Quick Travel: When the host of Meimeijiao is bound to the birth system

Shen Yao smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay."

Xu Zhi added: "If you finish first, I will be there soon, so you can go to the car and wait for me."

Shen Yao: "Okay, if you finish first, and I haven't replied to your message for ten minutes, you don't have to wait for me. I'll call a designated driver later."

If she really had to wait, she would not want to keep people waiting too long.

But who would have thought that Xu Zhi did not agree. He said, "No need. I will wait no matter how late it is." Anyway, it was not the first time he had waited.

Then he quickly added as if to explain: "It's mainly because you were alone and had been drinking. I'm not very reassured."

Shen Yao was startled and was about to say...

At this moment, the system suddenly reminded her, "Host, Zhou Cheng and Zhao Ming have finished smoking and talking over there, and they seem to be preparing to go back to the private room. If you don't want Xu Zhi to run into them head-on, it's almost time for him to go back now."

Shen Yao's heart suddenly tightened, and she quickly said to Xu Zhi: "Okay, then it's settled. No matter who finishes first, we'll both wait for the other."

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Well, okay."

Shen Yao quickly glanced at the other corridor over there. When she didn't see Zhou Cheng and Zhao Ming, she was no longer so nervous. Knowing that it would probably take them a while to come over, she spoke at a normal pace and said, "I've been out for quite some time. I should go back to work. You should go back and eat too. We'll see you later."

Xu Zhiduo looked at her a few more times and said, "Okay."

Shen Yao smiled and said, "Then I'll leave first."

Xu Zhi did not forget to remind him: "Well, remember to drink less wine. If you really can't avoid it, pour it out quietly."

Shen Yao couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, I understand."

Then she left first, and Xu Zhi stood there watching her walk back to the private room.

She walked past the rockery and vegetation, and when she reached the entrance of the private room, she suddenly stopped. Knowing that he was still there watching her, she turned around and looked at him from a distance, then smiled and waved at him, indicating that he should go back early, before continuing to walk inside.

Xu Zhi smiled, and only turned around and walked back when he could no longer see her back.

He had only taken a few steps when Zhou Cheng and Zhao Ming came to the entrance of the private room from another corridor. Then, Zhao Ming looked in his direction a few times as if he had sensed something, and then narrowed his eyes in some confusion.

"What's wrong with you? Did you see someone familiar?" Zhou Cheng saw him suddenly stop and look to the other side, so he followed his gaze and asked.

But Zhao Ming just adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said, "Nothing, let's go."

……

After Xu Zhi returned to the private room, part of the dishes they ordered had been served. Zhu Xu asked him if he had finished his call.

Xu Zhi: "Well, it's over."

Zhu Xu smiled and sighed, "You are also busy. It is not easy to deal with work while eating. Come, brother, let me toast you."

Xu Zhi poured himself a cup of tea and raised it to him: "I'll drink tea instead of wine. I won't drink alcohol today."

Zhu Xu advised: "This wine is not strong, just drink it to relax yourself."

Xu Zhi refused: "I can't drink. I have something else to do tonight."

Zhu Xu smiled mysteriously: "Are you going to continue the party? With the buddy who is also here?"

It has to be said that the gossip king's sensitivity to gossip is often quick and accurate.

……

Shen Yao's conversation ended early. In fact, after achieving their goal, Zhou Cheng and Zhao Ming didn't have much energy to talk to her anymore.

Naturally, she would be happy to finish it early.

When leaving, Zhou Cheng politely asked her if she needed a ride, but Shen Yao refused, saying that she drove here.

Zhou Cheng and Zhao Ming didn't say anything more and separated from her in the hall.

Shen Yao went to the parking lot and sat in her car to rest. After she saw Zhou Cheng and Zhao Ming's car leave the villa with her own eyes, she sent a message to Xu Zhi, saying that she was waiting for him in the car.

Xu Zhi replied quickly and said that he would be there in about ten minutes.

After Shen Yao sent a nodding rabbit emoticon in reply, she put her phone down, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes to rest.

……

In the private room.

Zhu Xu looked at Xu Zhi who suddenly asked him to get to the point with a serious expression, and was a little confused. "What's wrong? Are you busy? No, what do you mean? Which of my words is not the point?"

Xu Zhi was silent, and suddenly he had the urge to just be an online friend of his.

Zhu Xu took the initiative to admit defeat: "Ok ok, I know you are anxious, I promise to only talk about the key points..."

Although they had made a sudden appointment to meet today, they actually had some serious business to discuss.

Zhu Xu likes to speak slowly. Once he starts talking, he will talk nonstop and sometimes go off topic. Even when he is talking about serious matters, he will go off topic from time to time. Some impatient people can be driven crazy by talking to him.

