"What nonsense are you talking?"

Suddenly, Shen Ci shouted loudly, opening his mouth to say something but then closed it.

He kept begging me, "Please stop, I really made a mistake, please..."

His pleading was genuine, but I only felt annoyed.

"Can you shut up? You're really damn noisy!"

After this roar, Shen Ci stared in astonishment, maintaining a shocked expression on his face, as if he couldn't believe what he had heard.

I felt relieved. Indeed, it's best to let out your anger.

It feels great.

In the midst of silence, a soft laughter came from beside me. I turned around, and an NPC took off its disguise, revealing a familiar face in front of me.

"Xie Yun?"

"Hmm," he responded, glancing at Shen Ci, and said to me, "Are you leaving? I'll accompany you."

"Okay."

I turned around without hesitation and followed him. Shen Ci suddenly reacted and rushed forward, pulling Xie Yun away.

"Why the hell are you holding onto my girlfriend?"

"Girlfriend?" Xie Yun raised an eyebrow. "The girlfriend who disregards danger when it comes? "

Shen Ci was speechless.

Su Ran walked over and bumped Xie Yun with her arm. "Hey, Shen Ci didn't mean it. It's not what you think. I was scared too. He has already apologized. Just forgive him, Xiao Gu."

"Don't be so petty."

Although she said it to me, she kept looking at Xie Yun's face the whole time.

Xie Yun moved to the side, brushing off the place she bumped him. "Sorry, we're not familiar."

"Since you're so kind, I suggest you buy a ticket to Sichuan and have the Leshan Giant Buddha come down and let you sit on it."

Su Ran's face turned pale.

Xie Yun didn't stop there. "Since you're so fond of others' generosity, why don't you take charge for Shen Ci and spare Nie Nie's life?"

"No one wants a boyfriend who only gets himself into trouble."

Now, both of them fell silent.

As we left the store, I finally relaxed.

"By the way, did we win that round just now?"

I suddenly thought of this question.

Xie Yun sighed and shook his head. "No, Su Ran was the culprit, but Shen Ci has been protecting her all along."

"I see..."

I smiled and shook my head. "What a pity."

"Well, it's not your fault."

"I know." I smiled and said, "I did my best, so whether we win or lose, it's not my fault."

"Actually, you were amazing today." Xie Yun looked at me. "Several times, you almost figured it out. Su Ran was just scared, which is why she kept having Shen Ci cover for her."

"They both bullied you alone, which was already unfair."

Suddenly, the midnight street clock chimed.

Unknowingly, five hours had passed. It was already dawn...

"Happy birthday, Gu Nian."

Xie Yun's voice sounded, and I turned to see him snap his fingers. Countless drones appeared in the sky, forming various images.

I carefully identified them. They were written as "Gu Nian, Happy Birthday."

"You..." I widened my eyes in astonishment.

"I overheard Shen Ci saying in the bathroom today that tomorrow is your birthday," Xie Yun said, his eyes slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile.
