Frustrated, shi+ Jin collapsed on the bed ”That's it, we're done—the plan to sneak in and snatch Long shi+ is definitely not going to work It's i's cabin is too deep in, I'd never get that far”

Xiao Si seized the opportunity to interject, <i don't=”” recoerous=”” darling=”” would=”” never=”” agree=””>

”I know it's dangerous, but I just can't help thinking…” shi+ Jin looked at the ceiling, staring as if in a trance After a long time, he exhaled and threw his forear concerned is fine, but I shouldn't losewill do first—Lian Jun said he wouldn't be able to endure and will bring Long shi+ out to parade him before us We just need a little patience”

shi+ Jin was taken aback ”Is the bet still valid? I ht it was long expired”

”Of course it's valid” Lian Jun closed the door then slid into the bathrooed it into the socket at the head of the bed and beckoned to shi+ Jin, who stood in the middle of the cabin like a fool, ”Come here and sit You should quickly dry your hair after a bath, or you'll catch a cold It's best to be careful”

“Isn't that what I told you on the island?” shi+ Jin wanted to laugh He obediently sat down and reached out, hand open: ”Let et your hands wet”

Lian Jun eyed him silently He er's shoulder, and pulled hi the hairdryer on with the other It was quite obvious he didn't agree

shi+ Jin let himself be pulled and felt the hand on his shoulder ently push it down He kneouldn't be able to dissuade Lian Jun, so he conceded: ”All right, all right I blow-dried your hair once, you're going to blow-dry my hair now, so we're even” He bowed his head lower, to make it more convenient to dry

”We're not” Lian Jun pushed his hand in his hair, gentlythe hairdryer, he asked, ”So what's your answer?”

What a simple question

shi+ Jin set his hands on his knees Because his head was lowered, he could only see Lian Jun's jaw and neck Unconsciously, his eyes becauess is, the reason Phanto place earlier than usual this year was to observe us, find a chance to talk to us and ask us for help”

Lian Jun's fingertips brushed his ear ”You're only half-right”

”Huh? Only half?” shi+ Jin couldn't help but look up

Lian Jun wasn't prepared for that, and the hand he held on the side of the teenager's head slipped and landed on his face His other hand hurriedly pulled the hairdryer away to avoid hitting hied to hide the warain

”Don't e of the situation to pinch shi+ Jin's face and pushed his head down again ”Phantom came early not only to observe us but also to observe the authorities The same with their purpose: Old Ghost not only wanted to ask us for help but was hoping to get a connection with the officials through us Strictly speaking, even asking for help was secondary—what he really wanted was to use us to convey his deterovernet it The officials don't need a second Annihilation because it's not easy to control”

shi+ Jin's head was pushed a little further this time and als, outlined by the robe He reed theently, replying, ”It seeht, not coh Since this is the case, how should we decide the bet's results?”

Lian Jun'sthe hairdryer, ignoring shi+ Jin's unruly hands The ear peeking from thecloser ”Let's e the stakes: ill both fulfill the other's one request What do you think?”

His warm breath caressed shi+ Jin's ear, utterly different from the hairdryer's hot air Somehow, it felt intioosebumps all over, and couldn't help but turn his head ”This is fine So, the bet is settled?”

Lian Jun leaned sideways in just the right er's cheek against his chest

It was close enough for shi+ Jin to hear the otherwas nor his position, touched shi+ Jin's hair ”All right, it's dry,” he said Then, hehand” on his knees away and backed up his wheelchair

Maintaining his leaning posture, shi+ Jin looked up at hio to sleep” Lian Jun didn't stay er He set the hairdryer on the table and left It seemed he really came over just to talk about the bet

shi+ Jin watched hi door woke him up He rubbed his face and ear which had stuck to Lian Jun's chest, took a look at the hairdryer, and said, confused, ”Why do I feel that Lian Jun was a little weird just now…”

Delighted, Xiao Si proe how?=””>

”Somehow, I feel…” shi+ Jin unconsciously o and shook his head ”I don't know… Oh, forget it, let's sleep, it's already late” And he siot in bed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep

Xiao Si nearly crashed It hated it didn't have a physical body so it could drag hi

By breakfast tiernail identification arrived—they were indeed Long shi+'s nails The person who brought the, who now sported dark circles under his eyes

Lian Jun's forehead wrinkled in a slight frown ”Uncle Long, you didn't have to get involved in this, I'd understand”

The doctor looked haggard, but his voice was resolute ”It was uilty Jun-shao, you were kind and didn't holdaway from this We were father and son for more than twenty years Now, it's time to sever our relationshi+p”

Since this was his attitude, Lian Jun persuaded him noestion to take a rest in the cabin but instead acco opposite Lian Jun, with a complicated expression on his face It was hard to tell what he was thinking

shi+ Jin wanted to coled

Probably noticing his expression, Uncle Long suddenly broke the silence, ”I picked Long shi+ up in adealer, and his ood people and died early I was afraid Long shi+ would follow in their footsteps, so I've been very strict with hi in silence

”He was a withdrawn, unsociable child The previous leader advisedto Annihilation and let hiroith the other children, but I was afraid he would be bullied and refused Now that I think about it, his suggestion was correct—growing up without interacting with their peers really isn't good for children's develophed, raised his hand, and pinched the bridge of his nose ”Maybe I was too strict with hiot those ideas… I'm sorry, shi+ Jin”

shi+ Jin asked, confused, ”Why are you apologizing to lanced towards the conference rooued He said, his voice dropping to al shi+ the chance to get close to Jun-shao, Jun-shao would've never becoentle and often smiled If the Jun-shao you met was still the Jun-shao of that year, you would…”

Gentle Lian Jun, who often s hih shi+ Jin's mind, and the huain He couldn't help but raise his hands to rub thelanced at hi, but sed his words He said instead, ”You would be s, blind to the feelings Jun-shao has for you
