After arriving at the hotel, Qiao Nian hid in the room, but she also knew that this was not the solution.

Now that Jiang Ming remembered it, there was no need for her to keep hiding it from him, and she could just take this opportunity to reveal to him the matter of the Space-Time Administration.

He is a character who refuses to suffer, and he may agree to the compensation of the Space-Time Administration and join in.

Now there is no other way but to try.

Thinking about it, Qiao Nian left the hotel room, summoned up her courage, and knocked on the door next door.

After a while, the door was opened.

Jiang Ming should have just taken a shower, his hair is still a little wet, he is wearing a nightgown, his figure is tall and straight, and his exposed chest muscles are tight.

Qiao Nian walked in, sat down on the sofa, and saw Jiang Ming also sat down next to him, and unscrewed a can of beer with one hand.

Seeing her looking at him, he glanced at her and asked, "Want a drink?"

Qiao Nian: "...No need!"

Jiang Ming didn't say anything, he raised his head and took a sip of beer, his Adam's apple rolled and his neck was slender.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Qiao Nian had no choice but to speak first: "I know you probably have a lot of questions now, I can explain it to you, but the explanation will be a bit long."

Jiang Ming glanced at her, and said calmly, "Then let's make a long story short."

Qiao Nian: "..."

Fine.

Since he asked so, Qiao Nian also omitted the part about her car accident, and only told him about her doing the task after being bound by the system.

And she just found out that he would be in the mission world, and after knowing it, she ended the mission and came to him.

The purpose is to persuade him to join the Space-Time Administration.

Although it sounded like a fairy tale, she felt that Muscle Jiang Ming already had the memory of the mission world, so she should believe her words.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Ming, but she really couldn't see what Jiang Ming was thinking, and she couldn't help feeling a little flustered in her heart.

After a while, Jiang Ming said, "Why am I there?"

Qiao Nian: "...Anyway, I'm not playing tricks. As for the reason...you might as well ask yourself."

If he hadn't approached the master to revive her, he wouldn't have been brought into the mission world by her.

If she didn't mention it, he would think of it himself.

She didn't really want to tell him, for fear of adding fuel to the flames, he kindly rescued her, but in the end she was involved in the mission world, and experienced so many heart-wrenching plots of physical abuse, impure big wronged species?

He was afraid that he would be so angry that he would want to strangle her on the spot.

Hearing what she said, Jiang Ming looked at her for a moment, but didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he said in an unusually calm voice, "So, you've been playing with my feelings? It's all just to complete the task?"

Qiao Nian: "..."

Although she knew that he had recovered his memory, she still felt a sense of split when she heard him say that, and it was difficult for her to regard him as the hero who had been with her in those mission worlds.

She couldn't help explaining: "...that's just the world of fiction, I didn't know...you are here too."

Jiang Ming asked back: "If you don't know, you can treat me like that?"

Qiao Nian felt a little guilty: "...the world of novels is different from reality. It is just the world written by the author. Those plots are what they should experience. I am just maintaining the plot. Your existence is an accident. If I knew, then I..."

Jiang Ming interrupted her with a cold face: "I understand what you mean, so your abnormality during this period is just to... let me join the Space-Time Administration?"

"That's right! Look at you, you've already been working for nothing, right? Why don't you take the opportunity to join, and you can get more compensation..." Qiao Nian said hastily.

"I refuse." He said suddenly.

Qiao Nian was taken aback.

He looked at her and repeated: "I'm not interested, so I refuse to join."

"Jiang Ming, are you concerned..." Qiao Nian's heart sank.

Jiang Ming had already stood up, with a cold expression on his face: "You go, don't bother me with this kind of thing."

Qiao Nian: "..."

She had no choice but to go back first.

But...Jiang Ming has already refused, and the things he refused...basically there is no room for turning around.

She could only hope that he was speaking out of anger.

After that night, Qiao Nian clearly noticed the change in Jiang Ming.

Although their relationship was not good before, he still had feelings for her.

Now, his attitude towards her is very polite, which makes people feel very distant, and he hardly talks to her except for business affairs.

It seems that the two are really just the partners of this project, they are business-like and have no personal relationship.

Qiao Nian couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. It seemed that he was really angry this time. He had never been so polite to her before when she had been against him for so many years.

For the first time, she knew that being treated so politely by him would be more heartbreaking than him mocking her.

Qiao Nian thought to wait for a while, maybe he won't be so angry, and then have a good talk with him.

But unexpectedly, after seven days in a row, the project was almost over, and his attitude did not soften in the slightest.

There was a dinner this evening, Qiao Nian and Jiang Ming went together.

