Chapter 74 : C74
On Chi Ying’s side, however, she was a little absent-minded.
Since she heard that conversation the previous night, she had not been able to fall asleep, and she was very upset at the moment.
Gu Chi said that he liked her…
She blushed suddenly, and the wind power around her got instantly removed, almost making her fall.
Chi Ying clawed at the window outside the office building, wishing she could find a place to get in.
Why couldn’t they go farther away and talk?! He just let her hear it!
[Actually, at that distance, normal people couldn’t have heard it at all.]
Chi Ying ignored it, and remained sleepy.
The system silently shook its head.
Sure enough, human love would only delay things. Its host was not in the mood to work!
[Host, you don’t have to care too much, at worst, just refuse him if he confesses.]
Chi Ying pursed her lips, and subconsciously imagined the scene of Gu Chi standing in front of her confessing…
She trembled slightly, only feeling that her nose was sore, and an indescribably strange feeling in her heart. She felt awkward, but it made her face hot.
Chi Ying covered the tip of her nose, it was the first time that she felt embarrassment so unbearable.
Instead of letting her face that, it was better to just let her pass out.
The system was acutely aware that something was wrong.
[Why are they having such a big reaction?]
Chi Ying turned over and sat on the high open-air window sill, and said casually, “Isn’t it normal to have a big reaction?”
The system carefully probed: [That’s not true either. However, if Lu Yunfei was the one who said those words yesterday, what would you think?]
Chi Ying tilted her head, thought for a while and said, “A little embarrassed?”
[A little embarrassed? But host, your current state doesn’t seem to be a little…]
Chi Ying was stunned for a moment, if the person was not Gu Chi, her reaction would indeed be different.
She looked up and recalled the common sense that the system had instilled in her.
After thinking for a moment, Chi Ying said with a shocked face, “Could it be because I like him too?!”
Because she was facing someone she liked, so the reaction was different from others, right?
The system took a deep breath and interrupted frantically: [No, no, no!]
The system said, feeling tired: […There is no need to be so extreme!]
If it had known, it would not have said so much.
It didn’t know much about human feelings. If its host didn’t have any special thoughts about Gu Chi, wouldn’t it just create a mess?
Chi Ying touched her still hot face, and tried her best to put that matter behind her.
She needed to complete the task first, as for other things, she would save them for later.
…
When returning to the campsite at night to sort out the clues found that day, Gu Chi keenly sensed something was wrong.
He found that Chi Ying was acting very strange that day.
As long as her eyes met his, she hurriedly looked away.
Even when eating at night, Chi Ying stood beside the small round table for a long time, but didn’t sit down.
But as soon as he sat down, when he looked up at her, Chi Ying suddenly blushed, walked away and sat in the farthest diagonal position from him, then she silently picked up the bowl, which covered most of her face.
Gu Chi: “…”
Sensing Chi Ying’s intentional distance, he pursed his lips and lowered his head to eat.
He just realized his feelings, and before he had time to take the first step, he stumbled directly into the pit.
And, he had no idea about the reason for it.
Gu Chi lowered his head and said nothing.
Lu Yunfei did not miss that scene. He couldn’t see what was going on between the two, but the atmosphere between them was inexplicably subtle.
He subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at Song Shi beside him.
He knew that Song Shi was interested in Gu Chi, and he was worried that she would be in a bad mood because of it. But when he turned his head, he only saw her lowered head with a stiff expression.
It didn’t look like she noticed the appearance of the two of them.
Lu Yunfei raised his eyebrows. He thought it was a good thing, so he didn’t say anything.
…
At night when everyone had already fallen asleep, Song Shi tossed and turned in the quilt, still not sleepy. She was suffering from a fever, and she had been distracted since the previous night. After she realized it, she couldn’t remember what she was thinking. It was as if it was not just her own consciousness that existed in her body.
The cool wind of late autumn came in through the gap at the bottom of the tent, she stretched out her hand dully, wanting the cool wind to touch her hot skin.
Her breathing got a little short.
She knew in her heart that if she dragged on, there would be only one result for her.
That person said that as long as she went to him, she could live.
Song Shi glanced at the two sleeping soundly, and got up quietly. Step by step, she stepped out of the tent and walked slowly toward Yuhu City.
“Captain Gu!” Early the next morning, Mu Yu searched around the camp for a long time, and after confirming that Song Shi was really missing, she rushed to call Gu Chi.
“Captain Gu, Song Shi is missing.”
“Have you searched everywhere?” Gu Chi asked with a frown.
She was still there the previous night, it was impossible for her to disappear out of thin air.
Mu Yu shook her head, “I’ve searched everywhere. Beside that, Song Shi doesn’t have any attack ability, so it’s absolutely impossible for her to run far away.”
Chi Ying walked over from the other side, “I didn’t find her either.”
“Was she still there when you slept last night?”
Chi Ying replied, “Yes.”
When she fell asleep, she saw Song Shi with her back to her.
She bit her lower lip.
The wind came in from under the tent the previous night, and the sound was too loud, and she was already asleep, so she couldn’t hear other movements.
Otherwise, they would not have lost her.
“Is there anything else missing?”
Hearing that, Mu Yu immediately ran back to check things in a hurry, “Captain Gu, a communicator is missing!”
