Chapter 213
Jiang Mixue was closest to the entrance and could already hear footsteps outside.
The battle here wouldn’t end anytime soon.
They absolutely could not let Fu Yiming see Yun Youyou fighting that giant tongue.
There was no time to think.
Jiang Mixue could only say hurriedly, “Hold on for now. I’ll come back to help you in a minute.”
As the final word faded, her figure vanished from the restroom.
“President Fu!”
“Wait!”
Fu Yiming was about to open the restroom door when he heard Jiang Mixue’s panicked voice behind him.
He lowered his hand and turned in confusion.
When he saw Jiang Mixue’s face, the corner of his mouth couldn’t help twitching.
“Secretary Jiang… your makeup seems a little heavy today.”
This proved that Fu Yiming was still very much a gentleman.
After all, Jiang Mixue’s face had already crossed into genuinely frightening territory.
It was deathly pale, yet her mouth was as red as a Vampire’s.
Combined with her sweat and the gray streaks running down her face, she looked as though she had just escaped from a morgue.
Jiang Mixue also knew that her current appearance was genuinely terrifying.
But she still had to steel herself and step forward.
“President Fu, you can’t go into the restroom right now.”
Fu Yiming frowned slightly.
“Why not?”
Jiang Mixue racked her brain for an excuse. “Because… the restroom is under repair. You can’t use it right now.”
“But there isn’t any warning sign outside, and I don’t see any repair workers.”
Jiang Mixue’s clumsy excuse couldn’t stop Fu Yiming from entering the restroom.
He gripped the door handle again.
The next second, he would push open the door and walk in on a female ghost versus the Long-tongued Monster.
At that critical moment, Jiang Mixue’s mind went completely blank.
“Wait! Yun Youyou is using the restroom. You can’t go in!”
That statement worked.
Fu Yiming turned. “Yun Youyou? Why is she in the men’s restroom?”
He felt as though he didn’t have enough brain cells to process this.
Jiang Mixue scratched her hair in distress. She could only force herself to say, “Uh… well, Yun Youyou probably prefers the atmosphere in men’s restrooms.”
If Yun Youyou heard that, she would probably lament that her reputation had been ruined again.
Disbelief was written all over Fu Yiming’s handsome face.
His brows drew tightly together, as though he had encountered an earth-shattering dilemma.
“But Yun Youyou seems perfectly normal. She doesn’t look like someone with unusual fetishes.”
After saying enough nonsense, Jiang Mixue actually calmed down.
“That was before! Some people look normal, and then they suddenly become perverts. We can’t stop someone from becoming a pervert, can we?”
Fu Yiming’s normally calm mind suffered an enormous impact.
He opened his mouth, only to close it again.
Jiang Mixue patted her chest.
She had finally fooled him, though she felt a little guilty toward Yun Youyou.
The noise inside the restroom grew louder.
Yun Youyou’s fork had probably struck something by accident, producing metallic clinks that sounded a little like cutlery.
Even though Jiang Mixue immediately coughed loudly to cover it, she couldn’t stop the sound from reaching Fu Yiming’s ears.
“What’s that sound?”
Cutlery?
Fu Yiming listened closely, and his expression suddenly turned strange.
“She isn’t… eating steak in the restroom, is she?”
Jiang Mixue: ……
It really did sound as if someone were eating steak.
It was a perfect excuse, except Yun Youyou would have to bear the reputation of being a pervert.
Jiang Mixue nodded gravely.
“You wouldn’t understand. It’s another one of her hobbies.”
Fu Yiming went rigid on the spot. After a stunned pause, he asked, “Has she been like this for a long time?”
Jiang Mixue nodded again.
“The doctor said she’ll be like this for the rest of her life.”
Both of them fell silent.
At that moment, Yun Youyou also finished her struggle with the Long-tongued Monster.
She tied the Long-tongued Monster’s tongue into a knot and kicked it straight out the window.
“Sorry. I accidentally occupied the restroom.”
Yun Youyou opened the door.
She had just been through an intense battle, so she sounded slightly out of breath.
The first thing Fu Yiming noticed was the cutlery in Yun Youyou’s hand.
So she really had been eating steak in the restroom!
Yun Youyou looked up and immediately noticed something strange about the expressions of the two people in front of her.
Fu Yiming’s gaze was exceptionally complicated. It held rueful emotion, sympathy, and a trace of disbelief.
Yun Youyou: ???
He hadn’t imagined anything strange, had he?
Jiang Mixue’s gaze was much easier to understand.
Her left eye said, “Sorry,” while her right eye said, “I had no choice.”
Yun Youyou didn’t know what Jiang Mixue had said, but it probably wasn’t anything good.
Fu Yiming spent a moment composing his thoughts before saying, “Only now do I realize that you’re actually…”
He truly couldn’t bring himself to say the final word.
Jiang Mixue hurriedly supplied it for him.
“A pervert.”
Fu Yiming looked at Jiang Mixue as though reproaching her for being too blunt.
Yun Youyou calmly slipped the fork into her pocket.
“I’m not a pervert. I’ve simply evolved.”
To avoid hurting Yun Youyou’s feelings, Fu Yiming nodded.
“You’re right. There’s nothing wrong with evolving. If you see enough doctors in the future, you should still be able to devolve.”
Yun Youyou: ……
She wanted to end this strange conversation. “Didn’t you need to use the restroom?”
Fu Yiming glanced toward the restroom.
Yun Youyou had only just eaten steak in there.
Using it now somehow felt disrespectful to the food.
“I suddenly don’t need to anymore.”
Fu Yiming calmly turned and walked back toward his office.
Yun Youyou: ?
Huh?
Why was President Fu acting so strangely?
She turned to Jiang Mixue. “What exactly did you tell him?”
Jiang Mixue said quietly, “I don’t think you want to know.”
Those who listened to good advice ate their fill.
Wisely, Yun Youyou gave up on investigating.
Jiang Mixue used makeup remover to wash the Female Ghost makeup from her face. “It looks like tonight is destined to be another failed mission.”
It was all the fault of that Long-tongued Monster barging into the restroom.
Otherwise, the task would have been completed without a hitch.
Yun Youyou blinked.
“Actually, if all we need to do is scare the Players or make them flee in terror, it should be very easy.”
Rubbing her face, Jiang Mixue asked, “Do you have a good idea?”
Yun Youyou said, “Guess what workers fear most.”
The two looked at each other.
The answer was reflected in their eyes.
Jiang Mixue straightened her clothes and carried a document toward the open-plan workspace.
Several employees were scattered around the room.
Jiang Mixue said, “It’s perfect that you haven’t left yet. I still have some work that needs to be finished. How about…”
At the word work, several employees nearly suffered cardiac arrest from terror.
Not even Yama could make them do one more assignment!
“It’s my dog’s birthday today. I need to get home early.”
“It’s my cat’s birthday today. I need to buy a birthday cake.”
“It’s my neighbor’s birthday today. I need to go beat him up.”
……
In only a few seconds, every employee had fled.
