No one knows what happened during Julian's wish-making process, but when Julian returned, he had a smile on his face, so it seemed that everything went smoothly.

However, Da Yao glanced at the other party and then chuckled softly.

The mockery in that voice almost made Julian's smile falter.

Julian, who had originally vowed not to touch the tea and snacks in the room, now had no choice but to drink some tea to calm himself down.

However, he remained calm, even though his previous smile had a hint of showmanship. But Mingmei and the others didn't think Julian was in any trouble.

Judging from his behavior just now, it's really hard to tell what wish he made or what answer he received.

"Next, I'll go."

Having fallen behind Julian by one step, Da Yao naturally didn't want to fall behind by two steps. Zhen Po, who was standing to the side, wanted to say something, but seeing how eager Da Yao was, she immediately shut her mouth.

He actually wanted to go earlier.

"Didn't you say you had no wishes?"

After Da Yao left, Julian's gaze once again fell on Zhen Po. Zhen Po chuckled twice and said, "Since we're already here, why not listen to what the Fox Fairy has to say? Being... ah, it would be good if being a fox fairy could bring blessings to the region."

As he spoke, his face inexplicably turned red, which caused Mingmei, who was drinking water, to choke on her own saliva.

Bright and beautiful: an ominous premonition.

"Are you alright?"

Everyone present looked over when they saw Mingmei's sudden intense reaction. Mu Chen, however, kept his eyes down and didn't say anything. He just gently patted Mingmei's back and then gave Zhen Po a meaningful look.

Seeing Mingmei put down her teacup, Mu Chen asked again, "You... like someone like the Fox Fairy?"

"Ah...that...ah, I...I just..." As if his innermost thoughts had been exposed, Zhen Po's face, which had initially been slightly flushed, instantly turned a deep purplish-red. "The Fox Fairy is...really quite beautiful..."

Mingmei: ...

Mingmei felt that it wouldn't be surprising if one day her uncle was chased by his father with a knife.

"Is this your ideal type, or do you just think she's pretty?"

"Ah, if my future wife is really that beautiful, then of course I'd be interested!" Zhen Po answered without hesitation, then quickly covered his face in a shy, macho manner.

Mingmei: "..."

It's so spicy, it's so spicy it makes my eyes water!

Julian was also surprised by Zhen Po's preference. It wasn't that the Fox Fairy was unattractive, but her beauty was simply too aggressive. Julian felt that such a beauty was only suitable for admiring.

However, seeing the mysterious merchant's reaction, Julian's eyes flickered, and after staring at Mingmei's face for a few seconds, his eyebrows suddenly twitched.

Why did he feel that the mysterious businesswoman looked somewhat like the Fox Fairy?

"By the way, what did you talk about with the Fox Fairy just now?"

Having been stared at by everyone for too long, Zhen Po quickly changed the subject, interrupting Julian's thoughts on the resemblance between Mingmei and the Fox Fairy, and curiously asked Julian what exactly happened when he went in.

“I didn’t say anything, but she asked me what my wish was and what the offering was. I answered with my wish and the offering I could provide, and then she told me to come back and wait a while, and I would know later.”

Julian's answer was extremely vague. He neither stated what his wish was nor the issue of the tribute. His final statement, "we'll know soon enough," meant whether he knew if the wish would come true or when it would come true.

"Ah, that's all?" Zhen Po scratched her head in annoyance and said, "Can't we talk a little longer? About other topics or something?"

Julian: ...?

He almost forgot that this guy was interested in the Fox Fairy.

Bright and beautiful!

How daring!

Fortunately, Lu Xiaoyao wasn't there either, and her live stream wasn't running, so her dad didn't know any of this.

Mingmei was deceiving herself, but the moment her mother appeared, someone had already captured the footage and uploaded it to the StarNet...

As a result, Mingmei was unable to contact her uncle Yan Hui for a long time afterward.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

Just then, Zhen Hu finally woke up, his face streaked with tears.

"I……"

When Zhen Hu woke up, he naturally attracted everyone's attention. Zhen Po looked at him with concern, while Julian and Mingmei looked on with curiosity.

"Brother, you were asleep just now and I couldn't wake you up no matter how much I called you. What's wrong? Why are you crying like that? Did you have a nightmare?"

Upon hearing the word "nightmare," even Mingmei couldn't help but pay more attention; her lunchbox, on the other hand, was a sweet dream!

You can't spread rumors about your own lunchbox just because the other person is crying like that, okay?

"It wasn't a nightmare."

After being reminded by Zhen Po, Zhen Hu looked at Ming Mei, forced an awkward smile, cupped his hands in thanks to Ming Mei, and said, "Thank you for the boxed lunch."

"Yes, you're welcome. Since you paid for the course, you don't need to thank me specifically for the lunchbox you bought. It's nothing."

"What kind of riddle are you two playing?"

Zhen Po was confused. His brother had been crying so hard while he was asleep, and it turned out to be a sweet dream?

"Brother, did you dream that you cried from beauty?"

Everyone: It's so beautiful it's breathtaking!

"Ah...maybe it's because I realized that it really was a beautiful dream that could never come true..." Thinking this, Zhen Hu, who had just woken up, looked melancholy again, then looked around and asked why someone was missing.
