Chapter 806 is good; he's not pretentious at all now.
Chapter 806 is good; he's not pretentious at all now.
It was midday in Kyoto.
Zhou Yichen, who had been eagerly awaiting a call from his sweetheart, finally received the call.
The emptiness in his heart was immediately filled when he heard Chu Xin's extremely calm "Hey," and a pleasant smile appeared on his lips.
But I still felt a little wronged, "I've been waiting for your call for so long."
Chu Xin was initially surprised, but then her expression turned serious as she realized something. "What's wrong? Has Lu Jianshe stirred up trouble again?"
It's best not to do it in front of your family, otherwise...
While she was brimming with murderous intent, Zhou Yichen on the other end of the phone felt utterly dejected; the pleasant mood he had just felt vanished in an instant.
"...No, I thought you would call me immediately."
Chu Xin:......
This time, I sensed something was off. Was she unhappy because she hadn't called earlier?
Isn't this man being a bit dramatic?
She asked directly, "Zhou Yichen, are you angry with me?"
How could Zhou Yichen dare to say he was angry? Even if he was, he was angry at himself for not being able to go out with Chu Xin.
So he quickly denied it, "No, no, I just... I just miss you a little."
Because of the vast distance between them, Zhou Yichen spoke shamelessly without any burden, since the person opposite him couldn't see his already burning face.
For some reason, Chu Xin's heart skipped a beat, and she felt her face burning.
With staff members watching over them, it was difficult to say things directly. Chu Xin turned to look out the window, fanned herself with her hand, and quickly mumbled a message to Zhou Yichen, "Ahem, um, I know, I know."
Zhou Yichen could tell from the fact that her voice was not very clear and had a deliberate cough that she was in a position to speak because there was someone with her.
I could only sadly put aside my thoughts and get down to business.
"How are things on your end? Have you contacted Su Zihang yet?"
"Oh, by the way, Comrade Wei called me. He said you did a great job on the task and praised your abilities highly. He also suggested giving you a reward, which I've already reported to Elder Ge."
As for the comment that Chu Xin was murderous, Zhou Yichen took it as a compliment.
"No, I'm still near the train station. I ran into some trouble and ended up staying at a government-run guesthouse." Chu Xin said, glancing at the staff member before lowering her voice to express her suspicions.
Zhou Yichen felt heartbroken upon hearing this. How could she have encountered people from Japan right after getting off the train? She hadn't even had a proper rest before having to think about how to deal with them. It was as if Chu Xin hadn't had a single day of peace since boarding the train.
She couldn't help but regret not coming with him. "...Letting you face all this alone, Chu Xin, I...I feel pretty useless."
Chu Xin's attention was immediately drawn to Zhou Yichen's emotions. "No way, you're being too anxious. Zhou Yichen, you're a grown man, don't tell me you have separation anxiety."
Besides, shouldn't I be happy that I'm capable?
Taking a train is nothing, fighting enemies is nothing. Back then, she single-handedly charged into the zombie lair several times and still managed to escape unscathed.
Even if she doesn't sleep for days and nights, she still goes back to doing what she was doing when she gets back. With an iron will, she never relies on men, but on herself.
She really couldn't agree with Zhou Yichen's sentimental approach.
Zhou Yichen, whose heart had suddenly turned as still as water: ...
Great, he's not pretentious at all now.
After a moment of silence, he changed the subject, "Should I send someone over?"
Zhou Yichen really wanted to go there himself, but the current situation didn't allow it.
