"So..."

Mo Tan held the phone tightly, his knuckles turning white from excessive force, and he gritted his teeth and said angrily to the person on the other side, "You mean, while you were buying two ice creams, you accidentally got lost in the mall and got on the bus back to school, and before you drove, your phone had no signal because you accidentally turned on airplane mode, right?"

Cui Xiaoyu on the other end of the phone nodded happily and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes!"

"Yes to your third uncle!"

Mo Tan clutched his phone in frustration and said angrily, "You ordered dinner, didn't you? A hot pot for six people! Let's not talk about whether we can finish it or not, you haven't paid yet!"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I just realized that I accidentally ordered a couple's meal. It's a good thing that you two didn't get lost with us, so why don't you just finish eating before leaving."

Cui Xiaoyu gave a very serious explanation whose credibility was close to zero, and said cheerfully: "Let me tell you, this restaurant is very difficult to book. I had a hard time getting such a prime time. Although I chose the wrong meal because I was too hasty, you two have to eat to make up for the cost. Of course, you pay the bill."

Mo Tan was shocked at the time: "Where's your face?!"

"I forgot to take my pants out of my pocket when I took them to the cleaners yesterday."

Cui Xiaoyu chuckled, and before Mo Tan could further express his emotions, he spoke quickly: "Besides, I am a poor man with negative assets now. My monthly mortgage payment is several times my pocket money. How can you, a debt-free young man who just made a fortune in the team competition, have the nerve to argue with me over such a small amount of money!"

Mo Tan: "...Do you think this is a matter of money?"

"What's the problem? What's the problem? Hello? Is the signal bad? I can't hear you, hello, hello, hello?"

The next second, a noise that was obviously caused by human interference came from the other side, and Cui Xiaoyu's voice gradually began to become intermittent: "Anyway...we will send the food back to the medical school...you two can come back after you finish eating. If there is a curfew, just find a place outside...to live. Toot-toot-toot——"

Finally, after a burst of silent sound, the call was hung up.

"I swear."

Mo Tan sighed deeply, put his phone, which had been on speakerphone, back into his pocket, turned to Yu Chen, who was standing next to him. Today, he was wearing a black and white outfit (black short-sleeved shirt, white shorts, black tights, and white canvas shoes), and gave him a bitter smile that was uglier than crying: "This matter has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

"Pfft~"

Yu Chen covered her mouth and chuckled, smiling: "I know, after all, Hei Fan, you are eager to keep a distance from me, it is impossible for you to do such a thing."

"..."

Mo Tan's expression froze, and he said awkwardly, "You think too much. Well, since Xiaoyu has already booked a seat, then let's..."

"Let's go eat. I've always wanted to try this hot pot restaurant."

Yu Chen smiled sweetly, with a faint blush on her cheeks: "As for the couple's meal or something... Anyway, everyone has misunderstood us in the game for almost a year, so this time won't make a difference..."

"Uh, oh, well, yes—!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Tan, who had rarely remained in an absolutely neutral state for a long time today, naturally did not dare to have any opinions. He hurriedly snatched the handbag from Yu Chen's hand as if it were a robbery. The handbag was not heavy at all and contained only wet wipes, power banks, OK bandaids, motion sickness pills, and police anti-wolf spray (a birthday gift from Mo Tan in June), and ran in the opposite direction of a popular hot pot restaurant.

Yu Chen skillfully jogged two steps to catch up with Mo Tan, grabbed the latter's wrist and pulled gently, pulling him back to the right track after realizing belatedly that he had gone in the wrong direction again.

So, here comes the problem——

What's going on here?
The answer is actually very simple. Yu Chen and Nangong Na, who have been interning at the medical school in their spare time, were assigned a simple purchasing task by the department instructor. Since it had nothing to do with medical equipment, medicines and the like, and was simply a simple internal reserve of food, coffee and snacks, even interns were fully capable of doing the task.

However, due to the large workload, the department instructor suggested that they bring in more labor, such as a few seniors who have completed enough credits, are handsome, knowledgeable, tall and strong.

