weekend.
Zhu Hao and Geng Ying agreed to meet at the coffee shop in the mall.
"Geng Ying?" Zhu Hao nudged the arm of the person beside her. "Geng Ying? What's wrong?"
Geng Ying snapped out of her daze and gently shook her head. "It's nothing."
Zhu Hao looked at the coffee in her hand with three drops of sugar, then glanced at her hand as she prepared to add a fourth drop.
"What are you thinking about so absentmindedly?" Zhu Hao snatched the fourth candy from her hand. "Any more and you'll be sick of the sweetness."
Geng Ying stared at the coffee in front of her, her shoulders slumped, and she sighed deeply, "Xiao Zhu, do you believe that someone can turn into a kitten?"
“No, it’s a nine-tailed fox that turned into a human,” Geng Ying corrected. “No, that’s not right either… oh well… anyway… Sweet Bean…”
She wanted to talk about Song Shang, but didn't know how to start, afraid that Zhu Hao would think she was just telling a story.
The words "nine-tailed fox" made Zhu Hao keenly sense that something was wrong. "Is that why you've been so absent-minded today?"
"I guess so..." Geng Ying hesitated for a moment, "Never mind, let's not talk about that anymore, let's talk about your business instead."
Zhu Hao didn't intend to skip this topic: "Did Sweet Bean turn into a human? Or is Sweet Bean a nine-tailed fox?"
"Ah..." Geng Ying murmured in response, "Do you think I'm crazy?"
Instead of a response, she abruptly asked, "What was Sweet Bean's original name?"
"ah?"
"name."
"Song Shang".
Upon hearing this, Zhu Hao was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses.
“You’re not crazy.” Zhu Hao took the coffee away from Geng Ying and replaced it with a new one, placing it in front of her. “He is the nine-tailed fox.”
Geng Ying finally realized what was happening, "You knew? How did you know!?"
Zhu Hao calmly explained what Song Shang had done to her before, as well as Song Shang's identity, including Tang Song's matter.
An hour later, Geng Ying stared at Zhu Hao's arm with a look of surprise.
Zhu Hao picked up his coffee and took a sip to quench his thirst. "What's wrong?"
"So... you can take down a hundred strong men all by yourself now?!"
"Pfft!" Zhu Hao covered her mouth, "Cough cough cough..."
Geng Ying quickly pulled out a few sheets of paper and handed them to her, saying, "Slow down."
"Cough cough cough..." Zhu Hao wiped the coffee stains from the corner of her mouth and looked up at Geng Ying.
So, after all that she just said, Geng Ying only remembered that she was currently training? Capable of taking on a hundred people single-handedly?
Geng Ying patted Zhu Hao's back while staring at her with bright, inquisitive eyes, "Really? Really?"
Zhu Hao lowered her eyes, looking at the arm that had already sneaked into her sleeve, and gave a speechless twitch at the corner of her mouth, "Hmm."
"Wow!" Geng Ying's slightly cool fingertips excitedly pinched the muscles on Zhu Hao's arm. "It really is!!!"
Zhu Hao puffed out her cheeks and silently pulled her sleeves up a little.
After admiring her muscular physique, Geng Ying remembered the important matter, "So, according to you, Tang Song is a wolf, and his thinking is completely different from ours. Does that mean the advice I gave you before was useless?"
"Not really..." Zhu Hao frowned, looking conflicted. "He was definitely in a hurry."
"Then what?"
"I was so eager to find the person I wanted to date that I even beat up Xue Qinfeng because I mistook him for Xue Qinfeng."
"Isn't that a good thing? It means he cares about you and is jealous."
"But last night he wanted to find me someone else."
"Huh?" Geng Ying looked up, her hand still gripping Zhu Hao's forearm. "He wants to find you a man?"
"Probably... right?" Zhu Hao hesitated for a moment, she hadn't told Geng Ying that she could hear Tang Song's thoughts yet.
Tang Song's idea of personally choosing a man for her was just his wild speculation, and it's uncertain whether it's true or not, since this man's thoughts have always been unconventional.
"Damn it!" Geng Ying jumped up, the chair scraping against the floor with a screeching sound. "What's the difference between this and him cheating on me?"
"Shhh!!"
Zhu Hao quickly pulled her away; she really couldn't stand the stares of everyone in the coffee shop.
On the way out of the mall, Geng Ying angrily complained, "Why is he so dense? Isn't he supposed to be the Wolf King? How can he be so oblivious when it comes to matters of the heart?"
"Is he crazy? He did things with you that only couples do, and now he wants to push you onto someone else?!"
Zhu Hao quickly covered Geng Ying's mouth and whispered, "Keep your voice down!!"
Geng Ying then realized that everyone around them was looking at them.
She swallowed hard and nodded repeatedly.
Zhu Hao let go of her and pushed her towards a less crowded area.
"Are you going to go along with him?" Geng Ying said in a low voice, exasperated, and tapped Zhu Hao's forehead with her index finger. "If this man continues to be so oblivious, you might as well just be direct, so you two can stop guessing each other."
Zhu Hao paused for a moment, then downplayed the issue, saying, "How could I possibly choose another man?"
"So if he doesn't realize his own feelings, you'll just keep quiet and not ask?" Geng Ying asked sharply, "Aren't you two able to talk?"
Best wishes: "..."
"I'm asking you." Geng Ying poked Zhu Hao's arm and took the opportunity to pat it a few more times.
"Ask, ask, ask!" Zhu Hao's face turned red, like a cornered rabbit, at her wit's end. "I'll ask when I get home tonight!"
Geng Ying nodded in satisfaction, but still didn't let go of her arm, and used her other hand to gently pat Zhu Hao's little face.
Zhu Hao pursed her lips. "My problem is solved. What about yours?"
Geng paused, a nonchalant smile playing on his lips. "Mine is easy to deal with. Just let it go back to where it came from."
Having just heard Zhu Hao's explanation, she understood perfectly well that Song Shang approached her in order to get close to Zhu Hao.
Whether it's to wish her well or for her own sake, severing all ties with Song Shang is the best option.
Now it was Zhu Hao's turn to hesitate. "Aren't you going to reconsider?"
Others may not know how much emotion Geng Ying invested in Song Shang in his kitten form, but she knew it all too well.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to refer to "sweet beans" as Geng Ying's family members.
She told Geng Ying those things only so that Geng Ying wouldn't be kept in the dark, not to interfere with Geng Ying's decision.
"You've thought it through?" Geng Ying's eyes flickered slightly. "This is the result of several days of consideration."
Zhu Hao met her feigned relaxed expression and sighed softly, "Fine, it's up to you to decide."
Geng Ying nodded repeatedly and pulled her towards a women's clothing store. "Alright, help me choose some clothes first. I recently took on a part-time job hosting a commercial event, and they require me to wear all red. I don't have any red dresses at home, so it's perfect to go buy one today."

"I'm back." Fang Ming's voice rose, revealing an indescribable joy. "I bought you some daily necessities and food."
There was no response from inside the room.
Fang Ming put down the bags he was carrying on the ground and looked around the cramped rented room.
There was no one in bed, and no one on the sofa.
"Fang Ling?" Fang Ming opened the bathroom door directly, and his heart sank to the bottom when he saw the empty bathroom.
