Chapter 38 Conspiracy (The Bet)
"Ah~ I'm exhausted!" In the evening, Ling Yue pounced onto Hong Ying's sofa.
"Brother Yue, you're really not showing any brotherly affection! Look what we're carrying!" Lin Qiye stared at Ling Yue with a resentful look. Outside the door, Lin Qiye was carrying a suitcase in his left hand and a bag of various clothes in his right.
Black stockings could be vaguely seen through the loosely packaged bag...
"That's right, Ling Yue. We're buying things from you, why don't you bring something to help us out?"
"That's right!" Hongying and Si Xiaonan, who had finally finished taking everything out of the car behind Lin Qiye, also looked indignant.
Originally, they adhered to the principle that it wasn't their money and they shouldn't be the ones carrying the things, so they bought a lot of things. But who knew that Ling Yue would shamelessly say that he was tired and wanted to go back to rest, so the task of carrying the things was handed over to Hong Ying, Si Xiaonan and Lin Qiye.
Ling Yue, on the other hand, didn't seem to care at all. "What a joke! I don't need any of the things you bought anyway. You can use them if you want. Besides, didn't Qi Ye say he likes bikinis? Let Qi Ye wear them all."
Hearing this, it was Hongying and Si Xiaonan's turn to feel embarrassed. They had indeed gone a little overboard with their shopping, and hadn't considered whether Lin Qiye and Ling Yue could actually wear some of the things they bought... For example, the women's lace they bought, the black and white stockings, the Superman Qiang-style bikini, and the Xiao Feifei-style dress...
"Ahem, since it's not like Qi Ye likes to wear these anyway, let Qi Ye wear them all!" Hong Ying couldn't possibly admit her mistake in front of Ling Yue, so she simply pushed all these things onto Lin Qi Ye.
"Come on, Qi Ye, try these clothes on first to see if they fit!" Hong Ying accurately found the "Superman Strong style bikini" that Lin Qi Ye liked among the many boxes.
Lin Qiye's face immediately turned ugly. "Sister Hongying, I'm not feeling well, so I'll go back and rest first!" Without waiting for Hongying's permission, he rushed into his room, afraid that if he was too slow, Hongying would catch him and force him to change clothes.
Hearing this, Ling Yue, who had been lying on the sofa, perked up. "I also remembered that I hadn't finished my daily game quests. I'm going back too!"
In less than three seconds, the two men in the living room were running away with their heads in their hands.
"Xiao Nan, are you alright?" Hong Ying looked around and finally spotted Si Xiao Nan shivering in the corner.
Si Xiaonan: Don't come any closer!
The next morning—
Lin Qiye did not wake up Ling Yue next door as usual, but went to the Peace Agency alone.
"Captain, money is so hard to earn, we can't let Ling Yue waste it like this!!" As soon as Wu Xiangnan walked into the office, she heard Lin Qiye's tone, which was three parts heartache, three parts indifference, three parts excitement, and one part nonchalance.
Chen Muyi wholeheartedly agreed, his sentiments also tinged with sympathy for Ling Yue and Lin Qiye. "Yes, I'll try to persuade Ling Yue..."
Although he sympathized with Ling Yue, Chen Muye knew that Ling Yue was not someone who could be easily swayed by him, precisely because he understood Ling Yue.
"What are you talking about?" Wu Xiangnan asked curiously as he walked into the office. Yesterday, he heard the captain say that Hongying and Si Xiaonan were to take the two of them to buy some daily necessities. He immediately mourned for Ling Yue and Lin Qiye for three seconds and spent the rest of the time gloating.
Back then, he also suffered greatly from Hongying and Si Xiaonan. The Snow White model and magical girl transformation wand that Hongying and Si Xiaonan bought for him are still kept in his home as evidence!
