Chapter 189 I promised you
Ji Xingyi and Jiang Lin rested at home during the day, and received a call from Chen Jiangqiao in the evening.
At that moment, Jiang Lin was lying in bed, nestled in the man's arms, playing games on Ji Xingyi's phone when Chen Jiangqiao's voice call invitation popped up. Her face darkened instantly, and she handed the phone to Ji Xingyi.
Ji Xingyi didn't answer the phone immediately. She looked at Jiang Lin, but Jiang Lin didn't say anything either.
But to Ji Xing, this silent demeanor was like a sweet and sour gummy candy—so adorable. So, after taking a look at the young man, he clicked on the link.
Who would have thought this would turn out to be a multi-person voice chat, with not only Chen Jiangqiao, but also Wang Zhe, Jingkang, Su Yuning, and Chi Xuan. Everyone was actually there!
"Young Master Ji, is Third Brother by your side? I pulled him, but he ignored me!" Wang Zhe's mournful voice instantly filled the entire room.
Jiang Lin disdainfully pressed the volume down button: "I'm here, get to the point!" Spit it out!
Upon hearing Jiang Lin's voice, Wang Zhe jumped up in the dormitory: "I thought you lived at home, but I didn't expect you two to be living together! This is too much, you didn't even invite me to a meal!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Let's get down to business!" Chen Jiangqiao quickly explained that they had already made arrangements to meet in Hangzhou at the end of the year for an offline gathering, and all that was missing were Jiang Lin and Ji Xingyi.
Ji Xingyi then remembered that when Jiang Lin, Jingkang, and Zhou Jue were trapped in the underground palace, the group outside formed an alliance and made a promise: as long as they survived the game, they would meet offline together.
Ji Xingyi hadn't deliberately hidden it from Jiang Lin; she had genuinely forgotten. Back in the real world, the two were consumed by thoughts of being affectionate.
Chen Jiangqiao said sarcastically, "Ji Xingyi, you promised yourself, you're not going to go back on your word, are you?"
After glancing at Jiang Lin's expression, Ji Xingyi replied, "I'll cover the entire itinerary and hotel. You can handle the details, and I'll transfer the money to you. Don't be shy."
Chen Jiangqiao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and Wang Zhe screamed excitedly. Su Yuning and Chi Xuan chattered away, asking what was good to eat and fun to do in Hangzhou.
Jingkang, unusually, kept up with the pace of the young people, saying that he was afraid of heights and wouldn't fly, so he could just book him a high-speed rail ticket.
As Jiang Lin listened to the cheerful laughter coming from his phone, his lips drooped slightly, and he silently clenched his fist.
Ji Xingyi changed the subject: "But Jiang Lin and I won't participate. You guys have fun."
Jiang Lin looked up abruptly, and the next second the man gave her a deep kiss.
On the phone, Chen Jiangqiao, Wang Zhe, Chi Xuan, and Su Yuning all anxiously asked what was wrong. Ji Xingyi hung up the call, hugged Jiang Lin in his arms, shifted to a more comfortable position, and continued kissing her.
But a short while later, the phone rang again; it was Chen Jiangqiao again.
After thinking for a moment, Ji Xingyi answered the phone and told Chen Jiangqiao directly that she had decided to cut off all contact with him.
Chen Jiangqiao quickly apologized for what he had said to Jiang Lin in the dungeon. He had originally planned to say those words to Jiang Lin in person when they met offline, but he hadn't expected Ji Xingyi to be so resolute.
"We've been through thick and thin together, there's no need to lose even a friendship, right? This time I really have no feelings for you anymore. I wish you two a long and happy life together." Chen Jiangqiao became a little sad as he spoke, but this time it wasn't because of a breakup, but simply because of this short-lived camaraderie.
Ji Xingyi didn't like beating around the bush either, and answered bluntly that not only Chen Jiangqiao, but he and his group of people would no longer be in contact, so they would not participate in offline gatherings.
