World 9 Chapter 126

Chapter 126.

The collision of beer cans, one sip after another.

Ye Zheng sat cross-legged on the carpet casually, with her back leaning on the sofa. She looked at Tangli with a blushing face and blurred eyes. The other party's eyes did not dodge or flinch, and she looked at Ye Zheng calmly. Those tender eyes seemed to possess wonderful magic, silently teasing Ye Zheng's turbulent heart.

Ye Zheng put her finger on her forehead and said, "Tangli, you know, I have never drank with friends like I did today. I usually digest any troubles I encounter by myself."

Tangli took a sip of her wine. Her fingers were long and slender, with clear joints and cold white skin. Because she was holding a beer can, her knuckles were obvious. Ye Zheng's eyes fell from her face to Tangli's palm, where she wore the a plain ring, as she rubbed the ring with her thumb, for some reason, it highlighted a bit of forbidden allure.

Ye Zheng couldn't take her eyes away. She didn't know what was so attractive about these hands, but she was fascinated by them. Maybe it had something to do with her posture. She was lazy and noble. Even when she was holding one leg, she looked more chic.

Tang Li raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Then if you have troubles in the future, you only need to make a phone call, and I will come and drink with you to relieve your worries."

She laughed, "How can I have so many worries?"

"I have eaten and drank wine. There is one thing that has been bothering me for a long time."

Ye Zheng listened to her words and understood what Tang Li wanted to ask.

Ye Zheng squeezed the beer can and asked, pretending not to know, "What?"

Tangli's smile remained unchanged and she said, "Who told you that you look similar to others?"

"Well, I met an old customer at work. She always stared at me when she came here. Then I couldn't help but asked. She said that my face looked very similar to that of an old friend she knew. That's it. Yeah." Ye Zheng avoided the important and ignored the easy. She would not tell anyone about the favorability system, not only because she was worried about being regarded as a lunatic, but also to ensure her own safety.

Tangli nodded clearly. Sure enough, just as she thought, Ye Zheng deliberately concealed the truth.

She added, "Then why did you ask me? Ask me if you two look alike."

Ye Zheng was tipsy, glanced sideways at Tang Li and explained, "She said she knew you, and said you also knew the woman who looks very similar to me."

Tangli chuckled, "Even now I don't know who you look like, let alone know her."

It has to be said that Tang Li's performance pleased Ye Zheng's heart. She raised her lips in joy and asked, "You really don't think I look like her?"

"Ye Zi, you have to tell me what that person's name is, right? I have a good memory, I can remember the name when you mention it." Tang Li cleverly used her own performance to dispel Ye Zheng's suspicion, and in the process of making people happy, In terms of performance, it is difficult for Tangli to find an opponent.

Her intimacy was reflected in her title, which once again brought the two of them closer. Moreover, her smile was so heart-warming that the drunk Ye Zheng couldn't resist, so she said, "Fang Mousi, that person's name is Fang Mousi. Do you know her?"

Tangli thought hard, and after pondering for a moment, she said, "You are talking about her."

As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Li added, "I do know her, but I can't find any trace of her in you, so how can we say they are similar?"

She raised her head and drank the last sip of beer and threw it into the trash can. She turned to Ye Zheng with a sly look and said, "Come to me and I will talk to you in detail."

Ye Zheng hesitated for a while and then put down the beer can in her hand. She stood up and sat next to Tang Li, holding her legs with her hands, as if this would give her a sense of security.

She said, "Can you really not find her shadow in me?"

Tangli chuckled and sighed, turning to face her. Tangli's hands rested on Ye Zheng's shoulders, and she said word by word, "Really, I won't lie to you."

Ye Zheng smiled happily, and just as the corners of her lips raised, she found Tang Li's palm holding her face. The temperature of the person's fingers was particularly clear. Ye Zheng blinked nervously and asked weakly, " What are you doing."

"Are you curious about my relationship with her?"

Ye Zheng's heart was squeezed hard because of this, and she said duplicitously, "You can say what you want to say, and it's okay if you don't want to say. I respect your choice. We are friends. How can we do something that is difficult for others."

Tang Li smiled meaningfully, touched Ye Zheng's cheek with her fingertips, and said, "You are such a considerate little Ye Zi."

Ye Zheng frowned and complained, "Why do I feel that you are trying to blame me?"

"Well, not bad, you are not a stupid kid."

Ye Zheng laughed and scolded,"You are stupid."

Tangli snorted as if she was annoyed and explained, "Who told you to show that you don't care about me? That person said in front of you that I know Fang Mousi. If she is kind, that's fine, but I always feel that that person doesn't have good intentions, maybe he is just trying to sow discord. I thought you would categorically say that you were curious about our affairs, but I didn't know that it was just wishful thinking on my part."

