After making her wish, Ye Ling blew out a breath onto the 20 candles: "Whoosh~"

Her second wish made everyone's hearts skip a beat. She already had so many treasures to help her, how could she not completely suppress the black fish?

Everyone suppressed their unease and focused on celebrating Ye Ling's birthday.

After the birthday party ended, You Ziming came to Ye Ling's side: "I have something I want to tell you, is it convenient?"

Ye Jinyan, who had been staying by Ye Ling's side, said, "Is there anything we can't say here?"

As a man himself, he knew all too well what the look in You Ziming's eyes meant when he looked at Ye Ling.

Ye Ling belongs to them. The addition of Wen Yanchen has already driven them crazy, and now there's another one. Everyone is trying to take Ling Ling away from them. Do they think they're invisible?

You Ziming looked at Ye Ling: "It's about the apocalypse, I'd like to talk to you about it."

Ye Ling drank some red wine and then secretly drank some white wine. Her face was flushed and her head was a little dizzy.

She looked at You Ziming with somewhat unfocused eyes: "Does it have to be now?" Her voice was soft and weak.

You Ziming felt a slight chill run down his spine under her gaze. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he nodded, "Is that alright?"

"Can."

"Can't."

Ye Ling and Ye Jinyan spoke at the same time.

Ye Jinyan pulled Ye Ling into his arms and said to You Ziming, "Do you think she's ready to talk business right now? Let's wait until she's rested."

Ye Ling rubbed against his chest and smiled at him, "Then you can come with me, and we can talk things together."

Ye Jinyan gently pinched Ye Ling's chin, making her look up at him: "Who am I?"

"You? Aren't you Fourth Brother?"

Ye Jinyan: "..."

Ye Ling tiptoed and kissed him, saying, "Didn't you say I've been neglecting you? I won't neglect you anymore. I'll take you everywhere I go."

Ye Jinyan: "..."

Ye Tianfei squeezed in from behind, trying to take Ye Ling away from Ye Jinyan's arms, but Ye Jinyan was holding her too tightly, and he couldn't pull Ye Ling too hard for fear of hurting her.

Ye Tianfei pulled Ye Ling's wrist and looked at Ye Jinyan: "Third Brother, the person Lingling wants to bring is me."

"Huh? Fourth Brother? How come there are two Fourth Brothers?"

Seeing the scene before him, You Ziming knew his plan had failed. He pursed his lips and said to Ye Ling, "You're drunk. I'll take you home to rest."

"oh."

Just as Ye Ling was about to take a step, Ye Jinyan pulled her back and said to You Ziming, "We will take her back, so we won't trouble you."

Ye Jinyan picked up Ye Ling and left.

You Ziming stood still and looked at Ye Ling, who was waving at him. She stuck her head out and said to him, "Boss, my fourth brother has a bit of a temper, don't mind him."

"Lingling, look carefully, I am Ye Jinyan, not Ye Tianfei," Ye Jinyan reminded her in a low voice.

"Huh? You're the third brother? What about the fourth brother?"

Ye Tianfei quickly caught up and said to Ye Ling, "I'm here."

Ye Jingyan and Wen Yanchen watched them leave and then approached You Ziming. Ye Jingyan said, "Let's talk."

Wen Yanchen also looked at You Ziming: "Captain You, is there anything you want to say to us?"

Seeing the two's posture, You Ziming chuckled and said, "I was planning to have a chat with you anyway. Where would be a convenient place to go?"

Ye Jingyan pointed to the area under the hibiscus tree: "Let's go over there."

After the three left, Moody and Wen Mengxia huddled together and gossiped quietly.

Moody: "Is the You team making a move now that they've decided on their intentions?"

Wen Mengxia nodded: "Obviously. They really are... Lingling only has one. No, Lingling's situation really needs them."

Moody covered his mouth and whispered, "It seems Lingling hasn't realized You's feelings yet, but your brother and Mr. Ye obviously know what he's thinking. No, that's crazy, there are seven of them including him!"

Wen Mengxia frowned: "Although Lingling had excellent grades in that world, no one taught her how to get along with the opposite sex. She seems unable to distinguish between friendship, family affection, and love."

"Didi, I think we need to have a serious talk with Lingling and teach her how to distinguish between friendship, family affection, and romantic love."

Moody nodded: "That makes sense. She's very dependent on Mr. Ye and the others, so she probably still doesn't know whether her feelings for them are romantic love or familial affection."

Wen Mengxia: "I don't object to her accepting them, but the premise is that she needs to know clearly whether she accepts them because of family affection or because of love."

If it's just that family members feel awkward about refusing, then we need to teach her how to say no. She shouldn't accept something just because she's embarrassed, as that's not good for either of them.

But if she loves them, then I wholeheartedly agree. After all, it's the apocalypse; having multiple partners is their own choice, and nobody will or can interfere.

Moody looked towards the house: "What about her now? Judging from their posture, something's bound to happen soon. But then again, doesn't Lingling need them right now?"

Her second wish was to remain conscious and stay by their side. Does this mean she knows the black fish in her mind is only temporarily suppressed and will eventually control her again?

Wen Mengxia looked in the direction she was looking and said solemnly, "You're right. Her situation is quite dangerous right now. It would actually be beneficial for her to have something happen with them."

And they've confessed their feelings to her more than once, so she should be mentally prepared to accept them. Didi, regarding what we were just discussing, I think we still need to teach her to distinguish between different kinds of feelings.

I always felt that excellent men would appear in Lingling's life. Whether she accepted them or not is another matter, but she needs to be able to discern her feelings. What do you think?

“You’ve misunderstood. My sister has no affection for them, only admiration and respect. Don’t forget, she lived three lifetimes in another world, and the feelings she had for Brother Ye and the others when they were children have long since faded.”

Jiang Yin appeared behind them without them noticing, which made Moody and Wen Mengxia feel a little awkward.

Jiang Yin looked at the two of them and said, "But what you said is not wrong. She really doesn't have anyone to teach her how to date over there. Sisters, if you have time, please teach her how to date."
