“Hi~ Can you still think?”
The white-haired girl casually flicked off the now somewhat coagulated blood from her dagger, slid it into her tactical thigh holster, and took a step forward.
Her left hand was behind her back, she bent slightly, tilted her head up, and flashed a sunny smile in front of Lu Zhizhi.
It was as if the two had just bumped into each other on the street and were greeting each other lightly.
Unlike the old maggot, Jiang Yin’s understanding of Lu Zhizhi almost entirely came from Qv Si Nan’s mouth.
Not to mention after the transformation—even before it, she had only seen this Lu Heiress twice, and both times were fleeting, without a single proper conversation.
She only knew this Heiress seemed to… be a little averse to men.
“Just barely.”
But the Heiress’s ability to accept the current situation far exceeded Jiang Yin’s expectations.
She glanced at Qv Si Nan, who was standing silently by the door with a cold face, rubbed her brow, and pushed the door open, stepping aside.
“But I don’t really understand the situation. Want to come in and talk?”
“It’s really smelly in here.”
“It’s fine~”
The girl waved her hand cutely, noticed that Qv Si Nan was still standing in front of the elevator unmoving, and ran over to forcefully drag her inside.
Looking around briefly, it was completely different from Qv Si Nan’s ‘home’.
Lu Zhizhi was clearly an Heiress who loved life but was a bit lazy.
The Living Room was decorated with thoughtful details everywhere—stuffed toys, cat climbing frame, Roomba, oven—various objects all had stickers and sticky notes attached, and some spots even had more stuffed toys arranged.
A soft carpet covered the entire floor, with hardly a speck of dust… this was definitely a place regularly cleaned by Housekeeper Service.
When they entered, Lu Zhizhi had already turned on the central air conditioning in the Living Room.
The high-power ventilation fan was running but barely made any noise.
There was only a faint trace of corpse stench drifting in, quickly dissipating.
“Not bad.”
“Thanks for the compliment.”
“Tea or a drink?”
“Tea.”
Jiang Yin hadn’t drunk any sweetened beverages besides coffee and cocktails for a long time, so she answered casually.
Then she watched as Lu Zhizhi took two bottles of Tea Pi from the fridge…
“Even Heiresses drink this?”
Jiang Yin choked, feeling that Lu Zhizhi wasn’t as out of touch as she had imagined.
“If I said I wanted a drink, would you…”
Before she could finish, she saw Lu Zhizhi take out two more bottles of Cola, one red and one blue, drinking the blue one herself and tossing the red one to Qv Si Nan.
She didn’t exchange a word with her, instead smiling at Jiang Yin.
“This is convenient. Anyway, I go to the gym every week and work out at home, so taking in a bit more sugar isn’t a problem.”
“Besides, compared to afternoon tea, my sugar intake is already pretty low.”
“That’s true.”
Even though many desserts in Huaxia had already reduced sugar compared to the birthplace of afternoon tea and its British gentlemen, dessert was still dessert—high oil and sugar actually made it even less healthy than drinks that only had extra sugar.
“You don’t seem surprised at all?”
“Compared to ordinary people, we have access to more information sources. News about the Monster Incident spreads quickly in wealthy circles.”
Lu Zhizhi shrugged.
“You know, everyone’s afraid of dying.”
“Most importantly…”
“You had someone follow me, didn’t you? Uncle Li again?”
Qv Si Nan rolled her eyes and spoke for the first time since entering.
“Nannan knows me best~”
“You really…”
They’d already broken up, so Qv Si Nan didn’t need to be polite anymore.
“You really are just like Auntie.”
‘Snap…’
As her words fell, Jiang Yin saw the drink bottle in Lu Zhizhi’s hand warp under her grip, but her face remained perfectly smiling.
“Nannan, do you hate me that much?”
“I’m just telling the truth.”
Qv Si Nan shrugged, about to continue, but Jiang Yin interrupted.
“We don’t have much time. You can argue as much as you want later.”
The white-haired girl pulled out her Certificate directly.
Others might not understand the value of a blank-cover Certificate, but she believed Lu Zhizhi definitely knew what it meant.
Without showing the inner identity information, Jiang Yin put the Certificate back in her pocket and explained simply.
“You saw it just now. You’ve been drawn into the Monster Incident, and you’re the Second Risk Victim.”
“This place is no longer safe. Next, I need you to act calmly and rationally with me, for your own safety.”
“Who is the First Risk Person?
Although she already knew in her heart, Lu Zhizhi was still curious to confirm.
“Here~
Jiang Yin pointed at Qv Si Nan.
“Your unlucky ex-girlfriend.”
“Hahahahaha.
Lu Zhizhi laughed.
“That actually feels pretty good. Kind of like a doomsday escape.”
“Wait a moment, I’ll change into clothes that are easier to move in. Don’t worry, three minutes at most.”
“Why do I feel like she’s in a really good mood?”
Jiang Yin looked at Lu Zhizhi’s departing figure, blinking in confusion.
“Is her brain abnormal?”
“Sometimes you really are blunt.”
Qv Si Nan’s expression was complicated, but after thinking, she complimented.
“But honestly, that’s just my style right now.”
“I can hear you!
A stifled, furious shout came from the Bedroom—
This person had deliberately left the door ajar just to eavesdrop.
But she ended up hearing nothing useful, only the two of them talking about her being crazy.
What kind of people were they!
Could they not be a little tense! They were being targeted by a Monster and could die at any moment!
“Oh~”
Jiang Yin suddenly understood and shouted loudly toward the Bedroom.
“You’re happy that Qv Si Nan and I aren’t actually in a relationship, right?”
“Relax, relax~ There’s no such thing as being kept.”
Hearing the girl’s explanation, Lu Zhizhi, who had just taken off her home clothes, couldn’t help but smile.
She knew it.
Even though Nannan liked to play, she still…
“We’re still in the Ambiguous Period, we haven’t started dating.”
“You lunatic—!”
Lu Zhizhi wanted to storm out in her underwear and scratch that damned white hair until her face was covered in marks, but in the end, she held back.
…Mainly because she couldn’t win.
She took a deep breath, calming her slightly heaving chest, telling herself not to get angry.
Quickly, she pulled on her sweatpants.
Jiang Yin shrugged.
“Who was the one doubting my sanity just now… By the way, is the Heiress really sick?”
“Bipolar Mania, but it’s mild.”
“No wonder.”
Jiang Yin nodded in understanding and called out again.
“Remember to take your meds! Don’t lose it later!”
“You should remember to take your meds!”
Lu Zhizhi yanked open the Bedroom door, storming out and roaring at Jiang Yin.
The veins on her face stood out; she was clearly truly angry now.
But Jiang Yin nodded in satisfaction.
“That’s more like it.”
“…What does that mean?”
“Nothing. Just that you seem more alive this way~”
The weak burning sensation on her wrist finally faded, and Jiang Yin breathed a soft sigh of relief.
This job is really tough.
So many hidden traps.
