I've raided Chou Kyungsu five times.  

Each time in a different mold. 

Every time it was a beautiful woman. 

The last time, he looked at me condescendingly:

“Cho Young-eun, stop licking. I'd know you if you turned into ashes. 

“To tell you the truth, I wouldn't be with you even if I jumped from here.”

I resigned myself to waiting for another erase from the system. 

After waking up again, the system asked me:  

[Host, do you want to change the target of your strategy? 

1 

I stood in front of the mirror and surveyed my appearance.

Like the previous five times, this time it was still a beautiful woman. 

Long legs.

Wasp waist. 

Swan neck.  

Palm face. 

Bright eyes and white teeth. 

I'd fall in love with her if I even looked at her. 

Why is Zhou Jingxiu not interested? 

His decisive voice from the last life rang in my ears:

“Zhao You En, stop licking, I know you even if you turn into ashes. 

“To tell you the truth, I wouldn't be with you even if I jumped from here.”  

It was his words that declared me a failure for the fifth time, and three days later I was killed in a car accident. 

Open my eyes again, I became ...... 

Song Gardenia.

That's right, this is my current name. 

23 years old, is a just graduated not long ago company social animal. 

2 

I lay on the couch for a while before the system arrived late.  

This is the sixth time we've worked together. 

Counting up, we are also old partners. 

[Host, just went to the headquarters for a meeting, that's why I was late for a while.] 

I don't really care, there's nothing wrong with myself anyway. 

[Feeling better? I'm sorry that I let you die a little bit in my last life, but that was the quickest and most direct way.

[This time, the two of us will work on the scenario properly, I don't believe we can't take that Zhou Jingxiu.]

The system chattered in his head.  

I've heard this five times already and basically don't expect anything. 

“Wait, what's going on? 

“Why is there an additional option for the Raider slot? 

“Cheng Xingye? Isn't he Zhou Jingxiu's buddy?”

Hearing the system's startled voice, I was surprised to look at the virtual screen in front of me and realized that the situation this time was indeed not quite the same as before. 

As the system said, the target character of the raid this time had an additional name.

Cheng Xingye.  

What's the situation? 

Does it mean I can choose between these two? 

3 

After a long time, the system's slightly excited voice sounded again: 

[Hey, host, guess what? It turns out that from this month onwards, the Book Wearing Bureau is reforming, and the target of the raid can choose any one of the two options.

I'm sorry, I fell asleep during the meeting this afternoon, and I just asked my coworkers before I figured it out.

How's it going? Are you going to change your target this time?  

[Cheng Xing Ye, I feel that he's quite handsome, however, all handsome men are difficult to handle, I have a psychological shadow.] 

It's not just the system that has mental shadows, in fact, I have them too. 

Having been ga'd five times in a row, Ṭù₊ experienced a series of normal or abnormal deaths from cancer, shootings, and car accidents.

I was really a little scared. 

Before, there might have been a fantasy that I would make Zhou Jingxiu fall in love with me. 

But now, I just want to keep myself alive.

4  

I didn't know Cheng Xingye too well, but I had come into contact with him a few times. 

After all, I have been raiding Zhou Jingxiu since I was sixteen years old, and Cheng Xingye is one of Zhou Jingxiu's closest buddies. 

In Shanghai City, and with the surname Cheng, his identity was immediately obvious.

I wasn't quite sure which type of girl this Cheng Prince was more attracted to, so I spent the entire weekend at home reviewing all those events and occasions in previous lifetimes where I had come into contact with him. 

After combing through the timeline of my previous lives, I was surprised to find that I seemed to have crossed paths with Cheng Xingye in one way or another in each of my lives.

When I met him in the first life, we were in the same school. 

I was in my first year of high school, and both he and Zhou Jingxiu were in their second year of high school, and both were in the same class.  

At that time, I had just been bound by the system not long ago, raid target Zhou Jingxiu. 

Almost every day, I went to the door of their classroom to report. 

Sometimes I sent water to Zhou Jingxiu, sometimes I sent fruits, and sometimes I sent comics that had just arrived. 

Zhou Gongzi was born arrogant and cold, I sent a semester, the other party did not pay much attention to me.

His good buddy Cheng Xingye finally couldn't stand it anymore and tapped him on the shoulder jokingly: 

“Zhou Jingxiu you are not it, elementary school sister looks so good-looking and well-behaved, you are not happy I can cut off and.

“Primary school sister, why don't you stop chasing him, come chase me, I'm very good at chasing”.  

...... 

Once I was bullied by a group of young girls outside the school, and Cheng Xing Ye happened to pass by. 

Without saying a word, he rushed over and stood in front of me. 

“This young master never beats up women, so don't force me to make an exception. 

“This Zhao You En student is under my protection, if anyone dares to touch a hair on her head today, I will make sure that the person will have to suffer.” 

......

That big sister didn't recognize him, and after hearing such a middlebrow statement from Cheng Xingye, she sneered.  

Immediately called and shook in a group of her godfathers and godbrothers. 

Cheng Xingye rolled up his sleeves and revealed an expression of death. 

I looked at him with trepidation, and was so panicked that I didn't know what to do, when one of my hands was clutched tightly by him:

“Run fast, Little You En.” 

That afternoon, Cheng Xingye clutched me and ran for his life through the alleys of Dongcheng District.

The good news is that it ended without a hitch. 

Before the final exams of my sophomore year of high school, because Zhou Jingxiu was going to college, I wanted to take a gamble, so I found an opportunity to confess to him.  

The other party simply rejected me. 

The system ruled that I had failed in my strategy, and I was checked for cancer in the first week of summer vacation. 

The disease progressed so quickly that I didn't even make it to the start of my senior year of high school before I gah.

The second life came quickly. 

This time I still became their alumni, but at the same level.

Zhou Jingxiu and Cheng Xingye's grades were both very good, and they both went to the same TOP3 university in China.

As usual, I pursued Zhou Jingxiu vigorously.  

Even though he had changed his body and face, he was still indifferent to me. 

Because he was rich, had a good face and good grades, there were many girls chasing after Zhou Jingxiu in the university. 

Unsurprisingly, I was still the one who licked the most.

The whole year of freshman year passed, Zhou Jingxiu to me if not away. 

I'm a little discouraged, and I'm beginning to wonder if Zhou Jingxiu is Gay. 

I wanted to ask Cheng Xingye about it, but I found that the two seemed to have broken off their friendship. 

That's strange.  

Weren't they close in high school? 

There can be plastic brotherhood between boys? 

In the summer of my freshman year, I returned to Shanghai. 

That's right, my second identity's hometown is also Hucheng.

That day, I was wandering in a bookstore and happened to run into an acquaintance.

In a brain fart, I actually said hello to him: 

“Cheng Xingye.”  

He looked up at me, somewhat puzzled. 

I suddenly realized that the other person did not know me in this capacity at all. 

Although in the same university, I had never said a word to Cheng Xingye. 

Only to awkwardly explain: 

“That, we're in the same university, I'm Zhang Xiao from the broadcasting department.”

His attitude was a bit cold, but he still nodded at me.

When I was checking out, a little kid bumped into me.  

I bent down to pick up the book I had just knocked off. 

A hand picked it up before me. 

Lifting my head, I realized that it was actually Cheng Xingye.

He didn't give it back to me right away, but just kept his eyes on the comic book for a long time. 

I said “Thank you” to him. 

After a while, he absentmindedly handed me the book. 

I thought he looked a bit strange.  

It was as if he was shrouded in a wave of sadness, and I didn't know if something had happened at home. 

This was the only contact I had with Cheng Xingye in my second life. 

