Lu Yao that they found out was just an illusion, and that Shen Chexuan had tampered with it.
However, the final result was not much different; Lei Ke was indeed going to lose Rong Rong.
"Activate location tracking. From now on, I need to know where Rong Rong is and who she's with at all times!" Lei Ke ordered coldly.
The system's mechanical voice immediately sounded, "Received! Location tracking function activated for the host. Target: Challenger Rong Rong!"
Since Ling Jue's death, Lei Ke has focused all his energy on preparing to deal with Examiner No. 4, thinking that Rong Rong was not a concern. But now it seems that Rong Rong is the most important one, and he cannot fail to distinguish between what is important and what is not.
That evening, Lei Ke was invited to stay for dinner by Rong Rong's parents. After dinner, Lei Ke and Rong Rong were both sent to Rong Rong's bedroom.
Now, Rong's parents trust and feel more at ease with Lei Ke, and they have come to regard him as half a son.
On the screen, the family was enjoying a happy time, but off the screen, Si Yuxiao's face turned green.
When he was with Rong Rong, he was often looked down upon by Rong's father, and Rong's mother treated him like a thief. Now, however, they are treating that fake so well. How could this not make Si Yuxiao feel uncomfortable?
Ling Jue was laughing wildly beside him, and Si Yuxiao immediately kicked Ling Jue out. He thought that perhaps his lounge needed a sign that said dogs and Ling Jue were not allowed to enter.
When Rong Rong and Lei Ke were alone in the room, Rong Rong felt an unprecedented stiffness and embarrassment.
Her mind was constantly filled with Shen Chexuan's words about the subconscious.
She found that the knot in her heart had become even bigger.
Rong Rong pretended to be busy fiddling with her laptop, occasionally tapping on the keyboard, without speaking to Lei Ke the whole time.
Rick sat quietly on the sofa, watching Rong Rong's back, silent and repressed. If Rong Rong suddenly turned around at this moment, she would definitely find Rick's eyes and expression so familiar.
Resolute and tough, just like the 'mercenary' who found her at the hot spring.
But Rongrong didn't see it.
Finally, as if he had had enough of the silence, Rex stood up and slowly walked towards Rong Rong.
Upon hearing the noise, Rong Rong's back gradually straightened, and her body slowly tensed up. Suddenly, a warm, large hand landed on her shoulder, and Rong Rong's hair stood on end instantly.
"Are you avoiding me?" The deep voice was flat and emotionless, but it only made Rong Rong more frightened.
Rong Rong didn't turn around or make a sound. She inexplicably sensed the aura of the previous murderer on Lei Ke.
With a slurping sound, Rong Rong felt Lei Ke sit down close to her, his eyes fixed on her face.
"Shall we talk?" Lei Ke asked. Rong Rong put down her hands and stopped typing.
"Let's break up." Rick suddenly dropped a bombshell, and Rong Rong looked up in surprise.
Rong Rong finally met Lei Ke's eyes, which were filled with pain, repression, and reluctance. Rong Rong realized that what Lei Ke said was not his true feeling; she had driven him to this state.
Guilt overwhelmed Rong Rong once again, and she sadly lowered her head.
"Since you hate me, can't accept my touch, and want to stay away from me, then I'm willing to grant your wish and give you your freedom."
I'm giving you a chance to be with the person you truly love.
Lei Ke's tone was heavy, and although his expression was calm and seemingly indifferent, Rong Rong could see the struggle and pain in his eyes.
No, it shouldn't be like this!
Rong Rong reached out and covered Lei Ke's mouth, her eyes red-rimmed, "No! I don't hate you! Nor does anyone else!"
Rick's eyes suddenly lit up, as if a lamp had been lit in the darkness.
His joy, excitement, and happiness were evident.
His silly grin contrasted sharply with his usual composed demeanor.
Rong Rong, who was originally heartbroken, burst out laughing.
Rick's eyes lit up, and he finally couldn't resist stepping forward, cupping Rong Rong's face, and kissing her.
Rong Rong's heart suddenly stopped, and she instinctively wanted to dodge, but this time her reason prevailed over her instinct.
Rong Rong slowly closed her eyes.
At this moment, Rick was so excited that he couldn't speak. Overwhelmed by a strong sense of happiness, he kissed those red lips he had longed for day and night.
It's soft and chewy, and a hundred or even a thousand times sweeter than I imagined.
Rick thought that if his life ended at this moment, he would have no regrets.
Rong Rong's heart was pounding wildly, but a vague unease lingered in her heart.
After the kiss ended, Rong Rong's body went limp. She nestled in Lei Ke's arms, the room quiet and cozy.
The two hadn't been this intimate in a long time, and Rick loved this moment. He sat upright, gently holding Rong Rong, silent, unwilling to break this precious sweet time.
