Shen Weiyi returned to the villa when everyone was gathered playing Werewolf.
Seeing her come back, everyone immediately called out, "Come join us, the more the merrier."
"That’s right, they’re all too amateurish, I’m carrying the team solo."
"Where’s your face? Who got eliminated in the first round just now?"
"I was going easy on you."
The teasing among the group was visible, showing their harmonious relationship.
"No thanks, you guys have fun!" Shen Weiyi said and then went straight back to her room.
After a while, there was a knock at the door.
Shen Weiyi opened it and saw Sheng Ting standing outside, "You didn’t eat much tonight, so I packed a portion of seafood porridge for you. Have some rest after you eat."
"Thank you!" Shen Weiyi took the porridge, which was still hot, probably reheated by him.
But she indeed didn’t have much of an appetite right now. She put the porridge aside and went to the bathroom.
The others played until midnight before returning to their rooms to rest.
"Eh, where’s Brother Yi?" When the crowd dispersed, Gu Xun and Li Yue realized that Jiang Zhiyi had not returned.
Gu Xun immediately took out his phone to call him, but it rang for a long time without answer. Finally, holding his phone, he looked at Li Yue and said, "Shall we go out and look for him?"
"Okay, should we call the others to help?" Li Yue asked.
"Let’s just the two of us go look first, and we’ll ask for help if we can’t find him."
The two left the villa and searched the seaside first.
There were many more camping tents by the sea, and it took a lot of effort to find the one they had set up during the day.
"He’s not here." Gu Xun lifted the tent cover, but there was no one inside.
"Where could Brother Yi be this late?"
Both of their expressions grew serious.
"Look, there’s a figure over there, does it look like Brother Yi?"
Li Yue suddenly spotted someone sitting on the rocks by the shore.
"Let’s go check it out," said Gu Xun.
The two approached with boldness.
There were no lights in the area, just starlight from above, which made it hard to clearly see the person’s features, just a vague silhouette.
Gu Xun turned on his phone light and shined it over, and to their surprise, it indeed was Jiang Zhiyi.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Gu Xun turned off the phone light and approached, saying, "Brother Yi, why are you out here alone in the wind?"
"Yeah! We freaked out when we suddenly couldn’t find you. Thought you’d disappeared." In the dead of night, in unfamiliar territory, if they truly couldn’t find him, they would probably have to call the police.
"I’m fine, my phone was on silent," Jiang Zhiyi said slowly.
"Good to hear, it’s late, let’s go back and rest."
"Yeah, Shen Wei squeezed us into one room. It’ll be a tight fit, but three people should manage."
If not, there was always the couch to sleep on.
That was only because they had played Werewolf together all night; otherwise, they would have had to sleep in the living room.
Even though the living room couch was also sleepable, it was certainly less comfortable than a bed.
"Let’s go!" Jiang Zhiyi stood up.
The sea breeze puffed up his shirt, outlining his slender shoulders, and his tousled hair from the wind gave him an indescribable air of despondency.
Everyone woke up late the next day because they had stayed up quite late the previous night.
Gu Xun was woken up by a coughing fit.
Sitting up, he saw that Jiang Zhiyi, sleeping next to him, had pale lips and an unnaturally flushed face.
