Chapter 93

After Qi Zhao said those two sentences and separated from Ji Yue, he found an excuse to avoid the dinner with Ji's father and Ji's mother.

She locked herself in the room and couldn't figure out what went wrong.

Qi Zhao frowned and asked the system: "How do you think Ji Yue found out that I was leaving?"

The system almost collapsed when it heard Ji Yue's words, and it still hasn't recovered yet.

It checked its background data countless times and felt relieved after finding no abnormalities.

Combining its own theory and practice, the system gave its own judgment: [Ji Yue probably hasn't touched the essence of this world yet. He probably just noticed that you are leaving and his mood is a bit unstable. 】

Although there are several peaks of mood swings that reach the [delirium] standard line set by the bureau, it is not a big problem.

"Then this is too unstable." Qi Zhao's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

She never thought she could feel such strong and shattering emotions from Ji Yue.

He was a little too dependent on himself.

This kind of dependence has completely exceeded the scope of love or even family affection in general society.

Qi Zhao couldn't figure out the moment when Ji Yue's paranoia grew.

He had clearly looked like a well-behaved and good student before.

Qi Zhao couldn't come to a conclusion after thinking about it and asked the system: "What's Ji Yue's current favorability level?"

[! ! ! 】

【98! ] The system's voice was full of disbelief, [Why did it go up a little? ! 】

The system suddenly remembered what Qi Zhao said before, and when he spoke again, he was shocked with a hint of admiration: "So you said you had an arrangement before, and you really have an arrangement!" 】

The system has admired Qi Zhao's ability to control the male protagonist's favorability, but the person involved is becoming more and more confused.

Why does Ji Yue's favorability rise instead of falling?

Qi Zhao, who was confused, had doubts about his own vision for the first time.

She thought she had a thorough understanding of Ji Yue's character, but today it seemed that she had never really understood Ji Yue.

Qi Zhao, who really couldn't figure it out, didn't embarrass herself. Unable to reach a conclusion on this matter, she quickly set another goal for herself - to gain Ji Yue and Gu Ci's favorability as soon as possible.

The few months she spent in this game cost her more brains than she had spent on falling in love over the years.

Qi Zhao just wants to take the money and leave and relax.

Ji Yue, who had already received the award, did not stay too long. She had already booked two air tickets the day after she finished the competition.

Ji's father and mother's flight was half a day earlier than theirs. When Qi Zhao went to see him off, they didn't talk about what happened that day. Instead, they pretended not to know anything and hugged them goodbye.

But what surprised Qi Zhao was that Ji Yue looked like he wasn't affected by anything.

When he got along with Qi Zhao, he was still as normal and natural as before.

It's just that there's an inexplicable hint of flattery in his mood that he can't even notice.

Ji Yue is still afraid of being abandoned.

Looking at Ji Yue who was trying hard to hide her inner feelings and kept smiling in front of him all the time, Qi Zhao always wanted to say something, but in the end she still failed to respond to his feelings.

They are not from the same world, and there is no point in trying to establish a deeper connection.

Ji Yue, who was usually talkative and reserved, didn't stop talking on the way back, but Qi Zhao now became the one listening.

After getting off the plane, Ji Yue followed Qi Zhao obediently. Qi Zhao, who was walking in front, was thinking about how to deal with the remaining favorability points from Gu Ci.

Qi Zhao's walking speed was not very fast and her steps were small. Ji Yue, who was taller than her, followed behind and kept adjusting and slowing down her pace.

After finally finding the right speed, the person in front suddenly stopped.

Ji Yue raised her eyes to look at Qi Zhao, and before she could say anything, she spotted the person standing opposite her.

Qin Zhuo didn't expect to meet Qi Zhao here.

Both of them were stunned for a moment.

In the end, Qi Zhao, who was used to encountering his ex-boyfriend by chance, was the first to react.

She raised a smile and said to Qin Zhuo: "Long time no see."

Unlike Qi Zhao's free and easy attitude, Qin Zhuo still had a lot of emotions in his heart after seeing her for the last time at that banquet.

He couldn't say "Long time no see" as calmly as Qi Zhao. This unexpected and chance encounter disrupted his thoughts.

With so many emotions mixed together, Qin Zhuo didn't know what to say for a moment.

His eyes were pulled back from Qi Zhao, and then he suddenly saw the young man standing behind her.

Qin Zhuo knew him.

At that time, he naively thought that the man was Qi Zhao's younger brother.

But now it seems that he is more like a love brother than a biological brother.

The vigilance and hostility in his eyes when he stared at her with furrowed brows really didn't look like a man who only regarded Qi Zhao as his sister.

Qin Zhuo suddenly sneered when he met that straightforward and somewhat reckless gaze.

People who only dare to reveal their feelings secretly where Qi Zhao can't see them are all cowards in his opinion.

Just when Qin Zhuo was about to say something taunting Ji Yue, the boarding tone started urging him to board the plane.

This trip seemed to be very important to Qin Zhuo. After he glanced at the time and was pulled back from his thoughts, he unusually did not bother with Ji Yue too much.

He just glanced at Qi Zhao one last time, and there seemed to be a lot of words hidden in his eyes, but in the end there were only two words out of his mouth: "Goodbye."

I don't know if it was a farewell or a preview.

Qi Zhao originally wanted to ask Qin Zhuo why he suddenly appeared at the airport when he was supposed to be on the set, but when he thought about the film and television department, Qi Zhao lost interest and finally just said: "Goodbye."

