The phone rang.
As A Wan finished speaking, a mobile phone ringtone echoed through the room. It was Han Chen's phone.
The sound annoyed Ming Li. She directly hung up and tossed the phone onto the bed.
The phone rang again.
As soon as the call ended, Han Chen's phone rang once more.
Ming Li narrowed her eyes, a flicker of impatience flashing in her icy pupils. She picked up the phone again, glanced at the caller ID, and pressed the answer button.
After a "du" sound, a gentle and pleasant voice came from the phone. "Ah Chen, where are you? Why aren't you replying to messages? Auntie just called me, saying you didn't come home. I thought you were with me. Where are you? Why aren't you speaking? Did something happen?"
Ming Li raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, "Male lead?"
Wei Gelin on the other end of the phone: "......What?"
(⊙o⊙)?
Ming Li realized what she had said, her lips twitching slightly. She spoke calmly, "My name is Lin Qingli, and Han Chen is with me."
Upon hearing this, Wei Gelin momentarily imagined Ming Li saying next, "I want so many million, don't call the police, or I'll kill him."
Thinking this, Wei Gelin's mouth twitched, and he asked cautiously, "Who exactly are you?"
Ming Li: "......Is this guy deaf?"
━━(￣ー￣*|||━━
Ming Li looked expressionlessly at the phone, as if seeing Wei Gelin on the other side through the device. Her voice was chilling as she spoke, enunciating each word, "Lin, Qing, Li."
This voice sounded somewhat familiar. Wei Gelin froze, as if something flashed through his mind. "You... are that woman from that day?"
"Mmm." Ming Li nodded, sent an address to Wei Gelin, and said with some impatience, "Hurry up and get this guy out of here, or I'll kill him."
After speaking, Ming Li hung up the phone.
Wei Gelin: "......"
A Wan and the System beside him: "......Has the art style gone off track?"
Meanwhile, Wei Gelin glanced at the address Ming Li had sent him, then reassured Han Chen's family, and left with his keys.
The doorbell rang.
Half an hour later, the doorbell of Ming Li's house rang. The System, with its short legs, trotted to open the door. Seeing the man standing outside with a somewhat flustered expression, the System said, "Big shot, Male... Wei Gelin is here!"
After speaking, the System trotted away again.
Wei Gelin: "......A red pig? A talking pig?"
Wei Gelin's expression was utterly bizarre. With his mind filled with question marks, he walked into the house.
Seeing the arrival, Ming Li calmly put down the yogurt in her hand. Her gaze drifted lightly towards a certain room, and she said, "He's in there."
"Thank you. Um, Ah Chen... didn't cause you any trouble, did he?" Wei Gelin asked cautiously, glancing at the expressionless woman sitting on the sofa.
Ming Li: "No." Hearing this, Wei Gelin breathed a sigh of relief. He went into the room, picked up the unconscious Han Chen, and gave Ming Li an apologetic smile.
Meeting the man's smile, Ming Li seemed to remember something and said, "Wait a moment."
With that, Ming Li took out the dazzling halo from her space and tossed it to Wei Gelin. "Wear it. Don't lose it again. It's troublesome."
Wei Gelin, who received the halo: "......? How do I wear this?!"
"What is this?" Wei Gelin squinted, his eyes stinging from the brightness, and looked at Ming Li doubtfully, asking.
Ming Li didn't even lift her head, calmly uttering three words: "Good stuff."
ps: Thank you, little cuties, for the gifts!
