She recognized the owner of that face and was stunned for a moment before asking incredulously, "Luo Nian? Why did you save me?"

Chu Nian countered, "Why didn't you save her?" Then she helped Chen Baiying stand up straight.

Chen Baiying finally recovered from the intense emotional turmoil she had just experienced, and said candidly, "I always thought you hated me."

Chu Nian burst out laughing: "Hate you? Not worth it!"

Chen Baiying was taken aback when she heard this, then chuckled a few times and said, "That's right, how could such an outstanding woman like you possibly be interested in someone like Chang Fenglin?"

He lied to me, saying how infatuated I was with him, how unwilling I was to leave him, how I was willing to die for him, and how I even wanted to commit suicide. I actually believed him.

How could there be such a foolish woman as me in this world? Haha...hehe..."

Chu Nian said helplessly, "You're mistaken. There are plenty of women as foolish as you in this world."

Zhou Qianqian listened to the conversation between the two women in a daze, her mind racing with a thousand thoughts, constantly questioning herself: "Oh my god, what did I miss?"

It sounds like Luo Nian and Chang Fenglin have a deep entanglement! So, were all those complaints Bai Ying made about men and Brother Chang because of Luo Nian?

"Sister Baiying is really something, actually daring to covet Miss Niannian's man. How much confidence does that take? Doesn't she realize the huge gap between them?"

...

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Chen Baiying was unharmed after falling from the second floor. Chen Boteng even said, "Alright, Baiying, someone like Chang Fenglin isn't worth your time. Why don't you come and have some late-night snacks with us?"

When Chu Nian sat down at the coffee table again, Chen Boteng sincerely thanked her.

Chu Nian smiled and said, "It's nothing. You not only provide me with a job, but also provide me with food and lodging, so there's no need to be polite about such a small thing."

Chen Boteng: "What you consider a small favor is a matter of life and death for my sister." He paused, then tentatively asked, "Miss Niannian, you just said that Mr. Lou has someone he likes, then..."

“I know nothing about the person he likes,” Chu Nian quickly interrupted him, “but I can imagine that it must be someone far more outstanding than any of us here.”

It means: you should all give up on this idea, and hopefully everyone here will back down!

Chen Baiying asked curiously, "Could it be that you are even more outstanding than me?"

Chu Nian: "Of course." Although this was a bit against her conscience, she could only belittle herself in order to divert the attention of these people.

Chen Baiying murmured in disbelief, "There really is someone in this world more outstanding than you?"

Chu Nian smiled and added, "Of course there are."

Zhou Qianqian looked completely infatuated and said, "I don't want anything to do with him. I just want to see him every day, know that he's doing well, and know that he's happy."

Chen Boteng turned his head and gave her a deep look, his expression very complicated.

Chu Nian felt that among these people, only Chen Baiying seemed to be relatively rational in dealing with Lou Qianzong's questions because she had just gone through a heartbreak. As for the other two... Chu Nian really had a headache.

However, it wasn't entirely hopeless; she felt she could still try.

She said, "Although we are not as good as those kinds of people, we can find ways to narrow the gap!"

Chen Boteng asked, "What do you mean?"

Chu Nian: "For example, try to make yourself as perfect as possible. Appearance, figure, temperament, etc., can all be changed through hard work. So, who knows, one day in the future, we will become as amazing as that kind of person?"

Zhou Qianqian walked over and asked curiously, "You've become as magical as that kind of person? You mean the person Lou Qianzong likes?"

Chu Nian nodded.

Zhou Qianqian: "But didn't you say you knew nothing about that person?"

Chu Nian: "Yes, but that doesn't stop us from becoming better! Becoming better is never wrong."

Chen Boteng: "How can we become better? Or rather, how can we make Mr. Lou feel that we are getting better? Getting... better and better..." to please him? He couldn't bring himself to say the last few words.

However, Chu Nian already knew what he meant.

Chen Baiying glanced at her brother with some puzzlement, wondering why Chen Boteng was also curious about this matter.

Chu Nian said, "People like Lou Qianzong can play instruments and sing, and their voices are often full of emotion and deeply moving. We can also learn to play the piano and learn how to sing as emotionally and meaningfully as he does."

He's a top-tier zombie with boundless magical power. Although he's never actually fought, I think everyone can understand that without even thinking. So, we could try learning combat, martial arts, or even magic. Who knows, maybe one day we could fight alongside him!

As the saying goes, "It's better to weave a net than to stand by the water and envy the fish." Since we admire such an amazing person, why not strive to become one ourselves?

"Playing the piano and singing?" Chen Boteng's reaction was a bit blank, feeling that this was not something he was good at at all.

Zhou Qianqian replied, "Martial arts... I... would someone like me be up to the task?"

Chen Baiying found these two rather impressive.

Chu Nian said, "Nothing is impossible for a willing heart! If you want to learn, I can teach you." She was willing to sacrifice some time and patience.

Zhou Qianqian said happily, "Can you teach me magic? The kind that made that Miss Jiang look so bad at the nightclub just now."

Chen Baiying asked in surprise, "Nightclub? Miss Jiang was clearly using a magical artifact called Daoqi with her master in the small inn to cast a spell. What? She went to a nightclub to find you later?"

Only then did Chen Boteng realize that Jiang Yuxuan had already laid hands on Miss Niannian several times. He felt helpless and thought: I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and brought her home.

Zhou Qianqian was also a little surprised and said, "What? Miss Jiang had already tried to harm Miss Nian Nian before?" Turning to Chu Nian, she said, "No wonder you were angry with her at the nightclub just now. This person is really something. She has tried to harm you again and again but she still couldn't do anything to you. Even a fool knows that she can't beat you at all. Why can't she just stop?"

Chen Boteng pondered for a moment and said, "I do know some fighting and martial arts, but magic and such are not something that just anyone can practice!"

Chu Nian: "To cultivate magic, certain innate conditions are indeed required. However, martial arts and internal energy are something that many people can cultivate, as long as they are willing to put in the hard work."

Once these people have something they're focused on doing, they won't bother Lou Qianzong all the time. She can be considered to have fulfilled her promise to Lou Qianzong.
