The na of the person in charge was reflected in Yang Xiao’s eyes, akin to a heavy blow.
"Chu Xi..." Jiang Qingluan’s pupils suddenly contracted. She hadn’t expected that the first one would be Yang Xiao.
Zhou Mingxiao’s face also turned terribly pale, whiter than wall paint. As a veteran player, he fully understood what this ant; they were in great danger tonight.
"Why is it ? I haven’t done anything. This... this is unreasonable!"
A wailing ca from behind, where Yellow Hair Wu Zhuo was trembling, his expression as if he had lost his parents. He closed his eyes a few tis and opened them suddenly, as if this could refresh the list of nas.
But naturally, all of this was in vain. The choices for tonight were already set: Yang Xiao, Zhou Mingxiao, and Wu Zhuo. This was an unchangeable fact.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Xiao quickly recovered his composure. Panic would not solve the problem, it would only get him killed faster. This ti, it could only be said that his luck wasn’t too good.
In addition to the paper with nas on the foam board, there were also employee regulations, clearly stating that work started at 9:30 am and ended at 6:00 pm, with soone staying overnight every evening.
It was already 6:00 pm, ti for the others to leave.
After saying a few simple words to Yang Xiao and the others, everyone practically fled from the office. Chen Nang, who was at the rear, turned his head to look at the half-open glass door.
From his angle, he could just see Jiang Qingluan and Yang Xiao. Jiang Qingluan was currently saying sothing very earnestly to Yang Xiao, and her slightly raised profile showed her concern.
Just one night, and Jiang Qingluan already had such a high opinion and dependency on him. This made Chen Nang curious about what skills or charm this man nad Yang Xiao possessed.
If they knew each other in real life, it would be one thing. But if not, then Yang Xiao was indeed quite formidable.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Suddenly, a voice appeared next to Chen Nang’s ear.
Retracting his gaze, Chen Nang realized it was Munan, a woman about his height.
Following Chen Nang’s line of sight, Munan chuckled softly, teasing in a low voice, "What’s the matter, are you interested in Miss Jiang too? But I think you’re too late; Miss Jiang probably already has soone in her heart."
"But it’s not certain that Chu Xi can survive tonight. Even if she does, tomorrow dayti is also Ghost Gate."
Munan, with a lollipop in her mouth, squinted her eyes toward the door and said to herself, "If Chu Xi dies, and you make a move during Miss Jiang’s emotional downti... Well, I must say, your chances are quite high. If I were you..."
But when Munan retracted her gaze to look at the side where Chen Nang was, she realized that Chen Nang’s shadow was long gone; he had already followed the main group away.
"Damn, without even saying goodbye!" Munan stamped her foot angrily, then took one last look at Jiang Qingluan and Yang Xiao before turning to catch up with the main group.
"You should go; they’re getting far away." Yang Xiao reminded from inside the office as the footsteps outside gradually faded.
After all, everyone was just acquaintances, with no deep ties. The only bond was interest, unlike the bond between him and Jiang Qingluan.
In the Fushou Manor mission, Yang Xiao and Jiang Qingluan collaborated well. He once saved Jiang Qingluan’s life from a dry well, and at the end of the mission, it was also Jiang Qingluan who kicked him out of the Nightmare World.
Moreover, not long ago, he had saved Jiang Qingluan’s life, and because of that, he was affected and entered the Nightmare World that should have belonged to Jiang Qingluan.
Speaking of which, Yang Xiao felt quite wronged, and he thought so himself. But after he ca in, he had no complaints against Jiang Qingluan; after all, saving Jiang Qingluan was essentially a transaction, as people from the Yi Sect promised to help save Nalan Shuo.
Since it was a deal, he had to bear the corresponding risk. Ultimately, this was his own fault for lack of foresight, and he couldn’t bla anyone else.
Furthermore, he could see that Jiang Qingluan clearly treated him much more attentively than before, as she felt indebted and hoped to make ands.
"Chu Xi, I’m sorry." Jiang Qingluan said, holding his hand.
"Hmm?" Yang Xiao frowned. This atmosphere felt off to him, so he imdiately asked, "Did you do sothing behind my back to wrong ?"
At this mont, Zhou Mingxiao and Wu Zhuo were both present. The two seed to have forgotten the impending nightti danger, and now they were all ears, thoroughly enjoying the drama.
Appropriate relaxation was conducive to focusing on handling the upcoming danger, which was also crucial.
"You must take care. When you survive, I’ll tell you a secret." Jiang Qingluan lowered her voice to a level only she and Yang Xiao could hear.
"Then I’ll survive just for this secret." Yang Xiao knew now wasn’t the ti to dwell on it, so he gave up, "See you tomorrow, Miss Jiang."
"Mm, see you tomorrow, Mr. Chu." Jiang Qingluan left without looking back.
After Jiang Qingluan left, she quickly caught up with the main group, who hadn’t gone far and were waiting near the safety door. After all, they couldn’t let anyone go off alone, or who knew if it would be a person or a ghost the next ti they t.
Seeing Jiang Qingluan approaching, Munan, ever the instigator, teased, "Wow, Sister Jiang is so good to Chu Xi. It’s warming my cold heart."
"Don’t talk nonsense; Mr. Chu is a good person." Jiang Qingluan corrected her misguided thoughts.
"Both Chu Xi and Mr. Zhou are very capable people. Everyone is hoping they can survive, as it would be valuable to all of us." Liu Yang, who had explored the 18th floor of the building with Yang Xiao, rembered him well.
