Lin Li had not seen a system quest prompt evoke such a complex facial expression from him in a very long time.
But this time, the system had managed it yet again.
What did it mean by, "your inner heart also yearns to break free from your solitary existence and locate a Dao companion at this very moment," followed by, "publicly or privately, this tribulation must be answered! Why not strike out and investigate its reality!"
The first half was fine, as it was an accurate reflection of his true circumstances, but wasn't the second half being a bit too redundant?
He had his own pace, Lin Li thought, knitting his brows slightly.
From a literal standpoint, this quest should still be fairly easy to understand, which was to go on three blind dates.
However, the five elements quest served as a reminder to Lin Li that all rights of final interpretation ultimately belonged to the system, and Lin Li was currently unsure how the system defined experiencing a single round.
Did it require completing the full process of a one-on-one blind date? Or did it mean participating in an event organized by an agency?
Lin Li's brain began to churn, and after analyzing it for a moment, he reached a preliminary judgment regarding the quest.
If it were the latter, it would be quite simple.
He could just treat it as spending some money to go over, eat some fruit, and watch the entertainment. Holy shit, acting as a front-row audience member for an offline dating show sounded like a lot of fun, and he could even bring the "Three People and One Dog" group along.
But if it were the former, it would be much more complicated, though not entirely impossible to try.
He possessed the power of money.
As for his identity information, he could simply have the agency help him make something up when the time came, otherwise, if the other party heard he was a first-year high school student, who would even willingly look him in the eye? A female public school teacher?
Another reason for not using his real information was that he did not intend to cause trouble for normal people, which meant it was best not to get caught by abnormal people either.
Without a doubt, he himself would be the "trouble."
As someone who purely intended to speedrun to the end for the sake of a quest, if his blind date partner turned out to be an ordinary, normal person who had done nothing wrong, he would essentially be making sport of them.
The unprincipled Lin Li occasionally possessed a bit of decency, so he decided against it.
As for the solution to this point, Lin Li felt the only option was to seek out abnormal demons.
The bro earlier had already mentioned that the current marriage market was teeming with demons, so he could ask the agency to introduce the most difficult to deal with and serve among the resources they possessed.
As matchmaking agencies, they were bound to be familiar with their clients, and combined with the real feedback from members, they would naturally know which individuals were complete freaks.
There would be no psychological burden in torturing freaks, not to mention it would allow him to fail the fastest, complete a blind date cycle, and accomplish the quest.
Furthermore, as long as he made certain guarantees, the agency should be able to cooperate with him much better.
If he truly encountered Acacia demons, it might even trigger some derivative quests.
Killing multiple birds with one stone, it could be described as the stuttering Qin Shi Huang touching an electric wire, win win win win win winning all the way to numbness.
Before today, the only one who could feel happy upon discovering their blind date partner was a public bus was Optimus Prime.
But after today, perhaps there would be one more, Lin Li.
"So that kind of thing actually happens? Too wicked, too wicked! The person who reported the chicken farms to the officers really is an animal, harming others without benefiting themselves, what a bastard!"
Once Lin Li roughly organized his thoughts, he immediately followed the bro's lead to join the flaming.
Although a master only brings you through the door while cultivation relies on the individual, the master was still very important, and since the bro in front of him was a knowledgeable expert on blind dates, it made sense to form a connection.
Bai Bufan was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.
"Yeah, that dog..." Bai Bufan was also preparing to join the flaming, but his left waist suddenly received a punch.
Wait, so only you, Lin Li, are allowed to flame Lin Li, but I, Bai Bufan, am not allowed to flame Lin Li?
Out of respect for Lin Li's fist, Bai Bufan shut his mouth.
"Yeah, an animal to the absolute core. The few bros I know and I have cursed him in secret I don't know how many times," seeing Bai Bufan remain silent, the man continued on his own.
"The reporting dog is like Xu Beihong trying to forcefully imitate Qi Baishi, making a total mess of painting shrimp without knowing anything, and the horse is definitely gone."
Lin Li, Bai Bufan: "(；☉_☉)?"
Wait, what? The aggression is that high? Since you're flaming that harshly, I won't be joining the crowd.
At this point, one had to cite the perfect opening model text from the prompt-based essay My Mother.
Presumably, everyone has a mother.
The two made eye contact and nodded, noting down this line to use on Zhou Baowei later.
