Chapter 40 (2/2)

”What are you looking at?” The question asked in a low, gentle voice broke the silence

shi+ Jin, as if caught in some sort of spell, blurted out, ”I want to see if you're wearing pants The wind blows so hard that if you aren't, I'll be able to see your legs”

Lian Jun: ”……”

shi+ Jin, whose brain caught up to his mouth: ”……”

Xiao Si, the captive audience: <……>

The warm atmosphere burst like a soap bubble

Stiff, shi+ Jin looked up at Lian Jun, sta out, ”No, it's… I mean, I'm curious, you only wear robes, I've never seen you in other clothes Is it to look good? Well, it really does look good on you…” He didn't forget to flatter

However, Lian Jun didn't feel flattered He looked at shi+ Jin expressionlessly, covered his legs with a thin blanket, and said, ”It's because, for people who have trouble walking, robes are more convenient to put on and take off, and don't have so many complicated buttons and zippers—it saves a lot of time” Then, he turned the wheelchair around and left the deck

That simple answer stunned shi+ Jin

Xiao Si said in disbelief, <jinjin, you=”” thought=”” darling=”” is=”” dressing=”” like=”” this=”” because=”” he's=”” vain?=”” you're=”” too=”” superficial!=””>

shi+ Jin put his feet on the lounge chair and hugged his knees, hiding his face in theive was that he watched a bit too ination ran riot

In the earlyhours, when the shi+p docked at the port, shi+ Jin was sleeping like a pig, not even stirring Not bothering to wake his on the island

By the tiht The shi+p was already e to take him to the island

In theand looked at the nificent, crescent-shaped island surrounded by cerulean waters He couldn't help but whistle ”It's beautiful What's that there in the bay, a water scooter?”

”You have good eyes, it really is the water scooter I'll take you to play with it later,” Gua Two said ”There areunexpected happens, from today to the end of March is our vacation time We can enjoy ourselves to our heart's content”

This pulled shi+ Jin's attention from the island back to the man ”Only until the end of March? Do we have soal underworld organizations' conference Every April, the governister all the anizations in China, then discuss with their leaders the cleanup of the illegal ones Jun-shao has to attend personally, and stare at the underworld side to make them behave,” Gua Two explained as he led the way off the shi+p

shi+ Jin followed hi place? In China?”

”No, on the high seas The governe cruise shi+p there, and everyone boards it You know, even if the underworld organization is legal, people in our line of work can't help but worry that the officials will take advantage of the occasion to catch all of us in one net They'd never agree to gather on land”

shi+ Jin nodded in understanding He glanced at Lian Jun's progress bar which went back to 500 after Chen Qing's rescue and inwardly drew a big red mark on April's calendar

Lian Jun's island was called Crescent Bay Island, after its shape It was privately owned and surrounded by the sea, so there was no need to worry about sneak attacks Because of this, everyone's attitude became more relaxed, not as tense and cautious as in B City and Y Province

The place they would live in was a cos at the center of the island It included three huge villas, a large viewing deck, big and s halls with separate kitchens serving food of different styles, a gy, tennis and basketball courts, and a

shi+ Jin was like a country bu city As he looked around listening to Gua Two's introduction, he exclaiination of ordinary people This place was a paradise compared with Flowery Orchard and the club in B City!

”This is where we live, there are different recreation areas in the other parts of the island Later, you can get theive you a pass card,” Gua Two finished and led shi+ Jin into the largest villa in the middle

shi+ Jin woke up ”Gua Six?”

Gua Two remembered shi+ Jin hadn't seen Gua Six before, and explained, ”Gua Six is this island's ads and spend the winter with Jun-shao, but because Jun-shao stayed in B City a little longer this tientle character and takes care of the logistics and such I'll introduce you in a while”

shi+ Jin nodded The talked through the coantly decorated villa lobby and ascended the wooden staircase

The second floor of the villa was large There were two spacious master bedroo roo chairs

Gua Two took shi+ Jin into one of the master bedrooms He pointed to the wardrobe and said, ”The new clothes for you are here Look around the roo, I have so I need to do now” Then, he went to leave

shi+ Jin stopped him and asked, ”Where do you live, next door? It looks like there are only two roo, on other floors? What about Jun-shao?”

He'd subconsciously concluded Gua Tas his neighbor—that first question wasn't asked in a questioning tone at all

Gua Two glanced at hie expression He kept silent for a moment, then said, ”The first and third floor of this villa is empty I live in the villa on your left—if you call me from the terrace, I'll hear it in my room You have a flatmate, but it's not me”

Surprised, shi+ Jin asked, ”Then who? Gua Nine?”

Gua One, Gua Three, and Gua Five usually lived close to Lian Jun because they helped him to deal with Annihilation's ave him a profound look and deliberately kept him in suspense: ”No, it's not Gua Nine You'll knohen you s away, I really need to go take care of so” He turned around and walked out of the door

shi+ Jin watched hihbor business, but quickly forgot about it and threw himself on the soft, bouncy bed He happily rolled around on it and looked at the splendid panorama behind the s

”This really is a paradise,” he sighed, contented Relanced at the time It was already breakfast time, he pulled out his phone, made a call, and waited for it to connect ”Jun-shao, where are you? Have you eaten breakfast?” He asked

{Did you get off the shi+p?} The sound of running water accompanied Lian Jun's question

”Yeah, Gua Two just showed me to my room Where are you, Jun-shao? If you haven't had breakfast, let's eat together”

The phone was silent for a , at the same time when the door to shi+ Jin's room was pushed open Lian Jun appeared at the entrance, still holding his phone, and said, ”I'm here, you—”

Shocked, shi+ Jin twisted around and stared at him ide eyes

They looked at each other in consternation

Lian Jun was du on the bed, whose clothes rolled up when he tossed about, and now revealed his waist He blinked, then moved his eyes away, backed off, and closed the door His voice cao to the dining hall for breakfast}

shi+ Jin looked at the door, looked at his phone, and jumped out of bed He ran to the door and threw it open ”Jun-shao, how did you come so fast, are you…”

Lian Jun eyed his messy clothes He turned around and returned to his roo the door in front shi+ Jin's nose {I told you to get dressed, why did you co like that?} His voice caain

shi+ Jin studied the door before hied the question he was going to ask into a declarative sentence: ”So you are my flatmate” This was the nearest they ever lived to each other
