"Ah!" Shen Xi exclaimed, closing her eyes. When she opened them again, she saw Qin Si Ye's handsome and charming face only a few centimeters away from hers.
And that darn man was still staring at her with burning eyes, even reaching out a hand as if to touch her face.
Good heavens! He... what did he want to do?
In her haste, Shen Xi's mind went blank, only thinking of four words: resist, run.
She suddenly bent her knees, coincidentally hitting the man's "soft spot" above.
Qin Si Ye grunted and quickly straightened up.
Shen Xi stood up from the sofa, grabbed her bag, endured the pain in her leg, and ran out without looking back.
The moment the door closed, Qin Si Ye sat up straight with a pained expression, his gaze chillingly fixed on the direction she had gone.
This woman was too hateful, having injured him twice.
He had merely felt a flicker of curiosity about her face just now. Did she think he was going to do something to her? Why was she so agitated?
Slowly taking out his phone, Qin Si Ye called Gu Lin.
"Si Ye, what's up?"
Qin Si Ye, suppressing the pain, slowly said, "Have you noticed a problem? The skin on Shen Xi's face is always one color."
Gu Lin was completely baffled by his words, "What do you mean? I'm not familiar with her, so why would I observe her face so closely?"
"Aren't you colleagues? You should have many opportunities to meet. As a doctor, haven't you noticed anything unusual about her?" Qin Si Ye frowned.
"We're not in the same department. I've met her no more than five times. I haven't noticed anything unusual," Gu Lin asked curiously, "Did you find something?"
Qin Si Ye paused and said thoughtfully, "Her face. Think about her face. Besides her two bright, naturally moving eyes, the rest of her face seems very stiff. No matter what happens, it's always the same color."
For instance, today and last night in the car, their actions were both ambiguous. As an unmarried girl, shouldn't she blush?
But all he saw on her face was panic, yet her complexion remained unchanged.
"Si Ye, what's going on between you and Shen Xi now? Why are you observing her so closely? Did you two do something in private?"
Gu Lin didn't follow Qin Si Ye's concern but was more interested in their relationship.
"Stop talking nonsense. I'm discussing serious matters with you," Qin Si Ye said, annoyed, and pulled him back, "Is there any possibility that she's wearing something on her face?"
Gu Lin's heart skipped a beat at his reminder, "Are you talking about a human skin mask?"
"What is a human skin mask?" Qin Si Ye's eyes lit up.
"A human skin mask is made using a material very close to human skin to create another face. You wear it on your own face, and you can become another person, making it indistinguishable from the real thing," Gu Lin said.
Qin Si Ye was surprised, "Oh? There's such a thing."
"However, domestic technology is not advanced enough, and coupled with government restrictions, such human skin masks have not been well developed or sold. But it's hard to say about foreign countries."
As Gu Lin spoke, a gleam gradually appeared in his eyes, as if he had just remembered something. He continued,
"Si Ye, after you reminded me, I suddenly remembered the scene on Shen Xi's first day at work when I treated her and Si Yue to lunch.
She always kept her head down when she ate and ate very slowly. She wouldn't touch the food until it had cooled in front of her. She never ate anything too hot.
Analyzing it now, she really might have a problem."
Upon hearing this, Qin Si Ye also recalled Shen Xi's appearance while eating. It was indeed as Gu Lin described.