However, considering that someone might be seriously unhappy and that he was not good at getting along with strangers, Yu Chen did not choose those seniors who wanted to go shopping with the two beautiful junior sisters and have dinner together. Instead, he directly called Mo Tan, who had no classes today and was at home planning how to challenge a huge dark organization, and asked politely if he could accompany him and Nangong Na to go shopping and carry a bag or something.

Considering that Mo Tan was in a state of confused neutrality at the time, he rejected the invitation without hesitation and introduced the strong Huo Yanyang, Cui Xiaoyu and others to work as slaves.

In desperation, Yu Chen directly sent a message in the group, asking everyone if they were free to go shopping together and buy some things, and also @ed a few girls individually.

After that, Ji Xiaoge gave feedback immediately, saying that he also planned to buy some ingredients and they could form a team together.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Xiaodao, who was probably not in the same room with her but had set his sister as a 'special attention', immediately responded with a concise 'I'll go too'.

Gu Xiaole said that although she wanted to go very much, her partner in Japan was going crazy waiting for the original drawings, so she had to hurry up and finish the manuscript at home. Moreover, today happened to be the day when Yi Dong and his father went to the company for an internship, so she could chat with her aunt, who was also a left-behind child, about ladies' hobbies. She vowed to set the story between the beautiful boys and beautiful boys in the original drawings to perfection.

As for the boys' group, apart from Yi Dong who went to the company for an internship with his father and Mo Tan who had set his phone to 'Do Not Disturb' early on, Kang Lan couldn't go because he had classes today. Wan Yang and Cui Xiaoyu volunteered to go over and help.

Cui Xiaoyu is a simple and warm-hearted person, and in addition to being warm-hearted, Wan Yang also wants to learn more about his sweetheart from Yu Chen and Nangong Na.

By the way, although they are just friends at present, considering that their circles of friends overlap, they have also added each other as friends in the game, and they are also quite satisfied with each other's personality and appearance, so in the view of Mo Tan and others, if they can continue to develop step by step, there is a great chance that the two will get closer.

In fact, after being harmed by a girl in the Holy Mountain of Sumir who had bewitched several old guys and wanted to raise her as their own granddaughter, Wan Yang took advantage of the fact that his mentor had no time to take care of him and applied for some training down the mountain. As a result, the kind and strict High Priest Mondo Pan approved his application for some unknown reason. By the time the old man reacted, Wan Yang had already fled to the northwest continent and successfully joined the [Beautiful Girl Mercenary Group].

Of course, this guy wouldn't shamelessly hang out with a bunch of girls. In fact, after simply strolling around a night market with Yu Na (Casena), Wan Yang said goodbye and left, heading eastwards towards the Elf Forest in the central area of the continent. The reason for this was that Changpan Studio had made a strong invitation to him through Kang Lan, and eventually, by using both emotional appeals and courtesy (without a doubt), they successfully persuaded Wan Yang to lend a hand during the conquest of the limited-time secret realm.

However, as far as Mo Tan knows, the main reason why Wan Yang agreed to go to the Great Secret Realm to help, in addition to the enthusiastic invitation from [Changpan], is that the Beautiful Girl Mercenary Group where Yu Na is located has already accepted the employment of the [Yingyingyan] Club and is preparing to go to the limited-time Great Secret Realm as foreign aid in mid-November to help.

In other words, although it is impossible to sneak in to see the two girls, Yingyingyan and Yu Na, but according to the verbal agreement between Wanyang and the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of Changpan, the star player 'Adu', the latter will try his best to facilitate the two sides to fight side by side in the process.

The above is the current situation of Wan Yang and Yu Chen’s group of girlfriends.

Besides this, there is one more thing worth mentioning:

That is, five minutes after Cui Xiaoyu and Wan Yang agreed to go and help, Nangong Na received a call saying that a senior in the department had fallen ill, and the illness happened to be related to her major, so the teacher called more than 30 students, including her, to observe and she could not go together.

Yu Chen, who had anticipated this, said hello in the group after reluctantly seeing her best friend off, then simply changed into a multi-fabric outfit that someone liked and went out.

then……

She arrived half an hour early and met Mo Tan, who had washed her face, brushed her teeth, changed her clothes, and rushed to the entrance of the mall ten minutes before the agreed time. After that, the subtle atmosphere that could make the onlookers smile lasted for about five minutes. The Ji sisters, Wan Yang, and Cui Xiaoyu also arrived at the mall one after another, and the scene became lively.