Because not long after that encounter, I failed to confess to Zhou Jingxiu and was erased by the system for the second time. 

During a weekend stroll through the mall, I was shot in the head by a vicious gangster. 

After that, in the third and fourth lives, almost every time I crossed paths with Cheng Xingye, and all of them were a bit more than the second life.

It was probably because Zhou Jingxiu and Cheng Xingye's brotherly love was restored.

When the fifth Raider opened, the two of them had already graduated from college and returned to Shanghai to work in their respective family businesses.  

That night, a bunch of second-generation kids went camping at Qifeng Mountain. 

I also went. 

And confessed to Zhou Jingxiu in front of a cliff. 

Just as I was waiting for the answer with trepidation, Zhou Jingxiu's cool and refreshing voice rang out:

“Zhao You En, don't lick it, I know you even if you turn into ashes,” he said. 

“To tell you the truth, I wouldn't be with you even if I jumped from here.” 

In an instant.  

I was hit in the head. 

Zhao You En was my name in my first life. 

It turned out that Cho Kyungsu knew that I was a Raider a long time ago. 

In these five lifetimes, I had always been like a clown in front of him.

Constantly jumping, dying, jumping, dying. 

Or to him, I was more like a monster.

A monster that keeps reincarnating.  

After being exposed by Zhou Jingxiu, I walked towards the bottom of the mountain in a state of confusion. 

Without a doubt, the mission in this life had failed again. 

I knew I was going to be obliterated soon. 

I just didn't know what kind of death it would be this time. 

With regards to the upcoming bad luck, my body began to tremble involuntarily.

At the same time, the entire person was plunged into a great panic and despair.

Zhou Jingxiu had discovered that I was a Raider.  

Even if I started over for the sixth time, there was no way the Raider would succeed. 

Unless he was made to lose his memory. 

I called the system in a panic, but was slow to get a response. 

Just then, a sports car passed next to me and stopped. 

After the car window was lowered, I recognized the other party. 

Cheng Xingye.

I had crossed paths with him a bit more in the fifth life, close to a nodding acquaintance kind of thing.  

That's probably why he would stop the car. 

“Leaving so early?” 

He asked me.

I calmed down a bit and nodded, returning the word 'hmm'. 

“It's at least a four hour walk down the hill from here, come on up.”

He said again. 

I actually didn't really want to take the car.  

One, because even though I've known Cheng Xingye for five lifetimes, I still don't know him very well. 

Secondly, I know I'm close to ga, in case the system arranges for me to be hit by a meteorite this time and I happen to be in his car, wouldn't I be dragging someone else down with me. 

Although this sounds a bit absurd. 

But since experiencing being shot in the head by a mugger at the mall, I felt that any death happening to me would not be unusual.

So politely declined him. 

Cheng Xingye wrinkled his eyebrows and looked serious:

“I have to remind you that the police in this area often receive sexual assault cases of single women.”  

His words made me get on the car decisively. 

There is no other reason, just that I do not want to experience the death method of first rape and then kill for the time being.

5 

After getting in the car, I was quiet. 

Anyone in my state of mind would not be in a good mood.

Cheng Xingye was also very silent, I don't know if he was not in a good mood either. 

Not long after, my cell phone rang.  

Zhou Jingxiu called. 

I hesitated for a moment, but still pressed the connect button and put the phone close to my ear. 

“Gone?” 

He asked me on the phone.

Knowingly.

I swallowed and replied to him, “Uh-huh.” 

“Jo Young-eun.”  

He called me by the name I started with on the phone, his tone lazy: 

“Don't start over, I'm sick of you not bothering me. 

“I hope tonight is the last time we see each other, that's all.”

With that, he hangs up without hesitation. 

I sat on the passenger side, my heart shrinking into a ball.

It was an indescribable pain.

I didn't know at which point I went wrong.  

Raiding Zhou Jingxiu for eight whole years. 

From the first to the fifth life. 

From the beginning when I was full of enthusiasm and love, to the later when I was suffering and worried.

Frequently changing identities, I have no relatives, much less friends. 

Like a walking corpse wandering alone in the world.

I don't know when I started, my heart seems to be full of weeds, barren and lonely. 

The saddest thing is that these days will continue indefinitely.  

There will never be an end to it. 

6 

Until a tissue was handed to me.

Only then did I realize that I had shed a tear without warning. 

Instantly feeling humiliated. 

Cheng Xingye would probably Ṱú₉think that I was a little sick in the head. 

So he hurriedly said to him:  

“That, just drop me off at the bus stop when you get off the mountain.” 

He didn't say anything after hearing that. 

When I was about to drive to the bus stop, Cheng Xingye suddenly asked me:

“Do you know where there is a place to have a late-night snack?” 

I didn't react for a moment: 

“What?” 

“I'm a little hungry.”  

So that's how it is. 

But, the Crown Prince of Cheng's Group, wouldn't he know where to have a late-night snack? 

He paused and explained:

“Suddenly I have a craving for barbecue, but I haven't eaten there for a long time, and it seems that the stores I used to go to have all closed down.” 

No wonder. 

I couldn't beat that.

I quickly showed him the way to a street-side barbecue restaurant.  

I was about to say goodbye when he stopped me:  

“Do you want to join us?” 

I don't really like barbecue, I'm afraid of catching fire.

So I smiled at him and shook my head, “Thanks, I'm not hungry.” 

He instantly replied: 

“But it's a bit strange to sit here alone.” 

What a reserved and elegant young master.

I had to sit down with him.

He ordered a lot of things, and I thought he was hungry at first.

But it turned out that he ate very little.

And he was almost frowning as he savored it.

He didn't seem to be much of a spicy eater.

Finally I could see his reluctance, “If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it, or your intestines will get upset.”

Cheng Xingye quietly took a sip of water and spoke coldly:

“Where are you going later?”

Me?

“Of course I'm going home.”

I felt like this Prince was having an awkward conversation.

He seemed to feel it too and nodded.

“I'll give you a ride home.”

Actually, I really don't need to.

But he insisted, so I had to give up.

An hour later, the car arrived at the neighborhood where I live.

I pushed the door and got out of the car, saying goodbye to him, “Thanks for the ride, be careful going back.”

He nodded his head and didn't reply back to me.

I walked a few steps and suddenly remembered that I didn't seem to have told Cheng Xing Ye my address.

Strange.

How does he know I live here.

I looked back.

Cheng Xingye's car hadn't left yet, and he was looking at me from the driver's seat.

This scene reminded me of our chance encounter at that bookstore in my second life.

His eyes were just like this, like they were shrouded in some kind of sadness.

It was inexplicably saddening.

I was stunned for a few seconds and waved at him.

Once again, I turned around and left.

This was the fifth life, the last time Cheng Xingye and I crossed paths.

Three days later, I died in a car accident.

On a downtown street, I was run over by a heavy truck and died.

7

I decided to change my raid target to Cheng Xingye.

The system asked me if I was thinking about it.

“A dead horse is a dead horse, you don't have a way to make Zhou Jingxiu lose his memory, so I have no choice but to do this.

“I really don't want to die horizontally again.”

The system sighed:

[I'm sorry, in order to restart a game as soon as possible, the safest thing to do is to fly off the handle like this, although it does hurt, at least it's short.]

I know its words are not unreasonable.

Since it's a death, how can it not be painful.

If you want to be painless, the only way is for the Raider to succeed.

I opened Cheng Group's official website and unexpectedly found that their company was hiring.

So I wrote a few resumes and put them in.

About the relationship of fresh graduates, within a few days I received an interview notice.

8

Early Monday morning.

I appeared in a black uniform in the Cheng Group office building ......

next to the Starbucks.

