Logically speaking, given Leng Yue's position, when she sees the two of them having secretive actions, she should imdiately inform Uncle Zhong or Fujita.
But instead, she chose to remain silent.
Such conflicting emotions make it hard for her to understand. It's like there's a thorn in her heart.
The events that happened in XG are still vivid in her mory. If it weren't for him, she, Bai Xue, and Ruyu wouldn't be able to return to Japan. Besides gratitude, there are also so indescribable emotions disturbing her decisions.
She keeps thinking about seeing him again, even if not speaking, just watching from afar.
Forget it, pretend that you know nothing. At least, she doesn't want to see him die here. What do things like HLY007 have to do with her anyway? In the end, she's just a woman.
"Hey, Xue..."
"Leng Yue?"
"He should be coming to Japan."
"Him? The captain? Are you sure?"
"Yes. He had his second video call with the nightingale today. He doesn't look the sa as before, but it's definitely him. You've seen the photo."
"I understand. You, take care of yourself."
"Yes."
What's the use of telling Bai Xue anyway? If it cos down to a deadly confrontation, his situation surely won't be good. If he dies in Japan, letting Bai Xue know would only add to the sorrow.
However, if we can help him, if he needs help at all, maybe perhaps save his life in the most critical mont...repay him a favor...
That's how Leng Yue thinks... Yes, repay him a favor.
At this mont, at a corner next to a seafood restaurant in Kyoto, Xiaofan finished adjusting his mask, parked the car in a spot, and walked into the restaurant.
Xiao Lei had already started eating unreservedly. Since setting out after ten in the morning and now it's already past five, having missed lunch, she must be starving. Also, such delicious seafood, even if she could afford it, she wouldn't buy it.
'Snap.'
Xiaofan snapped his fingers, called over the waiter, pointed to the large lobster and other seafood in front of him, and then pointed towards Xiao Lei. aning he wanted another serving for her.
"We're out of the smaller ones, there's just one nearly two-pounder, priced at forty-eight thousand yen."
"What did he say?" Xiaofan asked indifferently.
"He said there's no one-pound ones, only the bigger ones, about two and a half thousand currency units each..." Xiao Lei translated.
"Okay..." Xiaofan nodded to the waiter and paid.
"Hey, can you eat that much?" Xiao Lei asked casually.
"It's for you."
"I... I didn't say I wanted it."
"Are you full then?"
"I... I can eat sothing else." It's too expensive, over two thousand each... just looking at the price hurts, let alone eating it.
"Oh, forgot to ask, seeing you eat so enjoyably, I thought you really liked it. But since it's already been ordered, guess you'll just keep company and eat. Eating alone, it's a bit awkward."
Wow, that reason is excellent. Xiao Lei indeed loves it but feels shy about admitting it. However, this guy's words conveniently gave herself a reason to walk down gently.
Then, reluctantly, she'll keep him company and eat.
Besides the lobster, there were so shellfish, plus a bowl of sweet fish soup, and several small fish Xiaofan couldn't na. These things look like they're just to taste freshness; for actual food, they needed sothing that fills the stomach. So Xiaofan ordered a bowl full of rice.
While eating, Xiaofan didn't care about his image at all, eating however he felt comfortable.
Being so unrestrained, he seed a bit out of place compared to other patrons, but to Xiao Lei's surprise, she found that she did not think he was embarrassing her; rather, she felt he was quite genuine.
The sky gradually darkened, and the two of them left the restaurant feeling satisfied.
Looking at the unfamiliar yet familiar streets, Xiaofan couldn't help but feel hosick.
Yes, on the second day after arriving in Japan, he began to miss ho.
The beautiful faces flashed in his mind one after another, wondering what they were doing now. Really want to call them or drop a ssage, but Xiaofan dared not do so. This ti, it needs precision, not to be distracted by other matters.
He took out his phone and sent a ssage to a number: Make sure I have a call with her at 12 noon tomorrow.
Indeed, Xiaofan always scheduled call tis with Zuimo. aning, today's five o'clock connection was already anticipated by Xiaofan, calculated before departure.
The choice of timing was also intended to make the other party believe he indeed was unable to control his ti. Xiaofan's purpose in doing so was to make them shuttle back and forth, ideally allowing him to call and chat with Zuimo whenever he wanted.
"Where are we going now? Back?"
"What ti do you have class tomorrow?"
"I have one in the afternoon."
"Then let's rush back to DJ tomorrow."
"Ah? Then tonight..."
"Tonight, stay here for one night."
Stay here? That ans going to a hotel.
A man and a woman going to a hotel? Could this guy have planned ahead to co this far?
"Hey, let be clear, I have a boyfriend, don't think anything crazy." Arriving at a hotel lobby, Xiao Lei couldn't help but clarify.
"Ask the receptionist how much two rooms cost."
"Two rooms?"
"Hmm? If you don't mind sharing one with , I'd gladly save one room's cost."
"Receptionist..." Xiao Lei quickly found the receptionist to book a room. Turns out, it's just my own overthinking.
Actually, Xiaofan staying here for a night is just purely to be close to Zuimo. And to buy a map nearby for a look. Really wanted to find another chance to visit that base again, but it's just a thought; getting caught again would definitely expose things.
Just as Xiaofan was preparing to rest, there was a knock on the door. Evening knock, could it be... sothing fortunate?
"Who is it?"
"It's ... Xiao Lei."
"Oh, it's you." Xiaofan responded, slightly disappointed, having thought that the hotel would have so kind of Teacher Aoi-like adult actress service.
Opening the door, he glanced at her: "What's up?"
"I, I want to head back, sothing urgent ca up."
"Now?"
"Yes."
"What sort of urgent matter can't wait?"
"It's urgent. I'll take the train back, won't trouble you..."
"No more train tickets... I'll give you a ride."
