Tomb raiding: A mere 20 is nothing!

Su Wan: Ha, I'm not trying to be mean, but it felt like being electrocuted the moment we met.

Su Wan: Big brother, don't laugh at second brother.

Zhang Rishan: The issue now isn't how many minutes you had, but whether that Shen Xia was faking it.

White Snake: To be honest, there really is no flaw.

Hordorff: Physiological reactions don't lie. I went to see her dating vlogs, and it really doesn't seem like it.

Zhang Haiyan: His name is actually Shen Xia...

Wu Xie: Brother Zhang, tell me the truth, do you know him or not?

Zhang Haiyan: I don't recognize her by her face, but she always gives me a vague sense of familiarity.

Zhang Haiyan: Perhaps I was mistaken.

Qi Qiu: You're all so old, you've met countless people, who knows when you might have encountered someone's ancestor? It's not surprising that you have a bad memory and can't remember people.

[Zhang Haiyan] banned [Qi Qiu] from speaking for one day.

Liu Sang: @Li Cu, you're her brother, what didn't you find out? What didn't she tell you?

Li Chu: ...I said it.

Li Cu: She said if I dared to skip class to go to her, or if I let Su Wanyang skip class to go to her, she would dare to throw us off the 18th floor.

Su Wan: ...

Yang Hao: ...

Just then, Xie Yuchen made a major discovery.

Xie Yuchen: I've found out his identity, [file.docx]

Zhang Haike: He's from overseas, works in finance, and just recently returned to China. Hmm... I have a solution.

Zhang Rishan: What method?

Zhang Haike: I can short his stock and bankrupt him.

Zhang Qianjun: Wait! They only met once? And then they got together? What incredible luck did that kid have?

Li Chu: I don't believe it! I know the Ming Dynasty; she's definitely not such a rash person!

The chat window was then flooded with "+1".

Yes, even now, most people in the group remain skeptical.

Rather than believing that Shen Mingchao fell in love at first sight, they were more inclined to believe that this was a scheme set up by Shen Mingchao to get revenge on them.

Although they had no evidence, only by thinking this way could I feel a little better.

A distorted form of self-deception.

However, this self-deception becomes increasingly hollow as more and more "intimate" messages are shared in group chats.

They realized something.

It seems Shen Mingchao is serious this time.

Everyone knows about Shen Mingchao's recent activities from the information shared by others.

The two were very intimate and ostentatious, making no attempt to hide from onlookers.

They went on dates like normal boyfriends and girlfriends.

The two of them watched movies together, went shopping together, walked the cat together, and went home together.

For the first time, everyone in the group was so enthusiastic, sharing everything they saw and heard, afraid of missing a single detail, even recounting how two people lifted their right legs at the same time as they entered the room.

Group chat messages have become a large-scale daily routine for couples.

Everyone had the same idea.

Every single one of them in this group is bound to be caught.

If we're brothers, we'll suffer together.

Under such provocation, some people finally lost their composure.

Shen Mingchao looked at the person blocking his way.

He was tall and slender, standing there like a wall, and dressed in black, which blocked out the light.

The man was wearing sunglasses, and his face had a half-smile on it.

Shen Mingchao raised an eyebrow slightly.

Knowing full well it was a load of rubbish, I didn't intend to pretend the person didn't exist.

Shen Mingchao asked leisurely, "What brings you here, Master Hei?"

Hei Xiazi chuckled softly upon hearing this, but the laughter didn't reach his eyes.

"It's nothing major, it's just that it's been a long time since I've seen you, Blackie..."

He stopped speaking midway through his sentence.

Then he slowly let out a long sigh, as if exhaling all the frustration of the past few days.

His usually playful lips flattened slightly, his gaze darkened, and he slowly uttered three words: "I missed you."

There was no deliberate provocation, nor any glib talk.

It was just a statement, no more serious than any other.

Shen Mingchao frowned.

She could certainly tell the seriousness in Hei Xiazi's words.

It was rare to see this person with such a serious expression, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

But her expression seemed to have misled the other party.

Black Bear chuckled: "Don't you believe me?"

"I never lie to the girls I love, and I really miss you."

As he spoke, he took a step closer, bent down, and moved his sunglasses away slightly.

Pointing to his eye with his other finger, he pouted and said in a wronged tone, "See! This is proof. I really can't sleep because I miss you so much."

Shen Mingchao subconsciously looked over.

There was indeed a bluish-black tinge under Black Bear's eyes.

"so what?"

She countered with a question.

So,

Hei Xiazi straightened up, met Shen Mingchao's gaze with his missing eyes, and resumed his unreliable smile.

"My leg just wouldn't cooperate and dragged me here to see you. There's nothing I can do about it, Blackie."

Shen Mingchao remained silent for a moment.

She should have retorted with a sarcastic remark to the black bear's glib tongue, but then she noticed his peculiar eyes.

It's noticeably darker than before.

Black bear's eye condition must have worsened.

Thinking this, she couldn't say anything. She opened her mouth, but not wanting her plan to fail, she clenched her fists and avoided Hei Xiazi's gaze.

The tone was strained.

"If you have insomnia, you shouldn't be coming to me; you should be seeing a doctor."

"You shouldn't have said such ambiguous things to me." She took a step back, distancing herself from Hei Xiazi. "Don't say things like that again, I'm afraid my boyfriend will misunderstand."

"Boy friend?"

Hei Xiazi's tone became more forceful, and the three words, spoken directly from Shen Mingchao's mouth, were truly jarring.

After much deliberation, he finally forced himself to calm down, then shook his head firmly and said, "No, Ming Dynasty, don't test me like this, I won't believe you."

really.

Shen Mingchao thought to himself, these people really are the kind who won't shed a tear until they see the coffin.

Do not believe?

It seems there aren't enough bombshell revelations yet.

She heard footsteps approaching from afar, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Zhang Haixia walking out of the stairwell.

They were originally going to see a movie, but halfway there she suddenly remembered that the weather forecast said it would rain, so Zhang Haixia said he would go back to get an umbrella and asked her to wait a while.

As a result, she was met by Hei Xiazi.

"Chao Chao." Zhang Haixia called softly, walked to Shen Mingchao's side, glanced at Hei Xiazi's pale face, and asked in a low voice, "Who is this?"

"I am—" Black Bear grinned, but was interrupted by another voice halfway through his sentence.

He is one of my uncles.

Shen Mingchao speaks very quickly.

She knew who Hei Xiazi was; just by looking at that wicked smile, she could tell that this man had no good intentions.

If we don't stop him, who knows what outrageous things he might say.

Although all three are acting, Hei Xiazi is really outspoken, and things might get messy later.

"uncle?!"

Black Bear's voice suddenly rose, and he swallowed back the words "I am her childhood sweetheart" that were on the tip of his tongue.
