NOVEL NEXT Chapter 101.3: I’m Back (3)
Li Mingyue let out a soft sigh.
Without trying to convince Ji Fanyin of anything, she bid her farewell.
Ji Fanyin removed the phone from her ear and launched the 【Temptation of Home 】 app to monitor her progress.
She was still two hundred million points away from her goal.
Two seconds later, the progress bar suddenly jumped two spaces forward.
Li Mingyue had probably passed on her rejection to Li Xiaoxing.
Half a minute later, the progress slowly eased into the 100% position.
A second later, the fully charged progress bar disappeared from the screen and was replaced by a fireworks animation to celebrate the achievement of her final goal.
Next, a series of numbers appeared on her screen.
【01:00:00】
When the number became 【00:59:59】in the blink of an eye, Ji Fanyin understood it was a countdown timer.
Even though she had expected this, she still could not help but let out a soft sigh.
She tapped on the little question mark at the corner of the timer to launch a small box of description: 【This is the countdown for you to return to your own body. It cannot be disrupted. Please move to an empty area with no one around and wait for your transmigration home. 】
It cannot be disrupted…
Ji Fanyin tightened her grip around her phone and slotted it back into her pocket. She made her way back to the living room and stared at the sleeping Chen Yunsheng for a while before leaning down to wake him.
The youngster woke up in a daze. He rubbed his eyes. “I’m sorry for dozing off… When I heard you were coming over today, I was so excited that I could not sleep last night.”
Ji Fanyin ran her hand through his hair, rustling it. “I have something on, I need to go now.”
“Ah, is it work-related?”
Chen Yunsheng was a little disappointed. “You’ve always been busy, it can’t be helped.”
“I’ve already witnessed the results of your cooking lessons.” Ji Fanyin smiled at him and asked, “You have always behaved obediently in front of me. Is it because you know I don’t reject such people?”
The blunt question of hers stunned him. He blushed. “... It was just a guess…”
“I’m not saying it’s bad.”
Ji Fanyin straightened her back and stuffed her hands into her pockets. “My heart did soften a little for you.”
“... You have always been soft-hearted towards everyone in the studio.”
Chen Yunsheng pouted.
Ji Fanyin laughed. “I really need to go. I’m going to be late.”
It was then did Chen Yunsheng realize she already had her bag on. He stood up with her. “Is it that urgent?”
“Did you drive here?”
“Yes.”
Ji Fanyin made her way to the entrance to change her shoes. Before she left the house, she took another look at Chen Yunsheng.
The youngster was standing at the foyer, watching her change her shoes. They were only an arm’s length apart. If she reached her hand out now, she would be able to touch him.
Sensing her gaze, he looked up into her eyes questioningly, his dark brown eyes glittering.
Ji Fanyin took a step forward and pulled him into her embrace. “It’s regrettable. But there’s no choice, what I have to do now is more important.”
