Chapter 148 Her waist is really thin
Zhou Zhiheng hung up the communication after giving the order.
The large suite was filled with the smells of blood and alcohol, eerily quiet.
Ning Shuyin tried to contact Su Qianqian again, but the message from her personal terminal was still "unable to connect".
From Zhou Zhiheng's perspective, the petite girl, dressed in a well-tailored business suit, sat on a single sofa, her shoes tapping on the carpet, her eyelashes trembling slightly, looking uneasy.
He walked to the smashed bar counter. He walked around the corpse, took a bottle of water from the surviving liquor cabinet, unscrewed it, and handed it to her.
"Have some water. Don't worry too much about your friends. Maybe they're having a private time together somewhere."
Ning Shuyin took the water, her anxiety undiminished. The attackers had clearly identified Gu Lei as their target.
Although they failed, the fact that Su Qianqian and Gu Lei have lost contact is a very bad sign.
Just then, Amanda's voice came in, her report crisp and clear.
"Reporting to the Chairman, according to hotel surveillance and departure records from the helipad, Professor Gu Lei and Ms. Su Qianqian's private aircraft left the hotel an hour ago, heading towards Ms. Su's private residence."
Upon hearing this news, Ning Shuyin finally felt a sense of relief. They had safely left this place of trouble.
But then she realized something was wrong.
If you're leaving, why is the communicator unreachable?
"I need to go to Qianqian's house," Ning Shuyin said.
"Aren't you afraid of disturbing their intimacy?" Zhou Zhiheng straightened his cuffs.
Ning Shuyin ignored his teasing and quickly walked out of the suite.
When she reached for the elevator button, she remembered that she hadn't brought the aircraft over today to avoid attracting attention.
Footsteps approached from behind.
Long, slender fingers reached out from behind her and sensed the upward button: "What a hassle. Take my Phantom."
The spacecraft took off smoothly and blended into the night sky of Planet A.
Ning Shuyin sat on the soft guest sofa, her gaze fixed on the porthole, her brows furrowed.
She was secretly speculating about the mastermind behind this crisis, and the image of Loran's cold face and the words he had said in Gurei's office flashed through her mind.
"Don't hesitate to pay the price of making you silent forever."
Ning Shuyin felt waves of heart palpitations.
She was so worried that she didn't notice Zhou Zhiheng's gaze falling on her face.
Zhou Zhiheng was replaying the events of tonight in his mind; the memory of fighting side by side in the suite was still very clear.
He savored the weight of her flying kick on the attacker several times; he was very satisfied.
Seeing her furrowed brows now, I felt annoyed and wanted to reach out and smooth them out.
He gently rubbed his fingertips together, trying to control himself, when he suddenly noticed her brows relax. Not only did her brows relax, but the corners of her mouth also curved into a smile.
Ning Shuyin was unaware that she was being closely observed. Her worries were just interrupted by the cheerful broadcast in her mind.
[Ding! The main couple's romantic night in the novel has been completed!]
[Host, Su Qianqian and Gu Lei have successfully completed their intimate contact, and their relationship is still developing. Reward: Special Item: Mind Reading Key x 1]
[Item Description: One-time use item. When the button is placed on the target, meaningful physical contact can allow you to receive a true thought from their subconscious.]
Ning Shuyin noticed the word "intimate contact" in the system settlement notification.
Have they already figured it out themselves?
Zhou Zhiheng just said they might be intimate, and she thought he was being sarcastic, but he actually guessed right. He's really not a beaver.
Ning Shuyin's worries vanished.
It's great news that Su Qianqian successfully won over Gu Lei.
A surge of happiness welled up inside her, and the corners of her mouth secretly curled up slightly. However, she was also a little annoyed because Zhou Zhiheng had inexplicably guessed the answer correctly.
She was unaware that she looked adorably silly at that moment.
Zhou Zhiheng was diagonally opposite her, not missing a single micro-expression.
"What are you laughing at?" The purple-eyed gaze drifted over.
"Huh?" Ning Shuyin snapped out of her daze, composed herself, and touched her face. "I wasn't laughing."
“You smiled,” Zhou Zhiheng said calmly. “And your smile almost reached the back of your ears.”
