"Child's play?" Ye Xiu walked out from the shadows of the corridor and glanced contemptuously in the direction where Ling Jing left.
It’s so late, isn’t Lin Jiu asleep yet?
Ye Xiu put his hands over his chest, his expression distorted because of the pain.
The wound left by blocking the knife for Lin Jiu in the Nanyang underground nuclear power plant would cause unbearable pain every night when the seasons changed.
He had previously told Lin Jiu that Ye Sheng was an excellent doctor who could even remove his scars, but he was actually lying to her.
He didn't want Lin Jiu to feel that she owed him anything because of this matter. After all, he thought it was what she should do before. Now that she knew that he was Lin Jiu's brother, he should do this for her even more.
But when Ye Xiu went to pick up Lin Jiu at the gate of the Imperial Capital Academy of Fine Arts today, he discovered that there was unhappiness hidden in her eyes that was difficult to conceal.
Why?
Just now, when they were playing cards in the living room, although everyone was trying to cheer Lin Jiu up and although Lin Jiu was smiling the whole time, it was obvious that she was worried.
Ye Xiu didn't know what Lin Jiu was worried about, but when he saw Lin Jiu coming to the Ye family alone this time, he always felt a little disappointed.
He had met Huo Shen in Bincheng Hospital before. Although he and Huo Shen had had some minor conflicts, he now hoped that Lin Jiu could be happy.
Why didn't Huo Shen come with her today?
Ye Xiu unknowingly arrived at the door of Lin Jiu's room. The room was quiet and the lights were off.
He raised his hand to knock on the door, but when his hand was one centimeter away from the door, his hand stopped in the air.
He just called out softly, "Xiaojiu, are you asleep? I'm the fourth brother."
But the room was silent, with no response.
Ye Xiu thought he might be overthinking it, so he put down his hand that was about to knock on the door and turned to leave.
But just as he took a step, the door behind him opened.
"Fourth brother, what's the matter with you looking for me so late?"
Ye Xiu turned around and saw Lin Jiu wearing a black sweatshirt and jeans, not pajamas. Was she getting ready to go out?
A layer of sadness covered Ye Xiu's face, which was more beautiful than a woman's.
"Xiaojiu, are you ready to go out?"
"No, I just couldn't sleep, so I was playing games on the computer."
In fact, Lin Jiu was using the computer to contact Si Yun, asking him to inquire about Su Moyun's whereabouts.
Because after Su Moyun sent her a strange garbled WeChat message today, her phone has been turned off.
Lin Jiu was very worried about her. A girl was pregnant and had gone deep into the dangerous den of the Dark Night Group.
Afterwards, Lin Jiu posted a 9 million yuan order on the dark web to buy Su Moyun's whereabouts.
She always felt that something had happened to Su Moyun, and she was always worried.
Ye Xiu stretched his head to look towards Lin Jiu's room. The laptop on the table was open, and it was indeed the game interface.
"What game are you playing? Do you remember when we were in Nanyang, you said you owed me a favor and asked me to play games with you for an hour?"
Lin Jiu suddenly remembered the past and there was indeed such an incident.
"Okay, Fourth Brother, this is true. Let's go together now and play duo."
Ye Xiu walked into the room and turned on the light. "It's bad for your eyes to look at the computer without turning on the light."
"I see." Lin Jiu followed him into the room, "But there's only one computer."
"Let's play on our phones." Ye Xiu took out his phone, a sharp gleam in his eyes.
"Okay!" Lin Jiu sat sideways on the chair in front of the laptop, casually took out his mobile phone, unlocked it with his face, and a WeChat notification from Ye Xiu popped up on the screen.
Lin Jiu clicked on the notification, and it was just a smiling face avatar.
Why was Ye Xiu sending WeChat messages when he was clearly right next to her?
Lin Jiu turned to look at him, but as soon as she turned her head, Ye Xiu snatched the phone from her hand.
"Fourth brother, you are already an adult, why did you snatch my phone?"
Ye Xiu opened Lin Jiu's WeChat contact interface and clicked on Huo Shen's profile picture. "Xiao Jiu, of course I saw you were unhappy today, and I felt sorry for you. Why didn't Huo Shen come with you? What happened between you two?"
Ye Xiu said as he sent a voice invitation to Huo Shen's WeChat.
The call invitation was quickly accepted on WeChat, and Huo Shen's somewhat tired voice came, "You're not sleeping so late at night. Are you planning to cultivate immortality or overcome tribulation?"
