Zhu Shuangyao still trusted the words from the male lead. However, seeing Ying-ge and Huo Qizheng leaving early and returning late every day, it didn't seem like everything was okay.
Lu Jing didn't have a deep friendship with her. At first, his impression of her was quite bad. Although it had improved a bit, it wasn't that great. It was already a kind act for him to give her a reminder. "Although our cooperation is mutually beneficial, in the end, you did me a favor. I'm a person who clearly differentiates between kindness and grudges. I'll ignore the request you made today. If you need my help in the future, feel free to come to me."
"However, I'm still a bit curious." Lu Jing had investigated Lin Qinghua's movements and found no overlap with Zhu Shuangyao at all. "How on earth did you deal with Lin Qinghua?"
"Lin Qinghua? Who's Lin Qinghua?" Zhu Shuangyao felt the name was a bit familiar, but she just couldn't remember who it was. Why did the male lead suddenly mention such a strange person? Did this person want to frame her again? Her eyes immediately became defensive.
Humph, she knew the male lead was never up to any good.
Lu Jing, who was carefully observing her, saw the change in her expression and was instantly speechless. At this moment, he was really sure that Zhu Shuangyao had no romantic feelings for him.
Well, how could the president of the Huo Group not tell a girl's true feelings?
Lu Jing spread his hands. "Okay, if you don't remember, then forget it. Yunyun is still waiting for me downstairs. I'll leave first. Don't forget to introduce me to her."
After Lu Jing left, Zhu Shuangyao thought and thought but still couldn't remember who Lin Qinghua was. So she simply stopped thinking about it, walked out of the private room, and planned to go home.
"Zhu Shuangyao! What a coincidence!" Just as she walked out of the private room, she heard a surprised and excited voice. Zhu Shuangyao turned around and saw a delicate-looking girl with bright eyes looking at her. It was... that... the girl who had pitifully asked to add her WeChat!
Her name was, if she remembered correctly, Xue Xiaoxue?
In a flash, Zhu Shuangyao finally remembered who Lin Qinghua was. Wasn't he the volunteer she had been asked by the class monitor to replace? So he thought it was her doing that the guy suddenly got hospitalized?
It wasn't at all! The class monitor had said at that time that it was because the guy had eaten too much junk food while playing on the weekend and his stomach couldn't handle it, which led to acute gastroenteritis.
After figuring this out, Zhu Shuangyao gave Xue Xiaoxue, who had reminded her of this, a polite smile. "It's you. What a coincidence."
Xue Xiaoxue excitedly stepped forward. Since Zhu Shuangyao had saved her in the hospital that day, she had been receiving psychological counseling in the hospital. In her previous life, she hadn't felt anything when she died, so there was no psychological shadow. But this time, she had truly faced death. She was just an ordinary person. How could she not have a shadow? She had just been discharged from the hospital yesterday and still had to go back for regular check-ups.
She had been at home calming herself down when the system suddenly gave a warning: [Please, host, immediately disrupt the key plot point! Please, host, immediately disrupt the key plot point!]
Xue Xiaoxue was jolted. She had been in a daze these days and had long forgotten about the mission. She had just come back from the brink of death and didn't want to fall off the cliff again. So she immediately got the coordinates from the system and rushed here.
But on the way, she got stuck in traffic. Halfway through the traffic jam, the system reported the mission progress: [The key plot point has been disrupted. The key plot point has been disrupted.]
[Due to the system's mistake last time that put the host in danger, the system will compensate the host with 30,000 merit points, open the system mall for free, and reward the host with...]
Xue Xiaoxue didn't want to listen anymore. Although she no longer needed to go there, she still wanted to. She wanted to thank her savior in person.
These days, she had also checked the Internet. The result of the hospital attack had been announced by the police. They said that the criminal had intended to cause trouble in the hospital and had accidentally inhaled a new type of hallucinogenic drug, which had led to such a serious consequence. Fortunately, someone had stepped forward bravely. Otherwise, several doctors would have been injured.
After the police announcement came out, many people uploaded videos of that day, and they quickly became hot posts. Among them, Zhu Shuangyao was the most eye-catching. She not only had a neat and free-spirited fighting style but was also a girl. Unfortunately, in the uploaded videos, her face was either highly blurred or only a side view was captured. Her full face was never shown.
