Chapter 485: Flying to Lin Jiali’s House
With that thought in mind, Su Yang did not intend to delay any further and wanted to test it out immediately. His method of experimenting was simple as well. He would take a taxi to the airport and buy the nearest plane ticket to the Imperial Capital.
4 hours later, Su Yang successfully landed at the Imperial Capital.
When he arrived at the Imperial Capital again, Su Yang gave Lin Jiali a call. “h.e.l.lo, where are you?”
Lin Jiali said, “Ah? I’m at home.”
Su Yang asked, “Have you eaten?”
Lin Jiali had just gotten out of bed. She had just returned to the Imperial Capital yesterday afternoon after taking up a drama series and had been working tirelessly for a month and a half.
She had been an avid sleeper since she was young. Coupled with the fact that she had been tirelessly recently, it was a.s.sured that she would sleep through the entire day.
She had slept for about 17 to 18 hours until she woke up in the afternoon. She was still wearing her thin pajamas and looking for food when she received a call from Su Yang.
So she said reflexively, “Oh… I haven’t eaten yet.”
Su Yang replied, “Give me your address.”
Lin Jiali was at a complete loss. She had no idea what Su Yang was up to. However, Su Yang had never harmed her, nor did he ever harbored any malicious intentions towards her. Hence, she gave Su Yang an address without any hesitations.
After giving her the address, Lin Jiali hurriedly said, “If you were intending on ordering some takeaway for me, there’s no need for you to do so, really.”
Su Yang was confused.
‘Why does her tone sound so much like my childhood self when I refused to accept any gifts?’
As Su Yang complained, he said, “Don’t worry, I won’t be ordering takeaway for you.”
With that, Su Yang hung up the phone and walked out of the airport leisurely. He neither took the bus nor hailed a taxi and just walked out.
After getting off the highway and pa.s.sing through the trees on both sides of the road, Su Yang made sure that there were no cameras or onlookers nearby. Then, he used [Hands Of Fate] and flew over according to the address Lin Jiali gave him.
When he arrived at Lin Jiali’s apartment, Su Yang deactivated his abilities after confirming that there were no surveillance cameras within his vicinity. Then, he took out his phone and opened the virtual s.p.a.ce app and tapped lightly. Instantly, a plastic bag with 4 lunch boxes appeared on the floor.
Su Yang picked up the plastic bags and rang the doorbell.
Lin Jiali was still looking around her room like a cute little mouse. She scoured everywhere, but… Found nothing.
Lin Jiali stomped her foot angrily. “D*mn Duo’er, are you trying to starve me to death?! Don’t you know how to replenish my food stock?!”
However, since she was beautiful, she still looked exceptionally cute even though she was gritting her teeth.
Just as Lin Jiali was considering whether she should make a bowl of noodles to feed her hungry stomach or order takeaway, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Lin Jiali blinked in surprise, unable to guess who was looking for her.
Due to her occupation, she did not stay at home often and would be out instead. It was also due to her occupation, she did not have many friends. Therefore, there were only a few people who would know her address or even know that she was at home at that moment.
Therefore, she really could not think of who was looking for her.
‘Did Su Yang order takeaway for me?”
Lin Jiali looked at the time. ‘It has only been 8 minutes since Su Yang called me. How could he be so fast?
‘So it’s definitely not takeaway.
‘Who could it be then?’
She hesitated for a while before she decided to… Pretend that she was not home…
Lin Jiali continued to rummage through her stockpile at home. She had almost scoured through the entire house before finally finding a piece of almost expired bread in a compartment under the TV cabinet.
She sat on the ground and happily took out the piece of bread. Her eyes were s.h.i.+ning. She opened the packaging and was about to eat her fill when… the doorbell rang again. “Ding dong, Ding dong.”
This time, the doorbell rang along with Su Yang’s voice. “Lin Jiali, open the door. I know you’re home.”
Lin Jiali’s hand trembled as she held the bread. Shock was written all over her beautiful face. ‘Su Yang? Why is he here?
‘Didn’t he just call me 8 minutes ago?
‘So… Could it be…
‘Could it be that takeaways are highly efficient nowadays?’
At the thought of this, Lin Jiali happily threw away the bread, put on a coat, and rushed to the door.
Su Yang, who had been waiting outside the door for 2 minutes, finally heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the sound of running. He had thought that Lin Jiali was suffering from gas poisoning in the room, or she fell and knocked her head on the table, or she accidentally choked on her airway while eating…
Just as he was thinking about something else, the door opened, and Lin Jiali, who had no makeup on, appeared at the door. She was wearing a peach-colored nightgown. The nightgown was not long, it was just enough to wrap around her round b.u.t.t.
Perhaps it was because she was not wearing her bra inside, so she put on a jacket and zipped it up to cover her slender figure.
She had probably just gotten out of bed, hence she did not have any make-up on. Moreover, there were some marks from the bedsheets on her face. Even so, it could not hide her natural beauty.
Lin Jiali was a girl who was naturally beautiful. She was born to live in the spotlight and was so beautiful that she could probably pull on anyone’s heartstrings.
However, it was also because of this that she had a halo around her after she put on makeup. It made it hard for people to get close to her, hence they could only look at her from afar and not touch her.
