He was very weak during that time and was completely unconscious. He was shocked to find a 'little monster' crawling into his arms when he woke up the next morning.
The two embraced each other in a very intimate manner, like two people huddling together for warmth on a cold night.
Lin Ye woke up to this situation several times in a row, which made him unable to stop. Don't misunderstand, it wasn't the kind of irresistible attraction between a man and a woman, but rather the feeling of walking a tightrope that made Lin Ye extremely unable to stop. He always felt like he was jumping back and forth on a tightrope, with a bottomless cliff below.
If the giant tortoise were to discover that scene, the man would definitely cut the steel wire beneath its feet with a single stroke.
"Lin Ye, let's go now..."
Erii grabbed Lin Ye's hand and eagerly prepared to walk outside.
"Wait, this airtight door isn't open yet." Lin Ye pointed to the heavy door in front of him, which looked like a vault.
Click.
The words fell.
Erii's beautiful eyes flashed with a pale golden light, and an invisible yet sharp force swept over her, followed by a violent cutting at the handle of the airtight door.
Three seconds later, the airtight door, with a large hole in it, slowly opened.
“Let’s go, Lin Ye.” Erii wrote in her notebook with a smile.
The feeling wasn't like casually slicing open an airtight door that could prevent explosions; it was more like cutting open a piece of chocolate.
Lin Ye's lips twitched a few times as Erii pulled him along the whole way.
As soon as he reached the door, Lin Ye couldn't help but point to the surveillance cameras in the passageway ahead. These were installed to prevent Erii from going out, and if anything unusual was detected, the police would likely be alerted immediately.
No, logically speaking, if this airtight door were cut so badly, these cameras that were working the whole time should have already sounded an alarm.
Bang bang bang.
Just then, the cameras embedded in the white passageway exploded one after another.
"Okay."
Erii tilted her head and smiled.
The girl was in a great mood, as it seemed she was about to skip home and go to Chidorigafuchi to see the cherry blossoms.
Lin Ye realized that his worries were completely unnecessary.
Because he suddenly realized that this wasn't the first time Erii had run away from home, she probably had already destroyed the equipment that could attract Genji's attention. And Erii was quite adept at such acts of vandalism.
"Eri, are you sure it's okay for us to go out like this?" Lin Ye stood at the exit of the passage and couldn't help but look back.
"Doesn't Lin Ye want to go out and play with Erii?" the girl wrote in her notebook.
"Of course I want to."
"Hehe, that's enough."
Erii laughed, a very bright smile.
Lin Ye was stunned.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that Erii's smile had a sly quality to it, as if this runaway was a premeditated plan in the girl's heart.
This time, it wasn't him who kidnapped Erii, but rather Erii who kidnapped him.
……
Three minutes later.
Upon hearing the news, Genjiro stood in the empty secret room, his face dark. The huge LCD TV on the wall was still playing news footage from Chidorigafuchi.
A gentle breeze wafted by, and countless cherry blossoms fell in the sunlight, their intensity as fiery as snow.

"Trying to take a taxi when you have no money? Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you're handsome!"
The taxi driver started the vehicle, grumbling and driving away.
All that was left was Lin Ye, scratching the back of his head with a bitter smile, and Erii, who was staring blankly at him.
After the two ran away from Genji Heavy Industries, in order to avoid being discovered by Genji immediately, they did not take a car directly at the main gate of Genji Heavy Industries. Instead, they took a side path to another side and then took a car away from a relatively secluded place.
Just as Lin Ye hailed a taxi and was about to get in, Erii suddenly remembered something and reminded him in her notebook, "Lin Ye, I... I didn't bring any money with me."
In the girl's mind, you could only get a ride if you paid, and then she looked at Lin Ye longingly.
The latter's smile froze instantly.
Lin Ye was practically dragged out by Erii when he came out. He didn't have time to change his clothes at all. He had been wearing something like a hospital gown, and he only grabbed someone's black trench coat when he was about to come out.
He touched his pockets and found that the pockets of his trench coat were also empty.
Although Lin Ye didn't know whose trench coat it was, as someone from Genji Heavy Industries, he should at least have some money in his pockets. But this trench coat not only had no money in the pockets, but also had a hole in it, which was just too shabby.
Seeing this, the driver immediately understood the reason: taxi fares in Japan are already high, and the driver didn't want the two of them to ride for free.
And that's how the scene at the beginning came about.
"If you don't want to sit, then don't. Maybe there are hidden cameras on the bus, and we might be sent straight back to Genji Heavy Industries halfway through the journey."
Lin Ye found joy even in his suffering.
But now that I think about it, it is indeed possible.
With the immense power of the Snake Clan, they have infiltrated every industry. Moreover, if this clan were to issue a warrant for their arrest, coupled with Kaguya-hime's system assistance, perhaps half of Tokyo would join the search for him and Erii.
"Hmm, that's true. So how do we get to Chidorigafuchi?" Erii nodded obediently, then looked at the boy in front of her with anticipation.
"This one……"
Lin Ye rubbed his chin, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Yes, how should we get there? We have no car and no money. Are we supposed to walk there?
Putting aside the possibility of being tracked down by the people of the giant tortoise along the way, even if they aren't, if they were to walk there on foot, by the time they arrived, it would probably be late at night, when the streetlights would be off and it would be pitch black, so how could they possibly appreciate the cherry blossoms?
