How come I was the one being targeted?

After waiting for a while at the food counter, when he returned with a big bag full of desserts, he found that Su Shang and Gui Naifen were thinking of some ideas again. Seeing Su Shang's half-understanding look, the two of them hit it off immediately.

"Let's go, Xiaojunzi! Let's go finish the unfinished business!"

Bai Jun ignored the mocking name "Xiao Junzi". He could sense a bad premonition from the smirk on Gui Naifen's face, so he decisively shook his head and refused: "I don't want to go. If you want to go, you two can go by yourselves."

"Ou Neigai, Bai Jun, can you come with me?" Su Shang wanted to come up and hold Bai Jun, but was met with a knife attack from Bai Jun.

"Well, okay..." Seeing this, Gui Naifen didn't know what to say anymore, so she had to pull Su Shang, and the two of them ran out happily together.

"How did the relationship between these two heat up so quickly? Should we say Su Shang is too naive..."

Bai Jun looked at the two people's backs as they walked away, and shook his head with emotion. He always felt that he might have forgotten something. It was not until Su Shang and Gui Naifen disappeared completely that he noticed the big bag of desserts in his hand.

——The case was solved. It turned out that I forgot to give Gui Naifen the dessert she ordered.

Bai Jun looked at the big bag of desserts with a headache, then looked at the two people who had disappeared from the street, regretting why he didn’t think of it earlier. Now, what should he do with so many leftover desserts?

If the quantity was small, Bai Jun could finish it in one or two days, but Gui Naifen ordered so much that he couldn't finish it even in two or three weeks. It was not possible to get a refund now. After thinking it over, Bai Jun decided it would be better to rush over and give the dessert to Gui Naifen.

When he was about to leave the dessert shop, the jade ring in his arms rang. Bai Jun took out the jade ring and the message on it showed Ye Lina's name.

[Don't bother me unless necessary. If you need help, please contact work: I'm already home, don't worry.]

Nan Liujing: Okay.

This is a very common polite remark in Xianzhou. It is usually used after going out with friends and returning home to report that they are safe. I didn't expect that Ye Lina had only been in Xianzhou for a few days and had already assimilated to this extent.

After Bai Jun's formulaic reply, just when everyone thought the topic was over, the other party sent several more messages in a row. It was obvious that he had not learned the essence of the Xianzhou people.

[Don't bother me unless necessary. If you need anything, please contact work: By the way, Bai Jun, I have to go back home in a few days...]

[Nan Liujing: Is the vacation over? I remember you said last time that there was still half a month left?]

[Don't bother me unless necessary. If you need anything, please contact work: Well, that's about it. I suddenly received a job change and have to go back quickly. But the good news is that I got a promotion.]

[Nan Liujing: Although it's sympathetic that your vacation was shortened, I still want to congratulate you on your promotion.]

[Don't bother me unless necessary. If you need help, please contact me at work: Good luck! By the way, Bai Jun, are you free these days?]

When Bai Jun saw this, his heart skipped a beat. After all, there were too many things going on these days, and he really had to think about whether he had the time.

[Don't bother me unless necessary. If you need anything, please contact me at work: It's nothing important, I just wanted to say goodbye... If you're busy, forget it. After all, isn't there a saying in Xianzhou that affection is enough?]

[Nan Liujing: When are you leaving? I'll see you off.]

After agreeing to Ye Lina, Bai Jun suddenly thought of a very serious question - his wallet was empty, should he still give her a farewell gift?

But after thinking about it, he felt that it would be better to give it as a gift. As for the money...why not just go and borrow some from Tingyun? No, it shouldn't be said to be a loan, it should be said to be compensation. After all, she broke her bed last night.

After making up his mind, Bai Jun clicked on Tingyun's avatar in the contact list.

[Nan Liujing: Send me some credit points.]

【Not a scumbag fox:? 】

[Not a scumbag fox: Oh my, what's wrong with you, benefactor? You're asking me for money so confidently (little fox's happy expression)]

[Not a scumbag fox: I remember you said before that you would rather die than lend me money. Could it be that you, the benefactor, want to follow my lead?]

