Accidentally Choosing the Strongest Alpha in the Galaxy on a Blind Date
When Ji Anli used Lin Jing’s hand to press the button, he didn’t have high hopes.
He just felt that his luck today was neither good nor bad, and it didn’t matter if Lin Jing couldn’t draw anything significant.
After all, he himself had drawn four times in a row and only once got what he wanted to know which wasn’t a big deal.
The reason he let Lin Jing try was because of a saying: when things reach an extreme, they can only reverse.
Previously, Lin Jing had been poisoned, attacked, and injured and then there was the later death calamity.
In the book, at this point, Lin Jing was already a non-existent character so unlucky that he even lost his life.
Didn’t that just prove the saying?
So, since they were a couple who drew didn’t matter.
But when the card was revealed, Ji Anli stared at the entire plot on it, stunned, instinctively sitting up straight, his eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.
Who would have thought that just a casual attempt with Lin Jing’s hand would bring him such a big surprise?
Not only was it related to the palace banquet but it was exactly the part he wanted to know about why Yi Ya became Ji Chenhao’s benefactor.
But after reading the plot, Ji Anli’s eyes darkened.
He had thought that the two being like-minded might not be a good thing or that Ji Chenhao’s opportunistic nature led him to deliberately scheme to save Yi Ya or deceive him, making the newly arrived and unfamiliar Yi Ya consider Ji Chenhao a close friend.
Who knew the truth was exchanged with a life.
Yiya was in a complete panic, his eyes red from crying. His hands trembling as he looked at the young man lying there silently.
That person was the little grandson of the Earl’s family.
Had he caused a huge disaster?
He didn’t mean to, really…
He just didn’t want to deal with the guy’s flirting.
Who would have thought that even though the other was an Alpha, he would be so fragile?
Just one push and he fell into the fountain pool.
The water was unexpectedly deep.
Yiya thought the guy was pretending to struggle to trick him into coming over but who knew he was really dead…
No breath, really no breath.
Just as Yiya was in a panic, a figure happened to come out for some fresh air and circled around to this spot.
The person was stunned by the scene, it was Ji Chenhao, who covered his mouth as he looked on.
Ji Anli frowned as he stared at this part of the plot while beside him, Lin Jing’s whole body was tense.
He kept glancing at Ji Anli then at his own hand being held tighter and tighter by the other.
It started with the arm.
When Ji Anli said he wanted to compare their cufflinks, Lin Jing didn’t mind.
But how did it suddenly turn into holding hands?
Now, Ji Anli was almost holding both of his hands tightly.
Lin Jing could even feel the heat from Ji Anli’s palm transferring to him, making his whole body tense and at a loss.
Should he remind him or not?
Lin Jing was in a dilemma.
If he reminded him, would Ji Anli think he didn’t want him to hold his hand?
But they had agreed to learn to be closer…
But if he didn’t remind him, they were almost at the palace gates.
Would it be inappropriate if someone saw them?
Just as the two little figures in Lin Jing’s mind were fighting, Ji Anli suddenly let go of Lin Jing’s hand, turned his head and asked, “Do you know the Earl’s little grandson? What kind of person is he?”
The heat from Lin Jing’s hand dissipated, the temperature dropped and as he regained his senses, he heard, “What?”
Ji Anli thought of the line in the plot.
Not to mention he didn’t want these two to be involved, especially with a life at stake.
He was so focused on this matter that he didn’t notice Lin Jing’s unusual behavior and repeated the question.
Lin Jing heard it clearly this time, fell silent then quickly returned to normal and answered Ji Anli, “The Earl’s little grandson, Jeff, is eighteen this year. Like you before, he was born without psychic power.
He’s usually very low-key but he’s very favored in the Earl’s family, the old Earl dotes on him. As for his character… I haven’t interacted with him, but his reputation in the noble circle is decent.
Why did you suddenly think to ask about him?”
Ji Anli casually found a reason, “I remembered hearing the name before and got a bit curious.”
He knew Lin Jing wouldn’t ask much and sure enough, Lin Jing responded, clearly not asking more since Ji Anli didn’t elaborate.
“I remember there’s a fountain pool in a corner outside the banquet hall. Is the water there deep?”
Lin Jing looked over in surprise, thought for a moment, and shook his head, “Not very deep, it’s just a fountain, a place for viewing.”
Ji Anli, “Are you sure?”
Lin Jing thought for a moment.
The last time he saw this fountain pool was two years ago when he entered the palace.
Since Ji Anli was asking like this, could it be that he sensed something ominous?
“Two years ago, when I attended a banquet in the palace, the fountain wasn’t deep. But now, after two years, I’m not really sure.”
Ji Anli leaned in a bit closer.
Lin Jing believed his previous excuse so there was no reason not to believe this time.
“Can you secretly have someone check it out? If the pool is a bit deep, could you fill it with pebbles so that if someone falls in, they won’t get hurt?
I just had a sudden image of a fountain in my mind and that ominous feeling came back.”
Having experienced the previous incident, Lin Jing took Ji Anli’s words seriously and agreed, “Alright, I’ll have someone handle it discreetly.”
Ji Anli breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason for keeping it secret was to avoid the possibility that Ji Chenhao, the protagonist, might have luck on his side.
If this opportunity was meant for him, it wouldn’t be good if the earl’s grandson met an untimely end elsewhere.
