Volume One, Chapter 54: Unintentional Teasing

His girl was shameless and never tried to conceal her feelings—he was well aware of all this, but he simply could not give her what she wanted.

The mention of Matron Xun made Yi Zhangzhu shudder; she glanced over in terror.

Ge Feng took the ceremonial scarf, and under the expectant gazes of the crowd, walked step by step toward the bride. Suppressing the excitement within him, he slipped the scarf under the bridal veil and slowly lifted it. The moment he saw Wanxi, he was stunned.

Yun Qixi stroked her chin, pondering for a moment, until a sly, cunning smile suddenly flashed in her eyes as if she’d come up with a brilliant idea.

“Who am I? Save your questions for the police.” As he spoke, Wei Renwu moved like lightning. In the blink of an eye, his dagger was pressed to the neck of the curly-haired man in black, frightening him so much he dared not move.

She approached the bedside and recognized the man lying there as Arang, though he looked rather frail at this moment.

“Very well. A country cannot serve two masters. Let’s resolve this matter first, then we’ll decide when to declare war on Japan.” For Pan Tingzhen to reach this point, he naturally had his own convictions. With things said so frankly, even if he were to object now, it would be of no use.

The lives of Americans are precious—those of American pilots are beyond any measure of value. Since that’s the case, and considering how hard it is for them to survive from rookies to veterans, why not enjoy life a little if they can? Why act on youthful impulse and risk their lives recklessly?

“It’s nothing. There’s still some time before dinner, and I’m not sure what to do,” replied Ai Mu, her tone unconsciously tinged with fatigue.

Duan Zhenting didn’t know much about the people around her, but he was at least familiar with Gu Qinghe, so he didn’t feel awkward throughout the evening.

This was, without a doubt, the last thing they wanted to see. That’s why they were willing to go to any lengths to sabotage the alliance between the two families.

When Mother Li first thought the girl might be from Huacheng, she worried that the pig she’d raised with such care would be snatched away, but upon hearing the girl was from Suicheng just like her, she was overjoyed. Even if they didn’t settle in Suicheng, they’d still find a home in Jiangcheng—not too far from her either way.

As time passed, she was surprised to find that he was the most rational and calm person she had ever met.

Lu Heng reached to pull away the other’s blanket, but unexpectedly, Meng Ziyao—who had been trembling on the bed—suddenly leapt up, transforming into a fierce grey wolf in an instant.

It looked like an ordinary punch, executed casually, without any elaborate techniques or variations—just a straightforward blow. Yet it drew upon the vast power of heaven and earth, gathering momentum into his fist.

Logically, the latter was the safer approach. After all, the spears embedded in him were already numerous—five or six at least—and his health bar was less than half full.

Gu Xinghe remained silent. Perhaps Wen Ningyu’s change in attitude was too abrupt for him to process. The last time they’d recorded the program, she’d still been provoking him, but now, within just a few days, her attitude had made a complete turnaround.

Yi Yi went to the bathroom and turned on the water, but as soon as she entered her space, she realized she hadn’t taken a proper bath there in days.

When the two were halfway through their meal, most of those around them had finished eating—some had left, while others lingered and chatted.

Ziyan, though she found Mo Ran’s request a bit absurd, had always regarded the princess’s words as law. Yet today, she found it strangely difficult to smile; it was as if the muscles in her face refused to obey.

“Who wouldn’t want to? If I had superpowers, maybe I could save more people.” This was the cry from a selfless scientist’s heart.

“You’ve got some nerve to say that! Even the support units have picked up your bad habits!” The group couldn’t help but complain.

“You must not have been paying attention in class again,” Li Wei said, glancing at An Ran and cutting straight to the point.

Garnett glanced at the scoreboard—the Celtics were trailing by seven points. No matter what, they had to get this stop, at least to give the substitutes a better chance.

Left with no choice, Fan Yanyan divided all of New York into sectors. Since he couldn’t find the hospital by photo, he began systematically searching each area, conducting a thorough sweep of the entire city. He believed that as long as the hospital remained in New York, he would find it.
