Chapter 1709: Detection

Zhong Bai drank a lot of wine and found a quiet place outside to reflect on life.

The air here was fresh, the night was quiet with faint insect chirps, the breeze was blowing, the grass and trees were rustling, and stars could be seen in the sky. It was a rare good night.

So she couldn't help but be fascinated while watching. By the time she came back to her senses, it was already very late, and even the previous wine had basically sobered up.

She yawned and set off to return to the building.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the upstairs, she saw Lin Luoxue walking out of the room where Li Shuci and Wang Yan were, and her hair was still wet, her cheeks were red, and her clothes were not very neat.

Both of them were stunned. Zhong Bai even rubbed her eyes, for fear that she was seeing things.

Lin Luoxue said, "Zhong Bai, you just came back?"

"Yeah, I drank too much and stayed outside for a while. You are..."

"Oh, I just finished taking a shower and was about to sleep. I remembered something I forgot to tell Shuci, so I went over to chat with her," Lin Luoxue opened her room door very naturally, "Go to sleep early, Zhong Bai, good night."

"Good night," Zhong Bai nodded blankly, watching Lin Luoxue close the room door.

Because Li Shuci lived with Wang Yan, the room assignment for the four girls became a problem. Logically speaking, it should have been Lin Luoxue and Xu Lianqiao sharing a room, and Zhong Bai by herself, but Lin Luoxue found a random excuse and lived in a room by herself.

Zhong Bai originally wanted to open the door and go back to the room with Xu Lianqiao, but she couldn't help but feel that something was wrong. Unable to suppress her curiosity, she walked on tiptoe to the door of Lin Luoxue's room, and then went to the door of Wang Yan and Li Shuci's room. She leaned close to listen to the door crack.

The result, of course, was nothing.

However, when Zhong Bai was about to go back, she suddenly sniffed, and then frowned. She smelled a strange smell.

The smell was very faint. She sniffed hard to smell it carefully, trying to determine what the smell was, but unfortunately, she couldn't distinguish it. Immediately afterward, she smelled the smell in the front and back directions, determining that the smell was only between Li Shuci and Lin Luoxue's rooms, and it was brought up by Lin Luoxue just now.

She was very sure of this point. Because they had lived together for two years, she knew the smell on Lin Luoxue very well.

With these doubts, Zhong Bai returned to her room.

At this time, Xu Lianqiao had already fallen asleep due to drunkenness. Zhong Bai washed up in a daze and went to bed to rest...

Early the next morning, Wang Yan got up for morning exercise as usual, strolled around the villa, and felt good about the beautiful mountains and clear waters. By the time he returned, it was time for breakfast.

By the time Wang Yan went back to wash up and went downstairs to the restaurant, he saw Ren Yifan and Lin Luoxue picking up breakfast one after another.

The breakfast provided here had quite a few varieties, combining Chinese and Western styles, and it was in a buffet form.

Hearing the sound of Wang Yan picking up the plate, the two looked over to say hello.

"Morning, Old Wang, I didn't expect to come to such an unfamiliar environment, and everything is inconvenient when going out. I thought you were working hard until very late yesterday, and you could still get up early. I really admire you."

Seeing Wang Yan, Ren Yifan became energetic, and his speech was again winking and cheap.

"You flatter me. The body is the capital of revolution. I strive to be strong at eighty."

This remark unexpectedly received an eye-roll from Lin Luoxue. Wang Yan asked with a smile, "Why are you up so early?"

"Thanks to Lin Luoxue, the toilet in my room is broken. I have to run outside to go to the bathroom, and I didn't fall asleep when I went back, so I got up for breakfast," Ren Yifan gritted his teeth.

"No way, I didn't know it was like that. You overcome it. There are no more rooms. Besides, you didn't spend money, you're taking advantage with us, so be content."

Lin Luoxue raised her eyebrows at Wang Yan with a smile, "As for why I got up early, of course, it was because I drank wine yesterday and was a little tired from being tossed around for the first time. I went to sleep early, so naturally, I got up early."

"Wait!" Ren Yifan suddenly spoke, "What do you mean by being tired from being tossed around for the first time? Does it refer to the hardships of the journey? If so, why did you say you drank wine first? Or did you drink wine and then get tossed around? No, are you speaking Chinese? Why don't I understand?"

"Is that so? Then maybe I drank too much and was confused, and haven't woken up from the wine yet. You too, hurry up and find a girlfriend. You have to let your imagination run wild when people are chatting normally. It's not only low and shameless, but also looks particularly low."

