Horry rubbed his forehead; he realized he should be typing.

Before he could figure out how to explain, Su Mei smiled and slowly sat down against his chest.

Is it alright for me to sit like this?

"..."

The pool isn't big; it's just the right size for one person to lie down in.

Although Su Mei was slender, she was still quite large, so the two of them were almost touching.

"Snap, snap, snap..."

Horry rested his head on his crossed forearms, his eyes closed, looking as if he were taking a nap.

Su Mei's fingertips traced across his chest, his last words still echoing in her mind: "So blatant, it's really too much!"

Surprisingly, the rumors about Major General Thunder's love for wine and beautiful women are true... Heh!

The wine pool in the hall was, after all, a public place, so Su Mei naturally dared not overstep her bounds. She simply poured him wine while thinking about how to make him willingly accept her.

If all else fails, try using "Charm" again! That would be more reliable...

"Young Master? Young Master?"

Su Mei was only distracted for a moment when she noticed that Huo Lei's breathing gradually calmed down.

The steam blurred his face, but it couldn't hide the peacefulness of his sleep.

"Sigh... This is so good... If I could always be by your side, I wouldn't have to go through all that trouble to get to know so many other people..."

Unconsciously, Su Mei relaxed her mental defenses again, gently resting her cheek against Huo Lei's shoulder. The hard yet resilient muscles made her somewhat succumb.

Anyway, he's already asleep, and I can't use my charm anymore. I'll just wait for him to wake up, Su Mei thought.

"Snap, snap, snap..."

Wang Xuefeng lay prone under the gun, clinging to one leg of the tripod, his expression as serene as Huo Lei's.

"Depend on."

Looking at the two sleeping men, Dai Lele was immediately furious.

"Where's your professionalism! Where's your professionalism as a sniper?!" Unable to kick Huo Lei, Dai Lele could only angrily kick Wang Xuefeng, who had fallen asleep at some point.

If it weren't for the need for him to handle the gun, he would probably be asleep somewhere by now.

[Yang Xing: What are you doing? @Xiao He]

[Xiao He: I was browsing other markets; I wasn't with them.]

Yang Xing: Oh? What is Lele saying?

[Xiao He: I don't know, have you received the materials?]

[Yang Xing: Received! Although I didn't find anything suitable, I found something good. If you haven't gone far, you can turn back and buy 500 kilograms of this. (Picture attached)]

Xiao He: Good.

Xiao He threw the skewers of roasted meat he had finished eating into the trash can next to him, clapped his hands, turned around and took a shortcut back.

Amidst the enthusiastic greetings from numerous shops and vendors, a forlorn figure stood out, clearly out of place in the lively atmosphere.

That's when Xiao He noticed her.

She was dressed in a sexy maid outfit and stood at the door, clearly meant to greet customers, but she was indifferent to everyone who passed by, seemingly lost in thought, as if she had suffered some kind of blow.

Xiao He was of course not interested in her, but when his gaze swept over her, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a familiar figure inside the room.

No, there are two.

Su Mei held a glass of something she didn't recognize, and gently pressed her finger against Hori's chin, preparing to pour the liquid into his mouth.

"call--"

"Smack!!"

The maid at the door felt a gust of wind, followed by a crisp slap.

She quickly turned around, looking expectantly in the direction from which the voice came, but when she saw who it was, she was stunned.

"Who is she? When did she come in?"

"You?" Su Mei stared blankly at Xiao He, who had suddenly appeared.

Xiao He's brows were tightly furrowed; the slap he had just delivered had fully expressed his anger.

"I'm warning you, Su Mei, you can mess with me, but if you touch them, I'll chop you up!"

"You! You dare?!"

Su Mei covered her swollen face, her eyes revealing a fierce yet shrewd expression.

Without saying a word, Xiao He stepped forward, grabbed Su Mei by the collar, and dragged her out.

"Let me go!"

The maid by the door was terrified and dared not step forward to stop Xiao He, letting Su Mei be roughly dragged away by him.

"Waaah—"

Angelina received Xiao He's order and swooped down from the sky.

People were already used to this big, winged creature; they would just glance at it at most, and no one found it strange.

Just as Su Mei was about to scream for help, a piece of ore was stuffed into her mouth.

Angelina grabbed Su Mei like a wrapped dumpling and rode Xiao He into the dark night sky...

-

"Xiao He! What are you doing! You can't kill me!"

As soon as Su Mei was left on the riverbank in the wilderness, she pulled the iron ore out of her mouth with her own hands, then turned around and screamed at Xiao He behind her.

The shimmering water reflected the pristine white blade, which pressed against Su Mei's face.

"I don't care about you because I'm too lazy to care about you, but that doesn't mean I don't have a temper."

"You! You can't kill me!"

Su Mei was so frightened by the sharp edge that she dared not move, but she still struggled to express herself with words.

"Everyone saw you arrest me! If I die, you won't escape either! You! You'll be expelled from school! You'll spend your life in prison! Let's see how you dare!"

"Heh." Xiao He laughed: "Hehehe..."

Su Mei's eyes widened, but before she could say anything else, a hideous gash was slashed across her neck.

Blood gushed from her mouth and nose, but before she could completely lose consciousness, she witnessed the beginning of her nightmare.
