Chapter 423: I Can Recognize Him No Matter What He Looks Like
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huo Xunzhou did not know why Number 1357 asked that question, but he answered, “Of course.”
“That’s good.” Number 1357 picked up the menu and called the waiter over to order the expensive dishes.
Lin Shanchu held back her laughter and was brought to another table by Huo Xunzhou.
Number 1357 really brought out the characteristics of solo stan to the fullest. He was afraid that Huo Xunzhou would spend her money again.
Number 1357 was a good system who kept his promise. During the entire dinner, he did not come over to disturb Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou. Instead, he called the waiter over from time to time.
After the meal, Lin Shanchu went to the washroom while Number 1357 followed the waiter who brought the bill to Huo Xunzhou.
After the waiter left with the card, Huo Xunzhou saw Number 1357.
Number 1357 sized him up with a puzzled expression.
Huo Xunzhou took the initiative and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Aren’t you in pain?” Number 1357 asked after staring at him for a while.
Huo Xunzhou’s eyes froze slightly before he asked calmly, “What are you talking about?”
Number 1357 sat down beside him and replied, “You know what I’m talking about.”
Huo Xunzhou’s expression darkened slightly as he scrutinized Number 1357 with a sharp gaze.
Number 1357 spoke slowly. “Number 2580 has a habit of inflicting painful punishments on those who don’t follow the plot, and there hasn’t been any new tricks.”
“What’s Number 2580?”
“The useless system that Shanshan was bound to.”
“I see.”
Number 1357 kept sizing Huo Xunzhou up as if he was trying to confirm something.
He stared at Huo Xunzhou for a long time and finally came to a conclusion. “You’ve been enduring it?”
Huo Xunzhou said casually, “It’s not that unbearable.”
“I can influence Number 2580’s magnetic field,” Number 1357 mechanically said to Huo Xunzhou. “However, its influence cannot be underestimated. The magnitude of the pain it inflicts on you increases with the number of times. It won’t be reduced much because of my influence.”
Huo Xunzhou did not refute him. Instead, he asked, “So?”
“You’re nice to Shanshan and haven’t let her know about it,” said Number 1357 with a serious face.
After two seconds of silence, Huo Xunzhou asked slowly, “What does it have to do with you?”
Number 1357 was speechless.
From Huo Xunzhou’s point of view, it really seem like it had nothing to do with him.
“Let’s go.” Lin Shanchu’s voice came from behind them.
Huo Xunzhou immediately turned around to observe Lin Shanchu’s expression.
Lin Shanchu’s expression was natural, as if she had not heard their conversation.
Huo Xunzhou calmly took her hand and walked out.
On the way back, Huo Xunzhou did not look at Number 1357 as often as he did earlier. Number 1357 seemed to have completely forgotten about Huo Xunzhou and was focused on driving.
The two of them seemed to have reached a consensus and deliberately ignored each other.
Huo Xunzhou gave Li Mo a call on the way to see Lin Shanchu off. When Huo Xunzhou reached Lin Shanchu’s house, Li Mo already parked his car downstairs and was waiting to pick him up.
A puzzled expression flashed across Li Mo’s face as he saw Number 1357 get out of the car.
He did not even follow Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu on their date, but why did her uncle go with them?
What kind of operation was this?
Number 1357 stood outside the car. When he saw Li Mo, he nodded slightly at him. Li Mo also nodded slightly to greet him in return.
Huo Xunzhou was talking to Lin Shanchu in the car. freew ebnovel.com
Shortly afterwards, the two of them got out of the car.
After Lin Shanchu and Number 1357 entered the neighborhood, Huo Xunzhou turned around and got into the car.
After Huo Xunzhou got into the car, he leaned against the seat and looked exhausted.
Li Mo looked at him through the rearview mirror and asked, “Big Brother, are you that tired from dating Sister-in-law?”
Huo Xunzhou did not even open his eyes and his voice sounded weak. “Drive.”
“Oh.” After three seconds of silence, Li Mo asked, “Why did Mr. Lin follow you two on a date?”
Huo Xunzhou opened his eyes and looked expressionlessly at him through the rearview mirror. “You can come with us next time if you want to.”
Li Mo shook his head hurriedly and replied, “I won’t go.”
…
In the elevator, Lin Shanchu crossed her arms, stared at the elevator wall and suddenly asked, “What did you say to Huo Xunzhou?”
Surprised, Number 1357 turned to look at Lin Shanchu and replied, “You heard everything?”
Lin Shanchu angrily looked at him and asked, “If I heard everything, would I still ask you?”
Sometimes, she thought that Number 1357 was smart, but sometimes, she thought that he was a little stupid.
After a moment of silence, Number 1357 said, “I’m not going to tell you.”
“You’re not going to tell me?” Lin Shanchu thought she had misheard him.
She was a little surprised. Number 1357 usually looked like he was willing to risk his life for her. Why didn’t he even answer her a simple question at this time?
Was he pretending to be willing to risk his life for her?
Number 1357 lowered his head guiltily and said, “This is a secret between men. I have to keep my promise.”
Lin Shanchu asked, “Men? Your system has a gender distinction?”
Number 1357 was stumped by this question.
“I… I’m a man now.”
“…”
Ding!
The elevator door opened at this moment.
Lin Shanchu snorted and strode out.
Number 1357 followed closely behind her, as if he was afraid that she would leave him behind.
Lin Shanchu walked to the door and leaned on the side, gesturing for Number 1357 to open the door with the key.
When Number 1357 opened the door, Lin Shanchu stood at the side and asked him, “Is there any news about Lu Shiyuan?”
Number 1357 paused in his action of opening the door and glanced at the opposite door before he replied, “Yes.”
The house that Lin Suguang had found for Lin Shanchu was a large apartment with two units on one floor. The doors were facing each other. Lin Shanchu followed his gaze and saw that the door of the opposite house was tightly shut.
“Sister Lin, you’re back.” He Xiang opened the door from the inside.
“Yeah,” Lin Shanchu responded and took the lead to walked in.
Number 1357 followed behind and closed the door.
Then, Lin Shanchu leaned against the door and peeked through the peephole at the house opposite.
The door on the other side was still closed, and no one came out.
He Xiang leaned over and asked curiously, “Sister Lin, what are you looking at?”
Lin Shanchu glanced at Number 1357 and replied, “Ask him.”
“Uncle, what’s going on?” He Xiang also looked through the peephole, but she did not see anything.
Number 1357 did not say a word and walked in silently.
Lin Shanchu and He Xiang looked at each other and followed him.
After sitting down on the sofa, Number 1357 said, “When I went out to take out the trash last night, I saw someone who looked like Lu Shiyuan coming out of the house.”
“Really?” He Xiang was shocked.
“I can recognize him no matter what he looks like.” Number 1357 said firmly, “Although it’s just his back view, I think it’s Lu Shiyuan himself.”
Lin Shanchu was leaning against the corner of the sofa with one hand supporting her head as she stared silently at Number 1357.
He made up this reason just for He Xiang.
Number 1357 must have sensed Number 2580, so he was sure that Lu Shiyuan lived opposite.
However, Lu Shiyuan really knew how to choose a hideout. No wonder Huo Xunzhou could not find him.
He was just right under their nose.
After a while, Lin Shanchu sidetracked He Xiang. “He Xiang, get me a glass of warm milk.”