Just like that, a vigorous and thrilling shopping trip (because Ji Xiaoge plunged into the fresh fruit and vegetable area) began. After the shopping was completed, Cui Xiaoyu and others, who had agreed to go to the third floor to buy ice cream and asked Mo Tan and Yu Chen to go to the hot pot restaurant on the fourth floor to wait first, disappeared.

Although Cui said that he was "lost", but -

"Except for Hei Fan, anyone else using this reason would be somewhat unconvincing."

In the couple booth in the corner of the hot pot restaurant, Yu Chen, who was sitting almost next to Mo Tan due to the layout, smiled and said playfully, "At least 'I lost my way on the way to buy ice cream and accidentally walked into the bus that could take me back to school' is not very convincing~"

Mo Tan slapped himself on the forehead and said resentfully: "Even if it were me, I wouldn't get lost and get on a bus on the way to buy ice cream!"

Yu Chen nodded and agreed seriously: "Yes, you should have realized it before getting in the car..."

Mo Tan: "..."

"Hey, just kidding. I know you'll get lost on the floor where you can buy ice cream."

Yu Chen stuck out her tongue, then stood up and deftly put duck blood into the tomato pot while chuckling, "Well, since we are here, we should make the best of it. Since classmate Xiaoyu has made such an effort to order it, we should just obey your order. Hei Fan wants the mushroom pot, right?"

Although he had no impression of eating hotpot together, Mo Tan, who had a perfect grasp of the other party's appetite, nodded, and then hurriedly put the vegetables into Yu Chen's favorite tomato pot. As a result, he almost knocked the plate away because of his excessive movement, and the two ears covered by his temples began to turn red.

"By the way, it would be nice if Yi Dong was here."

The girl smiled sweetly, sat back obediently, and handed the task of serving the dishes to Mo Tan. She said slowly, "If it was him, he wouldn't let you, Hei Fan, fall into this awkward situation, right?"

Mo Tan sighed, and before adding the meat, he scooped out a bowl of relatively pure soup and placed it in front of Yu Chen, shaking his head and saying, "I don't feel embarrassed, it's just..."

"You're just worried that I'd be embarrassed, right?"

Yu Chen picked up the small white bowl in front of him, sipped the mushroom soup which lived up to the difficulty of ordering it, and said softly: "After all, only the two of us know that the real situation is quite different from everyone's speculation. Rather than saying that Hei Fan likes me, it's better to say that I-"

"Do not."

Mo Tan, who rarely interrupted Yu Chen, shook his head and shrugged, saying, "I think the real situation is not much different from everyone's guess. It's just that no one could have expected that I was an incorrigible jerk."

Yu Chen wrinkled his nose and said seriously: "The ancients said it well, words like 'hopeless' are forbidden in front of doctors!"

"The ancients never said such a thing."

Mo Tan casually exposed the other party's harmless little lie, and said to the lover beside him who had a good impression of him, but also knew that he had no feelings for him, and even knew that he had a very good impression of him, "I'm going to say something stupid that will be struck by thunder... I can't get over this hurdle of mine, and I can't bear to stay at home like this. In fact, I've always hoped that you would see through the nature of this scumbag me first."

"Oh."

Yu Chen drank another mouthful of soup, turned to Mo Tan and said with a smile: "Ask a question——"

"Yes~"

"Hei Fan, what kind of person do you think His Majesty Luke Tifilo is?"

"He is completely hopeless. His only advantage besides his fighting ability is his looks, which have long since abandoned him. He is a terrible rotten person."

"Then do you think Sister Xia Lian has seen through the true nature of this rotten man, His Majesty Tifilo?"

"..."

"What's the answer?"

"Given Her Highness Xia Lian's brain, which is as rough as a dead nerve ending, I have every reason to believe that..."

"What's the truth?"

"If I can see it, how could that woman not see it?"

"Well, do you think I see through your true nature as a scumbag?"

"..."

"Okay, now that what you expected has been realized, what next?"

"……do not know."

"do not know?"

"do not know."
