Everyone arrived at the hall one after another.

Li Mu and Wu Xuewen were not in a good state, and it was right, after all, Wang Yaoyao's death had given them a great shock.

Li Miao's expression was not very good either. She searched for a long time but couldn't find the necklace.

Song Jing and Ji Yuan also arrived at the hall one after another. When they saw Qin Ye and Lin Qi, Ji Yuan's eyes were always locked on Lin Qi.

Lin Qi avoided Ji Yuan's gaze, looked at the rose in his hand, and then looked at the housekeeper again.

——Just now in the study

"We have found the necklace." Lin Qi said to the butler.

The housekeeper smiled, took a rose from the bouquet in his hand, and walked towards Lin Qi.

Seeing this, Qin Ye immediately pulled Lin Qi behind him and stared at the butler coldly.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to reward him for finding the necklace." The housekeeper handed the rose to Lin Qi with a smile.

Lin Qi glanced at Qin Ye, took the flowers and handed the necklace to the butler.

[System? This is the reward? This is too perfunctory.] Lin Qi didn't think this rose had any special function. It was just an ordinary flower, freshly pulled from the bouquet!

067: “…”

——Back to the lobby

"The reason we gathered everyone together is because someone has found the necklace." The butler smiled, his blue eyes scanning everyone present. Those eyes were like the calm surface of a lake, without a single ripple.

"Has someone found it? Who is it?" Li Mu asked hurriedly, holding his right shoulder. He had been looking for it for the whole morning and couldn't find it. How could someone else get there first?

"Thank you very much for your help. Madam is very happy, but—" The housekeeper did not answer Li Mu's question. He held his forehead as if he had a headache and said, "Madam just said that she lost her diamond ring."

"So I hope you can help find it. If you find it, Madam will give you a corresponding reward."

"Everyone, please do as you please."

After saying that, the butler left again as he did last time.

Everyone was shocked. Isn't this just a hassle?

Li Mu was furious, but he could do nothing about it.

Li Miao's eyes lit up when he heard this. Although he didn't find the necklace, he still had a chance to find the ring.

Only Lin Qi stood there in a daze, looking at the rose in his hand thoughtfully.

"Who found the necklace?" Li Mu suddenly asked.

Lin Qi raised his hand, "I found it."

Everyone looked at him, with surprise and envy in their eyes.

Li Mu stepped forward and asked, "Did you really find it? What's the reward?"

Lin Qi looked at Qin Ye and raised the rose. "It's just a rose."

Li Mu was a little skeptical. "Roses? Nothing else? Or did you hide it secretly? Lin Qi, we are all classmates, there is no need to hide it."

"No, there are only roses..." Lin Qi's face turned pale and he explained palely.

"What's the use of roses? You must have hidden them..." Li Mu looked at Lin Qi angrily.

"If you want a reward, go find it yourself. You're useless, yet you expect others to hand the reward to you?" Ji Yuan said coldly to Li Mu.

"I..." Li Mu wanted to say something but was stopped by Wu Xuewen.

——You, you, you, what do you mean by you? Don’t blame the uneven road for your own failures.

——Lord, even if there are other rewards, why should my wife tell you

Li Mu snorted coldly, turned and left.

Seeing this, Wu Xuewen and Li Miao also left the hall together.

"You are very powerful." Ji Yuan walked over and patted Lin Qi's shoulder under Qin Ye's cold gaze.

Lin Qi's face flushed pink from the praise, and he said embarrassedly, "No... Qin Ye found it. He's very good."

Qin Ye raised his eyebrows, seeming to be very pleased with Lin Qi's words.

After staying in the hall for a while, everyone left.

In the evening, Lin Qi sat on the bed, looking at the rose in his hand, his little face wrinkled.

I searched all afternoon, from the first floor to the third floor, but couldn't find the ring.

[By the way, why is the necklace in Wang Yaoyao's bag?] Lin Qi sighed, feeling that his IQ was not high enough.

[It’s too difficult! System! ]

[Host, don't worry. It's only the first day.] 067 consoled him.

Lin Qi placed the roses on the bedside table and prepared to go to bed.

[System, please close the live broadcast room.]

Lin Qi closed his eyes, but the events of today kept coming to mind. Just as he was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door.

“Boom boom boom…”

Lin Qi immediately opened his eyes, sat up and stared at the door.

[That thing is here again, right?] Lin Qi asked the system in his mind, his face pale.

The system seemed to have disappeared.

Lin Qi swallowed nervously, his hands clenched into fists. The knocking continued, and his heartbeat grew faster and faster.

"Who... who is outside?" Lin Qi's voice trembled a little.

There was no response from the other side of the door, and the knocking stopped.

After a long time, Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but then he heard the sound of the door lock turning.

"What...what's going on?" Lin Qi widened his eyes and his body involuntarily stepped back.

The door slowly opened, and a dark figure appeared at the door. Lin Qi was so nervous that he could hardly breathe. He stared at the dark figure closely.

Suddenly, the lights came on and Lin Qi saw the person standing at the door - it was Qin Ye.

"It's me." Qin Ye's voice was calm and low, "I came to see you."

Lin Qi immediately relaxed and smiled awkwardly, "So it's you, I thought..."

"Why?" Qin Ye walked into the room and looked at Lin Qi, a subtle tenderness flashing in his eyes. "Are you afraid of ghosts?"

Lin Qi's face flushed instantly. He lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers, "I...I'm not afraid!"

Qin Ye's mouth curled up slightly, "That's good. But, if you don't close the door when you sleep at night, aren't you afraid that bad guys will come in?"

Lin Qi raised his head and looked at Qin Ye, "I locked the door."

"Maybe it's broken." Qin Ye walked to the door and checked the lock, then turned back to look at Lin Qi, "Sleep at my place tonight."

"It's not very good," Lin Qi said a little embarrassedly.

"Then you want to sleep alone?" Qin Ye asked Lin Qi.

Thinking of the monster who knocked on the door last night, he hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. The two walked out of the room together and came to Qin Ye's bedroom.

Qin Ye's room was simple and elegant, exuding a masculine air. Lin Qi sat on the bed, somewhat reserved, while Qin Ye picked up a book and sat on the sofa, quietly flipping through it.

As time passed, Lin Qi gradually began to feel sleepy. He yawned and rubbed his eyes. Qin Ye put down the book and looked at Lin Qi. "Go to sleep if you're sleepy."

Lin Qi nodded, climbed onto the bed and got under the covers. After an unknown amount of time, Lin Qi finally fell asleep.

In his sleep, he felt someone gently stroking his hair, and the warm touch made him feel extremely comforted.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the window onto Lin Qi's face. He slowly opened his eyes and found himself sleeping in Qin Ye's bed.

"Are you awake? Go wash up." Qin Ye came out of the bathroom and looked at Lin Qi sitting on the bed in a daze.

"Okay." Lin Qi got up immediately and walked into the bathroom in slippers.
