Chapter 9 The Second Task


Chapter 9 The Second Mission

Jiang Lingsi was originally waiting for news of the success of his mission, but unexpectedly he heard this series of warnings.

If Jiang Lingsi hadn't believed that there was nothing wrong with his mind, he would have suspected that he was hearing things and could only ask the system what was going on.

The system was silent for a while, and then gave its own speculation: [Probably the host's way of greeting is too old-fashioned and greasy, and he doesn't look like a good person. 】

【Am I old-fashioned? ! I'm greasy! ? 】Jiang Lingsi couldn't understand at all, 【Is there a bug in your brain circuit? ? I'll give you DeBug when I get back! 】

The system was speechless.

As soon as you start, you ask people if they know you, and you want them to remember you. In other words, wouldn't this be "Woman, do you know who I am?" "Woman, remember your man." "

Isn't the boss possessed? !

However, it was afraid that Jiang Ling would criticize the system, so it changed the topic at the right time:

[Congratulations to the host for completing the novice mission! Gain health for 15 days and 1000 experience points. 】

[The system has now been upgraded to level 2! Congratulations to the host for unlocking the [rough positioning] function! From now on, you can get the approximate direction of the target through this function! 】

As expected, Jiang Lingsi was in a good mood after learning that the mission was successful. He was too lazy to pursue what he just said and started to check out the new functions.

Now the right side of the system interface is no longer empty, but a circular map is added in the upper right corner.

Just like playing games, the blue arrow in the center of the map represents himself, while the red arrow that shifts along the border from time to time represents Xi Ruan's location.

Although the map is completely blank, not even a road map or terrain map, it will mark the straight-line distance between him and Xi Ruan.

He curled his lips with satisfaction, this was much more convenient.

Who knows, he was afraid of missing something in order to find her today, and he wished he could look at every corner.

Seeing that Jiang Lingsi was familiar with the new functions, the system started beeping again.

【Please note! The second novice mission will be released soon——]

Jiang Lingsi immediately began to read the content of the second mission, but as soon as he scanned it briefly, the smile on his lips froze.

——

The Bai family in Rongqiao City.

When Xi Ruan arrived home, Bai Yi had already come back and was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking out of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Bai Yi is studying at Deming International Department and ends school earlier than Xi Ruan.

Xi Ruan has always been a little uncomfortable in front of this step-sister. In the past, they could not see her when she lived on campus. During the holidays, she would hide in her room whenever possible, but now she can see her every day when she comes back. And have dinner with her.

However, after entering the door, Xi Ruan still smiled and waved to Bai Yi as usual, although he only received a cold nod in response.

Only at this time will she be glad that she is mute and does not need to speak.

"You two ladies, the meal is ready."

The servant came over to remind, reached out and took off Xi Ruan's schoolbag.

Xi Ruan nodded, turned around and washed his hands first.

Bai Yi stood up from the sofa with her arms folded, glanced at Xi Ruan's back, then frowned and looked at the female nanny who had picked up Xi Ruan, and said in a cold tone: "What's going on today?"

The female nanny stood respectfully next to Bai Yi and reported everything she saw to Bai Yi as usual.

"Are you sure? Jiang Lingsi was with Xi Ruan when you arrived?"

"Yes, miss, I can never mistake him for that appearance, and before he left, He also specifically asked the second lady to remember him. "

After receiving the definite answer, Bai Yi's fingers tightened on her arm, and a fierce murderous look flashed across her already fierce eyes.

"Look out for me from now on. Set off early every day to pick her up. Don't let Xi Ruan have any chance to come into contact with Jiang Lingsi in private. Do you understand?"

"If something happens in the future What's the accident...I'm asking you!"

The female nanny was frightened by Bai Yi's vicious eyes, trembling and lowering her head, and responded repeatedly, promising that she would never be late again.

Bai Yi nodded calmly and waved the nanny away. Seeing that Xi Ruan had already washed her hands, she took the lead in walking towards the restaurant.

——

Early the next morning, Xi Ruan and Bai Yi took the same car to school.

Xi Ruan glanced at Bai Yi, who was sitting diagonally opposite her.

