"Why is it so slow... Hmm? What is this?"

Xu Yan and An Lulu arrived at the place to eat one after the other.

Just as Wen Xueyu was about to complain about the boy's inexplicable disappearance, her attention was immediately drawn to the huge bag that Xu Yan was holding.

And behind Xu Yan is An Lulu, who is holding a teddy bear plush toy.

This couldn't possibly have been brought by An Lulu herself. She didn't have it before, so how come she brought back a doll after going to the restroom... Is the restroom having a promotion?

Xu Yan placed the bag on the table where food was already piled up, and then said very naturally, "I saw this on the road when I came over, and played with it for a bit. I didn't expect it to be so easy, so I made a doll for each of you girls."

An Lulu's lips twitched slightly behind her. It was indeed quite easy... four out of five. She really wanted to know why almost no one played at that stall with such a high probability. So it seemed that... the mechanism was not the problem, but the people playing it were.

Upon hearing Xu Yan's words, the girls became excited. Zhang Yawen hadn't understood before, but after spending the afternoon together, she gained a basic understanding of Xu Yan.

She is a very lively girl, even somewhat boyish in personality, and speaks more boldly than Ma Jiamin.

But he takes great care of his friends, and it feels like there's no ambiguity involved; they can become buddies right away.

"That's amazing! Xu Yan, you're too kind. Which one is for me?" Zhang Yawen asked excitedly.

"Do you like this?" Xu Yan took out the milk dragon, which An Lulu said she would like.

Zhang Yawen was indeed very happy. The first thing she did after picking up the milk dragon was to put it on a chair and punch it hard twice.

Wow, so that's what he likes? But this yellowish-brown dragon looks pretty annoying.

"This is for Sister Ma."

Xu Yan handed the My Little Pony to Ma Jiamin. Although Ma Jiamin had never said that she liked this kind of thing, she was still in a good mood when she saw this "meaningful" doll. She smiled and took it, saying, "Old Xu really put his heart into it."

After saying that, she turned to look at Qin Yifan, who was already eating beef skewers, and said, "Look at him, all he does is eat!"

Qin Yifan: ...

Damn it, that old bastard Xu Yan tricked me. Didn't I say I had a stomachache? What's the meaning of this?

Do men feel anything when there's a problem inside them? There are male prostitutes!

Only Wen Xueyu remains.

As Xu Yan kept taking out dolls for her companion, she began to look forward to it, and eventually couldn't contain herself any longer.

She placed her hands on her pressed-together, fair legs, her fingers involuntarily applying slight pressure.

Her big, blinking eyes were fixed on the bag in Xu Yan's hand. At that moment, she felt like he was Doraemon, wondering what he would pull out next.

It seems like I'm the only one left who's missing. What could it be? Will he know my preferences?

Whether you like it or not isn't that important... People are happy when they receive gifts, and it probably doesn't matter who gave it to them... After all, it represents how much the recipient values and cares about you.

Before even taking the item out, Wen Xueyu seemed to have already thought of many things.

Until Xu Yan took out an adorable Hello Kitty.

Although she may no longer be a popular character in this era, her adorable image is still deeply ingrained in people's hearts. The corners of the girl's eyes immediately turned up, and her big eyes sparkled like the morning stars in the sky.

"This is so cute!"

"Take it then, this must be the cutest doll in that area."

"Thank you~"

Seeing Wen Xueyu's eyes light up as she took the doll, she hugged it tightly, making no attempt to hide her delight.

Zhang Zhiwen almost chewed the barbecue skewers to pieces. How come he never thought of this trick?

Xu Yan, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, doesn't look like someone who's never been in a relationship. Right now, all the girls are looking at him differently. It's infuriating!

But there were no other options. It wasn't that he hadn't seen the stalls, but at the time, all he could think about was:

Is it worth playing this kind of money-grabbing scheme? The odds seem good, but the boss won't lose anything; it's a game with no cost-effectiveness.

However, they completely overlooked the fact that girls may not care whether it's worth it or not; emotional value sometimes trumps everything else.

The moment Xu Yan sat down with a smile.

[Unlock Achievement: Sharing the Rain and Dew]

[Reward: 10 achievement points and 2000 RMB cash!]

What a generous system! I got 2000 for just 20 yuan. Amazing!

My savings are almost 80,000 now, and my progress in the second-tier achievement system has reached 80/200, so there's a lot to look forward to.

The feeling of completing all achievements in a single-player game is quite wonderful. As for whether this "gamelike" aspect "losses the sense of realism"... Xu Yan's idea is simple: pursuing both material and spiritual wealth at the same time is quite difficult, and it's an activity that requires both.

Moreover, I am quite satisfied with this kind of life now, even though sometimes I can smell the scent of things getting out of control.

But who doesn't constantly take risks in their life? After all, there is no utopia or Eden in reality, and no carefree life exists.

Xu Yan sat down and started drinking his beverage and eating his skewers. Wen Xueyu, sitting next to him, chewed slowly, but her eyes were secretly glancing at Xu Yan.

