I'm Jealous Of Myself Everyday (QT)

Chapter 33: I'm Jealous of Myself Every Day

Xie Shuyun nodded. "This is indeed a considerable amount of underhanded work."

With such great sinister deeds, how could he have died so young?

Wei Ye vaguely felt that Xie's parents' deaths were somewhat suspicious. In his memory, they were both quite healthy, yet they suddenly died of an acute illness. Everyone said that Xie Wenxiu had cursed his parents to death, but Wei Ye himself didn't quite believe this explanation.

"Wait a minute, system, I'm clearly playing a strategy game, why do I have to go down the crime-solving and reasoning route?" He felt a headache coming on. "This is too unfriendly to a talent like me who specializes in only one area."

001: [...Which subject are you particularly fond of?]

"I'm good at fighting," Wei Ye said, shaking his fist. "You'll see if you ever come across a world where strength is everything."

001 thought to himself, "Then you've misallocated your skill points. Being good at fighting doesn't help with strategy."

However… it seems that Wei Ye’s strategy skills are already quite impressive. 001, who previously lacked experience in strategy, thought for a moment, and an idea popped into his mind: he was glad that he had encountered Wei Ye before running out of energy and reaching his limit.

Xie Shuyun followed Wei Ye back to his room and this time checked him over very carefully.

Do you often have nightmares?

Wei Ye answered vaguely from behind him, "Not often, maybe twice, I haven't been sleeping well."

Was there anything special in your dream?

Wei Ye found it difficult to speak, "I just felt very heavy, and everything in front of me was very dark..."

“It sounds like sleep paralysis.” Xie Wenxiu didn’t want to reveal his identity, so he was far away and the lingering yin energy in the room didn’t attract Xie Shuyun’s attention. He stopped his probing gaze and looked at Wei Ye, saying, “However, what people usually call sleep paralysis is not caused by ghosts. Sister-in-law is probably just too tired lately.”

He helped Wei Ye put two more advanced talismans by the bedside and emphasized before leaving, "If your sister-in-law encounters any problems, you must come to me."

Wei Ye watched him leave with gratitude, then looked at Xie Wenxiu who floated back after he left, thinking to himself that Xie Xiaosan's skills still needed improvement.

Although Wei Ye was hiding from Xie Junya, he still went to see Xie Junya off the next day when Xie Junya was about to leave.

Xie Junya had clearly just been shot, yet only two days later he was able to mount his horse with renewed vigor, though his brow was slightly furrowed and his expression remained normal.

When he saw Wei Ye walking over, his eyes immediately filled with a smile. "Sister-in-law, thank you for coming to see me off."

Wei Ye nodded, "Second brother, take care of yourself on your long journey."

His indifferent expression made him seem like a stranger. Xie Junya raised an eyebrow and said, "As the younger brother, I have something to say. Please come closer, sister-in-law."

With many eyes watching, Wei Ye couldn't let people speculate that the two were not on good terms, so after hesitating for a moment, he still walked over.

"Sister-in-law..." Xie Junya leaned down to him, his warm breath brushing against his ear. Wei Ye barely managed to suppress the urge to cover his ears. Xie Junya's deep voice gently sounded in his ear: "Wei Wei."