"It sounds like you have a boyfriend."

Wang Yan listened to the two bickering, silently followed behind and picked up a pile of food and drink, steamed buns, potstickers, noodles, eggs, sandwiches...

Ren Yifan was right about one thing. He was indeed tossed around quite a bit yesterday, so he should eat more to replenish his strength.

The three found a seat by the window, and Ren Yifan sighed again at Wang Yan's good appetite.

"According to my past experience, you can usually have a romantic encounter when traveling. I don't know when this romantic encounter will come," Ren Yifan looked around with a smile, and then suddenly shrank his head and covered his face to avoid it.

"What are you going crazy about?"

As she spoke, Lin Luoxue also looked around the restaurant, and then subconsciously covered her face to avoid it.

Wang Yan ate the steamed bun in big mouthfuls, peeled the egg, and watched a man and a woman walk over and sit at the table next to them.

"Looking at the way you two are looking for a crack in the ground to drill into, did your ex-girlfriend and ex-boyfriend bump into each other?"

Lin Luoxue blinked, leaned close and whispered, "Is it... that obvious?"

"Isn't it obvious enough?" Ren Yifan looked at his appearance with his mobile phone and asked, "Old Wang, look at me now, how is it? Is my style still the same?"

"If you ask like this, then it must not be the same," Wang Yan smiled and shook his head, "Isn't it just that you haven't washed up and are dressed casually? What's the problem? And who is exquisite twenty-four hours a day? You don't care about these little things usually. It seems... this is an ex-girlfriend who makes you frustrated. You didn't win either, right?"

Lin Luoxue put down her phone and sighed, "I was dumped before, left without saying goodbye, and suddenly disappeared."

"Me too," Ren Yifan nodded fiercely, "I have always been the one to disappear, but this is the only one who suddenly dumped me, without warning before, and without news afterward."

"Look at it more openly, it's all retribution."

Ren Yifan had a standard fake smile, "Thank you, you are really good at comforting people."

"You're welcome," Wang Yan smiled and turned to ask, "Isn't it that you want to go back and tidy up, find someone to pretend to be a girlfriend, and then appear in front of your ex-girlfriend to prove how good you are?"

"How did you know?"

"Because you care. The more you care, the more you want to prove it. Will you prove anything to an ex-girlfriend who dumped you? No. Because that is someone who has already been conquered by you.

It's like returning home in wealth, just because most people in the village look down on you, so you want to show off your financial resources in gold and fur. You failed in feelings, so you want to prove that you are not lonely, and it's not that you can't do without her."

Ren Yifan was silent, Lin Luoxue sighed and asked, "So such behavior is actually very meaningless, right?"

"It's better to go up and ask directly!" Ren Yifan made up his mind, had already stood up, and went straight to his ex-girlfriend.

"I'll go chat too."

Lin Luoxue let out a long breath, stood up with her hands on the table, followed Ren Yifan, and went straight to sit beside them.

Men and women were on each side, questioning each other, and the scene was very awkward for a while.

Wang Yan was silently listening to their conversation, eating breakfast sweetly.

In the original play, Lin Luoxue and Ren Yifan were just like what Wang Yan said just now, they found Bi Shisan and Xu Lianqiao to pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend, which made a lot of jokes and was also very nonsense.

Now the four of them were talking about old accounts there, a mess of chicken feathers. However, the power of time was here, and they were already able to talk very calmly, even if the words were actually a bit hurtful, they could accept it.

At the same time, Ren Yifan and Lin Luoxue also knew that this pair of ex-boyfriend and ex-girlfriend were fake boyfriend and girlfriend, because the ex-girlfriend escaped marriage, the ex-boyfriend helped, and they came together for a grand escape, until they arrived here and met Ren Yifan and Lin Luoxue fatefully, and then let each other go.

After a full and friendly exchange between the two sides, Ren Yifan and Lin Luoxue helped them leave this villa hotel.

In the morning, it started to rain, pouring down.

Yu Hao and others finally got up, one by one listless, all relatively haggard. This was because they drank too much, exceeding the body's endurance for a while.

The most delicate Yu Hao was even trembling when walking.

He sat on the stool, drinking water painfully, "I will never drink again. Xiao Haiyang! You hurry up and put out the cigarette for me! I feel uncomfortable just smelling that smell."

"That's right, ex-boyfriend, you have to have public morality," Xu Lianqiao also fanned her nose, looking disgusted.

Zhong Bai sobered up last night, so her state was quite good, but she sat silently on the side, not speaking, just observing Wang Yan and Li Shuci secretly.

