Chapter 168: This couldn’t be your doing, right?
Without Xia Yi's help, she found it difficult to infiltrate the Star Society.
What's worse is that the society members are full of suspicion about Xia Yi's departure. Some suspect that he is an undercover agent, while others think that he may have fled to evade responsibility.
In such an environment, Leng Yuexin's identity as a "girlfriend" was also greatly questioned and excluded.
However, Brother P's attitude towards her is completely different. He wants to keep Leng Yuexin by his side.
But Leng Yuexin could see Brother P's lustful eyes at a glance, which made her feel very uncomfortable and she couldn't help but want to retreat.
That night, Leng Yuexin wandered alone outside the Star Society campus, trying to find an opportunity to sneak in and steal key confidential documents.
Just as she was concentrating on spying on the situation inside the park, suddenly, a powerful force grabbed her wrist tightly.
She turned back in astonishment and asked in surprise: "Xia Yi? What are you doing here?"
Xia Yi did not answer immediately, but pulled her quickly to the car parked nearby, then started the car and drove away from the area.
The car drove through the night and finally stopped in a remote corner.
Xia Yi's face was solemn, and he stared at Leng Yuexin silently.
Leng Yuexin looked at Xia Yi's serious expression and couldn't help asking, "Why did you appear near the Xingxing Society campus? Didn't your boss warn you to stay away from that place?"
Xia Yi sighed slightly, looked at Leng Yuexin with a half-smile, and said, "You really know a lot of things. I'm really curious, who are you?"
Leng Yuexin took a deep breath and responded calmly: "We are partners in carrying out the mission together. You have lost your memory now, so I can only face this alone."
Xia Yi frowned and retorted in a deep voice: "No, you are not my partner. My boss clearly told me that I acted alone."
Leng Yuexin took a deep breath and said frankly: "I am indeed not a policeman, but I have the same mission goal as you, so I chose to fight alongside you."
Xia Yi raised his mouth slightly with a playful smile. He raised his phone and asked again: "Then, please explain why the woman in this video appeared in my bed and said such words?"
Leng Yuexin stared at the picture on the phone screen, took a deep breath, and then calmly replied: "That was indeed me. We drank with Brother P that night, and everyone was a little drunk, so the behavior became a little difficult to control."
Xia Yi's eyes were still sharp. He stared at Leng Yuexin and said firmly, "You are lying. I have never done that kind of intimate thing to any woman, unless she has a special meaning to me."
Leng Yuexin was shocked by Xia Yi's sharpness and insight. She was slightly startled and realized that this question was not easy to avoid.
In this situation, all she had to do was admit that she had a boyfriend, but she had already decided that she would not let him suffer so much in the dungeon.
Seeing that Leng Yuexin did not respond, Xia Yi smiled slightly and said gently: "No matter what the truth is, I hope you can stay away from that society. It is too dangerous there."
Leng Yuexin sighed helplessly, nodded solemnly and said: "I understand, I will stop investigating and stay away from that society. You can rest assured."
Xia Yi nodded with satisfaction and said softly, "Then I'm relieved. In fact, I came here to say goodbye to you. My boss has arranged a safe place for me, and I will leave tomorrow."
Leng Yuexin nodded slightly, feeling a little reluctant, but still smiled and wished: "Then I wish you a safe journey!"
However, Xia Yi's eyes suddenly dimmed, and that painful look made Leng Yuexin's heart sink, as if she was back to the night when they had a deep conversation in the park after the cocktail party.
He was silent for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage, with a tremor in his voice: "You said you liked me, is that because you were drunk?"
Leng Yuexin saw Xia Yi's eyes reddened, and a wave of sadness surged in her heart. She hurriedly shook her head and said firmly: "No, it's not like that. I like you, not because of the alcohol."
A gleam of light flashed in Xia Yi's eyes, and he continued to ask: "Then...?"
Leng Yuexin's cheeks flushed slightly. She took a deep breath and said softly but firmly, "I like you, and I mean it."
After hearing this, Xia Yi gently embraced Leng Yuexin in his arms and said softly: "Since I saw you that day, I have never been able to forget you. After being discharged from the hospital, I looked for clues everywhere and even checked the surveillance in the room, just to confirm what you were like that day."
Leng Yuexin was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but lament her own negligence, forgetting to conduct a comprehensive scan of Xia Yi's residence. Who would have thought that he actually installed hidden monitoring equipment in his room.
Xia Yi gently let her go, staring at Leng Yuexin with deep eyes, "I'm leaving tomorrow, and may not be able to come back until the mission is over. Are you willing to wait for me?"
Leng Yuexin raised her head and looked at him, nodded, and said, "I will wait for you to come back."
A happy smile spread across Xia Yi's face, and he held Leng Yuexin's hand tightly: "Xinxin, thank you!"
Seeing Xia Yi's happy smile, Leng Yuexin felt that the decision to come to this copy was worth it. At least here, they would not be so painful and sad anymore.
The next day, after seeing Xia Yi off, Leng Yuexin returned to the system base with a heavy heart. She pressed the recall button without hesitation.
Mo Ran appeared in front of her almost immediately. Seeing her worried look, he asked with concern, "What happened? You look wrong."
Leng Yuexin sighed softly, frowned, and puffed up her cheeks slightly. She asked with some dissatisfaction and confusion: "Why did Xia Yi suddenly lose his memory? This is not your fault, right?"
Mo Ran immediately waved his hand to clarify, his face full of innocence: "This has nothing to do with me. When the favorability of the target reaches its peak, the system will sometimes trigger some plot changes in order to maintain the progress of the mission, such as amnesia, disappearance, or even more serious consequences."
As he spoke, Mo Ran opened the favorability interface. Sure enough, Xia Yi's favorability was full and the points were successfully credited to his account.
Leng Yuexin looked at all this and shook her head helplessly: "I had planned to dismantle that society with him, but now he has lost his memory. Not only can he not continue the mission, but I am also in trouble."
Mo Ran pondered for a moment and suggested, "Why don't you try resetting the instance? Reset it to the day you fell down the stairs."
