Guan Su Lin stood quietly at the edge of the wall, gazing through the transparent curtain of rain at the desolate figure sitting in the pavilion. Under the dim light, his noble and striking face appeared even paler and more eerie.
Suddenly, a triumphant voice echoed in his mind. "Congratulations! You've killed two birds with one stone. Not only have you dealt with Luo Xuezhi's unwanted child, but you've also driven away the biggest threat, Wei Jingxi."
A Qi was immensely satisfied with this newly bound character, who followed orders and enforced discipline, but more importantly, he was clever enough. In terms of background, Guan Su Lin had a tragic story. In terms of personality, he was quite ruthless. Yet, as a character briefly mentioned in the narrative, it was easy to overlook his own strength.
Upon reflection, inserting a revenge arc into such a ruthless character should be able to salvage some lost excitement. A Qi promised, "As long as you cooperate with me well, everything you desire will be within your grasp."
Guan Su Lin's eyes glimmered with deep interest. Although he didn't know what A Qi had done for him, having one more friend was better than having one less enemy. If A Qi wanted his full recognition, he needed to show his true abilities soon.
"That's settled then."
Just then, Guan Su Lin's words trailed off abruptly as a hint of confusion and curiosity flickered in his dark eyes. His gaze followed a girl who slowly descended from a car.
Zheng Mengni held a transparent umbrella as she walked towards Wei Jingxi. The first thing that caught Wei Jingxi's eye was her delicate low-heeled sandals. Her fair and beautiful toes were painted with nude pink nail polish, exuding a glossy sheen. Perhaps in her haste, one of her toenails had picked up a few specks of mud, which looked jarring and unattractive.
Before lifting his gaze to meet Zheng Mengni's eyes, Wei Jingxi bent down and wiped away the mud with his fingertip. However, he remained unable to straighten up and look at her.
Wei Jingxi hunched over, lost in thought as he stared at Zheng Mengni's snow-white instep, which had somehow gathered a few sparkling droplets of water. It was clear that she was hiding under the pavilion to shield herself from the torrential storm battering the city.
Zheng Mengni felt the damp liquid splatter onto her instep. Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly as she set the umbrella aside and crouched down while lifting her gaze to quietly observe this fragile man before her. She reached out to cup his wet face; it felt somewhat cool against her palm.
Zheng Mengni smiled at him and asked, "Why haven't you replied to my messages this week?"
Wei Jingxi's gaze shifted away as he replied, "I'm sorry, I didn't check my phone."
But I clearly saw you online in the game, playing with someone else. "How could you not see?" Zheng Mengni pressed on.
"You told me to download it, and I did. I even registered an account and played a game with you; we’re friends now," she continued, her pale face revealing a hint of sadness. She sighed softly, "You even forgot that. It seems you don't care about me."
"I didn't forget! I didn't play with anyone else!" Wei Jingxi stammered, trying to explain himself, his heart filled with a strange emotion.
Xiao Ni not only kept the game he recommended but also paid attention to him when he went silent. This feeling of being cared for was truly wonderful.
After A-Qin passed away, Wei Nanxuan's only concern for him was transferring money. The times they shared meals together were few and far between; he didn’t even know what Wei Jingxi liked to eat.
But Xiao Ni was different; being with her felt like he had climbed to new heights. She not only didn’t look down on his clumsiness but also patiently encouraged him to improve.