After half an hour of eager anticipation, I finally waited for the system's reply.

[There are still ten minutes until the target person appears, host, you can go in now.]

I took a deep breath, hurriedly grabbed my bag, and entered the grand and luxurious office building.

After the security guard read my interview notice, he brought me a magnetic card pass.

Sure enough, it was one of Asia's top 500 companies.

I can't say enough about the security.

I walked slowly down the hall on the first floor.

There was a hustle and bustle coming from the doorway.

I raised my eyes and looked.

The man at the front was dressed in a dark gray suit, with deep eyes and dark eyebrows.

On his left and right sides stood several older men around fifty years of age, who should be the group's senior managers.

Each of them walked beside him with a humble face, nodding their heads in agreement from time to time.

It seems like I've never seen Cheng Xingye with such a powerful aura before.

It was like the stars were holding the moon, so reserved that people didn't dare to look directly at him.

On second thought.

He is the crown prince of Cheng Group.

Isn't such a row normal?

[Host, what are you staring at? They're about to enter the elevator, hurry up and rush over ah.]

The system reminded me in my head.

I was a bit hesitant, “Wouldn't that be a bad idea? He's surrounded by people.”

What are you afraid of? I'm here now.

“It's such a rare opportunity, you need to get in front of him before you can take the next step.”

I shook my head.

The system is probably watching too many Korean dramas.

But just the moment the elevator door was about to close, I still rushed over.

9

“How's the project of the Intelligent Technology City going?”

Cheng Xingye's cool voice sounded inside the elevator.

Taking advantage of the time when a few uncles were talking, I quietly looked over to the side.

Counting the time, it had only been two months since Cheng Xingye and I parted ways that night.

He seems to have lost some weight, I don't know if it's because he's been busy at work.

That said, he's really tall.

Maybe 185.

Or maybe 186.

Eyebrows and eyes cold, nose bridge high and straight, facial lines clean and hard.

In fact, his appearance has not changed much from his teenage years to the present.

In my mind, I somehow remembered my sophomore year of high school, he clutched my hand and ran in the East Side of the alley situation.

Those two lines were still ringing in my ears:

“I've never hit a woman. Don't make me make an exception.

“This Zhao You'en student is under my protection, if anyone dares to touch her today, I will guarantee that he or she will suffer.”

......

Time flies, eight years have passed in the blink of an eye.

I lamented.

In the next second, I met Cheng Xingye's line of sight.

10

The moment my eyes collided, I was nervous for no reason.

When I didn't know how to react, the other party lightly moved his eyes away.

Ah.

Almost forgot, how could he possibly know the current me.

This is so confusing.

I shook my head in disorientation, only to notice that the group of older men in the elevator were all looking at me at the moment.

Instant reaction.

It was probably because I had just stared too blatantly at Cheng Xingye, that's why I had aroused the curiosity of these uncles.

“This young lady, which department are you from?”

An uncle who wore glasses and had a hairstyle with a bit of a Mediterranean trend asked me seriously.

I had no choice but to reply honestly:

“I'm here for an interview.”

“Isn't the interview on the 3rd floor? This is the 26th floor, you're sitting too high.”

The elevator opened with a ding.

In the corridor, three letters in hot gold appeared.

“General Manager's Office.”

I was embarrassed for a while and hurriedly apologized to the other party.

After Cheng Xingye stepped out of the elevator, everyone followed.

11

Although I had a face-to-face meeting, this face-to-face meeting was no different from not having a face-to-face meeting.

The system muttered in my head:

[Why do I feel that this Cheng Xingye is also very difficult to deal with.

“You prepare well for the next interview, close to the water first, as long as into the Cheng Group, the hope of the Raiders increased by fifty percent.

Unfortunately, people's plans are not as good as God's plans.

Three days later, I received a call that the interview did not pass.

It was actually expected.

The interviewers that day were very talented, two-thirds of them were returnees who graduated from prestigious schools, and one-third of them were graduates of the top 3 universities in China.

My identity in this life is just an ordinary 211 graduated undergraduate, really very inconspicuous.

But it doesn't matter, I've been a guide to Zhou Jingxiu for five lives, and I know more or less about the hobbies and itinerary of his good buddy, Cheng Xingye.

It's not hard for me to have an accidental encounter.

12

On the sixth night of squatting at the Empress Clubhouse.

I finally got something.

It wasn't long after Zhou Jingxiu and a few second-generation ancestors showed up that Cheng Xingye came.

That's right, this is their lair.

However, I was quickly stumped because every time these gentlemen came here, they almost always moved around in the third floor's private rooms.

Tonight was no exception.

I was a bit deflated.

It's basically impossible to blend into the box.

It's better to casually find a seat in the first floor lobby first and wait and see what happens.

I ordered a cocktail at the bar and sat there bored.

Suddenly glimpsed Zhou Jingxi came down from the third floor alone and found a window seat on the first floor.

Inside the hall, the music was boisterous, the lights were everywhere, and the men and women on the dance floor were swaying desperately.

Strange.

He had never been a fan of this kind of activity, why was he so interested tonight?

Zhou Jingxiu is handsome, his clothes and taste are extraordinary, and he sits there like a glowing LED light.

Any woman would glance at him.

Soon, some girls went up to talk to him.

About the good mood, Zhou Jingxiu surprisingly did not refuse.

But not long after, his attitude faded a lot.

The girls sensed his indifference and could only go down with a look of regret.

Zhou Gongzi's market is good, one has just gone away and immediately the next one went up to replace him.

Zhou Jingxiu returned to his normal self.

Not a moment later, he staged a change of face.

The girl left with a stifled look on her face.

This is repeated several times.

I feel that Zhou Jingxiu is afraid of having some kind of serious illness.

And it's not a serious illness.

Shake your head.

Forget it.

Anyway, I don't need to raid him now, so it's none of my business.

Moved over the line of sight.

Huh?

When did Cheng Xingye come down too.

I can't afford to lose this opportunity.

I quickly adjusted my state and was about to go forward.

Instead, I saw him accidentally bump into a girl's wine glass while sidestepping.

He said something with an apologetic face.

The girl politely said something back.

The two of them chatted back and forth.

I stood there with a confused look on my face.

What's the situation?

As a Raider, I really knew Cheng Xingye's actions just now all too well.

That was definitely not an unintentional action.

Rather, it was deliberate.

Could it be that he likes this girl?

Okay.

She's really pretty.

Worthy of being good buddies, even the vision is similar.

This girl had accosted Zhou Jingxiu only a quarter of an hour ago, and the two of them even chatted for a while.

I sat back in my chair with a depressed look on my face.

What a bad outing.

So Cheng Xing Ye likes this kind of girl who is on the sweeter, better behaved side?

I swiped my phone while observing the situation over there.

Luckily, the two had only been chatting for about ten minutes before the girl left with a face of regret.

Her face was filled with fondness.

I breathed a sigh of relief and decided to strike immediately.

Who knows that before I could even get there, Cheng Xingye had already hit on another girl.

Shit.

No way.

What the hell is going on?

Moreover, didn't this girl just flirt with Zhou Jingxiu as well?

What the hell is wrong with these two brothers.

Or is this a new breed of Play.

I had to sit back in my chair again.

I didn't expect that these men would play so flowery in private.

Even Cheng Xingye ......

It's really disillusioning.

I swiped my cell phone listlessly and continued to observe the opposite side.

Finally, the two finished chatting.

This girl's face was similarly written with fondness.

She hesitantly took out her cell phone and seemed to want to add Cheng Xingye's WeChat.

But it was rejected.

It was simply becoming more and more unintelligible.

After Cheng Xingye rejected the girl, his expression was surprisingly a bit forlorn.