【Nan Liujing:?】

[Nan Liujing: You broke my bed last night. This is compensation.]

[Not a scumbag fox: Alas, my benefactor really doesn't understand romance~ Is this enough? ]

"I'm not a scumbag fox. I'm transferring 100000 credits. Please accept."

Nan Liujing: That's enough, that's enough. No need to send more. This much money is enough for me to buy a new bed and a gift.

【Not a scumbag fox:???】

[Not a scumbag fox: What gift? Tell me clearly, who are you giving it to? ]

Bai Jun did not notice the message sent by Tingyun later. His eyes were only fixed on the 10 credit points she sent. With a ding sound, it seemed that not only the credit points but also the lost self-confidence were deposited into his account.

"Phew, problem solved. Now all I have to do is return the dessert to Gui Naifen."

Bai Jun put Yu Zhao back into his pocket in a good mood, picked up the dessert on the table, and walked out the door humming a song.

............

On the other side, Su Shang, who was following Gui Naifen foolishly, finally realized that something was wrong.

"At home, rely on your parents; when you go out, rely on your friends; when you step into a noble place, look out for strangers; the city walls are thousands of feet high because of the help of friends. Please stay a while!" The crisp sound of Gui Naifen's gong quickly attracted many passers-by.

Seeing that it was Gui Naifen who had returned, many people stopped and gathered around to ask, "Little girl, why are you here again? What kind of tofu-breaking rock show do you want to perform?"

Under everyone's gaze, Gui Naifen pointed her right index finger to the sky, clenched her left fist and gestured to Su Shang beside her, saying loudly, "Don't call me little girl anymore. Call me Gui Naifen from now on. Gui Naifen is the name Shang Shang gave me for my immortal boat. You ask who Shang Shang is? Qiangqiang—that's her!"

"Yes, it's Liao, I am Su Shang!" Su Shang, who was acting as a supporting actor for the first time, tensed her body and answered nervously.

The people around them looked at each other, wondering what they were doing. Some were even ready to leave. Seeing this, Gui Naifen spoke up in time, attracting everyone's attention: "Don't leave, don't leave, the main event is coming next."

She suddenly hugged Su Shang and announced in front of everyone, "Shang Shang will be my partner. I'll show you what it means to truly crush a stone!"

As expected, this statement instantly attracted everyone's attention, with some even shouting, "Real or fake? Gui Naifen, stop trying to fool us with this piece of tofu again. If this doesn't work, are you going to continue gambling with your reward money like you did just now?"

"I won't gamble! And with Shang Shang here, I definitely won't use something as trivial as tofu!" Gui Naifen said with his head held high.

"Oh oh oh!" There was a cheer all around.

Su Chang was a little unsettled at this point, and couldn't help but lean over to Gui Naifen's ear and whisper, "Little Guizi, I, I can't break a rock on my chest, can I?"

"Don't worry, just like we agreed in the dessert shop, you just lie down and leave the rest to me. You will definitely make a lot of money later!" Gui Naifen gave Su Shang a thumbs up and gave her an encouraging and reassuring look.

"Well, then..."

Su Shang half-believed and half-doubted as she hugged the blue granite slab and lay on the wooden table. But what happened next made her heart, which had finally calmed down, panic again: "Xiao Guizi, why did you tie me and the slab to the wooden table!?"

As Gui Naifen tied Su Shang to the large blue granite slab, she explained, "Because breaking a large stone with your chest requires stability, Shang Shang, you don't have much experience, and I'm worried that you won't be able to maintain the balance of the stone slab. This will prevent you from getting hurt."

"Really?... Then can I be the one swinging the hammer?"

Su Shang, with a stone slab tied to her chest, let out bursts of wails.

"Haha, of course not. Shang Shang, you don't know that swinging a hammer requires more skill. Otherwise, any deviation in strength and direction will cause injury. But you just need to lie down, and leave everything else to me! I swear by my six years of hard work, I will never hurt you!"

Gui Naifen glanced at the crowd around him, and then couldn't wait to pick up the half-human-sized stone hammer.

"What? You've only been learning for six years? And this hammer is almost bigger than me. Is there really nothing wrong with it? It's definitely going to crush me to pieces, right?!"

