The atmosphere became somewhat tense.
Looking at the surprised and bewildered expression on Xiao Wanjun's face and the bandage wrapped around her hand, Shi Xi felt that his attitude just now might have been a bit too much—in fact, he wasn't sure if Xiao Wanjun had done it, but he just impulsively decided to try and trick her.
After all, if it really was man-made, Xiao Wanjun, who had a close relationship with him, was the most likely candidate.
But his expression clearly showed surprise (he didn't expect his deepest secret to be dug up).
Furthermore, the plot does not explicitly state that Xiao Wanjun is proficient in computers.
However, later in the story, when the Qin Group was attacked by top hackers, Xiao Wanjun asked an unknown friend for help, and successfully resolved the crisis.
To be honest, there's a high chance it's due to the power of a master storyteller.
The beautiful woman was wrongly accused for no reason.
Thinking of this, Shi Xi coughed twice, skipping the topic altogether, "It's probably because I haven't updated the software."
Things unrelated to the mission shouldn't be dwelled on too much; it's pointless.
Hearing the cough, Xiao Wanjun frowned, quickly poured a glass of lemonade and handed it to Shi Xi, then sat closer and pinched the back of his neck with her slender but strong fingers.
Xiao Wanjun hadn't expected that before he could even figure out how to explain, Shi Xi would find a reason on her own and convince herself.
My baby looks even cuter now.
Shi Xi, who was drinking water, looked up at Xiao Wanjun, puzzled. "What?"
Xiao Wanjun pressed the massage points a couple more times before explaining, "More massage will help you recover faster."
Shi Xi nodded upon hearing this and didn't stop him; it was quite comfortable this way anyway.
Why did you and He Xiangdi have a falling out?
After enjoying herself like a king for a while, Shi Xi took another sip of lemonade and suddenly asked a question.
Upon hearing this question, Xiao Wanjun paused, his disgust barely concealed. He gritted his teeth and said, "He thinks I'm not good enough for you, and that I'm only with you for power and wealth."
Although He Xiangdi didn't say it explicitly, Xiao Wanjun knew very well that this was what he was thinking.
Most of those who consider themselves superior are actually harboring malicious suspicions about those of lower status or position than themselves.
In their world, there are only two kinds of people: the strong who need to befriend and flatter, and the weak who need to be guarded against and exploited.
Shi Xi is an exception.
Shi Xi's gentleness and friendliness are his nature, and they will not change because of whether the person standing in front of him is of noble or ordinary status.
It's a gentleness etched into one's very being, rather than something superficial.
Shi Xi frowned. He gave a reason, but not a key one.
We need to ask more questions.
But since his lover was being treated so scornfully by his friend, he had to comfort her first.
Shi Xi looked angry and said indignantly, "How could he say that to you! You're not that kind of person. I'm the one you're with, not him. Just because he thinks you're not good enough, does that give him the right to make decisions for me?!"
Shi Xi frowned and glanced at Xiao Wanjun, who was sitting on the sofa, staring at her as if she were mesmerized.
Even when my baby is angry, he/she is so cute.
It's really beautiful.
I really want to...
Seeing that he didn't speak, Shi Xi raised her voice and added, "He Xiangdi has really gone too far!!!"
—Hey beautiful lady, say something! You're making me look really dull by not saying a word!
Qin Huaixi remained silent for a moment, seemingly realizing it was his turn to speak, before withdrawing his hand from the massage, nodding, and saying, "Yes, he was so mean."
He didn't look like an innocent victim at all; he looked more like a straight man in a comedy duo.
Shi Xi choked for a moment and looked at Xiao Wanjun.
Are you a broken record?
Xiao Wanjun observed Shi Xi's expression, which seemed hesitant. She stammered, "Actually, I don't think his targeting of me is entirely because of that..."
"It could also be my imagination."
"But I have a vague feeling... that He Xiangdi's feelings for you seem to go beyond just being a good friend; it's more like a possessive desire for something you don't own."
At this point, Xiao Wanjun took out a voice recorder from her pocket. "I've met him privately twice, and... he's also responsible for the recent troubles at Jiang Sheng Construction."
I heard the contents of the recording pen.
999 shocked【Σ(っ°Д °;)っ】
【What?! Xiao Wanjun has taken over your storyline!!】
Shi Xi's expression froze, and she gasped.
He sighed heavily in his heart.
Oh no, oh no.
Xiao Wanjun ultimately deviated from the original plot.
The confrontation with He Xiangdi was supposed to be part of his own storyline, but Xiao Wanjun ended up completing that part of the storyline for him.
And what's wrong with He Xiangdi? Why does Xiao Wanjun think he's possessive of her?
Did the villains also stray from the plot?
Xiao Wanjun looked at the incredulous expression on Shi Xi's face.
Things eventually escalated to this point, with Shi Xi being implicated and learning of He Xiangdi's betrayal.
Xiao Wanjun felt very sorry for Shi Xi and quickly took her hand, comforting her, "It's better to know what kind of person He Xiangdi is sooner rather than later. It's okay, you still have me..."
No, I don't have you.
You are the protagonist (shou) in Qin Huai Xi.
Shi Xi glanced at Xiao Wanjun, whose face was full of concern, and then carefully considered the plot again—
Qin Huaixi has now fallen in love with Xiao Wanjun at first sight and is pursuing her relentlessly. He has also discovered that he is a useless rival in love, and Jiang Sheng Construction is also in trouble.
Overall, the situation is very favorable.
And He Xiangdi...
He has only met with He Xiangdi a few times, and based on the current plot, it is not easy to conclude that he has also deviated from the plot setting.
Let's go check on him later and see what's going on.
The most important thing right now is to enter a cooling-off period after breaking up with Xiao Wanjun.
Shi Xi pulled her hand away from Xiao Wanjun's grasp, as if she had calmed down, and asked one last question—
"If I don't investigate, how long do you plan to keep this from me?"
Xiao Wanjun was stunned for a moment, and was about to explain when she met Shi Xi's eyes.
Shi Xi looked at him without saying a word, her brown pupils silently conveying her meaning: tell the truth.
Looking into Shi Xi's eyes, Xiao Wanjun felt as if a large hand was gripping her throat, preventing her from uttering a single word.
Undeniably, if Shi Xi hadn't investigated, he would have solved the problem in his own way.
Although there will be a price to pay, it's nothing.
He always manages to get away with it.
After an unknown period of silence, Shi Xi stood up somewhat stiffly.
"Xiao Wanjun, let's both calm down for a while."
"You focus on filming, I'll take care of Jiang Sheng Construction. Once you've finished filming, we can sit down and have a proper chat."
Separating for a while would allow Xiao Wanjun to figure out exactly how she felt about him.
Filming "Awakening of Insects" is the main task and must be completed.
"Is it just a period of calm?" Xiao Wanjun looked up at Shi Xi and asked meaningfully.
"Yes." Shi Xi nodded, patiently explaining, "I need time to deal with these things."
"Okay." Xiao Wanjun nodded. "I'll wait for you."
