You're sending max-level players to be cannon fodder?

The bar didn't offer breakfast, so Zhong Xun asked the waiter to bring out two plates of snacks. Li Mi ate them quickly with some tea.

"Have something to eat first, then I'll treat you to lunch later," Zhong Xun said.

Li Mi waved his hand but still accepted the card. His family business was in dire straits, and his father was so anxious that he couldn't sleep. Today, Li Mi was willing to do anything, even if it meant causing trouble for Qi Tian or groveling before Zhong Xun, as long as it solved this urgent problem.

Not to mention, it was Brother Zhong who came to terms with it.

"Brother, don't try to take it from me this time, it's on me," Li Mi said earnestly.

Zhong Xun: "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Li Mi laughed even harder.

Seeing that it was almost time, Li Mi called the waiter to settle the bill. After swiping his card, he turned around and was stunned.

The ambient light above his head rotated gently, and when the warm light fell on Brother Zhong's face, Li Mi felt that he was simply a combination of the goddess of beauty and the goddess of love. Admittedly, he had never read any mythological stories, but as soon as the light dimmed slightly, Brother Zhong's exquisite and flawless face inexplicably showed a bit of a monstrous appearance.

Chung Gor has changed so much.

Perhaps it is true that seeing through hatred can make a person grow overnight, Li Mi thought.

The restaurant reservation is ready; it's one they frequent.

Li Mi ordered a private room, and after receiving the menu, she handed it to Zhong Xun first.

Zhong Xun didn't refuse. He wasn't hungry yet, so he ordered two dishes with soup. After that, Li Mi didn't stand on ceremony and ordered all meat dishes. After the waiter left, he chuckled and said, "Brother Zhong, you're doing really well these days."

"I think it's good too," Zhong Xun added.

The two chatted about some past events. Zhong Xun had an exceptional memory and remembered all the details Li Mi mentioned. Just then, his phone vibrated.

Upon seeing the name "Meng Jingting," Zhong Xun stood up. "I'll take this call."

"Go, Brother Zhong."

Zhong Xun answered the phone only after they reached the hallway: "Hmm?"

Meng Jing, on the other end of the line, suddenly felt a tickle in her ear. She held the phone away from her ear, paused for two seconds, and then answered, "Where were you at noon?"

"Xiao Yunlou, have dinner with Li Mi."

Meng Jing quickly recognized the name and paused in his breath.

Zhong Xun guessed what he was thinking. "Don't worry, I don't have any plans to do anything to make things worse for you. I'll just have a simple meal and give him a few instructions."

"Explain what?" Meng Jing asked, his voice carrying a sense of pressure he himself was unaware of. Whether as a judge or a boss, he was used to finding the key points in lengthy conversations.

Zhong Xun didn't care much, and even indulged him, "telling him to be a good person in the future, live a down-to-earth life, and cause less trouble for Qi Tian, ​​so as not to become a minor supporting character who gets slapped in the face on the road to becoming the protagonist."

  

Meng Jing was quite surprised.

After all, Zhong Xun's few "friends" couldn't form a coherent brain when they got together. They were always scheming to do bad things, and Meng Jingting would get angry just thinking about them.

"I'm not lying to you," Zhong Xun said again.

Meng Jing listened and gave a faint "hmm".

Since the call had come, Zhong Xun wasn't going to waste it. He changed the subject, "What time do you get off work?"

Meng Jingting: "...It's hard to say."

"Okay, I'll contact you then," Zhong Xun said gently.

"Um."

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Xun stared at the screen and smiled. This awkwardness was just like when he was a child.

"Zhong Xun, what are you doing here?" A surprised voice, tinged with hostility, asked.

Zhong Xun didn't move his feet, he just turned his body slightly.

It was actually a lazy posture with a hint of disdain. He was 1.82 meters tall, a head taller than the other person. When he focused his gaze slightly out of the corner of his eye, it sent chills down one's spine.

The opponent was a perceptive Omega, and took a half step back.

Oh, he's Qi Tian's good friend, what's his name...?

"Hututu?"

The other person's expression froze, then he flew into a rage: "Call me Hu Yu!"

Okay, call me whatever you want.

Hu Yu sized Zhong Xun up and down. He had only briefly met Zhong Xun at Qi Tian's engagement banquet... well, actually he had seen him, but hadn't recognized him. At the time, Hu Yu had even said to his friends, "If Zhong Xun dares to cause trouble today, I'll make sure he comes in upright and leaves horizontally! Speaking of which, this guy is usually incredibly proactive in causing trouble, so why isn't he here yet for this occasion?"

Then he heard a complex sigh from his friend, and felt a gentle pat on the shoulder as his friend pointed to him: "That one, Zhong Xun."

Hu Yu followed the direction and saw a tall, handsome young man helping a seven or eight-year-old girl pick up a fallen windmill. He had one hand in his pocket, exuding an indescribable elegance.

Hu Yu was fooled by the other person's height and his mind went blank: "Who brought him? Alpha or Beta?"

My friend sighed again, a sigh that surprisingly carried a hint of shared sorrow: "Zhong Xun, Zhong Xun!"

Hu Yu: "..."

Hu Yu was shocked and incredulous. He then became furious and, naturally, he wouldn't give Zhong Xun a friendly look when they met again today.

"Of course I came here to eat," Zhong Xun said calmly.

Previously, when the puppets saw anyone related to Qi Tian, ​​they were like cats whose tails had been stepped on. Following procedure, they would immediately attack Hu Yu. But Zhong Xun didn't want to bother with them; it was boring.

When he climbed out of the abyss, these provocations and attacks seemed like children playing house.

Hu Yu sneered upon hearing this: "Which bastard are you plotting with this time to harm Xiao Tian?"

Then, in Zhong Xun's eyes, Hu Yu degenerated and became a little white dog that kept barking.

"You should spend less time with Qi Tian," Zhong Xun said. "It'll affect your IQ."

Hu Yu: "?"

Are they not even going to act anymore?

There used to be a prelude, now it's just taunting? And in such a calm yet infuriating tone!

Hu Yu was furious: "You..."

"On your lips." Zhong Xun pointed to the corner of his mouth. "There are grains of rice."

Hu Yu couldn't possibly believe his nonsense, but as a respectable Omega, he still subconsciously touched it, and actually touched a grain of rice.

"I can't talk to you anymore, I have something to do." Zhong Xun smiled.

This scene was like a slow-motion shot; Hu Yu could even see the sunlight spreading out in a small circle along his delicate and exquisite features.

You despicable scoundrel! You actually used your beauty...

Wait, where did Zhong Xun get his beauty from?

"Damn it!" Hu Yu was so angry he wanted to stomp his feet.

Before Zhong Xun could enter, Hu Yu asked, "What were you and Su Shengjie doing at Xiao Tian's engagement party?"

Su Shengjie?

Oh, the first person the mental tentacles used as practice targets.

But Zhong Xun still looked puzzled. "I'm not familiar with him. We didn't even meet that day, right?"

Hu Yu couldn't detect any guilt on his face, so it didn't seem like he was faking it. "After the engagement banquet, Su Shengjie was found at the bottom of a cliff. Falling and getting injured is nothing to an Alpha like him, but Su Shengjie's pheromones went berserk, and he was practically insane. The Su family was furious and reviewed all the surveillance footage. In the end, they found out that he had gone missing with you."

Zhong Xun shook his head: "I don't know. I went to the back slope to clear my head, but I didn't see him."

Hu Yu scoffed lightly: "I don't care about you."
