After Gu Li got off the bus, He Shiyi's words kept echoing in her mind.
"Sorry, I almost forgot, the ring must have a lot of meaning for you."
A rare hint of annoyance appeared in He Shiyi's eyes: "If you mind, I'll make another medium."
Gu Li instinctively shouted, "It's alright! No need to trouble yourself!"
She quickened her pace and walked ahead of He Shiyi, entering the building first. The few people standing in the shadows looked at the distance between them and sighed in unison.
Levi watched He Shiyi walk over calmly with a meaningful look, and then said sarcastically, "Oh~ double insurance?"
Lan Meng touched the crystal ball and squinted: "I don't quite remember, so I made a ring?"
Lancer crossed his arms and looked him up and down for a moment: "You turned around?"
As He Shiyi passed by the group, he paused slightly. From Gu Li's perspective, all that could be seen was the slight upturn of the young man's lips.
The three of them, Lancer and his companions, were pinned to the spot by the oppressive feeling of being so well controlled. Cold sweat poured down their backs, and they almost couldn't hold on any longer and their tentacles burst out.
He Shiyi's long, slender hand emerged from his pocket and extended in front of the three of them. The faint glint of cold light in his eyes made Levi's eyes widen.
He took a step back, sweating profusely. "Seriously? We've known each other for so long, it was just a joke. You're not serious, are you?!"
The pale, large hand slowly opened, revealing a flash of cold light. Several whooshing sounds rang out simultaneously, piercing through the hair of the group and embedding them into the wall behind them.
He Shiyi smirked, "This is for you guys."
The few gleaming lights deeply embedded in the wall were actually several gemstone-encrusted rings, their grand appearance also adorned with obsidian, clearly designed with the wearer's needs in mind.
Gu Li sensed something was wrong and returned, looking at them suspiciously: "What's going on with you?"
Levi snapped out of his daze and cleared his throat: "I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
He turned and went upstairs as if nothing had happened. As he passed Gu Li, he affectionately patted the top of her head and said, "We'll have dinner at Cen Xingbang's house tonight."
Gu Li stared blankly at his slightly hurried back, then nodded blankly.
Lancer gritted his teeth, making a sharp sound, and whispered as he passed He Shiyi, "You're something else, I really misjudged you!"
He Shiyi, that scumbag, actually dared to toy with Gu Li's feelings!
Lancer, showing great loyalty, took his brother with him and fled. As they left, he didn't forget to remove the ring from the wall.
Lan Meng greeted Gu Li, but before Gu Li could respond, his older brother pulled him and made him stumble. By the time he realized what was happening, he had already been taken onto the elevator.
Lancer loudly warned his younger brother, "He Shiyi is not the same He Shiyi as before. We must keep our distance from him. I will always support Gu Li, the leader of the Eleventh Army!"
Lanmeng held the ring in his hand and examined it carefully for a while, then revealed an expression of "I knew it," and rolled his eyes at Lancer.
"I think you should still be careful, lest he turn you into a squid ring before that happens!"
Without even glancing at Lancer's expression, he walked straight into the conference room, casually putting the ring on his hand.
As Lan Meng entered the conference room, his gaze subtly swept over everyone's hands, and one familiar ring after another caught his eye. He smirked and sat down.
Cen Xingbang, who was organizing the documents at the front, pushed up his glasses: "Where are they?"
Levi, who was the last to enter, put his legs up on the table and fiddled with the ring on his finger: "Probably dating?"
After these words were spoken, the large conference room fell silent for a moment.
Cecil's eyes lit up as he exchanged a glance with Lucy, then he suddenly jumped up and looked at Levi: "Who? Dating? Those two old guys are openly flirting here!?"
Lucy cupped her face in her hands, looking at Levi expectantly.
The meeting room became quieter.
Lancer coughed loudly a few times, trying to cover up his mistake and defend Gu Li's innocence: "How could anyone be dating here? Levi, you must be mistaken."
Levi swung his legs, which were resting on the table, and raised an eyebrow.
The faint sound of the elevator arriving could be heard outside the door, followed by the sound of footsteps, one after the other, which sounded particularly clear in the quiet atmosphere of the conference room.
A slightly uncomfortable female voice came through: "Thank you, I meant the ring and the hairband. I know you were worried about us."
He Shiyi's cool and calm voice came: "It's nothing, just something I did. Everyone has one, don't overthink it."
Gu Li visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and her voice became lively again: "Of course I have to thank you! You actually managed to get the management rights of District One from those guys so quickly!"
Immediately afterwards, He Shiyi's light, nonchalant laughter echoed down the corridor.
Lancer smirked and his fingers flew across the communicator.