He traveled through the crowd, examining the surrounding crowd with a blank and despondent look.

It seemed like he was searching for something.

I followed Cheng Xing Ye's lead and watched as he was about to walk to the elevator.

It was about to go up to the third floor.

If he returned to the private room, it would be difficult to strike up a conversation again.

I quickly walked over and prepared to enter the elevator with him.

“After a ding, the elevator opened.

A waiter carrying a tray came out, probably not holding it steady, the wine glasses in the tray gradually tilted down.

Fortunately, the waiter was quick enough to hold the glasses before they slipped.

But this also made Cheng Xingye, who avoided the waiter, take a step back, thus bumping into me.

It also happened that my cell phone wasn't holding steady.

“Pah!”

The cell phone fell onto the marble floor with a crisp sound.

Thus, my new Huawei, which I just bought a few days ago, cracked its screen.

God help me.

I picked it up with a look of heartache.

The waiter stood at a loss for words.

Of course this is not his business.

It was Cheng Xingye who hit me.

Young Master Cheng really didn't give the waiter a hard time, he just asked him to leave first.

Just as I was about to gracefully and unobtrusively hand over the next session with Cheng Xingye, I heard him make a phone call:

“Lin Shi Ran, do you have any cash with you?”

In two minutes' work, Lin Siran came down to the first floor and handed Cheng Xingye a pile of cash.

“Sorry.” I heard him say to me.

Then, the pile of cash reached me.

The meaning was clear.

There wasn't a single unnecessary word.

The two men got into the elevator.

Quickly disappeared into thin air.

Now, I had to admit what the system had said before.

Perhaps Cheng Xingye is even more difficult to deal with than Zhou Jingxiu.

God damn it.

In the end, are people still allowed to live.

 

13

Walking out of the clubhouse.

The system and I are silent.

A week of continuous squatting, plus most of the night's busy work.

Surprisingly, we found nothing.

Cheng Xingye probably never even looked at my face clearly.

At this rate of raiding, it won't be until the monkey's age.

Not to mention that there is a time limit for each raid mission, just from tonight Cheng Xingye's attitude towards me.

Obviously, I am not his dish.

“System, do you know how men look at women or not?

“Every time before arranging an identity for me, can't you raise your taste a little bit.”

The system is also quite speechless:

Missy, please, don't you look at yourself in the mirror?

If you're not a beautiful woman, then what is? Skin white and beautiful long legs, shoulders, breasts, small waist, when the actress is more than enough, okay?

I don't know what's wrong with those men's brains.”

I can only blame you for encountering some oddballs as your targets.

......

I'm not sure what's wrong with them.

I'm so bored.

I walked to a bookstore without realizing it.

Surprisingly, it's the same bookstore I used to frequent.

When my eyes accidentally swept over the poster on the glass window, I instantly perked up and hurriedly pushed the door to enter.

“Boss, the tenth season of Eye of the Demon King is already out?”

The chubby boss swept me a glance and nodded:

“Yeah, it just arrived yesterday.”

Wow.

What a coincidence.

I immediately went to the last row of the bookshelf and quickly found the stack of brand new, beautifully bound comic books.

I had something to do tonight.

When I was paying the bill, I noticed that the interior of the store seemed to have been redecorated.

And they were actually selling coffee.

When did this business start?

It's too humanized.

“Boss, can I buy a raw coconut latte and sit over there to read some manga?”

The owner looks up, looks at me seriously for a moment, and nods again:

“Yes, but the book has to be paid for first.”

“Sure.”

On a blustery autumn day, I order a cup of coffee and sit in a corner of the bookstore to read a manga.

It's quite a pleasant feeling.

If I remember correctly, this “Eye of the Demon King” has been serialized since my junior year of high school.

It's been steadily updated at an average rate of one book per year, and now it's in its tenth year.

I don't know which year it will end.

I guess it will be another lifetime series.

As a loyal reader, I want to see the ending sooner, but I don't want it to end so soon.

What an ambivalence.

14

I don't know how long it took until my second cup of coffee refill was at the bottom.

It was really late.

Time to go home.

I closed the comic book and unintentionally looked up, but my whole body froze.

Cheng Xing Ye.

Why is he here?

Isn't he at the Queen's Club?

Outside the window.

A man in a light blue shirt and dark colored pants was similarly gazing at me silently.

The gaze is distant.

I don't know how long he's been standing there.

In my mind, I recalled three months ago, after I failed in my fifth raid on Zhou Jingxiu, Cheng Xingye sent me home.

He was also looking at me like this, his gaze long and deep.

Perhaps sensing my gaze in response, Cheng Xingye locked the car.

Then, walked into the comic store.

I suddenly got nervous.

15

“What should I do? What should I do?

“Tune-chan, are you there?”

There's dead silence in my head.

I'm really impressed.

Whenever it comes to a critical moment, the chain falls off.

I caught a glimpse of Cheng Xingye walking to the last row of the bookshelf, seemingly picking out a manga.

How about I walk over and pretend to fall?

It's too deliberate.

No way, no way.

Or refill my coffee and accidentally splash him all over.

That's a bit mean.

I stood by the window, leaning against the fixed wooden countertop, flipping through the comic book in my hand without stopping for a second, my mind pondering on a countermeasure.

I didn't want Cheng Xingye to come over and stand at a distance of about fifty to sixty centimeters from me.

He started flipping through the book in his hand.

It was the book “Eye of the Demon King”.

Speaking of which, I planted this book for Zhou Jingxiu in high school.

Later on, most of the students in their class became addicted to the plot inside.

My heart became more and more nervous.

Strange.

Raider Zhou Jingxiu had never been like this before.

What exactly am I nervous about?

My heart is still beating so fast.

My eyes glanced at the coffee cup on the side, and an idea suddenly came to my mind.

The hand follows the heart.

Just when I was planning to unobtrusively sweep my elbow against the coffee cup ......

“Bang!”

The sound of the cup breaking.

I stared in dismay at the coffee cup that was already in pieces on the floor.

Raising my eyes, I met Cheng Xingye's eyes that were as deep and dark as obsidian.

He sounded chagrined:

“I'm sorry! I didn't do it on purpose.”

I subconsciously shook my head and squatted down to pick up the pieces of the cup.

“Uh, it's okay.”

Cheng Xingye similarly bent over and squatted down.

The distance between the two instantly closed.

His scarlet colored lips and handsome nose were right in front of me.

I suddenly read the kind of woody fragrance that novels often depict on male protagonists.

If anything.

Like fir on a cloudy day.

Like cedar in winter.

Not warm, not detached.

Kinda ...... Good smell.

A flutter inexplicably springs up in my heart, and I don't know what's going on.

After cleaning up all the coffee cup fragments on the floor, I asked the boss how much it cost.

When you break something, naturally you have to pay for it.

I felt that the comic store owner seemed to look at Cheng Xingye behind me.

“780.”

“How much?”

I thought I had a problem with my ears.

The owner told me with some regret:

“I'm sorry, young lady, I had this cup customized by a master artist from abroad, and that's the price.”

If you say it's a foreign master, it's a foreign master.

I felt like calling the police.

The boss is no longer the boss he was back then, he's turned the comic store into a black store.

The other party seemed to have sensed the thoughts in my heart and sighed deeply:

“Little girl, if you don't believe me, you can search for this brand of coffee cups on the internet, I still have the order number and proof of shipment on my side.”

Three minutes later, I wilted.

The clown was me.

I never thought this brand of coffee cups would be so expensive.

I caved in with the intention of paying.

“I broke this cup, I should pay for it.

