After Xu Anyi took a shower and sat down at the dining table with a glass of honey and lemonade, Lin Jiqiao put the spoon into her bowl.

Xu Anyi picked up the spoon and tasted it, then nodded repeatedly, "It's great."

The temperature is just right, neither hot nor cold.

Seeing her unabashed praise, Lin Jiqiao took a mouthful of the porridge himself and tasted it for a few seconds, only thinking that there might be too much rock sugar.

"Have a meeting with Tumbs this morning and go to the West End to see a lawyer this afternoon?"

Xu Anyi checked the schedule, "Yes. If all goes well, I will be home at the usual time in the evening."

Lin Jiqiao held up the bowl with both hands, "I have other work to do today, so if the lawyer needs anything else, you can leave a message to me first, and I will check the information every hour."

"It's okay." Xu Anyi broke a piece of steamed bun and put it into the pudding's small bowl, "I'll make a list of supplementary materials for you, and you can concentrate on your work."

"Hmm!" Lin Jiqiao nodded heavily.

The two of them had a good breakfast, and Xu Anyi went out on time.

Lin Jiqiao washed the dishes, packed his things, restored the alarm at the north gate, checked the alarm at the south gate, and closed the glass door connecting both sides, then went back to the bedroom and locked the door, turned on all the monitors, and changed the security code for the entrance to the work area , then boarded the software and sent a message to Gu Pan.

- she's out, are you here?

Gu Pan simply replied "No".

After lunch, Lin Jiqiao asked again.Gu Pan was typing for a while, and a video call request popped up.

Lin Jiqiao hesitated, clicked accept on the computer, and put on the earphones.

"I, we are in the car, it's not very easy to type." Gu Pan was wrapped in a hoodie, with a look of lovelessness, and he stumbled, "You can't guess what car we are in."

She switched the rear camera, and what came into view was densely packed potatoes, and a pair of calves with ankles exposed, all buried in potatoes below the ankles.

"Small van." Gu Pan raised his phone, "Look where we are."

Looking around, there is a vast expanse, and the picture is bumpy like throwing a mobile phone into a drum washing machine.

"Hiss." Lin Jiqiao felt his nose hurt again.

"I'm telling you——Lin Lin..." Gu Pan's words were cut off suddenly in the middle, the screen flickered suddenly, and Lin Jiqiao's heart was also raised suddenly. He blocked the camera with one hand, and waited for it to move away. A murderous face appeared on the screen.

"If, it's us, we can't find someone with the surname Chu, I'll..." The man's expression remained ferocious, but the vibrato eased the murderous look, "I'll take the cat home."

Gu Pan slapped her, "Hey, don't scare us, Lin Lin." She took the phone back and switched back to the front camera, "That's Chen Xi, Mr. Chen, Mr. Er, Mr. Er Er."

Lin Jiqiao typed a series of ellipsis in a daze, indicating that he had nothing to say.

A potato flew across the screen, Chen Xi leaned close to Gu Pan, occupying two-thirds of the screen, "How about it, she didn't suspect us, did she?"

Lin Jiqiao typed: No.

"Not bad, this move is quite clever." Chen Xi said.

Probably because the pickup truck finally drove on a relatively flat road, the screen was not so shaky, the voice was not so trembling, and Chen Xi was not so murderous, "According to the plan, where should we be today?"

Lin Jiqiao spelled out the name of a city in a European country.

Chen Xi squinted her eyes for a while, "Okay, I don't know where it is, you can help us operate it later." She turned her head and talked to Gu Pan, "Does she wear glasses? She really looks like those little weirdos who wear glasses, Do you only wear T-shirts every day, and put a short-sleeved T-shirt on top of that long-sleeved T-shirt?"

"...Don't talk nonsense." Gu Pan said angrily, "Lin Lin rarely wears glasses, and she's not a nerd like in American dramas."

- i'm not sheldon.

Lin Jiqiao also hurriedly clarified his clothes.

-Panpan help me match the clothes.

