Chen Nian leaned against the car window, with a distance of one seat between him and Shafley.
He had no intention of paying attention to the eldest prince whom he had not seen for a week. He estimated that the other party would not be able to see his terminal screen from this direction. Chen Nian could not wait to open the log to see what Chen Ci had recorded and how he had been doing these days.
Opening the diary, Chen Nian saw the reminder "Modified" on the articles he had written previously.
Revise?
Chen Nian clicked on it curiously and immediately saw the red pen markings that were different from the black text.
Chen Ci also wrote a note for him.
Chen Nian immediately became interested. As expected of his brother, he was so serious! Why didn't he think of this?
Chen Nian started reading from the diary of the first day of their exchange, skimmed through a long section of nonsense, and once again saw his careful reasoning about "someone outside Shafulai".
And that big red question mark next to it.
Chen Nian was stunned.
After the question mark is a long paragraph of handwriting. Chen Ci's handwriting is neat, lean and powerful, pleasing to the eye.
But the content made Chen Nian no longer pay attention to this beautiful handwriting.
——I have known Shafley for more than ten years. He probably doesn't have a close personal relationship with any unknown Omega. If you see him absent-minded and often staring at the terminal, he is probably dealing with things in the game.
——He also invited me to play Fantasy Kingdom with him a few years ago, but I did not agree due to personal reasons.
Chen Nian: …………
What the hell, that little goblin that disturbed Shaffley was actually a game? !
No...No way!
After a brief moment of daze, Chen Nian's heart was filled with shock. No wonder Gui Zhiqi couldn't find out anything, because there was no Omega at all!
This is so embarrassing! Thanks to him for collecting clues and analyzing so carefully!
...How embarrassing! His speculation was wrong from the beginning, yet he was still so confident. Chen Ci will definitely laugh at him when he reads this!
Chen Nian bit his lip. Although he was extremely thick-skinned, he still felt a little embarrassed when he thought of Chen Ci's confused look as he circled his speculation and put a question mark on it.
Chen Nian has been dominating the romantic world for a long time. He claims to be familiar with Alpha psychology and knows them very well. However, he suffered his first setback at the hands of Shafulai, whose mind was only occupied with playing games.
He took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.
...Damn it! Could it be that to Shaflay, his brother's charm is not as good as a game!
Shafulai glanced at Chen Nian. He had been secretly paying attention to his surroundings since he got on the car. The subtle changes in the Omega boy's expression did not escape his attention.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"It's okay." Chen Nian quickly tightened the corners of his lips, pretending that nothing had happened, and he felt a little guilty towards Shafulai.
——I’m so sorry, game geek. I will never call you a scumbag again.
Chen Nian continued to read the other notes in the diary, and Chen Ci would write down his own thoughts based on his notes.
It's as if... the two of them are communicating across time and space.
Chen Ci and Gui Zhiqi met several times and said that they liked this new friend very much.
He also told Gui Zhiqi that he had a "dual personality", which just solved the problem of the two people's completely different personalities being easily exposed.
Antonio and Shafla invited Chen Ci to go to the harbor base, but Chen Ci refused. Shafla also gave him a bullet shell, saying it was the gift he had asked for before.
...Did he ask Shafley for the shell?
Chen Nian was somewhat puzzled. He circled Chen Ci's diary with a blue pen and wrote:
"I didn't ask him for this. Maybe he remembered it wrongly."
Afterwards, Ji Yifeng sent a pot of green tea roses as a gift, as well as some other things.
Chen Nian was relieved to see that Chen Ci did not comment on what he did last week.
He really couldn't pretend to be a brother completely. It would be better to stab him to death than to let him be cold and do nothing all day.
Fortunately, Chen Ci didn't mind.
The car soon arrived at the White Tower. Chen Nian said goodbye to Shafley, took the elevator, and walked into Chen Ci's bedroom again.
Chen Nian sat on the edge of the bed and returned to this tidy bedroom again. The ecological tank was still by the wall, the eggs in the ant nest were waiting to hatch, and Jin Jili was still living well next to the water circle.
