Chapter 186 (First Release)...
It was a new day, and Ning Wanwan had to go to school. She left the house.
She had someone replace the door later. When they replaced it, the workers were shocked by the large hole caused by the corrosion, but she managed to brush it off with a few words.
Ning Wanwan was initially worried that her neighbor's disappearance would lead to her being implicated. Although the apocalypse was approaching and all rules and regulations would become invalid, it would be too unlucky to be arrested and imprisoned at such a critical time.
Fortunately, her worries did not come true. Whether it was because the neighbors had weak interpersonal relationships and no one reported the case, or because other forces handled the aftermath, this matter did not bother Ning Wanwan.
This saved Ning Wanwan some trouble.
As for how that pool of blood was dealt with... Ning Wanwan didn't want to recall even a single detail.
Along the way, Ning Wanwan tried to dispel the unpleasant images, and kept thinking about random things, such as what the root cause of the apocalypse was, and how to get the characters in the story to help her...
Suddenly my cheek felt warm.
Ning Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then looked up and met Zhou Yanyao's brightly smiling face. In his hand was the bottle of milk that had just touched her cheek.
"Good morning, Wanwan." Zhou Yanyao shook the milk in his hand. "Want some? This one is really good."
Ning Wanwan hesitated for a moment. Normally, she would refuse, but she had just been thinking about how to get the important characters in the plot to trust her and help her. Could this be an opportunity?
Ning Wanwan hesitated for a moment before nodding, and Zhou Yanyao's eyes immediately lit up. He was clearly surprised that Ning Wanwan would agree so easily; he had thought he would be rejected several more times.
Then, the bottle of milk was decisively handed to Ning Wanwan. The temperature through the bottle was just right, warm enough to drink.
Ning Wanwan whispered, "Thank you..."
Zhou Yanyao waved his hand: "Wanwan, why are you thanking me? What kind of relationship do we have?"
Ning Wanwan was confused. What kind of relationship was this? Why did they seem so close, like old friends who had known each other for many years?
However, Zhou Yanyao was naturally outgoing. Ning Wanwan thought that perhaps this male supporting character was the easiest to get along with.
"But Wanwan, I saw you walking with your head down from afar. What are you thinking about?" Zhou Yanyao tilted his head slightly and leaned closer to look at her, like a big dog with a keen sense of smell.
This brought Ning Wanwan, who had been somewhat distracted, back to her senses: "It's nothing..."
"Really?" Zhou Yanyao looked at her.
Ning Wanwan nodded: "Mm."
Zhou Yanyao blinked, stepped back slightly, and nodded: "Okay, I'll believe whatever Wanwan says."
"..." Seeing Zhou Yanyao's completely untroubled expression, Ning Wanwan thought for a moment and then spoke, "Zhou Yanyao..."
Before she could even ask, Zhou Yanyao had already turned around and leaned in, very enthusiastically: "What, is there something you want to ask me, Wanwan?"
Ning Wanwan paused, somewhat helplessly: "Um..."
Zhou Yanyao grinned: "Then I'll have to listen attentively."
Ning Wanwan: "It's not that bad... I just wanted to ask, why does it seem like the incident at the amusement park last time didn't have much of an impact on you?"
Ning Wanwan knew that even as a passerby, she had experienced a lot. As important characters, the male lead and the male supporting character must have gone through even more ups and downs and more thrills.
However, Zhou Yanyao seemed unaffected, still smiling brightly and cheerfully, full of enthusiasm.
Ning Wanwan thought, "It must be because the male lead and the male supporting character have exceptionally strong and determined minds."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yanyao stared at Ning Wanwan for a while, then suddenly stopped and sighed.
Ning Wanwan also stopped, somewhat puzzled: "Zhou Yanyao?"
Zhou Yanyao's smile had vanished, and he now looked exceptionally serious and focused.
"Wanwan, you're mistaken. It's not that it didn't affect me."
"I only want to show you my best side. And when I see you, I can't help but feel even happier."
and……
Thinking of something, Zhou Yanyao pursed his lips, his heart sinking slightly.
He and Qi Lin absolutely refused to believe that what happened at the amusement park was a coincidence. The outside world said it was because of an earthquake, but having personally experienced it all, neither he nor Qi Lin could be fooled by that excuse.
In fact, the amusement park was just the beginning; subtle changes were still ongoing. He and Qi Lin hadn't been idle during this time.
Zhou Yanyao thought that he had to become stronger so that he could protect the person in front of him.
Therefore, all the trials, injuries, and pains are worthwhile.
His good brother, Qi Lin, probably thought the same thing.
So even though they knew they both liked the same person, they didn't waste time being jealous of each other.
Because there are more important things to do, and more important things to protect.
However dangerous it may be, you still need to protect your face! Otherwise, you'll lose an advantage in attracting the attention of someone you like!
In this respect, Qi Lin was much more cunning than him. Don't be fooled by that guy's quiet demeanor; he actually used a protective item to shield his face!
Thinking of this, Zhou Yanyao couldn't help but grit his teeth. That guy was just too lucky; he always managed to get all sorts of necessary items and resources. Even though they were brothers, Zhou Yanyao sometimes really wanted to drag him out and beat him up.
