Chapter 27: Crisis Suddenly Appears

  As the saying goes: You can run into anyone anywhere in life.

  At this moment, Zhang Yi deeply understood the meaning of these words, because he never thought that after not going out for several days, coming out to buy a computer would allow him to run into Meng Xian'er.

  Meng Xian'er glanced at Zhang Yi with a hint of a smile, her eyes scanning from the hand that Yao Tian Tian was holding onto to Yao Tian Tian's stunning face. She smiled faintly and said: "Hello, I'm Meng Xian'er, Zhang Yi's... friend."

  Friend?

  Are we friends?

  Zhang Yi's gaze was somewhat complex, because this mysterious girl with an unknown background seemed to be shrouded in mystery, just like a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water, hazy and illusory, making it impossible for him to see through.

  Yao Tiantian gazed at the stunningly beautiful girl in front of her, who seemed like a fairy descending from heaven, and was also momentarily stunned. Beautiful things attract people's attention, regardless of whether they are of the same sex or not.

  However!

  Her reaction was fairly quick. After a moment of stunned expression, her eyes showed a few points of strangeness and a hint of vigilance that even she herself did not notice, saying:

  "Hello, I'm Yao Tiantian, also a friend of Zhang Yi."

  "Is that all? I thought I didn't have a chance anymore, but it seems I was wrong, he doesn't belong to another woman yet!"

  Yao Tian's expression changed slightly, and the vigilant look in her eyes increased by a few degrees:

  "What do you mean?"

  Meng Xian'er's mouth curved slightly, ignoring Yao Tian Tian's words. She leaned forward slightly and shifted her gaze to Zhang Yi, smiling lightly: "Zhang Yi, come out with me for a moment."

  Zhang Yi's eyes showed a puzzled expression. He nodded at Yao Tiantian and followed Meng Xian'er out of the store, unaware that his departure had caused a huge psychological impact on Yao Tiantian.

  It was as if the thing she cared about most in her heart was being snatched away by someone else, and that intense feeling of oppression made her feel unbearable.

  The mood... has changed.

  A vague emotion sprouted in her heart, growing quietly, so weak that she didn't even notice it. But given enough time, this sprout would grow wildly...

  Outside a computer specialty store.

  Zhang Yi looked at Meng Xian'er who was wearing a white dress and had stopped in her tracks. He asked, "Meng Xian'er, you called me out here, what do you want to say?"

  Meng Xian'er turned around, with a hint of unusual color in her eyes. She quietly looked at Zhang Yi's handsome appearance.

  "You..."

  Zhang Yi stretched his mouth. Being stared at by Meng Xian'er like this, he vaguely felt a bit uncomfortable all over.

  *sigh*...

  A faint sigh escaped from Meng Xiang'er's mouth.

  "Zhang Yi, be careful."

  Zhang Yi's heart skipped a beat as he looked at Meng Xian'er's slightly complex expression, and asked: "Meng Xian'er, do you know something?"

  Meng Xian'er turned around, took a step forward and walked towards the distance: "The heavenly machine cannot be revealed. In addition, I'll give you a sentence: Do not force it, do not intentionally try. All things are up to one's heart."

  Zhang Yi watched as Meng Xian'er walked away, her last words echoing in his mind:

  No forcing, no intentionality, all things follow the heart?

  What does this mean?

  Why does she always say some inexplicable things to herself?

  Until the figure of Meng Xiang'er disappeared into the distance at the corner of the street, Zhang Yi turned around and returned to the computer store. Looking at Yao Tian Tian who was standing still, dazed, Zhang Yi gathered all his thoughts and smiled: "Help me pick a computer!"

  Yao Tiantian came to from her daze, subconsciously glancing at the entrance of the computer store before turning to look at Zhang Yi and asking: "That Meng Xiang'er... what did she call you out for?"

  Zhang Yi smiled faintly and said, "Nothing, just some inexplicable words, I didn't even understand them myself."

  "What did you say?"

  Zhang Yi smiled and grabbed her arm, pulling her inside while saying: "Forget it, let's not mention this matter again. What's most important now is helping me pick a computer."

  Yao Tiantian was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhang Yi's response, but still didn't continue the topic. With a hint of unhappiness, she helped Zhang Yi pick out a very well-configured laptop computer.

  "Zhang Yi, I need to install a system on the new computer and there are many things to do, it will take about half an hour, come with me for a walk around the street!"

  Yao Tiantian proposed.

  Since Zhang Yi arrived in Jingnan City, she had met with Zhang Yi once and was then arranged by the bureau to attend a temporary training class set up by the municipal bureau for criminal pursuit special training, only returning to Lougu District last night.

  "Alright!" Zhang Yi hesitated for a moment before nodding his head and saying.

  The bustling streets, people coming and going, lively and extraordinary.

  Zhang Yi was walking arm-in-arm with Yao Tian Tian, strolling through the streets like a couple. Yao Tian Tian's enthusiasm seemed to have been lifted as well, pulling Zhang Yi from one store to another, lingering around each shop. Although they didn't buy much, her excited and carefree demeanor made Zhang Yi secretly smile wryly in his heart.

  Now!

  He finally understood the sentence: liking shopping is a girl's nature.

  In front of the "Super Dad" milk tea shop, Yao Tiantian pulled Zhang Yi to buy her a cup of milk tea and then walked leisurely forward. Less than twenty seconds after the two left, two middle-aged men with ordinary clothes and looks, who were the type that would get lost in the crowd, arrived at the entrance of the milk tea shop.

