Soul Patch

Chapter 311 Why are you looking at me?

Yang Shanshan processed the information in her mind and concluded, "You sensed the magnetic field of the capital?"

"Clever..." Wenjie thought to himself, then turned and grinned at Yang Shanshan.

Yang Shanshan gave him a strange look: "What are you grinning about?"

"The longer you spend with me, the smarter you'll become..."

As Wenjie spoke, he moved to the chair next to him.

Yang Shanshan's waving arm swept through the air.

Hehe... I still can't hit it. Looks like it'll have to stay with me a little longer.

Yang Shanshan handed the empty milk tea cup to Wenjie: "Here, help me throw this away."

Wenjie took the milk tea cup, flicked his wrist, and the cup flew through the air in an arc, hitting the trash can next to him.

Yang Shanshan stared at the milk tea cup in the trash can and said leisurely, "I heard from Li Shiman that James was the same way, quite skilled, it's just a pity..."

Unfortunately, James is dead... Wenjie added in his mind.

"Did Li Shiman say how James died?" Wenjie sat back down next to Yang Shanshan and asked, looking into her eyes.

Her eyes were bright and slender, as clear and bright as amber.

Whenever Wenjie saw those naturally beautiful eyes, he felt as if he could stop breathing.

A shadow crossed Yang Shanshan's eyes, and her face darkened slightly: "I heard she was wiped out by the system."

what?
Were they erased by the system?
impossible!

Wenjie's pupils contracted slightly as he stared at Yang Shanshan's pretty face for a moment before saying, "Actually, I've always been curious about the cause of James's death."

A person with foresight can certainly foresee their own death.

If he wants to avoid being killed or encountering an accident, he certainly has the ability to prevent those terrible things from happening to him.

Therefore, I suspect that James' death was neither a murder nor an accident.

After ruling out homicide and accidents, only illness and suicide remain.

After listening to Wenjie's words, Yang Shanshan thought they made a lot of sense. She thought for a moment and added, "Is it unlikely to be an illness? Anyway, I've never heard of any disease that makes you fall ill without warning, is incurable, and leads to death."

After saying that, she was surprised herself: it seemed that nothing could kill James except the system and himself.

Yang Shanshan said casually, "Perhaps the system really did erase him."

So what did he do? Was it so serious that he was erased by the system?

He knew his actions would be erased by the system... but he still did it.

As the two were talking, it was time to board. Wenjie and Yang Shanshan slowly got up, walked through the long corridor, and arrived at the boarding gate.

While queuing to have his ticket checked, Wenjie looked around the M City Airport waiting hall and murmured, "Shanshan, on another timeline, we lived here for a while."

"Unfortunately, our dimensions are insufficient; we can only see a three-dimensional world, and at a time, we can only see a cross-section of a single timeline..."

"Yes, two-dimensional beings can only see two-dimensional graphics. The sphere they see is a circle (the cross-section of the sphere). Our real world is a three-dimensional world, and we can only see a three-dimensional cross-section of the multidimensional world."

The two of them talked incoherently for a while, then boarded the plane in low spirits, both feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.

Having found her assigned seat, Yang Shanshan sat down by the window.

Wenjie helped Yang Shanshan adjust the seat back, asked the flight attendant for a blanket, draped it over Yang Shanshan, and whispered in her ear: "After we return to the capital, don't come with me to look for spirit stones."

Yang Shanshan was leaning back in her chair, enjoying being taken care of by Wenjie.

But upon hearing Wenjie's words, she sat bolt upright, her eyebrows furrowing, her mouth opening and closing: "What do you mean? Wenjie, are you saying I'm clumsy and causing you trouble?"

Fool? Of course not, it's just a bad feeling... Wenjie's mood was a bit complicated. He lowered his eyes and didn't look at Yang Shanshan.

She was also a little afraid to make eye contact with Yang Shanshan.

Seeing the tears welling up in Yang Shanshan's beautiful eyes, he didn't know how to explain it to her.

Yang Shanshan stared stubbornly into his eyes, so he had no choice but to turn his head away and say in a muffled voice, "Okay, okay, I was just saying it offhand."

After saying that, he made a stroke on Yang Shanshan's little nose.

Yang Shanshan sniffed and said in a muffled voice, "Don't leave me behind, do you hear me!"

Wenjie was a little upset and closed his eyes without answering.

Soon the pretty flight attendants began serving dinner.

The start of cabin crew service meant the plane had entered the stratosphere. While waiting for the flight attendants to arrive, Yang Shanshan opened the window shade and looked up at the night sky.

Suddenly, Yang Shanshan excitedly patted Wenjie and said, "Wenjie, look, look! There's a fireball!"

"Fire Meteor?"

When Wenjie looked up, he saw nothing but airplanes flying over the city, and the scattered buildings and city lights on the ground.

He dismissively said, "I didn't see it. It was just a shooting star. Why are you so happy about it?"

A shooting star with a tail is called a fireball.

……

After the plane landed, the two walked out of the terminal at the Capital Airport.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to the restroom," Wenjie said, patting Yang Shanshan on the shoulder.

