"What? Xia went to challenge Zhang Lin?"

The city lord received the news quickly and was taken aback.

Although he planned to incite competition between Xia Xiaonuan and Zhang Lin, putting pressure on them and forcing them to grow quickly, and even intended to team up with Xia Xiaonuan to suppress Zhang Lin's arrogance, but...

He never expected that Xia Xiaonuan would challenge Zhang Lin on her very first day in Hope City.

"This is bad, I have to intervene. With Xia's current strength, she is no match for Zhang Lin!"

The city lord's expression changed, and he immediately stood up and hurriedly headed towards Villa No. 16.

Meanwhile, Zhang Lin himself was upstairs in Villa No. 16, and he received the news even faster than the city lord.

But he didn't go downstairs.

Instead, he stood upstairs, watching the two women fight below, and felt a terrible headache coming on.

"She's actually the first captain of Hope City!"

Seeing the woman below, dressed in a leather jacket, looking dashing and exuding a free and unrestrained aura, Zhang Lin felt his head buzzing.

"Brother Lin, do you know the First Captain?"

"I'm standing here," Ji Yuetong asked curiously.

She naturally knew Xia Xiaonuan, but she never expected that Zhang Lin and Xia Xiaonuan also knew each other.

Moreover, judging from Zhang Lin's appearance... the relationship between the two seems to be somewhat unusual.

“She’s my ex-girlfriend…” Zhang Lin said in a complicated tone, “We were once at the point of discussing marriage, but… in the end we didn’t end up together.”

"Why?" Ji Yuetong asked curiously, her eyes sparkling with gossip.

Zhang Lin did not answer directly, but instead fell into reminiscence.

As Xia Xiaonuan realized, Zhang Lin had always been rather withdrawn because of his orphan background.

Xia Xiaonuan's personality is completely different from Zhang Lin's. Zhang Lin is the type who has no interest in anything and is too lazy to pursue anything.

Before the apocalypse, he felt that he and the An Qingge and An Qingwu sisters were not from the same world, so he simply stopped communicating with them. They lived together, but were like strangers.

Xia Xiaonuan is a very persistent woman; if she sets her sights on something, she will be very determined to get it.

She wanted to be number one in school, so she studied like crazy 24 hours a day and eventually became number one in the whole school.

After she started working, she wanted a promotion, so she worked incredibly hard and even found something to use against her boss, forcing him to resign.

At that time, Zhang Lin had joined the company earlier than her, but she became Zhang Lin's immediate supervisor after only two months on the job.

Logically speaking, Zhang Lin's personality is completely different from hers; the two are from completely different worlds and should never be able to get along.

However, Xia Xiaonuan's preferences were quite different from others. Zhang Lin was usually very low-key, and after completing his work tasks each day, he would just slack off and drift through life, making him virtually invisible.

But she just happened to fall for Zhang Lin...

Given her assertive personality, if Zhang Lin had dared to refuse her, he would have lost his job the next day.

Moreover... although Xia Xiaonuan was a bit assertive, she was pretty and acted in a cool way, quite different from ordinary women. For Zhang Lin, Xia Xiaonuan taking the initiative was not a bad thing, and he didn't think about refusing at the time.

The two quickly moved in together and even talked about marriage, but Xia Xiaonuan was too outstanding and Zhang Lin was too lazy, so her family didn't agree.

At the time, Zhang Lin was also overwhelmed by Xia Xiaonuan's domineering nature. In addition, after living together for a while, they had done what they were supposed to do, and the novelty wore off. Taking advantage of her mother's exorbitant demands, Zhang Lin pretended to be shocked and simply broke up with her.

After that, Zhang Lin changed jobs, rented a new apartment, and became colleagues and roommates with An Qingge.

Zhang Lin thought he and Xia Xiaonuan would be from two different worlds from now on, but he never expected to run into them again after the apocalypse.

She even came to our door.

"Brother Lin, aren't you going down to do something about it?" Seeing that Zhang Lin didn't want to talk about the past, Ji Yuetong stopped asking and started talking about downstairs, "They're fighting more and more fiercely!"

Zhang Lin also looked downstairs; the battle between An Qingge and Xia Xiaonuan had reached a fever pitch.

Both of them had bruises on their bodies, but so far they are evenly matched, and neither of them is seriously injured.

Of course, this is why An Qingge didn't use any other extraordinary abilities besides that passive ability.

It's because Xia Xiaonuan has too much combat experience, while An Qingge has too little. Otherwise, she could have defeated Xia Xiaonuan just by relying on her physical attributes and the passive ability of the Wind Dancer.

"It's alright for now..." Zhang Lin looked at the scene below, rubbing his forehead, and said, "Let me take another look."

He really didn't want to go down.

Although his current strength far surpasses Xia Xiaonuan's, he really doesn't want to fight her.

Although Xia Xiaonuan has a strong personality, she is really good to Zhang Lin. There was a time when Zhang Lin was short of money, and she was the one who supported him financially. At that time, the two had already broken up.

If it weren't for her personality issues, Zhang Lin would truly be willing to spend his life with a woman like her.

"Is it that bad?" Ji Yuetong really wanted to laugh when she saw Zhang Lin like this.

Previously, Zhang Lin had always acted like a scumbag, whether towards her or the An sisters. An Qingge liked him so much, yet he didn't hesitate at all when he slept with her and the twin sisters. He even somehow managed to persuade An Qingge to take An Qingwu as well.

So, even he has women he can't handle?

"Let me rub it for you." But on the surface, Ji Yuetong was very gentle. She stood behind Zhang Lin, letting his head rest on her chest, and rubbed his temples with her small hands.
