Finally remembering what had happened, Luo Chen shook his head helplessly.
It was just a childhood joke that I didn't have to take seriously. I never expected it would be remembered and treated as a promise.
But considering Qin Xiyao's personality, Luo Chen thought this was normal.
Put the small card back into the envelope, then put it back in its proper place. As for the amber, it's beyond saving.
I never even considered trying to save them.
Now I roughly understand what's going on. As long as I don't take it seriously, then it's nothing.
Looking at the sleeping face, Luo Chen couldn't help but smile helplessly. He wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.
Left with no other choice, he took the suit jacket that was covering Qin Xiyao and prepared to leave.
But the next moment, Luo Chen frowned.
For some reason, Qin Xiyao held on tightly and refused to let go.
She increased her efforts, and she also intensified them.
No matter how much Luo Chen adds, Qin Xiyao adds the same amount.
Seeing this, Luo Chen had a headache.
While a bit of violence might be acceptable, it would certainly wake Qin Xiyao.
If Qin Xiyao woke up, and the two of them stared at each other like that, how awkward would that scene be?
The situation became even more awkward after learning the secret on the card.
Just as Luo Chen was thinking about how to get his coat back...
A sound of footsteps gradually approached from outside the door, startling Luo Chen.
Lu Wanqing, who had been away for a long time, actually returned at this time.
Although he didn't know why Lu Wanqing would come back at this time, Luo Chen knew very well that if Lu Wanqing saw him in Qin Xiyao's room, it would definitely cause a huge misunderstanding.
He gritted his teeth suddenly.
Ignoring whether it would wake Qin Xiyao, he grabbed the suit jacket and pulled it over before anyone could react.
They quickly slipped away.
As long as you slip away fast enough, suspicion won't catch up!
Lu Wanqing carefully carried the hangover tea into the room. She hadn't seen Qin Xiyao in the garden earlier, so she figured she must have gone back to her room.
The lighting in the room also confirmed this idea.
But Lu Wanqing had doubts; as she looked around the room, she felt that something was wrong.
I took a light sniff, and the strangeness became even more obvious.
A faint fragrance lingered, clashing with the scent in the room. Although the scent was very faint, she, being quite sensitive to such things, still noticed it.
Moreover, the taste is very familiar.
In my memory, it seems that... only Luo Chen possessed this quality.
Has Luo Chen been here before?
This question remained unanswered even after Qin Xiyao woke up and was given hangover tea.
But the two seemed to be telepathically connected, sharing a tacit understanding in this regard.
Especially when Qin Xiyao hurriedly pulled open the drawer of the dressing table and took out the small envelope, the question suddenly became certain.
Amber broke!
The answer from the mind surfaced.
Luo Chen had indeed been here before!
[...]
On the other side.
In a small, dark room.
Sang Yi, chained to a chair, had his eyes tightly closed, his face contorted in pain.
His mouth trembled with fear as he murmured in terror.
"Brother Jie, no! Don't do that to me!"
"I'll never drink again! No, no!!!"
As his fear intensified, Sang Yi suddenly opened his eyes.
He looked like he'd been pulled out of the water, his whole body was soaked and cold, and he was panting heavily.
His pupils trembled with fear, a deep terror reflected in his eyes.
Sang Yi never imagined that he would have such a day.
The phrase "a casual acquaintance" is the biggest shadow in his life, the kind that can never be erased.
Unexpectedly, the seemingly honest and simple-minded Brother Jie would actually have designs on him, taking advantage of his drunkenness and deceptive appearance.
Sang Yi was so foolish as to trust that Brother Jie.
One sentence: "Extraordinary courage."
Let me see.
Then the most unacceptable thing in my life happened.
If Luo Chen hadn't destroyed his dantian and caused him to lose his strength...
With Brother Jie's skills, such a disaster would never have happened.
"Hey, you're finally awake!"
Sang Yi was still grieving and unable to accept it when several footsteps and a voice came from behind.
Sang Yi, who had just looked up blankly, realized that he was being roasted and taken to an unfamiliar place.
"Who are you? Why are you roasting me?!"
He struggled a few times, but to no avail. After losing his strength, he was no better than an ordinary person.
The shackles made of this special material are not something he can break free of now.
"Ha, me?"
The speaker stepped out of the shadows, and upon seeing the other person's face, Sang Yi was immediately startled!
Tianjin Guard!
If you weren't sure at first just by hearing the voice, now that you see Mao Tu's face and clothing, who else could it be but the Tianjin Guard?
Sang Yi was well aware of what the Tianjingwei was, and it wasn't like the two sides had never had dealings before.
Of course, I understand it very well.
"My name is Mao Tu, the Rabbit in the Chinese zodiac. This should be our first meeting... Sang Yi, one of the Ten Generals of the Northern Frontier."
Mao Tu sat casually opposite Sang Yi. She already knew that Sang Yi knew her identity, so she skipped the formal introductions.
Besides, I don't want to say any more.
Explaining this thing too much can actually be quite annoying.
"Are you one of the twelve zodiac animals?" Sang Yi asked, somewhat shocked.
"Yes, that's me. By the way, could you please add your name? It would be very impolite."
Mao Tu crossed her arms and legs, appearing somewhat unhappy with Sang Yi's rudeness.
Sang Yi naturally didn't intend to correct what he had said. He was just a little shocked and confused as to why the Tianjin Guards would suddenly come to his door and handcuff him here in such a serious manner.
He couldn't understand why he needed the Tianjin Guard to intervene. If it was because of what he was doing in Yan Province, the Tianjin Guard wouldn't have been involved.
In addition, he was one of Tiger Commander's men, so he didn't need the Tianjin Guard's permission to go anywhere or do anything.
With this confidence, Sang Yi was naturally not too flustered when facing the Rabbit.
In the question-and-answer session, Sang Yi's answers were perfect and watertight.
I thought that this would make the Tianjin Guards suffer a setback, and that the Rabbit would be furious and lose its temper on the spot.
Unexpectedly, the other party maintained a calm attitude throughout, and no matter what Sang Yi said, Mao Tu did not seem to be about to lash out.
On the contrary, he even seemed to be having a bit of amusement.
Sang Yi was dumbfounded. What was going on?
Although the current situation may seem unfavorable to him, he actually still holds the initiative.
Why does the Rabbit (卯兔) make that expression?
Could it be that something has really been discovered by the other party?
Sang Yi quickly rejected this idea.
He is a perfectionist and leaves no trace. He doesn't overlook even the smallest detail, so how could he be discovered?
He's a professional in this area; he wouldn't leave any trace that would give the other party something to hold against him.
The Rabbit is definitely trying to trick him, wanting him to reveal a weakness so that she can achieve her goal.
Mao Tu found Sang Yi's expression amusing. Without a doubt, this scheming fellow was wondering if he was deliberately trying to provoke him and make him reveal a weakness.
How could she be so bored?
Without sufficient evidence, Sang Yi would not have been brought here.
It's not like I'm just bored.