The students in Deming International Department start school about one class later than them, and I don’t know why Bai Yi went so early today.

But she was not interested in exploring, and Bai Yi didn't want to be disturbed by her, so he took out his vocabulary book and memorized it with concentration.

Bai Yi leaned on her seat, folded her arms and looked at Xi Ruan sideways.

The soft sunlight in the morning spreads on her body through the car window. The girl's soft broken hair is shining through the light and blowing gently in the wind. Her quiet side face is as smooth as jade, her neck is slender and white, and she sits there with her hair hanging down. The serious look in his eyes makes people feel that the years are peaceful just by looking at him.

It’s just...

I don’t know what came to mind, Bai Yi’s eyes darkened, and his face was like a dark cloud covering the mountain.

“Xi Ruan.” Bai Yi suddenly said.

The girl who was interrupted by the voice raised her head, her amber eyes were clear and transparent in the sun, and she was extremely beautiful. Just looking into her eyes made people's hearts tremble.

Bai Yi pursed her lips, narrowed her eyes slightly, her gloomy expression changed again and again, and finally said, "You will be eighteen next year."

Xi Ruan blinked, not understanding this sentence for the time being. Words without beginning or end.

"You should know what you should do." Bai Yi added.

Xi Ruan's heart froze, he slightly lowered his eyelashes and nodded to Bai Yi.

She understands.

After she is admitted to college at the age of eighteen, she will leave the Bai family and will never stand in her way and rob her of her father's love that should belong to her alone.

——

Arrived in the classroom, Xi Ruan put down his schoolbag and started working on the papers.

In her limited life, dreams will be shattered, people will be separated and betrayed, and things will go against her wishes. It seems that only learning has never let her down.

Every bit of effort she puts in will be rewarded to her as a result on the test paper.

She likes her name to appear at the top of the list, and at that moment everyone can only look up to her.

This is probably... the only happiness she has left at the moment.

Xi Ruan squeezed the pen in her hand, abandoned distracting thoughts, and concentrated on doing the questions. She blocked out the laughter and bustle that gradually rose in the classroom.

When Liu Yue arrived in the classroom, she found that Xi Ruan had been writing with his head down.

As long as she sees her and thinks of what happened yesterday, she can't help but feel heartbroken.

In order to avoid causing trouble, she asked someone to delete the monitoring after she returned, only to find that it was completely broken.

That Jiang Lingsi actually played tricks on her just to tease Ruan!

And she wasted so much time just to fool those two girls by wasting her breath and inviting people to dinner!

Liu Yue was angry, but she also knew that this time it was because she was not safe enough and panicked.

She glanced at Xi Ruan again and saw the white mist behind her with a dark gray edge, and her anger calmed down instantly.

Humph, no matter how hard she studies, she can't make any big waves. This is the end of her luck, and she will be unlucky recently.

Thinking of this, Liu Yue felt better again.

Let her go during this period to prevent her classmates from becoming suspicious again.

——

The morning self-study period passed quickly, and Zou Qingqing came to ask Xi Ruan to have dinner with him.

Xi Ruan glanced at Liu Yue and Lu Xiaoping who were chatting and laughing behind her, shook her head with a smile, and found an excuse to refuse to join them.

After watching several people leave the classroom, the smile on Xi Ruan’s lips dropped, and he turned his head with eyes as cold as frost.

Does Liu Yue regard her as a fool? Do you really think she didn't mean it after what happened yesterday?

Just seeing her makes me sick. Eat with her? She was afraid that she would spit it out.

But on second thought, Xi Ruan couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Maybe Liu Yue didn't care whether she knew or not, but in Liu Yue's eyes, she, a mute who couldn't even speak, was like a weak ant that could be easily crushed to death by stretching out his fingers.

Just like yesterday, she didn't even have a chance to defend herself. If it weren't for that boy-

Xi Ruan's breathing suddenly slowed down, and a face appeared in his mind.

At this moment, a soft "squeak" sound came from the back of the quiet classroom, and then, a somewhat cold voice came into her ear canal.

"Xiaohao, let's go."

It's Jiang Lingsi. (End of chapter)
