Chapter 113 The Morning of November 30th

It was already clear to Feng Bujue that someone was in the house when he opened the door on the morning of November 30th.

But he didn't overreact. He calmly changed his shoes, walked into the living room, and flipped on the light.

"Did you forget something?" Looking at Ruoyu sitting on the sofa, Brother Jue asked with a slightly tired voice.

"No." Ruoyu only replied with two words, then prepared to get up and leave.

"Is there nothing else you want to say to me?" As she brushed past him, Feng Bujue asked.

"No." The same answer, in the same cold tone.

"Then, can you listen to me for a couple of sentences?" Brother Jue asked again.

Ruoyu stopped, but she didn't turn around. "Speak."

"Let me confirm something first… your seal shouldn't be undone yet, right?" Feng Bujue said.

"What do you think?" Ruoyu didn't answer, but instead asked a question.

"Heh…" Feng Bujue also didn't answer, but chuckled lightly and continued, "To be honest, I'm already annoyed…"

"Annoyed at what?" Ruoyu asked.

"All of this…" Feng Bujue replied, "I hate trying to negotiate with those devils by begging, and I don't want to listen to the advice of some old geezer…" He paused. "I have to admit that I'm a little confused when it comes to matters of the heart, and this confusion makes me very frustrated. It's also led me to do a lot of things that I would never do according to my personality…" He sighed. "Sigh… in the end, I've done a lot, but I haven't solved any problems. Instead, I've added more trouble, and the most unacceptable part of this is… that you've become unlike you, and I've become unlike me."

"It seems…" Ruoyu murmured, "Our troubles… are quite similar."

At this point, the two were silent for a few seconds.

Then…

"So, I've decided…" Feng Bujue spoke again, "I won't try to undo the seal on you anymore. That kind of thing should be left to you to decide and deal with. If you need my help, just ask. If you don't need it, then forget it."

Hearing these words, a hint of a smile finally appeared on the corner of Ruoyu's mouth, and a sense of relief also flashed in her eyes. "Thank you… you finally understand."

"Ah… sorry to keep you waiting." Feng Bujue replied in a lazy tone.

"Then… let me confirm one more thing." At this moment, Ruoyu turned around and continued, "What is our relationship now?"

"Relationship…" Feng Bujue deliberately dragged out his voice and replied, "Naturally, it's still an abnormal boyfriend-girlfriend relationship in the general sense."

"So, you mean… I'm just as 'abnormal' as you?" Ruoyu asked again.

"That's right." Brother Jue replied matter-of-factly.

"Hoo…" Ruoyu actually breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. "I'm relieved to hear you say that."

After saying that, she took out her phone, quickly operated it, and held it out to Brother Jue.

Feng Bujue didn't say anything, took the phone directly, and looked at it.

At this time, a graphic message was displayed on the screen. The sending number was a very strange string of numbers, and the content of the message was as follows—

[Hehehe… Miss Li, hello. You must have guessed my identity when you saw the first three words of this message. Therefore, I will skip the self-introduction and get straight to the point—Tonight, Feng Bujue will go to a certain place to participate in a special banquet. The content of the banquet is roughly a group of desperate people using the rest of their lives to gamble for large sums of money. It’s not a big deal; anyway, I have reached a consensus with him. If he can win the game at the banquet tonight and retrieve something I need, then I will undo your seal. Therefore, I’m sending you a message now to say hello… In case you suddenly experience intense emotional fluctuations in the next few hours for no reason, that should be a sign that the seal is disappearing. Of course, it is also possible that nothing will happen, because I cannot guarantee that Feng Bujue can win the game, or even guarantee that he will come back alive… But in any case, I think it’s better to let you know about the situation… hehehe…]

For some reason, Woody added "a pair of glasses" as a picture to this message, which was full of tsukkomi.

"Ah… does this guy have to 'hehehe' even in text messages…" Feng Bujue finished scanning the message with his speed-reading ability. While muttering, he returned the phone to Ruoyu.

"You don't seem too surprised by this message." Ruoyu felt that Brother Jue's expression was a little too calm when she took back her phone.

"That's a must…" Feng Bujue replied, "When I saw you sitting in the living room with a killer's face waiting for me, I had already guessed that… Woody had sold me out again." He spread his hands. "Last night's itinerary was not even revealed to Xiao Tan, only Woody could spread the news… Heh… It wouldn't surprise me if a guy like that, who oozes malice from his pores, would pull something like this."

"Then…" Ruoyu said again, "Since the purpose of your trip is to trade with him, it means that you were still thinking about breaking the seal when you went to the appointment, but… why did you change your attitude after seeing me? Could it be because you failed in that game, causing Woody not to undo the seal, so you simply gave up?"

"Of course not." Feng Bujue replied, "I changed my mind the moment I saw you… or rather… I 'figured it out'."

He paused for two seconds, very rarely… revealing a gentle smile: "I can imagine… you must have been very worried while sitting here waiting for me. But when you saw me, you could only put on that kind of expression… because you didn't know what expression to use to face me, and you didn't know what to say to me. All you could do was silently leave after confirming my safety…" He pursed his lips. "These… you don't need to say them, I can understand them, I can feel them… so, in that instant, my only thought was… I don't want to see you show that kind of embarrassed expression again."

Feng Bujue's tone when he said these words was very ordinary, without revealing any "emotional" expression. It even gave people a casual feeling, but… this is precisely what shows that his mood when he said it was sincere.

Indeed, he is quite a "skilled actor." When necessary, he can act very convincingly.

But… this state is the real Feng Bujue.

And on the other side…

Ruoyu was stunned after hearing these words…

She was a little at a loss.

After a moment, she turned away, turned her back to Brother Jue, and replied with an inexplicably irritated voice, "Tch… people these days… just start saying nonsense at the drop of a hat… I'm going back!"