At the dinner, he talked and laughed with others, and the atmosphere was not bad.

Qiao Nian felt that he seemed to be in a good mood tonight, maybe it was a good opportunity to talk to him and apologize sincerely.

Wrong is wrong, she is not unable to lower her head.

He can do whatever he wants, as long as it's not too much, then she can bear it.

But after the dinner was over, when she came out of the bathroom, she saw Jiang Ming talking to a collaborator at the dinner. The collaborator smiled flatteringly, and pushed the pretty woman beside him to Jiang Ming.

Qiao Nian was taken aback for a moment. At this time, the assistant had already run over and said that the car had been driven over.

Qiao Nian looked away, stood there for a while, and chose to leave by car instead of going to look for him.

But the scene just now lingered in his mind.

She knows that there are many unspoken rules in the business world, but...Jiang Ming probably...wouldn't accept it, right?

Qiao Nian knew Jiang Ming very well. Although he was not a gentleman, he didn't bother to touch such unspoken rules. He was very principled.

But after she returned to the hotel, Jiang Ming did not return for a long time.

Qiao Nian felt a little uncertain in his heart, Jiang Ming could really... accept that woman, right?

Although this had nothing to do with her, it was inexplicably impossible not to care about it.

She couldn't help but think about what he was doing now, her thoughts were so confused that she couldn't fall asleep.

At one o'clock in the morning, she still didn't fall asleep, so she couldn't help but get up, planning to order supper to divert her attention.

But just when she opened the door, she happened to see Jiang Ming coming from the elevator.

He was still wearing the suit at the dinner, but the tie had been torn off, hanging loosely around his neck, and his walk was a little loose, as if he had been drinking.

She was startled, and Jiang Ming had already seen her, but he didn't speak, and went straight to the door of the room, about to open it and go in.

Qiao Nian couldn't help but call out to him: "Jiang Ming!"

But when he turned his head and met his dark eyes, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

For a long time, she only managed to say: "You...why come back so late?"

After finishing speaking, she felt a little regretful again. It was a bit nosy to ask such a question. If it was the past, he would have laughed at her.

But he might as well laugh at her, after hearing her words, Jiang Ming just said lightly: "Traffic jam."

Qiao Nian choked: "..."

Can this reason be more perfunctory?

Seeing him push open the door, she couldn't help but say a bit rebelliously: "What traffic is stuck at one o'clock in the morning?"

Jiang Ming paused, looked at her, and didn't speak, but Qiao Nian felt his face was a little hot, his eyes seemed to say, does it have something to do with you?

As the door was slammed shut, Qiao Nian couldn't help but take a deep breath.

No, don't be angry.

She seemed to have no reason to be angry.

But it won't work if it goes on like this.

If it wasn't necessary for him to join the administration, she could just let him go.

Qiao Nian went back to his room, and couldn't help but wonder why his current attitude was.

The things she did in the mission world were too much, it's not normal for him not to be angry, but with his character of vengeance, it's not normal for him to treat her coldly like this.

He should have wanted to take revenge on her as soon as he saw her. He was too calm now.

It suddenly occurred to her that he seemed to have particularly emphasized the fact that she was playing with his feelings that night, but he didn't say anything else. Obviously compared to this point, there were many more excessive things in those plots.

But that's what he seemed to care about.

Is it because... does he like her?

Qiao Nian thought, if he wants to get revenge, it will be evened out, and maybe he can calmly talk to her about joining the Space-Time Administration.

She simply couldn't sleep tonight, so she wanted to solve this matter quickly, and it wouldn't hurt to try, what if it succeeded?

So, after one o'clock in the morning, she stood in front of Jiang Ming's room, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ming was still awake, and only said "Enter" in a gentle tone. Qiao Nian pushed the door open, only to find that he hadn't locked the door at all.

Qiao Nian didn't know if he forgot, or...he already guessed that she would come to him?

Is he not so angry anymore?

Qiao Nian walked in and saw him sitting in front of the desk with a notebook in front of him. Although there was not much expression on his face, there was a faint smile in his eyes.

Qiao Nian took a deep breath, afraid that he would not be able to speak later, so he said in a loud voice: "Jiang Ming..."

He looked up at her and raised his hand: "Wait..."

"Let's date."

After she finished speaking, there was silence in the room, Jiang Ming paused and looked at her.

Qiao Nian felt that something was wrong: "What... what did you want to say just now?"

Jiang Ming turned the notebook to her, and said, "My mom wants to chat with you."

She immediately saw Jiang Ming's parents sitting on the sofa in Jiang's living room on the screen, looking at her with shocked and complicated expressions, mixed with a bit of joy.

Qiao Nian choked for a while: "..."

