The more Xu Zhi thought about it, the more his eyes turned towards Shen Yao, revealing a lot of complex emotions that he himself wasn't even aware of.

Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Who are the people who want to cause trouble for you?"

Shen Yao had just saved the photo of the "battle-damaged version" of Xu Zhi on her phone, intending to keep it for later use (if necessary), when she heard Xu Zhi ask this question.

"Those people..." Shen Yao answered vaguely, "I don't know when I got into trouble with them."

Xu Zhi: "I'll help you check later..."

Shen Yao waved her hands quickly, "Don't bother me, I'll take care of it myself later."

After saying that, seeing that Xu Zhi didn't seem to agree, he changed the subject in time, "If there is anything I need your help with, I will tell you, and I guess I will trouble you then."

Xu Zhi: "Well, tell me if you have something to say."

Shen Yao nodded.

......

In the afternoon, Xu Zhi gave Shen Yao a day off and also gave himself a day off.

Come to think of it, since she came here to practice, it seems that she has not had a single day to relax. Xu Zhi saw it, and he also remembered that she had no appetite this morning and didn't eat much. So after telling her that he would not train in the afternoon and give her a day off, he took the opportunity to take her to a private restaurant nearby that had great food for dinner.

Shen Yao was a little surprised. Just when she was about to agree to him, her phone suddenly vibrated. It turned out that Zhou Cheng himself sent her a message:

[Zhou Cheng: In one hour, I will take you to Quanlin Villa to meet someone.]

Shen Yao's mood when she saw this message can be said to be extremely complicated.

How should I put it? It's like the feeling of a worker who is happily preparing to leave after work and has even made an appointment with friends for dinner, but is suddenly told to get fully armed and go to a social event.

Xu Zhi didn't know what happened, but he sensed her mood change, so he asked, "What's wrong? Don't you want to go?"

Shen Yao took a breath and said helplessly: "I want to go, but I can't."

Xu Zhi asked: "Why?"

Shen Yao tapped the phone screen with her fingertips and said, "There's work coming in from the part-time job."

Xu Zhi saw the sweat on her forehead that had not yet dissipated. Thinking of her great physical exertion today and her unhealthy physical condition, he pursed his lips and said, "Aren't you feeling unwell today? Do you still want to do a part-time job? If it's not a very important part-time job, why not just turn it down? If you need the compensation for this part-time job, I'll give it to you."

Shen Yao looked at him with more gratitude in her eyes: "Thank you for your kindness, but I really have to do this, and I need to do it quickly, so..."

She paused.

"Next time, I'll treat you."

Xu Zhi didn't say anything, his eyes stayed on her phone for a while, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of part-time job could be so important that made such a casual person's nonchalant expression change the moment he saw the message, his whole person seemed to become a little depressed, completely different from her usual self.

"Oh, right..." Shen Yao suddenly thought that it would be bad to drive directly to Zhou Cheng with her scrapped car, lest he find out something and become alert, so she asked Xu Zhi: "Can I... borrow your car?"
