Xiang Yi was slightly stunned.
Ling Ye looked up at her and said in a hoarse voice hoarse, "Sister Xiang Yi, you know, no one will wait for me to go home, no one..."
A hint of a fruity scent with citrus notes suddenly wafted up to the tip of his nose as Xiang Yi squatted down in front of him.
"It's okay, when you finish all the tasks, you can choose a favorite realm to stay in."
"Can I... choose to stay in your realm, Sister Xiang Yi?"
As soon as he said that, his expression suddenly changed.
His face became visibly pale and it as if he had lost all vitality in an instant. Ling Ye parted his lips before pressing them together again. His pupils were dilated and he seemed to be talking to the system in his head.
Xiang Yi vaguely heard a few words.
"No...it's impossible..."
"You betrayed me? Even you betrayed me?!"
"Who else could it be except you..."
Bang...
The young man fell to the ground.
Xiang Yi quickly checked on him.
"Sister..."
Ling Ye called out and tried to grab Xiang Yi's hand but to no avail. Before he could even touch the corner of her shirt, he fell to the ground...
...
...
Late at night, the hospital.
Seated on the long bench in the corridor, Xiang Yi began to get distracted as her gaze was blank.
A man's jacket was suddenly draped on her slender shoulders and she was asked a question.
"Ling Ye is awake." Shi Sui said, "Do you want to go see him?"
Xiang Yi snapped out of her thoughts and nodded.
She walked to the door of the emergency room, and saw the dazed young man through the clear glass but she felt as if she was looking at another person.
She suddenly stopped in her tracks.
A moment later, Xiang Yi looked down and said, "Good that he's alright."
However, there was no longer a need to look at him.
Well because he was no longer the same Ling Ye.
'Where did he go? What happened? Is he still... alive?'
Xiang Yi sighed, unable to control herself even though she told herself to stop thinking about it.
Someone suddenly held her fingers and interlocked his fingers with hers.
"Xiang Yi, I'm here."
"Yes." Xiang Yi assented and rested her forehead on his shoulder. She said, "Boyfriend, lend me your shoulder for a while."
Shi Sui sensed the change in her mood. Seeing that she did not want to talk about it, he did not probe any further and instead just gently patted her back with his other hand.
A few moments later.
Xiang Yi got a grip on her emotions and said, "Boyfriend, let's go home."
The words 'go home' hit the soft spot of his heart and he said with some mellow emotions, "Okay, anything you say, Xiang Yi."
Before leaving, he glanced at Ling Ye who was in the emergency room and suddenly squinted his long, narrow, and dark eyes.
'Was Xiang Yi's body swapped in such a manner back then too?'
...
...
It was an eventful and chaotic night.
Firstly, Ling Ye suddenly passed out and was conveyed to the hospital. Out of concern for his beloved apprentice, he drove to the hospital overnight but he ended up getting into a traffic accident.
The next morning, the news about Tian Zhi and his apprentice being hospitalized became viral on the Internet.
Qin Wanyan never thought that she would draw flak for this matter.
The netizens were slamming her because she was a jinx!
Qin Wanyan was so furious that she started trembling. 'Why? Just why!?!'
'I'm the chosen one!'
The system coaxed her for a long time but she retorted so hostilely that it didn't dare to answer anymore.
All of a sudden, the system made a "huh" sound and said, "The system has detected a problem with the helper and has now erased the helper. You have been assigned a new task and you will earn a generous reward for completing it!"
Qin Wanyan beamed with joy when she heard that there was going to be a reward.
"What task?"
"Wooing the president of Xing Chen Entertainment, Xiang Feng!"