Looking at the huge stone hammer on Gui Naifen's shoulder, Su Shang's face lying on the wooden table turned pale with fright. She now suspected that Gui Naifen was taking revenge for what happened before?

"Don't worry, just close your eyes, it'll only take a moment."

Gui Naifen comforted him softly while quickly swinging the huge stone hammer and smashing it down hard, as if he was determined to burn his boats.

boom--!

Amidst the crowd's almost frantic cheers, the stone hammer, carrying the wind pressure, smashed the wooden table and the ground with terrifying force. The aftermath even caused several spider-web-like cracks to appear on the surrounding floor.

“Ahhhhh, I’m going to die, I’m going to die, I’m going to die, someone is definitely going to die!!!”

Su Chang broke free from the wooden table at the critical moment and looked at the ground that was smashed into powder, shouting with a pale face.

Seeing that Su Chang was safe and sound, the people watching around started to express their dissatisfaction, and some even started to boo: "Are you two really going to break a stone? If you don't know, you might think it's the ground version of underwater escape!"

"That's it!"

"I wanted to give you a reward, but this is what happened?

"I will never trust you again, Guifen!"

Hearing the boos from the people around her, Gui Naifen, who had thought this would be a perfect performance, looked anxiously at Su Shang, who was trying to escape with a stone slab tied to her body, "Shang Shang, why are you running away! Let me hit you!"

"No way! Xiao Guizi, you're definitely seeking revenge!"

"What revenge? I just want to smash the stone slab on you!"

Gui Naifen just said a few fewer words, but she didn't know that because of this, her words of comfort had completely changed their meaning in Su Shang's ears.

"Ahhh, Bai Jun, come and save my teeth!"

Seeing that Gui Naifen was too lazy to even find a reason and was clearly going to hit her, Su Shang, who still had a large slab of blue granite tied to her body, could only cry and flee in embarrassment. Facing life and death, she now felt as if she had countless strength all over her body. Even though she was carrying a large slab of blue granite, she still felt as brisk as flying.

This really troubled Gui Naifen who was following behind. She carried a stone hammer and shouted at the back while chasing: "Don't run, Shang Shang, I'll just hit you once!"

"No, no, no, no, I don't want that, Bai Jun, come and save me!!!"

Bai Jun, who had just arrived and saw this scene, asked: "?"

The Sky-Splitting Watchman Star, the Bright Sky Fire: Chapter 57: Big Wood and Small Wood (4k)

Bai Jun felt very tired.

He clearly just wanted to come over and give the dessert to Gui Naifen, but he was inexplicably drawn into the two people's street performance art.

After witnessing as an assistant the catching of bullets with bare hands, the piercing of the spine by a sword, the locking of the throat by a golden spear, and the shredding of white clothes by the chest, this farce finally came to an end as the crowd of onlookers left sparsely.

"Phew, it's over, it's over. You two really worked hard."

Gui Naifen faced the afterglow of the setting sun and stretched out lazily with satisfaction.

For some reason, there were an unusually large number of people watching her performance in the afternoon, and most of them were women. This made Gui Naifen, who usually had no more than ten people watching her, feel a little flattered. She weighed the tips in the small bowl and felt that the money she earned in this afternoon was almost equivalent to her efforts in the past month.

Gui Naifen was not a blindly arrogant person. She knew better than anyone that all this must be attributed to her two new friends - after all, there was no reason for her performance to attract so many women. It went without saying that it was Bai Jun's credit, right?

So Gui Naifen decisively divided the reward money into three equal parts, keeping only a small portion for herself, and handed the rest to Bai Jun and Su Shang in front of her.

"I don't want it. Xiao Guizi, just take it back and buy some food for your brothers and sisters."

Su Shang shook her head. After spending an afternoon together, she had a general understanding of the difficulties Gui Naifen's family was facing. Besides, she had a lot of fun that afternoon, so she pushed back the money Gui Naifen handed over.

Gui Naifen's smile froze for a moment. Her troubled expression flashed away, and she replaced it with an angry look. She rudely stuffed the money into Su Shang's pocket and warned her, "No, without your help, I can't make so much money. If you don't accept it, I won't be able to eat when I go back!"