Lu Qiaochuan sighed, "Why didn't I see Ren Yifan and Lin Luoxue? Are they still sleeping? No way?"

Wang Yan told them about the morning's events and where they went.

"What?" Yu Hao widened his eyes, and the whole person came alive, "I actually missed such a wonderful moment? Old Wang, you should have called me at that time."

Wang Yan didn't pay attention to him at all, just supported his chin and looked at the heavy rain outside.

The rain completely became a line, as if it had been falling from the sky to the ground. Shallow puddles accumulated on the ground, and the rain integrated into it forcefully, stirring up countless circles. Watching the rain was also a great pleasure.

Li Shuci hugged his arm and said, "Wang Yan, why don't we eat hot pot at noon?"

Wang Yan turned his head to look at the others, "What do you mean?"

"Okay, no opinion, rainy days and hot pot are the best match," Yu Hao expressed actively.

Lu Qiaochuan and others did not object, so this matter was settled.

By noon, Ren Yifan and Lin Luoxue returned in the heavy rain, ate hot pot together, and answered the curiosity of their classmates...

Lu Qiaochuan was naturally more familiar with Zhong Bai, and he had long noticed Zhong Bai's quietness.

Just as the two were sitting next to each other, he whispered, "Are you uncomfortable? Are you sick?"

"No," Zhong Bai was secretly observing Wang Yan, Li Shuci, and Lin Luoxue, and replied, "I just drank too much yesterday and had a headache. I felt dizzy when I spoke, and I will be fine tomorrow."

"What? Zhong Bai, are you uncomfortable?" Xiao Haiyang, who was sitting next door, heard the words, "Why don't you take some medicine? Can't go to the hospital?"

"Oh, it's okay, it's just that I drank too much and my head is uncomfortable," seeing everyone looking over, Zhong Bai waved her hand quickly, "You eat, don't worry about me, I'm really fine."

Lin Luoxue glanced at Zhong Bai, thoughtful.

People can feel it when they are always being observed and watched.

Zhong Bai's eyes had been scanning the three of Wang Yan, and in fact, they were all aware of it. It was just that Li Shuci didn't think much, Wang Yan didn't care, and only Lin Luoxue thought of the situation last night, which was considered to have detected some abnormalities...

After lunch, because it was raining heavily outside and other activities could not be carried out, everyone was busy.

Lu Qiaochuan and others edited together, or selected photos for fine-tuning. There were also those who went back to bed to recuperate, and those who watched the rain outside the window downstairs.

Just by the window, Wang Yan was drinking tea and watching the rain with Li Shuci and Lin Luoxue.

Not far away, Xu Lianqiao looked at the harmonious appearance of the three and said, "Did you find it too?"

"Find what?" Zhong Bai climbed up from the table, very incomprehensible, "I just feel that they seem to be a bit wrong. Did you find any unspeakable things?"

Xu Lianqiao shook her head slowly, "I also feel that they are weird, I don't know anything else."

"Then how did you find it? How long have you found it?"

"It can't be said how I found it, it's just that I feel something is wrong. How long..." Xu Lianqiao thought seriously, "I felt it when I first came. During the period when we went to the ancient town, Lin Luoxue and Li Shuci were weird, but when we started school in the second semester, they were good again, and they were particularly good, until now."

Listening to Xu Lianqiao talk about the time, things that hadn't been cared about in the past flooded into her head again, and Zhong Bai vaguely understood some things.

As early as freshman year, Wang Yan was very close to Lin Luoxue. At that time, Li Shuci liked Wang Yan. When she was a sophomore, Wang Yan and Gu Yixin broke up, and Li Shuci clumsily launched an attack, actively approaching Wang Yan. During that period of time, it was exactly when Lin Luoxue was walking with Wang Yan all day.

Suddenly, Li Shuci didn't talk to Lin Luoxue, nor did she approach Wang Yan. Her mood was very low, which lasted for a long time. Until after the New Year, after everyone participated in various social activities and internships, and started school again, Li Shuci was with Wang Yan, and then she was close to Lin Luoxue.

It was a closeness that was better than everyone else.

This matter once made Zhong Bai confused, because she was the one who had the best relationship with Li Shuci, but suddenly Li Shuci and Lin Luoxue were like sisters.

Combining this with what she saw last night, she saw Lin Luoxue coming out of Li Shuci and Wang Yan's room.

Adding these together, it naturally pointed to some things.

But Zhong Bai couldn't believe it, and didn't want to believe it...
