Rarely, Ji Jue had insomnia.

The high-quality sleep that previously knocked him out the moment he closed his eyes suddenly vanished, and the entire night he had several dreams in fragments, all consisting of predatory scenes from the animal kingdom.

Things like wolves, bears, tigers, leopards, and giant pythons suddenly appeared in front of him, opening their bloody mouths, biting down in an instant, and refining him on the spot.

Ji Jue, the little white rabbit, had never seen such cruel scenes, and was scared awake on the spot.

After being shocked awake several times, he simply got mad and decided not to sleep.

He crawled out of the hotel bed and turned on the desk lamp.

He dug out paper and pen and started writing the paper he had already drafted on the way – "A Brief Discussion on Six Methods of Handling Impurities and Pollution in Spiritual Purification Phase with Blood Sacrifice Weapons"!

Anyway, since sleep wasn't an option, he might as well outpace others.

At least make others lose sleep too!

Besides, it's all about paving the path of his academic journey. Which master doesn't have volumes of works?

Before becoming a craftsman, an apprentice just needs to figure out how to outpace other apprentices to get a human rights certificate. But once becoming a craftsman, you're competing with all the craftsmen in the world.

Let the world feel the pain!

First, let's sprinkle some salt on that senior sister who's still flopping around like a salted fish, haha!

Thinking of Ye Chun rolling on the sofa, crying, Ji Jue couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Until, at seven o'clock, the doorbell suddenly rang.

After opening the door, Ji Jue could no longer laugh.

He was shocked and speechless:

"Why are you here?"

Outside the door, there stood Ye Chun, with a face full of resentment.

Overnight, she had rushed from Cliff City to Tide City, standing before Ji Jue.

For a moment, Ji Jue felt a creepy chill—oh no, could it be that Ye Chun, after being outpaced for so long, developed some sort of salted fish response?

What is this? The autumn wind hasn't blown, yet the cicada is already a prophet?

At this moment, hearing Ji Jue's words, Ye Chun's eyes turned even more dangerous.

"Did you forget that I'm still someone who's held accountable as a general manager's secretary?"

She raised her hand and nonchalantly removed the non-prescription glasses from her face, revealing two nearly unhideable dark circles: "Moreover, before a certain general manager ran off driving, disappearing without a trace, he threw all of his tasks onto me…

And then?

After being busy day and night for so long, he had the nerve to ask me: 'Ye Chun, why are you here?'

Ji Jue, if you had a shred of humanity left in you, you wouldn't bark so loudly, would you?"

"Ah, well…" Ji Jue instantly broke out in cold sweat, chuckling obsequiously: "No, no, isn't this because you worked so hard? Coming all the way here is my fault, my fault!"

"This is Hai Province, not Huang Province. Even by car, Tide City and Cliff City are only about four or five hours apart, what's so hard about it?"

Ye Chun sat down, puzzled as she glanced at his sycophantic expression and suddenly asked, "Are you okay?"

"Ah, nothing, really nothing?"

Ji Jue widened his eyes, innocent.

Thus, Ye Chun's eyebrows furrowed even tighter: "Then why do you keep wiping your mouth?"

"...Dry mouth, dry mouth!" Ji Jue raised his hand, pretending to wipe his mouth corners innocently, seizing the opportunity to pour water while Ye Chun wasn't looking, and trying to secretly hide the paper on the table.

Then he heard a spine-chilling voice from behind him.

"Strange..."

Ye Chun stared at his tense back, full of suspicion: "I always feel something is off with you."

"Huh?"

Ji Jue turned around with difficulty, smiling awkwardly: "What's strange?"

"I've been sitting for five minutes... and you didn't tell me about your glorious experience and great deeds of fighting against four people and breaking through to grab the championship?"

Detective Ye Chun adjusted her non-prescription glasses, the reflection in the lens flashing cold light, sharply detecting the focal point: "What are you hiding?"

"No, nothing!"

Ji Jue forced a laugh, dodging the subject skillfully.

In secret, he was sweating profusely.

Quietly maneuvering Mercury to shove the manuscript deeper into the crevice of his luggage.

Oh no! So preoccupied with being unscrupulous…

If she finds out that I was secretly writing papers to outpace her while she was working herself to death, it's quite possible I'll get fired tomorrow for setting foot in the sound of the tides, right?

Just then, Ye Chun's sharp gaze fell on him, scanning him up and down, and after a long time, she suddenly asked, "You wouldn't perhaps plan on attending the award ceremony later looking like this, would you?"

"Ah?"

Ji Jue stared blankly and scratched his head: "Isn't it okay?"

Ye Chun didn't speak, took out her phone, snapped a photo, then showed it on the screen — messy hair, stubble on his face, a pair of work pants still covered with mud spots that hadn't been washed, and an already faded T-shirt...

"I knew it."

Ye Chun sighed helplessly: "At least keep up your appearance now that you're a factory director on the coast, right?"

As she spoke, she tossed the large box in her hand into his arms.

"Brought especially for you, try it on."

"What's in it, so secretive?"

Ji Jue puzzled, opened the box, and saw a neatly folded complete suit inside, covered with a dustproof bag, paired with custom cufflinks and a tie clip. In addition to two shirts, there were four extra ties and a pair of leather shoes.

With Ji Jue's rough aesthetics and bumpkin habits, he really never studied the difference between thread counts and fabrics, but just by holding the pair of leather shoes and feeling the craftsmanship a little, he knew it wasn't cheap. From shirt to suit, the smoothly flowing fabric was seamlessly sewn, and even when Ji Jue touched it with his hand, he couldn't discern the fine difference between the stitches, the craftsmanship was simply a Divine Transformation.
