Scientific Travel

Deng Yin wasn't stupid; Gao Ruizhe's words were clearly a confession.

Even if she did like him, it would be impossible for her to be with him.

They're not from the same world, she definitely has to go back.

She had briefly considered staying because of Aunt Wang's family, though it was just a fleeting thought. But now, she had no such thought at all.

As the saying goes, the more a person lacks something, the more obsessed they become with it.

Family ties were, to some extent, an obsession for her.

Indulging in self-deception for a while is enough; you're just a substitute, yet you're actually treating yourself like the real deal?

Deng Yin did not have this kind of habit.

As for love, Deng Yin is not interested in it and would never stop for it.

A condiment...

No, a condiment that doesn't taste good will never end up on the dinner table.

That's strange. What is Gao Ruizhe trying to achieve by taking this route?

Could she have guessed correctly that Deng Yin's biological parents left behind something important?

Why don't you try pretending to be in love with him?

Deng Yin suddenly realized that his curiosity wasn't that strong after all.

Having learned from this failure, Gao Ruizhe became even more determined and decided to stop holding back.

In addition to three meals a day, he made a variety of pastries for Deng Yin every day.

Deng Yin enjoys taking baths, so he boils water every night and adds a secret recipe to it, which is said to make the skin smoother the longer you soak.

Every morning after cooking, he would stand in front of Deng Yin's door to make sure that he was the first person she saw when she came out.

Deng Yin'ai loves reading storybooks, but Gao Ruizhe doesn't have that talent, so he often travels between the two places to buy her the latest storybooks.

Deng Yin saw Gao Ruizhe's behavior and started ordering him around even more frequently.

Gao Ruizhe felt that the attack had made progress, but the others did not think so.

At least Qiu Qingyu doesn't think so.

On the contrary, she felt that Gao Ruizhe was about to become Deng Yin's true servant.

Gao Ruizhe's actions weren't entirely useless; at least they eliminated one wrong answer for her.

From the moment Qiu Qingyu arrived, Deng Yin knew that she definitely knew Gao Ruizhe, and their relationship wasn't very good.

It's possible it was staged, but in any case, the two are likely backed by the same person.

The other party really thinks highly of her, sending both men and women, so that no matter which gender she prefers, there are people to choose from.

Thinking about it carefully, the first time she encountered that group of beggars was when she was stockpiling goods. She would always put on makeup when stockpiling goods, so she shouldn't have been discovered.

The storybook says that as long as the female lead wears a fake beard, no one will be able to tell that she is disguised as a man. In fact, she is not disguised as a man at all, but only disguises her face, so she should not be discovered.

Yes, that's right! It definitely has nothing to do with this!

Deng analyzed the situation, but coincidentally missed the correct answer.

The female lead has to wear a fake beard so that no one can tell she's disguised as a man; an ordinary girl wouldn't be able to do that.

Gao Ruizhe's initiative to confess his feelings was in vain, while Qiu Qingyu did the opposite, waiting for Deng Yin to confess to her.

Waiting idly won't work. You need to say something ambiguous without revealing that you've already fallen for them. You need to make the other person feel that you said it unintentionally.

People like Deng Yin have a strong desire to conquer. To win the heart of someone like him, you have to pretend that you have been conquered.

That's why Qiu Qingyu earns so much; she not only analyzes things, but she can also devise a detailed battle plan.

Accidentally touching someone's hand when giving them something; always staring intently at the other person; praising them no matter how ordinary the other person's actions are, but not insincerely, knowing where to draw the line.

Compared to Gao Ruizhe's approach, Deng Yin was definitely more receptive to Qiu Qingyu's.

Despite the food, Deng Yin's attitude remained the same: impartial, fair, and incorruptible.

Where can you find a servant who works so efficiently, cooks so well, and doesn't even need wages?

Let's talk about it when we get tired of it.

Two months have passed, and Deng Yin still maintains the same lukewarm attitude.

Qiu Qingyu was the first to panic.

Even boiling a frog in lukewarm water for two months would cook it, not to mention the months before that.

Feifei also sensed something was wrong. Gao Ruizhe and Qiu Qingyu were both very strong, and there had never been anyone they couldn't defeat after so long.

At this point, there's only one possibility...

Inside Qiu Qingyu's room.

Feifei sat in the middle, while Gao Ruizhe and Qiu Qingyu sat opposite each other.

Feifei, with a serious expression, spoke first: "I suspect Deng Yin knows your identities."

"Impossible!" Gao Ruizhe slammed his fist on the table. "We never leave anyone alive during our missions, there's no way she could know our identities."

Qiu Qingyu rolled her eyes at Gao Ruizhe.

"What are you filming for? To show off your strength? I think Feifei has a point. There's never been anyone I haven't been able to win over in this long."

"Hmph, if someone is no good, just say they are no good. Why make excuses?"

"Since you say I can't do it, then I'll show you whether I can or not!" Qiu Qingyu said the last three words through gritted teeth. You didn't even need to see her next move; you could tell just by listening to her voice.

Feifei quickly stopped Qiu Qingyu. "Don't make a move, both of you keep your voices down, or Deng Yin will find out soon enough."

"Don't worry, I'll do it quietly. I guarantee he'll die before he even has a chance to scream."

Gao Ruizhe ran to the door and placed his hand on it. "I'm telling you, stay away from me, or I'll scream!"

"Heh." Qiu Qingyu shook off Feifei's hand and sat back down on the stool. "Watch your mouth, or I'll show you what it means to have trouble coming from your own mouth."

Gao Ruizhe wanted to say something, but seeing Feifei's eyes, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

Hmph, let her off the hook this time.

Feifei, afraid that the two would start arguing again, quickly continued the discussion from where they left off.

“As I just said, this is just my suspicion, I’m not sure yet. But the organization said this month is the deadline, if we can’t take her down, we’ll kill her. We’ve already wasted too much time on her, even if we only get the little money Wei Wujiang gave her in the end, that’s all we can do.”

Gao Ruizhe's expression was displeased, and his tone was also unfriendly. "How did the organization find out about that money? Qiu Qingyu, did you tell them?"

Qiu Qingyu didn't hide anything, "Yes, I said it. Is there a problem?"

"......No."

Gao Ruizhe had long suspected that Deng Yin knew his identity; her current attitude towards him was very similar to how she had treated Wei Wujiang back then.

As for why I didn't say...

If he completes this mission, he will still have a chance to save Deng Yin. Otherwise, whether Qiu Qingyu completes the mission or she finds out their identities, they will only face certain death.

I hope she's a little smarter...