I feel like something's different about him since he came back...

It looks the same, but the hair looks like it was just washed, and were the jeans the same style before...?

The sweltering winds subsided as time passed and the sky darkened, bringing a sense of coolness.

This open-air space became quite comfortable and pleasant.

Not far away, music and lights could be heard from some kind of event or performance. They were far away, like the crowd sitting on the outskirts, gazing at the mountains in the distance.

The comfort made Xu Yan want to close his eyes.

"The breeze feels so nice right now."

No one knows when, but Wen Xueyu, who was sipping coconut juice, moved a folding chair next to the boy.

Some people were playing on their phones, and some were taking pictures, so it seemed that no one was paying attention to their behavior for the time being.

Actually, they weren't that close; at least the armrests of the two chairs weren't touching.

"Yes, it's much cooler than during the day."

"I heard it's going to get colder in two days, wrong."

"Yeah, when we meet at school, we'll probably both be wearing long sleeves."

After Xu Yan finished speaking with a smile, he instinctively glanced down and saw the girl's long, slender legs, which were still dazzlingly white even in the dim light, beneath her blue dress.

Although Wen Xueyu is not as tall as Ye Shutong, she has a perfect figure, especially when she sits down and stretches out her legs.

Of course, after being glanced at so casually by Xu Yan, the girl immediately curled up her long legs awkwardly, her face slightly flushed as she said angrily, "What are you looking at..."

Just as Jiamin said, boys like summer precisely because of this slight chill...

Xu Yan coughed twice, adjusted his expression, and spoke with righteous indignation, "I was just worried you'd be cold at this time of year. It's just a skirt... what if you catch a cold?"

"Then I should thank you for caring about me!"

Wen Xueyu blushed and glared at Xu Yan.

Xu Yan shook his head. "No need to thank me, it's what I should do."

"Pah!" The girl turned her leg and lightly kicked Xu Yan's foot, barely touching it, not even as hard as when she was squeezing onto the bus. "You're just a pervert..."

"What are you saying!" Xu Yan straightened up. "What guy isn't lustful? Besides, it's not like all lustful guys are good; it's because you've gained my approval!"

"Who needs your approval?!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

After laughing and joking for a while, everyone was a bit tired. After all, they had endured the high temperatures in the afternoon and had been playing for half a day, so they had burned quite a bit of energy.

The two looked at the distant, dimly lit city from almost the same angle, and the wind blowing by seemed to carry the scent of the nearby river.

"Are you happy today?"

Wen Xueyu looked at the boy, who had remained motionless for a long time. He kept staring in that direction, seemingly lost in thought, as if he didn't care about anything around him.

Ironically, this is what makes him beautiful; the lines of his profile and his long eyelashes seem to exude a unique charm.

I didn't know what to say, but I felt I should say something, so I unconsciously asked this seemingly pointless question.

She was still holding the Hello Kitty he had given her.

Xu Yan snapped out of her reverie, pulling herself out of her reverie. "I'm happy...it's alright. After studying for so long, it's nice to have some relaxing days like this."

"I see..." Wen Xueyu nodded gently.

"I feel very happy, mistakenly."

"Don't you usually go out like this?"

"Um.

"So you'll stay home even during the holidays?"

"I also go out to eat with my parents, travel... but I rarely go out with my classmates and friends."

She responded softly, raising her eyes slightly, and of course, there was him.

"Then you can try going out more often in the future. Maybe you can become more confident and outgoing."

Xu Yan said it casually, but Wen Xueyu suddenly became nervous and concerned.

"Isn't this...good for me?"

"No, what I mean is that sometimes challenging your comfort zone can be quite fun. Of course, it's not something you have to do, but trying it occasionally might stimulate your emotions."

After all, she's a rich young lady who goes to school in a Maybach; every adventure that ordinary people take is probably insignificant to her.

"Then, what about now?" She still seemed to care a lot.

Xu Yan looked at the girl, who was slightly tense, with her delicate skin and exquisite, lovely features, and suddenly smiled.

This made Wen Xueyu blush deeply.

"What are you laughing at!"

"No, no, no..." Xu Yan's smile faded slightly. He stood up, stretched, and gave a big yawn before saying, "She's rich, has a great personality, and is so good-looking... How could such a miracle happen in my life?"

Wen Xueyu was speechless, her head down and her face flushed.

She stretched out her arms and squeezed them tightly between her legs.

This person... always likes to tease others.

One minute he's saying strange things, the next he's being glib... a liar.

When he looked up again, he was standing there, gazing at the increasingly dark night sky, his short hair blowing backward in the wind.

This further accentuated his clean and handsome face.

He's much more pleasing to the eye when he's not talking.

But this world seems to never lack handsome men and beautiful women; people with good looks often have vastly different personalities.

There are also differences in the level of interest of a soul.

What Xu Yan said...

It should be considered quite special among them, right?

Thinking this, she unconsciously hugged Hello Kitty in her arms even tighter.
