Cao Yuan was slightly stunned, then clinked his glasses and smiled bitterly, "It's still possible to subdue the Black King, but not being single... Alas."

Cao Yuan sighed and drank the wine in the glass.

"Qingyu, Sister Jiang'er, this is for you." Baili Pangpang raised another glass of wine and said to An Qingyu and Jiang'er, "Qiye is about to marry Jialan, you two should speed up... Qingyu, Sister Jiang'er is such a good girl, you must cherish her and don't do stupid things.

This [Yaoguang] is one of my favorite forbidden items. I will give it to you first. Just think of it as an early wedding gift from me."

Baili Pangpang took out a necklace from his arms and handed it to An Qingyu, who was slightly stunned.

"Fatty, what are you doing..."

"I'll do it first!"

Baili Pangpang finished the last sip of the wine, his whole face was red and his eyes were a little blurry.

"Fatty, you're drunk." Seeing this, Lin Qiye frowned slightly, supported the shaky Baili Fatty with both hands, and said to the others, "You guys eat first, I'll take him back to rest."

Under the night sky, everyone looked at the back of the man who was being supported and staggering away, leaving only the gurgling sound of the hot pot echoing in the air.

…

Compared to the bustling square, the area near the dormitory was much quieter. Stars hung in the dark dome, and under the dim street lights, two figures walked slowly forward.

Lin Qiye supported Baili Pangpang, and the strong smell of alcohol hit him. He hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"Chubby, are you worried about something?"

Baili Pangpang burped, shook his head and smiled, "No, what could I be worried about?"

"I don't know...but I feel like this is not like you."

Baili Pangpang paused for a moment, "Really? Then what do you think I should look like?"

Lin Qiye thought for a moment, "The Baili Pangpang I know looks careless and heartless, and sometimes does stupid things, but he is actually very thoughtful. The more critical the situation, the more he will smile and adjust the atmosphere..."

Baili Pangpang blinked his eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It does sound a bit like me."

He looked at the starry sky above his head, and after a moment, he spoke again, "Qi Ye..."

"Um?"

"Tell me, what does my existence mean to this world?"

Lin Qiye stood there in a daze.

"What I mean is that even without me, Baili Pangpang, the world wouldn't change much...right?" Baili Pangpang pointed at the starry sky above his head, "It's like a remote star above. Even if it goes out one day, no one will notice it.

But if the moon in the sky disappeared, it would cause great panic.”

Lin Qiye looked at his profile, and after a moment of silence, he spoke, "If that's the case, then not only you, but each of us is dispensable to this world. After all, even without any one of us, it will still function... But why should we be measured by the world's standards? The existence of any person is irreplaceable.

Without Baili Pangpang, the world might still function as usual, but not [Nightfall]... Apart from anything else, without you, how could we have a hot pot here? Without you, how many more Night Watchmen would have died in this war?

People standing on the ground may not notice the disappearance of stars, but the night sky will remember. "

Baili Pangpang stood there, silent for a long time like a sculpture, then smiled helplessly, and seemed to be much more relaxed.

"Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true..."

"Don't think too much about these things. No matter what happens, you will always be Baili Pangpang of the Nightfall team." Lin Qiye patted his shoulder. "You are too tired today. Go back and have a good rest. We will be watching over you at night."

"Um."

The two of them crossed a deserted road and soon returned to the door of Baili Pangpang's room.

Baili Pangpang walked into the house, turned on the light, turned back to Lin Qiye in the corridor, smiled slightly, with a hint of drunkenness still on his face.

"Goodbye, Qiye." He said softly.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Lin Qiye waved his hand.

The door slowly closed, and the light flowing through the crack in the door disappeared completely. Lin Qiye stood in the dim corridor, and after a moment, turned around and left.

…

When Lin Qiye returned to the square, everyone had almost finished eating.

"How is he? Is he feeling better?" An Qingyu asked when he saw Lin Qiye coming back.

"He should be better now... He asked some strange questions. Maybe he's in a bad mood." Lin Qiye sighed, "I rarely see him with that kind of expression..."

"Just when you left, two more groups of girls came and also wanted to ask for his contact information... Would he be happier if he knew this news?" Hongying thought for a while, took out a few notes from her bosom and handed them to Lin Qiye, "I have collected all the notes from those girls for him. Give them to him when you are free."

Lin Qiye looked at the pile of notes in his palm and said with a wry smile, "Then let me thank you on his behalf, Sister Hongying."

Just as everyone was talking, a figure slowly approached from a distance. When she approached, a light fragrance blew across everyone's faces, and it smelled very comfortable.

Lin Qiye turned his head and saw Molly standing not far away with her lips pursed. She was still wearing the dark red cloak, and looked no different from during the day, but she seemed to have done some careful makeup, looking more beautiful. The bloody smell on her body was also completely covered by the fragrant breeze.

"Molly! You're here? Come sit down and eat something!"

When Hongying saw Molly coming, she immediately took out the small stool beside her and spoke happily.

"...Thank you." Molly tucked the ends of her hair behind her ears with her fingertips, looked around, and asked in confusion, "Where's Baili Pangpang?"

The members of the [Nightfall] team looked at each other, and after a moment, it was Lin Qiye who answered:

"He... went back to rest first."

"Going back?" Molly was stunned.

"Well, I don't seem to be feeling well."

Molly's face showed disappointment. She nodded silently and slowly turned around and walked back in the direction she came from...

Hongying immediately sensed something unusual from the changes in Molly's expression and body. She was about to ask the people around her in confusion, but Lin Qiye made a gesture to her to keep quiet and shook his head slightly.

Molly walked forward a few steps, then suddenly stopped, as if she had made up her mind. She turned around and asked somewhat embarrassedly:

"Um... do you know which room he is in?"
