Jiu Mei didn't know how she heard the young master calling her.
He opened the door, only to find the young master pinned down by someone.
His gaze was calm and well-concealed, but he didn't know why he felt a strange sense of unease in his heart.
But since the young master seems to be calling him, he naturally has to appear.
He said that Miss Alice's phone call forced Chen Xiuyu to let him go.
Because no matter what, Chen Xiuyu couldn't possibly refuse to give him face.
Alice's phone call to Shinno Tsuki at this moment completely enraged Chen Xiuyu, who felt that too many people were getting in their way. Why did everyone want to steal Tsuki?
With a heavy heart, Chen Xiuyu went out and returned home. He thought that the woman must still be there, or perhaps she had returned.
After being rescued by Kumei, Shinno Tsuki looked at the man with difficulty and said something with a little embarrassment.
"It must have been tough for you to see me like this."
Tonight will be a sleepless night, because everyone is lost in their own thoughts, and no one knows what the other is thinking.
Early in the morning, Lin Xiao's school had already started. He was thinking that the favorability rating in this world was a bit tricky, and it seemed that the male lead was harder to raise.
So perhaps he needs to work on the male lead's favorability; maybe a different approach would work?
“Didn’t you say that woman called me? Is she still there? I’ll go answer it. It wouldn’t be good if Grandfather found out.”
After Lin Xiao finished speaking to Jiu Mei, he didn't wait for Jiu Mei to say anything more. He just glanced at the boy still standing in the middle out of the corner of his eye.
She sensed it; the boy's slight furrowed brow made her feel happy. Was he unhappy?
When he brought him here, he didn't have any expression at all. Now that he's like this, it seems like he's doing pretty well.
Lin Xiao shook her head helplessly and told herself that she couldn't rush things in order to win over the male lead.
Lin Xiao, wearing clothes that had been slightly loosened by the other person, stood in front of the phone and answered it.
He uttered a sentence: "Hey, Miss Alice, what's the matter?"
The girl was initially overjoyed that the noble young man had called her, but then his words made her so sad that she almost cried.
To put it bluntly, Kanna Tsuki is an idiot. She doesn't understand girls' feelings and only knows how to say hurtful things to them, unlike the guys outside!
Lin Xiao seemed to be losing patience, because being able to talk to this woman was the greatest blessing he could receive, if she hadn't done those things.
Perhaps making a friend isn't such a bad thing.
"Why do you always yell at me? You know I like you..."
Lin Xiao interrupted the girl's tearful complaints. He didn't want to listen to such nonsensical words anymore, because he was in a bad mood.
"Get to the point. If you have nothing else to say, I'm hanging up now. I have to get up early tomorrow."
Alice stopped being coy this time. She decided to save her coyness for later, even though she liked to act cute.
But she's also a smart person; getting Shinno Tsuki under control is more important than anything else.
"Wait, wait a minute, something really has come up. My father wants you to come to my house after school the day after tomorrow for a welcome dinner party. You have to be there."
After saying that, Alice was a smart woman. She wouldn't be foolish enough to wait for the boy's reply before hanging up. Naturally, she hung up first.
Shen Wei'er felt so busy today, having to be both the bad guy and the good guy, she was really too busy.
She rubbed her forehead and sat in Chen Xiu's house waiting for him. It was already the next morning. This kid, as a student, actually dared to stay out all night.
His mother was rarely home, struggling to make ends meet, but she had no time to care. All she needed to know was Chen Xiuyu's whereabouts today.
The sound of the door opening brought Chen Xiuyu home, exhausted after spending the night outside. He threw his backpack on the sofa, intending to lie down.
Because the house no longer smells of moonlight, no longer smells of his mother, and he's all alone, what else does he care about?
Suddenly, a pungent smell came from beside him. It was a smell that did not belong to the Chen family, nor to Shinno Tsuki!
He's an outsider!
Driven by a sense of vigilance, Chen Xiuyu picked up his gun, loaded it, and surveyed every corner with a slightly cold gaze.
He stopped in his tracks when he stared at the source of the noise.
He said coldly, "Come out, I've found you, if you don't want me to bring you out."
Shen Wei'er shrugged and emerged from behind the wall with a slight smile, seemingly fearless.
"Our little hunter's temper has grown quite a bit lately; he's started to rebel against others. I wonder if he can rebel against that one."
The delicate voice sounded somewhat familiar to Chen Xiuyu. He remembered—it was the woman from that day, the woman who knew his secret!
He pried the gun out of his hand, stepped forward, and pointed it at Shen Wei'er's head, speaking in a slightly unfriendly tone.
"How did you know my home address? And weren't you the girl from that day?"
Shen Weier poured herself a glass of water in Chen Xiuyu's kitchen and said leisurely.
"You might as well just tell me why I'm here again today, since I don't have much time."
"Hmph, stop talking nonsense and get out of my house, or you're not talking."
Shen Wei'er knew Chen Xiuyu's temperament; he was strong-willed and wouldn't even glance at her if it wasn't something he was interested in.
So he didn't waste any more words and directly revealed the purpose of her coming here tonight.
Shen Weier raised her hands in a gesture of surrender, and a second later she used one hand to take Chen Xiuyu's gun away.
She said softly, "Do you know where Shinno Tsuki is going the day after tomorrow? He's going to the Ai family's banquet as the young master of the Shinno family."
It was originally just a trivial banquet, and Chen Xiuyu probably wouldn't have taken it to heart, but the fact that Shinno Tsuki went means something.
This means that both families are definitely hiding something from them and are planning to do something.
That's right, this woman made the right bet. She knew he would definitely care about what Shinno Tsuki was doing and where he went, so she took the opportunity to mock him again.
"So what is your purpose? I feel that helping me like this doesn't benefit you at all. What do you want from me?"
Shen Wei'er sneered inwardly. What did they gain? Of course, it was that they would die slowly and painfully while they were having a good time.