“But I just don't have any cash, nor do I have my cell phone with me, why don't this young lady make the payment first, and I'll transfer it to you later, okay?”

The one who spoke was Cheng Xingye, his voice slow.

His attitude at this moment was much more amiable than before in the Queen's Club.

And he was looking at me and said, his eyes deep like the sea, like a layer of hazy fog.

I didn't really want to part with the 780 bucks.

Anyway, he just dumped me ten thousand dollars, buy cell phone is already more than enough.

However, given that I'm currently in the process of raiding Cheng Xingye, I naturally couldn't wait for his words.

So I gladly agreed.

“It's okay.”

After paying, Cheng Xingye naturally spoke again, “By the way, what's your phone number?”

I said a string of numbers.

As if he wasn't too worried, he even asked the store owner to borrow a cell phone.

Dial the number.

Until my cell phone rang.

Cheng Xing Ye finally let go of his heart.

After making sure that the cell phone number was correct, he seemed to think of something:

“What is your name?”

I froze, and it was only after a long time that I remembered to answer him back:

“My last name is Song, Song Gardenia.”

“Ms. Song, it's already very late, if you don't mind, you can tell me your address, let me send you back, as a gesture of my gratitude to you.”

For a moment, I forgot whether Cheng Xing Ye was the one who was ripping me off, or I was the one who was ripping him off.

His attitude was so honest.

The tone of his voice was clearly filled with a touch of hope.

His eyes were even brighter than the stars, as if they were full of fine sunlight.

If it was someone else, of course I would mind.

It's almost midnight, what if someone sells Ga Waist.

But he was Cheng Xingye.

It's the Cheng Xingye who said he would cover me back in high school.

No one knows what kind of person he is better than me.

After three months, I once again sat in this silver gray Bentley.

Unlike the last time, I was disheartened, as if the sky was about to fall.

This time, my whole body is very relaxed, and there's even a little bit of joy in my heart.

Raiding the mission for six lifetimes, it was only at this moment that I finally saw a little bit of light.

What was playing in Cheng Xingye's car was a song that I really liked many years ago.

The nuclear explosion god song “ALIEZ”.

The sound was not loud.

When the familiar melody rang out, it inexplicably put people in a happy mood, and I was almost about to beat the rhythm to the beat.

When I turned my head, I found Cheng Xingye looking at me with a gentle and quiet expression.

I hurriedly sat back down.

“I haven't told you my name ......”

He seemed to want to break the silence between each other.

I nodded absently, “I know, Cheng Xing Ye.”

The tires braked sharply on the ground and then lurched heavily.

Then it urgently leaned over the curb and came to a stop.

Cheng Xingye looked at me lost in thought, “You ...... know?”

I then remembered that I had forgotten to tell him:

“Last week I went to Cheng's Group for an interview, and I saw you in the elevator.”

The other party's expression slightly stalled, obviously not following my rhythm:

“Cheng's Group?”

“Yes, in the elevator on the 26th floor.”

He finally had a little impression, as if waking up from a dream.

I spoke again:

“Besides, we met at the Queen's Club tonight, and you broke my cell phone.”

Cheng Xingye's starry-eyed face cracked again.

Okay.

As it turns out, before the chance encounter at the comic store, all of my ruses had riddled a loneliness.

He is not impressed at all ah.

Cheng Xingye stroked his forehead, not sure if he was embarrassed or what.

“Sorry, I have some ...... tonight. Otherwise, I go to help you buy a cell phone now, do you have time?”

I sighed.

It's true that he is the Cheng family's big young master, he has more money than he can spend.

“You've already paid me back, have you forgotten?”

I took out the pile of bills from my bag.

Cheng Xing Ye looked at the pile of money, his eyes flashed with deep chagrin.

The expression became even more awkward.

The atmosphere was a bit strange.

The vehicle continued to drive, and in a short while it arrived at the downstairs of my rented apartment.

Cheng Xingye wanted to say something, obviously still have something to say.

But I knew deep down that this was the place to be tonight.

I waved at him with a formulaic smile, “Thank you for driving me back, go back and take care.”

17

On Saturday, I received a notification of a successful interview with Cheng's Group, and the side said that I could go to work next Monday if it was convenient for me.

Yes!

The system is still a bit baffled.

What's going on? Host, weren't you rejected by them before?

I told the system what happened last night while washing up.

It was shocked:

[Really? I only dropped offline for a while, and you guys are already progressing so fast?

“You weren't offline for a while, you were offline for a night, okay?”

Don't worry about the details. I didn't realize that Cheng Xingye is such a good raider. Looks like we've finally picked the right guy this time.

“I hope so.”

Early Sunday morning, I was still in a daze when I suddenly received a phone call.

The person on the other side of the phone claimed to be the HR manager of Cheng's Group, and specially called to confirm with me whether or not I would be going to work at their company tomorrow.

After getting my affirmative yes, the other side seemed relieved:

“Okay, Ms. Song, very much looking forward to your arrival, then I'll see you on Monday.”

Hanging up the phone, I sighed a little, Cheng's Group is at least one of the top 500 companies in Asia.

This personnel department manager is also too not cool, right, even have to call one after another to urge applicants to go to work.

Finally, I'm going to become a working family.

I excitedly climbed up, opened my closet, and began to pick out clothes.

This time my status was that of a poor fresh graduate who hadn't graduated long ago and wasn't in a great financial situation.

The clothes in my closet were pitifully small, but the texture and style were not bad, all of them were classic and versatile.

It looks like I'll have to go to the mall this afternoon to get two workplace wear suits.

Monday.

At eight in the morning, I arrived at Cheng's Group on time.

The HR manager was about thirty years old, surnamed Fu, the same girl who called me on Sunday.

The attitude was very polite.

Only I didn't expect that the position I applied for would turn out to be Cheng Xingye's assistant.

That day I interviewed for an accountant obviously, because of this identity the university studied finance.

“There are no vacancies in the finance department, but there is a special assistant in the General Manager's Office who is on maternity leave,” he said.

“In fact, except for the different job content, the other aspects of the benefits are similar.

“Once you join the General Manager's Office, there will be someone to familiarize you with the business and the environment, so you don't have to worry about that at all, Ms. Song.”

The other party seemed to be trying his best to persuade me to join the company.

Of course I had no objections, if I worked in the General Manager's Office, wouldn't I be closer to Cheng Xingye?

18

The assistant's work really wasn't that complicated.

After only two days, I already had a general understanding of the work.

It was all about daily affairs and translation work, drafting some reports, preparing board materials, and so on.

But strangely enough, I didn't see Cheng Xingye after working for more than a week.

It wasn't until I overheard other employees discussing the matter when I was dining at the restaurant downstairs that I realized Cheng Xingye was out of the country.

It seems that something went wrong with the European branch.

I see.

I had to wait patiently.

That afternoon, I was at my desk, carefully looking through Cheng Group's corporate culture book.

I noticed that the General Manager's Office, which was originally a bit noisy, abruptly quieted down.

I realized something and looked towards the front.

Sure enough, I saw Cheng Xingye.

A haze blue jacket with a pair of black pants, the whole person was long and elegant.

There was also an overcoat in his hand, somewhat windswept.

Although his brows looked slightly weary, he was still a handsome mess.

Most importantly, he was looking at me.

I felt as if my chest was pounding heavily, so I could only try to make myself appear as cloudy as possible and then greet the other party:

“General Manager.”

Then, I just watched as he walked up to me:

“Are you used to working?”

I heard his clear, pleasant voice.

I also saw the light smile on his face, as if it were a clear light reflecting the snow.

19

After work just out of the elevator, Yao Lele, who is responsible for bringing me, asked me curiously:

“Song Gardenia, did you and the general manager know each other before?”

