Xi Zirui grows a little less tense every second that goes by without him hearing the sound of tires skidding over the gravel driveway.
Su Xueyi, on the other hand, only grows more antsy. He looks out the windows constantly and checks the time on both his phone and his watch every five minutes.
Xi Zirui doesn't want to gloat, but perhaps, unlikely as it is, Han Yu got his message.
"I think they aren't coming Host!" Ni Ni announces excitedly, after Su Xueyi's third turn around the living room.
Of course this only solves part of Xi Zirui's problem, which is to keep Han Yu and Bai Mi out of danger for now.
It still doesn't get him out of Su Xueyi's clutches, puts him behind bars, or maxes out his favor.
Xi Zirui has an idea, but he doesn't like it. He sincerely hopes it doesn't come to that.
Just in case, he needs to check with Ni Ni if the sleeping drought he used in the previous world is still in his inventory.