"Panpan, when will you help me match it?" Chen Xi asked, continuing to grab the mic, "Don't type what you say, it looks really laborious."

I'm not texting you.Lin Jiqiao pouted.Take the microphone out of the drawer anyway.

"How long will you be there?"

"Hey, Master Wang, how long will it take for us to arrive?" Chen Xi asked the cockpit in front with a loud voice, the noise was too loud, and no one answered.

Gu Pan put on the other earphone, with a gloomy expression, "Before we set off, we said it would take us two and a half hours to reach the village, so I guess it will take another half an hour." She switched to the rear camera and held up her phone, "Good boy, Lin Lin. Come enjoy the autumn of the motherland with us."

Lin Jiqiao looked at it twice, then zoomed the video window to the minimum.

She doesn't have wilderness phobia, she just can't appreciate the autumn scenery of swaying with the truck and zooming out to see only a patch of yellow.

Chu Xing suddenly closed down that day, and the computer was turned on only a few days later in the provincial capital of Gansu Province. He sent an email to the mysterious minibus saying that he would go back to his hometown for a while, and do not contact him during this time.

Lin Jiqiao forwarded the email to Gu Pan, who immediately chased after him if he wanted to know where his home was. Chen Xi asked for the address from Han Cheng without saying a word.

Therefore, Gu Pan was the main planner of this operation, and Chen Xi was responsible for expanding it into an adventure plan. Lin Jiqiao had no choice but to provide them with technical support—including but not limited to drawing up a fake ten-day Asia-Europe itinerary, providing Proxy location services, etc.

"I still don't think it's good to do this." Lin Jiqiao said quietly.

"What?" Gu Pan asked, "This matter has nothing to do with you, we have to keep it from her."

"But……"

Chen Xi took the microphone and said in a rough voice, "It's alright, alright, you just move the mouse, we'll do the rest."

"But..." Lin Jiqiao still wanted to struggle.

Gu Pan suddenly pointed the phone at his feet, "Look, Lin Lin, what is this?"

"I do not want to see."

"Hey, we were eating and sleeping outside and broke our legs. You are comfortable at home, can you still be friends with us through thick and thin?"

Lin Jiqiao said, "I'm really sorry." Then he maximized the video window, determined to be a person worthy of his friends.

Ten seconds later, Gu Pan got his wish and heard the sound of screaming mixed with the sound of losing the earphones.

"i hate bugs!" (I hate bugs)

Video interrupted.

Very exciting day.Putting the earphone and microphone back in place, Lin Jiqiao lay on the computer desk and didn't want to move.

She knew that Gu Pan and Chen Xi had their reasons for doing this, and the reasons sounded very convincing, but doing shameless little tricks behind the back of the master... always reminded her of the experience of secretly watching action movies.

It was the next morning.

Very early in the morning, she was half asleep and half awake when she heard Xu Anyi say to go out and do something.When she closed the door, Lin Jiqiao suddenly became fully awake.

She nestled on the bed for a while, turned on the computer and quarreled with the supervisor for a while, then turned on the TV when she was really bored, and looked for... um, that kind of website on the Internet.

Unexpectedly many, but most of them are male and female.

Lin Jiqiao made good use of keywords to search, and entered the account password with the TV operation. After more than half an hour of trivial tossing, he finally clicked on a movie with an explosive title.

However, after playing for a few minutes, she suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.

At that time, she only felt that her scalp was exploding, and her first reaction was to pull off the blindfold and get under the quilt, and then she thought of picking up the remote control and pressing it randomly to restore the silence in the room.

It was so quiet that she could clearly hear - slippers brushed the carpet, paper bags rustled, Xu Anyi stood still at the entrance of the bedroom - all the movements.

She still took advantage of this time to adjust her breathing, and continued to listen to Xu Anyi walking gently to the bed, bent down, her hair fell on the bed sheet, and one hand passed over her exposed scalp, and asked in a low voice: "Do you still want to?" Want it?"
