Suddenly, time came to a standstill in that instant.
Suddenly, a light bulb emitting a strange light appeared in front of Lin Xihe's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, a cold, mechanical voice sounded in her mind: [Dear host, the first stage, "Deeply Rooted Love," has been successfully completed.]
Is it finished?
Has Ji Zhuo really fallen in love with himself?
How could all of this happen so quickly?
Lin Xihe was filled with astonishment and confusion.
But upon closer reflection, it seems to make sense.
In the TV dramas she usually watches, there are countless scenes where the male lead falls in love with the female lead at first sight and it lasts forever.
Moreover, the original owner of this body was already blessed with an absolutely stunningly beautiful face, so it's not entirely surprising that Ji Zhuo was moved.
However, a strange, indescribable feeling welled up deep inside Lin Xihe, and all she could think about was leaving this place of trouble as soon as possible.
"Do I still have a mission? I'm just a passerby. You promised to let me go back!" Lin Xihe shouted loudly. However, as soon as she finished speaking, the inexplicably appearing light bulb and the eerie voice disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed.
Lin Xihe was startled and quickly shut her mouth.
Time began to pass again.
Seeing Lin Xihe suddenly fall silent, Ji Zhuo was puzzled and asked softly again, "Xi'er, would you like to return to the capital with me?"
As Lin Xihe listened to Ji Zhuo's gentle yet slightly apprehensive words, a surge of guilt welled up inside her, which she could hardly suppress.
She comforted herself: After you return to the capital, the female lead will surely appear as well. At that time, you will naturally develop along the established emotional line. Presumably, it won't be long before you completely forget me.
Now that she has accomplished her task, she must not allow Ji Zhuo to develop any further feelings for her, otherwise it will be difficult to clean up the mess later.
"When do you plan to return to Beijing?" Lin Xihe asked, trying to remain calm.
"At most one month," Ji Zhuo replied truthfully.
“I’m quite content living in this village and don’t want to go anywhere else. I’m tired, let’s talk about it tomorrow during the day.” After saying this, Lin Xihe slowly closed her eyes, pretending to be exhausted.
"What do you mean by this?" Ji Zhuo stared at the woman in front of him, who was so unfathomable, his heart filled with confusion, completely unable to understand what she was thinking.
Lin Xihe keenly sensed the hint of anger in Ji Zhuo's words. Helpless, she had no choice but to open her eyes again and explain, "When I bought this house, the elders in the village told me that when spring comes, the hillside next to it will be covered with wildflowers. I have not yet experienced that beautiful scenery, and I am really reluctant to leave."
"The wildflowers are more important than me?" Ji Zhuo's voice carried a hint of barely concealed dissatisfaction.
"I chose this village because I love these wildflowers. You can't even wait this long, can you? Okay, stop talking, I'm really sleepy."
After Lin Xihe finished speaking, she closed her eyes tightly again and ignored Ji Zhuo.
Although Ji Zhuo wanted to refute, when he looked down at the woman in his arms with her eyes closed peacefully, all his words were stuck in his throat, and he swallowed them back.
The food and vegetables stored at home have been almost used up today, and I'm afraid I'll have to go to the city to buy some tomorrow.
Just thinking about her many intimate moments with Ji Zhuo, and the fact that she was still lying safely in Ji Zhuo's arms, filled Lin Xihe with entanglement and distress.
She really didn't know how to face Ye Yunfan. Being a scumbag was truly unbearable. She felt as if she were being tormented by both fire and ice.
She closed her eyes tightly, trying to fall asleep, but her mind was filled with countless thoughts, and she couldn't calm down.
Ji Zhuo, who was above him, was also breathing erratically, probably because he, like himself, was preoccupied with worries and unable to fall asleep.
Lin Xihe mentally went through all her worries over and over again, but she still couldn't come up with a clear solution.
The next day, Lin Xihe, looking exhausted, hired Aunt Zhou's donkey cart to go to the city.
She planned to buy the groceries first, and then go find Ye Yunfan.
She felt that if she didn't take the initiative to find Ye Yunfan, he would definitely worry about her and might even come straight to her home.
But if she really went to find him, she really didn't know how to face him.
After hesitating for a long time, I finally arrived at the entrance of Lin Family Hospital.
The moment Ye Yunfan saw Lin Xihe, a bright smile instantly bloomed on his face, filled with joy.
He quickly said goodbye to his father and then happily went out with Lin Xihe.
The two walked side by side on the road.
"Miss Lin, how have you been lately?" Ye Yunfan asked first, his eyes filled with concern.
"Hmm," Lin Xihe simply replied.
“Last time I noticed you liked spicy food, so these days I’ve found two restaurants in the city that have some unique features. How about I take you to try them?” Ye Yunfan said expectantly.
"I won't today..." Lin Xihe was about to refuse.
"What's wrong? Is something bothering you?" Ye Yunfan noticed Lin Xihe's unusual behavior at a glance, and his face was immediately filled with concern.
Looking at Ye Yunfan's sincere yet worried face, Lin Xihe's heart softened, and in the end, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.
"Then let's go."
On the way, Ye Yunfan noticed that Lin Xihe's mood was a little strange, and there seemed to be worry and entanglement in her eyes.