"I can't say I agree entirely, my evaluation is that he's a creature who had a mother to give birth to him but no father to raise him," Lin Li merely remarked.
If Lin Li's father knew of this in the underworld, he could also smile with nine fists.
To prevent the party from continuing to flame him, Lin Li hurriedly shifted the topic:
"Bro, how about we exchange contact info? Meeting is fate, and regarding blind dates, I might have some questions I'm interested in that I'd like to ask you."
"Eh? You still need to go on blind dates?" The kind of handsome that even men found handsome was true handsomeness, and the man looked at Lin Li's face with some confusion.
"Although I don't necessarily need it, I took a look just now and found that my friend has zero romantic luck coming his way for the next few decades, so he might need it," Lin Li explained, pointing at Bai Bufan.
Bai Bufan shrugged, completely used to it.
"Bro, you even know fortune-telling and can see the future?" The man grew curious.
He didn't mind getting to know another person, so he had already pulled out his phone when he asked Lin Li the question earlier.
"I can't see the future, but I can see this face, bro, can't you see it?" Lin Li poked Bai Bufan's cheek, gesturing as he spoke.
The man: "?"
So it was that kind of interpretation?
"I truly can't see the future of this face, but in truth, this is equivalent to me having already seen the future of this face," Lin Li supplemented.
Bai Bufan smiled, still smiling.
You absolute beast Lin Li, bro, I support you to keep flaming the reporting dog for a bit longer, I will use everything I've learned to insult him along with you.
However, Bai Bufan said nothing.
After all, this was his best bro, and although he didn't know what the other was trying to do, cooperating was what true brotherly loyalty and chivalrous camaraderie were about.
It also had a tiny bit to do with Lin Li's fist, which was currently acting restless against his waist.
"...It's fine, how could it possibly be that ridiculous," the man took a glance at Bai Bufan, who didn't look anywhere near as ridiculous as Lin Li claimed and was actually quite a clean-cut youth, so he merely smiled, understanding it was nothing more than the extreme verbal aggression between good friends.
The two successfully added each other as friends.
"My name is Sun Ming, the Sun from Sun Wukong, and the Ming from Xiaogui's Aatrox," Sun Ming then introduced himself.
"My name is Bai... Lin Li, the Lin consisting of twin trees, and the Li from Bocchi," Lin Li reciprocated.
自由Bai Bufan: "?"
Sigh, did this bastard want to report his name again?
He was even actively present right now, yet the other didn't hide it at all, what a blatant offense in front of Bai.
Fortunately, he held back at the last second.
In reality, Lin Li mostly took into account that during the performance earlier, the "Three People and One Dog" had called out his name quite a few times, so the party might have overheard it.
Following that, Lin Li also added the staff member's contact information, though he did not initiate a conversation to state his purpose, as this quest was not urgent, and today was definitely not the time to truly consider this.
The most suitable option was still to talk offline at the shop, as the utilization of the power of money was also most appropriate offline.
"How many fucking times have you used my name out there?" Once Lin Li stopped speaking to Sun Ming, Bai Bufan lowered his voice to interrogate him.
Lin Li raised a single finger.
"This means exactly once, right?" Although Bai Bufan had already guessed the answer, he still smiled to deceive himself.
"It means always, of course."
"An absolute beast! A total beast!" Bai Bufan revealed an expression of gnashing teeth that indicated things were exactly as expected, though he quickly grew curious: "But Lin Li, why did you add that? Does someone in your family need it? Isn't your household just you and your mom?"
As Bai Bufan finished speaking, his eyes lit up:
"Wait a minute! Are you looking for a stepfather?! Then can I go on a blind date with your mom? Bro, I truly want to be your dad."
"Get lost," Lin Li laughed and cursed.
"Then who else could it be besides you? Why are you even going on a blind date, I think you're going to kiss someone tonight anyway, yet you're still looking into blind dates," Bai Bufan teased.
"Don't talk nonsense about daydreams that disrupt unity."
However, Bai Bufan was right, the changes in interpersonal relationships a few hours from now were also a factor that needed to be weighed for this quest.
When the time came... Lin Li suddenly smiled.
...
"The afternoon performance ends here, everyone, if you still want more, we will see you at seven in the evening, when there will be new content! Thank you all for watching~"
The second round of the performance lasted nearly an hour, and the viewing experience remained quite good.
It felt like the performance alone was worth a lot of the ticket price, though there was no ticket price for the market gathering.