I didn't want to cause any scandal, so I shook my head: “No.”

“Really?”

“Well, why?”

She had a nosy look on her face:

“It's a bit old-fashioned to say so, but to be honest, I feel that the general manager today is completely different from usual, I haven't seen him smile in the three years I've been with the company.

But this afternoon, he actually smiled at us.”

“And he must be in a good mood, he actually didn't even curse.”

I was a bit unfamiliar with the Cheng Xing Ye she was talking about.

Does he still curse?

“Is it that exaggerated?”

Yao Lele nodded heavily:

“Lying to you is a puppy, every time the general manager comes back from the European branch, you haven't seen the faces of those senior managers in the company, it's like they've lost their lives.

“Today, all of them look as if they have a spring in their step, which proves that they have not been scolded, and that also proves that our general manager must be in a very good mood today.

Secretary Zheng said that the general manager went straight to the company as soon as he got off the plane today, and didn't even go home,” he said.

“Isn't it strange that he came to the office without stopping after a twelve-hour flight, without even getting over the jet lag?

“But I thought about it, there's nothing special in this period of time except for you joining the company, that's why I thought to ask you,” Yao Lele said.

Yao Lele suddenly stopped talking and stared straight at the silver gray Bentley that drove by behind her.

I didn't speak again either.

Because the car had already stopped in front of us.

The car door opened, Cheng Xingye got down from the driver's seat and walked straight towards me.

“Why didn't the WeChat go through?”

He asked me.

“Ah?”

“WeChat, I added you, but you haven't gone through.”

He said again.

I hurriedly took out my cell phone, and it was true.

“Sorry, I was a bit busy this afternoon, I haven't had a chance to look at it yet.”

Cheng Xingye laughed a little:

“So that's how it is.

“Get in the car, I'll take you somewhere.”

I could only say goodbye to Yao Lele, “Lele, there's nothing else I'll leave first.”

She nodded stiffly at me:

“Oh, bye. ...... Bye.”

20

Cheng Xing Ye took me to the cell phone counter in the mall.

I then realized that he was going to buy me a cell phone.

“I really don't need it, you've already compensated me for the money.”

“It's okay, just think of it as a subsidy from our Cheng's Group for new employees.”

He insisted.

Subsidies for new employees.

Well, their company is really generous.

After buying the cell phone, he naturally asked me:

“What do you want for dinner?”

Is this a dinner invitation?

As a courtesy, I said:

“I'll treat you, as a thank you for buying me a cell phone.”

Cheng Xing Ye's beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly stared with a wet sensuality.

After a moment, he raised his eyebrows:

“It's okay too.”

Cheng Xingye and I went to a private restaurant.

This one was famous for its food, and it was basically a membership program.

Only when we got to the second floor, we ran into an acquaintance.

“Brother Wild, what a coincidence! My brothers were just talking about how you didn't reply to WeChat and didn't answer your phone calls, but I never thought that I would run into you here.”

The person who spoke was Lin Siran.

His face was delighted.

Cheng Xingye's eyes were pale:

“Why are you here?

“You don't know what Zhou Jingxiu is saving up for, right? Jiang Yiyao is back, and that kid has been enjoying a lot of success lately.

I've been with Zhou Jingxiu for five lifetimes, and the name Jiang Yiyao is a familiar name to me.

She was Zhou Jingxiu's little plum.

She was also his white moonlight, his vermilion sand mole.

A year before I received the Raider mission, the other party went to France.

I can't imagine that after nine years, that little plum has finally returned.

Cheng Xingye didn't seem to have much interest in his words, and his footsteps paused:

“Let's talk about it some other time, we're leaving first.”

Lin Shi Ran was a bit puzzled:

“Aren't you here for dinner? Why are you leaving so soon? This is ...... Brother Wild, do you have a girlfriend?”

Cheng Xing Ye turned around and was about to take me away.

However, the group behind him had already followed.

I saw Zhou Jingxiu almost immediately.

There was no other.

To be selected by the system as a target, his skin is naturally first-rate.

His face was as handsome as if he had won the genetic lottery.

The degree of his handsomeness is comparable to Cheng Xingye's. As for the girl beside him, she's a bit of a pain in the ass.

As for the girl beside him, this is the first time I've seen her.

I think it must be Jiang Yiyao.

Beauty is certain.

Palm-sized melon face, eyebrows and eyes seem to be carved out, delicate white skin, a head of slightly curly long hair.

Like a porcelain doll.

Worthy of being the white moonlight that Zhou Jing Xu had missed for nine whole years.

“Brother Wild.”

Someone greeted this way.

Jiang Yiyao's line of sight was directed this way, and after a short period of stunned silence, her eyes were colored with surprise:

“Cheng Xingye, it's really you.”

It seems that they all know each other.

In such a situation, Cheng Xingye naturally couldn't leave immediately.

21

“Cheng Xingye, I said how you have been quiet lately, so you are doing something big in a muffled voice, this is ...... your sister-in-law? Sister-in-law?”

Box.

The person who is talking is Yin Jiajun, and Zhou Jingxiu is a hairy kid who grew up wearing the same pants.

In the past, when I was a Raider of Zhou Jingxiu, I didn't listen to his sneers.

“You've got it wrong, this is my assistant, Song Gardenia.”

Cheng Xing Ye's voice couldn't hear any emotions.

The other party's gaze was even more meaningful:

“So it's an assistant, does your company recruit assistants based on their face?

“Beauty, are you interested in coming to our Yin's, how much Cheng Xing Ye gives you, I will double it, how about it?”

Yin Jiajun has always been a smooth talker, his mouth is full of trains.

I really don't want to talk to him, but because so many people are here, I am planning to say something perfunctorily, but I don't want Jiang Yiyao to open her mouth at this time:

“Xing Ye, how have you been these years?”

“Not bad.”

This person's expression and tone were light.

Jiang Yiyao gently frowned, and with a light hum from her nose, she said in dissatisfaction:

“You're still the same as when you were a kid, you don't treat me very well.”

“You're overthinking it.”

“Since I'm the one who thinks too much, last Christmas, they all went to France to see me, why didn't you go?”

“Something came up.”

“What? Fireworks with other people, you are really a womanizer.”

At this point, Jiang Yiyao seemed to think of something:

“By the way, where's your girlfriend who set off fireworks with you? Did you guys break up?”

Cheng Xingye suddenly fell silent.

But I heard a hint of something.

Wait a minute.

The one who set off fireworks with Cheng Xingye last Christmas ......

Wasn't it me?

In the fifth life, it was the closest I came to completing the Raider Quest.

Because I slept with Cho Kyungsu.

That's right.

The night I slept with him, I almost cried tears of joy.

It was my seventh year of raiding Zhou Jingxiu, and I had experienced four deaths.

Cancer, shooting, drowning, and the last time I died in a gas explosion at home.

God knows how much I was afraid of failing the Raider mission again.

Because I really don't want to die that badly again.

It all started when Jiang Yiyao officially announced her French boyfriend on INS.

It was obvious that Zhou Jingxiu was very upset and was almost buying drunks at the bar every day.

I, on the other hand, went to the bar every day to fish him out.

No matter how drunk he was, he would always wake up in my apartment bed the next day.

Boiled sober tea, good breakfast, long ironed and clean clothes.

After three months of this, Zhou Jingxiu and I finally slept together.

Early the next morning, I excitedly asked the system if I had succeeded in my strategy.

The other party slowly told me:

[I'm afraid it hasn't yet, host, the data analysis on my side shows that the Raider Target was merely treating you as a white moonlight stand-in last night, and did not fall in love with you.]

