The night!
The night view of Kyoto City was beautiful, with all sorts of neon lights and long dragon-like headlights giving the city a prosperous and dazzling feel.
On the rooftop of the hotel, Ye Cangtian was smoking a cigarette while looking at the night view below.
Tang Xinwan was not here; this girl was as busy with work as ever, currently in the room processing matters for Haitan Pharmaceuticals with her computer!
A gust of wind swept past behind him, and a figure quietly descended.
Without turning his head, Ye Cangtian said, "Xibeya has already left. When are you going back? Those guys from the Viper need someone to lead them, otherwise, who knows what kind of chaos might ensue!" Sudan Novel Network
Qiangwei pouted, and after a while, said, "Are you trying to get rid of me?"
Hearing the girl's resentful voice, Ye Cangtian's head began to ache. He turned around helplessly, "I'm not trying to get rid of you. Actually, I want you to do something for me after you return to the Grim Reaper Squad!"
"What is it?" Qiangwei looked at him.
"You've met the people from the Dark Association before. I heard they are brewing a conspiracy abroad recently, so I need you to help me investigate some clues."
Shangguan Yun had told him that the Dark Association was preparing to select suitable personnel to go abroad, suspected of plotting another conspiracy.
Although these guys were not causing trouble in China, Ye Cangtian felt it wouldn't be that simple.
Don't look at him having infiltrated the Dark Association and being a Yellow level member now, but he still didn't understand the organization well.
Let alone a mere Yellow level member like him, even the Black level behind Shangguan Yun probably didn't know much about the Dark Association's deployments.
Qiangwei fell silent for a long time, then suddenly looked up and asked, "Then when will you come back?"
She was referring to when Ye Cangtian would return to the Grim Reaper Mercenary Squad.
Ye Cangtian chuckled bitterly. He really hadn't thought about this question.
To be honest, now accustomed to the peaceful and leisurely life in the city, he really didn't want to return to those days of gunfire, even though those days were exciting.
However, he did miss his old brothers.
Thinking of this, he said, "I'm not sure when I'll return yet, but the Grim Reaper Mercenary Squad must have someone to lead them. These guys are all troublesome. Besides me, only you can keep them in check."
Qiangwei stopped talking, looking down at her toes, thinking about something.
After an unknown amount of time, she said calmly, "I promise you. I'll go back and lead them to investigate the Dark Association for you!"
Ye Cangtian breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that this girl would just stay by his side and not leave.
Not to mention that the Grim Reaper Mercenary Squad needed a leader, if Qiangwei didn't go back, who knew what trouble these lawless guys would stir up.
Moreover, if this girl was lurking around him all day, it would be difficult for his relationship with Tang Xinwan to progress.
This trip to Kyoto was the best opportunity for a man and a woman alone to develop their feelings, but someone was staring at you in the dark late at night, would you still be in the mood?
His relationship with Tang Xinwan had improved a lot recently. If it weren't for Tang Xinwan being too busy with work these days, Ye Cangtian was confident he could have made a move.
He wouldn't dare to say a home run, but at least holding her hand and kissing her lips should not be a big problem, right?
...
When he returned to the hotel room, Tang Xinwan had finished her work and was coming out of the bathroom after showering.
"Where did you go?" she asked, drying her hair.
"I went to the rooftop to get some air. Are you done?" Ye Cangtian smiled and glanced at her soft body.
Tang Xinwan, who had just finished bathing, was wearing only a nightgown. Although it was still a conservative set, the thin fabric still displayed her well-proportioned figure to its fullest.
Coupled with her wet hair and her flushed cheeks from the steam, she looked charming.
"Yes!"
Tang Xinwan nodded. Seeing the guy staring at her without blinking, her pretty face turned even redder.
She lightly parted her teeth, furrowed her beautiful jade nose, and chided, "You lewd scoundrel, haven't you had enough of looking at me every day!"
Ye Cangtian smiled brilliantly, "I'll never get tired of looking at you my whole life!"
"You're not allowed to look!" Tang Xinwan snorted lightly, then turned to walk into the bedroom and was about to close the door.
"Ahem, that, can I sleep inside tonight?"
Ye Cangtian shrugged helplessly, "I've been sleeping on the sofa for so many days, my lumbar disc is almost herniated!"
Tang Xinwan glared at him warily, frowning, "Are you trying to take advantage of me?"
Ye Cangtian said sheepishly, "How could I! Let's stick to the old rules, you sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the floor!"
What old rules! As if we sleep like this often!
Tang Xinwan pouted with a red face. She thought carefully and felt that she had wronged the guy these past few days. Sleeping on the floor every day was indeed very uncomfortable.
"Then... you're really just sleeping on the floor? You won't take advantage of me in the middle of the night?"
"No, I'm such an honest person, don't you trust me?" Ye Cangtian patted his chest and guaranteed.
Heh! You're the last person I trust!
Tang Xinwan scorned inwardly, but she still nodded and said, "Make your own bedding. Remember to add an extra layer of quilt, it's easy to catch a cold after autumn starts."
It was already autumn. Although it was still very hot under the sun during the day, it was relatively cool at night, and it was easy to catch a cold sleeping on the floor!
Ye Cangtian's face was full of smiles. See, this is a good start!
However, at this moment, there was movement from the direction of the balcony.
Then, Qiangwei, dressed in combat gear, walked into the living room. She glanced at Ye Cangtian and Tang Xinwan, then looked at Ye Cangtian and said, "I have one more thing to tell you!"
This girl hasn't left yet?
Ye Cangtian was helpless. Can't she say it tomorrow?
He looked at Tang Xinwan, who frowned slightly, then turned and went back into the bedroom expressionlessly.
When she reached the balcony, she saw Qiangwei taking out a wooden box from behind.
"This is what Teacher wanted to give you!"
"You've seen the old man?"
Ye Cangtian was stunned. Hadn't the old man been missing for two to three years? He had asked Qiangwei a few days ago, and she had said there was no news of the old man.
Qiangwei shook her head and explained, "Teacher looked for me before he disappeared and said that if you went to China in the future, I should give this to you."
So, the old man knew he was coming to China years ago.
No, when he was in Axe Prison, he received a letter from the old man telling him to come to China to fulfill his engagement.
So, all this was arranged by the old man, and it was arranged in advance.
Qiangwei glanced in the direction of the bedroom, her eyes complicated. She turned and said, "I'm leaving. You... you come back soon, otherwise, I will still come to China to find you!"
After speaking, she directly climbed over the balcony and disappeared into the night.
Why does this girl's words sound so resentful?
Ye Cangtian helplessly hugged the wooden box and returned to the living room, then tiptoed to the bedroom door, his face resuming its brilliant smile.
"Benefactor, this monk has returned!"
However, the doorknob wouldn't turn, and it was already locked from the inside.
"Benefactor! Benefactor, please open the door!"
"You don't need to come in, just sleep outside!" Tang Xinwan's cold voice came from inside.
Ye Cangtian was instantly dumbfounded. They had discussed it so well, why did she suddenly change her mind?
