864: Chapter 869: Soone is Coming 864: Chapter 869: Soone is Coming Yang Yi returned to the villa he shared with Xiao Ran, and whenever he saw Xiao Ran, he felt as though sothing was off.
“What are you playing?”
Xiao Ran didn’t answer.
“Anything happened in the last few days?”
Still no answer.
Yang Yi approached Xiao Ran’s computer and saw that her Yasuo had eight kills and seven deaths, and her character was being chased after a team fight, about to die.
Soon, Xiao Ran slamd the desk and exclaid, frustrated, “It’s driving crazy!
I can’t carry this, really can’t carry this.”
“Talking about can’t carry after eight kills and eight deaths…
alright, your teammates really are uncarriable.”
Yang Yi had wanted to throw in a sarcastic remark or two, but after realizing she could still get an MVP with eight deaths, he was left speechless.
“Are you still stuck in bronze?”
Xiao Ran rolled her eyes and said, “Smurf account!
Since I’ve been with you—no, since joining the Organization of Water, when do I have ti to play?”
After angrily closing her laptop, Xiao Ran spoke listlessly, “While you were gone, Pierre Bena ca by.
He said he was in Nice for a couple of days and didn’t pressure us to decide on buying his vineyard, but it was pretty clear that’s what he wanted.
Give him a call, will you?
We can’t just leave him hanging.”
Yang Yi sighed and said, “I’ve been thinking, what if we actually bought his vineyard?
I actually think it’s quite nice.”
“Whatever you want, it’s not a lot of money.
If you want to buy it, just buy it.
Why ask ?”
“I am asking to know if you like it—if you do, I’ll really buy it.”
Xiao Ran looked at Yang Yi and said, “What does it have to do with if you buy it?”
Yang Yi, looking helpless, said, “You make it sound so joyless.”
“What do you an by that?”
“I don’t an anything, just hinting at you.”
“What does hinting at an?”
“I…
it ans nothing, it’s like a tongue twister.
Let’s not beat around the bush, just tell if you like it or not, if we should buy it or not.”
“Aye, getting anxious, are we?”
Yang Yi was almost in tears, waving his hands, “Forget it, forget it.
I can’t win this argunt with you.
I’ve decided to buy the vineyard.
If you like it, it’s yours; if not, whatever.
I’ll keep it as a safe house.”
Xiao Ran was dismissive, “For ?
I don’t want it.
If I want sothing I’ll buy it myself.
We’re rich now, aren’t we?”
Yang Yi was left speechless.
Xiao Ran stretched lazily, then said nonchalantly, “I need to play so more matches.
Today, I have to get out of this bronze pit no matter what.
It’s so frustrating.”
Alright then, still just idling here, carrying out what’s called surveillance.
The saying of n and won working together makes the job easier—why hasn’t that happened here?
It’s really frustrating.
Yang Yi went to change into his clothes and put on his designer watch.
It was ti to resu the guise of a wealthy man.
Then, he headed to the upstairs room and picked up the binoculars for a while.
Deyo’s villa was still empty, and surveillance had already beco a habit.
After being disrupted by Ian’s matters for a few days, not checking on Yang Yi felt like sothing was missing.
Staring at an empty yard was indeed boring, especially when the sa thing had been done for over a month, it beca even more tedious.
Yang Yi switched on his computer and connected to the two caras that had been installed.
The caras worked well, the images were clear, and of course, it was correct that they hadn’t captured anyone.
Yet, now, looking at the footage the caras sent back, Yang Yi felt differently.
Who could imagine how much technology was hidden within these tiny caras?
Thinking about how the potentially world-altering technology had spread from his own hands, and how he had handled Ian, the designer, a sense of accomplishnt in being part of historical progress erged within Yang Yi.
However, it was unfortunate that Yang Yi still didn’t know what material Ian had discovered, and unless this material started being used on a large scale, he would never know.
He had not clarified it at the ti, so there was no chance to understand it now.
The secret was now in Li Fan’s hands, and it wasn’t possible for Yang Yi to easily know since this material must be top secret, truly top secret.
After feeling sentintal for a while, Yang Yi turned off the caras.
As long as no one was at Deyo’s house, the caras were useless.
Yang Yi went to the next room again.
Xiao Ran was still sitting in front of the computer playing gas, but apparently, things weren’t going well for her—her teeth-gritted expression looked fierce, and Yang Yi was worried she might smash the computer in anger.
Indeed, with a heavy slap on the mouse, Xiao Ran exclaid, “Idiot!
Dummy!”
Yang Yi approached her and said, “Keep playing, I need to step out for a bit.”
Xiao Ran, without lifting her head, responded gruffly, “Go ahead, hurry up.”
“Aren’t you going to ask what I’m going to do?”
Xiao Ran looked at Yang Yi impatiently and asked, “What are you going to do?”
Xiao Ran really asked, but Yang Yi didn’t know how to respond.
What did Yang Yi want to do?
He wanted to see Woody.
Despite the severe pain from the groin injury not lasting too long, Yang Yi still felt so lingering pain over the last two days.
Even though he had checked with Kate, the main functions seed fine, but they had only tested the beginning.
Thinking about continuing the experint with Xiao Ran, Yang Yi didn’t have that thought; he dared not, and felt he couldn’t, if he did that, it would be no better than a beast.
So, he better see a doctor.
But whether to visit a hospital or see Woody, Yang Yi was sowhat indecisive.
Going to the hospital felt embarrassing, and there were taboos about saying how he was injured, while seeing Woody was different—he could at least tell him what kind of physical and psychological trauma he had suffered.
Yet, seeing Woody would be more embarrassing for Yang Yi.
But then, his lifeti happiness seed more crucial.
Yang Yi scratched his head and then said to Xiao Ran, “I need to talk to Brother Yong about sothing, do you want to co?”
Xiao Ran, without turning back, said, “No.”
“Then I’ll go by myself, I’ll be back before dinner.
We’ll go out to eat tonight; think of a nice restaurant.
I’m leaving now.”
Yang Yi wanted to create a warm family atmosphere, but unfortunately, it didn’t work with Xiao Ran, as she ignored him.
Yang Yi went out alone, but just as he drove past Deyo’s villa on his inevitable route, he noticed a car parked at the entrance of the villa.
Yang Yi didn’t slow down much; he watched from the rearview mirror as three people got out of the car, and then one of them opened the villa’s main gate.
Yang Yi’s heart started pounding, and he very much wanted to turn around and go back, but he couldn’t do that.
So, he quickly took out his phone and dialed Xiao Ran, waited for her to answer, and then stuttered, “Quick, look!
Soone has arrived!”