Then Lin Qiye told Wu Xiangnan about his miserable experience yesterday, being tricked by Ling Yue and forced by Hong Ying and Si Xiaonan to buy all kinds of bikinis, JK uniforms and stockings. Finally, he told Wu Xiangnan his purpose.
"I want to give Ling Yue some clothes. Xiang Nan, you'll definitely help me, right!?"
Wu Xiangnan gasped, thinking that Lin Qiye's decision was absolutely perfect!
Then he nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, Seven Nights. I will definitely fulfill your wish with the captain!"
Lin Qiye breathed a sigh of relief; otherwise, he wouldn't have been confident he could have tricked Ling Yue on his own...
Meanwhile, the protagonist of this incident is still on his way to the Peace Agency.
"Hehehe, yesterday really changed the plot the most since I transmigrated! I even bought Lin Qiye a few more bikinis and JK uniforms, which are things that Lin Qiye in the original story never even touched!"
Ling Yue was mentally reviewing his heroic deeds from yesterday, completely unaware that his own crisis was about to befall him.
"Qi Ye, why didn't you wake me up this morning? I got a scolding from Lao Mu because of you." Ling Yue arrived at the training ground and looked at Lin Qi Ye, who had arrived early to practice, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
Lin Qiye, however, showed no remorse whatsoever. "What about the bikini incident yesterday..."
Seeing this, Ling Yue quickly interrupted Lin Qiye's complaint, "Ahem, it's my fault, it's all my fault!"
The two were practicing when Chen Muye arrived. "Ling Yue, I've made up my mind. Tomorrow, you and Qi Ye will go to the Beijing training camp. You'll take the high-speed train tomorrow morning." Chen Muye's expression was serious, as if he had made a decision he had been hesitating about for a long time.
Upon hearing Chen Muyi's words, Ling Yue quickly retorted, "No way, Lao Mu, I promise I'll never sleep in again. Besides, how can you be sure this year's training camp will be in Beijing, and not in our Cangnan City?"
Chen Muye just laughed it off, thinking it was a lie Ling Yue made up to avoid going to the capital immediately. "What a joke! The Night Watch training camp has always been in the capital. If we don't go this year, I'll do a handstand and have diarrhea!"
When Lin Qiye heard Chen Muye make such a solemn oath, he secretly gave Chen Muye a thumbs up. As expected of his captain, he dared to make such a solemn oath to embarrass Ling Yue!
Ling Yue chuckled inwardly; it seemed Old Mu's reputation was truly ruined this time. However, he didn't stop him. "Fine! If this training team is in Beijing, I'll let you do whatever you want with me!" Ling Yue declared confidently.
This time, Chen Muye was truly in deep trouble, but he couldn't be blamed entirely, since he swore the oath himself, not that Ling Yue forced him. Ling Yue only won the bet with Chen Muye through 'luck'.
"Okay!" Chen Muyi was relieved to hear this. He had been worried that Ling Yue wouldn't dare to bet with him, after all, how could he be wrong after being a night watchman for so many years!? However, hearing Ling Yue's certainty still made him a little suspicious, but his many years of experience made him put his guard down.
Afterwards, Chen Muye secretly gave Lin Qiye an 'OK' sign and then pretended to be very busy and left.
Seeing this, Lin Qiye thought things were going to be stable, but in his mind, Ling Yue didn't seem like someone who would do something he wasn't sure of.
"Brother Yue, how did you dare to make a bet with the captain? You're so confident!" Ling Yue smiled crookedly, indicating that it was a secret.
In fact, Ling Yue had felt something was off about Chen Muyi and Wu Xiangnan, who was sitting in his office, ever since he arrived in the morning. He saw a scheme in the eyes of Chen Muyi, Wu Xiangnan, and Lin Qiye, so this time, just to be on the safe side, Ling Yue did not tell Lin Qiye.
Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have been able to hide it before; he would have said, "He calculated that the training camp will be held in Cangnan City," or "A friend of mine told me that the training camp will be held in Cangnan."