[She scolded me? She actually scolded me! Call me evil! I bother! ]

[Ye Zheng, if you have the ability to accept the mission for me, if you don't accept it, you're not a human being! ]

[Let me tell you, I am not offline yet! I'm staring at you two all the time! ]

The favorability system buzzed, causing Ye Zheng to lose her tranquility. The more it collapsed, the happier Ye Zheng was, and Ye Zheng would not be angry because of its irritability.

Ye Zheng ignored the words of the favorability system. She mustered up the courage to test Tang Li, "What if it were you? Would you be curious about my relationship with others?"

Tangli's expression suddenly changed and she bit her back teeth. She held a grudge very much. She still remembers the Kai Xiaozao incident mentioned by Jin Yan. She said, "Of course, I will be very curious because I don't like you to have other suitors around."

"You make it sound like I am a heartthrob and a person who plays with emotions."

Ye Zheng protested against Tangli dissatisfied.

"No, that's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean."

Tang Li explained, "Judging from your explanation to me and your performance, I can confirm that that person definitely talked about Fang Musi and me in a very ambiguous way, as if I regarded you as Fang Musi's substitute. This is very important to you. Neither I nor she are fair. It has nothing to do with you not being curious about me and Fang Mousi. It means that I haven't done a good enough job to make you care about me. But I care about you, so I say that I am curious and I also care about other suitors appearing around you."

[Ye Zheng, you must open the halo of favorability for me! You can't refuse the points delivered to your door! ]

It wailed, its heart was cut like a knife, and it witnessed the points passing by it with its own eyes. This kind of pain made it feel suffocated by something that was not human, and it was very likely that it would die in the next second.

But this kind of pain is caused by itself. Who told the program to require points to open the halo? In the past, Ye Zheng felt pain in her flesh every time she turned it on, but now the situation has changed and it is his turn to suffer.

Ye Zheng just doesn't turn on the favorability halo, firstly because she doesn't want to make the favorability system proud; secondly because she can't distract herself from Tangli's words now.

Her heart was beating fast, anticipating what might happen next, and fearing how she might get Tangli's confession.

She is contradicting herself and it is her inferiority complex that is at work.

Ye Zheng frowned in discomfort and said pitifully, "My head is a little dizzy, can I rest on your shoulder?"

She interrupted Tang Li and took control of the situation. She was used to being alone. Ye Zheng, who had no love experience, could not think of the most perfect solution to deal with the mess in her heart, so she could only cowardly escape again.

Ask yourself, is this kind of herself really worth letting Tang Li care about?

Tangli smiled helplessly, and this time she chose to hug Ye Zheng directly with her hands.

Her retreat was rewarded by Tangli's strength.

Her arms were wrapped around her waist. The thin clothes could not withstand the softness of her body. The two hugged each other, and Ye Zheng blushed for no reason.

Tangli stroked her hair and said, "Tell me what you want to hear. Fang Musi was my high school classmate. When we were in the second year of high school, we sat in front and in the back. She was a good student in the eyes of her teachers and the school beauty in the hearts of her classmates. She was a popular figure in high school at the time, with excellent grades and a wealthy background. She also had a boyfriend who was a school idol, and later the two of them got engaged."

[Ah ah ah, don't say that! Why does this Tangli always ruin my good deeds! ]

[Ye Zheng, don't listen to what she says, it's all lies. Only listen to me is the truth. Don't you want the manuscript and clues about your biological parents? Come to me, you can get these. There are interests and transactions between us. This is the most stable bridge. I can lie to anyone but I can't lie to you. But Tangli is different. If she likes you now, she can like someone else tomorrow. ]

[To tell you the truth, the Fang family is a wealthy family, and you are just a chef. If you don't have the manuscript as a source of confidence, do you think your parents will recognize you as their own? Even if they recognize you, who will notice you with the pearl like your sister in front? ]

[Only me, only I can help you feel proud. With favorability points, any item in the mall can become your own confidence. In this way, you will not be covered by Fang Mousi's light, and you will also be a pearl. ]

Ye Zheng grabbed Tang Li's clothes and whispered, "She is outstanding."

Being outstanding makes me look down on myself even more.

Compared with her, I really have nothing to offer, the only thing I am good at is cooking.

Tang Li comforted her softly, "She is very good, but we are not bad either. We have different personalities and different lives. This is what people are. If everything becomes exactly the same, it is a replica."

