Chapter 865: Chapter 865

"This was bought by my grandfather!"

The lady boss recounted the history of the house. After the war had ended and there was so much to rebuild, her grandfather had opened the New World Grand Hotel with his exquisite culinary skills, making quite a name for himself in Gwangju.

"Our hotel used to be a must-visit culinary holy land for foreign tourists!"

Han Suying sighed, "I don’t know why, but the business has been declining over the years!"

Lin Baici didn’t know what to say to comfort her. Gwangju had been hit by a meteor and turned into God’s Ruins; it was now a forbidden zone for humans. Not to mention the New World, even Gwangju itself was done for.

Aside from God Hunters, there would be no tourists coming to visit.

So no matter how hard the lady boss tried, the restaurant would continue to decline.

Thinking about it, Lin Baici suddenly felt that the lady boss was quite pitiful, having to repeat this cycle over and over again.

"You take a seat first, I’ll go find that painting for you!"

After brewing two cups of coffee, Han Suying prepared to head to the basement.

"Shall I come with you?"

Lin Baici was worried that the painting might be Taboo things, which could threaten the safety of the lady boss.

"No need, I haven’t cleaned for a while, and it’s quite dirty down there!"

Han Suying declined. She was gone for over an hour, and just as Lin Baici grew impatient and was about to go look for her, the lady boss returned.

"While searching for the painting, I came across many things that brought back memories of my student days!"

Han Suying smiled awkwardly, her eyes a bit red, clearly having cried.

"Thank you, I appreciate the trouble you’ve gone through!"

Lin Baici said apologetically, his gaze falling on the painting.

It was an oil painting with a frame, depicting a young man with vibrant colors and expressive lines, especially his eyes.

Lin Baici felt that if he crossed into a fantasy world with elves, magic, and Giant Dragons, he would probably have the same look in his eyes.

This young man was clearly a being from beyond Blue Star, suddenly witnessing the illusionary realm of Blue Star and humans, hence his bewildered expression.

[An artifact that has never been activated!]

[Because it is blessed by the God, its eruption of rule pollution is all positive, and can be understood as an enhancement spell in video games!]

[It invokes a sense of nostalgia, joy, and the idea that life is beautiful and one should not waste youth!]

[Someone contemplating suicide who sees this painting would immediately abandon such thoughts and start to actively enjoy a new life!] Latest content published on novel•fire.net

Eater God’s commentary.

Lin Baici raised an eyebrow. Originally, he wanted to ask Han Suying if he could have the painting, but seeing how carefully the lady boss handled it, he gave up on the idea.

Because it represented a most beautiful memory for the lady boss.

After admiring the painting, Lin Baici sat for a while longer, then got up to say goodbye.

Han Suying originally wanted Lin Baici to stay, but after hesitating, her sense of shame prevented her from voicing the invitation.

After the lady boss escorted Lin Baici to the door, she suddenly made up her mind, called out to him to wait, and ran back inside the villa.

Two minutes later, Han Suying came out with the oil painting.

"It seems you really painting, so I’m giving it to you!"

The lady boss handed the painting to Lin Baici, but he did not accept it.

"This is too valuable!"

Han Suying laughed. She liked Lin Baici’s considerate and gentle nature.

If you married me, then wouldn’t we all own this painting?

Han Suying forcibly gave the painting to Lin Baici, thinking that maybe when he looked at it, he would remember her.

"Thank you, then I’ll accept it without further ado!"

Lin Baici took a taxi back to the hotel, and a crowd immediately surrounded him.

"Why are you back so early?"

Li Yintong spoke incredulously, "The lady boss probably invited you for instant noodles, right?"

"Even if she didn’t ask, if you had stayed, I think she wouldn’t have refused!"

Gu Qingqiu shook his head, looking disappointed, as if to say you had food delivered to your door, and you didn’t eat?

Gu Qingqiu really wanted to ask, you don’t actually like someone like Hua Yue Yu who looks underage, do you?

"Deputy team leader, if I had your conditions, I would’ve conquered a hundred hearts by now!"

Yi Jisheng, hugging his girlfriend, looked down on Lin Baici.

"For you, having money is enough!"

Lin Baici teased that for a puppet doll, as long as you have money, you can buy as many as you want and even order custom-made ones. "By the way, where is Che Zhengshuo?"

