The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window and fell across Jilin's face.
Today he had planned to visit the time period when Sun Wukong became an apprentice, to see if he could learn some spells or the like, but Jilin was astonished to find that no matter which time period he selected, he was unable to enter. Only time and space after the modern era could be traveled through normally.
This phenomenon plunged Jilin into deep thought: "Could it be that my future self has been staying in the past all along?" He furrowed his brow, his heart filled with doubt.
After Jilin returned to his original time period, not long passed before he suddenly heard an alarm sound emitted by Huan'er. His expression turned solemn.
As it turned out, Helan had been kidnapped!
Generally speaking, whenever Jilin was together with Yellow Eyebrows and the others, he would put Huan'er away into the System Space; whereas when he was alone, he would have Huan'er transform into her human form to accompany him by his side, while simultaneously monitoring the various important characters within the plot. This time, Huan'er sounding the alarm meant the situation was extremely critical.
Upon receiving the news, Jilin didn't hesitate for a moment as he transformed into digital information and rushed to the scene of the incident at top speed.
Upon reaching his destination, he discovered that Helan was being held hostage by two kidnappers. Seeing this, Jilin flashed and instantly appeared right in front of the kidnappers, immediately unleashing a flurry of combo attacks that fell upon the kidnappers like a violent storm.
The kidnappers didn't even have time to react before they were beaten flat onto the ground, unable to move a muscle. Jilin successfully rescued Helan, and she looked at Jilin with gratitude, tears shimmering in her eyes. Jilin comforted her, saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
With that, Jilin looked at Helan, and the two of them locked gazes. Looking at the eyes full of affection from Helan, Jilin didn't even know what to say anymore.
Having been captivated by Jilin's appearance at the police station last time, and now being rescued by a hero once again, Helan fell completely head over heels for Jilin at first sight. Because Helan hadn't managed to call the police before Jilin rescued her this time, Lu Xiaoqian was completely out of the picture.
Subsequently, Jilin escorted Helan safely back home. Along the way, Helan curiously asked Jilin why he had happened to appear in that place.
Jilin replied that he had originally just been passing by the downstairs of their company when he accidentally caught a glimpse of her being held hostage by two ill-intentioned individuals, so he had secretly followed them.
Upon arriving at the front door, Helan warmly invited Jilin inside to sit for a while, handed him a glass of water, and the two began to chat idly. Not long after, Chuchu and You Suowei also hurried over.
As it turned out, Helan had sent a text message to Chuchu along the way explaining her situation, and Chuchu had rushed right over, conveniently bringing You Suowei along with her.
Then, Jilin made a suggestion: "How about the four of us go out and grab a bite to eat together?"
At this moment, Chuchu noticed the tender, affectionate look in Helan's eyes as she gazed at Jilin, and deep down she understood that her Sister He had already grown deeply enamored with Jilin.
She thought to herself: Perhaps You Suowei and I could give it a try as well. With that, she decided not to disturb them, and pulling You Suowei along, she turned and left.
At that moment, only Jilin and Helan were left in the entire house. Since Jilin happened to have nothing on his hands, he stayed behind to keep Helan company and chat. Afterward, Helan proposed cooking a meal herself to treat Jilin to some delicious food, and Jilin readily agreed.
They went together to the supermarket to purchase ingredients, and after returning home, Helan busied herself in the kitchen while Jilin lent a hand nearby.
Soon, dish after dish of mouth-watering food with pleasing colors and aromas was laid out on the dining table. Helan smiled and suggested that the two of them share a little drink, and Jilin happily agreed.
At the dining table, Jilin looked into Helan's eyes, which seemed as though they might devour him whole, and a ripple of emotion stirred within his heart.
He couldn't help but think of Wang Yuyan from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils; compared to her cute and touching image, a mature woman like Helan possessed an even greater attraction. Every movement of hers, every smile and frown, was fraught with a fatal temptation that set one's heart racing with longing.
At that moment, a phrase suddenly popped into Jilin's mind: "The women down the mountain are tigers." However, when he saw the blazing gaze in Helan's eyes,
he immediately changed his mind: "Where is this a tiger? This is clearly a starving wolf!"
He had to admit, when you're young you don't appreciate the charm of a mature woman, mistaking a young girl for a treasure. Now, facing such proactive and passionate attention from Helan, Jilin instead appeared somewhat shy, just like a bashful little boy.
In truth, for a woman who truly loves a certain man, there is no such thing as putting on false airs of reserve.
On the contrary, they will show their affection without the slightest concealment, and may even become extraordinarily proactive. Especially a woman like Helan, who knew better than anyone how to display her unique charm.
Naturally, Jilin was no ascetic Sage. Confronted with such an intense emotional offensive from Helan, he began to reciprocate her passion.
The affection between the two of them steadily heated up, and everything happened quite naturally...
After a night of romance, they spent a wonderful period of time together.
Early the next morning, as the sun had just risen, Jilin slowly opened his eyes. He turned his head and saw Helan holding him tightly in her arms, one of her arms resting across his chest, and one of her legs draped over his waist.Jilin gently moved her hands and legs away, then sat up and rubbed his somewhat aching waist. Remembering Helan's wild, wolf-like frenzy from the previous night, he couldn't help but marvel that this woman seemed to have no concept of fatigue.