Ye Zheng leaned on Tang Li's shoulder, absorbing Tang Li's body temperature. She looked very obedient, and was just held in Tang Li's arms. She didn't say a word, and her breathing was rapid, which made Tang Li sense her emotions, Tang Li patted Ye Zheng on the back and asked, "Do you still want to continue listening?"

"Listen."

"The story is not long. We lost contact after college. Until I heard from a friend and learned that Fang Mousi passed away due to an accident. Her parents and fiancé were devastated and could not accept this reality. It seemed that they had been seeing a psychiatrist."

Ye Zheng's eyes were red, and she silently hugged Tang Li's waist. The long talk about with favorabity system made her mentally exhausted. Although Fang Musi's story was short, Ye Zheng had mixed feelings and finally wet her eyes. She didn't know why, for some reason, she could only regard her tears as regret for the other party, Mou Si.

"Tangli."

"Um?"

"Sorry."

Tangli smiled sweetly, "Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"

"The tears have wet your clothes." Ye Zheng said pitifully, which made Tangli feel soft and comforted, "It's okay."

Ye Zheng leaned on her shoulder. When she was crying and sad, having someone to accompany her was like a weed that had been ravaged by the wind and rain and found a big tree to shelter it. From now on, it no longer had to be afraid of the wind and rain.

Ye Zheng nuzzled into her and said, "It's great to have you here."

"Little crybaby, stop crying, it's so distressing."

She narrowed her eyes, showing off her squeamishness, and hummed, "Those who can't help but shed are called tears. If they can't help it, they're not crying, they're acting."

"Okay, okay, I will listen to you."

"Then you are not allowed to call me little crybaby."

Tang Li asked back, "Then what shiuld I call you?"

If possible, I really want to say: Hi, wife.

​

But not currently.

"You need to use your brain to think about this."

"Tsk, I'd better call you a crybaby then."

Ye Zheng hit her and said angrily, "If you don't behave properly, I won't let you stay overnight today. I'll find a driver to take you home."

Tangli is smiling happily. Can she live here? What an unexpected surprise! It feels like she is not far away from calling my wife!

"Ancestor, master, sister?"

Ye Zheng pushed her away shyly, stood up and sat on the sofa, "What a mess!"

Tang Li couldn't help but smile, and finally burst out laughing. She lay on the sofa, looked up at Ye Zheng, and said, "Baby?"

Without saying a word, Ye Zheng reached out and covered her lips, "I have decided, you should call me by my name from now on."

The nicknames this sister comes up with are more terrifying than the last! The names are the most normal. After all, the last "baby" is suitable for both of them. No, it's not suitable!

It's all her fault for leading me astray.

[Come on, kill me, show your affection, right? Not doing the task, right? ]

[Ye Zheng, you are so cruel. ]

She thought about the task given by the favorabity system before. Looking at Tang Li's teasing expression, Ye Zheng hesitated and accepted the task. The points were doubled. In order to cancel the favorability system, she had to accept the task.

Ye Zheng bent down and whispered softly, "Were you teasing me just now? Then I hate you."

[... although I have 2,500 points in my account, but posting tasks is to earn points, not to act coquettishly at Tangli! ]

Ye Zheng blinked blankly, acting coquettishly? How could it be! Is there something wrong with the favorability system?

Tangli held her chin and said with a smile, "The scolding is really nice, otherwise, you will scold me again?"

"..."

[My Tangtang, you are really perverted. ]

Tangli listened to 001's complaints and laughed so hard.

"Let's sleep on the sofa tonight."

*

In the dimly lit office, only one blind was pulled up, which made the office look particularly depressing, making it difficult to have a bright and good mood.

Zhou Shiyu clicked on the information on the table. His brows were wrinkled all year round, leaving a mark that added a bit of hard-to-get meanness. Zhou Shiyu said coldly, "This is the last chance. If you haven't found the person I want, just get out of here, do you hear me clearly?"

He is like a king who likes to kill and has a violent personality. He never gives people a chance to explain. He only wants the results. If he is satisfied, he will spare your life. If you fails to meet Zhou Shiyu's request, it will be a dead end.

Fortunately, this is modern times, not ancient times. Otherwise, Zhou Shiyu would have become a foolish king.

He flipped through the information, searching, paranoid for that amazing glimpse.

A few days ago, Zhou Shiyu was sitting in a car and lowered the window to get some air. The half-lowered window just blocked Ye Zheng's entire face, revealing only the eyebrows that made Zhou Shiyu crazy. So with just a glance, Zhou Shiyu at that time quickly lowered the car window to see Ye Zheng. Afterwards, he felt that he was extremely stupid. How could a random passerby be worthy of his true love?

But his memory always made Zhou Shiyu recall what happened that day from time to time. From being dismissive at the beginning to now stubbornly determined to find the woman, he became more and more abnormal and completely lost his rationality.

