"Alright then! Thank you, Uncle Liu, I'll be going now."

Officer Liu nodded. He decided not to tell the girl; it couldn't be a bad thing after all.

People in higher positions are starting to pay attention to her. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Let nature take its course!

This girl is a good person, and he doesn't want her to have any accidents because of those dangerous missions.

As soon as Shen Hua arrived home, she smelled the familiar fragrance.

Xie Sichen came and even cooked something delicious.

She went inside and saw him keeping the food warm. When he saw her, he removed the food, revealing it inside.

An incredibly fragrant aroma wafted into Chen Hua's nose, almost making her drool.

The cooking skills have improved, and it tastes better and better.

In the past, when we sat down, we would pick up our rice and eat our side dishes.

"By the way, it's my roommate's birthday today, so I won't be coming back for dinner. You can cook your own food."

"Eat some yourself, don't just put food on my plate. Look how thin you are."

Xie Sichen looked at his body in a daze, then at the food.

He shouldn't be thin; he's very well-proportioned, looks good in clothes and has a muscular physique when undressed. You won't find another person with such a great body.

Despite his thoughts, when he saw the meat she placed in his bowl, he silently put it in his mouth and ate it.

"That's more like it! Eat more to make up for it."

Shen Hua still remembers how he couldn't even afford steamed buns or cornbread, and how he was so hungry that even the bizarre food she ate tasted delicious.

Thankfully, he recovered. Otherwise, with all those injuries and being so thin he looked like skin and bones, it would have been a terrible sight.

Thinking of this, she put a few more pieces of meat on his plate.

Although it was delicious, the portion was generous, so he didn't go hungry.

Speaking of which, I haven't measured my height in a long time, and I can't find an opponent to counter my spiritual power, so I don't know how it is. I can only vaguely feel that I've recovered about 50-60% of my strength.

The current results are all thanks to Xie Sichen. His cooking is exceptionally good; one meal of his is more effective than several meals she ate outside.

"You've been working too hard, so I'm thinking of giving you a raise. Would you prefer WeChat or cash?"

Xie Sichen was still eating meat, not understanding why it was time to get paid, but after a slight pause, he quickly dismissed his doubts.

He spoke with thin lips: "Send it on WeChat!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he received a WeChat message. Upon opening it, he saw that Shen Hua had transferred 20,000 yuan to him.

...

“Over there, I think this cake looks better placed over there. We need to leave space here for eating, drinking, and having fun,” Xiyi suggested.

Unexpectedly, Shang Wenwen didn't know how to plan a birthday party. She was unfamiliar with many things and only bought a very large cake and booked a small hotel.

Although many things were prepared, since it was just friends celebrating my birthday, I still needed to add some unique touches to make it meaningful.

They invited quite a few people this time, all of their classmates, except for some people they weren't very close to, like Wu Zhi.

Qi Yi has friends now, and there's also the Shang family. If he wants to have a good birthday, he has to cut ties with them first.

"Okay, then put it over there."

Shang Wenwen was stunned for a while before she reacted and replied.

"Sister Wenwen, are you a little nervous? I don't think your family members are good people. They're just a side branch of the Shang family, nothing special."

Just like her family, they're practically distant relatives, living a quiet and law-abiding life. They're not like them, so high and mighty, yet doing things like this.

"I'm not going to talk about it anymore. Anyway, we don't have any feelings for each other. I'm just a little worried that things won't be so easy to handle."

In the afternoon, the venue was almost ready, and that's when Chen Hua arrived ahead of schedule.

Since they're all roommates, she had to arrive early to make up for it.

Upon entering, I saw two people who looked somewhat tired.

"When did you arrive? Why are you here so early?"

"I'm not going to say anything more. I don't know what's wrong with Wenwen's boyfriend. He's let us down at this crucial moment. It's come to this point and he still hasn't come to help. I'm starting to doubt her abilities," Xiyi said with some dissatisfaction.

Shen Hua frowned as well. Qi Yi didn't seem like that kind of person at all! They used to want to be together every day, but how did things change so much in such a short time?

Could it be that she misjudged him and met a jerk?

"Wenwen, did Qi Yi lie to you about anything?"

Shang Minwen:......

I was completely stunned. What were they thinking? What could they possibly be lying about? At most, they were mutually in love.

"Don't overthink it. He's just busy with something. It's really not like that. Besides, I trust my judgment. Qi Yi isn't that kind of person. He made a phone call not long ago."

"Sister Wenwen, it was only a phone call that lasted less than a minute, and you've already tried to win her over several times. But we're just concerned about you, so you still have to keep an eye on yourself. There are so many scumbags out there these days."

The little girl knows quite a lot; why don't I see her considering these things when she talks to Feng Qing?

"Okay, I understand."

By this time, some people had already arrived, and everyone knew them, so entertaining them was really a difficult task.

Shen Hua was only vaguely familiar with them, Shang Wenwen didn't know how to talk to them, and Xi Yi wasn't in their class.

Fortunately, Xiyi went out to greet them in the end, and the two of them accompanied her.

"Sister Wenwen, this doesn't feel like a birthday celebration, it looks more like a party with everyone."

"No, there will be waiters busy when we go in. If you're tired, you can go and rest for a while. We'll take care of you."

Xi Yi thought to herself, "It's better to just stand here and stare at each other than to have you all come here."

"Happy birthday, Shang Wenwen. This is a birthday gift that Li Zi, Nan Ge, and I prepared for you." Northwest's voice came over at this moment.

Xi Yi then remembered that she had a cheap older brother, and she figured she might as well use this free labor.

So Northwest and Particle took on the role of host.

As for Nangong Rui, with her arrogant attitude, who would dare to bother her?

He's been acting a bit strange these past few days.

"Little country bumpkin, I have something I want to tell you."

Nangong Rui pulled Shen Hua, who was about to follow Shang Wenwen and the other girl, over and led her to a secluded place.

"Nangong Rui, what's wrong?"

Something feels off, and I'm a little anxious.

Do you still remember Jin Jiao?

Shen Hua's heart skipped a beat. Why did they suddenly bring up Jin Jiao out of the blue?

"You're not going to see her?"

Nangong Rui nodded. When he recalled that day, his face darkened. When had he, Nangong Rui, ever suffered such humiliation?

"How's the situation? Has she pressed for answers? Has she given up?"

This was something she was quite concerned about. Jin Jiao was a formidable figure, and being entangled with her was terrifying, especially since her connections were not simple.

"What else could happen? They found out I wasn't you, then they asked for my whereabouts and contact information, and even threatened me. Worst of all, they sent her sisters to harass me... I..."
