Chapter 75 Truly worthy of the name Shi Ye

In the dead of night, all was quiet. Bright moonlight pierced through the sparse treetops, casting dappled shadows.

After finally arriving at their destination, Tang Nian slowly loosened the sleeves that were tightly holding Shi Ye's clothes.

Tang Nian frowned slightly and asked, "Now can you tell me why you chose to come in the middle of the night? And why did you stand outside my window to scare me!"

She paused briefly, gave a slightly disgruntled snort, and continued, "You truly live up to the name 'Nighttime,' always appearing in the middle of the night. Is there some special connection between you and the dead of night?"

After all, people can be quite frightening, especially in the dead of night.

Recalling the terrifying scene outside the window, Tang Nian still felt lingering fear and couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

No, she was determined to correct Shi Ye's bad habit.

Faced with Tang Nian's questioning, Shi Ye seemed a little embarrassed and unconsciously touched his nose, explaining, "Actually, I originally planned to sneak in during the day."

"However, I sensed the presence of a Title Douluo in your academy, and I was worried about causing unnecessary trouble, so I decided to wait until he left before coming here."

Tang Nian was slightly taken aback, and she already understood who the titled Douluo Shi Ye was talking about was—it was Dugu Bo.

Tang Nian retorted irritably, "What are you afraid of? Aren't you a Title Douluo too?"

Shi Ye sighed deeply and said with feigned sadness, "It's a pity that my family doesn't allow me to show my face easily. Otherwise, why do you think I'm still unknown despite my great talent?"

Tang Nian paused slightly. She didn't often hear Shi Ye talk about his family, and even when he did, it was only for a few words.

But this only fueled Tang Nian's curiosity even more. Perhaps it's human nature to be curious. "How could this be? Logically, your talent is a good thing, so why hide it?"

Shi Ye smiled but didn't say anything.

Tang Nian asked casually, and seeing that he wouldn't answer, she gave up.

The two walked side by side in the forest. Not far away was a bench, and they wondered if Liu Erlong had moved it there before.

Tang Nian walked straight over and waved to Shi Ye, her voice soft, "Come here quickly."

Moonlight shone on Tang Nian's face, her beautiful eyes sparkling, her smile enchanting. Shi Ye was slightly taken aback, then walked over and sat down beside Tang Nian. His voice was very soft, "I heard that you were captured by Senior Dugu some time ago. Did he make things difficult for you?"

Tang Nian was taken aback, looking at Shi Ye with some suspicion, "How come you seem to know everything?"

"I'm just well-informed. I also know that the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament is about to begin. Has your Shrek Academy registered?"

Tang Nian nodded. "I've signed up."

Shi Ye said with a serious expression, "You need to be careful. Your talent is too good, and you may attract resentment from others."

Tang Nian paused slightly and frowned. She couldn't understand why Shi Ye and Dugu Bo were telling her to be careful of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament. Wasn't it just a competition?

What's there to be careful about?

But Tang Nian still nodded obediently, "I understand, don't worry."

After a pause, Tang Nian asked, "How have you been lately? Is everything alright?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Ye couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Don't worry, what could possibly happen to me? Everything is going smoothly."

Tang Nian bit her lower lip and asked curiously, "Then what are you doing in Tiandou City? When we parted in Soto City, I thought it would be a long time before I would see you again. I didn't expect to see you again so soon."

Shi Ye lowered his head, his expression somewhat somber, and slowly said, "Do you remember the sister I mentioned to you before? She's right here. This time, because of some family matters, the elders asked me to come and find her."

Tang Nian was silent for a moment. She remembered that Shi Ye had mentioned his sister, but she had also heard that their relationship was not very good.

Worried that Shi Ye might be upset about this, Tang Nian quickly changed the subject, asking with concern, "Are you hungry now?"

Shi Ye was stunned, staring blankly at Tang Nian, wondering why she suddenly asked this question.

Tang Nian explained, "There's a restaurant in Tiandou City that has pretty good food. If you're hungry, I'll take you there to try it."

Upon hearing this, Shi Ye smiled and nodded, saying, "Then thank you very much, Niannian."

……

Although it was late at night, Tiandou City was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

Tang Nian quietly slipped away from the academy with Shi Ye and led him straight to a restaurant in the city.

The restaurant is located in a remote alley in Tiandou City. It is difficult for ordinary people to find it without someone familiar with the area. However, despite its remote location, the restaurant is very popular and attracts many people who come from far and wide.

After Tang Nian and Shi Ye entered the store, they found a seat by the window. Tang Nian reached out and handed the menu to Shi Ye, saying with a smile, "Take a look and see what you want to eat."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Shi Ye didn't stand on ceremony with her. He took the menu and looked at it carefully. He found that the restaurant had a wide variety of dishes and the prices were reasonable, so he casually ordered a few of his favorite dishes.

The shop owner took the menus from the two of them, asked them to wait a moment, and then quickly left.

Tang Nian looked at Shi Ye and said, "Don't let the small size of this place fool you, the food here is really good. I was amazed the first time I tried it."

As for how Tang Nian discovered this place, it was all thanks to Ma Hongjun, that foodie, who searched and found it. Afterwards, he brought them here to eat a few times, and Tang Nian remembered it.

Shi Ye smiled and said softly, "Then I'll eat more later."

Tang Nian didn't notice that there were two people wearing black cloaks that covered their faces standing on the street corner outside the restaurant.

"Old Ghost, what kind of life are we living? The young master and that little girl are eating and drinking like madmen inside, while the two of us are out keeping watch."

"Alright, Yue Guan, our duty is to protect the young master. We don't need to worry about anything else." As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach rumbled.

The two exchanged a glance, a hint of embarrassment flashing in their eyes.

"Old Ghost, why don't we go in and get something to eat?"

The other person hesitated, "Isn't this a bad idea? What if the young master finds out? We've been derelict in our duties, and that could get us into serious trouble."

"Following the young master, you'll go hungry five times in three days. Forget everything else, just tell me, are you hungry right now?"

The man hesitated for a moment, glanced at the person beside him, then turned to look at the brightly lit restaurant, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go in and have something to eat."

"That's right, young master. He never mistreats us. As the saying goes, everyone has to go to the bathroom sometimes, and there's nothing we can do about it."

The two of them brainwashed themselves.

I went to the hospital for a check-up today. The report came out too slowly, hence the late update. Sorry.
