This time, no one bothered them. The two of them played outside all night, and both Ji Xiaoli and Zheng Nanfeng had a great time.
As soon as they got back, Jason came over to apologize. It seemed that he had been waiting for them all night.
"Xiaoli, I'm sorry. I still let those people affect you." Jason thought it over and still felt it was inappropriate. After all, it happened in his place, and Ji Xiaoli and Zheng Nanfeng had almost been set up.
Ji Xiaoli shook her head. "It's okay. We weren't affected at all."
Zheng Nanfeng, who had spent the whole night with Ji Xiaoli, was in an extremely good mood and didn't intend to pursue the matter.
"Jason, really, you don't have to take this to heart. We're fine, and it's too polite to say these things between friends."
Hearing what they said, although Jason still felt guilty, he didn't say much. He would just make it up to them later.
Jason nodded helplessly. "You must be tired after playing all night. Go and rest early. I'll go back first."
After saying goodbye to Jason, the two of them chatted for a while and then went back to their rooms to rest.
After entering the room, the system's proud voice sounded.
[Player, come and thank this system for its brilliant foresight.]
Ji Xiaoli smiled helplessly. Sure enough, it was still that arrogant system.
Ji Xiaoli: Yes, thanks to the system's wisdom, extraordinary skills, and excellent strategies...
Ji Xiaoli's continuous praises made the system feel embarrassed.
[Alright, alright. This system knows your admiration for it.]
Hearing the system's arrogant voice, Ji Xiaoli wanted to tease it some more, but the vibration of her phone pulled her back to reality.
Ji Xiaoli looked down and saw that it was Wei Yanlan.
Without thinking much, Ji Xiaoli answered the phone directly. "Mom, what's up?"
Wei Yanlan: "Is that Xiaoli? Are you busy?"
Ji Xiaoli: "No. What's up, Mom? Is there something wrong at home?"
Wei Yanlan: "No. Everything's fine at home. I just wanted to call and ask about you."
Wei Yanlan's sudden concern made Ji Xiaoli stunned for a moment. It took her a long time to react.
Ji Xiaoli had always longed for the warmth of a family, and this phone call from Wei Yanlan obviously made her feel the warmth of home.
A warm current flowed through her heart, and Ji Xiaoli was silently touched.
Just when Wei Yanlan thought Ji Xiaoli was inconvenient to talk and was about to hang up the phone, Ji Xiaoli finally responded.
"Yeah, I'm listening. Go ahead."
Wei Yanlan smiled and asked Ji Xiaoli a lot of caring questions. Ji Xiaoli answered them one by one.
The two talked for nearly half an hour before hanging up the phone.
Ji Xiaoli was filled with emotion. It felt so good to be missed by her family.
Now that she had her parents and Zheng Nanfeng, she was probably a winner in life!
Suddenly, Ji Xiaoli had a whim and asked the system a question.
Ji Xiaoli: System, do you have any relatives?
The system was silent for a long time. Finally, just when Ji Xiaoli thought it wouldn't answer, it spoke.
[I don't have any relatives.]
The system's voice was infinitely desolate, which made Ji Xiaoli think of herself in the past.
Just as Ji Xiaoli was about to comfort the system, the system changed the topic on its own.
[You'd better leave here quickly. Someone still hasn't given up.]
The system's topic change was rather abrupt, but Ji Xiaoli didn't expose it. Instead, she followed the system's topic.
After all, the system had never harmed her. This was the system's secret, and she didn't want to ask too much.
If it were herself, she probably wouldn't want to talk about these unhappy things either.
However, the system must have a story. Ji Xiaoli just didn't want to be nosy.
Ji Xiaoli: Someone? Do you mean Tom? Does he still want to take action?
[Yes]
Ji Xiaoli let out an impatient "tut". This guy was really annoying.
Wasn't the lesson last time enough? He still didn't give up. Did he really think she was easy to bully?
But now it wasn't appropriate for her to take action against Tom. It was better to avoid him.
Ji Xiaoli: I know. I'll leave as soon as possible.
Seeing that the system didn't respond to her anymore, Ji Xiaoli went to rest.
Early the next morning, before Ji Xiaoli had slept enough, Zheng Nanfeng dragged her out again.
Ji Xiaoli didn't say anything. She didn't plan to stay here for long. After going back, she would have to enter the filming crew again. She didn't have much time to accompany Zheng Nanfeng. This was just a good opportunity to spend more time with him.
After staying here for another two days, Ji Xiaoli thought it was about time and mentioned going back to Zheng Nanfeng.
"Nanfeng, it's time for us to go back."
Hearing this, Zheng Nanfeng was stunned for a moment. Then he said reluctantly, "So soon?"
Ji Xiaoli nodded. "Yeah. If I delay any longer on the filming crew, people will start gossiping."
Although Zheng Nanfeng wanted to continue their alone time, he had always been Ji Xiaoli's supporter. This time, he didn't object either, but he was just a little reluctant.
Ji Xiaoli could tell what Zheng Nanfeng was thinking at a glance. She held Zheng Nanfeng's hand and comforted him.
"If I finish filming the scenes earlier, I can finish my work earlier and accompany you. Then we can go out and play again, okay?"
Hearing what Ji Xiaoli said, Zheng Nanfeng felt a little better. But when he thought that Ji Xiaoli was going to enter the filming crew again, he wasn't very happy.
But this was Ji Xiaoli's career, and he didn't want to say anything. He could only give her infinite support.
"Okay. Then I'll go back and pack my luggage. You go and say goodbye to Jason."
Ji Xiaoli nodded, and the two of them went their separate ways.
On the other hand, Tom was still determined to get revenge. He wanted to contact some people to take action when Ji Xiaoli went out.
Tom's subordinate frowned. "Boss, this isn't a good idea, is it? Didn't we say we couldn't touch her?"
Tom was furious. "If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, who will know it was me? Do you think I'll let that bitch go? No way!"
Tom's subordinate wanted to say something else, but when he saw Tom's distorted face, he wisely shut up.
A cruel look flashed in Tom's eyes. Bitch, how dare you offend me? You'll never have a good ending!
"Go and call a few people from the underworld. I don't believe I can't deal with her!"
Tom's subordinate hesitated for a while. Finally, under Tom's gaze, he nodded.
Anyway, if there were any consequences, he would just push them all onto Tom. He was just forced to do it.
But before Tom could take any action, Ji Xiaoli had already gone to say goodbye to Jason.
Hearing that Ji Xiaoli was leaving, Jason was also very surprised. He quickly tried to persuade her to stay.
"Are you leaving so soon? Why don't you stay for a few more days?"
Ji Xiaoli shook her head. "No. I've already had enough fun these two days. There are still my scenes in the filming crew. If I delay any longer, it won't be right."
Seeing that Ji Xiaoli had made up her mind, Jason had no choice but to let her go. "Okay then. Be careful on your way back. Pay attention to your safety. Come and play again when you're free."
Ji Xiaoli smiled. "I will."
After saying goodbye to Jason, the two of them set off on their way back.
On the way, Ji Xiaoli poked Zheng Nanfeng with her finger and looked at him with big, eager eyes.
Zheng Nanfeng got goosebumps all over. "What's up?"
Ji Xiaoli's eyes lit up. "Nanfeng, I have a bold idea."
Zheng Nanfeng raised his eyebrows. "Oh? Tell me about it."
Actually, this idea had popped up in Ji Xiaoli's mind several times, but this was the first time she had said it out loud.
