The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

The hour and minute hands stopped, and were gently moved by an invisible hand, reversing time back to Roman, the capital of Idali, a few hours ago.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Rong Zhijin smiled apologetically and declined the fourth wave of crew members who invited him to go sightseeing in Roman, and closed the door of his room again.

Rong Zhijin breathed a sigh of relief, then lay back on the soft big bed in the room with a blank look in her eyes. A hint of melancholy appeared on her unmade-up face.

A few minutes later, her long eyelashes, as black as crow feathers, fluttered a few times and then half-closed as if she was taking a nap.

Her drooping eyelids concealed the slight sense of loss in her eyes, and also hid her true emotions.

——This is the fifth day since I followed Xu Yiyu to Yidali.

During these five days, except for the first two days when he went out for fun with his colleagues in the crew after waking up naturally, in the following days, Rong Zhijin basically did not go out except to eat in the hotel restaurant or buy things at the convenience store.

Maybe she was tired, or maybe she hadn't adjusted to the jet lag of the past few hours. She couldn't explain the reason, she just didn't want to go out.

Or...it's also because someone hasn't taken any action until today.

She clearly intended to do something during this funded holiday, but she didn't know what was holding her back. Every time she mustered up the courage to push the door and walk out, she would inexplicably back down.

Rong Zhijin herself couldn't explain what she was hesitating about.

She has never backed down and never had too many concerns when it comes to work and professional fields, but at this moment she feels inexplicably worried and anxious.

Chang Qing has been waiting for so long, will he...

Before the chaotic thoughts in her mind could be sorted out, the knock on the door brought her attention back from her wandering thoughts.

Rong Zhijin sat up suddenly, combed his long hair which was a little messy due to lack of care, then stood up and walked towards the door.

Looking out from the peephole, Rong Zhijin stood there for only a second, then opened the door as quickly as he could.

Chang Qing was just about to knock on the door for the second time, with his hand halfway raised, when he saw the door being opened by someone from inside the room.

After looking at Rong Zhijin, who looked a little surprised inside the door, for a few seconds, Chang Qing smiled slightly awkwardly and put his arm down somewhat unnaturally.

Rong Zhijin in the room had his face turned upside down, but his eyes seemed to be filled with countless stars, so bright that he could not look away.

"Ahem, Zhijin, are you free now? Do you want to come with me—"

"available."

Before Chang Qing finished the second half of his sentence, Rong Zhijin had already answered it.

After Rong Zhijin answered subconsciously, he seemed to realize that something was wrong with him. He quickly lowered his eyes and used his long hair on the side of his face to cover the slight blush that had already appeared on his cheeks.

"Wait for me, I'll go wash my face."

As if to extricate himself from this predicament, Rong Zhijin turned his head away, half-closed the door with a somewhat panicked tone, turned around and ran into the bathroom.

Chang Qing stared at the figure running back into the room, and did not come back to his senses for a long time until the door was ajar.

Zhijin's reaction...

It seemed that he was a little late, he should have knocked on this door a few days ago.

Rong Zhijin ran to the bathroom and washed his face as quickly as he could. He picked up the comb beside him and neatly combed his slightly messy long hair and tucked it behind his ears. He looked at the effect in the mirror for a few seconds, then combed out the left side of his hair with some dissatisfaction, looked at the effect in the mirror again, and walked out with reluctant satisfaction.

Before leaving Roman, Xu Yiyu gave each crew member an envelope that was so thick that it was almost impossible to hold. Inside was Euro banknotes and coins of various denominations.

Rong Zhijin just took a look at it and put it on the bedside without counting the specific amount. In the past few days, except for taking some smaller-denomination banknotes, he hardly touched the envelope.

After she walked out of the bathroom, she picked up her cell phone and room card and put them in her bag. After hesitating for a few seconds, she didn't take her coat, but just put the envelope full of euros directly into her bag.

"Sorry for the wait, let's go."

"it is good."

When Rong Zhijin came to the door again, she found Chang Qing leaning against the door with his arms folded, looking at her face gently with a faint smile on his face.

For some reason, after she looked away from Chang Qing involuntarily, the temperature of her cheek began to become hotter and hotter.

The two of them walked out of the hotel door side by side, looking at the busy streets in the city center, which suddenly became quiet.

"How about we just go wherever we want today and not look at the map?"

Chang Qing looked at Rong Zhijin, who was only wearing a navy blue long-sleeved shirt, as if asking for his opinion. His brows suddenly furrowed slightly, as if he remembered something.

"Okay, then let's--"

Rong Zhijin looked at her outfit today with some confusion. Just as she was about to ask something, she saw Chang Qing quickly took off his coat and put it on her shoulders.

When wrapped in this coat full of Chang Qing's scent, Rong Zhijin just raised his eyes to look at Chang Qing, whose brows had finally relaxed, and could not utter a word of refusal at all.

The refreshing smell of laundry detergent on the coat and the remaining warmth inside the coat enveloped Rong Zhijin from behind. She felt that her senses had suddenly become countless times sharper. Apart from Chang Qing's voice, she could only hear her own breathing.

Suddenly, she felt a chill on her exposed calves. Rong Zhijin subconsciously looked down and instantly understood why Chang Qing gave her the coat.

The summer in Yidali is not that hot, and sometimes the wind can even bring a hint of coolness and chill.

The cropped pants she hurriedly put on today were obviously not enough to resist the cold. Fortunately, Chang Qing's coat with body temperature prevented her from shivering like a sieve as she was always afraid of the cold.

"……Thanks."

"Why are you being so polite to me? Let's go."

Chang Qing smiled as usual, gestured in a direction to Rong Zhijin, and walked naturally to the outside of the road near the traffic.

It was as if he was still the Chang Qing who had always stood behind her and protected her. Everything was exactly the same.

For some reason, Rong Zhijin suddenly felt a little depressed in his heart. He turned around and walked forward in the direction Chang Qing pointed, his eyelids drooping slightly, and it seemed that something in his chest was roaring wildly.

Chang Qing is taller than Rong Zhijin. As there are a lot of people coming and going, the two of them walk forward almost shoulder to shoulder. Chang Qing's hand would occasionally touch Rong Zhijin's hand in the crowded crowd.

Rong Zhijin, who was usually brisk and capable, felt that she suddenly became different from her usual self today. It seemed that in this foreign country that was very unfamiliar to both of them, there was a voice in her heart urging her to change something.

The skin that was touched by Chang Qing's hands seemed to have retained the warmth of the person beside him, making it impossible for Rong Zhijin to ignore his presence.

After the two of them walked quietly along the street for a few hundred meters, Chang Qing quietly glanced at Rong Zhijin, who seemed to be in a low mood, and slowly stopped.

Rong Zhijin took a few more steps with her head slightly lowered, and then she realized that the person beside her was gone. She subconsciously looked back and saw Chang Qing standing a few steps away from her, staring at a storefront inside in a daze.

"You are looking at..."

"Zhijin, wait a minute! I'll be back soon."

Before Rong Zhijin finished her words, Chang Qing suddenly turned around and said to her abruptly, then turned around and rushed into the store he had been looking at.

She looked into the store with some confusion, but didn't see Chang Qing for a moment.

——This is a very popular ice cream shop. Almost every customer who walks out of the shop holds a crispy cone ice cream of different colors in their hands, and their expressions are very satisfied when they enjoy it.

She couldn't help but start making some guesses in her mind, and even the dullness of the unknown origin was diluted a lot.

Maybe something will really change today.