As the staff from the matchmaking center took turns stepping onto the stage once more, Lin Li and the others had already stood up.
"Before the sky gets dark, you two keep accompanying us to the riverbank to take photos, we just found a pretty great spot earlier, and we can take a few group photos while we're at it," Ding Sihan said to Lin Li and Bai Bufan after walking out of the crowd.
The two naturally had no objections.
Following the three girls, they arrived at the riverbank.
Although people rarely came to the Yudai River on regular days, guardrails were still constructed along the riverbank, and every dozen meters or so, there would be an extended platform with steps leading down to the river.
Of course, this was not to make it convenient for everyone to jump into the river and drown, but was used by the residents of this area to wash clothes in the past.
Now, virtually no one washed clothes that way anymore.
As for the location suitable for taking photos that Ding Sihan mentioned, it was beneath a large tree by the river.
Not far away was the extended platform, and whether the background was the marketplace scene behind them or the murmuring Yudai River in front of them, the resulting photos were indeed quite good.
This time, Ding Sihan had learned to be smart and brought a selfie stick, so the group photo of the five did not require assistance from anyone else.
Click, click, click, click, they also captured satisfactory group photos.
"But, actually, I feel like the effect would definitely be even better if we could take them from the opposite bank," Ding Sihan held the railing, looking toward the opposite side as she spoke, "The opposite side is completely empty scenery, it's a pity there's no bridge here to cross over, a real pity."
Women truly were difficult to satisfy.
"Since you put it that way, I find bridges to be quite warm, they ensure that all rivers are no longer sad," Lin Li evaluated upon hearing this, playing on the homophone for crossing a river and being sad.
Ding Sihan: "..."
That actually made sense.
"Lin Li, then don't you also pride yourself on being a warm man, shouldn't you also make it so this river isn't sad?"
Ding Sihan turned around to question him.
"I'm a warm man, not a warm bridge, let alone a central air conditioner, how could I be warm to just anyone," Lin Li smiled.
"But it would be great if there were a river god in this river, then I'd have a way to cross the river using an invincible warm man method."
"If there's a river god, why would we need you, anyone can pray to a god," Ding Sihan expressed disdain upon hearing this.
"My method isn't praying to a god, but utilizing the god's mechanics, not only will I not pray to him, I might even slay the god, jie-jie-jie-jie."
Lin Li's tone sounded somewhat chuunibyou and arrogant.
"Hm? Explain?" Ding Sihan's appetite was whetted, and Chen Yuying and the others also looked over curiously.
Lin Li turned around first, pointing at a stall: "First, we go to that stall over there and buy a box of Xiangqi, or Chinese chess."
"Then we throw the general piece, or Jiang, from the black pieces into the river, and then cry out while wailing, 'General, my General!' while praying for the river god to manifest. At this moment, the river god will float out and ask me—"
"'Young handsome man, is the one you dropped this golden general...'"
"OK, we're done at this step, because the river god won't be able to continue speaking the words that follow, as the golden general he conjured up has already emitted a dazzling radiance and heat, roasting the entire river dry, and the river god loyally sacrificed his life for it."
"This way, we can cross the river, just walk right across."
As Lin Li spoke, he raised both hands high.
The four fell into silence, leaving only the clamor drifting from the market behind them.
"What kind of golden general is that?!" Finally, Ding Sihan couldn't help but laugh and curse.
No wonder Lin Li said his method was extremely warm, that was very, very warm indeed, playing on the name of the North Korean general.
A slight carelessness would result in a first-degree sunburn.
"Just tell me whether we can cross the river or not."
"Forget it, if we can't cross, we'll just make do with this side and keep taking photos."
The three girls continued their unfinished photography business, and Lin Li approached, also taking a few single or double photos.
He didn't intend to take any more, since under circumstances where they couldn't be more intimate, there were only a few types of poses, so Lin Li let the girls continue playing on their own while he looked for Bai Bufan's figure.
He spotted him leaning against the guardrail and staring at the water's surface.
Lin Li walked forward to lean beside him, lowering his gaze to look down.
He saw nothing at all, only the reflection of himself and Bai Bufan on the water's surface.
"What are you looking at?" Lin Li inquired.
"When you gaze into the abyss—" Bai Bufan spoke profoundly.
"The abyss says you're male-gazing, that you're a product of a patriarchal foot-binding society, low and disgusting, and turning around, the abyss makes a Xiaohongshu post saying, family, who understands," Lin Li said calmly.