Now that she had removed her makeup and the halo was gone, she felt much more easier to approach.
As she opened the door, she looked at Su Yang in surprise and gulped.
Then, she looked down and saw the plastic bags in Su Yang’s hand. Her eyes lit up and she exclaimed, “Thank you!”
As she said that, she took a deep bow and took the bags from Su Yang. Then, she closed the door with a “bam”.
Su Yang did not even have time to react before the food was s.n.a.t.c.hed away. His face had turned dark with confusion.
‘What the f*ck!’
Su Yang knocked on the door again. A moment later, the door opened again. Lin Jiali, who had a bowl on 1 hand and a chopstick on the other, appeared behind the door.
Half of her face was lowered into the bowl as she looked at Su Yang curiously with her beautiful eyes. Her cheeks were puffed up like a hamster as she kept moving.
She looked like she had no idea what was going on. “Who are you?”
Su Yang was speechless
Lin Jiali remained silent as well.
The both of them stared at each other for a while before Lin Jiali swallowed the noodles in her mouth. Then, she slapped her own forehead with the hand that she was holding her chopsticks with. “Oh my goodness, look at me… I must be extremely starving to have thought that you were a delivery boy.”
Su Yang was speechless.
‘I knew it…’
Lin Jiali chuckled and opened the door. She then said in embarra.s.sment, “Su Yang, please come in. I’m sorry. I’m so hungry that I’m hallucinating.”
As Su Yang walked into Lin Jiali’s house, he teased, “Yea right. You imagined me wearing a blue takeaway suit and shouting ‘Don’t call your mom when you’re hungry, just shout it out ‘, isn’t that right?”
Lin Jiali closed the door and chuckled. “Actually, Meituan would be fine too. I’m not picky about who delivers when I’m starving.”
Su Yang was confused.
‘She sounds like she’s ready to skin the delivery boy alive and eat him.’
As he entered Lin Jiali’s house, Su Yang ignored Lin Jiali who was constantly slurping behind as he scanned her house.
It was a loft which was quite uncommon and the most eye-catching thing was the 5-meter-long, floor-to-ceiling window. It was wide, bright, and looked modern.
The house was decorated in a fas.h.i.+onable and feminine pink style. The staircase upstairs was a high-end floor. It looked pretty, but it was not very practical.
Su Yang turned to look at Lin Jiali. “Is this your own house?”
Lin Jiali looked up from her bowl. “Oh, yes it is.”
Su Yang nodded and walked forward. ‘The room of a girl living alone isn’t as clean and tidy as how it’s shown in dramas. Instead, it’s as dirty and messy as a boys’ room. The only difference is that no matter how messy the room is, there’s no traces of smoke, only a faint fragrance unique to girls.’
Su Yang walked over to the coffee table in the living room. He picked up one of Lin Jiali’s tank top that was on the sofa and tossed it aside before sitting down. As he took out the other dishes, he called out, “Don’t just eat the noodles. Come, sit down and eat some of the vegetables.”
Lin Jiali wasn’t embarra.s.sed at all by Su Yang’s discovery of her personal belongings as she simply sat down and continued eating.
As Su Yang looked at Lin Jiali eating, he asked, “How long have you not eaten?”
Lin Jiali looked up from her bowl. “Slurp. Let’s see… Almost a day.”
Su Yang asked, “Why aren’t you eating?”
Lin Jiali rolled her eyes at Su Yang. “To earn money for an unscrupulous Imperial Capitalist like you?”
Su Yang was speechless
‘That’s true. After all, whatever profits Lin Jiali earns has to be split with the company.
Lin Jiali took a bite of the food and asked, “Why are you here?”
Su Yang said, “I was just pa.s.sing by, so I took a detour. Plus, I’ll be able to come here more often when we’re more familiar with each other..”
Lin Jiali nodded silently and continued eating.
Su Yang turned around and continued to size up Lin Jiali’s house without any worries. He planned to throw his eyeball at Lin Jiali’s house so that he could teleport to the Imperial Capital in the future.
Su Yang had thought of throwing his eyeball somewhere else, but… He did not have a place to stay in the Imperial Capital. Furthermore, it would be too dangerous to throw it in public since there might be people around him at any given moment. Apart from that, there were too many people in the company, and his sudden appearance would arouse suspicion.
Finally, the only suitable location would be Lin Jiali’s house. As a celebrity, she often wasn’t at home, hence it would be more convenient for him to travel as he pleased.
Even if she was at home, he could use [Hands Of Fate] to leave.
Of course, there was another important reason for choosing Lin Jiali. Lin Jiali had a quirky personality, akin to how people normally call someone a slightly insane person.
If it were anyone else, they would be curious as to why Su Yang would drop by their house, how he arrived at their doorstep within 8 minutes and how he bought a bunch of food coincidentally.
However, Lin Jiali wouldn’t. She’d automatically come up with a bunch of reasons and… Convince herself to believe what Su Yang had explained.
So… after Su Yang thought about it, he decided to put his first eyeball in Lin Jiali’s house.
‘Where should I put it…’
Su Yang continued to size up Lin Jiali’s room and began to hesitate…