  "It can be confirmed that he is the target."

  "When will you take action?"

  "It's not suitable now, we can only secretly follow him and make a move when there are fewer people around or at midnight."

  "The moon is dark and the wind is strong at night, it's the perfect time for murder. I like..."

  "This is our first time working together on a mission, I hope we have a pleasant collaboration."

  "Hehe......"

  Jiefang Road Computer Specialty Store.

  When Zhang Yi and Yao Tiantian returned, the notebook computer they had chosen had been installed with a system and all debugging work had been completed.

  Carrying their laptops, they left the store and headed towards Jiangshan Huayuan Villa District.

  Yao Tiantian hadn't seen Yin for a long time, so she missed her very much. She insisted on going with Zhang Yi to visit Yin at his residence and even agreed to transfer Yin's household registration to his name, making Yin his nominal daughter.

  Back to Jiangshan Huayuan Villa District.

  Yao Tiantian was shocked by Zhang Yi's residence, looking at him with an incredulous expression as he swiped his card to enter: "You live here? Where did you get so much money?"

  Zhang Yi recounted how Sun Shao Hua helped him rent the place, then bitterly smiled and said: "Otherwise, do you think I'd be willing to spend money renting this villa?"

  Yao Tiantian said with a smile: "Why can't this good thing happen to me? It's really... or I'll move over and live with you guys?"

  Zhang Yi smiled faintly and said: "Suit yourself! If you're willing, I naturally won't refuse."

  "Think you're so clever, but I'm not moving in! Men and women shouldn't be too close, if I move in, people will definitely misunderstand that we're cohabiting!"

  Zhang Yi gave Yao Tiantian a strange look and smiled, saying: "The bold and spicy Miss Yao Tiantian, who would have thought that you also have times when you're afraid of being misunderstood? How rare!"

  "Are you looking for a fight?"

  Yao Tiantian raised her hand, pretending to make a move.

  "Whatever! You act like I didn't say anything!"

  Zhang Yi surrendered.

  Amidst the laughter, the two arrived at the first floor hall of the villa.

  "Haha... Brother Yi, you're back? Ah, isn't that the policewoman? Brother Yi, you really have skills! You've even brought her home!"

  Lu Xiaodao jumped up from the sofa, with a sly look on his face, and greeted him.

  "Get out of here! A dog's mouth can't produce ivory."

  Zhang Yi scolded with a smile.

  Yao Tiantian's eyebrows furrowed. She glanced at Lu Xiaotao a few times, snorted and said: "You're the sleazy fatso that Zhang Yi was talking about? Lu Xiaotao? I think you should be called Lu Xiaosao... Get out of here, go wherever it's cooler, don't pretend to be my senior."

  Lu Xiaodao's face turned dull, he stared blankly at Yao Tiantian, who pushed him away without any ladylike image, then sat down on the sofa with her legs crossed, constantly scanning the surroundings.

  "Yinyin baby, you little scamp, hurry up and come out, your Sweet Auntie has come to see you!"

  Yao Tiantian seemed to have ignored Lu Xiaotao's expression, and instead, like adding fuel to the fire, she opened her mouth and shouted loudly.

  "Ah...... Sweet Auntie?"

  On the second floor staircase, Yin Yin was dressed up like a little princess, peeking out to see Yao Tian Tian, and suddenly her delicate and lovely face showed a look of surprise, hastily running down from upstairs, and rushing into Yao Tian Tian's arms.

  "Hmm..."

  Yin Yin forcefully gave a big kiss on Yao Tian Tian's beautiful and moving face, then intimately smiled and asked: "Tian Tian Auntie, why did you only come to see me now? I've missed you."

  Yao Tiantian hugged Yin Yin and also kissed her delicate and lovely little face twice, then pinched Yin Yin's little face and laughed: "Auntie Tiantian misses you too! It's just that Auntie was too busy recently and didn't have time to see you. From now on, Auntie Tiantian has nothing to do, I'll come to see you every day."

  Yinyin curiously asked: "Sweet Auntie, can't you catch up with us? We used to live together before!"

  Lu Xiaodao, who was standing beside him, had a strange look in his eyes:

  Have you lived together before?

  His eyes wandered over Zhang Yi and Yao Tiantian, his heart full of admiration!

  "Auntie can't live here! Your uncle is a boy and auntie is a girl, they can't easily live together."

  Yin Yin lowered her head, a sly glint flashing in the bottom of her eyes. When she looked up at Yao Tian Tian with her big, bright eyes, she asked innocently: "If... Auntie Tian Tian marries Uncle, can we be together then? I really want to live with Auntie Tian Tian."

  Marry... marry him?

  Yao Tiantian's heart skipped a beat, and her beautiful face suddenly flushed with a few shades of red.

  "Ah...... Sweet Aunt is blushing, they say that when a girl blushes, it means she likes the boy and will marry him! Looks like Sweet Aunt is going to be Uncle's wife!" Yin Yin said with a giggle.

  "Shut up, you silly girl!"

  Yao Tian Tian blushed and said with embarrassment.

  If someone else had said that, she would have beaten them into a pulp. But the one who spoke was Yin-yin, this naive and innocent little girl, which made her feel both ashamed and helpless at heart.

  Lu Xiaodao's dull eyes wandered over Yin Yin's body, and a loud wail rose up from the bottom of his heart:

  Divine artifact!

  This is a super awesome bubble tea machine!!! (....)
