Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Let’s Talk Nicely

“Hahahahaha…”

As she watched the live broadcast from the System, Ji Wanwan laughed like a goose.

Ji Xing, you actually fear ghosts!

Now I’ve got a way to tease this stinky boy~

Unlike Ji Wanwan’s joy, inside the villa, the atmosphere was eerie.

Kneeling on the ground, Ji Xing felt something was off, the voice sounded familiar.

When he looked up, he locked eyes with the stunned Ming Jing.

“Hiss…” Ji Xing pretended to be calm as he stood up and rubbed his foot on the ground, “Why does the floor feel a bit slippery? 001, did you not clean it properly?”

Just as 001 was about to claim it cleaned perfectly, it saw the murderous look in Ji Xing’s eyes and held back its words, “Alrighty, I’ll mop it again.”

Robots are human too; robots also fear death!

If you can’t provoke them, avoid them; the best plan is to run away!

Seeing 001’s figure disappearing in a blink, Ming Jing, who had just come to her senses, twitched her lips and laughed loudly.

If she wasn’t mistaken, Ji Xing just mistook her for a female ghost, right?

Amid Ming Jing’s laughter, Ji Xing’s face grew darker, “Hey! Didn’t I arrange a dorm for you? Why are you here?”

Ming Jing stopped laughing, but her shoulders still shook, “Naturally, to take care of you. Didn’t Sister Ji tell you?”

In a flash, Ji Xing suddenly understood everything.

No wonder Sister Ji didn’t help him treat his wounds and even kicked him here—it was all to set him up with Ming Jing!

He couldn’t help but look at Ming Jing.

The young girl in front of him looked naive, and coupled with her plain figure, Ji Xing: “…”

Sister, do you realize this counts as luring a child?

He raised his hand to his forehead, struggling to say, “I’m fine, I don’t need anyone to take care of me, go back to your dorm and rest well.”

Ming Jing shook her head, “Can’t do, staying in the dorm costs 500 points a month, staying here costs no points, and besides, the rooms here are bigger and more spacious. Going back to the dorm would be stupid, right?”

Ji Xing: “…”

He felt like a big fool right now!

After a brief silence, Ji Xing reluctantly waved his hand, “Fine then, you stay, I’ll go back to the Inner City.”

Fifteen minutes later.

At the Inner Gate.

[Authority Card has expired! Authority Card has expired! Authority…]

Ji Xing: “…”

At the tenth repetitive announcement, Ji Xing broke down: “Ji Wanwan! Damn it!!”

“Gah…”

Ji Xing’s furious roar startled a bird nesting in a birdhouse.

Watching the bird flee and quickly disappear into the night, Ji Xing tearfully returned to the villa.

At that moment, Ming Jing was in her room reading a novel.

Caught up in the emotional part, she was crying her eyes out when suddenly, she heard a noise downstairs. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Without even wiping her tears, Ming Jing hurriedly ran out of her room.

At the sight of Ji Xing downstairs, intensely embracing a bottle of soda, Ming Jing was momentarily stunned: “Weren’t you going back to the Inner City?”

Hearing the crying tone in Ming Jing’s voice, Ji Xing couldn’t help but look up.

Seeing the red-eyed girl upstairs, Ji Xing felt a lump in his throat.

What’s the matter?

Had she been so sad just because he left the villa?

Feeling guilty, Ji Xing hesitated for a moment, then silently picked up an unopened bottle of soda: “Uh, want one?”

Ming Jing originally thought it was too late, and drinking soda would make her gain weight, but when she thought of Ji Xing’s disheartened appearance just now, she hesitated only slightly before descending the stairs and taking the soda.

Xing Zai must be in a bad mood because he’s injured.

Forget it, she had come to take care of him after all—taking care of his emotions was part of that too. If it makes her fat, so be it; consider it sacrificing oneself for a gentleman!

Ming Jing pulled open the can with a flourish and thrust out her hand, “Come on! Bottoms up!”

Ji Xing looked at the soda as if questioning his life choices, “??”

He wasn’t seeing things, was he?

This is soda, not beer, right?

What was Ming Jing up to with all this drama?

He shouldn’t have impulsively given her the soda. Wasn’t it better for everyone just to go to sleep at this late hour?

Though he thought this, Ji Xing’s body inexplicably raised the soda, “Bottoms up!”

Only after he had gulped down the soda in one go, and burped uncontrollably twice did Ji Xing raise his hand to his forehead with a look of utter despair.

Ji Xing, what are you doing?

I’m asking you, what are you doing?!!

Inner City, private space.

Seeing her little brother and Ming Jing chugging soda on the sofa, Ji Wanwan wore an amused smile.

Look, look!

How harmoniously these two get along!

The System, which had been secretly observing the inner drama of the three: […6]

…

The next day, Ji Wanwan hummed a tune cheerfully, strolling leisurely to the dining room.

After picking her breakfast and just as she was about to sit down at a scenic spot, Ji Wanwan saw Wu Xun approaching her anxiously.

Not only that, Ji Wanwan noticed that Wu Xun was injured.

She immediately put down her tray with a serious expression, “Brother Wu, what happened to you?”

“Leader!” Wu Xun quickly approached, his burly figure now with eyes reddened and on the verge of tears.

Before he could speak, Wu Xun choked up and knelt down, “Leader! My brother was exposed while passing on a message! It’s looking grim! Please save him!!”

While speaking, Wu Xun was about to kowtow.

Ji Wanwan quickly steadied him, “Brother Wu, let’s talk this through calmly, stand up first!”

Wu Xun had already lost his wife and many brothers. With Yinyin having become almost incapacitated due to severe changes, and now Cheng Hao hanging by a thread, the man who had always been gritting his teeth in endurance felt for the first time that he couldn’t persist anymore.

He calmed his emotions, softening his tone, “Yesterday, while I was hiding at the Bath City branch, I discovered a marker left by my brother Cheng Hao.

According to the marker, I went to the appointed place at the designated time, only to find that besides Cheng Hao, there were several unfamiliar faces.

The moment I arrived, Cheng Hao gave me a knowing look, and I immediately turned to leave.

The men called out to me to issue a code known within the Union.

Previously, the Union had no such code; when these men demanded a code, I was completely at a loss.

Seeing that I had been exposed, Cheng Hao launched an attack, covering for me to escape. He himself was severely injured as a result.

I fought desperately to bring him back to the base. Leader, please save him!”

Wu Xun’s expression was so tense, suggesting that Cheng Hao’s condition was quite dire.

Ji Wanwan picked up the boiled egg and bread from her tray, “Where is he? Take me to him!”

“He’s at the base entrance, 001 is examining him!” Seeing her willing to accompany him to save someone, Wu Xun’s face lit up with joy, nearly crying out loud.

On the way, Ji Wanwan quickly swallowed her bread and boiled egg, “Did your brother tell you what message he was trying to pass on?”

Wu Xun didn’t dare to lie, “No, those people were lying in wait; Cheng Hao had no chance to speak the message.”

Ji Wanwan pursed her lips tightly.

The message must be critical, given how seriously the Baize Union regarded it. Hence, she had to save this man, no matter what!