He found the chat box with Gui Zhiqi and sent a message: "Are you free today? Do you want to come and play?"
Gui Zhiqi quickly replied: "Okay."
Chen Nian turned off the terminal, walked to the window, placed his hands on the windowsill, and looked at the scenery in the distance.
For Chen Ci, this white tower was a prison that had trapped him for eighteen years.
But in front of Chen Nian, it couldn't restrain itself at all.
Judging from Chen Ci's diary, his brother gradually changed because of his behavior and learned how to get along with friends.
Chen Nian slowly emerged from the mire, while Chen Ci walked out of the high tower top.
They get the best out of each other.
Gui Zhiqi came to the White Pagoda after lunch.
Chen Nian was waiting for her in the playroom. Seeing the boy leaning lazily on the sofa with his eyes and eyebrows sloppy, Gui Zhiqi paused.
She came to Chen Nian and called out tentatively, "Chen Ci?"
"It's me." Chen Nian blinked. "To be exact, it's me from a week ago."
Gui Zhiqi understood. Even though she had been skeptical before, now that she saw Chen Ci become lively and cheerful again, she believed it completely.
…really cool!
Chen Nian held the pillow and moved to the side to make room for her: "It's not easy for me to leave here normally, so I can only call you over to play. Is it a bit troublesome?"
"No problem. I don't have much to do right now."
The two chatted happily, and Chen Nian suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, Qiqi, do you have money in your account now?"
"Yes." As the daughter of a noble family, Gui Zhiqi certainly has a lot of pocket money, not to mention that she also relies on her professional skills to take on some design drafts, making her a veritable wealthy woman.
Chen Nian: "Can you help me transfer the money to another account first, and then I will return the money in my terminal to you."
Gui Zhiqi: "Other accounts?"
Chen Nian: “Well, that account is also mine, but no one else knows about it.”
Gui Zhiqi suddenly realized: "I see, you want to save some money, right?"
"Tsk." Chen Nian raised his index finger to signal her to speak more quietly, and Gui Zhiqi quickly covered her mouth.
She looked around and realized that the entire White Tower was probably under the surveillance of the intelligent butler. She approached Chen Nian and whispered, "My father often does this."
Chen Nian smiled, and Gui Zhiqi said nothing more. She immediately unlocked the terminal and logged into the bank system: "Give me your card number. How much do you want?"
"30,000 Augie, is that okay?"
Chen Ci had to pay back the ten thousand Auggies that Fu Tianhe spent on the pass. After that, he would go back to take Jiang Dai to see a doctor, and he would also have to buy inhibitors for himself, which was a huge expense. Moreover, now that he had lost his job at the nightclub, it would not be enough for him to spend just relying on Jiang Dai to do the translation, no matter how much he saved.
In fact, thirty thousand is not enough, but since it is the first time for Chen Nian to do such a transaction, he wants to try out the effect first.
"Of course." Gui Zhiqi transferred the money readily. Chen Nian was not borrowing money from her and would return it to her using a monitored terminal, so the amount didn't matter.
Besides, borrowing money is nothing. For Gui Zhiqi, 30,000 OG may just be the price of a dress.
Chen Nian used Chen Ci's terminal to transfer 30,000 yuan to Gui Zhiqi. Then he would say that Gui Zhiqi bought something for him and he was embarrassed to accept it because it was too expensive, so he gave her the money.
The smart housekeeper should not notice it.
At the same time, Cinnabar No. 13 information processing area.
Chen Ci had already arrived at the commercial street. He was wearing a duckbill cap with the brim pulled down very low. His black mask fit his skin tightly, covering most of his face, leaving only a pair of calm amber eyes exposed.
According to his memory, Chen Ci found the tattoo shop that Fu Tianhe had sent his location to.
The store is just a narrow strip, sandwiched between two jewelry stores. Who would have thought that this is actually one of the entrances to the black market?
Just as Chen Ci was about to go in, the terminal on his wrist suddenly vibrated.
He raised his hand and saw a text message from the bank popping up at the top, indicating a transfer.
Chen Ci opened the text message and saw that just now, thirty thousand Augie had been transferred to him from a certain account.
