Broken.
When Wayne lay on the soft big bed the next day and opened his eyes to see the unfamiliar ceiling, he only felt a sense of loss and confusion.
After a long time, the remaining memory fragments of yesterday gradually returned.
The scene with Song Li ended abruptly after finishing the ordinary-looking bottle of wine.
...Is my ability to drink so weak?
He was speechless about this.
Having said that, it has been so many years since I traveled back in time, and I have never tested this body's alcohol capacity.
I didn't like drinking much in my previous life, but I enjoyed drinking juice with my friends at various banquets I attended in this life.
Damn it! What a great opportunity last night!
He hammered the mattress, annoyed.
Eh... last night?
Suddenly realizing something, he immediately lifted the quilt and sat up in shock.
He was still wearing yesterday's clothes, sitting on Geli's bed, smelling of alcohol all over his body.
It's another beautiful sunny day.
Sunlight shines in from the window on the side, reflecting the indoor scene in detail.
It's daytime...
It's daytime? !
After realizing this desperate fact, Wayne almost lost his soul.
Song Li had already gone somewhere, and everything in the room was normal.
—Except for Wayne himself.
Without enough time to think about what was going on, he hurriedly hid his figure and hurried back home.
After he returned to his room as fast as he could and sweating profusely, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the door that was tightly closed.
Fortunately, he locked the door before leaving.
However, it is already early morning.
For Chrissy, who waited for her to have breakfast with him every day, she must have tried knocking on the door, but she didn't get a response.
You have to find a justifiable excuse.
By the way, pretend to be sick!
In the original plot, although he is a magic genius, he is not very strong.
Chris was probably more or less affected by the setting, so she often worried about whether she was sick... As long as she showed herself as weak as if she had a high fever, she wouldn't doubt why she didn't open the door.
I rinsed my body hastily and changed into ordinary clothes. There was still a faint smell of alcohol on my body.
After sniffing himself, Wayne frowned.
Why does the wine taste so strong?
The alcohol content of wine is obviously very low!
Even the highly concentrated wine in this world shouldn't have such a strong smell...
Forget it, never mind.
Then just pretend that you were in a bad mood and drank, and then caught a cold in the wind.
There is also some wine stored in the Duke's Mansion, but in the past, only Duke Elliot drank a little occasionally, and at worst he would bring a few bottles to forge evidence.
Wayne's brain CPU processed the huge flow of information at high speed and quickly found a feasible path.
He walked to the door and prepared to unlock it so that no one would find him "suffering from high fever and confusion" later.
However, when his hand just grasped the doorknob, Wayne's movements stopped.
The last bit of luck——
Broken.
The lock on my door is no longer there.
Chris... must have come in too.
According to common sense, a mansion with many rooms like this would indeed have spare keys.
However, they were the only owners in the entire Duke Wenche Mansion, and they had never had to use a spare key to open the door before.
And...except for Chris, no one would enter his room without permission. He was careless for a moment.
In the past, the secret assassination in Chen Cang went so smoothly that he mistakenly thought that as long as he came back before dawn the next day, nothing would happen.
Who knew that I might not have time to come back today?
what to do?
This is not something that can be easily fooled by a perfunctory excuse like "the poor sick guy can't open the door."
Staying up all night without telling everyone around you——
No matter how you look at it, this can’t be a serious thing!
The door in front of him was obviously the same as yesterday, but in an instant it became as heavy as a thousand pounds, making it impossible for him to push it open.
Time passed by minute by minute.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but the Duke's Mansion is particularly quiet today.
Before he could find a logical excuse, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open by someone from the outside.
Wayne, who was deep in thought, was startled and took two steps back.
——It’s Chrissy.
Seeing Wayne standing at the door, a flash of surprise flashed across her face.
But soon, his expression returned to expressionless.
Seeing Chris unexpectedly, Wayne opened his mouth to say something.
But he found that he couldn't find a suitable excuse at all, so he had no choice but to close it again.
You can't say that you secretly went out to help the old lady cross the road in the middle of the night...
He didn't think Chris was that easy to deceive.
Chris looked at Wayne's obviously changed clothes and remained speechless.
"Where...did you go yesterday?"
She turned her back and closed the door.
"I...I'm going to deal with...some things." Wayne answered in a confused tone.
"whats the matter?"
Chrissy turned around and looked into his eyes.
"..."
Wayne took a deep breath, stepped forward and held her delicate hand.
"Don't ask me yet, okay? I'll tell you after a while." He wanted to change the topic.
If not, how else can we say it?
If he directly confessed that he was looking for Geli now, it would be a dead end!
"Ah."
Chris sneered, "Wait until you think of a suitable excuse before you deal with me?"
——How do you know me so well? !
"of course not!"
Wayne was inexplicably sad and angry.
If you become a gangster here with Chris, how can you still have fun in the future?
Now that she discovered it for the first time, even if she got through it, it would definitely arouse her suspicion.
Maybe the next time I go to see Ge Li, there will be a three-chamber trial when I come back.
It's so miserable, I...
"I really...want to do something serious." He explained with difficulty.
Yes.
At first, he wanted to express his dissatisfaction to Song Li.
The Edgeworth family's "Dandelion Press" targets its own publishing house in every aspect, and its ongoing planning is basically the same as that of Leaf Press.
This is definitely a naked provocation to the dignity of the entire Wenche family.
Since the Edgeworth family has sent out such a hostile signal, it is natural that they cannot get a friendly response.
Others jumped in their faces, and it was impossible for the Winche family not to fight back...whether it was from business or politics.
However, Wayne didn't want to see that result.
He didn't want the Winches and Edgeworths to become incompatible with each other.
...Although the previous relationship was not much better.
