After disinfecting, the girl with long, straight black hair walked side by side with him on the playground, while the girl with glasses followed behind, looking lost and dejected.

People kept coming to Li Yinuo to take photos with her, but the girl politely declined them all.

Zhang Chen originally thought that by openly holding hands with a public figure, he would encounter some annoying Jiahao fans who would get angry.

Fortunately, in front of Li Yinuo, they only dared to pretend to be jogging slowly on the track, running past Zhang Chen and Li Yinuo while crying.

"What price did you pay?" Li Yinuo asked suddenly after a long silence.

“Basically none,” Zhang Chen said.

“The tree of sorrow has withered, I can’t persuade you,” she said again.

Then, the girl covered her mouth and yawned, and let go of Zhang Chen's arm. "Oh dear, I'm getting sleepier and sleepier. I didn't sleep well today."

"Speaking of sleeping, Zhang Chen, do you know how you died?"

"I've died before?"

“Yes, I’ve died many times, but I always come back to life in a flash.” Li Yinuo spoke calmly about the topic of death.

"That time, you died in the middle of the night."

The girl with long, straight black hair looked up at the moon. "I was sleeping right next to you then. I kept crying and couldn't sleep, so you sang me a dog song. I looked at the moon in the sky and listened to your song, and I slowly fell asleep. I slept so soundly, so soundly."

"But the next day, when I woke up, I saw you surrounded by people, all of them staring at me with bloodshot eyes, saying..."

"How can you sleep so soundly, you dog?"

“I haven’t slept so well since then,” Li Yinuo murmured dejectedly.

Zhang Chen was taken aback.

"You got fooled." The girl with long, straight black hair blinked her pitiful eyes, leaned closer, and poked his cheek. "Of course, it was a story I made up. I write books."

“But that’s just the kind of person you are, Zhang Chen.” Li Yinuo gave him a deep look, then turned and pulled up Ye Zhi, whose health bar was almost depleted.

"Time for bed~ Goodnight, dog~"

Zhang Chen belatedly waved goodbye to her, leaving the words "goodnight" lingering in his mouth.

"Brother Chen!" Li Yu suddenly called out from the crowd on the playground, scrambling over as he asked, "You really got together with Li Yinuo?"

"Mm." Zhang Chen nodded.

"I'm truly convinced, I'm kneeling before you, brother! No, godfather! Teach me, I really don't want to live if I can't find someone like that in this lifetime!"

"This cannot be taught."

You'd have to live for at least two thousand years.

"Then help me get a few autographs from her, godfather! I want to show off to those girls!"

"Oh right! Didn't you go to Lin Yinmeng's film set today? Did you see her in person? What role do you play? What were all those birds doing in the sky tonight?"

"Come sing!"

Zhang Chen shook his head with a wry smile and walked into the crowd, preparing to pick up Xu Mianmian and take her home.

The little rabbit was still very curious about university life and would participate in various freshman activities in the evenings.

Li Yu then pressed him for an answer, asking who this Zhang Xiaotu was and why his name sounded so similar to his.

While they were making excuses along the way, they ran into Huang Yiming. However, Huang Yiming seemed to be afraid of him now, and hesitantly came over to plead for him. Perhaps Hong Jin, who was on the verge of death due to the curse of the crow, had let something slip.

Ignoring everyone else, Zhang Chen walked up to Xu Mianmian, and the group of "plastic sisters" immediately swarmed around him.

"Mianmian, you're close to him, could you put in a good word for us? We're all classmates, and we didn't know he was so close to Li Yinuo..."

"Yes, Mianmian, we've deleted all the posts on the school walls that were criticizing him... Please..."

"There's no need to make things so tense."

Li Yu was furious when he heard this, and went off to argue with his group of sisters.

Unable to dissuade him, Zhang Chen decided to ask Li Yinuo for a few autographs the next day as compensation.

"Go home."

“Okay, sir~” Xu Mianmian hopped over to him.

"My lord, Sister Hansu said she stewed pork ribs for you today."

"I was just thinking of eating this," Zhang Chen said expectantly.

"The rat demons say that the rat leader can't be found."

“Sing a song about goose and you’ll be back.”

"My lord~ Now that you're playing Lin Yinmeng's male lead, will you become a big star?"

"If I don't want to, I won't."

"My lord... if the film is made, will more monsters come looking for us?"

