Chapter 9 The Second Mission

Jiang Lingsi was waiting for the news that his mission was successful, but unexpectedly he heard a series of warnings instead.

If he didn't believe that there was nothing wrong with his brain, Jiang Lingsi would have suspected that he was hallucinating and could only question the system what was going on.

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

[I'm old-fashioned?! I'm greasy!?] Jiang Lingsi couldn't understand it at all, [Is there a bug in your brain circuit!? I'll fix it for you when I get back!]

The system is speechless.

Asking people if they know you and wanting them to remember you right away, isn't this a different way of saying "Woman, do you know who I am?" or "Woman, remember your man's name."

Is it because the boss is possessed? !

However, it was afraid that Jiang Ling would scold the system if he told the truth, so it changed the subject at the right time:

[Congratulations to the host for completing the novice mission! Gain 15 days of health 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 use this function to obtain the approximate location of the target! ]

Sure enough, Jiang Lingsi was in a good mood after learning that the mission was successful. He was too lazy to pursue what had just been said and began 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 a game, the blue arrow in the center of the map represents himself, while the red arrow that occasionally shifts along the border represents Xi Ruan's location.

Although the map is blank and there is not even a route map or topographic map, it will mark the straight-line distance between him and Xi Ruan.

He curled his lips in satisfaction. This was much more convenient.

God knows that he was so afraid of missing anything in order to find her today that he wanted to check every corner.

Seeing that Jiang Lingsi had become 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 task, but after just a quick glance, the smile on his lips froze.

Bai family in Rongqiao City.

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

Bai Yi studies in the De Ming International Department and finishes school earlier than Xi Ruan.

Xi Ruan has always felt a little uncomfortable in front of her stepsister. She couldn't see her before when she lived in the school dormitory, and she would hide in her room during the holidays. But now she can see her every day when she comes home, and even have dinner with her.

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

Only at times like this would she be glad that she was mute and didn't have to speak.

"Ladies, the meal is ready."

The servant came over to remind her and took off Xi Ruan's schoolbag.

Xi Ruan nodded and turned to wash her hands first.

Bai Yi stood up from the sofa with his arms folded, glanced at Xi Ruan's back, then frowned and looked at the female nanny who brought Xi Ruan back, and asked in a cold tone: "What happened today?"

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

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

"Yes, Miss. I could never mistake him for someone like that. Besides, he even asked the Second Miss to remember him before he left."

After getting a definite answer, Bai Yi tightened the fingers that were holding his arm, and his eyes, which were already full of ferocious intent, flashed with a sinister murderous look.

"Watch out for me from now on. Leave early every day to pick her up. Don't let Xi Ruan have any chance to contact Jiang Lingsi privately. Do you understand?"

"If anything unexpected happens in the future... I'll hold you accountable!"

The female nanny was frightened by Bai Yi's vicious eyes. She lowered her head tremblingly, and nodded repeatedly, promising that she would never be late again.

Bai Yi nodded indifferently, waved goodbye to the nanny, and seeing that Xi Ruan had already washed her hands, she walked towards the restaurant first.

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 of De Ming International Department go to school about one class period 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 probably didn't want to be disturbed by her, so she took out her vocabulary notebook and started memorizing it attentively.

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

The soft sunlight of the early morning shone through the car window onto her body. The girl's soft hair fluttered in the wind, her quiet profile was as smooth as jade, her slender neck was white, and she sat there with her eyes lowered and her serious look made people feel that time was peaceful at a glance.

only……

I don’t know what Bai Yi was thinking about, but his eyes darkened and his face looked as dark as a mountain.

"Xi Ruan." Bai Yi suddenly spoke.

The girl who was interrupted by the voice raised her head. Her amber eyes were clear and transparent in the sunlight. She was extremely beautiful. Just looking into her eyes would make people's hearts tremble.

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

Xi Ruan blinked, not understanding this nonsensical sentence for the time being.

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

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

She understands.

After she was admitted to university at the age of eighteen, she would leave the Bai family and never get in her way again, snatching the father's love that should belong to her alone.

When he arrived at the classroom, Xi Ruan put down his schoolbag and started doing the test paper.

In her limited life, dreams may be shattered, people may separate and betray her, and things may go against her wishes, but it seems that only learning has never let her down.

Every bit of effort she puts in will be rewarded to her in the form of grades on the test paper.

She loved having her name appear at the top of the list, and at that moment everyone could only look up to her.

This is probably... her only remaining happiness.

Xi Ruan clenched the pen in her hand, put aside all distractions, and concentrated on doing the questions. She blocked out the laughter and bustle that was gradually rising in the classroom.

When Liu Yue arrived at the classroom, she found Xi Ruan writing with his head down.

Whenever she saw her and thought about what happened yesterday, she couldn't help but feel sad.

In order to avoid further trouble, she asked someone to delete the surveillance video after she returned, only to find that it was broken.

That Jiang Lingsi actually tricked her for Xi Ruan!

In order to fool those two girls, she had to waste so much time and energy talking and treating them to meals!

Liu Yue was furious, but she also knew that this was because she was not careful enough and panicked.

She glanced at Xi Ruan again and saw the white mist behind her with a layer of dark gray on the edges. Her anger subsided instantly.

Humph, no matter how much she studies, she won’t be able to make any big waves. This is the extent of her luck, and she’s had some bad luck recently.

Thinking of this, Liu Yue felt better.

Let her go for now to prevent her classmates from getting suspicious.

-

The morning self-study session passed quickly, and Zou Qingqing came to call Xi Ruan to have lunch together.

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

After watching several people leave the classroom, Xi Ruan's smile faded and she turned her head with eyes as cold as frost.

Did Liu Yue think she was a fool? Did she really think that after what happened yesterday, she still thought she didn't mean it?

Just seeing her made her feel sick. Eating with her? She was afraid she would vomit.

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

Maybe Liu Yue didn't care whether she knew it or not. I'm afraid that in Liu Yue's eyes, she, a mute who couldn't even speak, was like a weak ant who could be easily crushed to death with just a finger.

Just like yesterday, she didn't even have the chance to defend herself. If it wasn't for that boy——

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

Just at this moment, a slight "creak" 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.