"Oh, then hurry up, I'll go check out the duty-free shop over there."

Women should always be vain, no matter the circumstances... Wenjie twitched the corner of his mouth, but didn't actually laugh.

He walked quickly toward the restroom and saw Yang Shanshan heading toward the cosmetics store. He then turned and walked in another direction toward the airport exit.

He jogged all the way to the taxi stand. Standing in line, he stared blankly at the dozens of people ahead of him, lost in thought.

Yang Shanshan will understand. He will call her once he gets the spirit stone.

He kept thinking that he had Yang Shanshan's number saved in his phone, and that he would definitely be able to see Yang Shanshan again... and his heart felt less heavy.

When it was his turn, he walked towards the nearest taxi, opened the door, and got in.

Just as the door was closing, a tall figure was seen standing at the door.

Yang...Shanshan?
"Shanshan, you...you..." Wenjie stammered, took a breath, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "You're walking too slowly..."

"Really? Maybe you were walking too fast!"

Yang Shanshan said sarcastically, and then, without hesitation, pulled open the door and sat down.

The driver was a woman. She looked at Yang Shanshan and then at Wenjie; the young couple was arguing.

She asked, "Where to!"

"hotel!"

Wenjie said with certainty.

"Hotel, here we go again..." Yang Shanshan rolled her eyes and said, "Go find spirit stones, who wants to go to the hotel?"

“Go to the hotel!” Wenjie said calmly, but his tone left no room for argument.

"I'm not going, and you're not allowed to go either! You, surnamed Wen, I'm warning you: don't even think about dumping me!" Yang Shanshan elegantly raised her chin.

The female driver in the front seat glanced indifferently at the two people in the back.

With a tap of the accelerator, the car started moving.

Aside from the airport, the car suddenly turned right, throwing Yang Shanshan directly onto Wenjie.

The female driver thought to herself: Young man, this is all I can do for you.

Unexpectedly, Wenjie let out a low growl.

His shout startled both women in the car.

"I'm a patient!" Wenjie shifted his body to the side.

Oh, right, Wenjie injured his left arm.

Yang Shanshan instantly forgot her anger and leaned closer to ask considerately, "How are you? Did it hurt when you bumped into someone?"

"Ouch!" Wenjie said half-jokingly.

Yang Shanshan felt a little guilty and said softly, "Oh, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, I forgive you!" Wenjie said matter-of-factly.

Yang Shanshan's tense nerves suddenly relaxed: thankfully, Wenjie's injury was nothing serious, and he wasn't angry anymore.

Wait, I was just angry with him.

After Yang Shanshan figured it out, when she looked at Wenjie, she noticed that he was struggling to suppress his laughter.

"Go ahead and laugh... Wenjie, there's really nothing you can't use! Take the 'you're a patient' joke, for example, how many times have you used it over and over again?" Yang Shanshan roared like a lioness from the east.

But you always fall for it... Wenjie stuck out his tongue.

After a while, Wenjie reached out and pulled Yang Shanshan into his arms: "Shanshan, I can take you there, but you have to promise me that you will protect yourself if we encounter any danger."

"Okay, I understand!" Yang Shanshan nestled obediently in Wenjie's arms.

Seeing that the two had finally stopped their public displays of affection, the female driver hurriedly asked, "Excuse me, where are you two headed?"

Wenjie and Yang Shanshan then realized what was happening and looked out of the car, only to find that the taxi had been parked on the side of the road by the driver. A long line of cars is always parked on the emergency lane of the highway exits near the Capital Airport; those are private cars or buses waiting to pick up passengers.

Emmm... In other words, the driver stopped the car, turned on the meter, and watched the two of them bickering back and forth for quite a while.

Nice
"Let's go to the outskirts of Beijing, drive northwest from the Capital Airport..." Wenjie mumbled.

He had a strange feeling, as if he had transformed into an electrified coil, and could clearly feel a strong magnetic field vibration in the northwest direction.

"No specific address?" the female driver asked in surprise.

“Yes, how can we navigate without an address?” Yang Shanshan added.

"What is navigation?" the female driver asked, even more confused.

Oh no, I've gotten into the habit of saying it... Yang Shanshan made a playful face.

"Let's drive first, I'll give directions," Wenjie said calmly.

He raised his arm and reached into Yang Shanshan's pocket.

Silently, he gripped the spirit stone tightly beneath the layers of wrapping.

The spirit stone felt his touch, and a buzzing and vibration came from his palm.

That's right, the connection between the two spirit stones is getting stronger and stronger.

Yang Shanshan was completely unaware of all this. She looked down at Wenjie, pointed at his hand that was in her pocket, and frowned, saying, "What are you doing? Are you afraid your treasure will get lost? You keep touching it!"

These words immediately created an extremely strange atmosphere in the car.

Wenjie pulled his hand out of Yang Shanshan's pocket as if he had been electrocuted.

"Cough cough cough..." He coughed awkwardly a few times, looked up and saw the female driver observing him through the car's rearview mirror.

When she noticed him looking up, she quickly looked away again.

"Hmm... what does it mean to look at me like this?" Wenjie thought to himself.