Chen Jiangqiao was stunned for several seconds, then he understood. Ji Xingyi had severed not only his connection with him, but with everyone else.
The sound of a lighter came from the other end of the phone, and Chen Jiangqiao's voice was very disappointed: "Isn't that unnecessary? Why do this?"
Ji Xingyi: "This is good for me, for you, and for all of you."
Behind Jiang Lin lies a new world, and behind him also exists the mysterious power of Death Soul Island.
This is the best choice for everyone.
The moment Ji Xingyi threw down the phone, Jiang Lin hugged her tightly.
Ji Xingyi chuckled: "I promised you, so I have to do at least one thing. From now on, it'll just be the two of us."
Jiang Lin leaned against the man's chest, listening to his heartbeat: "No regrets?"
Ji Xingyi deliberately frowned: "It seems like I'm starting to regret it. What should I do?"
Jiang Lin laughed at the obvious poor acting. With a quick glance, she decided to play along and lifted her leg to rest on Ji Xingyi's thigh, rubbing against him: "You can do whatever you want."
Ji Xingyi's heart suddenly raced. Just as she managed to calm the person down, a third call came in. This time, she really wouldn't answer. Instead, Jiang Lin reached out and pressed the answer button.
Zhang Hui's roar immediately came through the loudspeaker: "Ji Xingyi, you better hold back tonight. If you can't hold it in, go take a cold shower! Take care of Linlin's health!"
Ji Xingyi then remembered that her heart rate monitoring on her bracelet would be displayed on Zhang Hui's phone. Zhang Hui usually wouldn't check it unless his phone alerted him. She guessed it was because of what happened last night that his mother was keeping a close eye on him.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Xingyi quickly threw away the bracelet and prepared to continue, but Jiang Lin raised his foot and pressed it against his chest.
Jiang Lin smiled slyly: "Aren't you going to listen to Brother Hui? You need to rest tonight!"
Rest? Ji Xingyi lowered his head speechlessly, his gaze downward. Both of them were wearing loose pajamas, and the young man's posture, with so much skin exposed, made it seem like he was about to rest.
Jiang Lin slightly moved her shoulders, and her pajamas slipped down to reveal her fair shoulders: "What will happen when you get old if you indulge in too much sex? I think what Brother Hui said makes a lot of sense."
This coy, hesitant demeanor was exactly what Kiyoshi wanted.
My wife's legs are so white, how can I resist!
He grabbed the young man's ankle and pressed him down.
Jiang Lin still felt sorry for Ji Xingyi being scolded the next day, so just in case, she used her mental power to make Zhang Hui sleep soundly so that he couldn't hear anything.
The result of continuous indulgence was that the bed collapsed in the middle of the night when things were getting heated!
The next day, the two gave the same story, blaming everything on the manufacturer's quality issues. Zhang Hui was a little suspicious, but he really hadn't heard anything the night before, so he ordered a new bed from a different manufacturer.
The two managed to get away with it; Jiang Lin went back to school, while Ji Xingyi went to the company.
The unexpected turn of events in the "Beauty Fan" instance led Ji Xingyi to decide to hand over the company's affairs to a specialist.
It was close to the end of the year, and everyone in the company was puzzled. Someone reported the matter to Old Master Ji.
Grandpa Ji called on the evening of the 21st, asking Ji Xingyi to come back to the old house.
Because Jiang Lin's birthday is on the 22nd, Ji Xingyi and Zhang Hui set off for the old house early in the morning so they could make it back to celebrate Jiang Lin's birthday.
The old house remained unchanged. Ji Xingyi was prepared for this situation and had nothing to be nervous about. However, upon entering, he witnessed an unexpected scene.
Ji Wanzhi, Lin's father, and Lin Rui'an were all in the old house. Beside Lin Rui'an was a young girl whom he didn't recognize.
"Brother!" Lin Rui'an stood up, his expression unusually tense.