Qin Zhuo left. Qi Zhao's back was walking in a hurry. Although Qi Zhao felt that his state today was a bit strange, he did not take it to heart.

But Ji Yue, who had been standing behind her, was different.

After his confession was rejected, he realized that Qi Zhao's relationship with the man on the other end of the phone was unusual and extremely insecure. Now he ran into an ex-boyfriend who Qi Zhao had personally confirmed.

Ji Yue suddenly felt as if the cells in her body had all curled up together.

His hands and feet were somewhat weak, and his forehead and back were covered in sweat.

Ji Yue stared at Qi Zhao's back, feeling sour in her heart, and her eyes suddenly blurred.

He didn't want to be separated from Qi Zhao.

He just wanted to never be separated from Qi Zhao.

Ji Yue's head dropped lower and lower.

His thumb scratched the nail edge of his middle finger in a mechanical motion, as if he didn't even realize that his fingertips were stained with scarlet liquid.

I want to stay with my sister.

...

I want my sister to stay by my side.

There was only one thought left in Ji Yue's mind.

He bit his lower lip and racked his brains to think of a solution. Only a trace of reason remained in his chaotic consciousness.

You can't force or hurt your sister, that will make you hate her.

It was already dark when they walked out of the airport. When Qi Zhao turned to talk to Ji Yue, he also deliberately adjusted his expression and tone.

So Qi Zhao didn't notice anything wrong with Ji Yue on the way home.

They had a bite at a restaurant near the community and then walked downstairs as if taking a stroll.

Ji Yue's words were a bit confidential along the way. Although Qi Zhao noticed that he was a little unusually excited, she didn't worry about it anymore when no problems were found after the system test.

After all, she can't stay in this game for more than a few days.

Perhaps it was a woman's sixth sense that came online, Qi Zhao had a premonition from the moment the plane landed.

I have a feeling that she may complete her mission and leave this world in two days.

She had a way to deal with Ji Yue's remaining two points of favorability, but it was a bit difficult to deal with Gu Ci's side.

Improving favorability is not difficult in itself. For Qi Zhao, the biggest obstacle in this matter is herself.

She could obviously find Gu Ci as if nothing had happened, and then use a few tricks to increase her favorability.

But the problem lies precisely here.

Qi Zhao couldn't turn a blind eye.

She was still angry with Gu Ci and couldn't take the initiative to seek peace.

Qi Zhao's aura obviously dropped, and his mouth became a straight line.

Ji Yue, who had been chattering next to Qi Zhao, immediately fell silent after noticing her change in mood.

...Did I disturb my sister?

Ji Yue began to feel uneasy, but he did not dare to ask for fear of getting a positive answer.

Anxiety slowly turned into impatience. The autumn night brought a cool wind, but Ji Yue was like an ant on a hot pot at this moment.

"Qi Zhao."

Ji Yue opened her lips and before she could speak, she suddenly heard a man's voice.

Ji Yue looked up and saw the man wearing a suit and looking dignified.

Ji Yue's eyes fell on Qi Zhao again, but she found that her lips pursed tighter.

He saw that his sister had obviously noticed the man, but wanted to pretend that she didn't see him and walk around him.

When the man saw Qi Zhao raising his feet to leave, he quickly said, "We need to talk."

The man's tone was a little urgent at first, but he slowed down when he saw Qi Zhao stop and look at him.

With a hint of pleading that was inconsistent with his temperament: "Just three minutes."

After Qi Zhao stood still, Ji Yue froze in place when she heard the man speak.

He still remembered the sound.

It was the man on the phone, the boss who could change Qi Zhao.

Ji Yue's brain instantly went on alert, and when she turned her attention to the man again, there was a layer of hostility in her eyes.

Like a house cat with its back hunched over and its fur all over.

Domestic cats rarely attack strangers in the presence of their owners.

At this moment, Ji Yue wanted to get rid of this man who made her feel uncomfortable, while at the same time she was carefully observing Qi Zhao's face.

Qi Zhao and Gu Ci looked at each other, frowned and said, "Didn't I make it very clear on the phone?"

Qi Zhao's attitude towards the man was self-evident, and Ji Yue seemed to have received a permission order at this moment, ready to go anytime. Prepare to strike.

Gu Ci stared into Qi Zhao's eyes and shook his head, his tone a little stubborn: "I don't know."

"I haven't explained clearly yet."

Gu Ci raised his foot and took a step forward. Ji Yue stood in front of Qi Zhao as if facing a formidable enemy. The two of them were separated.

His eyebrows were lowered, his beautiful eyes were dyed with a fierce color, and he warned: "Don't go any further."

Only then did Gu Ci realize that there was someone else beside Qi Zhao.

He felt that this face looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

Gu Ci turned his attention to Qi Zhao again and asked, "Who is this?"

Gu Ci's emotions changed as easily as partitioned storage. He naturally finished the question as if nothing had happened, but Qi Zhao was He took a few deep breaths before answering.

"...The neighbor who lives next door to me."

Ji Yue was a little stunned when she heard this answer.

After Gu Ci heard this, he stared at Ji Yue's hostile expression and suddenly understood what he had just warned.

"Sorry." Gu Ci nodded and apologized to Ji Yue, his eyes and tone were very serious, "I'm very sorry to make you feel that your privacy has been violated, but I did not get the address here through illegal channels."

Ji Yue frowned Still frowning, but now the confusion in his eyes was greater than the anger.

...What is he talking about?