"That's really not necessary. Friends don't need to care so much."

"Precisely because we are friends, you should accept it!" Gui Naifen put her hands on Su Shang's shoulders and interrupted her, her eyes revealing unprecedented determination.

Su Chang wanted to say something, but Bai Jun was not so picky. He took the initiative to step forward and took his share. Then he wet his fingertips with his tongue and counted out the total amount of credit points one by one.

"Well, the total cost of desserts is 82,000 credit points. This is 35,000 credit points for you, and you still owe me 47,000 credit points. I'll make it an even number for you, 45,000 credit points." As he said that, Bai Jun handed the desserts he had been carrying for the entire afternoon to Gui Naifen.

"Huh?! It's so expensive! 80,000 credit points is enough for my whole family to eat for half a month..."

Gui Naifen took the dessert with an expression of disbelief and swallowed hard, as if what she was lifting was not just a bag of dessert, but a bag of food that was equivalent to the weight of nearly half a month's worth of food for her entire family.

"After all, this is the center of Xingcha Sea. Prices are generally much higher than in other caves. But it's okay. At least the food tastes good."

Bai Jun shrugged, not seeming to care much. After all, whether in his past life or now, his attitude towards money was that it was enough as long as it was enough. After all, if one person was full, the whole family would not be hungry. If he had no more, he could just earn more.

Seeing this, Su Shang had no choice but to accept the money. When she inadvertently looked up and saw the fiery cumulus clouds in the sky, she suddenly realized the time: "It's almost evening... By the way, do you want to have dinner together?"

Gui Naifen scratched her cheek and declined her offer somewhat embarrassedly: "Thank you for your kindness, Shangshang, but I have to go back early to cook for my family, so let's do it another day!"

Su Shang understood this, but when she looked at Bai Jun, she got the same answer.

"I have other things to do later, I'll definitely do it next time." Bai Jun looked down at the time displayed on the jade sign, which was only half an hour away from the agreed time.

"All right...."

Gui Naifen noticed Su Shang's slight disappointment, and she walked up to her and put her arms around her neck, comforting her: "Shang Shang, don't make such an expression. If you don't mind, would you like to come to my house tonight? I'm sure my brothers and sisters will definitely welcome you."

"Uh, let's forget about this."

Although Su Shang appears cheerful and optimistic and doesn't put on airs, she is not so shameless as to visit the home of someone she just met, not to mention that Gui Naifen has more than a dozen brothers and sisters in her family.

"Really? What a shame... But it doesn't matter. You know, there's plenty of time in the future!"

In the blink of an eye, Gui Naifen had already gathered the pile of props on the ground into her bag. Then, holding the desserts in one hand and the bag in the other, she said goodbye to the two of them: "See you next time! I'll reserve a seat in the first row for you, although we can't really call it the first row if we're setting up a stall on the street..."

The sun was setting in the west, and the shadows of buildings and people were stretched out very long. Gui Naifen left the place in the afterglow of the sunset. Before leaving, Su Shang took out the jade omen and asked, "By the way, Bai Jun, haven't we added each other as friends yet?"

After she reminded him, Bai Jun also noticed this, so Yu Zhao exchanged contact information with her and the two separated.

On the way to the agreed location, the brilliant fire color of sunset was gradually replaced by the deep lead color, and the sky became dimly dark. The row of street lights beside the road flickered a few times, and then a soft warm yellow light appeared.

Bai Jun walked slowly to the Sanyu Bookstore in Changletian. He stopped, looked around the area, and finally his eyes fell on the bench under the street light.

Sitting there was an expressionless black-haired girl. The soft evening light from the roadside shone on her black and white skirt and the half-exposed white skin. Although she had a delicate and lovely appearance, her cold temperament seemed to lower the temperature around her by several degrees.

She seemed to notice the gaze coming from behind her, so she sat up straight and looked in the direction of the gaze.

"Ah, you're finally here..."

The cold expression melted in an instant, but before she could put on a gentle smile, surprise replaced it, and those red eyes that always showed no emotion slowly widened.
