Could it be that... I like her?
"Do you know who it is?" Asuna put aside her chaotic thoughts and asked.
"Just go and take a look and you'll find out."
Lin Ye pointed in the direction of the basement.
The two men left the reception room and walked over. After a while, they saw the blonde lady Aggie Carter walking into the hall with a gloomy face.
When she saw the two of them, her eyes flashed with surprise.
"Miss Carter, are you just coming up from the basement?"
Lin Ye asked in a puzzled tone,
"Ah."
The blonde lady stared at Lin Ye, as if she wanted to see something from Lin Ye's expression.
"Do you need help?"
"help?"
"Isn't the basement generally where rich people store their fine wine? Doesn't Miss Carter want to move the wine out of the basement?"
"No."
"What a shame. I thought I could taste some of Miss Carter's fine wines."
"..."
She looked at Lin Ye and continued, "Mr. Ling seems to be very interested in the basement?"
"Miss Carter, I am really interested. Could you take me to the basement to have a look? Satisfy my curiosity."
"Sorry, you are not allowed to enter the basement without my father's permission. If you want to go to the basement, please wait until my father returns."
"Pity."
Lin Ye shrugged, "Looks like I can't go to the basement."
"If father comes back and gives his permission," Ai Qi said calmly.
"Ugh!"
The blonde lady walked up to Lin Ye and stretched out her hand to him, "Give it to me!"
"Ok?"
Lin Ye hesitantly placed his hand in the hand of the blonde lady.
The scene was silent.
Not only Asuna was confused, even the person involved, Aggie Carter, was confused.
"Don't you want my hand?"
"key."
"What key?"
"The key to room 204 where the gentleman is staying overnight,"
"This...isn't appropriate!"
"Ok?"
"Ms. Asuna and I share a room. It's not really appropriate for Ms. Carter to visit in the evening."
Ai Qi: ???
Asuna was stunned when she heard this, but she knew that the blonde lady had already suspected Lin Ye, and she started to test and confirm directly, which was just a matter of time before she broke up with him.
"Give me!"
"Fine!"
Lin Ye took the key out of his pocket and handed it to the blonde lady.
Asuna remained calm, but she was getting nervous inside and her heartbeat quickened.
You should know that Lin Ye exchanged the key of the guest room with the key of the basement. This key was the wrong basement key that Lin Ye exchanged.
The blonde lady took the key and immediately walked down the stairs to the second floor, where she happened to meet Leng Shuang who was coming downstairs. Leng Shuang heard the noise at the stairs on the second floor and realized something had happened.
The blonde lady did not appear on the first floor via the staircase.
It was obvious that he had noticed something and was suspicious of something.
"what happened?"
"Miss Carter seems to me..."
But Aiki Carter looked at Lin Ye coldly, which made Lin Ye stop talking.
She came to room 204 on the second floor and inserted the key she received from Lin Ye into the door lock.
‘Click…’
Room 204 is open.
The blonde lady was stunned and her expression changed slightly.
It’s not Lin Ye’s key, it’s someone else’s key.
She asked Leng Shuang and opened room 202, then went directly to the kitchen to ask for room 203, but the result was the same, three keys opened three rooms.
She has realized the problem.
The keys were changed.
But when exactly?
The blonde lady thought of the time when she asked for the key and Lin Ye held her hand.
Only then would Lin Ye be likely to take action.
Aiki Carter stared at Lin Ye for a long time without saying a word.
"Guest, it's almost evening, go have dinner early!"
Aggie Carter found a new topic,
"Of course, but I would prefer to dine with Miss Carter."
"There will be a chance,"
The blonde lady said this and left.
After she left for a while, Leng Shuang closed the door and asked, "What happened?"
"That young lady suspected that we stole the key to the basement, but she didn't confirm that we stole it."
According to what the maid said just now, if we have evidence of their theft, we can drive them away.
This is probably another hidden rule of this villa.
"Why did you give her the key to room 204? Didn't you say you exchanged your own key for the key to the basement? You... lied to us?"
This was Leng Shuang’s first thought.
This reminded Asuna, and she immediately understood that if Lin Ye had lied to them from the beginning, then it also explained why the key could not open the door of the basement.
Don't trust them? Think there's a spy among them?
"I didn't lie to you. Why would I lie to you? I found an opportunity to get it back."
With fifteen seconds of time stop, it is actually a bit difficult to rush from the first floor to the fourth floor and then return, but it can still be done if you try your best.
But when Lin Ye was about to take action, he suddenly thought of something - the blonde lady suspected that he had exchanged the key, so would the key placed in the maid's room still be in the maid's room on the fourth floor?
Thinking of this, he immediately used his perspective and saw the key that the young lady was carrying.
The next step is simple.
When Aggie Carter reached the second floor and prepared to open the door of Room 204, he immediately used time stop, took out the key she was carrying and unlocked it first. After making sure there was no problem, he swapped the positions of the two keys.
If the key the young lady carries with her is not the key to Room 204, he will rush to the fourth floor to get the spare key to Room 204 from the maid's room to exchange the key.
This is how he copes.
“It involves skills.”
Lin Ye's words left both of them silent, and neither of them took the initiative to ask further questions.
"Asuna, take out your rapier!"
"Uh! Okay."
At Lin Ye's request, Asuna took out her weapon.
"I'm going to hold your left hand, please pay attention."
"Ah."
Lin Ye stretched out his left hand and held the girl's left hand.
But the next second, there was a Western rapier in Lin Ye's right hand, which was the rapier that Asuna was holding.
Asuna opened her eyes and watched, still not recovering from the scene. As a participant in the experience, she had no idea when her weapon was taken away.
"Theft skills..."
"Ah."
Lin Ye responded.
"How do you know for sure that the key is with the young lady?"
"She already suspected us, why doesn't she carry the key with her? I would definitely carry it with me, it's safer."
Both women nodded, accepting the explanation.
"Did you find anything in the basement?"
"The key is fake, the real basement key is hidden,"
Lin Ye pursed his lips and continued, "There is something wrong with that young lady. She is targeting us."
Isn't it normal for Aggie Carter to target them?
As the key figure in this copy, shouldn't she target players like them?
Lin Ye thought about it and decided to wait until he had the key evidence before telling them!
"Let's go eat!"
It's time.
It's time to eat.
Dinner on the second day,
The passerby changed his attitude from the first night and ate a lot, fearing that if he didn't eat enough, he would be hungry again tonight.
"Brother Ling, no, Brother Ling, tonight..."
"I have no interest in men,"
"No! It's not good for a man and a woman to sleep in the same room. Why don't you stay with me?"
The passerby pleaded with Lin Ye without caring about his dignity, but Lin Ye remained unmoved. No matter how much the passerby talked, he would never agree to sleep in the same room with the passerby.
Leng Shuang said, "Don't worry about the number of people. The maid now thinks you are alone, so it doesn't count as violating her reminder if you sleep in a room by yourself tonight."
That being said, passers-by do not feel at ease.
"Speaking of this, there is one thing I need to say."
Lin Ye's words attracted everyone's attention.
"Remember what the eldest lady said to me when she went to the fourth floor to block me and I met you on the third floor?"
Asuna and the others began to reminisce.