“That suits me just fine,” Zhang Chen shrugged.

Leaving the school inevitably meant passing through the woods again, where he saw the ground littered with the corpses of cicadas.

Zhang Chen paused, then remembered that many birds had come today and probably ate all the cicadas that were still singing.

But it was these cicadas that inspired him to come up with a way to save Lin Yinmeng's life.

“I’m sorry,” he sighed.

"Sir? Who are you apologizing to?" Xu Mianmian had already transformed into a rabbit and was hiding in his pocket.

"Follow the cicadas."

Why should I apologize to the cicada?

Zhang Chen didn't speak, bit his fingertip, dripped a drop of blood, and buried it in the soil.

"My lord... you're doing this again... Sister Hansu will scold you if she finds out," the little rabbit said pitifully.

"It's okay, she's easy to coax."

A short while later, countless cicadas emerged from the soil ahead of schedule, ready to continue singing their hearts out in this summer, just like their predecessors.

Several cicadas had just grown wings when they flew into the sky.

"Boom~"

After experiencing two extreme weather events, the sky was filled with layers of clouds, the weather was constantly changing, and there was a faint rumble of thunder, but it was not frightening.

Just like catching a cold from the snow in the middle of summer, the sky inevitably sneezed a little.

The rabbit climbed onto Zhang Chen's head and looked curiously at the clouds in the sky arranged like fish scales.

"My lord! The carp all say that the appearance of these fish-scale clouds means a dragon is passing by!"

“That dragon is too common,” Zhang Chen laughed.

"It's true! Jinzai told me!"

"Let's buy a pack, it's been a long time since I've had this," Zhang Chen said thoughtfully.

"Sir, if Jinzai knew the meaning of this name, he'd be angry, wouldn't he..."

"Ha ha..."

Zhang Chen and Rabbit chatted all the way back to the matchmaking agency, where Tu Shan Han Su had already set the dishes on the table.

Miss Fox's busy figure was also beautiful, and Zhang Chen stared at her for a long time.

And... a dark aura as dense as Li Yinuo's.

"What are you looking at? Wash your hands and eat." Tu Shan Han Su turned her head and saw him. "A customer just asked if you're still going to keep this lousy matchmaking agency open?"

"Go ahead and open it." Zhang Chen washed his hands in the fishpond and sat down. "Why wouldn't I open it? I haven't even found a girlfriend yet."

Upon hearing this, Miss Fox rolled her eyes with a charming expression, served him his meal, and chose to sit next to Zhang Chen tonight.

But she didn't take off his pants.

"Help me pay for my clothes," she suddenly said in a coquettish tone. "It costs over two thousand."

"What kind of clothes did you buy? Such a waste!"

Maid outfit.

"Two thousand isn't much, I'll buy it!" Zhang Chen changed his tune.

Although maid outfits are supposed to be worn by maids, those who wear them can actually control their masters.

However, Xiao Zhangchen said it was willing to be controlled.

"You pervert." Tu Shan Han Su resumed her aloof expression, changed seats, and sat opposite Zhang Chen, keeping her distance without sticking her feet out. "I'll let you rest tonight."

"Do you monsters feel more repressed the longer you live?" Zhang Chen asked.

"That depends on how stupid the monster is. For example, if it waits for someone for thousands of years, it's stupid enough to die, and it deserves it," Tu Shan Han Su said angrily.

Start eating.

Do not speak while eating or sleeping.

Zhang Chen would comply to some extent, and Tu Shan Han Su would wait until he was half full before starting a conversation.

Outside the courtyard, the sounds of bustling voices could be heard; it was the men from one family after another returning home from get off work.

Miss Fox twitched her ears at the sound and looked outside.

The windows of the apartment building lit up intermittently, as wives from one family after another greeted their loved ones.

Wisps of smoke drifted by, like stars falling to earth.

Tu Shan Han Su was mesmerized. She had loved watching the stars two thousand years ago, but she never imagined that the stars two thousand years later would be hidden in the lights of countless homes.

She looked away, then stole a glance at Zhang Chen, whose eating manners were unsightly. She pursed her lips and called out:

"Zhang Xiaotu".

"What?" Zhang Chen looked up, seemingly oblivious to her feelings.

"In your next life, you must marry a good woman, she has to be a human being, understand?"

"Oh."
