Chapter 44.3: Please Transfer 1,000,000 Dollars To My Account (3)

So, after a brief moment of hesitation, he went along with Ji Fanyins script.

Its just a dream. Go back to sleep, he said.

I dreamt that you were unable to move at all, just like back then. Ji Xinxin ignored his words and continued sobbing sorrowfully. Im scared. Im scared that your condition will suddenly deteriorate back to how it was those days. I know that I shouldnt be calling you at this hour, but I cant help myself from worrying about you. I needed to check if youre fine. My heart simply wont calm down until I hear your reassurance

Ji Fanyin replied equally fast too: Tell her that youre the same as always, and tell her once more to return to bed

Li Xiaoxing read her message and did as he was told.

Shell continue talking about the past, but you need to hold yourself back. Dont console her. Dont reminisce with her. Dont make any promisesIf you give her what she wants, shell have no qualms putting you at a lower priority

Li Xiaoxing first saw Ji Fanyins two messages pop up before hearing Ji Xinxin continue reminiscing about the past. 

Its almost as if Ji Fanyin is reading Ji Xinxins mind. 

It was this ability that continuously deepened Li Xiaoxings trust in Ji Fanyin. That was also why the first thing he did upon receiving a call from Ji Xinxin was to contact Ji Fanyin. 

His expectations werent let down. Ji Fanyin handled it perfectly. 

Every single word she told him to speak accurately struck at Ji Xinxins vital spots, dragging her closer and closer into his net. Regardless of the intentions Ji Fanyin had in mind for helping him, the money was definitely well-spent here. 

Back to the call with three listeners.

Ji Xinxin: Do you still remember the time we spent in the hospital? I always snuck out to look for you, but you always ignored me. It made me wonder why someone as good-looking as you had such a nasty temper.

Ji Fanyin: Yawn

It was tough, Li Xiaoxing managed to snap out of his trance and let out a yawn.

Ji Xinxin: Are you exhausted? Sorry, I shouldnt have called you at such a time and disturbed your rest. I know that I shouldnt have allowed my worry to get the best of my rationality, but I simply couldnt control myself

Ji Fanyin: With a cold tone, tell her that you dont mind and urge her to go back to sleep.

There was no need for Li Xiaoxing to feign a cold tone at allthat was his default tone. Its going to be three oclock soon. Hurry up and go to bed.

After such a long tug-o-war over the phone, Ji Xinxin finally unleashed her trump card. She asked, Will you accompany me till I fall asleep, just like how we did when we were younger?

Ji Fanyin sent Li Xiaoxing a cat giving a thumbs up emoji.

Heave a sigh and dont say a wordYoull see results soon

Li Xiaoxing let out a heavy sigh and swallowed the words that were already at the tip of his tongue. 

Ji Xinxin burst into tears. Li Xiaoxing, Im begging you, please tell me what Ive done wrong! We have known each other for so many years. Youre my most treasured friend I dont want to lose you!

Li Xiaoxings attention was hooked by the words most treasured, and it made his blood race in exhilaration. 

Just as Li Xiaoxing was about to succumb and console Ji Xinxin, Ji Fanyins message popped out: Ask her if she means it

Li Xiaoxing paused for a moment there. To his surprise, he actually felt a hint of glee from Ji Fanyins verbal manipulation skill. He deepened his tone and asked, Do you mean it?

Of course! exclaimed Ji Xinxin. Following that, her tone lowered a little, as if she felt aggrieved by his doubt. Do you really need me, a woman, to voice aloud how much you mean to me?

Ji Fanyin: Tell her to meet you tomorrow

Li Xiaoxing did as he was told.

Ji Xinxin agreed to his request amidst sniffles, saying that she would visit him tomorrow morning.

Ji Fanyin: Tell her See you tomorrow and hang up the phone

Li XIaoxing did as he was told yet again.

When he said See you tomorrow, he felt like he could almost see Ji Xinxins flabbergasted expression over the phone. He exhaled deeply and praised Ji Fanyin for the first time, Youre indeed worth the price.

Unfazed by his compliment, Ji Fanyin replied emotionlessly, Prices are rounded up to the nearest hour. The charges are fivefold at this ungodly hour, so please transfer 1,000,000 dollars to my account. Thanks.