"Hey, hey, hey, young man, get out of the way!"
Just as Lin Ye was having a headache, an old man suddenly exclaimed from behind, and the bicycle bell rang incessantly.
Lin Ye turned his head and saw an old man riding a bicycle that looked like an old-fashioned 28-inch bicycle, about to crash into him out of control.
The section of road where Lin Ye was located was downhill, and the old man, whether due to poor eyesight or bad driving skills, had obviously lost control of the car.
However, Lin Ye didn't need to panic about this unexpected event.
He slightly turned his body to avoid the bicycle impact, then reached out and grabbed the back of the bicycle, stopping its momentum. Otherwise, if it had continued straight ahead, there might have been an accident.
"Thank you, young man."
The elderly man with gray hair got out of the car, looking shaken, and thanked Lin Ye profusely.
The latter chuckled and said, "It was nothing, old man. Just be more careful in the future. Riding a bike like that is very dangerous."
"Yes, I will definitely pay attention in the future. Young man, my home is nearby. Why don't you come in for a seat and a cup of tea?" The old man had calmed down and readily invited Lin Ye to join him.
"No need, sir, we still want to go to Chidorigafuchi to see the cherry blossoms," Lin Ye said with a smile, politely declining.
"You two? Young man, you mean with the girl next to you? She must be your girlfriend, she's really beautiful."
The old man's eyesight was indeed failing, and he only just noticed Erii standing next to Lin Ye.
The girl wore a red and white shrine maiden outfit, with delicate features and an ethereal aura, looking like a stunningly beautiful figure from a painting.
Even though the old man's eyesight was failing, a glimmer of light still appeared in his cloudy old eyes when he saw Erii.
The old man looked up at the sky again. "If we arrive at Chidorigafuchi at this time, we should be able to see the cherry blossoms at night. And to appreciate such a beautiful view, it's naturally best to do it with your loved one, otherwise it just won't feel right."
The old man spoke with emotion, thinking of his wife who had passed away three years ago.
I remember that in the last year of her life, the old woman kept saying she wanted to go to Chidorigafuchi to see the cherry blossoms, but the old man was always engrossed in fishing and kept making excuses. Finally, he couldn't stand her nagging anymore and had to go with her once. And it was after that cherry blossom viewing that the old woman passed away less than a month later.
The old man would never forget the morning his wife passed away. The old woman had a contented smile on her lips, a beautiful smile, and she was holding a bouquet of cherry blossoms in her hand, which made her look like a shy young girl.
At that moment, the old man suddenly remembered that when he was young, he often rode his old bicycle to Chidorigafuchi to see the cherry blossoms, talking about his life ambitions and ideals, and vowing to marry the girl he loved most and let her live a life as romantic as cherry blossoms for the rest of her life.
But when he saw the old woman's relieved smile, the old man burst into tears and held her cold body, crying day after day.
Yes, the promises he made to the girl had long been worn away by reality. Even her last wish was something he was forced to compromise on. Now the old woman's body is cold and can no longer be warmed.
From then on, the old man gave up his so-called leisure hobbies and devoted himself to planting cherry blossoms.
He planted a large cherry blossom grove on the outskirts of Tokyo, fulfilling his beloved girl's long-cherished wish to have a cherry blossom forest. She is also buried there. Every year, the cherry blossoms fall and cover the entire cemetery, truly resembling his beloved girl gently applying her makeup.
The old man would sit by the tombstone for a very long time each time before leaving.
He had just returned from the cemetery today and couldn't help but lament that his health was deteriorating year by year. The old man wasn't even sure how many more years he had to live, and even riding a bicycle today felt difficult.
However, his burial plot has already been chosen, right next to that old woman. He couldn't give her the happiness she wanted while he was alive, so he'll serve her in the afterlife.
Seeing Lin Ye and Erii going to Chidorigafuchi to see the cherry blossoms, he was reminded of the past and naturally cheered them on with a face full of emotion.
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up, young man. When I was your age, I was almost a father. Remember, love is something you have to grasp yourself, but don't just talk the talk. If you really want to make a girl happy, it's more important to prove it with your actions."
"Thank you for your guidance, sir."
Faced with the old man's urging, Lin Ye couldn't help but smile wryly and say, "I definitely want to go, but there are no cars available right now."
"A car? What do you need a bicycle for?"
The old man was caught off guard, but he understood the situation the two were currently facing.
He looked at his old bicycle, patted the slightly peeling seat, and said to Lin Ye, "Young man, if you and your girlfriend don't mind, you can take this bicycle and use it. Consider it my way of thanking you."
Lin Ye quickly refused, "Grandpa, you can't do that."
"It's just a beat-up car that's about to reach the end of its life. If it can lead to a beautiful love story in its final moments, then it's definitely a win."
The old man was very domineering; he simply pushed his old bicycle to Lin Ye and then left him to his own devices.
Lin Ye quickly helped the old man up, but seeing the stubborn and obstinate old man, he could only accept it with a wry smile.
"Thank you, old man."
"Thank you, sir," Erii wrote in her notebook.
"Haha, hurry up, don't miss the beautiful night cherry blossoms." The old man urged again.
"Alright, alright, let's go!"