Lin Baici looked around but didn’t find Che Zhengshuo.

"Off to do the task!"

Li Yintong felt regretful; the cannon fodder was gone.

Che Zhengshuo, in this team, had no interpersonal connections. He was bound to leave, otherwise why would he stay and be used as a gun?

"The Lady Boss gave me..."

As soon as Lin Baici began to speak, she stumbled, what did the Lady Boss give me?

Did she give me something?

Lin Baici’s brow furrowed tightly. After thinking it over, it wasn’t that she was given something, but that she was invited to the villa to drink coffee that was hand-ground by the Lady Boss herself.

"Baici, you need to work hard, so that the Lady Boss falls in love with you quickly. I think in six days’ time at the Empress Western Restaurant, if nothing unexpected happens, it will be the moment when the dagger is revealed after the map ends!"

Gu Qingqiu encouraged her.

People like Xia Hongyao had no intention of doing the task, Li Yintong tried, but there wasn’t enough time, let alone finding a man who loved her, she couldn’t even manage to meet a few men.

Posting selfies on social media to fish for attention was an option, but there were many who wanted to sleep with her and very few who loved her.

The relationship between Lin Baici and the Lady Boss was lukewarm.

During the day at work, and at night, Lin Baici would invite the Lady Boss to dinner.

The Lady Boss seemed to particularly enjoy this stuff.

After eating it for four days in a row, Lin Baici began to wonder if there was something wrong with it, but Eater God hadn’t given any critique, so it seemed to be normal.

Sometimes, when the Lady Boss arranged for Lin Baici to go out and fetch goods, she would also come along, take the chance to drink coffee, or get a milk tea!

Or they might pass by a university and walk around inside.

Lin Baici had plenty of opportunities. If he wished, he could have already crossed that line with the Lady Boss, but he never took that leap.

Thunder exploded, and a rainstorm burst forth unexpectedly.

"Brother Lin, what are you hesitating for?"

In the restaurant, Li Yintong was wiping the table with a cloth, utterly bored, so what if you sleep a bit? It’s not like you’re losing a chunk of flesh.

Lin Baici stayed silent.

"Do you despise the Lady Boss for being a monster?"

Li Yintong speculated. With only one day left, Tai Mei couldn’t help but hurry him, "Have you seen the news?"

"Welsh men fancy sheep, and Indians even go for lizards, so how you look at it, the Lady Boss is a beautiful young widow, right?"

Li Yintong wanted to continue persuading him when the girl at the front desk put down the phone and shouted to Lin Baici.

"Oppa, the Lady Boss’s car broke down halfway, can you go pick her up?"

"Brother Lin, it’s your chance!"

Li Yintong was anxious; there really was no time left.

Lin Baici took a taxi and, forty minutes later, found Han Suying’s car broken down on the roadside.

Lin Baici got out of the cab and held an umbrella for the Lady Boss.

"I want to go have coffee!"

The Lady Boss didn’t get into the taxi and looked at Lin Baici before suddenly running forward.

Lin Baici yelled, chasing after her for a few steps and grabbing Han Suying’s arm.

Han Suying bellowed, trying to break free from Lin Baici’s hold.

All these days of hinting, Lin Baici was acting as if he didn’t understand, making Han Suying feel both embarrassed and ashamed. Today, the car breaking down, coinciding with the heavy rain, triggered an outburst from Han Suying’s emotions.

She sat in the car, listening to the thunder roar and watching the rain beat against the window, making a pitter-patter sound that made her feel as if she were sitting on a deserted island.

Seeing couples running past holding hands beside the road, Han Suying felt miserable. Happiness belonged to them, sorrow was her own!

Lin Baici shouted. He knew he couldn’t dodge this any longer, "What you want, I can’t give you."

It was precisely because of Han Suying’s sincerity that Lin Baici couldn’t deceive her. Otherwise, if he were a scumbag, he would have slept with both Hua Yue Yu and Xia Hongyao long ago, not even sparing Li Yintong.

"You don’t know at all what I want!"

Han Suying laughed with tears streaming down her face, mixed with the rain, "I just want to have you for one night!"

After saying that, Han Suying suddenly took Lin Baici’s hand and ran towards the love hotel next door.
