Wayne finally realized that maybe he didn't know Chris as well as he thought he did before.
Even as a time traveler, this approach is by no means a common choice.
She seems to be much more pessimistic than the worry about gains and losses that is common among girls in love. It's more like accepting the worst outcome in advance, and then carefully trying to make a cut with the other person.
But, is this a healthy relationship development?
If this continues, I'm afraid they will become more and more separated from each other, until finally one day, I feel that I no longer need to be disturbed by such a person in my life.
"Chris. The so-called 'love' itself means establishing a very, very close relationship with the person you like."
I don’t know why, but it’s a bit difficult to say it now, even though it’s something I’ve already recognized for a long time.
"So, you can't help but rely on the other person, or want to pester the other person...those are normal things." He also said in a serious tone, "Love comes from the experience of living together and sharing with each other. The joy is constantly generated, and there is no need to forcibly restrain myself to stay calm."
Wayne didn't know if Chris could understand what he meant.
He just wanted to tell her his understanding.
"I'm sorry. Maybe some of my actions have made you misunderstand, but I am really happy to see Chris every day."
——Of course, the same thing happens when you see Song Li.
However, Chris just shook her head and sighed softly.
"Maybe it's because I'm too stingy... The word 'pay' is too heavy for me. Every emotion is eager to get 100% return, otherwise I will be lost for a long time."
After thinking about it, she whispered in a slightly low voice: "This is my problem, I just need some time to adjust myself."
Chris seemed troubled too.
But even so, she was unwilling to communicate anymore.
As a result, Wayne was finally kicked out of the study by her.
"Huh~" Looking back at Chris's closed door sadly, Wayne let out a sigh of relief.
Although she kept saying that she wanted to adjust... or get used to it, in Wayne's eyes, it was just an escape.
Did you feel something vaguely?
It is difficult for Wen, a classmate who knows what he is doing, not to be suspicious.
Although these various things made him feel agitated, Wayne still did not forget the serious things about himself.
As the night got darker, he continued to sneak out.
After accidentally overhearing other people chatting, he already knew the locations where the "Pig Man" had appeared several times before.
He thought that as long as he followed these routes a few more times, he would always get some unexpected surprises.
But when he came to the street involved in the case, he suddenly found that the defense force here was several times stronger than before. From time to time, a small team of guards patrolled by, scanning the surrounding environment with very vigilant expressions.
...It seems that there are people in the city guard who think the same as me.
The most direct way was thus eliminated, and Wayne had no choice but to continue his previous plan, using his powerful perception ability to conduct carpet-based investigations in the crisscrossing streets and alleys of the royal capital.
In addition, you must deliberately avoid the routes of patrolling guards to avoid getting into trouble for yourself.
In the royal capital, there are not only broad avenues that extend in all directions and can accommodate six carriages passing side by side; there are also numerous alleys filled in inconspicuous corners that are barely passable by people.
Among them, some are illegal buildings that have encroached on the originally planned route, and some have deliberately left a hole in the back door for the convenience of neighbors... The situation of almost every household is very complicated.
While the finances are not sufficient, the kingdom naturally cannot spare the manpower and material resources to clean up these chaotic situations.
So over time, these small details were ignored. Anyway, the big nobles would never wander around in such a place, so naturally they were happy to pretend that the years were peaceful.
But the narrower the alley, the easier it is for me.
Under the moonlight, the magic power released vaguely also had a light blue glow.
Just when Wayne thought he was going to fail again today, an extremely weak fluctuation of magic power came from a secluded alleyway.
If it weren't for Wayne's keen perception, this fluctuation would most likely have been ignored in the blink of an eye.
His face hardened and he leapt towards the dimly lit street.
…
Lina, who is twenty-five years old, is a financial accountant affiliated with the Baptiste Chamber of Commerce.
Although the Baptiste Chamber of Commerce is far from being comparable to the most powerful chambers of commerce in the royal capital, in recent years, with the support of the Wenche family, its development speed can be said to be rapid.
This is actually a very good job for her. Even she feels that it is her honor to be hired by the Baptiste Chamber of Commerce.
If she had any dissatisfaction, it would probably be that her workplace was too far from home.
However, this is his own shortcoming, not the shortcoming of the Baptiste Chamber of Commerce.
She didn't want to spend extra money renting a house near the Chamber of Commerce, nor did she want to miss out on such a generous salary, so she had to travel more and work harder and spend more time commuting to and from get off work.
Fortunately, she had a shortcut and could save herself at least half the time by taking this route.
In order not to affect the judgment of her superiors, she had always lied that her residence was not far from the Chamber of Commerce, and as she diligently left early and returned late every day, no one had ever discovered anything wrong.
But there are exceptions to everything.
Today, the boss of the Chamber of Commerce took the initiative to invite them to a private gathering. As an ordinary employee, Lina did not dare to offend her boss.
Everyone thought she lived very close, so when she tried to leave several times, her colleagues enthusiastically kept her here.
In order to enhance the atmosphere, he even had to take a sip of wine.
Luckily it was just a little bit and she didn't get drunk from it.
Seeing that the time was getting later and later, Lina finally waited until the end of the show. She resolutely refused the proposal of her colleagues to send her home. She almost couldn't wait to get up and leave, for fear that someone would discover her secret.
She actually noticed that as the night was getting darker, there were very few pedestrians staying outside.
But since there was not enough time before the curfew, she just hesitated for a moment and followed her usual route and took a shortcut into the alley.
But this time... she encountered a big problem.
Looking at the pig-faced monster under the night, with half of its face hidden in the darkness, Lina's whole body was so cold that she didn't even dare to breathe.