But the system had captured it. Xue Xiaoxue asked the system to make the footage into a video and upload it to the Internet. But as soon as it was uploaded, it was blocked. She wasn't willing to give up and uploaded it several more times, but each time it was blocked instantly. She was so angry that she was fuming, but she couldn't find out what was wrong.
Xue Xiaoxue was determined to win this battle with this useless system. She had to upload it!
But for now, the most important thing was... the savior in front of her.
Xue Xiaoxue stepped forward and took her hand. "Classmate Zhu, do you have time? How about I treat you to dinner? You saved me last time, and I haven't thanked you properly yet!"
Zhu Shuangyao was confused. "When did I save you?"
Xue Xiaoxue looked pitiful. "In the hospital last time, I was pulled in front of someone to block the knife. I almost died. It was you who saved me... Have you forgotten?"
Zhu Shuangyao still had a bit of an impression, but she hadn't paid attention to the girl's appearance at that time. She asked with concern, "So it was you. How are you recently? Are you okay? I remember you seemed to be quite scared at that time?"
"Yeah." Xue Xiaoxue had a beautiful smile. "But I'm much better now. I received two days of psychological counseling in the hospital. The doctor said there's nothing serious for now. I just need to go for regular check-ups in the future."
Zhu Shuangyao was also happy for her. "That's good. As long as you're okay."
"Classmate Zhu, you saved me. I can't always call you Classmate Zhu. Can I call you Yaoyao?" Xue Xiaoxue looked at her face and asked小心翼翼ly.
"It's okay." Zhu Shuangyao put her finger to her lips and made a shushing gesture. "But it's okay to call me that in private. If my boyfriend hears it, he'll be unhappy."
Xue Xiaoxue rolled her eyes. "Your boyfriend is really jealous..."
Well, Zhu Shuangyao was beautiful and kind-hearted. She had also seen her in the volunteer team that had received Lu Jing. This was enough to show how excellent she was. You know, the people in that volunteer team had all gone through a tough selection process. It was just that Xue Xiaoxue had been blinded by the mission and only now realized how amazing Zhu Shuangyao was.
A girlfriend like this must have a lot of suitors. Of course, her boyfriend had to keep a close eye on her. She didn't know which guy was worthy of Yaoyao. If he wasn't as good as the male lead, she wouldn't agree.
She had completely forgotten about the disgust she had felt towards Zhu Shuangyao when she thought the girl was dating two guys at the same time.
Zhu Shuangyao just smiled and said nothing. Huo Qizheng's jealousy... was actually okay. Anyway, it wasn't as bad as the male lead's.
Xue Xiaoxue quickly brought up another topic. "Yaoyao, what do you like to eat? Let's go out and find a restaurant for dinner?"
"Don't bother." Zhu Shuangyao waved her hand. "Let's just eat here. The soup here is excellent. I've been wanting to try it for a long time, but my boyfriend has been busy recently and hasn't been able to accompany me. It's such a coincidence that I met you. We can go and eat together. You accompany me this time, and I'll treat you. Next time, you treat me. How about it?"
This was a five-star hotel. Xue Xiaoxue really couldn't afford it. But Zhu Shuangyao's thoughtfulness made her feel warm inside. She sweetly replied, "Okay."
As she said this, she took out her phone and opened Weibo to show it to her. "Yaoyao, you may not know this, but you're really popular on the Internet. But for some reason, the videos can't be uploaded clearly. They're all blurry."
Zhu Shuangyao took a quick look and felt helpless. This was obviously Luo Jiu's doing. Maybe Huo Qizheng was also involved. Although the pictures were highly blurred, people who were familiar with her could still tell who it was in the video. Zhu Shuangyao's heart skipped a beat. She had a bad feeling.
She was going to be scolded by her family when she got home tonight...
Xue Xiaoxue was excitedly showing Zhu Shuangyao the videos. The two of them were walking downstairs while looking at the videos, planning to book a new private room. Halfway down, Zhu Shuangyao saw a girl staggering as she was being pulled by a man. The girl had a delicate face and a dazed look in her eyes. It was obvious that she had lost her mind.
But wasn't this Luo Yu? Why was she here? She was supposed to be in City C.
