"I'm going to die."

"This time it's really over!"

On the way back, Zhou Sheng kept muttering that he was going to die.

Wang Yue said, "On the bright side, maybe he won't die, after all, he's my cousin."

He Yu said, "Yes, he won't die, but he'll be paralyzed on one side."

Zhou Sheng: "..."

That would be worse than death.

Seeing him like this, He Yu sighed and began to analyze.

When they returned, Zong Shao was clearly smiling, obviously something had happened that made him happy.

"In Young Master Zong's eyes, we are uninvited guests who are ruining his plans."

Unfortunately, Brother Sheng has absolutely no sense of propriety.

Not only did he steal Yan Can away in front of Zong Shao, but he also got so close to Yan Can and said some meaningless nonsense.

If he doesn't get beaten, who will?

"Is that so?"

After listening to He Yu's analysis, Zhou Sheng suddenly understood.

"No wonder, I was wondering why my cousin looked so pale."

He became even more frustrated.

"It's all over! It's all over!"

"I didn't think I deserved to die."

"Now that you say that, I'm really going to die!"

After a while, Zhou Sheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Do you think my cousin would turn a blind eye to me if I hired someone to tie up that idiot Gu Chen and beat him up to avenge Yan Can?"

He was about to make a phone call to call for more people.

Wang Yue: "That will only make you die faster."

He Yu: "Brother Sheng, how about we get a checkup at a neurology department?"

——

In the other car, Yan Can asked Zong Lian.

"You're not going to kill him, are you?"

She didn't quite understand why Zong Lian was so angry at the time.

But his aura was truly frightening.

Although she wasn't afraid at all.

Zong Lian said, "No."

His expression was calm, as always.

Yan Can leaned closer and looked at him up close.

She asked, "Why were you so angry then? Was it because I was too close to him? Or because we said a lot of trash talk?"

Zong Lian paused, then turned his head to look at her.

Yan Can pursed her lips slightly, her eyes serious yet bewildered, as if she truly didn't know why.

He recalled the scene in the courtyard of the guesthouse.

The girl smiled radiantly.

"Zong Lian, you are really likable."

Yan Can said this.

But she doesn't seem to remember.

Or perhaps she was just saying it offhand.

Why?

Yan Can asked again.

Zong Lian slowly tightened his grip on the steering wheel, then gently released it.

It turns out he gets nervous sometimes too.

Zong Lian said, "You said you like me."

Yan Can: "..."

When did she say that?

She immediately retorted, "Impossible, I never said that, otherwise I would definitely remember it."

Zong Lian: "Think about it again."

Yan Can thought about it for a while, but still couldn't find the relevant memories.

Zong Lian then repeated what he had said.

Yan Can exclaimed "Ah!" after hearing this, and then started laughing again.

Zong Lian: "..."

What are you laughing at?

He didn't make that up.

Yan Can laughed so hard she was shaking.

She didn't stop until she saw Zong Lian's ears turn red.

She grabbed Zong Lian's ear.

"How dare you alter my words without my permission?"

Zong Lian tilted his body at a slight angle so that Yan Can could pull his ear.

He said, "It doesn't count as tampering."

"Zong Lian, you are so likable" is the same as "Zong Lian, I like you".

What else could this be but a confession?

If it weren't for those three guys interfering, Yan Can would have said countless heart-warming things to him.

Yan Can gently tugged at his burning red ear.

"Zong Lian, how can you be so cute?"

She spoke with a smile, but her eyes remained fixed on Zong Lian's face.

Zong Lian appeared confident and composed, but the tense lines on his face betrayed his true feelings.

He was nervous.

So much so that they didn't even realize what Yan Can had just said.

A few seconds later.

Zong Lian suddenly snapped out of his daze and looked at Yan Can.

His tense expression relaxed, his brows unfurrowed, but his eyes had a strange red tinge.

He said, "See, you just said that again."

Yan Can was taken aback. "What did I say again?"

She only said that Zong Lian was cute.

Self-strategy.

Even cuter than a dad who blindly loves his mom.

Zong Lian revealed a helpless yet smug expression, "You said you like me again."

Yan Can: "..."

Cute = Like?

She finally understood Zong Lian's thought process.

Yan Can found it amusing. "You equate everything? Who taught you to do reading comprehension like that?"

Zong Lian: "You."

Yan Can is like a dating guru.

She doesn't have to do anything.

I just stood there quietly.

Let him sink deeper and deeper.

——

They went back to the hotel and had a late-night snack together. When Yan Can saw Zong Lian off, she reminded him.

"Zhou Sheng is quite fun, don't kill him."

Fun?

Zong Lian narrowed his eyes slightly; if it's fun, then we should have fun with it even more.

But she gently agreed.

"Won't."

He promised he wouldn't mess things up.

After leaving the hotel and getting into his car, Zong Lian called Zhou Sheng.

No one answered the phone three times in a row.

Inside a hotel room, three furtive figures were peering out the window at the floor below.

"Have they left?"

"A car went out, it looked a lot like Young Master Zong's ride."

Are you sure?

Zhou Sheng asked.

He Yu shook her head.

"It looks somewhat similar, but it's too far away and the lighting is dim, so I can't be sure."
