Jiang Yushi almost fled from the scene.

Confused, embarrassed, at a loss.

But what cannot be concealed is the weird beating of the heart.

On the deserted path, Jiang Yushi looked up at the moon, then lowered his head and covered his eyes.

It was just an accident.

Because he was still very hungry and didn't know where to find the delicious food, Jiang Yushi simply followed Xia Mu because he had always admired Xia Mu's taste and style.

So he would just watch from behind whatever Xia Mu ate, always following his lead at a pace that was always half a beat slower. If Xia Mu took a lot, he would just take a few more bites, and he would eat until he was full.

Why not go up and join Xia Mu? Because he was really sleepy and didn't want to talk, he just wanted to eat something.

At the moment the lights were turned off, he was still not far away from Xia Mu, and instinctively walked towards his friend.

But……

Why did Xia Mu fall into his arms in the end?

At that moment, Jiang Yushi could only describe his mood as confused.

But when he felt someone pushing him from behind, Jiang Yushi felt that the person in his arms seemed smaller than he looked.

If it was Wei Chiyan, he would definitely push him away in disgust, and then take advantage of the chaos to punch Wei Chiyan twice and pass it on to someone else.

But for some reason, at that moment he instinctively wanted to protect Xia Mu.

So he put his arms around Xia Mu's waist and pulled her into his arms.

Actually, this is nothing, but why...

Jiang Yushi's fingertips lightly pressed against his Adam's apple.

The feeling at that moment was soft and a little moist. He could even smell the sweet scent of white peaches with his breath.

Why do I feel this way?

That's outrageous.

Jiang Yushi was so overwhelmed with guilt that he didn't know how to face his friends.

That's why they are so timid that they let go in panic, or even run away in a hurry.

Because as long as you escape, no one will know, and the incident can be treated as if it never happened.

It was just a coincidence in the first place. Telling it out would only put Xia Mu in the same awkward situation as him, which was unnecessary.

The way he handled it should be correct.

The boy lowered his eyes and finally convinced himself with great difficulty.

This is a secret that does not need to be known by anyone.

Most of the evening's arrangements had already been completed, and students were quietly leaving one after another.

Wei Chiyan found Song Zhili and asked, "Have you seen Jiang Yushi? I couldn't find him when I ate a piece of fruit."

Song Zhili looked towards the side door.

Before the lights went out, that was the last time he saw Jiang Yushi...

And Xia Mu.

But before he could get there, the lights went out and he was still a step too late.

He didn't know what happened. After the lights came on, he saw Jiang Yushi leaving in a hurry.

Song Zhili replied: "He just left, didn't you know?"

"...Huh?" Wei Chiyan was very surprised and said with a depressed look on his face: "He abandoned me and ran away? This is too disloyal!"

Although Wei Chiyan said this, it was clear that he was not really angry.

Song Zhili's gaze stayed on him for a few seconds, and asked: "Don't you know why Jiang Yushi left?"

Wei Chiyan looked confused: "Song Zhili, did you stay up all night yesterday? How can you ask such a boring question with such a smart mind? If I knew, would I still ask you?"

Song Zhili was not annoyed, but continued to ask: "Then why did he leave first if he didn't tell you?"

Wei Chiyan thought without hesitation: "Then I will ask a few more times."

His principle in dealing with people is to be shameless.

"I won't tell you even if I ask?"

Wei Chiyan thought about it seriously and said, "There must be a reason that is inconvenient to tell me."

Song Zhili was slightly startled, and then asked: "If Xie Yan and I knew about it, but we just didn't tell you, would you mind?"

"Hmm..." Wei Chiyan thought about it seriously, but shook his head again.

The silver-haired boy smiled brightly: "Jiang Yushi is not here, so I will just praise him. I have always thought that you, Xie Yan, and Jiang Yushi are all very smart. If there is something that you three don't want to tell me, there must be a reason why I can't know. I believe in you."

Wei Chiyan always trusts every one of his friends 100%.

As a result, he also received all the sincerity from every friend in return.

After a few seconds of silence, Song Zhili's lips curled up slightly, and he said: "I understand, thank you, Wei Chi."

