Shen Jianxi, who had already gone upstairs to help Luo Yuqi tidy his room, did not notice that as soon as she left, the door of the small cabin was slowly opened.
Upon seeing the arrival, everyone got up to greet him.
...
Upstairs.
"Sister, you said..."
"Bang!"
Before Luo Yuqi could finish speaking, he heard a sudden door slam behind him. Then, his vision spun, his back was pushed against the wall, and a pair of chilling hands gripped his neck.
"What does Sister want to do?"
Even though his life was in someone else's hands, Luo Yuqi remained unfazed, staring into Shen Jianxi's eyes with amusement.
"Sister, you like this type? If it's Sister's preference, I can cooperate. Where should we start? I haven't tried this before, I don't really understand, so I'll have to trouble Sister to teach me first..."
"Shut up!" Shen Jianxi hissed, "Behave yourself!"
Listening to him spout increasingly absurd things, her head throbbed painfully.
"I don't know what you're trying to do, nor am I curious. You can stay here. But put away all those little thoughts of yours!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Yuqi raised his hands to his ears and said with a grin, "What is Sister saying? I don't have any ulterior motives, I just wanted to see Sister's work environment."
"On the other hand, Sister..."
He lowered his head, wanting to move closer, but the hands on his neck suddenly tightened. Seeing this, he could only give up, leaning back as if resigned.
"Sister thinks so little of me, it's truly heartbreaking."
After speaking, the smile on his lips vanished, replaced by a chilling coldness. A closer look would reveal a hint of probing in his eyes.
"Why does Sister not want me to do something? Is it guilt? Or fear? Or are you hiding something?" Su Dan Novel Network.
Shen Jianxi met his probing and oppressive gaze directly, her eyes unwavering. Her fingers slowly loosened.
She took a step back, widening the distance between them, and crossed her arms, no longer concealing her imposing aura.
Their eyes locked for a moment. She let out a light laugh, did not answer his question, and turned to leave.
The door was gently closed. Looking at the shut door, Luo Yuqi reached up to touch his neck.
The warmth seemed to linger. Recalling Shen Jianxi's demeanor just now, he let out a long sigh.
It seemed this Shen Jianxi was indeed not the same as the previous one. After all, that poisonous and foolish version lacked such an aura.
...
77: "Beep! Luo Yuqi's favorability +15, current favorability is 20."
Hearing the melodious voice, Shen Jianxi's mood brightened considerably. However, this good mood was abruptly extinguished when she saw the two people sitting on the sofa downstairs.
Most of the people in the cabin had arrived. Except for Luo Yuqi, who was still in his room, and Jing Luan, who had just gone upstairs, everyone else was sitting on the sofa, chatting.
Among them, Shen Xingzhi and Ji Zhaoyun were the most conspicuous.
77: "...Actually, it's your guilt, isn't it? That's why you immediately noticed those two. Otherwise, Ye Chuanci is also quite good-looking, and he's sitting right next to Shen Xingzhi, why don't you see him?"
"...Shut up." Shen Jianxi didn't hurry downstairs. Instead, she stood still, listening to the conversation below. "And, I'm not the same as I used to be anymore. I don't feel guilty, because my heart is as cold as if I'd been slaughtering fish at RT-Mart for ten years."
77: "...Whatever makes you happy."
Although she bantered with 77, the worry in her heart did not lessen.
If Luo Yuqi hadn't come, today could have been managed. But he had arrived. Ji Zhaoyun had seen him at the previous banquet.
She wasn't naive enough to believe she could fool everyone with Luo Yuqi's cooperation, as Ji Zhaoyun wasn't an idiot.
A man and a woman who looked exactly alike. Besides a blood relation, there was no other explanation. And as everyone knew, Father Shen only had one daughter.
Anyone could figure out the relationship.
Then, looking at Shen Xingzhi, who was chatting happily with Ji Zhaoyun, Shen Jianxi had a plan.
Their relationship was currently a secret. Since that was the case, she just needed to keep it hidden and avoid being discovered.
With this thought, Shen Jianxi no longer hesitated and walked downstairs.
The sound of her footsteps attracted everyone's attention. Shen Xingzhi's eyes lit up and he was about to step forward, but Shen Jianxi stopped him with a look. He was stunned, suddenly remembering their prior agreement, and could only suppress his eagerness.
Meanwhile, Ji Zhaoyun on the side stood up in shock.
The person before him was someone he knew very well. They had just been on a date at the amusement park. He would never mistake the girl he was longing for, even if she was disguised as a boy.
Seeing his gaze, Shen Jianxi knew Ji Zhaoyun had recognized her.
She sighed inwardly, gave Shen Xingzhi a look to wait, and turned to go upstairs again.
As she walked, she self-deprecatingly thought that these trips up and down the stairs were good for exercise.
Ji Zhaoyun quickly stood up, hastily said "Excuse me, I'll be right back" to Shen Xingzhi, and hurried after her.
The two of them were led by Shen Jianxi to her room. As soon as the door was closed, Ji Zhaoyun spoke, "Your reaction has explained everything, right?"
Shen Jianxi turned around, facing him, her lips pressed tightly together.
"...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you."
"I need an explanation."
Thinking of her interactions with others during the last recording, Ji Zhaoyun felt a surge of anger, and his expression turned somber.
