Lin Yi arrived just in time.
Lin Yi: "Something wrong?"
Michelle scanned the surroundings, finding nothing out of the ordinary.
Michelle: "Were you in your room all day?"
Lin Yi: "What else?"
Michelle's gaze inadvertently fell on the mobile phone on the desk. That phone had been lying obediently on Lin Yi's desk all day.
Because Michelle suspected Lin Yi of deliberately letting the person who sabotaged the artificial heart escape, she had installed a tracker on Lin Yi's phone. She had no idea that Lin Yi had discovered this long ago and had secretly switched to another phone for her own movements.
Michelle: "Drink tea tonight and you might not be able to sleep."
Lin Yi: "I need to stay alert and protect your safety. Tea helps with staying awake. Would you like a cup?"
Michelle: "No, thank you."
With that, Michelle slammed the door shut heavily.
As Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, she quickly sat down on the floor. Her bones felt like they were about to break from being beaten by Ou Yunchen!
K also hurried over to Lin Yi's room while Michelle had returned to hers.
K: "What happened to you?"
Lin Yi took off her outer layer and stood in front of the mirror. She was covered in injuries. Fortunately, she was wearing a high collar, otherwise, Michelle would have seen the marks on her neck.
K quickly turned away. He hadn't expected to see such a revealing scene the moment he entered.
Lin Yi: "Hand me the medicine."
K: "Okay."
Lin Yi: "Hurry up! Haven't you seen a woman before? You're sick!"
Lin Yi applied the ointment, hissing in pain. It was clear she was hurting badly.
K: "What happened to you? Didn't you say you were going to buy something? How did you end up with so many injuries?"
Lin Yi: "I went to see a friend."
K: "A friend who beat you up like this?"
Lin Yi: "Yes. We hadn't seen each other for a long time, and we got excited."
K: "So exciting..."
Lin Yi: "What are you thinking!"
K: "What is this?"
K accidentally noticed several pink papers on Lin Yi's desk. How could such a girlish item appear in Lin Yi's room?!
K flipped through them and discovered more creased pink papers hidden beneath some magazines.
Lin Yi: "Don't touch anything!"
K looked at Lin Yi's injuries, then at the pink papers, and remembered her plea to keep her meeting with someone a secret from Michelle...
K: "Who is it? Do I know them?"
K leaned closer to Lin Yi, looking eager for gossip.
Lin Yi: "Who? There's no one!"
K: "We're so close, just tell me. They look quite fierce, capable of making you... hehe."
K chuckled sheepishly, and Lin Yi realized the lewd fellow had misunderstood.
Lin Yi: "Get out! Get out!"
K: "You really won't tell me? Then I'll tell Michelle."
Lin Yi: "You dare! I'll kill you!"
K: "Tell me, is he handsome? As handsome as me?"
Lin Yi glared at K, almost spitting out her food.
K: "See? Compared to me, he made you feel disgusted, right?"
Lin Yi: "Scram! He's not even a fraction as handsome as you!"
K: "Impossible. Among the adopted sons, I'm considered the third most handsome. The first is dead, the second is Axe, and then there's me."
Lin Yi: "Who was the first?"
K: "O. Actually, he's not handsome, he's beautiful. We often joke that if we needed to go on a mission requiring a woman, we'd have him cross-dress."
Lin Yi suddenly felt a pang of sadness. So everyone thought O was dead...
Lin Yi: "I need to rest. You can leave now."
Lin Yi pulled open the door, urging K to leave.
K: "Don't be so rude. You might not find a man."
Lin Yi pinched her throat and said in a high-pitched voice, "Little brother, I need to rest. Please leave now."
K felt goosebumps all over his body. He shivered as he walked out, unable to stand being there for another second.
K: "So disgusting, too disgusting! It's better to be rude then."
