But everyone was chatting excitedly at the time, and no one sensed anything was wrong.
Just as the man was about to sit down next to Zhou Xue, Lin Yueze turned his head and saw him. He frowned and quickly stood up.
"Zhou Zhiqing, I prefer to sit on the outside. Would you like to switch seats with me? Thank you."
Without waiting for Zhou Xue's reply, he grabbed her arm, pulled her up from her seat, and shoved her into his previous seat.
He sat down next to the man.
The lewd-looking man pursed his lips unhappily, but didn't dare to say anything.
Everyone else stared at Lin Yueze's behavior in surprise. He was usually very careful to avoid suspicion, but today he actually grabbed a female colleague's arm. This was not his usual style.
My gaze shifted between the two, and I saw that one was completely open and honest, while the other had his head down and his face was obscured.
After watching for a while, we got bored and went back to chatting about our own things.
After Lin Yueze helped her up, Zhou Xue regained control of her body and her ability to speak. Her subsequent silence was due to lingering fear.
"If it weren't for Captain Lin, I don't know what would have happened to me along the way. When I got up, I saw that Li Xi's smile had frozen. And when I got out of the car, she leaned over again, saying she was helping me, but I could clearly feel her pulling me. She was trying to hurt me."
Zhou Xue lay on the table, her body trembling, and Wu Wenwen gently patted her back.
With a loud "bang," Liu Shengnan slammed her hand on the table, startling everyone in the restaurant, including their table.
"This is outrageous!"
The people around them looked at them strangely. Ever since the last little girl came in, these girls had been acting strangely. Could it be that these pretty little girls were mentally unstable? That would be such a pity.
Apart from Zhou Xue, who was crying, and Liu Shengnan, who was furious, everyone else quickly put their hands together and apologized to those around them.
Ye Zhiyu pulled Liu Shengnan down to sit and complained, "You scared us. Keep your voice down."
Liu Shengnan looked indignant, but managed to lower her voice: "She's bullying us too much, we can't let her get away with this."
"What do you want to do? We have no evidence at all. Report it to the police? Without any substantial harm, the police won't get involved."
Ye Zhiyu analyzed the situation seriously and rationally.
"And then, how did you get here?"
Zhou Xue is much better now, only occasionally sobbing. "I went to the post office with her, and ran away while she was getting the mail. I thought you would definitely come to the state-run restaurant, so I came over."
"What should I do? It was really creepy when she was holding me so tightly I couldn't move. I'm so afraid that if I stay in the same room with her again, I won't see the sun rise the next day."
Wu Wenwen quickly covered her mouth and looked around warily. "You can't say that."
What evil? It's all feudal superstition. If people heard that, it would be terrible.
Zhou Xue realized she had said the wrong thing, nodded, and looked miserable.
Ye Zhiyu stroked her chin. "No, I just want you to have bad luck."
Li Xi's system steals a person's luck by causing them bad luck or negative emotions, such as pain and despair, or by changing a person's life through a change in an event.
In her previous life, Li Xi didn't live to the end, so there were some things she didn't know, and all that remained were bringing bad luck and generating negative emotions.
The others all looked worried. Liu Shengnan suggested in a low voice, "Why don't we go back and tie her up, and beat her until she doesn't dare to do it again?"
"That's all bullshit. You hit her without any evidence, so even if you were in the right, you're in the wrong."
Wang Qing has been with Liu Shengnan for a long time, and her speech has even picked up a bit of Liu Shengnan's accent.
"Then what should we do?"
Wu Wenwen thought for a moment, "Why don't we let Zhou Xue move into our room first? Sleeping on the floor is worse than living in fear in that room."
Although they say they believe in science, everyone encounters things that science can't explain, and they all feel uneasy about them.
"Just keep avoiding her like this?" The looks from the others seemed to ask Liu Shengnan, "Do you have a better way?"
Liu Shengnan glanced at Ye Zhiyu, who had been pretending to be deep in thought, and said anxiously, "What are you thinking about, Ye Zhiyu? You always have so many clever ideas, what are we going to do about this?"
Ye Zhiyu rolled her eyes at her: "Tsk, what do you mean by having a lot of clever ideas?"
“She doesn’t need to move.” He beckoned to Zhou Xue with his finger, and she leaned closer in confusion. The next second, a pink hair clip was placed in her hand.
Zhou Xue looked up in confusion, and Ye Zhiyu explained, tugging at her ear.
After hearing this, she was somewhat skeptical. Ye Zhiyu blinked and said, "Trust me."
After a long pause, she nodded heavily, gripping the small hair clip in her hand. She didn't want to hide. She was entitled to resettlement fees for that room, so why should Li Xi get the better deal? She'd find out if it worked after trying it.
"What? What are you two talking about?" Liu Shengnan asked, peeking out.
"What? What? Hurry up and serve the dishes."
The waiter was calling, so they all rushed over.
The table was full in no time, so we just gave Zhou Xue another bowl of rice. The five of them probably couldn't finish all four dishes.
Each plate was very dense, piled high.
Wu Wenwen handed Zhou Xue chopsticks, saying, "Eat, eating delicious food makes you feel good."
"Forget about eating, just looking at these dishes makes me happy."
She'll eat her fill, and if Li Xi gets too close again, she'll slap her across the face.
Everyone got to work, and for a moment no one spoke.
The braised pork was so good that it wasn't greasy at all; even Ye Zhiyu, who doesn't eat fatty meat, couldn't resist eating two whole pieces.
The pork stew with glass noodles was incredibly flavorful; it was the perfect dish to eat with rice. The rice wasn't pure white rice; it included brown rice, but everyone still enjoyed it immensely.
"You've already started eating? That was fast!"
Li Yuzhe's youthful voice came through.
Lin Yueze and his group came in from outside. He nodded to Ye Zhiyu and the others, and they returned the greeting.
Liu Shengnan retorted to Li Yuzhe in an annoyed tone: "Who's like you guys? You grown men aren't as nimble as us girls when you go out."
"You, a good man doesn't argue with a woman."
Thinking that he had finally managed to come out today, he couldn't let it spoil the mood, so he swallowed his words.
