I'm really not the god of time.

Chapter 90: Becoming a "Con artist"

In any case, Zhang Lingyun definitely didn't want to make Xia Youran angry.

If that girl really gets desperate and tries to commit suicide every morning, he'll be trapped in the time loop forever.

Just then, my phone rang.

It was Xia Youran's video call.

Zhang Lingyun's hair stood on end instantly, and he frantically tried to signal Ding Shuangshuang to go back to the next room.

But Ding Shuangshuang wouldn't listen at all, lying on the bed in a starfish position, looking like she'd rather die than submit.

Zhang Lingyun reluctantly answered the video call, gave an awkward laugh, and said:

"Honey, have you eaten?"

Xia Youran nodded:

"I made it myself, but it didn't taste good."

"Then I'll cook you a big meal when I get back."

"Okay, when are you coming back?"

"It will take a few more days; things here are quite troublesome."

Xia Youran nodded and immediately got to the point:

"Is your cousin pretty?"

Zhang Lingyun quickly said:

"I'm nowhere near as good as you."

Xia Youran smiled smugly:

"What a load of nonsense! Where is Ding Shuangshuang?"

Zhang Lingyun glanced at the bed and said:

"She lives next door."

Xia Youran nodded, then tentatively asked:

"Have either of you...?"

Zhang Lingyun quickly made a shushing gesture:

"Can you please stop asking this? Can't you trust me a little?"

Xia Youran seemed to realize her mistake, and licked her lips softly:

"All right."

"That's all for today, I have important business to attend to tomorrow."

Just when Zhang Lingyun thought he had passed the test safely, Xia Youran suddenly said again:

"Stand up, take your phone and walk around the room."

Zhang Lingyun's heart skipped a beat.

I thought to myself, this academic underachiever's IQ only spikes to 250 when he's catching his partner cheating.

If she had put that energy into studying, she would have solved Goldbach's Conjecture long ago.

But under Xia Youran's intense gaze, Zhang Lingyun had no choice.

He slowly stood up.

He reached out and grabbed Ding Shuangshuang's long hair, pulled her off the bed, and pressed her down beneath him.

Then he held the phone up horizontally and carefully turned it 360 degrees, so that he was in a blind spot of the camera.

Xia Youran nodded in satisfaction.

Finally, she smiled brightly and said goodnight to him.

Zhang Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief.

Answering this phone call feels more terrifying and horrifying than facing a billion serial killers!

But when he looked down...

He then realized that Ding Shuangshuang was being forced to kneel beneath him, her pretty face pressed against his crotch.

Finished!

Zhang Lingyun had a feeling that tonight was going to be bad.

***

Just as Zhang Lingyun was facing a major test in her life.

Chen Xiaoya, who lives next door, also received a call from her mother.

Chen's mother asked her with a smile:

"What does your cousin look like?"

Chen Xiaoya answered somewhat shyly:

"He's my cousin."

But Chen's mother immediately emphasized one point:

"They're distant relatives, though we're worlds apart. It's no problem."

Chen Xiaoya bit her lip, and finally answered:

"He's quite handsome."

"Hehe! What about that sex?"

"That's fine too."

Mrs. Chen smiled even more broadly and asked:

"What do you think?"

"What do you mean, 'what'? I'm his cousin."

"A distant relative."

"Anyway, I won't think about that kind of thing; it's too embarrassing."

"Oh dear, you're not getting any younger, it's time to think about settling down."

"I'm still in school."

"When will you ever finish this? As someone who's been there, let me tell you, a high level of education isn't necessarily an advantage for girls."

"So what do you want me to do?"

"You two played together when you were little, and now you're both so outstanding. Why don't you try talking to each other?"

Chen Xiaoya felt her cheeks burning and whispered:

"He probably doesn't think that way."

"Then take the initiative. It's easy for a woman to pursue a man."

"But I have no experience either."

Chen's mother suddenly laughed.

My daughter used to think highly of herself and looked down on everyone.

Today, however, he only used the excuse of lacking experience, which clearly shows that he is already somewhat tempted.

"Listen to your mother, go to his room now and talk to him."

"It's too late now."

"It's not too late at all, it's the perfect time."

Encouraged by her mother, Chen Xiaoya boldly opened the door.

But as soon as she peeked into the hallway, she heard a "click" sound, and the door next door opened.

Zhang Lingyun pushed Ding Shuangshuang out, then locked the door with a "click":

"I'm going to go to bed."

"You idiot!"

Ding Shuangshuang kicked the door hard and stormed back to her room.

Chen Xiaoya awkwardly glimpsed this scene and then listlessly returned to her room.

On the other end of the phone, Mrs. Chen asked in confusion:

"Why are you back so soon?"

There are other women in his room.

"Oh? Why is your cousin still like this? I need to talk to his mother about it."

***

The next morning.

The three of them tacitly agreed to pretend that nothing had happened regarding what happened last night.

After getting ready, Chen Xiaoya was going to the Dongxing Space Science Research Institute for an interview.

Zhang Lingyun and Ding Shuangshuang also went out and arrived at the Dongxing branch of the Golden Rose Society once again.

Zhang Lingyun asked Su Wanqing:

"Has Duan Ying been detained the whole time?"

Su Wanqing replied:

"We locked him in the basement. The guy didn't make a fuss, he just said he wanted to buy his own life with money."

Zhang Lingyun nodded and then asked:

"During this time, did anyone go down to the basement?"

"I didn't pay close attention."

"Then you'd better check the surveillance footage. If someone went down there, then he/she is highly suspicious."

Su Wanqing watched Zhang Lingyun's departing figure.

This young man's manner of speaking and acting shows a maturity far beyond his years.

Zhang Lingyun and Ding Shuangshuang went to the basement.

Zhang Lingyun gave the instructions:

"You stand guard at the door."

Ding Shuangshuang asked with some doubt:

What are you planning to do?

"This Broken Shadow is a [Formal Warlock], quite a talent, we can't just waste him."

"Are you trying to trick him into making a deal?"

"You understand me best."

"I don't think it will be easy. He's definitely wary of you."

Zhang Lingyun nodded and said:

"You're right. My trading spell must make people lower their guard and genuinely believe it's fair."

"So what do you plan to do?"

Zhang Lingyun smiled mysteriously and used something he had obtained through the transaction.

The next second, his body flashed with light, and he transformed into the appearance of a con artist.

At this moment, Zhang Lingyun's appearance is very different from that of the con artist before his death.

After all, he was in high spirits and full of energy, the perfect state for a con artist.

A handsome middle-aged man, dressed in a suit and tuxedo, with gray hair, very defined features, and a charming smile on his lips.

Zhang Lingyun touched his forehead, where there was a lightning bolt scar.

This is proof that God was deceived.

Ding Shuangshuang was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously exclaimed:

"dad."

Zhang Lingyun smiled and stroked her long hair:

"My good daughter."

Ding Shuangshuang realized what was happening and angrily slapped his hand away.

I was thinking, "I let you touch me last night but you wouldn't. Now that you're someone else's dad, you're touching me again. What's going on?"

However, Ding Shuangshuang realized something: no wonder her mother was so infatuated with this man; he was indeed incredibly handsome.
