"Auntie, you could have just said so if you weren't here. I made a wasted trip! I'm almost there."

His voice was deep and clear, like white pearls rolling onto a jade plate, with a youthful crispness and a slightly astringent quality, so pleasant to listen to.

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded quite helpless: "It was just an emergency, how was I supposed to know it would happen like this?"

"Fine, fine, I'll take care of dinner myself tonight. Is there any food in the fridge?" The boy was getting a little frustrated: "I must have lost my mind. Why do I have to go to someone else's house to cook so late at night when I can just cook at home?"

"You brat, if you dare call yourself 'this master' in front of me again, believe me, I'll beat you up!"

"Okay, okay, I'm hanging up now, goodbye."

The boy quickly hung up the phone and put it in his pocket.

The boy walked to the corner.

Under the dim yellow light, the girl in the dark red knitted top had long, smooth black hair hidden under a fisherman's hat, hanging down her shoulders and back.

Her long, raven-feather-like eyelashes drooped slightly, revealing a fair and delicate face with a perfectly proportioned, high nose bridge...

It looks familiar.

"Hey, isn't that so-and-so? The girl who confessed to me, what was her name again?"

...

Wu Yue pulled down her fisherman's hat, obscuring her misty, glistening eyes.

"Lu Shu, what is that?"

"Don't be afraid, I'll deal with them!" The deer-like creature inside the necklace was restless and eager to try, wishing it could float out and fight the monsters immediately.

Wu Yue could sense that these monsters were after Lu Shu and had no intention of killing her.

So all she had to do was throw the necklace into the air, causing the deer-like creature to transform and destroy the monsters.

It's no big deal.

"Hey, you kid squatting in the corner, what a coincidence!"

A youthful voice rang out, dispelling the gloom and ghostly aura surrounding them and disrupting the girl's plans.

Wu Yue's hand paused on the step of pulling off the necklace.

Looking in the direction of the voice, she was stunned for a moment before she remembered who this guy was.

That guy who called himself "this great master".

As Wu Yue looked at the other person, the other person was also staring at her with a smile on their face. The two looked at each other, neither of them making a move to look away.

One second.

Two seconds.

Oh no! It's that feeling of falling in love!

【Ahhh! Another handsome guy has arrived~ So handsome! He's my type!】

[Up streamer, let's take him down!]

[One glance, and I'm hooked. I fell in love with you just like that~~~]

[Hey, why are you allowed to send voice messages?!]

Wu Yue glanced at the comments on the public screen and her lips twitched.

[Don't be shy, streamer!]

[Let's learn about Wang Jingze's philosophy and the "it's actually good" principle!]

Holy crap, what am I seeing?!

Um?

When Wu Yue saw the last one, she was quite puzzled.

What--?

"Hey kid in the corner, you have a mosquito on your shoulder, let me swat it for you."

The boy strolled leisurely to Wu Yue, casually raising his hand to brush away the 'mosquito' on her shoulder. In the blink of an eye, the evil creature vanished into ash like a torn black cloth.

Wu Yue noticed that the unfamiliar aura around her had disappeared.

Goodness...

He's really hiding his true abilities!

She suddenly remembered the powerful and strange energy that the boy's blue diamond earrings had faintly emanated when they first met, and it was probably not an illusion.

With the wild beast Lu Shu from the Classic of Mountains and Seas as a precedent, Wu Yue could calmly accept whatever strange thing the other party might be.

"alright."

The boy withdrew his hand, took a step back, and increased the distance between them: "There are a lot of green plants here, and a lot of mosquitoes too. Do you live here, you who's squatting in the corner?"

"Yes. You too...?"

"No, my aunt lives here. I originally came to have dinner with her, but something came up." The boy shrugged and sighed, "I have to cook for myself."

Wu Yue blinked: "If you don't mind..."
