Chapter 599: Fork in the Underground Maze

Speaking of which, can Zhu Shijiu really remain calm when he is with a girl who is openly in a relationship with him? The answer is naturally no.

Zhu Shijiu is not a wooden man. He can actually vaguely sense Luo Suyi's affection for him, especially after the two of them had a heart-to-heart talk in the hospital that day. Zhu Shijiu felt that his evaluation of Luo Suyi was also positive. The two of them had a "surface couple" relationship, which had a little impact on him after all.

But he didn't really want to continue to strengthen the relationship between the two.

Because his time is different from anyone else's.

For example, he may gradually reduce his feelings for a person during the time of continuous replay. This is an inevitable thing. Even if he really falls in love with Luo Suyi, once one day he needs to keep replaying, then from his perspective, it is equivalent to a long period of cooling off, but in Luo Suyi's eyes, he will only be a scumbag who has lost interest in her inexplicably.

Another example is that if a couple goes through a certain experience together, once the experience is replayed, only he will remember the whole picture. If a precious memory is mixed in the timeline of the replay, then he can only bear the pain of the memory no longer existing alone, and pretend that nothing happened.

For various reasons, Zhu Shijiu kept his distance from the matter of love, and always faced Luo Suyi with a vague attitude.

He undoubtedly had a good impression of Luo Suyi, but he was afraid to go further, so Zhu Shijiu, who had little experience in love, actually didn't know what to do.

This time, there was a legitimate reason to invite Luo Suyi to the library, and there was also a legitimate reason to invite Luo Suyi to go out for a walk.

Zhu Shijiu took Luo Suyi to the toilet.

Luo Suyi was a little confused: "Is this what you mean by 'just strolling'? To the toilet?"

How can you take someone to the toilet on a date?

Luo Suyi found that she couldn't understand Zhu Shijiu's brain circuit for a while, but then something happened that made her even more incomprehensible. Zhu Shijiu turned around and plunged into the women's toilet!

But after a moment, he came out again: "Ahem, go in first and see if there are any other people."

Luo Suyi also reacted a little at this time. Maybe there was something in the women's restroom that he wanted to show her...but why was it hidden in the women's restroom? She went into the women's restroom with a frown on her face, and came out after a while: "No one."

"Then come in with me. There is a passage leading to the alien insect forest in the women's restroom. I told you about my time in Papua New Guinea before. Now I will take you to see Misha, the insect girl I brought back from Papua New Guinea...Hmm? What's wrong?"

Luo Suyi was speechless for a long time and shook her head: "Nothing."

That's right. If this guy really took her to walk on the street, it would not be in line with his personality.

She was very happy that Zhu Shijiu was willing to believe her, but she didn't like this way of expressing trust.

When Zhu Shijiu met her, he always talked about business. If there was no business, it was as if there was nothing to say. This still showed that the relationship between the two was not very deep. She could feel that Zhu Shijiu had been resisting in his heart, so she had never tried to strengthen the relationship between the two. Zhu Shijiu brought her here today, which should be considered a major breakthrough.

At this time, Zhu Shijiu had already lifted the floor tile in the middle of the women's toilet, revealing a dark hole.

But Luo Suyi asked cautiously: "Does the chess club agree?"

Zhu Shijiu was slightly stunned, and then he remembered his character. On the surface, he was just a powerful chess piece of the chess club, so should he say that this situation was his own decision, or was it the order of the chess club?

At this moment, Zhu Shijiu, who had both emotional intelligence and IQ, replied: "The chess club let me choose people I can trust and let them know the core of the insect research plan."

Luo Suyi was relieved, and it was hard to tell whether she was happy or unhappy on her face: "That's good, I thought you were going to violate the confidentiality rules and bring me here on your own initiative."

Zhu Shijiu thought for a while and asked: "What if I really violated the rules on my own initiative for you?"

"Then I will leave now. I hope you don't lose your mind because of anyone. Are you sure it's the right choice to bring me here? Have you thought about whether I can be trusted? This not only involves the chess club, but also the black soldier organization..."

Zhu Shijiu directly stopped Luo Suyi's worries: "Don't worry, I've considered it. I believe you 100%."

Well, before the replay.

Before the replay, he can trust anyone.

Luo Suyi was moved and muttered: "That's good."

She didn't say anything at this time. She looked around and confirmed that there was no one around. Then she went down the passage with Zhu Shijiu and closed the floor tiles.

The underground passage was pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly. Luo Suyi could only sense the breathing of Zhu Shijiu beside her, who was very close to her.

If she were outside in bright light, and if someone was so close to her, even if that person was Zhu Shijiu, she would keep her distance. But now, a subtle secret joy rose in her heart, as if she was secretly enjoying the little luck she had stolen with the help of this darkness.

However, the next moment, this little luck was suddenly broken.