She understood, no wonder Jiang Ming let her in, it turned out it was because he was having a video call with his parents.

Qiao Nian greeted Jiang's parents pretending to be calm, but before he could explain anything, the video was hung up, as if he was afraid of disturbing them.

Qiao Nian: "..."

She looked at Jiang Ming, who no longer had a smile on his face, and was also looking at her quietly.

"What did you just say?" He asked abruptly.

Qiao Nian was embarrassed: "...Didn't you hear everything?"

Jiang Ming stood up and approached her. His eyes were so oppressive that Qiao Nian couldn't help but backed away. It wasn't until her back touched a wall that she realized that there was no way to retreat.

"Do you know what you're talking about?" He looked down at her.

Qiao Nian: "...Aren't you very concerned about me playing with your feelings? Although I didn't mean it, you can get revenge."

Jiang Ming's voice was a bit cold: "What do you mean?"

Qiao Nian didn't know why he didn't seem happy, but she still said slowly under his gaze: "...we're dating, and then...you can dump me."

After listening, Jiang Ming stared at her with dark eyes, then smiled: "What a good idea."

Qiao Nian: "Then..."

In the next second, the smile on Jiang Ming's face disappeared. He looked at her with a cold look in his eyes: "In your eyes, is emotion so contemptible? As long as it can achieve the purpose, you can use it?"

Qiao Nian looked at him incomprehensibly: "But... I just want to calm you down, you don't want to take revenge on me?"

Jiang Ming was silent, looking at her, his eyes were inexplicably uncomfortable, as if someone had seen through him, his tone was emotionless and calm: "Do you think this is okay?" He lowered his eyes, his tone was calm,The words pierced my heart, "You were not like this before."

Qiao Nian was dumbfounded: "..."

Before... how could she remember what she was like before.

She didn't know why Jiang Ming said that, obviously she suggested a way to make him take revenge, but he said such things to her instead, as if he was completely disappointed in her.

She was a little annoyed, and couldn't help asking: "Then just tell me, what exactly do you need to join the Space-Time Administration?"

Jiang Ming looked at her with deep eyes: "Why are you so determined to let me join?"

Qiao Nian was a little angry, but she didn't know why she was angry. She was silent for a moment, then lowered her head, feeling as if she was underestimated by him, and there was some resentment in her voice: "Because if you don't join, then I can't do it so quickly."Get a chance to be resurrected!"

After a moment of silence, Jiang Ming's voice sounded: "What is the chance of resurrection?"

He looked at her, as if thinking of something, his expression had changed, and his breathing became heavy.

Qiao Nian thought he was still suspicious of her, and couldn't help but look up at him: "It means that I'm already dead, in the car accident we met a while ago! At that time, the only one who survived was you!"

Jiang Ming was stunned suddenly, and grabbed her wrist: "How is it possible? Even if you want to force me to agree to join you, there is no need..."

He paused, remembering the tragedy of the car accident, their survival was unbelievable even to the doctor, and even came to watch them.

He let go of her hand and looked at her with dazed eyes.

Qiao Nian rubbed his wrist, he was so strong, she glanced at him: "Now you believe..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was suddenly pulled into his arms by him, and he held her with great strength, as if she would disappear in the next second.

She was taken aback for a moment, and then she heard his voice in her ear: "Does it hurt?"

Didn't expect him to be concerned about this, Qiao Nian was startled for a moment, it was just a common concern, but Qiao Nian felt a little hot in his eyes, a little wronged for no reason, and a little absurd.

I'm afraid she is the only one who can come back to answer the death experience after death.

Qiao Nianyu choked, and said: "It's been so long, I forgot."

Jiang Ming was silent, and after a long time, he said: "So, I didn't protect you well, which caused you to become like this, right?"

Qiao Nian was stunned, feeling that these words were a bit strange, how did it turn out like this?

"This has nothing to do with you..."

"How can it be okay?" Jiang Ming looked down at her, caressed her face with his slender fingers, lowered his head and kissed her lips, his eyes were deep, "I like you, you know that, don't you?"

Qiao Nian: "..."

For a moment, she didn't know whether to say she knew or not, so she just looked away.

However, Jiang Ming raised her chin and forced her to look at him. He said in a cold tone, "Now tell me everything you know about the Space-Time Administration."

Qiao Nian looked at him in surprise, and couldn't help showing a smile: "You agreed?"

But Jiang Ming sneered: "It's a settlement! The Space-Time Management Bureau lured ignorant girls to do things for them. Of course, this account must be settled properly!"

Qiao Nian's smile froze: "...?"

How can this make the Administration look like a gang of human traffickers!