But Xu Zhi has always been able to understand this and rarely urged him. The main reason was that Xu Zhi knew that this habit of his was due to his job. When collecting some hard-to-capture information, he needed to disguise himself. In addition, he had to always speak in a way that was three-tenths true and seven-tenths false without being too hypocritical, so he often needed to fill it with some nonsense.

Over time, it became a habit. This ensured that his quick mouth, which was already careless, would not leak any secrets, and it also gave his brain some time to react and think.

Precisely because Xu Zhi understood him, he usually didn’t push him too much, but today was an exception.

He didn't want Shen Yao to wait for him too long.

Zhu Xu was not stupid. After all, today was the first time that Xu Zhi urged him so directly, so there must be something going on. So he did not waste any more of Xu Zhi's time. Besides, they had already had their meal for an hour, which was not a short time.

When Xu Zhi left, he not only left before Zhu Xu, but also settled the bill.

Zhu Xu:?

He said he would treat us?

……

When Shen Yao opened her eyes and was about to find some water to drink in the car, Xu Zhi came over and knocked on her car window.

The car door opened, and Xu Zhi sat in the main driver's seat. After closing the door, he looked at Shen Yao, who was sitting in the passenger seat and looked a little tired and listless, and asked her, "Are you going home now?"

Shen Yao nodded and said, "Let's go."

On the way back, Shen Yao's eyes seemed a little vacant, and she looked like she was thinking about something.

Xu Zhi asked her, "Are you too tired from your part-time job today?"

Shen Yao opened a bottle of purified water, brought it to her mouth, drank two sips, and said softly: "No, I'm not tired, I just suddenly felt that the world is impermanent, and I feel a little sad."

In fact, when she closed her eyes to rest just now, she asked the system to help her check Xu Sheng's life experience. After learning about it, she found out that he lived a sunny and passionate life, just like a sunflower that strives to bloom upwards, with its stem tall and straight, and it can raise its head vigorously even under the scorching sun without a trace of droop.

A person like him should have lived a brilliant and passionate life, but unfortunately——

Encountered villains like Zhou Cheng and Zhao Ming, as well as the unshakable umbrella of protection behind them.

Even after death, there is no peace.

In order to smooth over what happened back then, Zhou Cheng and Zhao Ming fabricated several bad deeds for him. Now that more than two years have passed, they can still go back and make up some more just to cover up what happened back then more firmly.

In their eyes, other people's lives are nothing, only their own interests are the most important.

Shen Yao didn't even see a trace of apology, guilt, regret, debt, panic or sadness in their eyes.

This matter has a strong impact.

After she came to her senses, she could fully understand why Xu Zhi had persisted for so long, no matter how difficult it was, even if it might cost him half his life.

At this moment, she even wanted to tell Xu Zhi directly that she would accompany him to break through the protective umbrella covering Xiaojin, and she was not afraid of anything.

But after calming down, she felt that it was too strange to say this suddenly. After all, Xu Zhi had never talked to her in detail about his brother.

So she should just wait. When the day comes when he is willing to take the initiative to bring it up, it won't be too late for her to express her attitude.

Now there is another problem. The task assigned to her by the security organization is only to hide and collect information and evidence, but she is not allowed to alert the enemy. Therefore, she must keep calm and not reveal any flaws in front of Zhou Cheng and Zhao Ming, nor can she rush forward and do anything in a fit of rage.

"What happened?" Xu Zhi suddenly asked her.

"Hmm?" Shen Yao turned her head to look at him, her eyes flashing, "Nothing."

The traffic light ahead is red.

After Xu Zhi braked the car, he looked at her bright eyes and asked softly, "Were you wronged? Were you bullied? Was it during your part-time job today?"

He rarely saw her so depressed, so he was still very worried, afraid that something had happened to her but she had no one to talk to.

Shen Yao just shook her head and said, "No."

The street light turned green and Xu Zhi continued driving forward.

After passing the intersection in front of him, he heard Shen Yao say: "I just... suddenly have a partner who I want to fight side by side with. I want to do something more just and cool with him."

She smiled after she finished speaking, but Xu Zhi only felt a wave of bitterness and complexity in his heart when he heard it.

Who is this partner she is talking about?

Could it be someone I met at my part-time job today?

Or maybe, her boss?

Xu Zhi's eyes darkened, and an indescribable complex emotion swept over him.

The car was still moving forward at a steady speed and was about to pass an area where a long stretch of road was under maintenance and the street lights had been turned off for unknown reasons.

At the moment Xu Zhi drove the car past, the lights on the entire road suddenly lit up at the same time, instantly illuminating all the roads ahead.

At the same time, Shen Yao's gentle and firm voice sounded in his ears:

"I hope we can be - invincible."
