Chapter 148: I Will Go With You

(PS: Qi Yu has officially changed his name to Chu Yi)

Chu Yi wiped the blood on his hands onto his clothes and reached out as well, his eyes sincere and earnest. Beneath his calm exterior was the sound of his heart beating rapidly, just like when they first met: "Hello Ling Wu, I am Chu Yi."

The two people's palms pressed together.

From this moment on, they officially understood each other's worlds.

【The Magician is actually Ling Wu!】

【My wife Ling Wu is just so excellent, I am willing to accept any discipline from the Magician, wife, wife, why did I faint? So it turns out I am head over heels for you!】

【Ahhh... lights exploded!】

【Magician, I love you!】

【Magician, you are so handsome!】

【Chu Yi, I want this sister-in-law, take him down!】

【The case is solved, so those two people at Ganan were Ling Wu and Xi Huaizhi, and the one who swindled 10 million from Yin Huaiyu and Jing Du was also Ling Wu. Heavens, wife, you are so hot it's killing me!】

The two let go of their hands.

Chu Yi's gaze locked onto Ling Wu's face, tracing the other's slender, long neck with his eyes. He deliberately picked up the Human Skin Mask that had fallen to the ground, his Adam's apple bobbing, his voice a bit callow: "This... do you still want it?"

Ling Wu said: "A disposable item."

That meant he didn't want it.

Chu Yi said "Oh," and expressionlessly stuffed the mask into his pocket, adding afterward, as if to protest his innocence, "Littering isn't allowed here."

Ling Wu's brows relaxed a bit, a smile appearing like an iceberg melting: "Mm, understood."

He stopped worrying about the Human Skin Mask, lowered his head to take out his phone from his pocket, and only realized it was out of battery after pressing it a few times. In the damp and dark tunnel, a scorching gaze remained fixed on him at all times.

Ling Wu looked at Chu Yi and said: "Did you bring your phone?"

"I did."

Ling Wu shook his phone and said: "Mine is out of battery, would it be convenient to borrow your phone to make a call?"

Of course, Chu Yi could not refuse him, and he handed the brand-new phone he had just changed to over to Ling Wu.

"Thanks." Ling Wu put his dead phone into his pocket with one hand, took the other phone, and looked at the passcode lock on the screen. His fingers paused, and he asked naturally: "Chu Yi, what is the password?"

Chu Yi leaned toward him: "546498."

"5464..." Ling Wu recited it once. When he was halfway through inputting it, he suddenly looked up at the owner of the phone standing at his side. Their gazes met, and Chu Yi's eyes held his blurry reflection. Ling Wu lowered his head and finished typing the last two digits as if nothing had happened: "Done."

He tapped on the phone and dialed a number.

Through this string of numbers, Ling Wu was finally willing to believe what the bullet comments said; it turned out Chu Yi really liked him.

Meanwhile, Chu Yi was tense. He looked at Ling Wu's profile; in the tunnel, that face looked even paler under the light of the phone screen.

Was this discovered?

Or was it not?

He was itching with anticipation, wanting to be discovered by Ling Wu that he harbored the secret of liking him, but he was also a bit uneasy and nervous, as if the cigarette burn on his collarbone was starting to feel hot and itchy as a result.

Chu Yi heard the ringtone sound for a few seconds before it was answered.

On the other end of the call was an adult man's voice, and he called out: "A-Wu, where are you?"

Chu Yi stood at Ling Wu's side and leaned toward him. The two were very close, and he listened to their conversation openly. Based on the content of their talk, he could analyze that the person on the phone was the Fool he had met yesterday.

"Beep—"

The call hung up.

Ling Wu tucked the phone into his pants pocket. As he withdrew his hand, he noticed the other person's body tremble slightly, and he asked: "What's wrong?"

Chu Yi: "It's nothing."

"To avoid infection, let's go up and bandage the wound first." Ling Wu watched the blood continuously seeping from the back of his hand, used the pad of his thumb to gently cover the wound on the side of his face, sticking the fine glass shards onto the skin, and said again: "There is still a sports meet at the Academy next week."

The two walked upward.

"Mm."

Chu Yi changed the subject very quickly: "Ling Wu, are you very close with him?"

"Who?"

Chu Yi said: "The person on the phone just now."

Ling Wu nodded: "I have known Xi Huaizhi for seven or eight years."

Known for seven or eight years.

Chu Yi murmured this sentence silently.

【Your Highness, are you jealous?】

【So sour!】

【You're keeping a straight face now, don't go curling up in your quilt crying when the night is deep and quiet.】

The two soon exited the tunnel. Just as Ling Wu was about to leave, Chu Yi took the initiative to hold him back and said: "It's not very convenient for me to bandage my own wounds, stay and help me."

"Is that okay?"

Ling Wu turned back. At this moment, it was dusk, and the sunset glow filled the sky: "I will go with you."