"Ah?" This conversation made Wei Chiyan feel incoherent and he had no idea what Song Zhili wanted to thank him for. However, he also noticed that Song Zhili didn't seem to be in a very good mood recently, so he responded with a more enthusiastic smile.

Xia Wan drank another glass of white peach juice, and then saw a hand stretched out in front of her, with a candy in the palm.

Xia Wan raised her head in confusion, it was Song Zhili again.

Xia Wan took the candy, but looking at the foreign characters on it, she asked, "What is this?"

Song Zhili replied: "Hangover candy."

Xia Wan didn't understand, so she stuffed the candy back into Song Zhili's hand and said, "I didn't drink any alcohol, so I don't need to eat this."

Song Zhili looked at the goblet in her hand and explained, "You were drinking fruit wine. Although the alcohol content is low, I saw that you drank a lot, so we should be on the safe side."

After Song Zhili finished speaking, he unwrapped the candy and handed it to Xia Wan's lips, saying, "Open your mouth."

This posture is a bit too intimate.

But perhaps she was really a little drunk, Xia Wan's mouth reacted before her brain and accepted what Song Zhili fed her.

Song Zhili looked very satisfied and asked her: "What were you thinking about during those thirty seconds?"

Xia Wan: "..."

Why do they all care so much about this boring game segment?

What could she be thinking about at that time? Of course, she was thinking about who was holding her!

But this answer was obviously inappropriate, so Xia Wan thought about it and made up a more realistic lie: "I was thinking about my sister."

Song Zhili lowered his eyes and looked at her with a gentle expression, obviously willing to listen.

Through "Xia Mu", Xia Wan complained to Song Zhili: "I know Wei Chiyan doesn't like my sister, and my sister doesn't like him now, but it's still very troublesome to cancel their engagement."

After all, the marriage had been planned for many years, and the two were a well-matched couple in everyone's eyes. There were even many cooperative relationships between the two companies. If they really wanted to cancel the marriage, they would definitely need to think long-term to minimize the impact on both companies.

"In fact, there is an easier way." Song Zhili suggested: "As long as your sister or Wei Chi can find a new marriage partner who is equally matched, it won't have much impact if you just change the marriage partner."

Xia Wan naturally disagreed: "What kind of solution is this? Isn't it just asking people to jump from one fire pit to another?"

Then Xia Wan lowered her voice and said, "It's already the 21st century, why is the significance of women's existence in the family still marriage alliance?"

Even though Xia's father loved his daughter so much and was prepared to leave most of his property to his daughter because of his son's poor health, he still wanted to find a husband for his daughter who could protect her.

As for Wei Chiyan, he was the only one in the Wei Chi family and he had no choice.

"Not entirely." Song Zhili refuted her, but his tone was very calm, and asked: "Do you know why I care so much about grade ranking?"

Xia Wan was naturally attracted by his question, so she asked: "Why?"

"The family business has long been decided to be handed over to my sister. My sister is indeed very outstanding." At this point, Song Zhili's face became a little more lonely, and he said: "So if I can't even maintain the top spot in the grade, I will completely lose my value in my father's eyes. Because my sister will inherit the family business, the only one who can arrange the marriage is me. Maybe this is the only meaning of my existence."

Xia Wan: Pupils tremble.

Far from the score. Far from the big score.

Song Zhili is such an outstanding person, but he has fallen to the point of being a vase for marriage in the Song family.

Is this world crazy? Or is his sister really that outstanding? She can outshine a genius like Song Zhili?

Or let her father take Song Zhili as the successor of the Xia family? She could also bring her useless brother to enjoy the wonderful retirement life when Song Zhili works and they retire.

Although Xia Wan had known for a long time that the Song family's inheritance rights would be given to the illegitimate daughter, she still found it difficult to understand when she heard from Song Zhili that the value of such an outstanding person's existence was marriage.

Xia Wan then looked at Song Zhili and said very seriously: "I know that what I say now is not credible, but Song Zhili, the one who will inherit the Song family in the end must be you, not your sister, so you should never belittle yourself. You are the best person I have ever met."

It is not an exaggeration to say that Xia Wan feels trust and dependence towards Song Zhili.

No matter what time or what occasion, Song Zhili is always the most reliable one among all people.

He is also the person she subconsciously wants to ask for help first whenever she encounters any trouble. Even so, Song Zhili is also the person she is most wary of.

