"An'an!" Seeing Shen Bei'an becoming increasingly flustered in front of him, Gu Nan'an tightly grasped Shen Bei'an's arms with both hands, bent down slightly, and met his unfocused peach blossom eyes. "There's nothing wrong with your body."

Shen Bei'an was completely deaf to Gu Nan'an's words at that moment; he was only thinking about whether it was because he was an outsider...

Original form!

Where is the original body?!

"An'an!" Gu Nanyan's voice was loud, "You are you, don't think nonsense!" She gripped his arms tightly, "Shen Bei'an, don't think nonsense, you are Shen Bei'an!"

Her voice was so loud that it even echoed throughout the restaurant.

Sharp and unyielding

But it makes people feel at ease and compliant.

He tilted his head back like a puppet, his usually captivating peach blossom eyes now lifeless and empty. "Gu Nanyan, what exactly do you know..." His body stiffened.

It's already the height of summer, so there's not much to say about the outside.

The room was cool and comfortable, but Shen Bei'an felt a chill run through his body, as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

Gu Nanyan reached out and pulled Shen Bei'an into her arms, resting her head on his shoulder. "An'an..." her voice was slightly hoarse, "Trust me, okay?"

She held him tightly.

His body was trembling, and she seemed even more frightened.

"I believe you." He had no reason not to believe Gu Nanyan.

It wasn't just because Gu Nanyan knew something but remained silent, but also because they were childhood sweethearts.

Furthermore, his family entrusted him to Gu Nanyan with complete peace of mind.

Because of that casual mention of the wolf tail eight years ago, because of those twelve years, because of that island, because of that grand wedding, and because of her undisguised love over the past twenty years.

After coaxing Shen Bei'an to take the pill and go back to his room for a short rest, Gu Nan'an rested his head on the headboard.

Shen Bei'an held her tightly, preventing her from getting out of bed.

Are you free tonight?

"Huh? Weren't you on your honeymoon? What, you left your little darling to ask me out?" Hua Yueli replied almost instantly.

"You're back. Tell Yu Ci to prepare some wine. We're going to Moonlight Beauty tonight. See if anyone's free to come along. Don't bring any family members." Gu Nanyan typed while gently massaging Shen Bei'an's head, without using voice messages.

"Huh? Are you kidding me? Is it that I'm not going, or that Boss Zhou isn't going? Besides, can someone like that sickly beauty even make it?" Hua Yueli couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw the last four words.

"Mom?" A little boy with delicate features, dressed in a light blue robe, was flipping through a book when he noticed something. He looked up at Hua Yueli with his round, adorable eyes.

Hua Yueli raised her hand and ruffled the hair of her beloved son. "It's alright, Ninth Brother, keep watching. Mom is chatting with your... Godmother Yan."

"I'll take you to meet her another day."

At this point, Hua Yueli couldn't help but curse inwardly.

You bastard!

“Okay!” Hua Zejiu knew that his mother had a good friend, well… she always called her “dog thing”, but asked him to call her “godmother Yan”. He had only seen her photos and had never met her in person.

They did not receive a reply from Gu Nanyan.

An old man led his twelve spoiled sons.

Dog: Tonight at nine o'clock, under the moon, a beautiful woman, a drinking party, wanna go?

Li Bai: Let's go! @MoonlightBeauty, let her reimburse me!

Jiao'er: Drinking hurts my throat, but I can watch you guys drink.

Embroiderer: Let's go.

Bo Le: So you've finished your honeymoon and come to drink with your classmates.

Ice Cube Face: Okay

Uncle Bao: Nine o'clock. After 8:30, my little uncle fell asleep. Count me in.

Erlang Shen: Nine o'clock? What a wonderful summer vacation, what a lovely married life!

Li Taibai: @Erlang Shen, don't be too cocky. Want to see my embarrassing past? I have a ton here.

Erlang Shen: @Li Taibai, Dad is waiting for your wedding day! Go, go, go, add me in, let's see how Dad gets Li Taibai drunk!

Li Bai: That's ridiculous! You think you, a master of tea, can outdrink a master of wine? Are you crazy?

Boss Zhou: Zi Mo went, so naturally I have no reason not to go.

Tsundere: Our main task is to get that bastard drunk, and the side task is to get him to reveal his secrets!

You bastard: With your alcohol tolerance? @ArrogantGhost, you?

Seeing the interaction between Gu Nanyan and Hua Yueli, everyone immediately understood that the two had gotten together.

Moonlit Beauty: Okay, I'll prepare some snacks to go with the drinks. Do you have any dishes?

The responses were overwhelmingly "no".

Li Bai: Just do as you see fit.

The classmates chatted for a while.

Sickly Beauty: I happen to have nothing to do tonight, so let's go together.

Li Bai: !!! @Sick Beauty, what do you mean you're alright? Aren't you afraid of hurting yourself? Why aren't you resting and sleeping at home? What are you doing out drinking so late at night?

Sick Beauty: I'm not that weak. With the cell repair device and Zi Mo's conditioning, I feel much better.

Li Bai: That won't do! What if something happens?

...

Arrogant Ghost: Ahem, @Li Taibai, @Sickly Beauty, please DM me, they're practically in a love triangle. @Boss Zhou, husband! Look at them!

Boss Zhou: Be honest, I have another set of data. If you get it wrong, you'll be sleeping in the study.

Erlang Shen: Pfft, hahaha! That's absolutely hilarious!

...

Unlike usual, Gu Nanyan didn't close the page and just watched those people clown around.

The smiles on their faces also increased.

A message suddenly came in.

“Xunqian, indecisiveness is not like you.”

Gu Nanyan stared at the message, unable to look away for a long time.

After a long while, he replied, "Master, I have always been hesitant and cautious when it comes to him. I cannot bear the cost of losing him."