"? Cough! Cough!!!"
Bai Bufan: "(；☉_☉)?"
His prepared mental draft was completely blocked, and Lin Li's single line left Bai Bufan entirely at a loss.
"So the abyss thinks I'm male-gazing?" Bai Bufan couldn't keep a straight face.
For Lin Li to be able to say such things, his household truly needed to hire an expert, a total direct insight.
"So you're just being vain?" Lin Li inquired.
"No, I'm looking at the fish," Bai Bufan gestured with his chin, "You made too much noise when you leaned over just now, you scared them all away."
In the light green water, there were indeed quite a few very miniature small fish swimming close to the bank.
This school of small fish was indeed quite sensitive, and merely moving one's head to block the water's surface above them would startle them somewhat.
"Lin Li, do you think the spicy little fish snacks we usually eat are made from these small fish," Bai Bufan asked calmly.
"Probably not, I heard spicy little fish snacks are made from the dead fish that were suffocated to death by smelly feet at fish spa shops," Lin Li answered calmly.
Bai Bufan: "..."
Wait, what?
"I'm never eating them again," Bai Bufan said firmly.
"I forgot to mention, they were suffocated to death by the smelly feet of beautiful girls," Lin Li added gently.
"I'm fucking eating, eating, eating, eating, eating!" Bai Bufan grinned and raised a thumb, "Eating! What I'm eating is spicy little fish snacks! Lin Li, help me ask the manufacturer if they have original flavor ones, don't use the spicy flavor to cover up the taste, it's quite a waste~"
Consistent as always, Lin Li burst into laughter.
As expected of Bai Bufan.
Lin Li suddenly turned around, and Bai Bufan turned his head to look curiously, only to see Lin Li pick up a small wooden stick and then walk down along the steps of the extended platform, his body leaning forward.
Very disappointingly, he did not intend to jump into the river to commit suicide, but began using the small wooden stick to scrape at the golden apple snail eggs attached to the riverbank.
It was already autumn now, so these eggs were grayish-white, meaning they were already dead.
However, after they dried up and died, pressing them with a stick produced a sound that was even crispier than when they were fresh, which was quite stress-relieving.
"Let me play too," Bai Bufan immediately followed him down.
Young boys, after all, could never resist playing with water and playing with fire.
Once they grew up, they simply liked things that had plenty of water and were hot, so it could only be said that everything followed a traceable pattern.
"Ah—"
Hearing Ding Sihan's exclamation, both Lin Li and Bai Bufan raised their heads.
"What's wrong?" The two stood up to return beneath the tree, inquiring simultaneously.
"Nothing, there was a bug on the tree, I wasn't paying attention and just touched it," Ding Sihan clapped her hands with aversion, then feeling that was insufficient, she walked toward the extended platform intending to wash her hands in the river, explaining to the two at the same time.
Lin Li and Bai Bufan approached the edge of the tree.
On the branch, there was indeed an unfamiliar bug whose body color was very similar to the tree bark, making it truly difficult to notice without careful observation.
System? System? This is a demon attack!
Lin Li looked toward the system, but the system behaved like a chaste woman, cold and completely unresponsive.
It wouldn't even give a quest to let him get fifty system currency for free, stingy.
Probably because it was a beneficial insect, though Lin Li didn't recognize it.
"Animals and insects will form protective coloration based on the environment, this is a normal phenomenon," after using the small wooden stick to scrape the bug down, Bai Bufan observed it for a moment and evaluated.
"...No, Bufan, everyone here is a student of Nansang High School, and you're the one with the worst grades, does this even need to be said by you?" Lin Li had thought he would hear some grand discourse, so he expressed aversion upon seeing this.
"To give an example," Bai Bufan spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, "The cotton pest, the Mexican boll weevil, is pitch-black all over, and this protective coloration allows it to move like a fish in water in a cotton field."
Lin Li: "..."
Your mother, Bai Bufan.
All this just to deliver that specific punchline, huh.
"Bufan, then let me test you, do Black people count as pesticide," Lin Li stretched his back, speaking casually.
"Of course they count, applying them can promote the shedding and harvesting of cotton," Bai Bufan understood instantly and nodded, "That's also one of the reasons why I boycott them."
Chen Yuying, Qu Wanqiu: "..."
