CH 28

Ran Muxun was currently eating breakfast downstairs.

The little lunatic said: “Host, Luo Bailing is truly pitiful ah……but, Host, the capture target’s blackening value has already dropped to 80, and the favourability value towards you has risen to 99!”

Ran Muxun raised her eyebrows, she was indeed a little surprised. 

She didn’t expect that merely taking care of him while he was faking a fever, could reduce his blackening value by 10 points. 

It looks like, she should be a little more gentle and soft towards him, this way, it would help her constantly ease down his degree of blackening. 

And Luo Bailing’s situation in the basement……

She must always keep up a simple and pure, innocent and naïve façade, she cannot let him find out that she had long already knew about it……

Otherwise, he will break the jar, and show her a complete blackening!

She will……step by step, slowly “be softly won over by him”, and then……

“Fall in love with him.”

This way, even if his entire heart is black, in front of her, he would still always show that gentle and considerate appearance……

Then the world wouldn’t collapse, the mission would also be considered complete.

Si Jinze came down, “Ranran, I’m going on a business trip for a few days……these days your eyes make things inconvenient, don’t randomly run around by yourself……if you need anything just call for Aunt Liu, she is back from her leave.”

“Okay, Jinze gege.”

Ran Muxun said agreeably. 

However, she felt anxious in her heart……

Suddenly saying he needs to go on a business trip for a few days, is it possible that it’s really to finish off……

Si Jinzhi?

Or is it……

Luo Bailing?

No matter what it is, right now she could only take the measures necessary for the situation. 1

The next morning, Ran Muxun watched Si Jinze’s car leave, finally breathing a sigh of relief. 

Finally there’s some time to relax a little for a few days. 

The little lunatic quietly said: “Host, I think you are relaxing way too soon……”

If its voice didn’t carry some faint excitement, she would probably believe it had only wanted to warn her……

However, the little lunatic’s words were indeed correct. 

At dusk, Ran Muxun finished eating the dinner Aunt Liu specifically made for her, entered the bathroom, then, heard the sound of a door softly opening……

She originally thought it was Aunt Liu coming in to clean up the dishes, but the little lunatic excitedly said: “Host, it’s Si Jinze!! Didn’t I just say that he wouldn’t so easily leave the host here by herself for a few days!!”

The nerves that weren’t easy for Ran Muxun to let relax for a while, were tense once again. 

On the other side, Si Jinze gave a look at the bathroom door, listening to the sound of water coming out from inside, his Adam’s apple moved……

After hesistating for a while, he didn’t approach the bathroom, but instead walked to the side of the bed……

He picked up her quilt, then put on a new one that was exactly the same. 

Just as he wanted to leave, the phone on the bedside table vibrated. 

The name on it……

“Ji Xun”?

Si Jinze narrowed his eyes, his whole body exuding a dangerous breath. 

That guy Luo Bailing recruited…….actually has his Ranran’s phone number?

He glanced towards the bathroom, heard that the sound of water had not stopped, picked up the phone, pressed the button to answer the call and put it to his ear, from the other side of the line, Ji Xin’s gentle and magnetic voice came through:

“Muxun, this is Ji Xun……you didn’t catch a cold from that day, did you? I’m truly so sorry, it was all because I wasn’t careful……”

Si Jinze didn’t speak. 

Ji Xun on the other end only felt that it was a little weird, but sill continued to speak: “Right, has Bailing contacted you in the past two days? I don’t seem to have seen her at all in these two days…..”

Si Jinze narrowed his eyes, and opened his mouth: “She is showering.”

“……”

On the other end, Ji Xun’s voice was a little blocked up, only after a long time did he uncertainly say: “Si……Jinze?”

“It’s me.”

1. 兵来降挡，水来土掩 but I suspect there is a misspelled character and the actual idiom is 兵来将挡，水来土掩: Literally: confront soldiers with generals and stop water with earth, to adopt measures appropriate to the actual situation.