But at this moment, Xia Wan still couldn't help but feel indignant for him.

Song Zhili also looked at her, with a faint smile in his eyes, and replied: "Okay, I believe you."

Xia Wan curled her lips.

There was no doubt that the answer was too quick and it was obviously just to please her.

Xia Wan couldn't help it and reached out to grab a glass of white peach flavored juice.

Oh, it seemed to be fruit wine, but she couldn't tell the difference, it didn't matter.

Song Zhili asked again: "Do you like drinking this?"

Xia Wan nodded, then shook her head: "Not really, it's just that I really like peach-flavored things, but this is the only peach-flavored one today."

"Got it." Song Zhili stuffed the remaining two hangover candies into Xia Wan's hands and said, "Eat them together. I'll change them to peach flavored ones next time."

Xia Wan: "Okay...eh?"

Eh? Is there a next time?

Maybe that fruit wine can really make people drunk.

Xia Wan felt a little dizzy, so she called her driver after the party and asked him to wait for her two bus stops away from the school.

She would just walk for a while, take a stroll and enjoy the breeze.

After walking for a while, Xia Wan felt her mind was much clearer, but she also felt tired.

So Xia Wan prepared to call the driver again and ask him to drive the car further towards the school.

But a terrifying scene happened.

Looking at the dozen dogs running towards her not far away, Xia Wan was stunned.

She is not afraid of dogs, but she is really no match for a dozen or so. She simply has no chance of winning due to the sheer number of them.

And it seemed that these dogs were also targeting her. They were running towards her happily, with each dog's tail wagging more happily than the other.

Xia Wan: "???"

Is she really that popular with dogs? That's unreasonable.

Although it seemed that these dogs were kind to her, when Xia Wan came to her senses, she found that she had already climbed up the tree, and was quite high up.

Xia Wan: "..."

Brain: Don't be afraid, these dogs mean no harm to you.

Body: No matter if there is any or not, there are too many, so you still have to escape first.

At this moment, Xia Wan was sitting on a tree, and there were a dozen dogs surrounding the tree, wagging their tails and barking at her.

This absurd scene made Xia Wan start to doubt again whether she was really drunk and this scene must be an illusion.

Until a person who couldn't possibly appear in her dream appeared.

Xie Hate was wearing a black shirt, which was very thin in this weather, but he didn't seem to care. He just walked over and stood under the tree, then looked up at Xia Wan.

However, something even more outrageous happened. These dogs actually gave way to Xie Nian and circled around him even more happily.

The young man showed a smile that could be described as evil: "Hey, Xia Mu? I haven't seen you for a few days. Why are you living in a tree?"

Xia Wan: "..."

Go to his grandfather.

Xia Wan expressionlessly picked up a leaf and threw it at Xie Ni without any attack, and asked: "Why did you bring so many dogs to attack me?"

Xie Xi looked innocent: "I didn't. Don't you know them? I sent you photos of each one. They obviously wanted to thank you."

Hearing Xie Zun say this, Xia Wan's eyes widened a little and she looked at the dogs at Xie Zun's feet curiously.

Looking closely, it seems to be the case. Every dog ​​looks familiar and cute.

but……

Too many! Still too many!

Xia Wan hugged the tree trunk tightly and said, "Please keep them away from me for now."

So Xie Lian turned around and shouted "Hey", and the disguised "passersby" not far away immediately rushed over, took all the dogs away, and sent them back to continue to be fed and well-fed.

Xia Wan: "..."

I recognized them; these were the bodyguards who were looking for Xie that night.

But Xia Wan didn't understand why the last bodyguard looked at her with such resentment when he left with the two dogs.

When these dogs were taken away, they were very reluctant to leave and kept looking back every few steps.

Xia Wan sat on the tree and laughed out loud.

Xie Hate stood under the tree with a gloomy face.

Xia Wan asked curiously: "Why are you so popular with dogs?"

"Do you think we are in a good mood to chat now?" Xie said with a disgusted look as he stretched out his hand and patted the tree in front of him, obviously on purpose.

Xia Wan was so scared that she hugged the tree trunk tighter.

We made it up, but now looking at the height of the tree, it would be a bit scary to go down.