With that matter settled, Ji Anli remembered Lin Jing’s incredible luck.
After Lin Jing finished sending a message, Ji Anli grinned at him, “I was just thinking about something and didn’t get a good look at your cufflinks. Can I take another look?”
Lin Jing followed Ji Anli’s glowing gaze to his own hand.
The other hadn’t even glanced at the cufflinks so… are you sure you want to see the cufflinks?
As Lin Jing nodded, he watched Ji Anli carefully cradle his hand as if holding a fragile piece of porcelain.
Ji Anli looked ahead but the grip on his fingers was firm.
Ji Anli had just considered that Ji Chenhao was the protagonist of the book and might have luck on his side.
But now, he might have a luck-filled opportunity right next to him.
Lin Jing had just drawn the plot he wanted so what if Lin Jing’s hand could refresh random tasks?
Could it directly bring up high-touch tasks?
Preferably tasks related to the banquet…
Ji Anli’s eyes lit up as he switched to the task interface, staring at the third column of random tasks.
He held Lin Jing’s hand tightly so focused that his face was close to their clasped hands, not noticing Lin Jing’s eyes widening beside him.
Lin Jing’s breathing became lighter as he watched Ji Anli almost bring his hand to his lips.
He… he wouldn’t in broad daylight…
Even though he knew they were the only two in the hovercar, he couldn’t help but quickly glance around.
But the next moment, he saw Ji Anli swiftly jab his hand forward and then let go.
Lin Jing couldn’t quite describe his feelings at that moment… it was complicated.
Ji Anli eagerly looked at the random tasks, hoping for high-touch values!
It had to be high-touch values!
Whether it was his intense wish or Lin Jing’s luck turning into a bug-level existence after surviving a deadly ordeal, when the random tasks refreshed, every single one had high-touch values.
Ji Anli’s breathing lightened but when he saw one of them, his breath caught.
No way
He swallowed nervously, instinctively wanting to click in but hesitated, afraid that it might not be what he thought.
So, he poked Lin Jing’s hand again.
When it opened, it was indeed the familiar banquet hall and the familiar [Love Stronger Than Gold Partner Quest] with an X300 touch value.
Ji Anli was thrilled.
A banquet hall, defending each other once. Defending once is protection, who said defending twice isn’t also count as protection?
In the blink of an eye, with one banquet, wouldn’t he directly get six thousand touch value?
Wow, this was nothing compared to the painstaking effort he put into getting a little bit before.
If he missed this, he’d regret it for a whole year!
Without hesitation, Ji Anli clicked ‘Accept’ and quickly grabbed Lin Jing’s hand to refresh.
When he saw the familiar ‘Love Stronger Than Gold’ appear, Ji Anli quickly clicked in.
Once he confirmed it was the same, he immediately clicked ‘Accept’ again, repeating the process and quickly clicking ‘Accept’ once more.
When he wanted to try again, the system finally realized something was wrong and popped up: “What the hell, host, what are you doing? You, you, you…”
Ji Anli was in such a good mood he wanted to sing: “What, what, what about me?”
The system was on the verge of tears: “You’re going too far! How can you knowingly exploit a bug and fleece the system? And you keep exploiting the same task! This is a bug, it’s wrong! And you’re mimicking me!”
This is too much bullying for the system!
Ji Anli grinned: “Just tell me, didn’t I refresh according to the rules, wasn’t it a random task? Isn’t it just randomly coming up? Look, I clicked accept and it didn’t say I couldn’t accept the task repeatedly, right?”
System: “But you can’t just keep accepting the same task four times! Aren’t you afraid of failing and having everything wiped as punishment?”
Ji Anli decided to quit while he was ahead: “So even if you didn’t show up, I wasn’t planning to continue. After all, getting hit eight times in one banquet hall is pretty exhausting, right?”
The system voiced Ji Anli’s genuine thoughts: “But twelve thousand touch value is really tempting, isn’t it? Host, if you don’t stop grinning so widely, I might believe you.”
You’re smiling so much your mouth can’t close, you know?
Ji Anli: “Hey… how can you think of me like that? What if Ji Chenhao, Wen Zhen, Lin Yu, or someone doesn’t come over and I fail, right?”
System: Do you really believe that?
He thinks that even if those people don’t come for the high touch value, he’d still go out of his way to exploit a bug and provoke them, right?
Ji Anli really did think that way.
After all, the task only mentioned defending and protecting partners.
If the other party said something, he’d immediately bring Lin Jing into the fray, exploit the bug, get the reward and then retaliate.
Either way, he wouldn’t lose out.
But… tonight, everyone present would be his tools to gain touch value.
A few more high touch value tasks like this and Lin Jing’s medicine would be ready…
He originally thought it would take many more days and it would be good enough to hold off the poison’s effects.
Who knew there’d be this unexpected surprise?
If he detoxified early, wouldn’t he be able to prepare for having little ones?
The more Ji Anli thought about it, the more he felt tonight was a wonderful night.
Holding Lin Jing’s hand, he looked up, his eyes shining like never before as if the other was a piece of meat and he flashed a big smile.
His words sent a shiver down Lin Jing’s spine: “You’re really amazing.”
Was this a hand?
It was a source of fortune.
Lin Jing who hadn’t done anything all night, felt a bit creeped out by Ji Anli’s stare, sensing something was off.