As Jilin recalled the passionate scenes of last night, he shook his head with a sigh.
He had to admit that despite his strong physique, he still found it a bit much to handle when faced with such a blazing, fiery Helan.
Looking at Helan, who was still fast asleep, a smile touched the corners of Jilin's lips. Her peaceful sleeping face was as pure as an angel's, making one instinctively want to draw close. Not having the heart to wake her, he decided to slip quietly out of bed and go buy some breakfast.
When Jilin returned to the room with the breakfast he had bought, he found that Helan had already woken up and was sitting by the edge of the bed with a trace of melancholy on her face. Jilin walked over, sat down on the bed, gently stroked her cheek, and asked tenderly, "What's wrong? Who's been bullying our dear Miss Helan?"
Helan looked up at Jilin, a flash of grievance crossing her eyes. "I... I thought you had left."
Hearing this, Jilin couldn't help laughing. "How could that be? How could I ever bear to leave such a breathtaking beauty? I just stepped out for a moment to get some breakfast.""After all, somebody was so wild last night and wore me out completely. I need to eat something to regain my energy." With that, Jilin raised the breakfast in his hand and waved it at Helan.
"Oh, you..." Helan threw the cushion in her hand at Jilin.
Seeing this, Jilin hurried away, urging Helan to get up quickly and have her breakfast.
Watching Jilin run off, Helan touched her slightly flushed cheeks and couldn't help recalling her own wildness from the previous night. Shyly, she pulled the quilt right over her head.
As Jilin sat at the dining table drinking soy milk, he was momentarily dazed at the sight of Helan, who had just washed up and was now wearing a silk jumpsuit pajama.
Just then, the doorbell rang. When Jilin opened the door, he found Chuchu standing outside.
Chuchu looked puzzled to see Jilin there. "Jilin, why are you at Sister He's place so early in the morning?"
Once she stepped inside and saw Helan in her pajamas along with the lavish breakfast on the table, Chuchu understood everything in an instant.
"Well, well, you two..." Chuchu pointed her finger at them, acting as if she had discovered some earth-shattering secret.
Having seen Helan's behavior yesterday, Chuchu knew the older woman had feelings for Jilin, but she never expected the two of them to move so fast. After teasing the couple, Chuchu remembered the important business that had brought her there.Lu Xiaoqian was severely injured and hospitalized. Hearing the news, Jilin couldn't help feeling a pang of disappointment at having missed a major battle. He quickly rushed to the hospital accompanied by Chuchu and Helan.
Looking at Lu Xiaoqian lying on the hospital bed, Jilin clicked his tongue in amazement; his injuries were truly severe. Soon after, Pigsy and President Fan also burst in, followed by a chorus of loud wailing and lamenting.
Before long, Pigsy caught sight of Helan standing off to the side. His eyes fixed firmly on her, stirring a sudden ripple of romantic longing in his heart.
Noticing this, Jilin promptly pulled Helan into his embrace. Helan blushed, unaccustomed to being held so intimately in front of so many people.
Seeing this scene, Pigsy felt deeply dejected, then turned his gaze back to the bed where Lu Xiaoqian lay. After some discussion among the group, Helan took it upon herself to cover all of Lu Xiaoqian's medical expenses. The group then left the hospital, leaving only Chuchu behind.
After dropping Helan off at her company, Jilin shared a passionate parting kiss with her. Suddenly remembering something, he hurriedly got back into his car and drove toward the villa complex where Yellow Eyebrows lived.
Upon arriving at the villa complex, just as he was about to get out of his car, he saw You Suowei storming over in a rage. Without even exchanging pleasantries with Jilin, You Suowei marched straight inside.
He found Wang Tianba and his two companions washing Yellow Eyebrows' feet and giving him a massage. Enraged to the point of a complete breakdown, You Suowei fiercely kicked Yellow Eyebrows' washbasin sending it flying.
"Whoa, add another legendary scene to the list!" Jilin watched the spectacle from the side, almost tempted to take out his phone and record it.
Wang Tianba immediately lunged forward, trying to grab You Suowei by the throat, but Jilin casually gave his arm a twist, causing Wang Tianba to cry out in pain.
Having witnessed Jilin's formidable combat strength earlier, Wang Tianba and the other two didn't dare to act out of line and instead turned to look at Yellow Eyebrows.
You Suowei then began questioning Yellow Eyebrows, arguing fiercely with him. Jilin casually lit a cigarette and watched their debate with great amusement.
Yellow Eyebrows, looking equally agitated, retorted that everything You Suowei did was purely to use him and squeeze out his remaining value.
Jilin offered a few words to mediate between the two, after which Yellow Eyebrows left, taking Wang Tianba and the other two with him.
After they departed, Jilin comforted You Suowei, telling him not to be too upset, and informed him of the Flying Man's current condition. Hearing that the Flying Man was in stable condition, You Suowei let out a long sigh of relief.
After all, You Suowei could be considered a thoroughly decent and upright gentleman. In the original story, his attempt to steal Shaniu stemmed purely from his own desires—after all, who wouldn't be tempted upon seeing such a powerful, high-tech phone?
After saying goodbye to You Suowei, Jilin went to find Helan. After all, a brief parting brings sweet reunion, especially with a woman of Helan's type, whose allure left Jilin craving more and utterly captivated.