"I didn't," Ning Shuyin retorted. Her lips barely curled up two pixels; the idea of a wide grin reaching her ears was utter nonsense.
Zhou Zhiheng simply chuckled softly.
The aircraft's intelligent navigation system announced: "Chairman, we are approaching the airspace above Ms. Su's residential area. Do you wish to request a rendezvous?"
"Oh, no need!" Ning Shuyin spoke up before Zhou Zhiheng could, "Take me home, thank you."
According to the system's announcement, Su Qianqian and Gu Lei should be enjoying a sweet moment together right now.
She was very clear about one principle: during any crucial intimate interaction between the main couple, disturbing them at will would seriously disrupt the plot and could very likely result in severe punishment.
Therefore, the most important thing is for the couple to give each other sweet moments, no matter how big the world is.
Seeing her appearance, Zhou Zhiheng guessed that she might have contacted a friend.
However, he did not immediately issue the order to change course.
“The aircraft needs to recharge,” he said without batting an eye. “We’ll take a detour to the airport in District 5.”
Ning Shuyin: "..."
She glanced at the star map. It would take her at most ten minutes to get home from here, but it would take at least an hour to get to the Fifth District Airport and back.
This guy is deliberately targeting her, isn't he?
Just as she was grumbling to herself, the Phantom received instructions to head to Sector 5, and its speed decreased significantly during the course adjustment.
Ning Shuyin just stood up.
This caused her body to slide to one side due to inertia, and she was about to lean against the porthole.
An arm suddenly reached out, supported her waist, and gently pressed her back into her seat.
"Sit tight while flying," Zhou Zhiheng's voice was right next to me.
His palms were large and warm, and his body heat emanated through the fabric of her suit.
"It's okay now." She sat up straight, indicating that he could let go of her.
"Hmm." Zhou Zhiheng released his hand, but hesitated for a moment.
His hand had just touched her suit pocket and bumped into something.
It's a thin, round sheet with an outer layer of plastic wrapping.
Ning Shuyin had just glanced at Zhou Zhiheng up close, and a thought inexplicably flashed through her mind—
"This guy is actually quite good-looking up close, and his waist seems pretty slim too..."
Almost at the same moment, Zhou Zhiheng's face stiffened.
His beautiful eyes were fixed on her: "What was that sound? Were you talking just now?"
Ning Shuyin: "!!!"
He heard her? No way, it was just a random thought that flashed through her mind.
She wouldn't have lost her mind and blurted out those words.
“I didn’t say anything.” Ning Shuyin leaned back in her seat, trying to create some distance between herself and him. “You must have misheard. It was probably just the voice from the intelligent driving system.”
Zhou Zhiheng, however, stretched out his arm, looking calm and composed, and repeated in her tone, "This guy is really good-looking up close, and his waist seems quite slender too."
Ning Shuyin: "..."
He not only heard it, but he also remembered it perfectly.
She felt her blood rushing to her head, and her cheeks grew hotter and hotter.
"System, what's going on? Why can he hear my thoughts?" she frantically called out to the system, hoping it wasn't some kind of punishment again.
[Host, did you attach the mind-reading key to yourself?]
Ning Shuyin reached into her suit pocket, her fingertips touching a small, round object sealed with a thin film.
It was that mind-reading button.
Out of curiosity, she took the reward out of her system inventory after receiving it, wanting to see what it looked like.
As a result, while talking to Zhou Zhiheng, she casually put it into her pocket.
She reviewed the effects of the item; it didn't specify that it could only be used on others, nor did it state that the mind reader could only be her.
What a rip-off!
Ning Shuyin's heart was bleeding.
Such a precious, one-time-use prop was used up so carelessly. And in such an embarrassing way...
Zhou Zhiheng looked at her expression.
I knew I hadn't misheard, even though her voice was very soft.
She usually maintains a calm demeanor even when facing danger. But the slight turbulence in the aircraft just now caused her to inadvertently blurt out what was on her mind.
So that's how she saw him.
Zhou Zhiheng's lips curled up uncontrollably. He didn't back away, but instead trapped her firmly between himself and the back of the chair.
"Really?" He leaned closer to her, reaching out to remove the glasses that were getting in the way from her nose. "Do I really look that good up close? And..."
"Is my waist very slim?"
