Before the woman could react, suddenly her vision went dark. When she opened her eyes again, she saw Zhai Cheng just arriving here. Song Ge knew that time had reset again, which was just what she wanted.
Thinking of what was going to happen next, she didn't hesitate for a moment. She stepped forward and took Zhai Cheng's hand.
Seeing their clasped hands, Zhai Cheng was startled all over, and his ears turned a bit red. Just as he was about to say something, Song Ge interrupted him.
"Don't say anything. Just listen to me," Song Ge said anxiously, out of breath.
Zhai Cheng gently patted Song Ge's back with his big palm and said in a soft voice, "Don't be in a hurry. Take your time."
Song Ge swallowed hard, and a blush appeared on her face. "I... I like you." After saying this, she let out a sigh of relief. Finally, she had said it all.
The man was stunned at first, and then overjoyed. He tightened his grip on Song Ge's hand and nervously confirmed, "What did you say?"
Song Ge frowned and tried to pull her hand back. "You're hurting me."
Realizing that he had been too excited, Zhai Cheng let go of Song Ge's hand and instead gently held it, looking at her tenderly. "What you just said..."
"I'm shy. Don't talk about this here," Song Ge said with her head down, looking really shy. "Let's talk in the car."
Before Zhai Cheng could react, she pulled him into the car in one smooth motion.
Seeing them holding hands and getting into the car, Ji Qingyun felt quite complicated. After all, they could only be friends. However, as long as he could stay by her side and help her when she needed it, that would be enough.
After getting into the car, Song Ge looked back to see if anyone was following. After confirming it was safe, she said seriously, "I suspect that Xu Yan is not the real mastermind. There should be someone behind him instructing him, and that person should be someone around you."
Zhai Cheng was still immersed in the joy just now. Hearing this, a look of shock flashed across his eyes. Who could it be?
"Think carefully. Who could it be?"
Zhai Cheng lowered his eyes and thought for a while. Finally, he shook his head helplessly. "I can't think of who it is."
Who on earth hated him so much?
Song Ge nodded to show her understanding. "It's okay. We'll take our time." The blush from her confession just now had completely disappeared from her face.
Zhai Cheng, however, was looking at Song Ge sideways and didn't say a word for a long time.
Song Ge felt her scalp go numb under his gaze. She thought there was something dirty on her face and instinctively touched her face.
"Is there something on my face?"
Zhai Cheng withdrew his gaze, looking a bit unnatural, like an innocent young man.
Song Ge was a bit confused by his expression. She awkwardly touched her nose and had completely forgotten what had just happened.
The car sped down the road like an arrow leaving the bow.
The woman beside him didn't know when she had fallen asleep. Her long eyelashes cast a silhouette on her face.
Her head was bobbing up and down. It seemed that the woman was not sleeping comfortably, and she frowned.
Zhai Cheng reached out his hand and gently placed Song Ge's head on his shoulder. Feeling the weight, his heart rate inexplicably accelerated.
Song Ge found a comfortable position, rubbed against him, and slept more soundly.
The stray hairs in front of her forehead covered her full forehead. Her pink lips made people couldn't help but want to kiss them.
His Adam's apple bobbed. Zhai Cheng gently brushed aside the stray hairs in front of Song Ge's forehead and slowly leaned in.
"Boss, we're here," the assistant reminded him. Just seeing the scene in the rear - view mirror, he immediately felt uncomfortable and instinctively covered his mouth.
Interrupted by someone, Zhai Cheng sat up straight and looked out of the window without changing his expression.
The assistant got out of the car tactfully, moving quietly for fear of waking Song Ge up.
The sun was gradually setting, leaving only half of its face.
The afterglow enveloped the two people leaning on each other, making people think of the tranquility of time.
I don't know how long it had passed. Song Ge opened her eyes. Her mind was still in a daze. Only then did she realize her current position. She instantly froze. Then, she quickly sat up straight and forced a laugh. "How did I fall asleep?"
Zhai Cheng didn't say a word. He just rubbed his shoulder, which was sore.
His action caught Song Ge's eye. She felt a bit guilty. "Let me help you," she said as she put her hand on Zhai Cheng's shoulder.
Because she was wearing thin clothes, the warmth was transmitted to Zhai Cheng through the clothes and quickly heated up, like a fire being lit.
The man immediately grabbed Song Ge's hand, turned around, and looked at her lovingly. "Song Ge, was what you said just now true?"
Song Ge instinctively pulled her hand back. Her face was flushed. "I... I..." She stammered and lowered her head.
Zhai Cheng looked at her amusingly and lowered his head, trying to meet her eyes.
Song Ge kept dodging. Her hand touched the doorknob. Suddenly, she had an idea. She opened the door and fled. "I'll go in first."
Watching the woman's back, Zhai Cheng's lips curled up into a smile, and his eyes were as gentle as water.
Song Ge ran into the villa with a blushing face and bumped into Aunt Chen, who was just coming out to take out the trash.
Aunt Chen saw that her face was terribly red and was very worried. "Miss Song, are you sick?"
"I'm fine," Song Ge covered her face and disappeared in a flash.
"This child doesn't even say if she's sick..." Aunt Chen murmured. When she saw Zhai Cheng coming in, she asked, "Is Miss Song sick? I saw her face was so red."
Zhai Cheng was smiling, looking obviously in a good mood. "Probably shy," he said and then let out a soft laugh. There was no trace of his former coldness.
Aunt Chen was completely confused by these two people. She really couldn't understand the young people nowadays.
The next day, Aunt Chen received a call from the police station.
"Master, it's a call from the police station."
Hearing this, Zhai Cheng and Song Ge went downstairs together.
"Hello," he said in a cold voice.
Because Zhai Cheng was too tall, Song Ge had to stand on tiptoe and get closer to the phone to hear what was being said.
Zhai Cheng smelled a nice fragrance. Looking at the woman getting closer, he was in a good mood. He squatted down a bit. The woman didn't notice and was only focused on the content of the call.
"Mr. Zhai, Xu Yan has confessed. He said there's someone behind him instructing him, but he still refuses to say who it is," the other person said in a formulaic tone.
Zhai Cheng and Song Ge glanced at each other. Although neither of them said a word, they knew what the other meant.
"By the way, Xu Yan confessed all this because of Miss Song Ge. He asked me to convey his gratitude to Miss Song Ge."
"Okay," Zhai Cheng hung up the phone.
Only then did Song Ge realize that her position with Zhai Cheng was very ambiguous. She was like a koala hanging on Zhai Cheng's body, with their bodies tightly pressed together.
She took two steps back, and her face unconsciously turned red again.
"Although we still don't know who the mastermind is, at least we've solved the trouble of Xu Yan," Song Ge tried to ease the current embarrassment by changing the topic.