Xie Yan saw what she was thinking, so he opened his arms generously: "Beg me, and I will catch you."

Xia Wan rolled her eyes and refused: "No need."

The young man under the tree frowned slightly, but said aggrievedly: "Why don't you want to beg me? Do you hate me so much? Then I beg you, can you beg me?"

Although he said that Xia Wan should beg him, he actually begged Xia Wan first.

Xia Wan: "..."

She didn't want to beg for thanks.

But can Xie Nian stop rocking against the tree when he's being coquettish? He does it on purpose!

So Xia Wan sneered and said, "Stop shaking. I beg you to catch me."

Hearing this, Xie De was satisfied.

He raised one corner of his lip, opened his arms again, and said, "Jump down."

Xia Wan confirmed with him again: "Will you really catch me instead of suddenly dodging?"

Xie hates to deny: "I am definitely not that kind of person."

Xia Wan: "You swear."

Xie Yan was stunned for a moment, but still said: "I swear."

So, Xia Wan began to adjust her body's center of gravity and even moved the direction in which she was standing.

Yes, she stood up, then squatted down again to keep her balance.

Stretch your arms straight, swing them back and forth, speed up——

It is the preparation for standing jump.

Xie was disgusted by the stiffness of his originally playful expression and said, "Xia Mu, what do you want to do?"

Xia Wan said arrogantly, "What? Xie Ni, are you scared?"

"Impossible." Xie took a step back and found a more suitable position to catch Xia Wan. An even more exaggerated smile appeared on his face, as if he had been looking forward to it for a long time. He said in an encouraging tone: "Jump down."

Xia Wan: "..."

Is he really crazy?

If she really jumped down like this, she would probably smash Xie Pen directly into the hospital.

And at this moment, the system suddenly spoke.

[Ding~ Congratulations... Uh no, reminding the host]

【1/4 of the mission has been completed】

Xia Wan was stunned.

ah???

Can this strategy level be regressed?

The system replied.

[Yes, host. The progress of the conquest is by no means a one-time thing, so please do not neglect the characters you have successfully conquered.]

Xia Wan had no expression on her face.

Two became one, so a traitor appeared between Wei Chiyan and Jiang Yushi.

Which of these two bastards was the weak-minded one who was instigated by the villain and suddenly stopped considering her as a friend?

Who is it? Who is it? ? ? Don’t let her find out!!!

Looking at Xie Ran, who was also her unfinished target under the tree, and thinking that he might be the most difficult one to deal with, Xia Wan became more and more angry.

So she jumped down, deliberately exerted force, bent her knees, and attacked Xie's waist and abdomen first.

Can't you just be friends with her? What the hell are you doing?

It was impossible for Xie Fan to stand under such a strong impact, and he was thrown to the ground by Xia Wan.

At this moment, Xie's back was pressed against the ground, which was covered with dirt and gravel.

Although his brows were wrinkled instinctively because of the pain, his lower face showed a smile in contrast.

At the moment of being knocked down, Xie Yan did not forget to reach out and protect Xia Wan's head and pressed it against his chest, and his other hand held her shoulders to prevent her from getting hurt.

Xie Hsun let out a muffled groan in pain and slowly let go of her hand after making sure it was safe.

Xia Wan put her hand on Xie Ni's abdomen, trying to support her body.

However, when she saw the boy's face turn pale and his head to one side, she felt a strange sense of guilt.

She seemed angry and disgusted.

At this moment, the system sound rang again.

[Ding~ Congratulations to the host]

【2/4 of the mission completed】

Xia Wan: “……???”

She got up as fast as she could in her life, took several steps back, and kept a distance from Xie, looking at him as if he were a madman.

Wait, calm down, calm down for a fucking minute!

What the fuck is going on???

Did Xie Ni develop a friendship with her or...

I remembered that Xie had said before that he liked me in a joking tone.

Ahh ...

The author has something to say:

Wanwan: Let’s go and climb Mount Kongtong. (No offense to the BL community)

——

The current status of these four people in Wanwan's heart——

Song Zhili: Very reliable.

Jiang Yushi: Relatively reliable.

Wei Chiyan: Very outrageous.

Xie Hate: The outrageous mother opened the door for the outrageous one, and the outrageous one reached home.
