Chapter 250 – Gu Qiuxue has arrived Although Lin Jichen had rejected her, Jiang Luoyu wasn't too disappointed. She had long noticed that Lin Jichen was highly vigilant towards strangers and never easily gave his heart away.@@@@ This trait was quite similar to her own; she also found it hard to trust strangers. But her wariness stemmed from the constant feeling that those who approached her were after her family's wealth. Lin Jichen's vigilance, however, was likely due to the heavy blow of betrayal he had suffered. So Jiang Luoyu understood Lin Jichen very well. Yet, she was genuinely worried about his safety. "Maybe... move to Jiangling..." Jiang Luoyu suddenly had this thought. She snapped out of it, startled by her own unreliable idea, and quickly dismissed it... After Li Fengwen left, Lin Jichen and the Moon Shadow Guild continued their venture into the Corpse King Valley as usual. The notion that Jiang Luoyu had dismissed was disrupted once again by Lin Jichen's sudden AFK. "I have something to deal with, be right back." Lin Jichen hurriedly said this and went AFK on the spot. Jiang Luoyu suspected he might have run into trouble again. Anxious but helpless, all she could do was instruct the guild members to protect Lin Jichen and ensure his safety while he was AFK. The idea of moving to Jiangling resurfaced in Jiang Luoyu's mind. Living in Jiangling, even if she didn't know where Lin Jichen lived, she could still help him immediately if anything happened... This thought gradually took root in Jiang Luoyu's heart. Outside, the reason Lin Jichen had hurriedly logged out of the game wasn't because he was in danger, but because the doorbell rang. Always vigilant, Lin Jichen immediately paused the game and went to check. It was already night, and he hadn't ordered anything online. Even if it were a delivery, they would have been off work by now. Qin Xiaowei wouldn't be back for several more days, so Lin Jichen began to wonder who this unexpected visitor could be. Could it be that Li Fengwen had figured it out and come to find him? Ding-dong~ The doorbell rang again. "Who's there? Little Lin, why aren't you opening the door?" Ren Lan also logged out of the game, asking curiously. Ren Lan looked up to see a beautiful girl with elegant features and eyes like autumn water rushing in, squatting down to check Lin Jichen's injury. Before Ren Lan could ask who she was, the girl raised her gentle eyes, filled with anger, and questioned her, "How could you hit someone like that?" Ren Lan stood there, dumbfounded, trying to explain, "I... I didn't mean to, I..." Before she could finish, Lin Jichen, recovering a bit, suddenly shouted joyfully at the girl squatting in front of him, "Sis!" Then he hugged her tightly! Ren Lan's mind went blank. Sis... Damn, could this be the cousin Little Lin mentioned? Oh no, this is so embarrassing. Hitting someone's brother in front of their sister, how could she possibly score any points now? "Little Chen, be good, let your sister check your eye first. If it's serious, we need to go to the hospital immediately." The girl's voice remained gentle, especially when talking to Lin Jichen, as if she could melt a snow mountain. But Lin Jichen didn't care, hugging her excitedly, "Sis, you're finally here. If you hadn't come, I would've gone to the Capital City to bring you back." The visitor was none other than Gu Qiuxue, whom Lin Jichen had been longing for, who had resigned from her job in the Capital City and returned, and was now Lin Jichen's only family. "Silly boy, didn't I tell you? Resigning takes more than a month to sort out. I had to hand over my duties and deal with our parents." Gu Qiuxue smiled softly, feeling a bit embarrassed being hugged by Lin Jichen, especially in front of another girl, and wanted to break free quickly. Fortunately, Lin Jichen finally let go, sparing her further embarrassment. "Sis, you told me on the phone two days ago that you wouldn't be here until next week. Why are you here today?" Gu Qiuxue smiled, "I wanted to surprise you." Seeing Lin Jichen's eye, she became anxious again, "Your eye is all bruised. Quick, sit on the sofa, I'll get some medicine for you." She said, walking out to pick up the two suitcases placed outside. Seeing this, Ren Lan quickly went over to help, trying to redeem herself. But Gu Qiuxue didn't give her the chance, still slightly displeased and angry, she walked past Ren Lan towards Lin Jichen on the sofa. Ren Lan stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do. It wasn't surprising that Gu Qiuxue was angry. After all, she had finally seen her beloved brother, only to find him beaten. How could she possibly be nice to Ren Lan? Seeing Ren Lan's grievance, Lin Jichen knew it wasn't her fault. If anyone was to blame, it was his own paranoia. He quickly explained to Gu Qiuxue, "Sis, you misunderstood. She didn't mean to hit me. We thought there was a bad guy, and she was helping me deal with him. She was just too nervous to see it was you. She's the senior I told you about from university, the really nice one, remember?" Ren Lan cooperatively put on a smile that looked worse than crying, trying to appear as obedient as possible.
