Huo Zhou's arms were so tight that she could hardly breathe, so Qin Yu reached out and pinched the flesh of his arm.

"Hiss—! Qin Yu?" Huo Zhou winced in pain, and his arm loosened slightly.

"What are you doing? What are you doing here?"

Huo Zhou felt like he was going crazy with joy: "Qin Yu, I've come to take you home. My parents have already gone to your house with gifts to propose marriage!"

Qin Yu's eyes widened: "What did you say?"

A marriage proposal?

One after another, Qin Yu felt she had no room to think, her mind went completely blank.

As Hang Suisui watched this scene, a tall, slender figure came into view out of the corner of her eye.

Yin Huaizhu walked slowly in from behind.

Hang Suisui quietly stepped forward and stood next to Yin Huaizhu, whispering, "Well done."

Yin Huaizhu raised an eyebrow, her eyes fixed on Hang Suisui: "It's because your message was sent in time."

The two were talking quietly when they were drawn to a sound of someone kneeling down.

He turned his head.

Huo Zhou held up a diamond the size of a pigeon's egg and knelt down in front of Qin Yu with swift movements: "Qin Yu, marry me!"

Qin Yu remained silent and motionless, pursing his lips.

Huo Zhou grew anxious after waiting for a long time without seeing any response from Qin Yu.

He reached out and took Qin Yu's hand, his voice urgent: "If you don't want to marry me, I'll marry you!"

Huo Zhou held Qin Yu's finger, about to slip the diamond ring onto her fingertip: "It might be a bit rushed for you, but I've been preparing for this for a long time. It's just that you wouldn't budge. But now it's different. If you won't marry me, I'll marry you. It's all the same anyway. I'll give you whatever you like. As long as I have it, I'll give it all to you. If I don't have it, I'll find it for you..."

Qin Yu felt dizzy from Huo Zhou's barrage of words. She looked down at the ring that was already on her finger and Huo Zhou, who was still kneeling in front of her.

She asked blankly, "What if I like murder and arson?"

"I'll take care of it for you!" Huo Zhou stared intently at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu blinked: "I mean, I'm serious."

Huo Zhou: "I'm serious!"

Qin Yu looked at Huo Zhou without saying a word.

Huo Zhou held Qin Yu's hand to his lips and began to analyze seriously: "If you're not satisfied, I'll give you the Black Hawk Gang. Although I can handle things domestically, too many people will inevitably cause problems. It's different abroad. With the Black Hawk Gang, you can kill whoever you want and set fires wherever you want. They're very professional at cleaning up and covering up, so you can use them with confidence!"

Oh my God!

While others propose with romantic talk and fleeting affections, these two talk about murder, arson, and cleaning up the mess.

As expected of the male and female leads, they are so refreshing and unconventional.

Hang Suisui silently turned her face away, unable to bear to look.

She was worried that Huo Zhou would prevent Qin Yu from returning to Shadow, just like in the original script, and prevent Qin Yu from having any contact with anything related to M country.

After all, apart from Yin Huaizhu being a variable, many things in the main storyline of the male and female protagonists are developing as usual.

That's why Hang Suisui secretly took precautions.

If Huo Zhou's answer today does not satisfy Qin Yu, Huo Zhou's Black Hawk Gang will be swallowed up by Yin Huaizhu's forces.

Hang Sui Sui is very protective of her own.

If Huo Zhou dares to make Qin Yu give up the career she has worked so hard to build, she will make Huo Zhou's efforts crumble.

Seeing the smile that finally appeared on Qin Yu's lips, Hang Suisui also smiled silently.

A slender hand fell into a large palm.

My palms felt slightly cool, and the system's announcement echoed in my mind.

[Male and female protagonists' mission progress +10%.]

[Male and female protagonists' mission progress = 90%.]

[System points reward: 300 points.]

[Host Points = 2500 points.]

[Congratulations, host! The mission is nearing completion. Keep up the good work! 😂!]

Watching Qin Yu and Huo Zhou leave, Hang Suisui and Yin Huaizhu set up snacks in the garden and stayed up to welcome the New Year together.

Hang Suisui lay lazily in the rocking chair, covered with a thick blanket that Yin Huaizhu had draped over her.

My gaze fell upon the garden, where the trees and flowers were covered in a blanket of white.

This is the first New Year she hasn't spent alone since her master passed away.

Red lanterns were hung at the entrance of the garden, and festive couplets were pasted up. The faint sound of firecrackers could be heard in the distance.

The night sky was moonless for miles, like a black curtain, with dazzling fireworks occasionally bursting forth, which was quite beautiful.

A servant hurried into the garden, stood next to Yin Huaizhu, bowed, and said, "Fifth Master, there's a monk outside the gate who says he's looking for you."

Hang Suisui, who was standing next to her, looked puzzled.

Monk?

Why are you coming to the Yin family's house instead of staying in your own temple during the Lunar New Year?

Yin Huaizhu's gaze darkened, and he waved for the servant to leave.

He concealed his expression, got up from the rocking chair, and said to Hang Suisui beside him, "I'll go check on things. You sit and play. Remember to call someone to change the tea if it gets cold."
