Chapter 1778: Don't Disturb My Date

Liu Xin'ai corrected her, "There's no need for thanks, and the one who is truly working hard is you."

As she spoke, Liu Xin'ai could not help but sigh deeply.

Xie Wanyi followed her lead and did not continue to express his thanks.

He only said, "Once the information is found, I will send it over as soon as possible."

"Alright, you should also pay attention to resting; if there is anything unusual, contact me."

"Understood, then please go ahead with your work."

Xie Wanyi politely bid farewell to Liu Xin'ai and then left her office.

Once he walked out of the Hospital, the sense of ease on Xie Wanyi's body vanished.

The indifferent attitude from just a moment ago was something Xie Wanyi had deliberately put on.

The purpose was simply not to let his elders worry.

In reality, how could Xie Wanyi be so lighthearted?

The current him needed to find those materials as soon as possible.

If Aunt Xin'ai could use the materials to help him solve the problem with the Chip, then he could be reborn.

But if she couldn't, then he and Jiang Motian...

Realizing he was going down a dead end, Xie Wanyi immediately told himself to stop.

He also shook his head to stay clear-headed.

Xie Wanyi did not continue to think about this unsolvable problem.

Instead, he began to think about how to track down the whereabouts of those materials.

He remained deep in thought all the way back to his residence.

Xie Wanyi's original intention was to go home, take a shower, and change his clothes.

But to his surprise, he saw a familiar figure at his front door.

That person had been pacing at the entrance.

Hearing footsteps, the person turned around.

Upon seeing Xie Wanyi, the person immediately ran over enthusiastically and even gave him a hug.

"Didn't expect me to come, right? Is it a surprise?"

The person speaking at this moment was none other than Ling Yu.

Seeing Ling Yu, Xie Wanyi was indeed very pleasantly surprised.

But beyond the surprise, he was also very puzzled: "Aren't you assisting the West Hall Master? Why have you come here?"

"Of course, I'm here to carry out a mission."

Once he heard it was related to a mission, Xie Wanyi opened the door and invited him in: "Come inside first, then we'll talk."

Ling Yu followed Xie Wanyi into the room and then walked to the refrigerator as if he were at home, preparing to grab a bottle of cold beer.

As a result...

Inside, there were only fruits, vegetables, and eggs.

Ling Yu was stunned.

He stared at the refrigerator and muttered, "Is this still the Xie Wanyi I know? You have too much of a domestic vibe!"

Xie Wanyi also hadn't expected the refrigerator to be stuffed full of things.

After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "It must have been prepared by Tiantian. She doesn't like me always eating takeout, and she likes it even less when I just throw together a meal. Now, I can occasionally make something for myself to eat."

Mentioning Jiang Motian, Xie Wanyi became very gentle.

His eyes were also filled with love.

But as a good brother, Ling Yu felt slightly uncomfortable with Xie Wanyi's change.

He shivered and then said tactfully, "Love really can transform a person. But to have even your meals managed, don't you feel restricted?"

"Having someone care is something to be happy about, how could I feel restricted? Besides, Tiantian isn't a nagging old woman; she has her own career to attend to and can't always revolve around me."

Xie Wanyi's implication was that Jiang Motian's care was just right and would not make anyone feel uncomfortable.

But in Ling Yu's eyes, such defensiveness was just a case of beauty being in the eye of the beholder.

He finally concluded with a sentence: "You really are enjoying it like sugar."

"Yes, I am very happy."

Happy?

Ling Yu could not empathize.

He liked being free and unrestrained.

If someone were to keep watch over him like that, he would feel stifled and unable to breathe!

But the one in love was Xie Wanyi, so as long as he was satisfied, that was enough.

Xie Wanyi did not keep chatting about his own trivial matters; soon, he steered the topic to Ling Yu: "How does it feel to be by the West Hall Master's side?"

Talking about the West Hall Master, Ling Yu put away his joking expression.

Then he said, "This West Hall Master seems like a different person; he is much more reliable in handling affairs, but occasionally the way he looks at people is a bit scary."

The West Hall Master was never a kind soul in the past.

His eyes, squeezed by fat, were full of schemes.

But now, there was an added sinister quality in his gaze.

When he stared at someone, it was as if he wanted to grow hooks in his eyes and stab them deeply into the other person's flesh...

In any case, Ling Yu was unwilling to have too much interaction with such a person.

Now that he had the opportunity, he came outside to carry out a mission.

The world outside is vast and wide, which is surely better than facing the West Hall Master.

Xie Wanyi said with emotion: "As long as the cooperation goes smoothly, there's no need to force anything else."

As the words fell, Xie Wanyi's peripheral vision caught Ling Yu sizing him up.

This scrutiny puzzled Xie Wanyi, so he asked: "What are you looking at?"

"Haven't seen you in a long time, I feel like you..."

"What about me?"

"Your mindset has changed, and what's more, you have something on your mind!"

He truly is worthy of being his good friend; after just a few words, he could spot the issue.

However, Xie Wanyi did not intend to let Ling Yu know the truth.

Given Ling Yu's temper, if he really found out, he would definitely turn everything upside down...

Realizing Ling Yu was still waiting for a response, Xie Wanyi ended his deep thought.

He looked up to meet Ling Yu's gaze and explained indifferently: "There's no change; I've just returned, I'm a bit tired, and my state isn't very good."

Ling Yu did not believe this explanation.

But he did not get to the bottom of it either, saying instead: "If you feel tired, you should rest, but as for you..."

Ling Yu crossed his arms and looked him over.

He said with certainty: "Looking at your posture, you're planning to tidy up and head straight to work."

"That's right."

"Sigh, it's not that I want to lecture you, but since you feel tired, why push yourself so hard?"

"Pushing myself? I wouldn't say that; back when we carried out missions, it was much more tiring than this, and after resting in the car for a while, we'd be full of vigor again."

"But the two are different; it's obvious that your current life is more mentally exhausting."

Ling Yu's summary hit the nail on the head.

Xie Wanyi truly felt mentally exhausted.

For a moment, he didn't say anything.

And his silent response made Ling Yu feel a bit flustered.

He didn't even know why he was flustered.

Perhaps... a sudden, unknown sense of unease had arisen.

Ling Yu coughed lightly and hurriedly said something else: "Shouldn't someone in the honeymoon phase make time to see their girlfriend?"

Xie Wanyi came back to his senses.

He replied calmly: "We will meet; if I hadn't run into you, I would have made time to go to the Art Studio before heading to the company."

"Yo, so that's how it is, I've actually delayed you from seeing your girlfriend?"

"Yes."

Xie Wanyi's reply was very direct.

So direct that Ling Yu felt helpless: "Can't you be a bit more tactful? You, you can't just forget about your good brother because you're in a relationship!"

"I haven't forgotten you, but when I'm on a date with Tiantian, please don't come and disturb us."

Ling Yu was completely speechless.

He stared at the ceiling to calm himself down.

A moment later, Ling Yu put on a heartbroken expression: "I have a premonition that from now on, it won't be as simple as wanting to meet you and meeting you, or wanting to drink and drinking."

"That's right."

"You... you really are blunt, sigh, is being in a relationship so amazing!"