Everyone else is so eager to try, I can't fall behind. I'll see if I can make a deal with someone who also has special abilities...
Thinking of this, Zhou Yanyao's face became even more serious.
Ning Wanwan didn't understand why Zhou Yanyao's expression suddenly became somewhat... heavy, and he even seemed to be gritting his teeth.
She looked closely and noticed that Zhou Yanyao seemed to have bandages wrapped around his body.
"Zhou Yanyao, are you injured?"
"Um"
Hearing Ning Wanwan call his name, Zhou Yanyao tugged at the hem of his clothes that had been blown up by the wind. The seriousness on his face vanished instantly, and he smiled as brightly as ever, as if nothing had happened.
"It's just a minor issue, it'll heal with some rest."
Ning Wanwan hesitated for a moment, then thought of the dangers faced by the key characters in the plot, understood something, nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.
She understood that when male protagonists and supporting male characters follow a path of advancement and become stronger, they often encounter life-or-death situations.
However, it is precisely because of this that they were able to have sufficient ability to resist and cope with the changes when the world began to change, and always stay ahead of everyone else.
Ning Wanwan glanced at Zhou Yanyao again.
Since he can still go to school, there shouldn't be any major problems... Judging from Zhou Yanyao's expression, he doesn't seem to be struggling at all.
I really envy that kind of physical fitness.
Upon arriving at school, Ning Wanwan and Zhou Yanyao went to their respective classes, and they happened to run into Qi Lin when they parted ways.
Qi Lin's gaze swept over the two of them, his expression indifferent and unreadable: "Good morning."
He was looking at Ning Wanwan when he spoke.
Ning Wanwan was taken aback, not expecting the male lead to stop and greet her.
Now Ning Wanwan is no longer as afraid of and avoids the male lead as she was at the beginning. In the illusion, Qi Lin helped her a lot and even left her a crucial clue in the end. Ning Wanwan always remembered it and felt that although the male lead was taciturn and had a strong presence, he was a very good person.
It would be better if the gaze wasn't so penetrating.
Every time Qi Lin's gaze fell on her, Ning Wanwan felt that although his gaze was faint, it was exceptionally present, as if he could see through everything she was thinking.
"Good morning, Qi Lin," Ning Wanwan replied softly.
After receiving her response, Qi Lin nodded without saying anything more, only glancing at Zhou Yanyao who was closely following Ning Wanwan before turning and leaving.
After reluctantly parting ways with Ning Wanwan, Zhou Yanyao also headed towards his own class.
“Old Qi, I won’t give up.” After taking a few steps, Zhou Yanyao suddenly spoke, his tone cheerful and relaxed, but his eyes were serious. “She is very important to me, the most important.”
Qi Lin kept walking forward without stopping or looking at him, and Zhou Yanyao almost thought that Qi Lin hadn't heard him.
But just before entering the classroom, Qi Lin lowered his eyes slightly, sparingly uttering three words, unwavering.
"Me too."
Zhou Yanyao felt a mix of emotions, as if he were both surprised and expecting it.
He knew that his friend was taciturn, but once he spoke, he never changed his mind. If he said something, he was serious.
Honestly, how come they both have their eyes on the same person? He really doesn't want to compete with his good friend unless absolutely necessary.
Zhou Yanyao exhaled and smirked.
But no matter what, he will not give up.
Sigh, what can I do when the person I like is so attractive?
In the current situation, there's more than one rival in love.
The moment they stepped into the classroom, a haughty-looking boy seemed to sense something, raised his head, his flamboyant red hair like burning flames, and his aura was sharp and menacing.
This person was Jiang Chengran.
Previously, Jiang Chengran simply didn't like the two of them.
Ever since they discovered they were rivals for the same woman at the amusement park, the atmosphere among them has been almost always tense whenever they meet.
Qi Lin remained indifferent, yet he did not back down.
He doesn't like to cause trouble, but that doesn't mean he's afraid of trouble, especially since he has no intention of backing down at this moment.
Zhou Yanyao smiled broadly, seemingly easygoing and carefree, but he also raised his eyebrows at Jiang Chengran in a provocative manner.
It seems this tense situation will continue until the final outcome is reached.
...Or rather, even if the girl who wasn't present made a choice, they might not necessarily give up.
After all, there's a saying that even married couples can get divorced.
Opportunities are for those who work hard. If you can't beat them, it just means you're useless.
...
Ning Wanwan was unaware that a chaotic scene was unfolding in the male lead's class because of her.
As a socially awkward person who is not good at handling interpersonal relationships, she really dislikes this kind of trouble.
Fortunately, the men seemed to understand and rarely made a scene in front of her.
However, Ning Wanwan encountered another problem.
"Ning Wanwan." Zhao Rui suddenly called her name.
Ning Wanwan, who was about to sit down, paused and looked at him. Zhao Rui had his brows furrowed tightly, and he was kicking the table intermittently with his feet, looking very annoyed.
It's like he's about to kick everything in front of him to pieces in the next second.
His expression softened slightly when he saw Ning Wanwan.
But this is not a good thing for Ning Wanwan.
"What, Ning Wanwan, are you avoiding me?"
