Chapter 388 Lake Classic: Limited Time Offer (12 hours)
Lin Xiu had just opened her eyes when she was embraced.
"Xiuxiu, you're finally awake."
The boy had soft, silvery-white hair, and his voice trembled slightly without him even realizing it. Despite his slender build, he was surprisingly strong.
He was wearing a white shirt and ordinary black trousers, with a slim waist and long legs.
This was Lin Xiu's first reaction; the feel of her body was very pleasant.
She felt slightly dizzy, but her body felt fine. She guessed that she had probably fallen asleep from the exhaustion of running around and escaping for days, but she didn't know how long she had been asleep.
[System] Looking up into the air, the first thing he did was call out to the system.
The panel displayed several lines of large text: [Task Completed, Bonus Task: Obtain the Lake Classic (12-hour time limit)].
The system is still upgrading at the top, but a small additional task has appeared next to the completed task.
What about the rewards for completing the Liu Linzhou mission?
What is "Lake Classics"? Is it a book?
Is the additional mission related to Liulin Prefecture?
"Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu." Eleven's voice interrupted my thoughts.
"I am fine."
Lin Xiu snapped out of her daze, looked around, and realized it looked like a hospital ward: "I want to get up."
"I'll help you up," Eleven said hastily, slightly excited.
"What happened? How long have I been asleep?" Lin Xiu asked. "What are you doing here? Where are Chaochao and Lin Yi?"
Looking around, he saw that apart from the bodyguards, there was no one else, including Chaochao and Lin Yi.
“You’ve been asleep for three days, day and night…” Eleven explained the current situation.
After Chaochao successfully found her, she fell into a coma. When she came to the hospital, the diagnosis showed that she was fine, just too tired and fell asleep. Unexpectedly, she slept for three days.
Such a big commotion could no longer be kept secret, so the news spread back to Haishi.
Lin Yi and Jiu Chuan discussed it, and since Yi Butu also wanted to know about Lin Xiu's situation, they rushed back on the 11th, leaving Lin Yi's brother to temporarily take over in Haishi.
He stayed here every day, waiting for Lin Xiu to wake up.
“Lin Chao has been watching over you every day recently, but I heard he has a lot of things to take care of afterward, and he just left not long ago,” Eleven recounted truthfully.
During this period, he and Lin Chao took turns guarding the area, and he was always there whenever the other party needed help.
Lin Xiu nodded. She was unconscious, so Maine's plan must have succeeded. Lin Yi couldn't control things on his own, and Chaochao knew that she didn't fully trust Lin Yi. The two of them were not only mutually restraining but also complementary.
He knew nothing about the other eleven; his only task was to guard her.
He moved his hands, and the handsome silver-haired boy's eyes reddened: "I'm so scared."
"What are you afraid of? I'm awake now, aren't I?" Lin Xiu smiled, reaching out to touch the other's face to comfort him, but then, as if remembering something, she put her hand down.
"Call Chaochao, I'm going to find Liu Linzhou." She needed to find out what had happened during her coma, and what Hudian was. Time was limited, so she had to test Liu Linzhou.
"But your health," Eleven said urgently.
"I'm fine."
"Then I'll go with you!"
The boy's hands were icy cold and held tightly, as if something bad would happen again if he let go.
Shiyi was scared. He didn't want to leave Lin Xiu. She was someone who was good to him and someone he liked. Why couldn't he stay by her side a little longer? Besides, she had just woken up, and he was worried about her.
Seeing his stubborn gaze, Lin Xiu had no choice but to agree.
They are currently at the border and have not returned to Haishi, so Liu Linzhou is still in Maine.
Chuck's plan failed, the Green Gang collapsed, and the General's position was also in jeopardy. A large area of territory and interests was handed over, and everyone wanted a piece of it.
Everything else was divided up by the major powers, while Chaochao focused on eliminating those with ulterior motives in the territory that had been agreed upon at the beginning.
According to what Chao Chao said on the phone, Hudian is also an important area that has been contested for over a century. Now, there are only two competitors left: Nansa and Liulinzhou.
A local resident and an outsider created a standoff between the two sides.
What she had to do was to snatch this lucrative prize from both sides.
Inside the car, Lin Xiu felt a headache coming on as she thought about the information she had received. These two were both extremely ambitious individuals, and it was almost impossible for her to give up on them.
Over in Liulin Prefecture...
Suddenly, she opened her eyes and made a decision.
Let's see how much Liu Linzhou's life-saving grace is worth.
"Have something to eat." Eleven took out some food, which she had asked her bodyguard to buy when she called the taxi.
"I'm not hungry, Eleven." Lin Xiu shook her head, looked Eleven up and down, and finally her gaze fell on Eleven's silver-white hair: "Won't Jiu Chuan give himself away?"
The twins are identical, but their hair colors are different.
“I usually wear a wig.” As she spoke, Eleven became a little nervous, staring intently at Lin Xiu: “With this look, if an emergency happens, my brother can take my place.”
He was telling the truth, and he was lying.
In fact, he didn't want Lin Xiu to not recognize him and his brother, so he chose this approach.
“Okay, how about Yibutu?” Lin Xiu didn’t say anything.
“He’s a good person. I’ve been learning from him recently. This time, not only did I want to come, but he also wanted me to come. He said that Xiuxiu, you should let him know as soon as you wake up. Should we tell him?”
Eleven was intelligent and cautious. He knew that Yibutu never trusted him and that Lin Xiu's situation could affect the situation in Haishi.
Therefore, he did not tell Yibutulinxiu that she had woken up immediately.
He was Xiuxiu's man, so he had to do things according to Xiuxiu's ideas.
“Tell him!” Lin Xiu smiled, this time reaching out to ruffle the boy’s silver-white hair, and the latter cooperated by lowering his head.
Eleven is undoubtedly a very good person.
She was intelligent, clean, and gentle, but she was also the one she pushed to the front.
Lin Xiu knew perfectly well that she couldn't possibly have anything going on with him.
To maintain a good image and appear to have an innocent life, one must be able to present a positive image to others.
Then, he will have connections, and at that time, there will inevitably be another separation from her.
People change, especially those who stand in the spotlight. It's hard for them to become mere henchmen. The further they go, the more they receive than just what she gives them. There are bound to be countless entanglements behind the scenes, just like Ibtu. One wrong move and the whole game is lost. After experiencing the world, they start to consider things from their own perspective.
Therefore, if you want to hold onto eleven and prevent future changes, making concessions now will only deepen your feelings and strengthen your ties of interest.
Years later, everything has changed, and only when there are no other feelings will there be any reservations or affections.
He will have a family, a wife and children, and he will rise higher and higher, but he will also have more and more entanglements in his life, which is the card she holds to restrain him!
She withdrew her hand, patted Eleven, and turned to look out the window.