Chen Nian’s salary?
Probably not, because Chen Nian paid his salary on the second day after he first came to the dungeon in half a month.
So this money...
Chen Ci had a rough guess in his mind.
He looked up at the nearby tattoo shop and reached into his pocket, feeling the touch of the velvet jewelry box on his fingertips.
Inside the box was an amethyst given to him as a gift for his sixteenth birthday.
His terminal has been under surveillance. Not only can he not transfer money to Chen Nian, he can't even contact her. Chen Ci originally planned to sell some things on the black market to pay Fu Tianhe back.
After all, ten thousand Augie is not a small amount. Chen Ci doesn't like to owe favors to others and cannot simply enjoy the benefits brought to him by Fu Tianhe.
But now, there is no need to sell anything.
Chen Ci took his hands out of his pockets, turned and left.
Chen Ci came to the familiar neighborhood, unlocked three doors, and returned to Chen Nian's home.
Jiang Dai was doing housework when she saw Chen Ci coming home and said, "You're back."
Chen Ci hummed and was about to take the mop from Jiang Dai: "Let me do it, you go and have a rest."
"No need." Jiang Dai dodged and said, "Mopping the floor isn't that tiring. I can do it."
Chen Ci did not insist and watched Jiang Dai mop the floor slowly in silence. Jiang Dai had bad legs and feet, but he did the housework without any difficulty.
Chen Ci never had a job in the White Pagoda.
Perhaps the first moment he takes over the mop to mop the floor, he will be exposed because of his awkward posture and unfamiliar movements.
It seems that he needs to study hard, otherwise he will be exposed soon after staying in Chen Nian's house for three weeks.
Chen Ci didn't think he could keep it a secret for long. After all, he and Chen Nian were too different, and Jiang Dai was the one who raised Chen Nian.
But he hasn't figured out how to face Jiang Dai yet.
What role did Jiang Dai play in the accident that year? For the past 18 years, he and Chen Nian have been living in seclusion in the underground city and have never come into contact with the upper class. What is his state of mind?
Chen Ci returned to the bedroom, closed the door, and began to read the diary that Chen Nian had left this week.
Chen Nian had discussed most of the important things with him face to face in the bathroom. Even so, Chen Ci still slowed down his reading when he saw the scene where Chen Nian was questioned by Drake in the back alley of the nightclub and Fu Tianhe jumped down to rescue him.
Chen Nian tried to use his mental power for the first time, disrupting Drake's movements and helping Fu Tianhe, but then he fell into the headache that is most common among beginners.
Chen Ci was not surprised that his younger brother also had psychic powers. They were mirror twins and should have the same talents.
Chen Ci opened a new document, recalled his childhood experiences, and slowly wrote down the methods of mental training.
No matter how talented you are, you should progress step by step and practice from the basics. Otherwise, if you blindly overdraw your abilities, you will only run into a dry spell in the future.
Only after he had written down all the training methods he could think of at the moment did Chen Ci continue to read the rest of the content.
Chen Nian quit her job at the nightclub and was nearly bullied by her boss, but she managed to escape by using her mental power.
He didn't think about meeting Fu Tianhe, but instead took the opportunity to test Fu Tianhe during the few days he stayed at home.
The test method that Chen Nian designed in his excitement firmly grasped the weaknesses and psychology of human nature, and it was even a little terrifying indescribable.
Chen Nian has done a lot of similar things. After all, dealing with many Alphas is his means of making a living.
Chen Ci quickly opened the chat box with Fu Tianhe, and as expected, he saw the chat history that was the same as the emails the two of them sent to each other.
Chen Nian did it completely on purpose. Every time Fu Tianhe told him something, he would wait at least six hours before replying.
The reply was neither too cold nor too indifferent.
Just for these one or two short sentences, Fu Tianhe had to fall into repetitive waiting that would never end.
However, even so, until the last day, Fu Tianhe did not show any form of dissatisfaction.
He is still enthusiastic and caring. During his break from work, he wants to invite September to play with him and share interesting little things in daily life.
According to the test standards written by Chen Nian, Fu Tianhe is indeed... a trustworthy person.
