CHAPTER 185: CHAPTER 185: SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY

Successfully finding her seat, Gu Ningyue fastened her seatbelt, lowered the tray table, and looked at Lin Ruixian beside her. "I’ve always had a question to ask you, but I don’t know how to start."

Lin Ruixian took off his sunglasses and put them in the front pocket, his lips curving into a charming smile that could make anyone’s heart skip a beat. "I know what you want to ask. I can only say there’s nothing I can do. Since leaving there, I have cut off contact with everyone from that place."

"Otherwise, do you think I wouldn’t know where Cheng Yihan is?"

They only knew Cheng Yihan was in the Y City neighborhood, but exactly where depended on their search efforts.

That neighborhood has a total of thirty-five buildings, each with hundreds of residents. Finding Cheng Yihan quickly wouldn’t be easy.

"Will Cheng Yihan know?" Gu Ningyue pondered aloud. "They’ve always had a cooperative relationship, there should be hope, right?"

Lin Ruixian shook his head, "Even if he knows, do you think he would tell an outsider? Even as for me, probably not possible. Moreover, Cheng Yihan has never been inclined to trust others. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have such fame while choosing to hide his whereabouts, appearing randomly in some city."

Gu Ningyue smiled bitterly upon hearing this, "Appearing and disappearing without a trace, he’s even harder to find than us."

Lin Ruixian seemed to lament those times as well, his voice sounding somewhat deep, "Yeah! It’s really tough."

The plane hadn’t taken off yet, and someone was moving around in the aisle, unsure whether looking for their seat or searching for something else.

A girl in a white dress walked by twice, stopping for the third time beside Gu Ningyue, "Hello, may I ask, are you two a couple?"

Gu Ningyue found it strange, thinking she might’ve encountered some kind of sales pitch, "No, is there something wrong?"

The girl in the white dress had an amused look in her eyes, "No, well, can we switch seats? I’m not very comfortable sitting by the window."

Gu Ningyue furrowed her brow, wasn’t it unusual these days for someone to be uncomfortable by the window?

When just boarding the plane, Lin Ruixian had plopped down inside, not giving her any chance at all.

This excuse seemed flimsy.

She glanced at the girl in front of her, who looked unremarkable, with even some freckles on her face.

"But..."

"No!"

Before she could say ’okay,’ a firm voice rang out simultaneously.

Gu Ningyue turned her head, looking at Lin Ruixian, and asked, "Why not? I like the window seat. You know that!"

Lin Ruixian was resolute, "I said no, so no, sorry young lady, please ask someone else! I want to sit next to my friend."

The smile in the eyes of the girl in the white dress vanished, and she looked disappointedly at the two, "Sorry for disturbing you. I’ll ask someone else."

As her words fell, the lady sitting in front turned her head to look at her, "Young lady, I’ll switch with you. I can sit anywhere."

The girl in the white dress’s expression became instantly unsightly, but she had already spoken, and turning back now would clearly show her intentions to everyone.

"Alright!"

Not long after, the girl in the white dress switched seats with the lady.

Gu Ningyue resisted the urge to laugh, softly saying to Lin Ruixian, "Look at you, causing trouble!"

Lin Ruixian spread his hands, indicating it wasn’t related to him.

She just found a bad excuse, and he wasn’t going to be responsible for someone else’s actions.

Because the girl in the white dress was now sitting in front, they naturally couldn’t speak too loudly.

The plane took off, the massive roar deafening.

Gu Ningyue looked at Lin Ruixian and asked, "By the way, have you really not found a girlfriend after all these years?"

Lin Ruixian nodded, "Haven’t found."

Gu Ningyue looked him up and down. Although in terms of appearance he paled in comparison to Ling Tianyou, Lin Ruixian had a gentle, jade-like aura that attracted girls more.

How could he not have a girlfriend?

In the past, Gu Ningyue could’ve said it was because of mission obligations, leaving no time.

Now that Lin Ruixian was no longer part of the organization, why hadn’t he considered this crucial issue?

This puzzled Gu Ningyue.

Lin Ruixian chuckled, "I like to be alone. Women would just slow me down when drawing my sword!"

Gu Ningyue: "..."

Throughout the journey, they chatted intermittently, while the girl in front occasionally turned around to glance back.

But from her angle, she couldn’t really see Lin Ruixian, and he didn’t pay much attention, pretending it all didn’t exist.

Only when the plane landed, and the girl in the white dress disappeared into the sea of people did Gu Ningyue jest, "It’s tough you’re indifferent to the young lady!"

Lin Ruixian shrugged indifferently, "It doesn’t concern me, I just don’t want to be in a relationship. Even if a deity descended to say they wanted to be with me, I’d still not care."

Gu Ningyue asked with her luggage in hand, "Why? You don’t like women?"

Lin Ruixian: "..."

Lin Ruixian: "...What absurd things are you pondering! My sexual orientation is perfectly normal, thank you!"

"Alright, alright!" Gu Ningyue waved her hand, "I was just saying randomly. Why get worked up? Hurry up, before we hit rush hour traffic and get stuck."

Lin Ruixian looked speechless, and after they had confirmed their identities at the hotel, Gu Ningyue took the room card, opened the door, and plopped directly onto the soft bed.

So tired! It’s been ages since she flew, and just a few hours made her whole body ache terribly, as if it would kill her.

After lying in bed for an uncertain amount of time, finally a knock sounded at the door: "Come on, let’s go out to eat!"

"Hey!" Gu Ningyi responded, quickly changing into casual wear to go out with him.

"Hmm, now it looks like you." Lin Ruixian said while hailing a cab, inspecting her attire, "This looks better, more comfortable."

Gu Ningyue glanced at her casual outfit; it indeed resembled her past life’s appearance.

It’s just a pity that her face was already vastly different from before.

And this body had no resemblance to her previous self.

"Wearing gowns isn’t bad either!" Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but argue, "Don’t you think I look good in gowns?"

Lin Ruixian gave a faint smile, "That’s not you, even if you look good, it doesn’t matter!"

Gu Ningyue gazed at his face, suddenly feeling a pang in her heart, "No, from now on, I am Gu Ningyue."

But this Gu Ningyue is completed using Weiwei’s soul!

Some things weren’t within her decision, and since heaven gave her the chance, she naturally should seize it well!