Going out to play with Lin Li and Bai Bufan made it truly difficult to safeguard one's merit points at times.
Cheat engine, activate.
"Chen Yuying" patted "Chen Yuying's" wooden-fish head, merit points +999.
Modifying her own status message, Chen Yuying let out a long sigh of relief.
Turning on the cheating tool increased efficiency a thousand-fold, so her merit points should make it in time to restore.
The Buddha would forgive her.
"Are we still taking photos, Dingzi? The bug has been cleared," looking at Ding Sihan who had returned from washing her hands, Lin Li inquired.
"Forget it, no more photos, let's keep browsing."
"Alright."
...
The night grew deeper.
The most important night arrived.
The surface of the Yudai River sparkled with ripples, the remnants of the evening glow were crushed and scattered, stalls set up warm yellow light bulbs or modern faux lanterns, and the aroma of food became a bit more enticing than it had been during the day.
The five individuals, having finished the photography segment, continued to walk along the route planned for the marketplace, leisurely and slowly.
"Holy shit, did the owner show this rice an adult movie? Why is it so hard?"
Lin Li gnawed on the chicken wing stuffed with rice in his hand, biting into the rock-hard rice as he knit his brows.
"Give it some alcohol, that way it'll say, 'The condition isn't too good today, going to sleep first,'" Bai Bufan offered a suggestion.
Lin Li thought about it, holding his chicken wing to shake it in front of Bai Bufan while making the sound effect "biubiubiu," before nodding with satisfaction: "It's fine, letting it just shoot it out works just the same, it should be soft now."
Bai Bufan looked at the salad dressing on his grilled cold noodles and fell into silence.
Wait, what?
Your mother!
The visitors to the marketplace did not decrease due to the arrival of the night, on the contrary, the people coming to the marketplace to play at this moment were actually more numerous, perhaps because those who had to work and be busy even on weekends finally obtained some free time.
Although it was not yet crowded to the point of shoulders rubbing against each other, it could still be considered bustling, with an endless flow of people.
For the trio of girls, under the current crowded circumstances, it became very difficult to maintain the single-file wall formation to advance.
After all, everyone generally defaulted to the idea that two people walking side-by-side was reasonable and normal, but three people side-by-side blocked the path somewhat.
From time to time, phrases like 'Excuse me, let me through' or 'Passing through, passing through' could be heard, and the person on the outermost edge would need to step aside.
Lin Li thought about it and pulled out his phone.
Lin Li: Among the two of you, you and Qu Wanqiu, two people appear completely extraneous right now, guess who it is.
Ding Sihan: For you to privately send me this message is a bit too much, isn't it?
Lin Li didn't reply further, but raised his head instead.
Ding Sihan looked at her phone, a smile that was difficult to contain appearing on her face.
However, what Lin Li said did make sense.
Since the agreed night had arrived, it was indeed time for them to beat it.
Lin Li merely saw Ding Sihan turn off her phone screen, hold it in her hand, and begin to scan the stalls on both sides.
Searching, searching.
"Eh, let's go over there and take a look~" Ding Sihan's eyes lit up.
Found it! The suitable excuse she needed!
Following her gaze, it was quite easy for Lin Li to lock onto this target, a dome-shaped stall stood quietly by the riverbank, deep purple curtains completely enclosed the stall, but through the internal and external lights, the contours of shadows inside could be seen.
The stars, moon, and crystal ball embroidered with gold thread, along with the two characters for "Divination" on the curtain, all spoke of its identity, a divination house.
Whether in terms of color or style, it appeared exceptionally striking within the marketplace.
However, there weren't many people at the entrance.
Although theoretically speaking, a metaphysical stall appearing in this kind of traditional market should be fortune-telling rather than divination.
But while that might have been the case a few years ago, there was truly no need to be surprised by any shop seen on the market now, walking and stopping along the way, they could even see quite a few content creators conducting live streams, though of course, the vast majority were unknown and hadn't successfully launched their accounts yet.
"Let's go."
Since someone was interested, the others followed along to take a look.
"Wait for me a moment," upon arriving outside the divination house, Ding Sihan walked in alone to consult for a bit.
Before long, she walked out again and asked everyone: "Are you guys interested in divination?"
"A bit interested," Qu Wanqiu, who had already received Ding Sihan's whisper, nodded.
"Not interested," Lin Li and Bai Bufan shook their heads and spoke simultaneously.
Lin Li took a glance at Bai Bufan.