I fell into silence, not uttering a word.

Indeed.

Last night, even in the most intimate moments, Zhou Jingxiu's mouth was still murmuring the word 'Yao Yao'.

I heard it long ago.

Only stubbornly chose to cover my ears.

Thought that this would fulfill the mission, but in fact, it doesn't fool the system at all, nor does it fool myself.

Jiang Yiyao's relationship didn't last very long, just four months before the breakup.

She cried a lot on the phone, Zhou Jingxiu coaxed her when I was right next to her.

But I didn't show anything.

I couldn't be jealous, I couldn't lose my temper, and I couldn't make a scene, because I didn't have that position.

I did everything I could to please Zhou Jingxiu, flattering him and listening to him.

Wearing his favorite style of clothes, wearing the same hairstyle of his favorite woman.

I begged him for a long time to spend Christmas with me.

Perhaps in a moment of weakness, he agreed.

I was secretly happy, thinking that the other person would one day be impressed by his love and deep affection.

But the day before Christmas, Zhou Jingxiu suddenly booked a flight to France.

He said to me without any shame:

“Yao Yao is very lonely over there, I must go over to see her, I'll stay with you next time.”

With these words, he left without a trace of regret.

It was said that on that Christmas Day, six of them went to France to see Jiang Yiyao.

Perhaps from that time on, I already had a feeling that I was going to fail again in my fifth attempt.

On Christmas Day, I went to Qifeng Mountain alone to set off fireworks.

Before I left, I even sent a special circle of friends.

As a result, not long after staying on the mountain, I met Cheng Xingye who drove up the mountain alone.

The fifth generation of me, although I'm not really familiar with him, but after all, we all know each other.

So we sat together and set off fireworks together.

At the beginning, Cheng Xingye had one sentence to say, but when he saw that I didn't talk much, he also fell into silence.

The two of us watched the fireworks for a long, long time, until midnight, I took his ride home.

I didn't talk to him much after that.

The “girlfriend who accompanied him to the fireworks” they were talking about couldn't be me, could it?

Just as I was pondering, my cell phone suddenly rang.

It was the landlord.

He had called me once a few days ago, saying that his son was getting married and that he hoped I could find a place to move out by the end of the month.

I picked up the phone and said a few words.

Just as I hung up, I sensed that something was wrong.

Abruptly raising my head, I looked across the room.

Zhou Jingxiu stared straight at me, his eyes burning.

His expression was so cold that he looked like a ghost crawling out of hell.

My back was cold.

In my last life, I failed in my strategy, and was also discovered by Zhou Jingxiu to be my initial identity.

I carefully reviewed it later, and did review many small details that I usually didn't care much about.

Most of them are my perennial habits.

For example, my favorite books, my favorite Korean and American dramas, I would brush up on them every once in a while.

For example, my cell phone ringtone, it's always the same one, and the song is very niche, it's an episode from one of my favorite anime.

More even my catchphrase hasn't changed much.

Every single one of them had the potential to make Cho Kyungsu recognize me.

In this life, I thought about how I didn't need to raid Zhou Jingxiu anymore, and I didn't want to have any dealings with him, and the ringtone of my phone didn't even change over.

At this moment, I wasn't sure if the other party had already noticed anything.

22

“Go get the waiter in.” Zhou Jingxiu coldly said to Yin Jiajun.

“Call the waiter? What for?”

“I want to order.”

“Didn't you just order?”

Zhou Jingxiu's impatient eyes just threw over, Yin Jiajun immediately smiled:

“Young master, don't stare at me, I'll go, I'll go, okay.”

Soon, the waiter came in.

“Each person here will have an extra cup of shark's fin.”

It's true.

Zhou Jingxiu has begun to suspect me.

Since my second life, I have realized that I am allergic to shark's fin.

Although I changed bodies a few times, every time was no exception.

He must be doing this on purpose.

I was holding my cell phone and pondering on a response, but I heard Cheng Xingye, who was on the side, say:

“Less counting the two of you, we're leaving.”

“The food hasn't even been served yet, what's the rush?” Zhou Jingxiu's tone was cool, and his eyes were glowing with coldness.

“There's something going on.”

“What is it?”

“No comment.”

Cheng Xingye was concise, then looked at me.

I stood up after realizing what he meant.

“Wait.”

Zhou Jingxiu pulled back his chair and walked straight towards me, his eyes locking onto me like a falcon.

“Changed your routine? Saving the country from the curve?”

He snorted, his face full of sarcasm and provocation:

“I'd like to see how long you'll keep pretending, don't ever come to me if you're capable.”

Other than me, no one in the room should be able to understand the meaning of his words.

Unfortunately, Zhou Jingxiu was destined to be disappointed this time.

In this life, unless someone holds a knife to my neck ......

No.

Even if someone holds a knife to my neck, I will never go to him.

23

Cheng Xingye sent me home, and the two of them tacitly didn't mention what just happened again.

After arriving downstairs, I was just about to get out of the car when I heard his clear voice:

“Are you looking for an apartment?”

After a brief moment of dismay, I realized that he should have heard it just now at the dinner table.

“Well, the landlady said her son is getting married next month, so she's taking the house back.”

Cheng Xing Ye looked at me and spoke cautiously but hopefully:

“If you don't mind, I ...... If you don't mind, I have a friend who has an unused house in Mercury City, so you can ......

Mercury City.

I remembered.

But that seems to be a villa area.

“I may not be able to rent a house over there ......”

He interrupted me urgently:

“You don't have to pay rent, just pay some utilities ...... Actually, it doesn't matter if the utilities are paid or not, he mainly hopes that someone can help him look at the house.”

I looked at Cheng Xingye, vaguely understanding something in my heart, and nodded my head:

“I'll think about it.”

He sighed in relief, “Okay, then I'll wait for your reply.”

Just as I watched the car leave, the system excitedly jumped out and shouted in my head:

I knew that a beautiful woman would always shine.

This Cheng Xingye really has a good eye, unlike Zhou Jingxiu who is blind.

According to the current progress of the strategy, Cheng Xingye will definitely be taken down by you.

I can't do anything about it.” ‘I can't do anything about it,’ he said.

I don't agree with what it said:

“Can't do it? Don't be so modest, I see that every time you screwed me over, you were fast and ruthless.”

How could I? You don't even know how much my heart aches before each operation. It's all because of that stone-hearted and cold-hearted scum, Zhou Jingxiu. Damn it, we've finally gotten rid of that bad guy in our lives.

Cheng Xing Ye is still good, handsome and on the road, we have not even how to strategy, he obediently sent to the door.

[I now wonder if he also has a system tied up in his head, and then the system told him to come and raid you.]

I pondered slightly:

“It's not impossible.”

The system quickly refuted my words:

[Forget it, do you really think this world is full of raiders? If a fellow Raider appeared in the neighborhood, would I not know about it?

To tell you the truth, there is only one Raider in an average of 10 million people, and there are definitely no more than 20 Raiders in this country.

I only realized today that it was a one in ten million chance that I was drawn by the system in the first place.

I really don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky.

“But don't you think Cheng Xingye is strange? Everything is also too smooth.”

[What's so strange? I'd rather believe he fell in love with you at first sight.]

I sigh:

「If it was really love at first sight, why did he not remember meeting me in the elevator or at the clubhouse at all.」.

The system was silent for a moment:

[That's right, so what now?

“[I don't know, we'll see as we go along.]”

24

I politely declined Cheng Xingye's kind offer and quickly found an apartment and moved in over the weekend.

I went to work every day and went shopping with my coworkers after work, and I actually quite enjoyed these days.

