Female Transformation: I Run Away When I See the Female Lead
Chapter 11 Token
"Miss, you..." Jiang Yuji hadn't finished speaking when his companion grabbed his arm. The man said in a low voice with a nervous look on his face, "Brother Jiang, that's enough! Let's go!"
Jiang Yuji seemed a little unwilling, but seeing his companions' reactions, he knew that there were people here whom they could not afford to offend, so he could only snort and followed his companions out of the inn.
The girl watched Jiang Yuji and the others leave and smiled faintly, with a hint of sarcasm in her smile.
Then she gently swung the sword in her hand and put it into the scabbard. The whole movement was as natural and graceful as flowing water.
After doing all this, she turned to look at Bai Jin, with a hint of curiosity and an indescribable sense of familiarity in her eyes.
"Thank you." He simply said to the girl in a calm tone, without any emotion.
"Oh my god, this person looks familiar. Could it be that there is someone else besides the original owner who is doing PUA for Jiang Yunjiu?" He walked towards the counter to pay after figuring it out.
Then he walked straight to the room upstairs without looking back, as if what had just happened was nothing to him.
The girl watched Bai Jin go upstairs, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, as if she knew who this person was.
She turned around and said a few words to the shopkeeper, then completed the check-in procedures and went upstairs to rest.
The diners who were left at the full table were still talking about it, marveling at what had just happened and the girl's background and identity.
Lying quietly on the soft bed, I tossed and turned, feeling the unprecedented comfort.
This is a feeling of relaxation that I haven't experienced in Zuojie for four years.
"Finally! I can finally sleep on a real bed!" I murmured to myself, with indescribable emotion and excitement surging in my heart, almost crying.
66 is speechless seeing the host’s inner drama every day.
"After the host gets the token, are you still worried that there will be no bed for you to sleep on?"
As night falls, the sky is gradually shrouded in darkness.
He quietly got up, put on a black nightgown, and blended into the night like a ghost.
When he arrived at the outer wall of the Jiang family, he looked around and confirmed that there were no patrolling guards. Then he took a running start and climbed up the high wall. Entering the inner courtyard,
Relying on the system navigation, he quietly passed through the intricate courtyard of the Jiang family and came to the small courtyard where Jiang Yunjiu lived.
I was a little curious about the layout of the yard and for a moment, I let my guard down.
However, it was this moment of negligence that put us in a passive position.
Jiang Yunjiu had already noticed the movement outside the door.
The moment she saw Bai Jin cautiously push open the door, she had a premonition of why Bai Jin came.
He approached slowly and faced Bai Jin who looked surprised.
Her tone was calm yet somewhat provocative: "Bai Jin, we finally meet. You came here so late at night, didn't you just come to admire my yard?"
He was caught off guard by the sudden situation, but quickly regained his composure.
"Damn, how can she be so smart?" He secretly admired the person in front of him, who was extremely smart.
"Young Master Jiang really has a keen eye for talent."
Bai Jin admitted frankly, "Yes, I am here to retrieve the token. You also know my identity and understand how important the token is to me."
Jiang Yunjiu smiled slightly. She was not in a hurry to reveal the answer, but let the atmosphere brew in silence.
"Since Your Highness has spoken frankly, I will also speak frankly. This token is indeed in my hand." She gently stroked the surface of the token with her fingers, as if recalling a past event.
"However, Your Highness, have you ever thought about what price it would cost to get it back?"
He deliberately avoided Jiang Yunjiu's movements on the token, and had already prepared for the worst. "As long as I can get the token back, I will agree to any conditions."
Jiang Yunjiu stopped stroking. Her eyes were sharp and firm as she looked straight into Bai Jin's deep eyes, and her tone revealed unquestionable determination.
"Third Prince, perhaps you haven't heard yet, but the Emperor recently issued an imperial decree betrothing me to the Fourth Prince. This marriage is not what I desire, but under the heavy pressure of my family, I have no choice. However, if I were to enter the royal family, I would rather choose someone I am at least familiar with, or even know very well."
She paused briefly, her tone filled with a hint of resignation and determination. "I believe Your Highness has already guessed that the person I'm referring to is none other than you, Your Highness. While we may not have been childhood sweethearts, we've known each other for many years and know each other well. Your status as a royal family presents a perfect opportunity for our collaboration."
"What about the duration of the cooperation?" he asked.
Jiang Yunjiu gently placed the token, a symbol of trust and power, in Bai Jin's palm. He could feel the delicate coolness of her hand, and a blush crept into his cheeks. Fortunately, due to the darkness, Jiang Yunjiu didn't notice.
66 suddenly interjected: "Host, you are blushing."
He went straight into 66's consciousness and covered his mouth, as if to hide the fact that he was saying, "Shut up!"
"Wait until Your Highness removes the Fourth Prince's name from the engagement, then we can discuss cooperation." Jiang Yunjiu's words were like the night breeze blowing across the lake, with a slight chill, but also revealing an unquestionable determination.
After pondering for a moment, he nodded.
"Okay," he answered simply, his voice low and powerful, revealing an unquestionable determination.
Then, he tightly grasped the token in his hand. The token was engraved with intricate patterns and flickered faintly in the moonlight.
This is not only a symbol of identity, but also a proof of power.
His fingers gently stroked the surface of the token, as if feeling the temperature when Jiang Yunjiu took it.
Her face started to flush again.
"Goodbye," he spoke again, a hint of urgency in his tone.
After saying this, he turned and left, the corners of his robe fluttering gently in the wind, and his figure gradually disappeared into the night.
Jiang Yunjiu looked quietly in the direction of departure until the figure was completely hidden in the darkness, then he slowly turned around and walked into the house.
Her steps were light, yet carried an indescribable heaviness, as if she already had her own plans for everything that was about to happen.
As soon as I returned to the Worry-Free Inn, I collapsed on the bed like a deflated ball and sighed:
"Damn it, luckily we were able to reach a normal cooperation, otherwise I might not even have any bones left now."
System 66's voice rang out in my mind again:
"Jiang Yunjiu's situation is far more complicated than you might imagine. Every step she takes now could affect the entire Jiangcheng. Behind the engagement might be a political alliance or the survival of her family. It's not that she doesn't want to fight for her freedom, but she knows that the fate of Jiangcheng rests on her shoulders. Therefore, every choice must be made with extreme caution."
Hearing this, he frowned, understanding the pressure and heavy choices Jiang Yunjiu was facing.
"So, maybe she's weighing the pros and cons, trying to find a balance between fulfilling her responsibilities and not sacrificing her personal happiness? So that person is me?"
"That's right." 66 confirmed.
Lost in thought.
I was secretly thinking about my next plan. "Whatever, let's get some sleep first."