As Zhou Shiyu flipped through impatiently, he suddenly saw a woman. With trembling hands, he covered the lower half of Ye Zheng's face in the photo. When the picturesque eyebrows appeared in Zhou Shiyu's sight, he covered his mouth. His eyes turned red in surprise.

"Is it you, Sisi."

"It's definitely you, I will find you."

"Wait for me."

Zhou Shiyu piously pressed Ye Zheng's information to his chest, with a look of joy in his eyes. He had never been able to look like this before. With this woman, he could survive.

That's great.

He quickly adjusted his mood, wiped away his tears, stood up, "You did a good job, these three million are yours."

Zhou Shiyu threw down a check and walked past the man.

The man used technological means to enter the surveillance cameras of that day, printed out the information of these people during the portrait search, and sent it to Zhou Shiyu's office.

He was breaking the law, so after a lot of struggle when doing this, he finally agreed to Zhou Shiyu and was willing to help him do this.

Zhou Shiyu is too lazy to care about a man's self-condemnation. He has finished his money and goods, and he only cares about Ye Zheng at the moment.

He drove all the way to the gate of Ye Zheng's community. The appearance of the luxury car was attractive. The strange vehicle made the residents of the community curious and puzzled, wondering who he was looking for.

Zhou Shiyu smoked a few cigarettes in the car. After thinking about it, he dialed Ye Zheng's cell phone first. The beeping sound made him anxious. He punched the speaker hard and cursed a few times.

The sudden sound of the trumpet startled people, and the elderly man shook his head helplessly and closed the window.

"Hello, hello, who are you?"

The woman's voice was soft and sweet. At this moment, Zhou Shiyu even had the illusion that he heard Fang Musi's voice. It turned out that not only the facial features and eyes were similar, but also the voice.

Zhou Shiyu said cautiously, "Hello, I am Zhou Shiyu."

When Ye Zheng heard this person's name, she didn't recognize him at all, so she said perfunctorily, "You called the wrong number." After that, she hung up the call.

Zhou Shiyu breathed rapidly, his eyes were scarlet, "How dare you hang up on me?"

He wanted to fight again, but he was afraid that Ye Zheng wouldn't answer.

He took a deep breath of cigarette, threw his cell phone aside, and looked at Ye Zheng's floor with a gloomy look.

His call was quickly forgotten by Ye Zheng. She was about to get a drink, but Tangli, who had just washed the dishes, wiped her hands and walked out of the kitchen and said, "Want a drink? I'll get it for you."

Ye Zheng lay on the sofa, "Let me wash the dishes next time."

Tangli handed her a drink and rubbed her hair, "After eating so much delicious food, washing dishes is nothing."

Ye Zheng secretly looked at her fingers and whispered, "Aren't you afraid that your hands will become unsightly?"

"What?" Tangli asked with a joking expression, knowing full well.

"Fine!"

"Didn't you say you had something to tell me?"

After Tangli met Ye Zheng today, she acted mysteriously. Ye Zheng pressed her, but she didn't explain. She just said she would know after dinner.

Now that the meal is over, it's time to reveal the secret.

Tangli pinched Ye Zheng's chin with her hand and asked, "Want to know?"

Ye Zheng held her wrist, raised her face obediently, "Yeah, I really want to know."

[Turn on the halo! You should open it for me! ]

[Ye Zheng, sooner or later one of us will go crazy. I think it must be me. You are right. ]

After the favorability system went crazy, Ye Zheng said softly: "Turn it on."

[.... watch me go crazy, will you become happy? ]

"Yes."

Ye Zheng was torturing the favorabity system in her heart, but on her face she was meek and innocent. She shook Tangli's arm and said, "Tell me quickly, don't make me want to be interested."

Tangli couldn't stand her coquettish attack. She originally wanted to tell her secret, but now she held her hand decisively and said, "Follow me."

"Where to go?"

"You'll find out soon enough."

Tangli pulled her upstairs. Ye Zheng was not familiar with this floor. She had never been upstairs before and this was the first time.

She followed Tangli's footsteps and saw with her own eyes that Tangli took out a key and opened the door.

Ye Zheng looked at Tangli in surprise and saw Tangli leaning against the door, "Let me introduce myself. From today on, the two of us are neighbors upstairs and downstairs."

She stretched out her hand to Ye Zheng and said with a smile, "As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Please take care of me in the future."

"It turns out that the moving company I occasionally meet is moving your things."

[Treacherous woman, do you believe my words now! She just has bad intentions! ]

"Is there a possibility that this is not a bad intention, but is pursuing me?"