Yao Lele had been curious about Cheng Xingye's relationship with me since the last incident, and asked the general manager sideways if he was chasing me.

“How could that be? He broke my cell phone before because of a little accident, and he was the one who had to pay for my cell phone that day.”

“That's it?”

“Otherwise, what do you think?”

At noon, a few coworkers were discussing where to go for lunch when they saw Special Assistant Wang, who had just finished an administrative meeting.

Yao Lele greeted her warmly:

“Mr. Wang, are you going to lunch? Why don't we join you?”

Just after the elevator closed, I received a WeChat from Cheng Xingye on my phone:

“Where did you go?

I hurriedly replied:

“I'm going down to lunch with my coworkers, why?

There was a short interval:

[Good, nothing.

When I turned off my cell phone, I reacted.

Is he planning to ask me out to lunch?

25

Originally, five or six people went together, but when we came back, only Wang Special Assistant and I were left.

I think those few coworkers saw what was going on.

“Ms. Song Gardenia, your favorite raw coconut latte.”

Special Assistant Wang came out from Starbucks and handed it to me.

“Thank you, how much is it, I'll transfer it to you.”

“No, it's just a cup of coffee.” The other party smiled and asked me at the right time, “How is it working in the General Manager's Office? Are you used to it?”

“Yes, it's fine.”

“If there is anything you don't understand, or if you encounter any problems, you can come to me.”

“Good. Thank you, Mr. Wang.”

“You're welcome.”

The other party hesitated for a while, and his expression suddenly became a bit coy:

“By the way, a friend of mine gave me two tickets for a piano concert this Friday night, I wonder if you have time on Friday?”

In fact, Special Assistant Wang was good-looking, highly educated, and had outstanding abilities, and I heard that he was also a popular person beside the chairman.

If he wasn't burdened with the mission of the Raiders, it would be the dream of all ordinary girls to find such a diligent, motivated and reliable boyfriend.

However, this dream is not destined to suit me.

I was mulling over what reason to find to refuse, when the system's voice suddenly came in my head:

[Reminding the host that a Raider target has been detected approaching.]

As the words came out of my mouth, I temporarily changed my words:

“[Friday? Good, I don't have much to do anyway.”

Special Assistant Wang's expression was delighted:

“Really? I'll pick you up then.”

“Uh, do you want me to add you on WeChat?”

I nodded, “Sure.”

The two of them had just taken out their cell phones to scan the code when Cheng Xingye had already walked up to us.

Special Assistant Wang quickly greeted him:

“General Manager.”

The other party nodded, his eyes gently swept over me and asked seemingly carelessly:

“What are you doing?”

Mr. Wang then explained:

''Nothing much, a friend gave me two concert tickets and wanted to say that he would ask Ms. Song to go see it with him on Friday night.''

Cheng Xingye wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses today, his black suit was straight and sharp, and his eyebrows were slightly cold:

“Yes?”

Mr. Wang nodded and narrowed his eyebrows, standing quietly at the side.

As the chairman's special assistant, reading people's words is the most basic step.

Perhaps he also noticed the sudden drop in air pressure around him.

26

After work on Friday, I waited for Mr. Wang downstairs.

Three minutes later, I saw Cheng Xingye's car.

I didn't know what to think:

“What's going on? Where is Assistant Wang?

“There's a situation at the European branch, he needs to go there to deal with it, he just got on the plane.”

“Europe, Europe?”

Cheng Xingye curled his lips, looking in a good mood: “Well, what's wrong?”

“Nothing, just ...... It's quite sudden.”

The other party opened the car door, eyebrows stretching: “Get in the car, not to go to the concert?”

The system is secretly poking on line:

[Emma, suddenly feel that this person is so dark. Assistant Wang just asked you to watch a concert, but even sent people to Europe, seems to go for two months.

Uh.

Really?

Half an hour later, the two of them came to the piano concert, and there were quite a lot of people.

I actually don't appreciate music at all, and I don't even recognize the piano player.

Besides, is there a difference between listening live and listening at home?

This is probably the so-called mountain pig can't eat fine chaff.

I opened my phone, feeling a bit sorry for Assistant Wang in my heart, thinking about whether to apologize to him.

A side eye, met a pair of cool eyes.

I fixed my mind and a sentence came out of my mouth:

“When will Assistant Wang probably be back?”

“Are you very concerned?”

Cheng Xingye's voice sounded cool, like the sudden change in weather recently.

Can you not be concerned? People might have been victimized by me.

“Actually ......”

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the other party:

“Listen to the music.”

Cheng Xingye seemed a bit angry, and the color of his originally cool eyes darkened a few more points.

He no longer looked at me, but turned his head to concentrate on the music.

Okay.

I could only shut up.

27

I was woken up by the system.

When I woke up, the people in the seats around me were getting up one by one and heading down the hallway.

Looking down, a haze-colored suit was draped over myself.

It was none other than Cheng Xingnuo's.

“Awake?”

Someone's promising voice came from the side.

It sounded surprisingly pleasant.

I covered my face with one hand.

Suddenly I felt so humiliated.

It's not enough to be humiliated at home, but to be humiliated outside.

It wasn't until I walked out of the recital hall that my reddened face slowly returned to normal and I asked in shame:

“Why didn't you wake me up?”

“You were sleeping too soundly.”

Cheng Xingye's voice still couldn't hide his laughter.

I didn't dare to imagine the expressions of the audience around me when I was asleep.

I don't want to talk.

I don't want to talk.

The car quickly arrived at the neighborhood where I live.

Cheng Xingye suddenly furrowed his brows, “This is where you live?”

He probably thought that this place was too shabby.

The age of more than thirty years of the neighborhood, is indeed a little broken.

I was a bit lackluster, nodded my head, and let out a ''hmm''.

Get out of the car and say goodbye to the other person.

Cheng Xingye's original expression of wanting to say something else, saw me yawning, and finally gave up, only saying:

“Then you should rest early.”

I walked into the dimly lit hallway.

The system suddenly spoke:

[Host, I'll show you something.]

“What is it?”

You'll know when you see it.

As the words fell, an interface appeared out of thin air in front of my line of sight.

Looking at the background, it should be the concert just now.

I was asleep on the screen.

Cheng Xing Ye took off his own jacket and covered me with gentle movements.

The collar of the jacket brushed against my forehead, about a bit itchy, and I wrinkled my eyebrows a bit.

He actually looked a little nervous, like he was afraid of waking me up.

Making sure I didn't wake up, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he just sat down on the chair next to me, one hand resting on his chin, and just looked at me like that.

How can I put it?

It was unusually loving and charming.

You know what? You slept for an hour, and he pretty much looked at you like that for an hour.] The system said.

I pondered for a while:

“You mean, maybe he's a pervert?”

It was speechless:

[Have you ever seen such a gentle and affectionate pervert?

As long as you pay attention to the way he looks at you, it's clear that he can't help himself and can't hide his love anymore.

Me: “...... 

“Say, in addition to your job as a system, are you also writing novels or something on the side?”

The other party had been exasperated:

[Host, you have to know that I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice, and I've seen more people than you've seen ants.

[You believe me, Cheng Xingye is definitely not an ordinary emotion towards you.

[Perhaps you don't even need to specifically go out and raid him, he will come to you of his own accord.]

What kind of metaphor is this?

However, I feel that the system's words are not unreasonable.

Cheng Xingye has indeed been approaching me.

Why is he doing this?

It's hard to believe that it's really like what the system said ......

I fell into deep thought.

Two weeks after moving, a typhoon swept through the city.

Because it was an old neighborhood, the facilities and everything had deteriorated.

In the evening, I watched the aluminum windows of the house across the street being blown down the sta