The "human" was self-aware, the "dog" was not self-aware, the "human" was good, the "dog" was bad.
And seeing Lin Li shake his head, Chen Yuying pursed her lips, and seeing that Ding Sihan did not look at her with expectant eyes either, she immediately shook her head as well.
"That's perfect then," Ding Sihan clapped her hands together lightly, "There are actually only two extra seats inside, I want to go get a reading, Wanqiu you come accompany me, and you can try it too in a bit."
"Sure," Qu Wanqiu nodded.
"As for you guys..."
"Then we'll wait for you outside?" Appreciating Ding Sihan's tactfulness, Lin Li acted as the straight man to pick up the line.
"That works too," Ding Sihan nodded.
Lin Li: "(；☉_☉)?"
"Just kidding," seeing the instant Lin Li's face froze, Ding Sihan smiled with satisfaction, then changed her tune:
"I asked just now, a single complete divination takes about half an hour, so it'll take an hour for me and Wanqiu, what's there for you guys to wait for, stand at attention for the whole evening?
The three of you go ahead and keep browsing first, once the two of us are done playing, we'll find you to gather."
"OK," Lin Li resolutely refused to be polite this time, so he nodded directly, then looked at Chen Yuying: "Class Monitor, what do you think?"
"Um... alright," after a soft murmur, Chen Yuying also nodded.
"Then we'll split into two paths, see you later!"
Ding Sihan waved her hand, "impatiently" pulling Qu Wanqiu into the divination house.
The three looked at each other and continued to walk forward.
"Excuse me, let me through."
They walked for about a minute.
Lin Li discovered one thing.
Right now, Chen Yuying was on his left and Bai Bufan was on his right, so wasn't that still a path-blocking trio?
The mere thought that he was causing trouble for others made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, his noble and great character absolutely forbade him from doing so.
Therefore, Lin Li turned his head, smiling as he gazed at Bai Bufan who was still eating grilled cold noodles, coughing heavily twice as he questioned this silly dog who seemed to have forgotten something:
"Bufan, you ate so many miscellaneous things today, do you think your stomach should start to hurt now?"
Bai Bufan: "!"
Holy shit, he forgot, he should have been interested in divination just now!
There was still a chance for damage control!
"Hiss—don't say it, Lin Li, you really shouldn't say it!" Bai Bufan's body curled slightly, using his elbow to press against his stomach as he inhaled a sharp breath of cold air:
"After eating the extra ingredients you gave me just now, my stomach suddenly has a bit of cramping pain, damn it, I'm already about to break down to the point of being unable to persist further, I must go to the restroom right now, I personally enjoy using the restroom, it roughly starts at an hour minimum, so I'll find you guys later, bye-bye!!"
The moment the words fell, Bai Bufan pulled a pack of Stride gum from his pocket, placed it in Lin Li's pocket, and then turned to leave.
As for whether squatting for an hour would lead to hemorrhoids, it wasn't a big deal, ambition did not depend on old age while hemorrhoids did not depend on young age, Bai Bufan felt his buttocks would definitely be red across half the sky.
"There's really nothing that can be done about him, being so careless with his own body," watching Bai Bufan leave with satisfaction, Lin Li subsequently let out a "heavy" sigh.
"Pfft—"
Chen Yuying suddenly pressed the back of her hand against her lower lip, a light and clear laugh spilling from between her fingers, her shoulders shaking slightly as a result, her lowered eyelashes trembling slightly to conceal her eyes which were curved into crescent moon shapes, a trace of bashfulness hidden within the mirth.
"What are you laughing at?" Lin Li looked at her, inquiring cheerfully.
"No, I'm not laughing~" Chen Yuying lied with a smile.
There was no way not to laugh.
The dialogue between those two just now wasn't natural at all, how could an excuse be found that way, the performance was so clumsy.
Chen Yuying couldn't help but look back.
Sure enough, Bai Bufan, who had just been experiencing cramping stomach pain and was on the verge of breaking down, was currently leisurely holding his grilled cold noodles, looking at the stalls on the left and browsing the stalls on the right.
However, it was quite good.
Chen Yuying's steps couldn't help but grow a bit lighter, and her mood was also somewhat joyful.
After all... when the three of them were walking together earlier without speaking, she was also thinking that it would be great if Bai Bufan could accidentally drop dead for an evening.
Her wish had come true.
(End of Chapter)
