Summer is already over.

The weather at the end of summer is like a quiet child, without the heat of midsummer or the coolness of early autumn.

Just standing there quietly, it gives people a unique sense of tranquility.

Are you... hiding something from me?

The cicadas at night, no longer as noisy as in the height of summer, seem to be making their final, indistinct farewell.

The answer to Hang Sui Sui was yes.

A moment of silence in my mind.

It's a system that's not good at lying.

[Host, the progress bar has reached 28% in the past three months.]

I arrived in early summer, and now it's almost the end of summer.

Hang Suisui remained silent, sitting quietly on the small balcony of the private room on the third floor of Shiyan, watching the two people chasing each other downstairs.

The answer is the one that doesn't answer the question.

"I told you to stop following me!"

Qin Yu looked at the person following behind her with a headache.

Ever since Huo Zhou injured his leg trying to save her, during his hospitalization, she spent all her free time sending him messages.

They chatted about all sorts of random things, which made her feel bothered by Huo Zhou so much that she would often go to visit him.

A visit can bring peace and quiet for several days.

But to her surprise, after Huo Zhou's leg recovered, he became even more attached to her.

They seem even more shameless than before.

"Qinyu, wait a minute. If you don't like this restaurant, we can go somewhere else!"

Seeing Qin Yu turn and leave, Huo Zhou hurriedly chased after him.

Qin Yu didn't even turn his head; only three heartless words floated down from the air to him.

"I won't eat it!"

Left with no other choice, Huo Zhou had to resort to his trump card from the past two months!

Qin Yu heard only chaotic footsteps and a cry of pain behind him.

"Oh dear!"

She turned around and saw Huo Zhou, who was limping and leaning against a tree by the roadside.

He would also look up at her, intentionally or unintentionally.

Qin Yu rubbed his forehead, sighed, and walked back helplessly.

As Qin Yu drew closer, Huo Zhou bent down, bracing himself against a tree with one hand and resting the other on his leg.

As Qin Yu approached, he even pretended to hiss, making a detailed sound: "Hiss—"

It's as if my leg really hasn't healed yet.

Hang Suisui shook her head as she watched this scene, and clicked her tongue: "Tsk..."

What a great actor!

This world is just a giant makeshift operation.

Qin Yu watched Huo Zhou act, and he understood perfectly well what was going on.

Doesn't he get tired of acting in this whole thing?

Qin Yu rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue inwardly.

He raised his hand to support Huo Zhou's arm as he supported his leg, and they walked towards the main entrance of Shi Yan.

Qin Yu's sudden action left Huo Zhou somewhat bewildered.

"Huh? Where are you going?"

Qin Yu glanced at him briefly, but didn't answer. She then dragged Huo Zhou into the banquet hall on her own.

Huo Zhou took the card out of his jacket pocket and followed the waiter to a private room on the third floor.

Hang Suisui's gaze followed Qin Yu and the other person to the main entrance, until the two entered the banquet hall.

Hang Suisui pouted: "Tsk, you just spoil him."

It's like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai – a classic case of two people working together for the same cause.

After ordering, Qin Yu linked arms with Huo Zhou and raised an eyebrow at him, whose leg pain had disappeared as soon as he sat down.

"Your leg doesn't hurt anymore?"

Huo Zhou smiled at Qin Yu like a big wolfhound: "Much better."

As the dishes were served one after another, Qin Yu, contrary to her usual behavior, took the lead in picking up her chopsticks and placing a few bites of each dish into Huo Zhou's bowl.

"Aren't you going to eat? Why are you staring at me? Eat."

Huo Zhou was taken aback by Qin Yu's actions.

This was the first time Qin Yu had ever served him food!

Just as Huo Zhou picked up his chopsticks, before he could even take a bite, Qin Yu said, "I'm going to the restroom. You eat first."

When Huo Zhou looked up again, Qin Yu was no longer in the chair opposite him.

Hang Suisui lay back in the chair, looking at the faintly twinkling stars in the night sky.

She really liked this place; she liked it the first time she came. The environment here is very comfortable.

And there's that maple forest where the leaves are already starting to turn red.

Are you really not going to tell me?

Hang Suisui's response was still a moment of silence.

That day, something suddenly popped into her mind, something she had been repeatedly probing over the past few months.

Hang Sui Sui's mind became more and more certain.

001 is hiding something.

Hang Suisui was not discouraged when she didn't receive a reply from 001.

He slowly rocked the chair and hummed a song: "Hey he ...

Not telling me? She'll find out herself.

Upon hearing Hang Suisui's singing, 001, who had been silent, finally spoke.

You're so unsophisticated.

Um?

Hang Suisui paused in her humming.

[Tasteless!]

"The water of West Lake ~ my tears ~ ah hey ai ai ai ai ai ~".

The room was bright and spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows, but separated by a dimly lit balcony.

The top floor of the banquet hall.

The twelfth floor.

A tall, slender figure stood in the gentle breeze of late summer, clutching a dark green silk handkerchief.

A faint, low cough could be heard.

"Cough, cough."

A woman standing behind him, slightly bent over and with her head down, looked up when she heard the sound.

He asked with concern, "Fifth Master?"

Yin Huaizhu did not move, her eyes fixed on the maple forest in the distance.

"Quan Yi is looking for you. You should go back. There's a task he needs you to do."

His tone was flat, lacking the gentleness he displayed during the day.

"Yes, I will find an opportunity to go back as soon as possible."

Yin Huaizhu slowly turned around, her face somewhat pale, her eyes as deep as a cold pool, staring at Qin Yu standing opposite her.
